Chapter 139: 4-star (4)
Why do we live?
I remember the first time I opened my eyes in a corner of the slums. crystal That was the moment Dereck’s journey began.
It wasn’t a deep question, nor something that would help him survive, but it was something everyone wonders at least once in their lives.
Without warning, he was thrown into a hostile environment where he had to scavenge just to survive. aluminum As he struggled to endure it, a question naturally engraved itself into his young mind.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
It was a trivial question the boy asked himself while chewing a piece of hard rye bread, sitting in a corner of the street and gazing up at the sea of stars in the sky.
There were so many beggars lying on the ground that no one passing by paid any attention to Dereck—but he kept looking at the sky, his eyes shining brightly.
It was a cold street.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The figure of Dereck, who had just stood up, vanished in an instant.

Bang! zenith Crash!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
He instinctively knew that facing a grandmaster-level mage head-on was suicide.
He was already an experienced mercenary.
Grand Duke Beltus frowned and looked around. acquire In that brief moment, Dereck had used illusion magic to erase his presence and hide among the rubble, seeking to take the Grand Duke by surprise.
No matter how damaged Fina had left him, Grand Duke Beltus was still a five-star mage, responsible for an entire noble house. galaxy To defeat him, one had to use every possible trick—not just raw magical skill.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The Grand Duke, who had more or less grasped this, immediately cast a defensive spell over his entire body the moment Dereck’s figure disappeared.
Battlefield coordination and improvisation were Dereck’s specialties.
He didn’t know from where or how the attack would come. armor The only certainty was that as long as he didn’t allow a critical hit, Dereck could never surpass him.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
However, any magic below two-star level could be dispelled and nullified with a single glance.
Whoosh!
Beyond the shattered outer wall, a fireball from Dereck came flying inside.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
It was a unique method of Beltus’s own—something even veteran mages could not easily master.
It’s a common trait among those who reach the four-star rank or higher the way they manipulate magic through their own interpretation lies beyond ordinary talent.
Grand Duke Beltus possessed the ability to control magic with his eyes alone.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
However, Dereck’s true intention was to draw Beltus’s gaze.
Snap!
Clang!
Leaping from the rubble, Dereck lunged at him with his sword drawn. canvas His jump was so fast that by the time someone blinked, the blade was already right in front of him.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
“Do you think you can defeat me with such pathetic tricks?”
The sword, blocked right before the Grand Duke, trembled violently.
But the two-star combat spell Protective Wall had the power to nullify physical impact in proportion to the caster’s magic.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The Light of the Empire in Beltus’s hands shone once more.
Even so, he stood up and widened the distance between them.

Bang!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
His sensitivity to magic was high, and his rate of growth abnormally fast.
Even before a five-star mage, Dereck’s mind was constantly turning—searching for openings, adapting, refining his use of magic, attempting to overturn the situation.
He could already feel it. legend If he didn’t kill that monster right then, he couldn’t imagine how powerful he might become in the future.
Was it a retreat? advance Or was he trying to lure him in? afford It wasn’t clear, but the Grand Duke had no choice but to pursue.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Who could doubt it? riddle That monster had the potential to reach at least five stars.
If the opportunity had arisen to tear him out by the roots, it had to be taken.
And so, Grand Duke Beltus dashed down the corridor, chasing Dereck.
It was a great fortune to encounter him while he was still a three-star mage, momentarily stagnant after hitting a wall.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Dereck cast confusion magic, scattering illusions everywhere.
Arrows flew, swords clashed against his body, but he ignored them all.
Though numerous illusory doubles appeared, created by the confusion magic, Beltus—who also mastered detection spells—was not deceived.
Boom! arena Bang!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
– Groooh!
He already anticipated they would vanish the moment they touched him.
But what appeared before him was a giant demon.
Dereck crossed the half-destroyed corridor of the second floor and opened the door leading to the outer stairs.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Its eyes gleamed, and soon a gigantic fist came crashing down toward him.
The hellish demon, moving under Beltus’s command, had already been waiting, knowing he would try to escape through there.
The sight of its massive face closing in was pure terror.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
– Booom!
Struck by the impact, Dereck rolled once across the floor.
“What a pleasure to see you run!”
Bursting through the dust, he sprinted at full speed toward the lower floor.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Even if he had to abandon everything, he was determined to kill him right there.
With that resolve, he plunged after him.
The Grand Duke, wrapped in magic, floated and pursued him downward.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The corridor on the second floor was almost completely destroyed, but the first floor still retained some of the luxury of a noble mansion.
Dereck threw himself into the first-floor corridor, rolled, and kept moving.
– Fwoosh! antique Thud!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, all the windows along the long corridor shattered at once, and a swarm of bat-like monsters burst in.

