"Thank you so much!"

Under the constant pressure of the decomposition bombardment, Oscar was pinned to the outer wall, unable to move. Finally, the Black Umbrella seemed to have reached its limit and gradually broke down. Oscar sent materials from the "treasure house" to refine and repair it, but the speed of the repair was still insufficient.

The spire behind him gradually turned into dust due to the aftermath of the bombardment, and Oscar's back began to sink into it.

Finally, the Black Umbrella was completely destroyed, the outer wall of the spire collapsed, and Oscar was pushed into the tower by the force of the bombardment.

"...How tenacious. Even after that blow just now, it's still able to maintain its original form."

The apostle muttered to himself as he rushed into the spire in pursuit.

However, after entering, Oscar was nowhere to be found.

There was a hole in the ground, and it seemed he had escaped to the lower floors. The spire had twenty floors, and I was currently on the seventh. Two floors below was a door leading to the Great Temple.

"It's a waste of effort."

Perhaps he was trying to buy time to heal himself. How cowardly he was—the apostle thought to himself and immediately chased after him.

Surprisingly, the hole in the ground led directly to the lowest level. Oscar was there, and did not escape into the Great Temple.

"Have you finally given up?"

The apostle asked this while his entire body was radiating silver light. Oscar did not respond.

He leaned his back against the wall, without a black umbrella or any shield in his hands, his hands covering his sides and his eyes closed.

The apostle, taking this as his assent, raised his hand towards him.

"You're a good chess piece."

Those were probably his farewell words. With that, the apostle fired a disintegration bombardment, aiming directly at Oscar's heart.

"Okay, generation complete!"

Oscar spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he had not heard the apostle's words at all.

At the same time, he extended the hand wearing the armored black glove.

"What!?"

The apostle exclaimed. She must have been surprised from the bottom of her heart.

Of course. Disintegration Blast was the Apostle's most powerful attack, capable of disintegrating anything. However, it was negated by the sunlight blast fired from the armored black gauntlet before her eyes.

"Thank you for your assistance."

Oscar pushed his glasses with his hand, a smile on his face, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

"Could it be... you turned decomposition magic into a divine weapon!?"

Oscar shrugged, suggesting that the apostle's speculation was correct.

Just as she had speculated, this was the true function of the armored black gloves.

The essence of Generative Magic lies in "interference with inorganic matter," and Generative Magic itself is the magic that creates minerals with magical properties. Normally, when creating artifacts with the assistance of Meredith and others, they also have them actually use magic to attach it to the minerals.

In this case, Oscar thought of another possibility, that is, when he endured the enemy's magic, he might be able to use it directly to create artifacts, thereby stealing the enemy's magic.

Of course, it is definitely not an easy task. To put it into practice in combat, many difficult conditions need to be overcome.

But he still managed to do it, because Oscar Orcus was an unrivaled alchemist.

While using the black umbrella to block the decomposition magic, he absorbs it through "Magic Eater". At the same time, he analyzes the magic power through the "Intelligence Perception" function of the black glasses, and at the same time inputs the magic power into the armored black gloves and uses generation magic on them.

Thus, he completed a pair of gloves with decomposition magic.

"You actually stole the divine power bestowed by the Lord...!"

"What, are you angry?"

Oscar said this as he sank into the wall behind him. He used Alchemy to create a hole in the wall and then restored it after passing through.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"I won't run away."

Oscar's body sank into the wall. The decomposition bombardment hit that wall, but...

"It can't be decomposed!?"

As the apostle exclaimed, the entire room began to shake. Then, from all directions, a sharp "ji--" sound, like the friction of hard materials, could be heard.

The surrounding walls gradually deformed, forming seamless rotating blades.

The apostle noticed spinning blades appearing beneath her feet, so she flew upwards and remained suspended in the air. The hole she had just entered from above and the original stairs were also sealed, transforming into spinning blades.

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with brilliant sunlight and began to shrink rapidly.

The Apostles fired disintegration bombardments in an attempt to break free.

"The room itself is filled with decomposition magic power...?"

The decomposition bombardment was countered, unable to destroy the room. The apostle slashed with his twin greatswords, but they were deflected by the spinning blades. Even if the blades were damaged, they would be instantly forged and repaired.

──Domain creation toy box.

"You like games, don't you? Then play to your heart's content. This is a death game. Let's see if you can escape happily."

"Oscar Orcus!"

The apostle finally realized she had been completely deceived, and roared furiously. The roar came from her dantian, and it was hard to imagine that the apostle was truly emotionless. And these were the apostle's final words. In the end, she still couldn't escape.

Oscar didn't intend to personally inspect the situation inside the room. He already knew the outcome through his "Intelligence Vision" ability. He didn't dare look at the horrific scene inside; it must be terrifying. Oscar, without any regrets, turned and ran.

The next goal is to use the strongest attack I just obtained to destroy the cause of my companions' difficult battle.

On the other hand, the battle in the air intensified.

“Wow, huh!”

"Hate it! You're so agile, but you're like a cockroach!"

Meredi had lost all of her protective feathers, her black pearl was more than half destroyed, and she had numerous minor wounds all over her body. Mei'er's "Sky Corridor" was breached, leaving her riddled with spears and arrows.

"Dance! Dance like crazy! That's what God wants to see!"

Seeing that the battle situation was in our favor, Lusilu's expression twisted with joy.

Suddenly, dozens, hundreds of bolts of lightning rained down upon the two of them like a torrential downpour. The wind grew fierce, making it increasingly difficult for them to breathe. Bullet-like hailstones threatened to rip through their flesh at any moment. The magical light, like the dawn's dawn, must always envelop them.

