After using this ability to the extreme, Isidor's body was covered with clearly visible tiger stripes.
The next moment, he suddenly jumped up, took advantage of the opponent's blink of an eye, and slashed at Cecilia who was standing on the lava with a sword.
Although he didn't pay attention to the panel, Isidor believed that his speed had increased exponentially based on his physical sense. Although he was still not as fast as the ghostly Iovia, he had also reached a very amazing level.
Cecilia was obviously startled. She hurriedly used her halberd to block Isidor's sword, but the huge impact force instantly shattered the halberd and continued to chop at her.
Cecilia quickly created a shield between the big sword and her body. The big sword hit the shield with a loud noise, and Cecilia was flung away. But she quickly built a big umbrella to cushion the force and landed steadily on the open ground.
Although Cecilia still appeared relaxed, Isidor had already noticed the blood on her knuckles and her fingers seemed to be trembling slightly.
It seemed that Cecilia had to struggle to take his attack, and was obviously injured. Although the wound was not serious, it proved that the opponent was not invincible. In this way, the question of how she could take the large-scale magic without injury just now was answered.
"You guys, are you immune to magic?" Isidor asked.
"Haha, you discovered it so quickly. This is also one of the basic powers given by God." Cecilia smiled, stretched out her hand and constructed a thicker halberd, chopping towards Isidor.
Isidor used his great sword to push away the halberd, and used the Chongya tribe's added physical strength and superb swordsmanship to launch a counterattack. After only a dozen moves, Cecilia could no longer hold back. She threw away the halberd and took several steps back before she managed to stabilize herself.
Through the fight just now, Isidor was sure that she was not very strong, and her fighting style was mainly agile and changeable. From time to time, she would build some secondary weapons or hidden weapons to interfere with herself, which was how she could block more than a dozen moves. However, judging from the size of the halberd, it was obviously not too light, but she swung it as effortlessly as if waving a straw.
Thinking of this, Isidor, full of suspicion, kicked the halberd on the ground and held it in his hand. The moment he held the halberd, he could hardly feel the weight of the halberd except for the touch.
The halberd, which was more than twice his height, was actually as light as straw! However, its sturdiness was no less than the heavy sword in his hand.
This means that the other party's attainment in the skill of "fantasy construction" is far greater than his own.
"Did you realize it? It's too late. Now that magic doesn't work, you're helpless." Cecilia said, constructing a spear and stabbing it into the ground.
Isidor instinctively felt a sense of danger, and his feeling was right, because the next second, a spear suddenly extended from under his feet. If he had not jumped away in time, he would have been pierced.
However, this was just the beginning. As soon as Isidor landed, another field of spears sprouted out from where he landed. This time, Isidor could no longer avoid it, so he had to build a metal disc under his feet to block the sharpness of the spears.
Just as he stood firm, many points of light suddenly flashed in the sky. Isidor felt his eyes blurred and a long sword without a handle pierced his shoulder.
Isidor hurriedly pulled out the sword that had pierced his body, and at the same time built a shield to block the rain of swords falling from the sky.
He also knew that Fantasy Construction could control the location of creations and adjust the parameters of creation. But this was a very difficult thing to do. He tried many times and could only create items one or two meters in front of him, so he gave up this futile effort. But today, he saw a more advanced application of this ability.
"I know what you are thinking. You think your abilities are similar to mine? Do you think you can do it just by imitating me? Haha, you are totally wrong, absolutely wrong! What I possess is not magic nor skills, but the power that comes directly from God. Your clumsy imitation can never fight against this kind of power, and it is also your sin itself." Cecilia said, with a trace of pity in her eyes as she looked at Isidor.
In contrast to this trace of compassion, a huge sword began to gather in the sky. The sword was as huge as an inverted mountain, and the blade reflected the sunlight, showing a dazzling white color.
Perhaps because it is too huge, it looks a little unreal and the whole thing is translucent, but under Cecilia's continuous construction, it has gradually become more substantial.
Isidor knew that he could not withstand this attack with his fantasy, and with spears everywhere, he could not escape before the sword fell.
Fortunately, he didn't have to resist.
"Tear her apart." Isidor gave an order, and countless evil creatures suddenly rushed out from the void. They filled the forest of spears and rushed towards Cecilia desperately.
