Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

When Benjamin saw that his first shot had missed and was about to reload with one hand, the flash of a sword was already in front of him.

One sword sliced ​​the barrel of his hunting rifle in two, and the other sword severed the gun barrel along with the other arm that was holding the gun.

"Ahhh!!!"

Benjamin, who had lost both arms, let out a piercing scream, but Isaac's attack did not stop.

"I told you, you'll have to atone with your death."

Without a shred of pity, Isaac stepped forward and kicked Benjamin in the chin, sending him flying into the air.

At the same time, the sword in his hand unleashed a storm of stabs at Benjamin in the air at an incredibly high speed, invisible to the naked eye.

Blood rained down from the sky, and in just a few seconds, Benjamin, who had lost both hands, was riddled with holes in mid-air, with no part of his body intact.

thump!

The moment Isaac sheathed his sword, Benjamin's body crashed to the ground, his blood staining the wooden floor crimson.

Standing on the blood-stained ground, Isaac's once jet-black hair and beautiful face were now soaked with blood, and half of his school uniform and skirt were also stained red.

He paid no attention to these details, casually flicked his sword to wipe away the blood, and slowly sheathed it.

A corpse, and a blood-stained 'girl'

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun outside the window, the scene inside the library appeared particularly eerie.

Some of the bolder girls sneaked back to check on the battle, only to find Isabella (Isaac) covered in blood standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, a faint smile on her lips.

The feeling was like a rose stained red with blood.

"...I swear that if anyone comes up with such a terrible idea again, I'll twist their head off."

Chapter 1009: Luo Ting

Benjamin Duvren, the serial killer who was sentenced to death two years ago, finally died today at the hands of Isaac.

When the police arrived and saw Benjamin's body covered in countless sword holes, some officers felt their trypophobia was about to kick in.

When the body was covered with a cloth and taken away, the blood was so thick that it soaked through the outer white cloth.

Judging from the only remaining three-sectioned shotgun and the cut marks on the severed arm, the person using the sword did not employ traditional fencing techniques, but rather a kind of knife skill, and the user's technique was extremely superb.

The police originally wanted to find one of the participants in the incident, the student's 'Isabella', to get some information. However, this student, Isabella, seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Although she has disappeared, the legend of Isabella has spread throughout the girls' school.

Meanwhile, no phantom books remained at the scene, as they had already been collected by Isaac.

In the garden, Isaac had returned to his original form and threw the book he was holding in front of Dalian and Hugh.

"So that's how it is. Is it the Book of Gaps? No wonder that murderer was able to hide in the library undetected for two years."

"The Book of Gaps?"

“Once someone is stuck to this book, they become as thin as paper and can be sandwiched inside. Murderers use this book to hide themselves and their victims,” Darian explained. “Compared to the Book of Another Dimension, this Book of Gaps is far more limited.”

"Now that the Illusionary Book has been retrieved, this matter can be considered resolved satisfactorily," Hugh said with a smile.

"Ah, indeed."

Dalian looked at Isaac sitting in front of her with a wicked grin.

"It showed me something really interesting."

"Forget about what happened today." Isaac's eyes suddenly turned fierce. "Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to cut off your heads and burn them."

--------

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the campus.

The group could have driven back last night, but Hugh said he wanted to say goodbye to his aunt, so they stayed overnight until the next morning.

It's worth mentioning that after Isaac returned to his original form, many girls at the school searched for Isabella's whereabouts. Some even went to Matilda's door late at night to ask her if she had hidden her bodyguard.

This left Matilda quite perplexed.

In the principal's private room, Hugh and Darian sat lazily on a luxurious leather sofa, while Isaac leaned against the wall.

As for Fran? She's still locked in the trunk of the car.

Deep inside the room stood a blonde woman exuding an unusual feminine charm; she was an intellectual beauty of unknown age.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

She elegantly crossed her legs, her face full of affection.

The principal standing before him was none other than Hugh's aunt, Rodin.

"Thanks to you all, no students were killed. Thank you! Although I am saddened by the loss of an excellent teacher, I will do my best to help her bereaved family and students."

