Chapter 207
Kaiden and Jenas continued to exchange control of the body, rolling across the floor as electrified spikes surged toward his form.
The longer their battle raged, the more violent the tremors that shook the ground became.
The fractured Alea Island, now broken into countless pieces, floated upon the Sea like scattered buoys—and at this rate of violent shaking, it seemed destined to sink beneath the waves at any moment.
If that happened, my plan could unravel. I would lose all ability to anticipate Jenas’s movements.
My palms grew slick with sweat as tension coiled through me.
I had to pull the Trigger the instant Kaiden seized control of the body and severed the soul-binding contract. But could I truly capture that fleeting moment with precision?
“Margaret, do you think you can manage this?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had heard my plan beforehand, asked from beside me with a voice thick with concern. Yet I could not answer him—my entire being was consumed by concentration.
My hands trembled violently. The tension coursed through me, causing my fingers to vibrate uncontrollably.
‘At this rate, I might fail the Aiming.’
If I failed, Jenas might reclaim Kaiden’s body once more!
As I bit down on my lower lip and strained to steady my hands, a large palm settled over my right hand. A firm chest pressed against my back.
“I’ll help you.”
Enoch cradled my waist with one hand while wrapping his other hand around mine—the one gripping the Flare—holding me steady with unwavering support.
“Just focus.”
I nodded silently and aimed the Flare toward the direction from which Smoke billowed.
Kaiden’s silhouette flickered briefly through the haze, but it remained indistinct. I narrowed my eyes, tracking his agile movements with meticulous precision.
Though my target was Jenas’s soul, the Mana Bullet would inevitably pierce through Kaiden’s body as well—and he would not escape the pain.
Therefore, I had to fire with absolute cleanness, ending this in a single, decisive shot.
As I poured every ounce of my concentration into this moment, Eun-ji—who had been nestled in Yuanna Lucy’s arms—suddenly spoke to me.
“Big sister! Eun-ji wants to help big sister too!”
At Eun-ji’s bright, innocent voice, my tension momentarily dissolved. In that instant, Enoch’s hand—which had been resting over mine—pressed down with renewed strength.
I glanced back at Eun-ji, a thought occurring to me.
“Eun-ji, you wait until the blue-haired man arrives. He’s going to bring you an ugly Stone, remember? Once you eat that, you’ll feel stronger, won’t you?”
“Yes!”
Eun-ji clenched both fists and nodded eagerly.
“And after you eat it, if that bad man shows up again, what did I tell you to do?”
“Eat the bad man!”
I was taken aback by Eun-ji’s innocent answer.
“I didn’t say eat—I said eliminate him.”
“That’s the same as eating!”
Eun-ji declared this with absolute certainty.
“That’s a bit cruel. Besides, eating something like that would give you a stomachache.”
I paused briefly before continuing.
“Just crush him underfoot or tear him apart instead. As long as you stop his breathing.”
“…Now see here, Lady Flone, don’t you think that’s even more cruel?”
The Prince of Asdal, who had been quietly listening to our exchange, pointed this out. But we could not continue our conversation.
Rumble, crash—!
Just as it had been during my birthday celebration last night, an anomaly was unfolding across the Sky.
Dozens of lightning bolts fractured the sky, and I could see a long horizontal line being drawn across it. The aura was decidedly ominous.
I instinctively recognized it as the dimensional rift I’d only heard about. The moment the rift became visible, my head throbbed as though it might shatter.
It was as if my soul reacted to the rift itself. As though my very existence were a foreign object lodged in this world.
“What should we do about this?”
As the battle dragged on, Yuanna turned to me with a bewildered expression. It was the Prince of Asdal who answered instead.
“Saint, you should prepare to use your purification power to seal the dimensional rift. The moment we eliminate Jenas, we close it.”
Because I had decided to use Magic Bullets to separate Jenas from Kaiden’s body, I still couldn’t cross dimensions.
Which meant sealing the rift would only be possible after this was finished.
“Understood.”
Yuanna exhaled sharply and nodded. As I kept my gaze on her, Enoch’s voice reached my ears once more.
“Margaret, focus.”
I nodded and redirected my concentration toward the direction where smoke was billowing.
The battle showed no signs of ending, and Kaiden’s and Jenas’s voices continued to alternate. In their struggle for dominance over a single body, consuming Mana with each exchange, the decline in mobility became visibly apparent. Their movements had grown noticeably slower than before.
“Haa. I can’t… Ugh…”
And with what sounded like Kaiden’s voice,
The body was dragged violently across the Dirt Ground in a straight line. Dust scattered in clouds.
Even the thunder fell silent. A sharp tension gave way to an eerie stillness.
We all held our breath, waiting for Kaiden—or rather, the Man—to move.
Rustle.
After a long moment, the Man pushed himself up.
His face was a wreck. Pale cheeks, forehead, and bridge of nose were smeared haphazardly with dust, smoke stains, and blood.
He rose from the ground with visible effort, groaning. His Mage Robe was nowhere to be seen. As he brushed off his clothes, he muttered to himself.
“Haa… haa… A thousand years. This unpleasant sensation of power beyond Control.”
The impact struck me speechless, my mouth falling open. My thoughts froze. A wave of profound despair crashed over me.
I didn’t want to believe it. It was impossible. Jenas.
