……
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Lord Balyeleta."
In the Creative Department office of the Magic Association, Webber smiled as he looked at the pale-faced elderly woman in front of him and spoke to her in a seemingly polite manner.
Qin Chuan stood beside Waver, listlessly playing with the sand in his hand—the sand was not ordinary matter, but the magical costume of the Creation Department's monarch, Inolei Baruyeleta Atolohom.
Lord Balereta's magical abilities are very strong. After all, she is Aozaki Touko's teacher. Her magic, which she performs using sand, is something that even Aozaki Touko would be afraid of.
But just now, when facing Qin Chuan, Monarch Baluyeleta released a large amount of sand, trying to draw him as a sand painting—but Qin Chuan casually grabbed the sand and forced it to condense into a sand ball.
That invisible power was “psychic power” obtained from Goto Ichiri’s Stand – although this power was not as simple as psychic power in essence, it could still be used as pure psychic power.
With the amplification of Qin Chuan's mental power, terrifying psychic power directly enveloped the sand, kneading the magical sand into a ball, which he simply held in his hand.
Afterwards, Qin Chuan instantly released "Black Bird Lover," which infiltrated the ears of the Baruyeleta Monarch, making her understand her situation.
Therefore, the current monarch of Balyeleta could only reluctantly cooperate with Waver, complete the oath of allegiance to Qin Chuan, and become Qin Chuan's subordinate with a wry smile.
There was nothing he could do. In Qin Chuan's eyes, her attacks were as powerless as a child's. In addition, his brain had been invaded by her strange "magic," so he couldn't disobey her now.
If it were her disciple, Aozaki Touko, perhaps there would be a way to break free from Qin Chuan's control.
Because Aozaki Touko is a puppeteer, she can even create "dolls" that are completely identical to the human body. By "dying," she can transfer all her abilities to the body of another "doll," achieving a body-swapping technique.
If she were to encounter Qin Chuan's "Blackbird Lover," perhaps she could escape the threat Qin Chuan posed to her brain by switching bodies.
However, although Lord Baleretta was Aozaki Touko's teacher, he did not possess Aozaki Touko's god-like puppetry skills. If his mind was controlled, then he was truly controlled.
“I never imagined we would become colleagues in this way, Lord El-Melloi.”
After realizing his predicament, Lord Balyeleta looked at Waver with a somewhat strange expression.
Although Lord Baljereta is one of the three noble families, he actually thinks highly of Waver and has previously considered trying to win Waver over.
However, unexpectedly, before she could successfully win over Webber, she found herself becoming Webber's colleague in this unforeseen way.
"Actually, there's no need to worry so much."
Seeing the worry on Lord Balyeleta's face, Waver smiled slightly.
"In fact, soon all the monarchs of the clock tower will become one group."
"what?"
Upon hearing Waver's words, Monarch Balyeleta's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Chuan.
"In fact, before we approached you, we had already visited other monarchs, and now almost all of them have become Mr. Qin Chuan's subordinates."
A faint smile appeared on Weber's gaunt face, but it would probably have seemed quite eerie to other monarchs.
"Now only Lord Barthemello and Lord Gaius remain... and we are about to head to Lord Barthemello's side."
Although there are still two monarchs left, everyone in the Clock Tower knows that Gaius is actually completely under Barthez's control, so getting rid of Barthez is equivalent to getting rid of the remaining two.
When Lord Balyeleta heard that Waver and Qin Chuan were going to find Barthemello, his expression immediately changed.
"You...you're not even going to let Barthemello go? That guy is very dangerous!"
As a magical marshal, Barthemello may appear to be just a young woman, but her strength is not to be underestimated, so Lord Balyeleta is naturally somewhat worried.
She wasn't worried about whether Qin Chuan would be in danger, after all, she only submitted to Qin Chuan because of the threat "Blackbird Lover" posed to her brain, and she had no loyalty to Qin Chuan whatsoever.
However, if Qin Chuan fails, then his act of surrendering to Qin Chuan will inevitably be punished by Barthezmello afterward.
"Danger?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but scoff—magicians spend all day buried in research, but their vision is limited.
Waver, standing to the side, remained expressionless—Lord Balyeleta didn't know Qin Chuan's strength, but Waver certainly did.
Bartholomew's strength is indeed among the top of all magicians. She is even capable of hunting down the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, and she is probably even stronger than some Servants.
But Qin Chuan is no ordinary Servant. Does Barthelson want to pose a threat to Qin Chuan?
Webber wasn't looking down on the other person, but he still hoped Barthez would wake up from his dream.
