Chapter 743: Chapter 60: Mr. Isaiah, You Are the Murderer! (Part 2)
Mina’s eyes widened instantly, and she suddenly realized sothing.
The teacher in front of her was not real, but a projection! A projection ford by the embodint of starlight!
He was sitting right in front of Mina, less than a ter away from her, yet Mina hadn’t noticed at all.
…This was the power the teacher could use during Innocent Night.
Mina’s heart was filled with shock and admiration.
“Those devices restrict both and Hand Eye,” Isaiah chuckled as he spoke, “I cannot use my Right Eye any further, and naturally, he cannot use his Left Eye any further, and this level of {Gaze} cannot see through my disguise.”
“So, now he is not the one restricting , I am the one restricting him.”
Isaiah raised the tea cup, which was also an illusion, and took a gentle sip of the steaming tea.
Even the distant facilities and those monitoring him, including Mina, who had already realized Isaiah was an illusion, saw nothing suspicious.
“Ultimately, even without Visas’s Corpse, I am still the strongest of our ti,” Isaiah remarked casually, “And he, without Visas’s Magic Power, is nothing. That is the greatest difference between us.”
…
On the other side of Heavenly Sound Obedience, in the blind spot of the monitoring devices, Isaiah’s real body was gazing up at the starry sky, his face revealing little joy or worry.
What he did tonight was, one might say, the optimal solution he could co up with given the current situation. If successful, the balance with Hand Eye will instantly reverse.
But can it really succeed?
Isaiah didn’t know.
At this point, everything was proceeding according to his plan. The projection from Innocent Night had drawn all attention to him; now, he just needed to wait for Rocky’s arrival and then show Rocky and the unseen Miss Naless Finger the Rule of this finger to conclude the matter.
Isaiah didn’t think Hand Eye could stop Rocky and Naless Finger without showing himself, and once he shows himself, the constraining power of Taoyuan Village being a scam will be automatically declared, ending everything.
Everything was going smoothly.
But… can it really continue to go smoothly?
The guy with four pieces of the Corpse Blocks, who successfully sched against the entire Taoyuan Village, nearly forcing Isaiah into a corner, can Isaiah really turn things around so easily?
Isaiah didn’t know, but he would soon have the answer.
Not long after, he heard footsteps behind him. He didn’t imdiately turn around but spoke faintly, “You’re late, Mr. Rocky.”
Rocky carefully surveyed his surroundings, fearing that shadows might suddenly leap out with ambush soldiers to cut him down, but he also realized that if Isaiah intended to act against him, ambush soldiers wouldn’t be necessary.
“You think it’s easy to get out?” Rocky responded irritably, “After eting you, I’ve been targeted as well; going out now requires extre caution, and couldn’t you have chosen a closer place?”
Isaiah didn’t respond to Rocky’s complaints but slowly turned around to look at the visibly tense Rocky.
He noticed Rocky’s gaze darting back and forth, seemingly searching for sothing, and imdiately had a suspicion – clearly, Miss Naless Finger was also observing here.
This is even better.
“Then let’s get straight to the point,” Isaiah said to Rocky, “You can begin.”
Rocky didn’t want to waste ti either, nodded, and ford hand seals.
But he was also prepared; if he found Isaiah wouldn’t {Termination}, he’d imdiately run without hesitation.
Isaiah watched the crimson flas gradually climb up Rocky’s body, feeling the mighty and turbulent flow of Magic Power in the air, and slowly raised his left hand to ensure that the distant Miss Naless Finger could also see it.
“Let see then!”
Rocky unleashed the soaring flas towards Isaiah’s face, and amidst the roaring firelight, Isaiah pressed his two fingers together.
However, at the very mont when it was about to resonate, a deep sense of foreboding surged in Rocky’s heart, his Right Eye felt a piercing pain, and black blood gushed out from the bottom of his eyes, forcing him to release his fingers.
And then, with a swoosh, he was engulfed by flas.
Watching the blazing flas, Rocky was dumbfounded.
What the hell does this an?
He had considered that Isaiah might snap his fingers, extinguishing the flas. He had also considered that Isaiah might use other ans to end the flas and then launch an attack on him.
But he never imagined Isaiah would simply take the flas head-on without doing anything!
What is this, extortion?
Yet Isaiah, after all, is Isaiah; such an attack couldn’t kill him. In the flas, he clutched his Right Eye tightly and realized what was happening.
It’s Hand Eye!
That guy used the Rule he had borrowed out, then backfired the price.
And judging by the intensity of this backlash… he wasn’t using {Gaze}, but {Eternity}!
This guy actually mastered {Eternity}!
How is this possible?! It’s only been a month! It took Isaiah half a lifeti to master {Eternity}; why does this guy…
No ti to consider this now; there’s an even more crucial question.
Why did that guy use {Eternity} at this mont? Was it just to prevent him from using {Termination}?
A strong sense of unease surged in Isaiah’s heart.
And at this very mont, the long-silent camp suddenly erupted with screams, the monitoring devices straightened one by one, firelights flashed up, instantly turning the night into day.
Simultaneously, the angry and shocked shouts of the Guardians echoed throughout the camp.
“The Prison Director has been assassinated! The Prison Director has been assassinated!”
“The murderer has Visas’s Corpse Blocks on him!”
“Capture imdiately! Capture imdiately!”
Isaiah was shocked.
Hand Eye went to assassinate the Prison Director!? Has this guy gone crazy? Isn’t he self-destructing… wait!
Isaiah’s eyes suddenly widened.
Is this the plan?!
Can’t let him succeed!
Isaiah imdiately raised his head, intending to say sothing to Rocky.
But at this mont, where was anyone in front of him?
…
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Mina watched helplessly as the fully ard Guardians surrounded the Star Relic camp, and her previous composure and confidence were nowhere to be found.
“Teacher, teacher!” She looked towards the illusory Isaiah beside her, “What’s going on?”
Isaiah’s projection naturally suffered from the damage to the real body, flickering slightly now, as if it could disappear at any mont.
The Guardians approached Isaiah, and the Magicians of Star Relic tried to intercept them, but neither in quantity nor quality could they match the well-prepared Guardians and the accompanying representatives of various Churches.
In an instant, the Guardians were standing in front of Isaiah.
Mina still wanted to say sothing. One of the Guardians stared at Isaiah for a while, then with a swoosh, a Magic Barrier was set up, blocking the stars.
Isaiah’s projection imdiately dimd, and everyone saw this scene.
“Seems there’s no need for explanations anymore.” The Guardian placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said word by word, “Mr. Isaiah, you are the murderer.”
anwhile, at Lyra’s camp.
Ina looked at the lifeless body in front of her, which was fine this morning but now lifeless, and took a deep breath.
She said nothing, rely followed instructions and threw it into the already prepared Power Furnace.
With a series of excruciating noises, the charred body finally turned to ashes completely.
“What a ss.”
Ina rubbed her temples, feeling quite a headache.
Just then, a voice ca from outside the room: “Lady Ina, Contract Land wants us to co over; they’ve found Mr. Isaiah’s body.”
Ina nodded, taking one last deep look at the ash spat out by the Power Furnace, then turned and left.
