Nehercato: "I'd like to know more about your arrangements."

"If I'm kept in the dark, I might do something to ruin your plans later."

"What are your plans now that the City of Peacocks has suffered this disaster?"

Lu Cang nodded: "I was originally planning to tell you these things too."

"If they hadn't destroyed the Peacock City."

"They will meet Izparut directly and then challenge him."

"After losing, these Grand Races will realize Izparut's strength, put away their arrogance, and prioritize the mission."

"The Gate to Chaos on the Third Level."

Neherkato: "And Izparut won't stop them."

“Yes, Izparut has no bias.”

"Moreover, those Grand rank items are enough to be used as bargaining chips in a trade with Izparut."

Lu Cang and Izparut can indeed be considered friends.

However, if these Grand Lords do not attack Peacock Castle, they are not enemies with Izparut.

Izparut is a very principled mage.

It will not interfere in the disputes between people, so it will not interfere in the conflicts between Lu Cang and these crowned beings.

Instead, it's about colleagues.

Because the era in which Lu Cang lived had no connection with Izparut himself.

Moreover, both sides have their own version of events.

There is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil.

Izparut will not side with Lu Cang just because he knew Lu Cang first.

Unless, of course, they intend to kill Lu Cang.

Izparut will not allow such a thing to happen.

However, if the other party's request is merely to pass through the Gate of Chaos, Izparut will not stop them.

"So, the best way is..."

"Make them the villains."

“Once they destroy Peacock City first, Izparut will become their complete enemy.”

"In this way, they were nipped in the bud."

"I don't need to bother dealing with these unkillable Grand Orders."

Nehercato: "You're as cunning as ever."

Even a powerful figure like Izparut was manipulated.

Isn't Izparut smart?

That was absolute intelligence, the pinnacle of a mage, an absolutely powerful level of comprehension.

Even someone as intelligent as him can be outsmarted.

-----------------

Luluwei's longbow was fully drawn, but she had no chance to shoot.

"If you keep doing this, I won't have a chance to make a move."

Luluwei originally wanted to support Izparut.

But the results showed otherwise.

There was absolutely no need for me to provide support.

Izparut: "I have personal grudges against them."

"If I release water here, I will be letting down many people."

Luluwei didn't shoot because she wasn't yet clear on the mechanics of these Grand Orders.

It keeps coming back to life.

Izparut has been trying to kill them but can't seem to do anything; simply eliminating them doesn't seem to change the course of the battle.

But... that would make me seem superfluous.

"However, now it's your turn."

"ha?"

Swish swish swish swish!

As Izparut finished speaking, those figures of Izparut from the past vanished without a trace.

Only the original figure, wielding the Black Star Ring Staff, remained.

And the real person closed their eyes.

"Hello!"

Are you also imitating Luo Heng's fighting and sleeping habits?

It's true what they say, you become like the company you keep!

Nuo: "It's exhausted! Our chance has come!"

Even the strongest mage can wear it down!

In an instant!

Once again, the monstrous creature approached Izparut, marking its umpteenth time doing so.

I tried to get close countless times, but I never managed to touch it!

This time, Izparut did not use any magic to stop it.

puff!

But just when it was about to succeed.

A burst of bright red energy erupted!

boom!

Nuo crossed his arms!

But the blow still pierced through its flesh and blood, completely disintegrating its body.

Lulu frowned.

This guy... has gotten so much fatter.

It almost blocked my arrow.

【Ultimate Magic Impact】

Akatsuki's magical energy surged towards Izupart!

Luluwei drew the bow to its maximum extent!

"Don't think I'm weaker than this guy."

Bang!

The crimson arrow shot upwards against the magical impact, pushing back against it!

Bright red lines gradually appeared on Luluwei's cheeks.

Her heart pounded like a war drum.

It sounded like a ferocious beast roaring.

Nuo rushed to Luluwei again.

"Damn it! I was just about to beat him up! And you, you stinking old hag, are here to mess things up again!"

But this time, Luluwei didn't use a sickle. Instead, she fired the arrow repeatedly right in his face!

Depend on!

Boom! Boom boom boom boom!

Arrows rained down like fireworks, exploding continuously on Nuo's face.

It's not just that Nuo has become stronger.

Lulu has also become stronger; Lulu attacks faster and deals more damage!

It's much stronger than before!

[Bloodline Activation - Hunting Mark]

Every monster Lulu has hunted grants her abilities, large or small; the more powerful the monster, the stronger the abilities Lulu receives from it.

However, these abilities are under normal circumstances.

It's not fully open.

Just like the fearless and earnest state of a brave person.

