Gerard's Warning!

Above the azure sea, an angel with pure white wings sprouting from its back wielded a black longsword with an eerie aura, carving apart the corpse of a Star Beast floating in the air. Wherever the longsword passed, all flesh and blood transformed into strange black currents that coiled around the blade, making it even more sinister.

When Rona arrived atop the Winged Fire Dragon, this was the bizarre sight that greeted her. A holy angel was doing something so wicked and unnatural!

Whether it was the aura emitted by the sword in its hand or the sight of it dissolving and devouring the Star Beast's corpse, everything indicated that it was anything but a good thing.

Yet faced with such a strange scene, Rona's expression remained rather calm. Other than a faint delight, no other emotion could be seen on her face.

Simply because...

A holy angel wielding the power of darkness was nothing new in this world. Long ago, an Angel King had fallen entirely into darkness, degenerating from a lofty, holy angel into the King of Fallen Angels, one of the strongest evil gods!

Ever since then, angels wielding dark power had ceased to be anything novel. Countless wizards sought to replicate that Angel King's miracle—transforming from an Angel King who, though powerful, had never ranked among the strongest, into the King of Fallen Angels, one of the strongest. That was an enormous leap!

Unfortunately, while quite a few Fallen Angels had been created, not a single one had replicated the King of Fallen Angels' achievement. Forget a massive leap in strength; many Fallen Angels not only failed to grow stronger, but actually became considerably weaker.

Even so, quite a few wizards in the wizarding world remained obsessed with corrupting angels!

Mad Witches corrupted the most of them!

Of course, the reason Rona was not surprised was that she had seen far more twisted and bizarre things on Isaac. A mere Fallen Angel...

What was that compared to?

Then where did Rona's smile come from?

Naturally...

"Tsk, tsk. It's actually his familiar. Looks like he's pretty confident." The moment the Winged Fire Dragon reached the destination, before the angel had time to become wary, Isaac's figure behind Rona slowly emerged from invisibility. He looked delightedly at the angel holding the dark longsword.

"Why did you come out?" Rona turned back to look at Isaac curiously. "No more hiding?"

"No. That angel is his familiar. Kill it, and we can use this thing's corpse to directly pinpoint that guy."

"You can do that?" Rona stared at Isaac in shock. "Just like that?"

"..." Isaac looked at Rona, unsure what to say for a moment.

Of course it was not that simple. Although wizards and familiars shared a connection, it was usually one-way. The two-way kind was called a Magic Pet, like Isaac's Hand of God. Their status was entirely different, so it was not easy to pinpoint an enemy's location using only a familiar.

Otherwise, familiars would have been phased out by wizards long ago.

But as always, not easy meant it was still possible.

And Isaac, who had traded with Outer Gods for vast quantities of Forbidden Knowledge and learned an immense amount through the Golden Finger and his authority, happened to know quite a few spells capable of tracing a wizard's location in reverse through a familiar!

To ensure the spell's effectiveness, he had even specifically developed one for situations like this!

But there was no need to explain all that to Rona. Even if he did, she probably would not understand.

She might not understand the principles of the spell, but she could understand Isaac's words. And she was not the only one—the angel understood them too. In fact, it understood even more!

In its perception, Isaac was merely an ordinary wizard, but it knew that was only an illusion. An ordinary wizard might confidently say something like that; after all, this world had no shortage of arrogant idiots.

But...

There was absolutely no way an ordinary wizard could materialize so casually from invisibility while leaving it completely unaware of anything unusual!

That could only mean one thing—the gap in strength between them was as vast as a chasm!

Clearly, no matter how it looked, it could not possibly be the stronger side.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, the angel's pure white wings trembled as it prepared to flee!

As a familiar, it should not have been so cowardly. Even when facing a powerful enemy, what it should have done was offer up its life to provide its master with whatever scraps of intelligence it could.

It was cruel, but that was a familiar's mission. Not every familiar was as cherished as Isaac's; most familiars were merely expendable materials.

Especially the familiars of Mad Witches.

Under normal circumstances, it should have charged at Isaac and fought him to the death, then used the connection between wizard and familiar to send the information back before it died.

But the current situation was anything but normal. That wizard seemed to be after its master, and he apparently could even use its corpse to pinpoint its master's location!

That was terrifying. It did not know whether Isaac truly possessed such an ability, but it knew it could not gamble!

That was why it had not hesitated for even a moment before trying to leave!

But...

The instant the thought arose, it abruptly discovered that it could no longer move...

The difference between it and Isaac was even greater than it had imagined!

The next moment, even its thoughts froze...

"Done. Next... Hm? Big Brother's target is a familiar too?" Isaac was about to cast his spell, kill the angel, and turn it into material for tracking Gerard when, through the two High-level Dimension Apostles, he discovered in surprise that Big Brother's target was also Gerard's familiar...

Seeing that, Isaac stopped what he was doing. With a thought, a pitch-black fissure appeared. Isaac grabbed the angel and entered it with Rona.

He was confident that he could pinpoint that guy using a single familiar, but this matter was rather important. If possible, he did not want the slightest accident, so two familiars would be safer.

By the time Isaac and Rona crossed the Dimension World and arrived at Caesar's side, he had already finished the battle. Like Isaac, after discovering that the demon was Gerard's familiar, he had shown no mercy and cut it down with a single slash!

Like Isaac, Caesar could use the familiar to pinpoint Prank Master Gerard's location. Of course, unlike Isaac, he could only locate Gerard through beings like familiars that had a relatively deep connection with him. Apart from that, there was nothing he could do.

All that could be said was that, even as one blessed by the gods, he was still a brute. He was different from wizards, who relied on their brains.

At the same time, elsewhere...

Gerard, who was attempting to revive the Star God, suddenly felt his heart tighten. For the first time in a long while, he felt the stabbing pain of having his heart clenched in someone's hand!

A shadow fell over Gerard's heart. Something had happened...

"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in him, a Gray Robe Wizard beside Gerard raised his brows and asked curiously.