Of course, the carpet was stained with monster tracks, and furniture lay scattered across the floor.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Each was imbued with magical power, and yet they all seemed to move as one.
It was impossible to count how many creatures Grand Duke Beltus controlled.
Wielding his longsword, Dereck cut down the monsters one after another until the Grand Duke finally appeared at the far end.
When Dereck cast the two-star combat spell Fireball down the corridor, many began to burn and disintegrate, but the number flooding in far exceeded those destroyed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
He had entered floating through a window.
“Your words sounded grand, but you’re nothing more than a coward running away. legend I’ll end your life here…”
Before the Grand Duke could finish his sentence, the ceiling collapsed.
– Bang!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Startled by the sudden attack, he tried to deploy a defensive spell but couldn’t deflect all the falling debris.
The mansion’s entrance was blocked by the Archlich.
‘An ambush… reinforcements…?’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
However, among the remains of the second-floor corridor were clear traces of magical energy.
But when he looked up, there was no one there.
At this point, there shouldn’t have been any enemies left capable of intervening.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The staff, crafted by a transmutation artisan from the northern Rochester region, had the ability to re-manifest a spell after a brief delay once cast.
The fireball Dereck had launched in the second-floor corridor wasn’t intended to subdue Grand Duke Beltus directly.
‘Echoes…’
Only then did Dereck’s eyes fall on the staff he held. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

By casting the spell with that delay, he succeeded in luring Grand Duke Beltus into the first-floor corridor, causing him to be buried beneath the debris.
Crackle! amateur Bang!
By exploiting the power of Echoes, he had re-manifested the fireball with a timed delay to collapse the building’s foundations.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
However, his attention briefly shifted toward the second floor.
That single instant of distraction.
Of course, the rubble alone wasn’t enough to subdue him. atlas His defensive magic was powerful enough to easily withstand such weight.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
When Grand Duke Beltus turned his gaze forward again, Dereck had already drawn his sword and was lunging at him.
His movement was like lightning. artist The speed and lack of hesitation showed that everything had been meticulously calculated.
In a situation where the outcome could be decided in a fraction of a second, even the slightest lapse could lead to an irreversible result.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
If he had to defend against one first, it had to be the latter.
The falling debris. adapt Dereck closing in.
Even with necromantic madness consuming his thoughts and his body on the verge of collapse, the master-level mage never stopped thinking.
In that instant, lasting only a hundredth of a second—that fleeting moment when time seemed to stop—the Grand Duke’s mind began to accelerate.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
If he blocked Dereck’s attack, he couldn’t stop the debris.
Instinctive reflexes.
But Dereck would be buried along with him.
Despite his old and weary body, and his years away from the battlefield, his combat instincts surged through him once more.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Whoosh!
But the moment the duke’s magic touched him, the figure of Dereck lunging forward with sword in hand dissolved into magical energy and vanished. palette It was an illusion spell.
With that decision, he prepared to unleash a shockwave toward Dereck.
Better both buried, he thought, than allowing a one-sided strike.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Had he only done it to prevent the Grand Duke from blocking the falling debris by forcing him to react to the illusion?
Beltus realized his intent too late and turned his gaze upward to try and halt the collapse.
To foresee even the unforeseen—to respond to the response—the ability to see one step ahead is an indispensable skill for a duelist.
Even in such an extreme situation, that madman had thrown in another feint.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
A sword protruded from Grand Duke Beltus’s shoulder.
His eyes widened, and he looked back.
– Thud!
However, Dereck was one step ahead.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Dereck took another step and drove the blade in once more. wizard The attack from behind was impossible to block.
Even if both were buried beneath the rubble, that strike was fatal.
In that situation, he too would be caught under the collapse.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
If he could claim the bone, he was willing to sacrifice the flesh.
But if he could land a truly deadly blow, it was worth the risk.
“You’re… a damn… lunatic…”
The reckless spirit of that young, blood-soaked mercenary was unlike that of a noble who had too much to lose.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
– Crash! silence Bang!
Blood spurted from the pierced shoulder.
The debris from the second floor collapsed over them both.

