Chapter 276 Poseidon's Substitute

In a nobleman's manor somewhere in the city of Radiant Ashes.

A young nobleman named Kreve was swirling his wine glass, watching the girl fighting in the hall.

"Oh dear, Enarse, this is really irrational. If you had successfully reached the second tier before coming here, I might have been afraid of you, but you are only at the first tier now."

"That bastard Norsen is really a good guy; he took my things and then returned them."

"Not bad, not bad. Looks like it's been trained very well. After I train it a bit more, it'll be ready to be used."

Hiss!

Enarse plunged her sword into a sorcerer's heart, kicked him aside, and pointed her longsword at Kreve: "This will be your last smile."

Kreve laughed loudly: "You're almost at your limit now, you haven't even beaten my assassins, how are you going to kill me? Although this place is very close to your school, don't worry, I won't give you a chance to escape back."

Enarse stopped speaking, closed her eyes, and recalled the mysterious person she had encountered on the road—

Do you know why it was so easy to find the nobles behind the scenes?

"I know."

Do you have the resolve to face it?

"..."

"If you fail, your best friend Celia will be furious and seek revenge for you. In that case, she will lose her candidacy. Will you still go?"

"..."

Do you really know who truly deserves to die?

"..."

"The person who should be killed isn't those gangsters, nor is it Kreve, whom you're about to face, but..."

“I know. Whether it's the gangsters, Kreve, or… I'll kill them all, but… he's a third-tier mage, I'm not Celia, I don't have the strength to defeat a third-tier mage, I…”

"You have."

"I have?"

"Take this with you, and you will have the ability to despise all your enemies."

"This is... the Heart of the Puppet?"

"Put it on your puppet."

"..."

Enarse reopened her eyes and felt an inexhaustible magical power emanating from the puppet as her emotions fluctuated.

This magic not only allows the puppet to unleash extraordinary combat power, but it even affects her.

She looked up at Kreve, who was watching the show, and gave commands to the puppet.

"Kill them!"

The puppet seemed to be possessed by a god, unleashing combat power far exceeding that of a first-tier... no, far exceeding that of a second-tier. In just a few rounds, it killed all the sorcerers and came before Kreif, its longsword pointing at his forehead.

boom!

Kreve's wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

His eyes widened as he stared at the puppet before him and the stunned Enarse, his voice trembling with fear: "You...you're not Enarse, who are you?"

puff!

The longsword had pierced Kreve's forehead, pinning him to his seat.

As the surging magic power emanating from the puppet gradually dissipated, Enarse felt as if many cracks had appeared on the puppet's body.

While she was still in a daze, a girl's voice of support reached her ears.

"Such overwhelming power, did you receive it as a gift from the gods?"

Aina turned her head and saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The other person walked over and introduced themselves: "You must be Celia's friend. My name is Benovia. You may not believe it, but I have been guided by the gods to come and retrieve the Puppet Heart from your puppet."

Benovia glanced at the scene of devastation and wrinkled her nose slightly. "I'll clean up the trash for you while I'm at it."

Enarse paused for a moment, thinking of the mysterious person: "Reclaim the puppet heart from my puppet? Are you that mysterious person?"

"A mysterious person? I don't know, but I can roughly guess that you probably encountered someone from that organization."

"What organization?"

"It's a secret. Anyway, you've done your job, and it's time for me to take it back. Don't worry, I'll take care of things here. You don't need to worry about any sheriffs coming after you."

As Benovia walked toward the puppet, Enarse suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute."

Benovia turned around: "Is there anything else?"

After a moment of silence, Ainars said, "I... I haven't finished yet, there's still one person left."

"You should have said so earlier! Are you going to go see him now? Or will he come over?"

I want him to come over.

"Okay, we'll deal with it together then. I'll leave now. Call me when you're done."

Benovia left immediately after speaking.

Before leaving, she looked at Enarse's puppet with a curious expression.

Aina took a deep breath, ignoring the strong smell of blood, opened her bracelet, and sent a message to Norsen.

"I did it, can you come over here for a second? I'm so scared."

Norsen replied quickly: "You did it? Wait, are you at Kreve's house? I'm coming right away."

Half an hour later, Norsen led his men into Kreve's house.

In his shock, he didn't even notice that Benovia had recorded the scene of him leading his men in.

As Norsen entered the hall of the Kreve family manor, he was choked by the strong smell of blood and coughed a few times.

Looking up, he saw Kreve dead in the main seat, and the hall was a mess with corpses strewn everywhere.

Enarse leaned against a pillar, her head buried between her knees, seemingly crying.

Hearing the voice, Enarse looked up at Norsen, "Lord Norsen, I did it! Can you give me a hug?"

However, Norsen did not step forward to embrace her, but instead ordered, "Tie her up."

Two henchmen immediately rushed over and tied up Enarse.

Enarse looked up, staring intently at Norsen: "Why?"

Norsen said, “You killed a nobleman, and this matter is unlikely to be resolved easily. I need to set an example by pretending to tie you up and sending you back first. You can come out again after things have calmed down.”

Enarse said calmly, "You can hug me and then tie me up."