Cecilia was startled and quickly stopped building, using her halberd to block the evil creature in front of her. Cecilia lost control and the sword fell from the sky. However, the construction was not yet completed, and Isidor smashed it into pieces with a void shock wave.
"You're really troublesome. Can't you just die quietly?" Cecilia's fighting style was obviously unable to cope with such a large number of people. After barely holding out for a while, she could only leave a harsh word and turned around to flee into the distance.
Chapter 145 Blood Feud
Isidor was about to chase after them, but suddenly he remembered that he was already some distance away from the royal city. If the other party was acting in an organized manner, they would most likely attack Alice and Emilyne.
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of pursuit and turned around to return to the royal city.
However, at this moment, a loud noise came from the direction where Cecilia escaped. Isidor was startled and was about to go over to check the situation, but after a few steps, he saw the sisters Ethina walking towards him from that direction.
In Emmeline's arms, she was dragging the dusty Cecilia. An arrow had pierced her calf, and her body was covered with wounds. Her originally cool clothes were torn to the point that they could barely cover her body.
"How did you do it? I fought with this guy for a long time!" Isidor said in surprise.
"That's right. Thanks to the battle just now, she was so focused on escaping that she ignored the sneak attack from the flank. When you started fighting, I asked Emmeline to ambush on the possible escape route, and sure enough, she was shot down. I also used telekinesis to throw a lot of rubble, and only then was I able to control her." Esna replied.
"You are so great!" Isidor was overjoyed and walked up excitedly to kiss Esna on the cheek.
Aisina stroked the place where she was kissed and smiled, then she squatted down and lifted Cecilia's hair: "Tell me, who asked you to come? What kind of organization is the Holy Order?"
"So you don't know about the Order of the Holy Spirit either? This organization is so mysterious."
"Gu--kill me, I won't say anything." Cecilia said with her eyes wide open.
"Kill you? It's not that easy. It seems that you have some understanding of us, so you should also know how many tricks the evil goblin in front of us has to deal with women." Esina said with a wicked smile.
"No! Just don't do this!" Cecilia's eyes suddenly became panicked, and she struggled desperately. Esina couldn't catch her for a while, and let her break free.
After breaking free, Cecilia did not run away, but instead formed a dagger and stabbed her own heart cleanly and neatly.
"Let me do it!" Isidor stepped forward and summoned a dozen tentacles to firmly grasp her limbs. At the same time, he stuffed a tentacle into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.
"Hmmmmmm!!!" Cecilia kept humming with her nose, as if she wanted to say something.
"You want an answer now?" Isidor asked.
Cecilia nodded, and a hint of calmness suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Let go of her mouth first. Biting the tongue won't kill you. Even if she does, I can heal her," said Esna.
Isidor nodded and waved his hand to remove the tentacles.
Cecilia, who had regained her freedom of speech, smiled comfortably and said to Isidor, "You came after all. I knew you wouldn't leave me."
Isidor was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that this sentence was not meant for him. He quickly turned around and looked in the direction where Cecilia was looking.
He only saw a vague phantom, and when he turned around, Cecilia had disappeared along with the tentacles that bound her.
"Esina, did you see that? What exactly happened?" Isidor asked in surprise.
"There." Esna said, pointing to the north.
Isidor looked in the direction of her finger and saw a green-haired woman holding Cecilia standing on a distant mountain, looking at them expressionlessly.
"Isidor, long time no see." The green-haired woman spoke slowly. Although her voice was small, it could be clearly heard by everyone.
"Do you know me?" Isidor tried hard to search for memories about her in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out who she was.
"You don't remember? That's fine. Please tell my 20th sister that Agnes, the Sixth Judge of the Holy Order, sends her greetings."
"Agnes, am I doing well?" Cecilia, lying in the arms of the green-haired woman, asked in a coquettish tone.
"You are too greedy. You always want to finish all the work at once. Well, we don't have much time. It's time to go back." After Agnes said this, she disappeared in an instant.
"Oh my God, who are they? The woman just now disappeared faster than the dark elf! And from what she claimed, there are at least six such powerful people in the Holy Order! What is going on? How come such a powerful organization suddenly appeared in the world!" Isidor said in disbelief.
"I just heard part of your conversation. Cecilia kept saying that you were guilty and repeatedly emphasized that she had the power of God. From this point of view, they cannot be unrelated to the Holy See, but when they mentioned the Holy See, they looked contemptuous..." Esna held her chin, obviously lost in thought.
