“Death to you, pest!”
-srararak.
The cruel witch who finally no longer covered her true nature for the sake of beauty cried out in anger to Leon while floating the object of lightning mixed with fire that smoldering to him mercilessly.
“No! Leon!”
Helios is still locked in the trap of the witch object Isis so that nothing can be done to save the life of her sister. Instantly, Leon's body was filled with fiery lightning. Leon seemed to have no hope of surviving in the hot crater.
“Ukh.”
But the surprise arrived. A thin blanket of dead mana appears around Leon's body and protects him from the lightning and blazing fire.
Leon is awakened in his dying state thanks to Isis who suddenly finds him a precious toy when she has just lost her last toy about turning to Cassandra who is much more naturally beautiful than him, at least according to the young man's view.
Isis simply helps Leon in his dying after being stabbed in the back by Damian not because it means well at all. He just wanted to enjoy the taste of that extremely handsome young man.
But thanks to the irony, Leon now has a little intertwined strength Isis so Leon is also able to use the body of the witch object. For Leon who is a genius in martial arts, it is not difficult to immediately adjust his new abilities that he accidentally obtained even without the knowledge of the origin of his own strength, Isis the witch object.
That was how he was able to defend against Isis' fiery lightning object. In the last minute, Leon manages to turn the dead object that approaches the astral into a semi-solid form that is able to suck the fiery lightning back into its original form which is nothing but a form of change in the form from which it died eke.
Not everything is sucked, but what is not inhaled is only small so that it can be reflected by Leon's semi-solid mana that resembles a shield that spreads throughout his body.
“You... Fucking pest! Where can you use my skills?!”
Isis was full of anger, while Helios who was in the cage instead breathed a sigh of relief. His sister had amazingly survived the deadly attack which she herself was not sure would have survived if she had been hit directly.
What is dangerous about Isis is not her fighting ability. He can change objects as he pleases. It is not limited to the change in form from gas to liquid, liquid to solid, gas to solid, or vice versa. Its ability can also change the type of material itself, such as iron into gold, gold to wood, even from very valuable items into garbage. Absolutely an absurd ability that no common sense could imagine.
However, Leon did not look daunted at Isis at all. He confidently raised his sword of aura to be pointed right at the witch's throat.
slash, slash, slash.
Many times Leon attacked, but what he slashed was just a mere wind. Isis moved absurdly, moving suddenly at an incredible speed with no visible signs of movement on any of her joints. He is like a wooden puppet that moves not by itself, but by the puppeteer.
Isis's ability turned out to be even crazier than one could imagine. He was also able to manipulate a variety of physical forces that could not be separated from his role in the movement of every object in the world.
But Isis attacked Leon,
- Bang, bang, bang.
“Ukh.”
It hit Leon pretty much like a missile had locked onto its target so well that even though Leon had dodged it so many times, it will not finish attacking it until its target is hit or the attack is successfully dispelled by striking it back before hitting it.
Thankfully the protection of Leon's dead mana which he manipulated with the object's sorcery managed to save him from the fatal impact of the attack.
Helios immediately regained consciousness in her panic. He finally realized that no matter how he roared, he would not be able to save his sister if he could not get rid of the cage of objects belonging to Isis who locked him.
Each sorcery must have its own weaknesses. Like the sorcery of Marie's curse that doesn't work without getting a body part of someone to be cursed like her hair or blood, the sorcery of the Angele plague that needs a carrier animal, the, nor the Cassandra sorcery that requires body fluids to touch directly such as during kissing or intercourse, surely the sorcery of Isis has weaknesses as well.
And that's what Helios had to think carefully about to find her to save her brother.
Sorcery is something that defies the laws of nature. However, to function, it still requires being connected to certain valid laws of nature in order to reach the real world. If it was too absurd, then it would only be sucked into the abyss without ever being able to exert its influence into the real world.
Similarly, the sorcery of an omnipotent-looking object is capable of manipulating the object as it pleases, whether its form, type, style, or strength, although it clearly looks very absurd, there must be a world law that he fulfilled so that it could come to the surface.
