Chapter 334: Chapter 242: A Match Made in Heaven?

"BOOM!!!"

A burst of Flame erupted violently from the Knight’s head!

The body, its skull shattered, plummeted from the sky. The Longsword in its hand began to slip, but before it could fall, he gripped it tightly. His brain, which had been blown to pieces, regenerated completely. He floated once more in the air, his gaze fixed icily on Isaac.

"Perfect Flesh Body?" In the sky, watching the Knight recover at an extreme speed, Isaac raised an eyebrow. ’Now I understand how he was able to break through my Authority Magic, despite having undergone physical modification.’

Perfect Flesh Body. One of the top-tier Authorities every Knight coveted.

This Authority not only enhanced every physical attribute but also allowed its user to evolve toward the perfect lifeform spoken of in Legend.

Most importantly, possessing this Authority meant that even if the body underwent modification, its integrity would remain unaffected. Neither one’s potential nor their will would be compromised.

’And it seems the Perfect Flesh Body Authority also grants a certain Immunity to other Authorities?’

’But that last part wasn’t recorded in any of the materials I’ve read. A little experiment is in order...’

However, after glancing at the Magic Power fluctuations of the two High-level Mages streaking toward him from the distance, Isaac abandoned the idea of experimenting. With a grand wave of his hand, a dark fissure appeared. Profound and evil Magic Power gushed out, coalescing into tentacles. They firmly bound the High-level Knight—who, despite having healed, now wore a dazed expression—and began to drag him into the dark Dimension World!

"BOOM!"

A torrent of Battle Qi and Magic Power erupted from his body, shattering the dark tentacles, only for new ones to immediately entangle him again...

In truth, with a High-level Knight’s strength, Magic Power tentacles of this level should not have been able to restrain him. Or, to be more precise, breaking free should have been effortless. But alas...

He no longer had a brain.

Literally.

Relying on his Perfect Flesh Body Authority, this High-level Knight had undergone an extreme degree of physical modification—one that even extended to his brain!

Under most circumstances, this modification would have granted him a massive boost in strength. Real-time computational ability is a tremendous asset in battle, and the processing power of computing modules from Mechanical Alchemy is immense. Forget Knight Barbarians; even some Wizards couldn’t match the computational speed of these modules.

But unfortunately for him, he had run into Isaac...

Isaac had recently mastered a Secret Skill for implanting massive amounts of junk data. For a normal person, such an influx would only leave them dazed for a moment. The human brain has a self-preservation mechanism and would recover after a short time, though the exact duration might vary.

But this Knight was different. Part of his brain had been converted into a computing module. If a massive amount of data was dumped into that thing in a short time, it would simply fry itself!

While the module had protective mechanisms, they were nowhere near as robust as the brain’s natural defenses. After all, when a Transcendent advanced, all of their organs were enhanced simultaneously, just to varying degrees depending on their specialization.

Take Wizards, for instance. It’s often said that Wizards are physically weak, but this is only in comparison to High-level Knights who specialize in close combat. A Wizard’s body strengthens along with their Magic Power; if they were truly that frail, they wouldn’t be able to go ten or fifteen days at a time without sleep.

Returning to the matter at hand, while the computing module had drastically improved his real-time combat calculations, it also meant that once he lost this accustomed computational aid, his brain would instantly crash. He would be left to fight on pure instinct.

Just like now. Despite his powerful combat instincts being paired with his formidable physique, he was left with nothing but Barbaric Strength. Against Isaac’s consciously controlled Magic Power tentacles, he was slowly but surely sinking into the Dimension World.

Seeing this, Isaac nodded in satisfaction. With a casual wave, he conjured an invisible wall that completely enveloped the Knight and the dimensional fissure. He wasn’t about to let anyone interfere with his plan to capture his prize.

’After all, I’m quite interested in this Perfect Flesh Body Authority... an Authority suspected of having resistance to all others...’

’How interesting.’

But for now... Isaac’s eyes flickered. He leaned forward slightly and instantly transformed into a streak of Magic Power, shooting toward the two High-level Mages. At the same time, he unleashed two brand-new Authority Magics—

"Arrogant Turtle: Edge of the World!"

"Arrogant Turtle: Cape!"

He used the same sequence of moves as he had on the deserted island: the basic Authority Magic to clear out the lesser Soldiers, and the advanced version to lock down powerful individuals.

As for the attacks from the two High-level Mages, they had absolutely no Sense of Presence before Isaac’s Positive Infinitesimal Authority. They couldn’t even get within a centimeter of him. Pathetically weak!

"BOOM!"

The moment he cast the two Authority Magics, an incredibly violent explosion erupted not far ahead. Sensing the terrifying Magic Power fluctuations and noting the location of the blasts, Isaac’s figure emerged from the blue stream of Magic Power, a stunned expression on his face as he stared.

’Those two explosions happened exactly where my two Authority Magics were supposed to land...’

’But... aren’t those supposed to be Control Magic? How could they have such destructive power?’