Starlight filtered through the shattered ceiling, and a presence emerged from among the rubble.
Duke Beltus, with a wound in his shoulder, groaned as he rose.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Even so, he was still alive. airport Somehow, the protective magic he had cast had managed to preserve his limbs.
His luxurious noble attire was covered in dust and blood; his broken body creaked audibly.
Blood gushed out, and his legs wouldn’t respond.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The necromantic madness threatened to consume his mind once again, and the veins across his body burned like fire.
But as soon as he emerged from the heap of ruins, his knees gave out.
– Crack! amateur Thud!
His body was shattered, his mana nearly depleted, the mansion collapsing, the gathered armies scattered, and the monsters running amok.

That was how Duke Beltus had accumulated power.
He caught the scent of grapes.

Broken bottles covered the floor, and the wine spilling from the barrels soaked the ground like blood.
He didn’t know, but he had to stay conscious.
It was the underground wine cellar. wizard The debris from the first-floor hallway had fallen all the way down to the basement.
The red liquid running down his hand—was it wine or blood? attic Or both?

“Gasp, cough… ugh…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Red eyes gleamed beneath white hair. athlete Wine stained the tips of his boots, and blood covered his face.

“Ugh!”

The blow landed cleanly, piercing through him.
Blood burst forth, and Dereck rolled across the wine-soaked floor, groaning.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Every spell he cast now clung directly to his life itself.
Just by summoning a few swords, Beltus coughed up blood.
“You… bastard… do you even know who you’re talking to…?”
Even on the verge of collapse, the man—like a moving corpse—did not stop.

– Thud! canvas Thud!

As Beltus staggered back with a groan, Dereck, barely standing, rammed into him with his shoulder.

Blood splattered, and a tooth rolled across the floor.

And yet, both men were established nobles.

“Die. acquire Die! abstract You damned… die…!”
Beltus clenched his teeth and screamed, but his body no longer obeyed him.

“I suppose you don’t have enough strength left to use magic.”
“…”
Two men struggled over a single dagger.
At that moment, Dereck, his eyes wide open, spoke.

He stumbled several times, his feet slipping, and had to push himself up from the ground again and again.

Even so, he straightened completely without changing his expression.
“Cough… cough… cough…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The man staggering toward him was Death itself—the Reaper come to end the long path of Grand Duke Beltus.
In his hand, he held a dagger.
When that reality became clear, the duke’s toes began to tremble uncontrollably.

“…”
“You… damned lunatic…”

“…”

“Magic… was just a means to rise for someone as low-born as you, wasn’t it…?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
The stench of death filled the air.
“Then I’ll do as you wish. arch Take my hand… I’ll show you what true power is…”
It was so thick—more pungent and dense than the scent of grapes saturating the cellar.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
“…”
With trembling hands, he propped himself on the floor and spoke to Dereck.
The duke’s sharp sense of smell didn’t overlook that abominable fear.
“If you wish to learn magic… I can help you reach the highest peaks… I am the master of Beltus…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.

Soon, Dereck’s hand was imbued with magical energy.

