Chapter 206 206: The End Of Lady Olivia



Olivia was confident that she could take anyone from the guild if they came to challenge her. She had prepared quite well and she had even contacted a lot of people.

Mother's Pearl was supposed to change the world for her.

But no matter how hard she had tried to harness the power of this mother's pearl; it had refused to react to her powers. It behaved like a harmless and normal stone when she held it.

So that was why she bated people with its power. She hoped that someone would be able to his her how to use this mother's pearl and then she would be able to utilize its powers.

Who knew that the grandmaster would end up coming after her before that even happened?

"Lady Olivia, you are a clever person. But you made the mistake of trying to fool me. And for that reason, you will have to suffer the consequences of your actions."

If Olivia had enough consciousness left in her brain, she would have fallen to the ground and begged for mercy.

But her body was frozen in shock and she tried to get her wits back. 

"I-I did what I had to gain your attention, grandmaster. You would not have looked my way otherwise."

Lady Olivia tried to get the grandmaster to see her way. She told him the truth this time and hoped that he would understand.

But the grandmaster only looked at Olivia like she was a bug and not worth his attention.

"You wanted to gain my attention and that was why you decided to steal from me? It was a foolish effort on your part."

"You see, I am not as good of a person as you all think I am. I do not take lightly my things being stolen."

The grandmaster looked angry at what was happening. 

Everyone presents around him flinched when they heard his angry voice. They were all thinking the same thing - Lady Olivia messed up badly.

"I-I never said you were a good person. B-But I am one of your guild master's grandmasters. Please show me mercy for being loyal to you all this time."

Master Olivia's tone had changed completely from the first time she had opened her mouth. She could not go against the grandmaster in words or actions.

But the grandmaster did not bulge from his decision.

"No, I have decided. You cannot be allowed to exist. Master Shinzou, kindly deals with Lady Olivia. I take back the status of her being a guild master."

Those words shattered something inside Olivia. She had tried so hard to win the grandmaster over. She had gone as far as to tarnish her dignity and her values.

And this was the result she got for all that? She could not accept this.

"No, I will not sit back and watch you all destroy me like this. I would rather kill you all with my own hands."

"You all thought that stealing the mother's pearl was something I did on my own? Well, that is not true. My patron helped me out. And he also gave me the power to make anyone bend to my will.'

Magic surged around Lady Olivier. She shined a familiar golden color and Keith could feel the divine magic blooming around her.

Once again, the gods were involved in his world. 

He did not know why, but the gods were becoming a bigger threat than they were supposed to be. The original work had not even hinted at the presence of gods beyond Veera.

"She had too much divinity inside her. Olivia's body will not be able to handle all that and she will end up falling."

Clair, the most knowledgeable about what was going on, quickly commented. She looked horrified to see Clair unleashing her powers.

"Hey, aren't fallen gods bad news? We need to kill her before she becomes fallen and traps us all into an agony-filled reality."

Keith remembered his first encounter with a fallen god. It had been beyond fearful for him. Keith had not been able to move once he had fallen under their spell.

A similar feeling of oppression filled his senses now. But unlike before, Keith was better at controlling his senses now. He also had the protection of divine magic to help him out.

"Shinzou, get the sword out. I will hold her in place while you attack."

Keith knew that if he attacked Master Olivia now, he would make the whole building collapse on top of his head. 

He did not care for anyone else's safety but his own. He knew he would be unable to cast the barrier on himself in time.

So, he had no choice but to rely on the Shinzou for the time being.

"I am ready grandmaster. Please give me the signal when you want me to attack."I think you should take a look at

Keith looked at the situation and then raised his hand. A barrier formed around Master Olivia and she tried to break it.

But her divinity had not become stable yet so she was not able to harm Keith's divine powers.

"Wow, I knew that you were special. But this is something else. You can use divine power as well. But aren't you human?"

Adrian asked Keith. His voice was filled with awe and suspicion when he looked at Keith.

Keith had no answer to give Adrian. But his party decided to inform Adrian of how 'great' he was.

"Grandmaster is a great person. He is special and you don't need to look so impressed just because he can use divine power. You will understand how special the grandmaster is once you spend enough time with him."

Hearing Amelia say that was a relief. It meant that Keith had at least one protagonist in his grasp.

"Hmmm, if you say that then I will believe it for now. Hey, look out."

Lady Olivia tried to break the barrier she was trapped in. Her nails scratched the invisible surface. But nothing happened.

All she did was bang her hand harder against the invisible surface and injure herself.

"Shinzou, do it now."

Keith ordered and Master Shinzou took out the divine sword. 

If Master Shinzou had second thoughts about killing his colleague, he did not show it on his face. His sword went through Master Olivia's chest and she let out one last scream before falling quiet forever.

"May you have a peaceful rest. Think about what you did wrong and make the right decisions in the next life."

Master Shinzou criticized the female on her deathbed. His eyes were cold and merciless when he turned around.

"Grandmaster, what should we do with this place? They just lost their master, so should we abandon this place?"

Keith had to think over this a little.

He was well aware that the normal people of this place had nothing to do with Master Olivia's plan. They had just been following her orders and nothing more.

But at the same time, Keith could not risk being betrayed once more. He needed to eliminate any signs of betrayal and back-fighting he could see.

"Master Shinzou, find a new master for this place. This time, find someone who is loyal and would not betray me no matter what. They will take care of this place."

Keith was sure that it was supposed to be his responsibility to look after this branch until a new master had been chosen.

But he was not going to do that for one simple reason - he was too lazy and did not know anything about looking after this place.

"Grandmaster, if you don't mind, give me this place. I will still take care of all your paperwork. But I think I can help this place recover."

Clair looked Keith in the eyes when she demanded this from him.

For someone who complained about her work all the time, this was a surprising decision on Clair's part. 

But Keith found himself not to be worried about why Clair was doing this. He trusted Clair to not betray him.

And whatever reason she wanted this place for herself did not matter to Keith.

"You want this place? Then take it. It is of no use to me. Master Shinzou, help Clair out with setting up this place. I will check if there is anything else that is dangerous here."

Keith wanted to see if there was another artifact, he could use to increase his power. 

He had used a lot of power but he still seemed to not be getting any better at controlling his powers.

And this place begged Keith to explore it. His instincts were telling him that there was a treasure buried inside this place somewhere. He just needed to find it.

"We all understand."

Everyone left Keith alone. Everyone but Adrian left the room as well.

And as soon as they were alone, Adrian turned toward Keith and raised his eyebrow.

"You can drop your act now. I know who you are."