If this continues, everything will be over once Mei'er runs out of magic power.

At this moment, an apostle, hidden in the tornado, rushed out from the inside and appeared behind Meredith. This was a perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.

“““!?””””

However, the apostle stopped moving. So did the other two apostles. They simultaneously turned their gazes toward the Great Temple, as if witnessing something unbelievable.

"Apostle?"

Lusilu thought the apostles were looking at him, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

The apostles' reaction was so abnormal that Darion and other knights could not help but stop their attack.

"They actually used our magic...!"

"Oscar Orcus!"

Upon hearing this, Meredith and Mei'er raised their lips in a mocking expression. Then, the silver light that enveloped the entire temple suddenly vanished.

"What!?"

Lusil began to waver. Knights like Darion also opened and closed their hands, bitter expressions on their faces. On the contrary—

"Huh—hahahaha! My spring has finally arrived! Hey hey hey, old man over there! How are you feeling right now? How does it feel to have a situation that was absolutely favorable turned around? Come on, tell me!"

"Xiao Mi, it seems like you're doing fine! Your irritability is off the charts!"

Meredith's face lit up with an unprecedentedly irritable expression as she laughed loudly. Mel also clapped her hands happily, her face beaming.

Because the "denial of paganism" and the "declaration of holy war" were cracked.

"So what? It's just a return to a state of equal conditions."

Darion said this coldly, his attitude showing disdain.

That's right, the right thing to do hasn't changed: fight for God with all our lives! The Light Guardians set out simultaneously.

"That's right. This is the holy war God desires. So, as God's chosen 'chess piece', all I have to do is fulfill my duty!"

Luxilu once again brought down heavy thunderstorms.

To defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, Darion, the knights, and the apostle, whose face had once again lost its expression, also rushed forward.

But a few blinks ago, Meredith used the Black Gate Key to teleport to Mel, who was holding the Black Gate. Oscar also appeared at the same time, with perfect timing.

"Mei'er, are you okay?"

"Of course, of course. Leave it to me, sis."

Oscar launched a disintegration bombardment to counter the apostle's disintegration bombardment, while Miledy controlled all the remaining black beads to hinder the rapidly approaching knights such as Darion.

In the brief moment they had gained, Mei'er closed her eyes to concentrate, then suddenly opened them.

"Territory creation—'Slowly and steadily'."

The radiance of morning light spread out in a spherical shape, causing the three apostles and Darion, who had finally broken through Oscar and Meredi's obstruction, to stop.

No. It was because their forward speed had slowed down suddenly that it looked like they had stopped. In reality, their forward speed was about the same as walking, but on this battlefield where everyone was moving at breakneck speed, their pace seemed incredibly slow, like a cow's gait.

The new magic "Slowly and Slowly" can create a delay field, slowing the flow of time within a radius of 50 meters.

Darion narrowed his eyes and activated "Golden Rule." He changed the target of the copy magic from Meredith to Meir, attempting to negate the effects of the delay field.

But he was a step too slow. Oscar stretched out his black-gloved, armored hands toward him and unleashed a disintegration blast.

Darion could only quickly raise his holy shield to block the attack. Even the holy shield could not withstand the strongest artillery bombardment bestowed by God.

"Ah!" After a painful groan, the holy shield and Darion's left arm turned into ashes.

However, he still managed to hold his opponent back. Three apostles circled in arcs from the left, right, and bottom.

"Mei'er, the bottom one is for you."

The black glasses' power saw through the apostles' actions. Oscar warned her, and while guarding against lightning strikes from above, Meredith cast "Magic Technique: Chaos" against the two apostles attacking from both sides, firing a series of high-level spells to curb their movements.

Meanwhile, Mei'er's accordion knife stretched out and split into hundreds of steel wires and blade segments along the way, unfolding like a net and entangling the apostle below.

"it's useless."

“—‘Bad Moment’.”

“Hmm!?”

The apostle's left hand suddenly disappeared, his combat gear was severely damaged, and his body was burned, festering, and swollen.

"Nice to meet you, Esther. It's time to say goodbye."

Indeed, the apostle who had been struck by this spell was Esther. This spell allowed past injuries to be recreated, and Esther suffered the same injuries she had sustained in the desert by a magma meteorite. The sudden, severe injury caused Esther to cease her movements, and a torrent of sand and dust descended upon her head.

"—'Absolute Image'."

A large amount of sand was restored, forming a huge, ultra-dense rock. It was a sealing stone that had been deliberately broken into sand beforehand. When needed, Mei'er could restore it in an instant, sealing the target within the rock.

“Uoooohhhhhhh!”

Knight Thorn roared with overwhelming force, and at the same time, he used his inherent magic "Exorcism" to counteract Meredi's magic power and charged forward swiftly.

Darion followed behind him, the holy spear in his hand emitting an unprecedentedly strong light. The other knights also rushed forward to protect the captain.

Oscar controlled the five remaining Hundred-Armed War Ghosts to block half of the knights and confront Thorne at the same time.

The glasses began to glow.

(I've seen this trick before. Since they knew it was coming, it's just like a trick you play on children.)

Seeing this, Thorn closed his eyes, guarding against his opponent's deception technique, what Nizu had called "glass beams." Even without seeing, he could sense through aura. If he charged recklessly, the expanded area of ​​his Apostle transformation would be enough to negate both Meredith and Mel's magic.

Stopping moving will only put you at a disadvantage—Thorne sneered in his heart.

“—Soul Charge.”

“Wu!?”

The soul was shocked, causing thoughts to become chaotic and magic to lose control.

As the magic elimination field disappeared, Thorne heard the word he was wary of.
