Chapter 170 – A Twisted Future
#170.
‘Did I get rid of it?’
Isabella Martinez murmured as she looked down at the lava formed by the molten heat.
The current blow was a synthetic magic called Blaze Burst, which was reborn by combining the sky king’s wings and flame magic.
Although her mana consumption was not trivial because each of her hundreds of feathers contained magic, Isabella did not regret it in the slightest.
He was also the one who returned to her past from the same future as her. If she was careless even for a moment, she might have attacked her using an artifact she didn’t know about.
She’s right to kill before she does anything crap.
‘I didn’t expect it to happen, but I really thought it would exist.’
About five months ago, she heard about a doppelganger incident at the Barrymore estate.
She clearly knew that the fact that an event that would have taken place several years before her return had been brought forward this far meant that what she feared so much might be true.
She was wary that even on that side she might someday notice and come back, but she didn’t actually think she would face it this soon.
Isabella didn’t feel relieved as she watched the lava bubbling and bubbling up, and continued to be wary of her surroundings.
What a comeback. As much as she was careful, her opponent must have prepared for it, so it is too early to conclude that it was a sudden surprise, but it ended here.
As she expected, she scanned the surroundings thoroughly when she heard a voice from above.
“Do you really want to fight?”
Turning her head up, she saw Gaon standing with her feet on the ceiling, as if gravity were being applied backwards.
Isabella spread her wings again.
“For a moment! Let’s have a conversation first. Do we really have to fight?”
“… Then why did you come?”
You can just treat each other as people who don’t have each other and just work in your own area, so what’s the reason to come all the way here?
To be honest, Union is lined with all kinds of ancient artifacts and artifacts that fly in from other dimensions, and they boasted so many that even if one more regressor increased, they couldn’t monopolize them all.
So, she must have been trying to dispose of herself if she dared to step in here.
Isabella thought so at least.
“I just wanted to check it out. Wings of the Sky King. Isn’t the owner famous? I had to hear the news, but I didn’t hear it, so I was curious. Did the future change just because of the butterfly effect, or did someone really intervene? Don’t you too?”
“… So what are you going to do?”
Gaon, who was already exposed to terrible firepower and tried to talk without counterattack, softened Isabella’s hostility a little.
However, her vigilance is not relaxed at all, and she concentrates her magical energy with the momentum to pour her attacks.
“What is your purpose?”
“… Should I tell you that?”
“Then change the question. How far in the future are you from?”
“Under… ! Are you kidding me? Can never say that I don’t know if you tell me first.”
Isabella’s eyes looked as if you were to set an example before you could force it on others.
A face full of conviction that it could never happen. Facing Isabella like that, Gaon spoke calmly.
“I’m from 15 years into the future.”
“What… ?”
“And then the world is destroyed by dimensional invaders.”
“… Nonsense.”
“It’s true.”
Isabella bit her lip hard.
The fact that she was completely unaware of this is evidenced by the fact that her eyes trembled with great agitation.
Gaon continued with the judgment that there was a possibility at this level.
“It was a monster that ate stars. No one even had the slightest adversity. We have to work together.”
“… So isn’t that enough? You grow power in your realm. I will continue to grow my strength in my realm.”
It didn’t look like he fully believed it, but even if the world was destroyed, it conveyed his will not to cooperate.
It was said that we should just focus on growth without caring about each other, but unfortunately, Gaon could not back down.
“… All right. Instead, please minimize the damage as much as possible in the future.”
“What do you mean?”
“Some of the people you killed will help you in future fights. If it’s not absolutely necessary, and your life isn’t in danger, please stop killing.”
Isabella’s face contorted.
The beautiful face, as if it had been painstakingly sculpted by an artist, instantly gave off a bloody force.
“Why should I? You think they’ll be of great help? No! Anyway, there are limits. But I can be much stronger. I’ll be more helpful than all of them!”
“… Anyway, I am alone. There will definitely come a situation where multiple hands are needed.”
“Stop talking nonsense! Do you want me to be a hogu? You do that to your heart’s content.”
Isabella turned her body towards her entrance as if she was no longer worth dealing with.
As she tried to leave, Gaon fell from the ceiling and blocked her way.
“Until we promise, we cannot send it.”
“You… Do you want to die?”
A spark of rage burned deep within her eyes. Gaon didn’t budge even in the act of burning up her own words as if she were going to put them into practice right away.
“Promise me. I can’t wait to see the damage increase like this.”