“I accumulated Magic Power for a thousand years, and I can’t even use it to suppress a single brat. Haa…”
Jenas continued muttering irritably.
“Damn it.”
Yuanna must have realized it too, as I heard her curse under her breath from beside me. Only then did Jenas lift his head.
“What is that?”
Scanning his surroundings, Jenas spotted Eun-ji cradled in Yuanna’s arms and furrowed his brow. He had only just noticed that Eun-ji had evolved.
Boom!
At that moment, the distant Door suddenly burst open with tremendous force. The timing was absolutely terrible.
Through the open Door emerged a Man with Water-colored Hair, scratching his head.
“I never thought I’d return to this place on my own two feet…”
Behind him, what appeared to be reinforcements—a group of Mages—came pouring out all at once. They all locked eyes with us and froze in shock.
Whether from the internal conflict that had weakened his body considerably, Jenas bent at the waist, breathing heavily as he regarded them.
“Ha. What is this now?”
In that moment, the Prince of Asdal shouted toward me.
In that moment, the Prince of Asdal shouted toward me.
“Lady Flone, shoot! Just kill him!”
Jenas’s gaze finally turned toward me.
I still had the Flare’s Gun Barrel trained on him, and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid was holding me firmly in place.
“I can’t. Kaiden will die too!”
When Kaiden had possessed his body, my goal was to strike only at Jenas’s soul.
If I fired Mana while Jenas occupied Kaiden’s body, I couldn’t guarantee what would happen to Kaiden trapped inside.
I wasn’t skilled enough with Mana to do anything but replicate the method I’d used against the Pope.
What if I used a different approach than the one I’d prepared and Kaiden got hurt?
“There’s no other way!”
Prince of Asdal shouted in frustration and anger.
Rationally, I knew he was right. If Jenas had completely suppressed Kaiden, I had to kill him.
Only then would Yuanna Lucy be able to use her purification power without hesitation to seal the dimensional rift.
“Ah, this is quite an entertaining situation.”
Jenas slowly turned his body toward me. As he did, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had been holding my hand, slowly released it.
“Don’t stray from my side. It’s dangerous.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid gave me that warning before drawing his Sword. I watched as a meteor-like light leaked from Jenas’s hand, rotating around his palm.
Soon a sphere of light struck Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid directly. He raised his Sword to block the attack.
The Mages who had come with Archbishop Luzef immediately drew Magic Circles and cast defensive and offensive Magic. But even as Jenas attacked Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, he extended his hand toward me and erected a Barrier around Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
The Mages, Archbishop Luzef, Yuanna Lucy, and Prince of Asdal were now struggling to break through that Barrier.
When Jenas stomped his foot, the earth seemed to shake, and then it began to crack with a loud sound from that spot.
This time, the ground where Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid stood and the ground where I and Jenas stood began to separate.
“Damn it! Margaret!”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who was drifting away, tried to rush toward me in surprise, but it seemed impossible because Jenas, skilled in long-range attacks, continued to assault him.
Even so, Jenas still had energy to spare. He leaped from his spot and closed the distance to me in an instant.
I stood tense, keeping the Gun Barrel trained on him.
“Are you going to shoot me?”
Not yet. I believed Kaiden would come back.
Jenas slowly approached me. As he drew near, the Mana spreading from his hand extended toward Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid approaching from behind me.
Jenas’s eyes were bloodshot. One eye was even reddened as if the blood vessels had burst.
It seemed he was using excessive force. And the more he used Mana powered by Magic Stones, the more severe the abnormal phenomena in the Sky became. Along with it, the mounting headache made me furrow the space between my eyebrows.
Jenas approached me and caressed my Cheek. His pupils glinted dangerously. I raised the Gun Barrel and aimed it at his jaw.
“Get out of Kaiden’s body right now. Please.”
“You hurt my feelings saying that. Stop worrying about my descendant. From now on, you have to stay by my side until you die.”
Despite saying something horrifying, Jenas let out a dry laugh without a care.
Behind him, I could see Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid drawing closer step by step, enduring Jenas’s attacks.
“Insane bastard.”
I gritted my teeth and glared at him. My finger on the Trigger grew increasingly tense.
I had to kill him. I had to. But I couldn’t abandon the hope that Kaiden would wake up.
My finger trembled more and more, and Jenas’s hand gripping my jaw continued to tighten.
But suddenly, Jenas was sent flying as if struck by something. It was as if someone had kicked him away.
Crash—
Dust billowed up around Jenas as he was dragged roughly across the Dirt Ground. Seeing this, Enoch pulled me into his embrace and shielded me behind his back.
“Did you do that?”
“No.”
Enoch shook his head at my question. Then who had attacked Jenas?
At the same moment, the Barrier Jenas had erected vanished, and I saw people rushing toward me.
Shortly after, through the settling dust, I glimpsed the form of a man lying on the ground. He slowly pushed himself up into a sitting position, then exhaled and ran his fingers through his hair.
Then his lips parted.
“Hey.”
A familiar voice.
“I.”
A low murmur cutting through the tense silence.
“Said I wouldn’t let anyone touch Margaret, you bastard.”
Hearing that voice, I tightened my grip on the Flare in my hand. My lips trembled uncontrollably.
Kaiden had returned.