These are all skills that allow for a burst of power within a short period of time.

However, this short burst of power was enough for Luluwei to deal with all three Grand Ranks at the same time.

As Ao reassembled his body, he exclaimed, "Damn it, this isn't what I expected!"

"Why can't we take them down? They were evenly matched back in the Mirror Realm."

Bang!

But he didn't even have time to wonder.

-----------------

【Hunting Focus】

[Effect: Gradually gain an increase in all attributes as the duration of combat, and significantly enhance combat intuition.]

-----------------

The ability to enhance intuition is limited.

Intuition is far beyond perception.

It can identify things that are not visible under normal circumstances; in normal times, it relies on perception, and in times of crisis, it relies on wisdom.

In the fantasy world, countless heroes rely on their intuition when they escape from dire straits.

Bang!

This time, Nuo had not yet fully recovered his body.

A streak of arrow light, coming straight at them, burst forth!

"I have to say, you guys are really not very durable."

Is she smiling?

Xiao could no longer see Luluwei's movements clearly; he could only see red flashing at an extremely fast speed.

Then an endless rain of arrows fell.

I could vaguely see the pleasure on her lips.

But her senses couldn't choose her.

Magic could not lock her presence.

yes……

There seems to be a rumor that Luluwei is actually an extreme warmonger.

"Is it because they can't die anyway, so they gave up on defense?"

"But if you keep dying."

"It seems like there's no way to accomplish anything."

Snap!

In an instant, countless points in space swirled around a rain of arrows in all directions—these were red arrows!

The arrows came like locusts, sweeping in like a nebula!

Xiao raised his staff.

Using precognitive magic, they pinpointed a location where Luluvi would soon appear.

It was just about to use an unavoidable [spell magic].

But the next moment.

But the crisis came from behind.

wrong……

This isn't the place she should be.

It's intuition!

Luluwei realized the danger and changed her course of action.

They were so close.

She's clearly an archer...

Bang!

Before he could think any further, Xiao had already completely exploded.

Izparut stood silently, holding his staff.

Ping looked at the scene before him.

Luluwei's current state not only enhances her combat power.

This state has another drawback: once Luluwei enters this state, she becomes very crazy and may not stop.

Izparut raised the Black Star Ring Staff towards the sky.

"Luluwei, that's enough."

Luluwei's voice drifted on the wind: "What's enough?"

"I haven't had enough fun yet. These enemies that I can't kill are really interesting!"

Izparut sighed softly.

"Do as you please, but I'm ending this fight."

In that instant.

Izuparut's aura surged!

An absolutely unparalleled sense of oppression arrived in an instant!

Xiao saw this scene.

Memories resurfaced in my mind.

【Xiao... what did your master say?】

My master said my future is bleak; even if I obtain the magical godhood of the Fourth Age, I have no future.

Because of Izparut's existence at the level of the Magic God, there is a mountain that no magician can overcome.

My master also said that I would have difficulty even defeating Shanna, who is of the same level.

[Haha, my master even said I might not be able to beat Ruga, but now I can beat Kairu's phantom.]

[The illusion's strength is far from the real power.]

Yes, that's true, but I also started out completely outmatched, and gradually found a way to win.

Those so-called true gods are nothing more than ordinary races, while we are born with far greater advantages than them.

If we work as hard as they do, we can definitely surpass them.

"If you just find a chance to beat Izparut down, you'll prove yourself."

...

Bringing us back to reality from our memories.

Xiao gazed at Izparut's imposing figure, holding the Black Star Ring Staff aloft, and at Luluvi, who was hidden in the endless rain of crimson arrows and could not be caught.

fundamental……

We can't beat them.

Didn't they say that... they were already able to rival the true god in his youth?

But why is the gap still so large?

Izparut raised his Black Star Ring Staff horizontally, pointing it at Akatsuki, but his eyes were fixed on nothingness.

He uttered the name of the only spell used in this battle.

"Blank fault, erasure of space and time."

-----------------

In future updates, there might be days with only 2000 entries, but in that case, we will make up for it with 6000 entries the next day.

This way, there's less pressure and more flexibility.

This chapter was written yesterday; it's been a long time coming.

My nose suddenly got stuffy early this morning, and I woke up with a fever, so I rested for a long time before finally posting this chapter.

I estimate today's update will be another 2000.

Then I might recover from my illness tomorrow and make up the 6000.

There are indeed many things in the Illusionary Ruins; the second level alone is comparable to the chapters on the extremes of life, death, creation, and destruction.

All I can say is that what Naraku is doing is grand and ambitious; I cannot reveal any other details.