"Aramon, is it true that even you don't know where they came from? You have read so many books, and it's impossible that such an awesome organization would appear out of thin air." Isidor asked.
"I have never heard of any holy order, and you may have misunderstood me. Most of the books I read are about magic, alchemy, medicine, etc., not many about history. So I am certainly not omniscient... Wait a minute, speaking of omniscience——"
Isidor didn't wait for her to continue. He immediately reached into his pocket and took out the dice.
When he reached into his pocket, he felt a sticky liquid. With a vague sense of foreboding, he took out the dice with trembling hands and found that the dice did not unfold, but there were unnatural cracks at the junction of each face of the dice, from which sticky blood flowed.
The dice lady is dead.
"It's a mental attack, the same as what Emmeline suffered. It's just that Dice Girl's vitality is more fragile, and this attack is fatal to her." Esna said calmly.
Isidor did not feel too sad about Dice Lady's death, but he felt a lot of anger in his heart.
Although his feelings for Die-Niang were not as deep as those for Esna, nor as pure as those for Nymega, Die-Niang had helped him a lot after all, and this was irreplaceable. Even Esna herself was found with her intelligence support.
"Well, now we have become enemies with the Holy Order. Whether it's the killing of Dice Lady or the attack on Emilyne, it's unforgivable." Esna said with a cold face.
Isidor seldom saw Esna show such an expression. She always smiled gently. Even when she was fighting for life and death, there was always a faint smile on her face. But her current expression was colder than ice.
"Esina, I need to do two things." Isidor took a deep breath, formed a handkerchief, and carefully wrapped the dice girl in it.
"Please give your orders." Aisina agreed.
"The first thing is to find out the intelligence about the Holy Order as quickly as possible. The second thing is to speed up your plan. I want to get the Essence of Life as soon as possible. This is so that Emily can better protect herself, and also so that I can make them pay the price when we meet next time. Can you give me a plan right away?" Isidor said with clenched fists.
"Yes. I have a plan in mind. Your destruction outside the royal city can serve as a deterrent. Next, I will withdraw the deposits as planned, run the bank, and then use the money to spread rumors and sow discord between the Holy See and the royal family. Then you will take action to assassinate the high-ranking officials of the Holy See in Piedmont. If possible, try to torture them for information about the Holy Order before killing them. I don't believe they know nothing." Eisna replied.
"Just do as you say. I need to be alone for a while. Tell me when you need me to take action." Isidor said, using his imagination to construct a shovel and built a small tomb for Dice Girl on the magma that had begun to solidify.
Chapter 146 Divination Magic
"The king has given me the Marrow of Life."
Isidor was not surprised when Esna came to him with the Essence of Life sealed in the amethyst.
"As I expected, the relationship between the king and the Vatican is not good. Our series of operations just gave the king the opportunity to weaken the influence of the Vatican." Esna continued.
"Let's replace Emmeline's arm first." Isidor said briefly.
"We're already preparing. How effective is your attack on the top leaders of the Holy See? Have you obtained any intelligence on the Holy Order?" asked Esina.
"There was no intelligence. I even attacked several cardinals and they knew nothing about it." Isidor shook his head.
"This is too risky. The status of a cardinal is second only to that of the Pope. Your actions should have aroused the vigilance of the Holy See. Stop for the time being. Once they lock on to your identity, trouble will continue." Aisina said.
"The Holy Order knows our intelligence, but we know nothing about them. This is too passive. I think they targeted Dice Girl first for this reason. They were afraid that we would get the intelligence through Dice Girl." Isidor said distressedly.
"It's not that we don't have any information at all: they mentioned that they wanted us to convey their regards to 'Twenty Sister.' After thinking about it, I think the Twenty Sister they mentioned must be someone from our side. That's why they need to 'convey' her. Considering that the Dice Lady has twenty sides, I think the so-called 'Twenty Sister' is most likely the Dice Lady. In other words, they knew each other before." Esna analyzed.
"But I know nothing about Dice Girl's origins. We just happened to meet." A glimmer of hope flashed in Isidor's eyes, but it soon dimmed.
"Don't worry, I already have a vague guess, I just need to do some more verification. I believe they will not stop their actions. When they make a move next time, I will be able to find out their origins." Aisina said affirmatively.