“…”
Sigh!
Isabella’s teeth gnashed and made a bloody noise.
But she thought it was a disadvantage to fight on this street, so she turned her body to her side.
However, she is blocked again by Ga-on, who is equally attached to her side.
“… What are we going to do now?”
“Didn’t you tell me? Promise me.”
“Do you think I will keep that promise?”
“Yes.”
“Her!?”
Isabella with a puzzled expression.
Her expression asked how she could be so sure, but through her conversation, Gaon noticed that she had high self-esteem and that her self-esteem was also huge.
He probably won’t break his promise carelessly.
She is the kind of woman who can break but never bend.
“Yeah, she can’t back down?”
“It is necessary to prevent the destruction of the world.”
“Haha! Under… Then there is nothing you can do … Die.”
Kwaaang!
With Isabella’s low declaration, her spread wings created a fierce frenzy, and she backed away.
She was trying to keep the distance as much as possible.
‘Then let’s try it.’
Looking at Isabella, who was moving away, Gaon focused on the stigma engraved on his right arm, thinking of using this opportunity to test the effect.
At the same time, the stigma that received the will shone briefly, and the compressed divine power spread throughout the body, strengthening the body.
The fear of death disappeared along with a short but exhilarating sense of transcending limits.
The stigmata of the sacrifice are very powerful, but they are just as dangerous. People who don’t know anything get drunk with this sense of omnipotence and run wild, unable to withstand the accumulated damage and die.
In the meantime, Isabella got her a safe distance and spread her wings again to bombard her.
Hundreds of feathers all at once surrounded her with terrifying flames and shot out, dotting her all around and piercing her down.
A dream that seems like she can’t get out of it.
However, Gaon’s enhanced body vision recognized all of them in detail, and his accelerated mind grasped the trajectory and searched for the path of life.
And the body that goes beyond the limits reproduces the results derived through it into reality.
Shit-
As soon as Gaon set foot, a crack cracked on the floor centered on him.
The energy from the pores all over his body swirled around him, and the storm that spewed from his feet gave him terrifying speed.
Fuu-!
He disappeared leaving behind an afterimage with the impact of the explosion of the air.
Whether Isabella has her own experience, she spreads her senses everywhere in preparation for a fight with Gaon, and uses her physical abilities accumulated through karma in her own way to pursue her footsteps, but Gaon was too fast to chase that much. .
Paaang—!
With the sound of air bursting again, Gaon appeared right behind Isabella.
“Huh!”
Her verbal persuasion was exhausting.
Since we cannot make even the slightest concession to each other, we have no choice but to engrave them directly on our bodies.
Gaon held up the spear at any moment and swung it with all his might.
Kwaaang!
“Kuu… !”
At the last moment, the hastily folded wings block the attack, but it bounces off without being able to shed all the shock.
Gaon spurred through the air and immediately chased after him, pouring out a series of attacks.
In an instant, the spears, which split into hundreds, took on substance one by one and hit Isabella’s whole body. Every single blow had the power to turn rocks into powder.
The retention time of the stigma is 10 minutes.
Because he had to put an end to it, Gaon trampled on one-sidedly, without any mercy, so that he had neither the time nor the will to fight back.
“Oh… Shut up! Get out of here!”
Isabella, who struggled with the attack, swung her wings wildly and swept all over her, but by then she had already moved behind her.
With another blow to the back, Isabella spun in the air and flew away, quickly balancing herself and staring at Gaon.
Her face was full of anger and bewilderment.
Even if you look at it objectively and discuss the disadvantages of her environment, Isabella was overwhelming over Gaon in terms of overall specs.
In her opinion, she is clearly being pushed one-sidedly when she should have won easily.
Gaon aimed his spear and opened his mouth.
“Are you going to continue? Promise me.”
“… Do not be ridiculous. I think I’ll make a promise like that!”
“Then are you going to die?”
“… Did you kill him?”
Even though she only had to compromise once, Isabella easily put her death in her mouth.
This is not good. It’s not simply because he couldn’t get the promise, it’s because with this personality, there is a possibility that he will die somewhere without his knowledge.
It would be a huge loss for Gaon if he died meaninglessly with a lot of talent.
As I imagined such a future, my face naturally hardened and my eyes became ferocious.
The troubled Gaon nodded his head.
“All right. Then die.”
As soon as those words were finished, Gaon, which became a huge whirlpool, attacked Isabella.
