You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

A short while later, Lotte heard footsteps outside the room; the guards had arrived.

The dragon's life force rapidly diminished, and the magic circle beneath its feet shrank, eventually remaining only at Isolde's feet.

The dragon can't hold on any longer!

With pursuers closing in, Isolde felt she had absorbed enough, so she slowly closed the magic circle.

As the magic circle gradually closed, the [Origin Deduction] on Lotte's panel also slowly came to a stop!

"and many more!"

Lotte, who had broken free of the magic circle, quickly stopped Isolde, "The magic circle can still last a while, don't turn it off!"

"The enemy has arrived."

Lotte absolutely wouldn't allow Isolde to stop and started trying to persuade her in the opposite direction.

Lotte said seriously, "Every second you absorb now will increase your strength significantly. Do you really want to give up?!"

Isolde realized what Lotte was about to do again, and she coldly refused: "Obey orders."

"Lord Isolde, but this is the optimal solution."

"I told you, you have to obey orders."

Are you actually worried about me?

Isolde was taken aback; she hadn't expected Lotte to say that.

Lotte continued, "Lord Isolde, as a knight, isn't it my duty to create opportunities for you? At this moment, letting me help you hold off the enemy is what I think Isolde should be doing, isn't it?"

"Lord Isolde, do not let your emotions cloud your judgment."

Isolde's mouth was slightly open, her words stuck in her throat, and for a moment she couldn't say anything.

She took several deep breaths, trying to explain herself, but she couldn't refute it.

Because Lott is right.

If it weren't for the fact that Isolde had deduced the several cycles of the world, she wouldn't have stopped Lot.

Isolde lowered her head and slowly closed her eyes.

What am I doing...?

"Go."

"okay."

The sound of armor clanking could be heard outside the door. Lotte drew his sword from his waist and lay in ambush by the wall near the door.

The Imperial Guards were the first to rush into the room, but Lotte, who was lying in ambush at the door, rushed out and killed the guards at the door with two sword strokes.

Loth didn't want to reveal that he knew Valgard's swordsmanship, so he rushed out of the room so that Isolde couldn't see him.

The sounds of swords clashing grew increasingly intense, accompanied by screams and wails.

Isolde forced herself to calm down and focus all her attention on the magic circle ritual.

As Isolde's strength continued to grow, she absorbed the dragon's life force at an increasingly faster rate, with her efficiency multiplying, and the roar of the dragon above grew louder and louder.

More than half of the life crystals have not yet been digested. If Isolde stops now, she will waste this enormous life force that is enough to completely transform her.

She must seize this last moment to absorb as much of the dragon's life force as possible to narrow the gap between them.

"hurry up……"

She kept her eyes tightly closed, and sweat dripped down her face.

"Faster..."

The sounds of fighting in the corridor grew increasingly intense, and Isolde felt her heart pounding faster than she had ever felt before.

Don't let emotions cloud your judgment.

Isolde repeatedly reminded herself that Loth was merely a figure who deduced the world, and even if he died, it wouldn't matter, as he could still be resurrected in the future.

The sounds outside the door suddenly subsided, the sounds of battle ceased, and the world fell into an eerie silence.

She forced herself not to think about Lott, or even to listen to anything from the outside world.

The magic circle beneath Isolde's feet vanished completely, and the blood moon above Orantis began to return to its original shape.

The giant dragon that had been standing above the castle crashed to the ground, struggling to stay afloat, its former majesty completely gone.

The people of Orlandis also took to the streets at this moment, unaware of what had happened, much less that they had been saved by Isolde.

Underground, a pair of icy blue eyes suddenly lit up in the dark room.

Isolde absorbed the life force of Grin and others, the life essence stored by the Empire for more than ten years, and also the massive life force of a legendary dragon.

In just one night, Isolde became an elite of the [Cataclysmic] class.

She drew her sword and ran quickly toward the door, her white hair billowing wildly in the air with each step.

Will I be able to make it?

She had just run to the door, and before she could even see the battle unfolding in the corridor, a familiar figure flew past her.

"Bang!"

The dull thud sent shivers down Isolde's spine.

Isolde froze, her eyes wide, her mind going blank for a moment.

She turned her head slowly and stiffly.

In the corner to the left, Lot lay sprawled amidst rubble and corpses. A gruesome deep gash marred his armor, blood gushing from his body.

It's always like this.

Two voices came from the corridor:

"What a piece of trash! Try getting up again if you dare! Didn't you say I was raising goblins?"

"Hey, Uchi, stop playing around. His Majesty is waiting for us to rescue him."

"You go first, I'll talk to him later..."

Uchi’s voice stopped abruptly, and his blood seemed to freeze instantly.

Isolde slowly emerged from the shadows of the corridor, sword in hand.

Her white hair remained perfectly still, and her face was extremely gloomy.

There was no anger in his icy blue eyes, only pure emptiness, so indifferent that it didn't seem like he was looking at a person.

"What's Isolde doing here... Grin didn't say anything..."

Chapter 32 The World Sage and the Dragon Slayer

Isolde's figure swayed slightly, and the next second she teleported in front of Uchi. Uchi, who was also a [Cataclysmic], had no time to react.

The red-haired man immediately rushed over to protect Uchi, but he couldn't see the sword in Isolde's hand at all. He only saw two flashes of white light before the red-haired man was knocked against the wall.

"Dangdang!"

The red-haired man's sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound, causing the guards behind him to shrink back and slowly retreat.

Now, only Uchi stands before Isolde.

“I, Isolde... I didn’t know you were here, I... I didn’t intend to hurt you.”

Isolde listened quietly to Uchi's explanation with a cold expression.

Uchi quickly said, "You see, I didn't hurt you, right? I just received His Majesty's order to request a request."

Isolde began, “You have killed Lot once again.”

"Again? Who is Lott?"

Uchi got no answers.

His head fell and rolled to Lotte's feet, and his body followed, kneeling on the ground.

Uchi couldn't understand why, despite having many magical items on him, he was still beheaded by Isolde with a single sword strike.

The red-haired man standing nearby saw clearly that Isolde had swung her sword twelve times in a short span of time, which was probably some kind of sword technique she used.

Isolde had her back to Lotte, intending to deal with the redhead first, but she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

"That's really... scary."

The golden talent [I'm still alive] activated, and Lotte sat up, clutching the wound on his chest; he hadn't died.

He couldn't help but glance at Uchi's head, but still felt uncomfortable, so he quickly looked away.

A warm breath gently landed on Lot's face, and when he looked up, he found Isolde's face suddenly appearing in front of him.

Lotte was startled, but was calmed down by Isolde's breathtakingly beautiful eyes.

The two were so close that Lotte was finally able to remember the color of Isolde's eyes.

"Lotte, are you still alive?"

What kind of question is this?
