491: Isurna's Dominant Will Comes Again

Chapter 490: Isurna's Sovereign Will Descends Again

"Dick, what's wrong? Why do you look... like you've been scared silly?"

Mina noticed Dick's abnormality immediately, stepped forward with concern, and smoothed his sweat-soaked bangs.

Isurna's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Seeing this, she also moved closer, reaching out to help wipe away the sweat.

As Isurna's hand approached, Dick once again felt the pressure from just now, an unspeakable terror.

Although it was fleeting, under the influence of his survival instinct, Dick reacted subconsciously.

Whoosh!

Dick's figure flashed, instantly teleporting a hundred meters into the air outside the military tent. In one hand, he held the sheathless sword, and in the other, he supported a giant magic orb.

The Kun-style Mobile Armor was half a beat slower, only now emerging from the rune at his waist and rapidly covering Dick's body.

Surging sword energy surged outwards, the magic orb that blotted out the sky and moon was still expanding, and Dick gasped for air, looking down at the military tent below in terror.

It descended!

It was the Sovereign Will descending!

Although Dick had previously come into contact with the Sovereign Will of Apricot Lilli's forty-eighth generation and could be considered experienced, he shouldn't have been so flustered.

But the difference in the pressure of the Sovereign Will between Isurna and Apricot Lilli was like the bright moon compared to a firefly, not even on the same dimension.

Dick even felt like he had just died, crushed alive by the pressure. It was a despair he had never experienced before.

Woo—

The alarm blared loudly in the military camp, sharp and piercing. This was the highest level enemy attack alarm.

Clearly, Dick alone was identified by the military camp's detection array as a strategic weapon, capable of causing devastating damage to the camp.

Just a few seconds later, nearly a hundred high-ranking military officers surrounded Dick. Their magic professions were all around level 70.

"Immediately put down your weapons and dispel all magic, or you will be killed without mercy!"

An old man with a full beard warned him. There were several flowers on his shoulder, indicating a very high military rank.

However, Dick cared more about his strength.

"Name": Martin Louis.

"Race": Human, Male.

"Age": 72 years old.

"Profession": Swordsman, Level 81.

...

47. Strong intoxication, from the brainstem and cerebellum.

48. Strong urge to urinate, from the bladder.

...

"Emotions": Manic restlessness, extreme anger.

"General Martin, please put your sword away first..."

Isurna cast flight magic, hastily ascended, and blocked the way between Martin and Dick.

Currently, this military camp located on the border of Superville is managed by Martin. He is known for his bad temper and has long been unhappy with Dick.

Because among the thousands of soldiers Dick had disciplined in the mess hall before, there were two of Martin's grandsons and three of his nephews.

If it weren't for Luca III's reputation, Martin would have already gotten rid of Dick.

"Hmph, I'll count to three. If this kid still..."

"It's all a misunderstanding, esteemed General Martin!"

Before Martin could finish speaking, Dick had already dispelled the magic orb, returned the sheathless sword to his waist, and the Kun-style Mobile Armor was nowhere to be seen.

When it comes to the will to survive, Dick is stronger than anyone.

Are you kidding? Look at Martin's status information, he's drunk and furious. Who knows, he might just impulsively kill me.

And most importantly, Martin possesses the perfected level of "Severing Iai", coupled with the quasi-God-rank magic sword at his waist...

If they really started fighting, Dick estimated that before he could even react, [Life-Swapping Coin] would have already been triggered.

"Misunderstanding?"

Martin narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, saying, "That magic orb you were holding just now, if it were to fall, let alone this military camp, even the nearby Manbo City would be affected!"

"Please listen to my explanation..."

"Seize him!"

Martin waved his hand directly. The two officers beside him immediately stepped forward, clamping onto Dick from the left and right with rough movements, the sound of dislocating joints 'clicking' loudly.

He was just worried about not having a reason to deal with Dick, but he didn't expect him to be so foolish as to deliver himself right to his doorstep.

"General Martin, Dick also has official duties to apprehend the Divine Machine Witch, which were personally granted by His Majesty..."

"Deputy Leader Grudia is a talent as renowned as you, deeply loved and trusted by His Majesty. I am willing to believe he is benevolent."

"But you must know, this is a military camp," Martin glanced at Isurna and said indifferently, "I must be responsible for the soldiers under my command. Before the misunderstanding is cleared up, he must be locked in the military prison..."

"To be interrogated by me personally!"

As he said this, Martin's eyes were chilling, and Isurna immediately knew what he intended to do.

Although as long as Luca III strongly protected him, Dick would definitely be fine and would likely be released without charge tomorrow morning.

But tonight... Dick would probably suffer greatly!

On the other side, at the entrance of an indoor training ground, Alice watched the changes high in the sky from afar, her expression complex.

"What exactly happened over there? How could Dick..."

[Another Sovereign Will has descended.]

Hearing this, Alice was pensive. She knew that the voice inside her head also claimed to be a Lord.

"I wanted to ask before, what kind of existence is a Lord exactly?"

[Heh, it's a supreme existence you cannot imagine. The so-called God of Rules is nothing more than an ant before a Lord!]

Listening to the arrogant answer in her mind, Alice pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then why don't you descend directly?"

This was clearly strange. If a Lord was truly that powerful, couldn't he just directly possess her?

However, the voice in her mind that called itself a Lord could only use words to tempt her and couldn't do anything more.

The strong never waste words on the weak, nor do they ask for the weak's consent; they simply do as they please.

[...]

When Alice asked this, the voice in her mind fell silent, which was rare, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment.

[Cough cough, this Lord has his own considerations!]

"Could it be because Lords also have strengths and weaknesses, and you belong to the weaker tier, unable to descend..."

[I am one with you. Insulting me is also insulting yourself!]

"Then why..."

[Because the passage to this space-time plane is blocked by someone. Not just me, but all Lords cannot descend in their true form... Hmph, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!]