Norsen looked at the dagger his men had taken from Ainars and smiled slightly: "You've been influenced by Kreve, Ainars. You need to calm down."

Enarse stared at Norsen and slowly said, "Norsen, do you know, back then, when I was being bullied, you stood up for me when you happened to be passing by. I thought you were my prince."

"At that time, I had no other thoughts but to wait until I successfully became a sorcerer and then go to find you, even if it meant becoming your follower. Later, my father and mother were both killed by them, but I still didn't think about you. After you appeared and drove them away for me, I was willing to become your follower, your follower sorcerer."

Norsen frowned: "No need to say anything, Enarse, I believe you. Go back and calm down first."

Enarse seemed not to hear him and continued, "But every time we meet, you are still distant and wary of my every move, which confuses me. Later, I discovered that you nobles like to drive young commoner girls to the brink of despair and enjoy the pleasure of making desperate girls your slaves."

“I don’t want to believe you’re that kind of person, but your aloofness, your vigilance, and the things you’ve had your other followers do all tell me that you are.”

A deep blue light emanated from Ainars's body, and her aura was rising steadily.

I forgot to send it.

Chapter 277 Revenge

An endless abyss, a sealed land.

Sea God Ethel glared at Ross, angrily saying, "This broken puppet can be dealt with by the fragments of its divine essence itself, why do I need to descend? Descending is one thing, but why do I have to obey the commands of a girl whose divine bond is less than that of an ant?"

Ross said with a smile, "You seem quite willing, don't you?"

Ethel snorted but didn't say anything.

Ross chuckled: "You don't actually think that by using my power to briefly descend into the realm of divinity, you'll have a chance to escape, do you?"

Ethel remained silent.

He does indeed have this plan.

In the end, however, Rose did nothing but withdraw the divine power he had used to break the sealing array with the help of the divine fragments, and Ethel severed her connection with the divine fragments.

Ross said calmly, "However, I still have to thank you. Your arrival has confirmed one thing for me: your divine power does indeed have the ability to help me escape. Of course, your divine power alone is not enough, but it doesn't matter. I have already obtained clues about the Ice God. With two more divine powers, the day I escape will be the day I escape."

Ethel snorted: "Two-tenths of a divine fragment. You think you can escape? Dream on. You need at least sixty percent of the divine power. Not just one, but all of it. Forget about my share. Under Zeus's design, the Tranquil Sea is not much safer than the Divine Realm Continent."

"Is that so?" Ross chuckled. "Continue. That girl is calling again. Don't you want a devout believer?"

Reluctantly, Ethel descended into the fragment of godhood through the magic circle torn open by Ross using the fragment of godhood. Sensing the complete lack of faith, he grumbled, "A devout believer? She doesn't even know who I am!"

……

Enarse's rising momentum made Norsen feel uneasy.

Without hesitation, he ordered his men, "Kill her."

The two henchmen who had bound Ainars immediately raised the dagger they had taken from her and stabbed it towards her neck.

However, just as the dagger was about to touch her skin, a deep blue magical shield appeared around her, completely enveloping her and turning her into a little blue person.

Enarse murmured to herself, "I don't know who you are, maybe a god, maybe... an evil god, but you have given me the power of revenge, so I will give you everything. Please wait for me, I am about to finish."

This time, she didn't use the puppet. Feeling the power transmitted through the puppet, she felt her body was being torn apart by this mysterious power, unable to withstand it.

but……

enough.

Tear!

The ropes binding Ainars shattered instantly.

Upon seeing this, the two henchmen beside Enarse were about to summon the puppets, but Enarse grabbed them by the neck with one hand each.

A terrifying deep blue magic erupted.

Click!

Enarse took her dagger back from one of them and stared directly at Norsen.

“Northon, I know it was Kreve who did it first, and I know that after you first saved me, you ‘snatched’ me from him. If you did nothing after that, I would be your follower now, your most loyal assassin. I don’t understand.”

Norsen's men summoned puppets and charged forward, but Enarse killed them one by one with a single strike, each blade piercing the puppet's heart and causing it to explode.

"I don't understand why you did that? Why did you have to drive me to the brink, to the point of ruin and death? Why are you so disgusting?"

Norsen summoned his puppet, quietly retreated, and sneered, saying, "Would you feel guilty for killing the puppy's parents, raising the puppy, playing with it, and then killing it?"

Enars gave a self-deprecating smile: "Is this the arrogance of the nobility? Heh..."

Many of her henchmen rushed towards Aenars, only to be killed one by one by her enchanted dagger.

Meanwhile, Norsen had already run to the entrance of the hall and was about to go out when he bumped into an invisible and solid magical wall.

He immediately ordered his puppets to launch the fiercest attack on the wall.

All the spells struck the invisible shield, emitting a deep blue light, but had no effect.

He was a little panicked.

He turned to look at Enarse and found that most of his men had been killed, and the remaining men looked at each other and were retreating as she advanced.

"Stop her! No, kill her! Whoever kills her will be rewarded with a thousand!"

No one dared to move.

Enarse's aura was still growing stronger, so strong that they couldn't even muster the will to resist.