Duke Beltus clicked his tongue in disbelief.
After scraping the very bottom of his energy, all that should have remained was pure willpower.
Could he still use magic?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
That was what the duke had demonstrated throughout the battle.
Only by drawing out every last drop of power from the body through superhuman will can one reach the next level.
Not bound by the magical system established by Adelbert, but rising above it—touching the very essence of magic itself.
Clashes of swords, collisions of spells—the sensation that touched the man’s senses flickered through his memory.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
He had already suffered multiple fatal wounds, his body was covered in cuts, and blood wouldn’t stop flowing.
And yet, he tried to unleash a spell beyond one or two stars in level.
It was incredible that Dereck still had enough energy to channel magic.

From that point onward, it might well cost him his life.
Everything in the world has a price.
Was it a spinning lantern? voyage Or a dream?

In the corners of the slums, on tavern streets, by the roadside, in the barony.

The people beside him might have changed, but the scenery always seemed the same.
Come to think of it, he had always been gazing at the starry sky.

An old man in the slums once asked.

“Just to survive.”

“What do you intend to achieve by learning magic this way?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
As he grew, matured, survived, became stronger, and his circumstances improved, his reasons for seeking higher levels of magic varied—but the outcome of moving forward was always the same.
No long explanation was necessary.
The answer changed every time. atlas It couldn’t be helped.
In that context, answering Grand Duke Beltus’s question was not difficult at all.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
When asked why he was so obsessed with magic, he felt the answer had been decided long ago.
That naïve boy had wondered why he had to live.
Perhaps he had already understood it back then.
When he had awakened in the streets of the slums, thrown into a cold world without rules or direction.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
To live well, it’s good to be obsessed with something.
So he decided to be obsessed with magic.
That’s why, when people asked him why he clung so tightly to magical success, there was no grand answer.
A life without purpose or ambition lacks drive.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
“Just because.”
That was all.
An incomprehensible fear—like that felt before a being beyond all logic and understanding—seized him.
Grand Duke Beltus’s eyes widened.

When humans sense death drawing near, they often cry.

He knew the sensation of the magical flow, but he forcibly twisted and distorted it, combining the methods of illusion and summoning magic.
Beyond the rules established by Adelbert, when one gazes directly into the essence of magic, an entirely new landscape reveals itself.
The magical energy at his arm’s tip was familiar—and he deliberately shattered it.
Three-star combat magic, Freeze.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
It felt as if his whole body were burning and electricity was crackling through him.
Crackle, Pop!
The euphoria that swept through his entire body upon reaching that limit could not be compared to any extreme narcotic.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
In that instant, Grand Duke Beltus felt an unfamiliar chill.
Dereck’s eyes glowed with a strange light, and the magical energy radiating from him began to envelop the entire underground cellar.
To use magic of such scale with a body at its limit would inevitably bring aftereffects—he knew it.
But he couldn’t stop now that he had come this far.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Fina, who had just stepped out of the forest, stretched lazily.
Then, with a deafening roar, Dereck’s magical energy exploded.

Seeing her so relaxed after the catastrophe she had caused at the Beltus mansion made it clear she was far from a normal person.
She planned to pass through a nearby village, take a horse, and return to the Ravenclaw Barony—yes, that was the extent of her brazen thoughts.
Even she was beginning to believe the saying that there were no sane six-star mages.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
But the mansion’s appearance had changed drastically since she left.
As she walked through the clearing under the moonlight, she glanced toward the distant Beltus mansion.
The hellscape, covered in rampaging monsters and restless spirits, was just to her liking. alien She wondered when she’d next get to enjoy such chaos.
The moon shone brightly.

“Now that looks much better.”
Four-star combat magic—Large-Scale Spatial Freeze.
The main building, revealed beneath the silvery light, was completely frozen.

At that time, it was Melverot who used it, and wartime magic had always been distinguished by its colossal scale.
She crossed the clearing at an unhurried pace and disappeared into the darkness.
Humming a tune, Fina left the mansion behind.
“♬ ♩♪”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 139: 4-star (4) by Indra Translations.
Considering the horrors unfolding within, the contrast was truly ironic.
The sight of the frozen mansion under the moonlight was beautiful.