From the very beginning, Waver never considered the possibility of failure regarding Qin Chuan's claim of controlling all the monarchs of the Mage's Association.
Chapter 618 Barthezello is also a woman
In the Clock Tower's office, Barthez was engrossed in reviewing intelligence reports sent by his subordinates.
The Barthero family has long been dedicated to fighting the Dead Apostles, and Barthero Loreleia, as the current head of the family, has naturally inherited this mission.
As the pinnacle of magicians in the Clock Tower, Barthezello has even successfully eliminated two of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, boasting an impressive record. In terms of sheer strength, he certainly has the ability to inspire fear.
Just as she was reviewing information about the Dead Apostles, the door to the room was opened from the outside—which made Barthemello frown.
She was a very conservative person who valued rules highly, so she never allowed anyone to push open the door and enter without her permission.
She looked up at the figure entering the room, and then froze.
The figure standing at the door was Qin Chuan—but Barthezello didn't recognize him; instead, he recognized Weber, who was standing behind Qin Chuan.
Although Barthezmello looks down on Waver for his inferior bloodline, Waver is, after all, currently acting as El-Melloi's monarch and is a force to be reckoned with within the Mage's Association.
But now Weber stood behind Qin Chuan like a servant, clearly regarding Qin Chuan as the key figure in the discussion, which immediately angered Barthezmello.
In Barthez's creed, lineage and status are unshakeable. How could El-Melloi, as a monarch, show such respect to a man of unknown origin, even to the point of groveling?
Just as she was about to reprimand him, a bad feeling came from in front of her.
Because of her long-term battles with the Dead Apostles, Barthemello is not just a scholar who only studies behind closed doors in the Clock Tower—her combat experience is extremely rich.
Even within the Mage's Association, her headquarters, Barthez remains vigilant, possessing numerous spells for alertness and defense.
Just a moment ago, she felt something unseen rush into her warning range, and her entire body was sending out warnings, urging her to take cover immediately.
Without a second thought, Barthemello leaped away from her original position with incredible speed, making it impossible to tell that she was still a young woman.
Swish-!
Just as she dodged, a faint whistling sound came from in front of her—Bartholomew, of course, couldn't see it; it was actually Qin Chuan's "Blackbird Lover" flying past her.
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking with interest at Barthelon, who had dodged "Blackbird Lover."
Although "Blackbird Lover" isn't fast, as a Stand, it's virtually invisible to most people in this world, even if Bartholomew is incredibly powerful.
Just now, Qin Chuan, led by Wei Bo, went to find the other monarchs and, without exception, unleashed "Black Bird: Lover" on them, and none of them dodged it, or even noticed it. (Afternoon)
Barthezello's ability to detect the anomaly from the barely perceptible sound of the "Blackbird Lover" and to react decisively demonstrates his considerable combat experience.
However, it could only barely dodge the speed of "Blackbird Lover," and in Qin Chuan's view, it still didn't pose a threat.
"...They're the enemy!" Shan
After dodging "Blackbird Lover," Barthez immediately made a judgment and, gritting his teeth, drew a weapon resembling a pointer from his waist. Liu
Qin Chuan sensed a large amount of magical power gathered on the whip; it must be some kind of magical artifact—and the nature of that magical power was clearly a "wind" similar to "cutting."
"Is Barthezello's element wind?" Jun
Because Bartholomew didn't have much screen time in *Tsukihime*, Qin Chuan remembered that she existed, but couldn't recall her specific character details.
However, judging from the magic gathered in Barthelon's whip, if she could unleash this move, she should be able to instantly sever the entire room, turning this enclosed room into an open-air balcony.
"The Mage's Association will be mine after all, so let's not cause too much damage here."
Even if Barthezmello unleashed his attacks and shredded this place into pieces, it wouldn't pose any threat to Qin Chuan.
But after all, as long as Qin Chuan controls Barthemello, he will control all the monarchs of the Mage's Association, effectively controlling the Mage's Association and turning it into his own power base.
Since that's the case, Qin Chuan didn't want this guy to cut a piece off the clock tower.
"Blackbird World!"
Qin Chuan activated the "World" ability, stopping time just before Bartholomew released his magic.
In an instant, Barthez, who was still angrily waving his whip, froze in place. The air stopped flowing, and the riotous "wind" stopped as if it were a sleeping child.
Walking up to Barthelo, Qin Chuan picked her up, then jumped out of the room and instantly teleported to a nearby grove of trees.