Helios no longer lamented the younger brother who was seen being tormented by the witch object Isis. It was because Helios also believed in the power of her sister that she could definitely endure the cruelty of the cruel witch's attack.
To be able to help the younger brother, Helios had to think coldly first how to get out of the cage of the object that was clearly immune to all the magic and physical attacks that Helios had. Not much different was also experienced by Yasmin who was trapped in another cage not far from the confinement of Helios.
Helios must be able to break that sorcery spell. That's why Helios had to find the formula to solve the problem. And for that, Helios had to closely observe Isis's every move and how her patterns and habits in summoning each sorcery style of her object.

“The forecast cannot be changed... No! It can't be like this! Is the prophecy really irreversible?! Isn't that cruel?! Why then do I dream of it in each of my nightmares if it's the edges can't be changed either?! No. gabe. It can't be like this. At least Leon's son should be safe. That good boy can't die.”
Madam Shipton who could only lament the fate of the three people who were absorbed into the dimensional gap formed by Isis's sorcery from the outside world, ended up sobbing.
Seeing an old grandmother crying that looks fragile, Alice immediately grabbed the old grandmother and calmed her down.
Unlike Helios, though, Alice is less interested in history so she is completely unaware of the Madam Shipton who is before her today is actually in one of the stories that Helios recently returned to the surface after being buried deeply by Baal's evil intentions.
He had a slight impression that Madam Shipton was also a subordinate of the Demon King since he was together with Noel Dumberman. But he did not know in detail that he was a witch who had one of the abilities to see the future through his nightmares.
That was why Alice did not ponder too much on his words because she only thought that it was a nonsense speech that came from a senile old grandmother who loved Leon so much that she expected his salvation to the stage the extreme where he imagines his own no-no about Leon's death.
But Alice was wrong. Indeed, at least until now, none of Madam Shipton's nightmare predictions missed. Every bad thing he dreams of will always come true.

-Srararak, bang, bang.
“Aaakkkhhh.”
The fight quickly flowed unilaterally where however it was seen, it was just Isis's slaughter of Leon.
But then, a light shone brightly on one of the confinements that were above them. That's the cage where Helios is being held.
Inevitably Isis and Leon stopped the fight for a moment in order to observe what was going on up there.
It was seen by Isis that her absolute confinement, which could not be destroyed by either physical attack or magic attack, had just appeared to be destroyed by Helios.
- No.
Helios immediately jumped up looking haughty while looking to enjoy the face of disbelief Isis after she managed to break the magic of her object.
“How can? My magic you broke?!”
“I was already suspicious about how there was such a convenient ability that could change everything as well as our hearts. However, that doesn't mean you can create something out of nothing or completely eliminate something to nothing. After I carefully observed your fighting style that's where I managed to realize my misconceptiveness from the beginning.”
“Misconseption?”
“Originally your strength.”
“What do you mean?”
“Surely your power does not affect the object directly, but what you affect is our mind.”
“What does that mean, Brother?”
This time, it was Leon who asked curiously about the deduction from Helios.
“Word magic.”
“Word magic?”
“Ya, right. Word magic's. Isis's true ability does not affect the object at all, but rather on our minds. By distorting the illusion, he makes us confident about the shape, shape, sharpness, and new types of objects that he changes from the origin of the old object. That's where the key manager can succeed as well as the law that connects his sorcery so that it reaches the real world.”
“So here you understand right, Leon?”
“What understanding?”
“As long as we are not affected by the illusory distortion of our general understanding of form, shape, sharpness, as well as the general type of object, then he is no longer an existing opponent anything.”
Helios looked at Isis with a sly smile on her face. Seeing that, cold sweat appeared from the temple Isis saw the hero who was in front of her was more like a villain.
“You're dead, Isis!”
With confidence, Helios advanced and was about to attack Isis after startling her with her screams.
“Wait a minute, Brother. He is my opponent. I hope Brother doesn't interfere more with the problems I have to face myself.
However, Leon immediately intercepts Helios and insists that only he must defeat the ruthless witch, the main subordinate of the Demon King.