"This is not enough. We are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. This is the worst case scenario. Even if this disadvantage can be offset in the next fight, I can never accept such a tragedy happening again." Isidor shook his head.
"Do you have any other ideas?" asked Esna.
"After helping Emilyne reattach her arm, we will immediately set out to look for the remaining two companions. We have sufficient frontal combat power, but we don't have experts in intelligence and reconnaissance. If Iovia is here, she will definitely be able to make up for this disadvantage." Isidor said.
"Then, I will activate the divination magic again, and maybe I can find out their location. But the results of divination are often vague, and it is not very stable to use it to find people." Aisina said.
"I have an idea - I inherited some of the prophet's abilities, but I am still unfamiliar with how to use them, and they are very unstable. I hope you can teach me the magic of divination, and then I can combine the abilities of both to predict their locations." Isidor said.
"In that case, take this book and have a look at it first. I will explain the details to you after I have reattached Emmeline's arm." Esna nodded and took out an ancient book about magic and handed it to Isidor.
Isidor took the ancient book and turned to the part about divination magic. This was his first time reading a book about magic. Divination magic was one of the most difficult magics.
However, Isidor did not feel any obstacle when reading. Those obscure words flowed down the stream like water and were transmitted to Isidor's mind without any hindrance.
“Do we need to use a magic ritual to connect to the ‘world’ itself and then obtain intelligence from it? It sounds more like the process of grabbing data with a crawler... Anyway, let’s give it a try first.” Isidor said, reaching out and dipping his hand in water to draw a magic circle on the table, then injecting magic power and launching the divination magic.
The next morning, Esna brought Emmeline, who had already had a new arm, into the room.
"How is it? Is there anything you don't understand? Divination magic is relatively abstract, maybe I should demonstrate it to you." said Esna.
"No need, I have fully mastered the magic of divination - the color you are wearing today is pink." Isidor said, and used the divination magic to calculate the accurate result on the spot.
"Ah? How did you know?! Have you really learned the magic of divination? Are you the world's number one magic genius?" Esna lifted up her skirt and took a look, then looked at Isidor with shocked eyes.
"Now is not the time to worry about this. To divine distant and complicated things, I still need some assistance. Help me draw the magic circle, and then..."
"No, this is very important to me! Please give me a few minutes!" Esina hurried forward, picked up the magic book and turned to the third page.
"This is the fireball spell in fire magic. Can you learn it immediately? It doesn't use the goblin's racial ability." said Esna.
Isidor tried it but soon gave up because it was too complicated for him. Esina asked him to try other magic systems, but Isidor never felt the same knowledge flooding into his brain as when he learned divination magic.
"It seems that you are particularly talented in divination magic. Don't you think you are worthy of inheriting the title of the Prophet? It's a pity that you can't learn other magic immediately, otherwise our combat power can be greatly enhanced. But this is normal. It took me three years to learn all the conventional magic." Aisina said.
"Normally speaking, learning all the conventional magic would not be enough for a lifetime... Brother Isidor, please don't worry about it. I have been a genius since I was young, so I am extremely sensitive to the fact that others' talents surpass mine." Emmeline explained.
"No, I just want to confirm whether Isidor can learn other magic immediately. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Esna argued with a red face.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about those strange desires to win. Let's find the location of Fidna and Iovia first. This is the most important thing now." Seeing that Esna was a little embarrassed, Isidor changed the subject in time.
"Hmm..." Esna nodded, stood up and went to the yard to start drawing a magic circle.
In less than half an hour, the preparations were complete. Isidor combined divination magic with the power of the prophet, and he felt that his consciousness seemed to be connected to a larger consciousness, in which there were infinite threads connected to each other.
Here, every question has an answer, and every result can be traced back to its cause. You will never be able to experience that wonderful feeling unless you experience it yourself.
With the help of the prophet's intuition and the positioning ability of divination magic, Isidor quickly found the answer he wanted.
"They are on an island southeast of the continent, not too far from here! Let's go there now!" Isidor suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly.
"That's great! I miss Iovia and Fidena a little too." Esna clapped her hands happily.
However, at this moment, Isidor suddenly sat down, holding his head in pain: "Wait a minute... My head hurts..."

The long-unseen voice of the system came out.