Since the Clock Tower was located on the outskirts of London, Qin Chuan didn't bother to go too far. He simply found a grove of trees nearby and placed Barthemello on the ground. The whole process took only a second.
"Then time started to flow."
The next moment, the surrounding air became chaotic. Under Barthezmello's control, the raging "wind" swept in like a tornado, snapping all the surrounding trees in half.
The wind blades, like sharp weapons, continuously slashed at Qin Chuan's body.
Of course, let alone scratching Qin Chuan's skin, even Qin Chuan's clothes weren't torn, thanks to Qin Chuan's deliberate use of "qi" for protection.
"...What kind of monster are you?!"
Barthezmero was shocked to see Qin Chuan unharmed after his attack and asked the question instinctively.
However, she soon noticed something even more important—her surroundings seemed to have suddenly changed.
She suddenly looked up and around, only to realize that just moments before she launched her attack, she was still in her office, but after she launched her attack, she and Qin Chuan appeared outside.
"As you can see, your attacks have no effect on me, but I have no intention of destroying the clock tower, so I have no choice but to move you out first."
Qin Chuan looked at the pale-faced Barthezmero and explained with a smile.
“The other monarchs have already surrendered… Barthemello, I suggest you obediently comply, that way you can continue to be your monarch, except that you will have to obey my orders from now on, nothing will change.”
"Do not make jokes!"
(Damn it!) Barthezmero, of course, could not accept this. She raised her whip and lashed it at Qin Chuan, her face filled with anger.
However, as soon as she swung her whip, Qin Chuan grabbed it—no one knew how Qin Chuan used it, but Barthemello immediately felt the magic in her whip disappear.
In an instant, Barthemello felt the power within her body gradually disappearing... something was consuming her strength.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. Giving you a choice just now was merely to provide you with a way to accept the facts with dignity."
Qin Chuan gripped Barthez's whip, watching Barthez gradually lose his power as he extracted "life energy," and sneered.
“If you don’t accept it gracefully… then I’ll have to make you suffer a little, Joe.”
Although Barthezmello was overly arrogant, he was still quite handsome.
Since Bartholomew is unwilling to give in obediently, the only option is to make her accept the reality in a special way, just like Psykos from the Monster Association.
Chapter 619 Sleeping with someone is also a solution
More than half an hour later, Qin Chuan returned carrying Barthez, who had already fallen unconscious.
"It took a really long time."
Weber, who had been waiting in the office for a long time, couldn't help but complain when he saw Qin Chuan bring Barthemello in through the window.
Of course, the "long" he mentioned was mainly because Qin Chuan had resolved the problems in an instant when dealing with other monarchs.
Among the previous monarchs, there were those who tried to rebel like Barthemello, but after being hit on the head by "Blackbird Lover," they immediately became obedient.
Therefore, compared to other monarchs, the time Qin Chuan spent on Barthezmello can indeed be described as "long," longer than the combined time spent dealing with all other monarchs.
"That's already considered fast."
Qin Chuan gave Weber a meaningful smile, then placed Barthemello's limp body on the office sofa.
Barthemello was pale and extremely weak, looking as if he was about to die—clearly, Qin Chuan had shown no mercy to Barthemello.
If it weren't for the fact that Barthemello's death might result in the Clock Tower losing a monarch and delaying his control of the Magic Association, Barthemello probably wouldn't have survived in Qin Chuan's Hand 403.
"...I see, now I understand why it took so long."
Seeing Qin Chuan's smile, and then seeing Barthez, who was already exhausted and unconscious, Weber couldn't help but cover his face, as if he had guessed something.
However, he clearly wasn't going to discuss Qin Chuan's actions in much detail; what he was more concerned about now was whether Qin Chuan had achieved his goal.
"So, Mr. Qin Chuan, have you now fulfilled your needs?"
"This... it should work, I'll give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan looked down at Barthellello, who was still unconscious. While "educating" Barthellello, Qin Chuan had already used "Blackbird Lover" to control Barthellello's brain.
Although Barthezmello was still being defiant, judging from her physical reaction just now, she had actually accepted reality and probably wouldn't dare to resist Qin Chuan anymore.
In other words, Qin Chuan has effectively dealt with all the rulers of the Magic Association, except for the so-called "Dean" who has no real power in the association.
However, for Qin Chuan, the elusive "Dean (bgei)" was completely unimportant.
Because once the Magic Association becomes part of Qin Chuan's "King's Army," everyone in the Magic Association will become Qin Chuan's subordinates—including the "Dean," who will be unable to disobey Qin Chuan's orders.
