Chapter 149

* Few minutes ago *

Ludger, who just woke up from the illusion see the Tower Master with his horrible killing intent directed at Duke Kadaklan, Kismet.

The Tower Master angry face and his sharp and heavy killing intents that direct to Kismet direction, turn Kismet face becomes pale and unable to move because the pressure.

"...How dare you hurt me again! I will kill you horribly!"

Hearing his words, Ludger started to gather his magic power and started to prepare for his counterattack to kill the Tower Master.

'I can't make that illusion become a reality.' Ludger panic and a thought comes up for first time after he reincarnated in this world he decided to kill a person.

Right, Ludger decided to killed the Tower Master. Although he sometimes kill the monster or the undead and the black robe group members, but it was the first time for Ludger to wanted to kill someone from his heart.

Such thought make Ludger feel terrified because he seems to lose himself because of the illusion.

But such thought didn't lingered too long in his mind because everything looks as if turned bloody red like the scenery he keep seeing in that illusion.

'I have to kill him or he will kill everyone.' As if something whispered directly to his mind, Ludger raise his hand and preparing a magic attack to the Tower Master direction.

It was a powerful magic attack that he believes that it will kill the Tower Master instantly in his current condition.

"Guh...!" Kismet groaned because of the pain from the increasing pressure the Tower Master's dreadful and foul pitch black magic power.

Blood started flowing from his mouth and nose. He tried to fight back, but the horrifying magic power of the Tower Master seemed to be unaffected by it.

The power that looks like it is coming from hell or the abyss. Different from the previous black robe group members they face before, the Tower Master has a thicker density of that pitch black magic power.

"After I kill you, no one will prevent me from taking Ludger with me." An eerie smile appeared on the Tower Master's face and made Kismet unconsciously shiver because he couldn't imagine what he would do to Ludger.

As the Tower Master prepares to end Kismet's life with his attack magic, another magic attack appears inside the Tower Master's barrier and tears his body apart. The magic attack is quite powerful, but it isn't able to take the Tower Master's life, as the Tower Master's chest and head remain intact.

"Wh...Why?" The Tower Master looks confused as he turns his head in Ludger's direction.

"I have enough with your bullshit. Don't act as if you have know me for a very long time and act like you are close to me because it was disgusting and make me want to puke. If you were crazy, you better go to psychiatrist or lock yourself in a secluded place far away from any other living being forever or just kill yourself and die!" Ludger angrily said with whatever cuss words he could remember at that moment.

He couldn't understand why he met the crazy Tower Master tonight or why the Tower Master had such an obsession with him. The only information he could get from their conversation before was about the fact that the black robe group members are being known as 'nameless'.

Ludger's head throbbed, and he could feel the terrible headache because it was the first time he had almost emptied his magic power or had less than ten percent of magic power after he left the East. Even though Ludger has a larger capacity of the magic power than most people in this world, but he uses more than sixty percent of his magic power to break 5he illusion that is more like a curse from the Tower Master.

He had read about the illusion magic before. That's why, at first, he tried to hurt himself, but the illusion magic cast by the Tower Master was stronger than the usual illusion magic because it also contained the curse power. And the only way to dispel it was to expel large amounts of magic power.

'Ugh, I feel so sleepy...I might faint. But it hasn't ended.'

He wanted to end everything quickly, but in his current condition, it was something he couldn't do. The same for Kismet, who has a lot of injuries from fighting the Tower Master.

Their fight became a stalemate because both sides couldn't do anything to the other side. But the Tower Master had a better chance because he could regenerate his body, although it was at a slower pace than his usual regeneration ability. Because not all of Ludger's attacks contained the power of fate that Kismet put into him. That's why the parts where it didn't blow by the fate power are still able to regenerate.

"...Damn..." Ludger said with a frustrated voice.

In such dangerous situation, Ludger suddenly feel a great life threatening power coming from above.

Crack!

Bang!

*Glass Shattered Sound*

Although the Arena is surrounded by protective barriers, when it touches the barriers, those barriers break as if it was made from fragile glass.

Something fallen from above and lending gently near the Tower Master's sides.

Thump.

The pitch black magic power acts like a curtain hidden from the black robe group members that just arrived at the Arena.

Both Ludger and Kismet could feel their desperate situation. They are not in a condition to fight both of the black robe group members right now, especially because one of them is in full power. Besides, they don't even know what kind of power the new person's has.

From their experience, the black robe group members have different abilities for each of their members. They are able to guess it only when they fight or see their power. And every single members had their own cheat-like ability. It was highly possible for the new person from the black robe group for having such overpowered ability too.

Unconsciously, both Ludger and Kismet could feel the cold sweat that starting to dripping from their forehead. It was a heavy and dense ominous magic power they had ever feel.

Different from the normal magic power which didn't have any mass, the magic power of the new person from the black robe group is able to get a physical appearance.

It mean that the new person from the black robe group have large amount of condensed magic power that it started to have a physical appearance. And it was not something that anyone would able to use even if they understand the theory about it.

Even Ludger have hard time to do it because it is really difficult (or almost impossible) for normal people with normal magic power to condensed their magic power. That's why, Ludger feel terrified because of the arrival of the new person from the black robe group.

But they still have to fight that person if they want to survive. The only problem is how they will be able to do it.

Currently, both of them are exhausted and the new person from the black robe group still have an incredible amount of magic power. The Magic Tower Master also slowly regenerating his wounds and if they stayed longer to fight them, they would be in trouble or maybe one of them might die.

The time feels extremely slow as the curtain-like magic power started to fade and show the person who created it. It shows a human-like silhouette as the dense magic power starts to return to its original appearance and become a mist-like substance.

"Kahaha..., I know you will save me! Now, we need to take that boy with us and go to where our Lord is waiting for us." The Tower Master smirked as he saw the person who came to save him.

"..." A silent response comes from that person as if ignoring the Tower Master.

Ludger and Kismet couldn't see anything because the mist-like magic power still hid that person's face but they knew the new person was a woman from the body shape they able to see.

"What do you mean you can't do it? Huh!?!! It's dangerous?! Even hundreds of those thrash coming here, we just need to kill them all!" The Tower Master angrily answers the black robe woman who comes to save him.

As the mist-like magic power started to fade as they're talking, they can gradually see the face that hidden by it.

"!!!" Both Ludger and Kismet couldn't hide their shocked.

"Huh?!! Isn't she...!" The first one who able to the magic power that hid her face disappeared, Ludger was surprised by her appearance.

It was not because she had a stunning appearance or a face that could surprise the person who saw it but because she looked exactly like the person they knew. And it was really unexpected because Ludger had met her a few times before.

"How could...You...Is all of the Magic Tower members related to the black robe group?" Kismet also feels shocked because it shows the deep relationship between the Magic Tower and the black robe group.

They couldn't believe as they saw the familiar cold expression as if being freeze by the cold aura that uniquely own by her in the new black robe member that just arrived.

Right, it was the face of the famous Vice Tower Master of the Magic Tower, Keres.

Even without fighting, they knew it was quite a doom-like situation. Keres fight with Elviira before are the proof. But after using such amount of magic power, now she still able to do this kind of thing.

'Is this my end?' Ludger thought as he couldn't imagine to be able to get out from the current predicament safely.