“We’re just here to find books,” Hugh interrupted her, shaking his head. “We don’t want to concern ourselves with anything else.”

"Then let's just say that."

The blonde woman, Rodin, smiled nonchalantly and looked at Isaac, who was standing against the wall.

“I never expected that the ‘Alchemist of the Early Century’ would come with Hugh. I am truly flattered.”

"You know me too?"

"Your name is renowned in noble circles. As the strongest who defeated an ancient magician, many people yearn to see your face," Rodin chuckled. "Do you find these girls at our school cute?"

"It's so annoying."

"Oh dear, what a pity."

"I have absolutely no idea what's so regrettable about it."

Luo Ting covered her mouth and chuckled, "There's a rumor circulating among the girls right now, 'The Crimson Sword Princess Isabella,' she's got many girls in this school completely mesmerized!"

"Shut up! I don't know anyone with that name at all, I've never even heard of it!"

"Really? Even my heart has been captured by this handsome young lady..."

Do you want me to rip your heart out right now?

Just kidding~

As she spoke, she turned to look at Hugh, who was deliberately avoiding her gaze.

"So... Hugh, what do you think of that child?"

"Who?"

"Of course it's the kid you hang out with."

You mean Jessica?

After the incident, Matilda and Isaac lured the enemy out together, while Jessica, Hugh, and Darian gathered intelligence together.

"I think she's a good kid. She's brave and smart, and I received a lot of help from her this time."

"Really? So you like her." Luo Ting laughed. "That's wonderful. That child will definitely grow up to be a beauty."

"Ok?"

"'Great'? What do you mean?" Hugh asked, frowning.

"The youngest daughter of the Earl of Elfenston, a prominent family in the South. Don't you think she's a good match for your family, Lord Hugh Anson Deswart? Although in this day and age, choosing a fiancée doesn't really matter about titles or status, there are still plenty of nagging relatives, aren't there?"

"I see, so you wanted to help me choose a fiancée... Did you want to pair me up with her from the very beginning?"

"Well... what exactly is it?"

Looking at his aunt, who was deliberately feigning madness, Hugh sighed in annoyance. Meanwhile, Darian nudged Isaac's shoulder.

"Do you also want to kill this crazy woman? Do it now, I give you permission."

"How about we put her and Fran together in the trunk of the car?"

"good idea."

"Hey, hey, hey, what scary things are you saying?"

Rodin keenly noticed that when she offered to help Hugh find a marriage partner, Dalia's gaze turned fierce.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now, 'Auntie'."

Hugh didn't want to say anything more to this annoying aunt, so he said goodbye and left.

……

Back at his car parked next to the school, Hugh took out the keys and started the car.

Matilda and Jessica, who had been waiting there for a long time, also came to see him off. Matilda, carrying a box, came to Isaac.

"Lord Isaac, this is for you."

"what is this?"

"The students said they wanted to give some gifts to their 'older sister'."

"..."

With a bad feeling, I opened the box, and sure enough, it was filled with all sorts of love letters.

Chapter 1020: Isaac Wants to Become a Macho Man

"You're getting more and more monstrous, Isaac, to actually tie up a beautiful young girl and lock her in the trunk of a car."

"Shut up, it's all your fault for being cheeky."

After Hugh drove to his mansion, Isaac pulled Fran out of the trunk, meaning she had been jostled around in the trunk the whole way.

"I'm not being cheeky, I'm just praising your beautiful face."

"That's just how it is. The term 'beautiful face' is an insult to a macho man like me."

"You're really trying to make yourself look good... By the way, is there any point in you doing this now?" Fran looked down at Isaac, who was rising and falling.

She was sitting cross-legged on Isaac's back, while Isaac took off his coat, leaving only a thin vest, and was doing push-ups with one fingertip supporting him on the ground.

"Stop talking nonsense, have you counted them?"

“I’m counting, it’s three thousand and five times now.” Fran shifted to a more comfortable position on Isaac’s back. “I don’t think it’s any use at all, you haven’t even broken a sweat.”

"Who told you to be so light? If you had used an armored vehicle that was so heavy, it would definitely have been effective by now."
