How great exactly? What kind of lifeform is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shua!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabelle teleported them further along the direction again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, they arrived somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wears the skins of the strong as clothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It uses the bones of the powerful as its tower’s foundation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It fills its hollow body with the flesh and blood of the mighty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything it possesses allows it to ignore all magic—blades cannot cut it, spears cannot pierce it!

Malice. Dark intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply approaching it made one feel on the verge of madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from twenty thousand kilometers away, Rei could feel his soul being pulled toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a tower that constantly devoured souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with weaker soul control might have already had their spirit ripped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its size wasn’t enormous, based on its presence alone, its threat level was at least Sinking-Continent tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly even beyond it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rei, can you handle it?\" Luluvi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don’t know how to get close to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to get close?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within two hundred kilometers. If that’s not enough... maybe fifty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he summoned a Void creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rift in space opened, and the Void entity appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the Void Pillar Guardian materialized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It collapsed to its knees and fell lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its soul had been instantly sucked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul absorption again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a fourth-tier nation-destroying monster was killed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei realized he was probably still standing only because Isabelle had been protecting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly cast multiple spells on himself—mental stabilization shields and soul-protection barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death magic also contained spells specifically meant to guard one’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei sacrificed souls to strengthen those protective spells further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll bring Obadus here,\" Isabelle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should be able to protect you perfectly up to that distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood atop the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This monster was truly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fought it directly, it would probably be quite entertaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since her disciple had an idea, she would let him try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabelle was curious to see where Rei’s limits truly lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul-extraction ability he possessed could instantly kill countless sixth-tier Sinking-Continent monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing him use it sparked numerous ideas in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extracting a soul from a body that didn’t suit it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps soul magic could accomplish something similar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Messer had been extremely skilled in soul magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he had used it for the right purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rei failed to kill the Lord of Ten Thousand True Souls, Isabelle planned to initiate Plan B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, have Obadus escort Rei away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she would personally test herself against the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she couldn’t win...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t defeat it, the consequences wouldn’t just fall on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire continent of Rellen might be doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even if they couldn’t win immediately, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Obadus and Kumironi protecting them, they could leave no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they died... their corpses could still be carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabelle vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei honestly couldn’t tell how she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it extreme speed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or spatial magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to common knowledge, long-distance teleportation magic was nearly extinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only short-range fifth-tier spells like Blink remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that only moved about 50 meters, required a long chant, and was difficult to use in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that spell were upgraded to no-chant... it would be incredibly useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently every fifth-tier mage dreamed of mastering that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei made a mental note to ask Isabelle about it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His level was still too low, yet there were too many things he wanted to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many forbidden books to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entire disciplines like Fate Studies, Chronology, and Future Theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with extremely high spirituality, those fields were towering mountains of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he wasn’t even a divination-type class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding them wouldn’t happen overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were combat techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he formed his own ultimate style, he would have to create his own combat system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to determine his second Origin Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Isabelle returned with Obadus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the situation, Obadus thumped his chest confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll rely on you, Stone Bro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally Rei had still felt a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment Obadus arrived, that anxiety completely disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything suddenly felt stable and secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabelle spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are restrictions outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll break them.
