I Created Scientific Magic - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Too Small, Ivana

Translator: Lonelytree

Lin En blocked Ivana’s attack with his backhand and still did not answer her question.

Because he was already confused by the complicated relationship between the siblings. Lott’s diary did not mention this.

The sound of swords clashing rang out in the quiet manor. Normally, it would have attracted the attention of the butler and servants, but now, there was no one there.

This was also the reason why Lin En was not in a hurry to use Overload Mode or magic again.

“Is it strange? Father is not in the manor tonight. I have lured all the servants away. They will only know that the devil believer wanted by the Holy Court has barged into the manor tonight…” Ivana was like a mad demon, and her blade was like the wind as she kept slashing at Lyn’s sword, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and unwillingness she had accumulated.

Lin En’s expression was a little strange because the devil believer that the girl mentioned seemed to be him…

Boom ~~

Just as the two of them were fighting, a sudden explosion sounded from afar. Through the window sill on the third floor, a faint fire appeared on the west side of Harbor Town.

How could it be so fast?

Lin En’s expression changed. It was not the time to act yet. Could it be that the people from the Boat Gang couldn’t hold it in and made the first move?

“Where are you looking at? My brother?”

Taking advantage of the distraction, Ivana used a spinning slash to send the longsword in his hand flying, stabbing it straight into the crack in the wall.

Immediately after, the brown-haired girl raised her sword and slashed down again!

“Die!”

Ivana muttered to herself. Her dark golden eyes stared at Lin En, but there was not a trace of fear on his face.

Why?

Why wasn’t he afraid of death?

The brown-haired girl revealed a hesitant expression.

All these years, no matter how bad her attitude was, the man in front of her would only look at her with an especially pitiful gaze.

But she never needed charity.

She would take what she wanted herself!

All sorts of thoughts flashed through the girl’s mind. On the other side, Lin En, who felt threatened, had already stretched out his arm.

This moment seemed to be a replay of their first sparring battle.

But this time, no one was there to stop it. With a sharp wind sound, the slender blade had already reached the top of Lin En’s head!

However, Lin En’s movements were even faster. He reached out his right hand and grabbed Ivana’s wrist at a strange angle!

Then, he twisted it with all his might. A soft sound of bones dislocating echoed in the quiet corridor.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight and the rising flames intertwined, forming a devilish picture. Lin En took the opportunity to raise his leg and kick at Ivana’s abdomen.

Bang ~

With a dull thud, the girl’s body leaned back and crashed heavily into the wall.

How was this possible?

Ivana struggled to stand up again, a trace of blood slowly seeping out of the corner of her mouth. She did not care about the pain from her right wrist and abdomen and looked at Lin En in disbelief.

She had already used all his strength, but she was actually knocked to the ground so easily.

Ivana found it hard to accept this fact. Her left hand, which was still intact, held the sword and rushed over again.

“Sorry, my time is limited, Ivana…” Lin En dodged Ivana’s horizontal slash and grabbed the thin blade with his backhand. He elbowed the girl to the ground again and stabbed the blade at the girl’s fair neck.

Ivana’s pupils constricted. She could only watch as the silver-white sword got closer and closer to her, and her mind went blank.

Am I going to die?

The girl slowly closed her eyes.

Thinking back to how she had worked so hard, but in the end, she had to gamble everything to please the son of a duke, she felt that it was especially ridiculous. Perhaps this way, she would be free from this pain.

Ding ~

The sound of the sword tip touching the floor rang in her ears. Ivana opened her eyes in a daze and saw that Lin En was taking out a leather rope from behind and tying up her hands and feet.

“Aren’t you going to kill me?” Ivana looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar brother in front of her in a daze and asked in confusion.

“There’s no need. After today, you will never see me again…I think this should be to your liking.” Lin En explained casually. He dragged the rope that he had prepared for Adrian and threw Ivana into his room.

He wasn’t the real Lott, and he couldn’t deal with such a complicated sibling relationship. However, since Lott was willing to end this complication by committing suicide, Lin En naturally didn’t intend to interfere.

He also understood where Ivana’s hatred came from. She tried hard but could not resist her fate. She was destined to be a sacrifice for the revival of the Pedro family from the moment she was born.

However, the other party had clearly found the wrong target for their hatred. What really made the two of them suffer was Baron Pedro’s stubbornness and the foolish feudal system of the Saikas Empire.

Since she thought she was smart enough to transfer away the butler and servants in the mansion, she would stay here and reflect on herself.

After tonight, everything that happened to the Pedro family would have nothing to do with him.

Lin En turned around and was about to leave. Behind him, Ivana’s voice rang out again.

“Why? You have such strength, but you can’t pass the Knight’s assessment. Even the sparring with me…

“Is it because you pity me?” Ivana maintained her remaining self-esteem and questioned him in embarrassment and anger.

“Too small, Ivana…”Lin En turned his head and looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground in a sorry state. “Your talent in swordsmanship is very good, much better than anyone I’ve ever seen. However, your vision is limited to a small port town and a baron who can’t even inherit his territory.

“Outside the port town is the Nordland Territory. Outside the Nordland Territory is the Saikas Empire. Outside the empire is an even wider world…”

There were magic and divine arts in this world and countless secrets waiting for people to explore.

“Forget it. You probably won’t understand.” Without waiting for Ivana’s reply, Lin En shook his head.

To most of the inhabitants of this world, a town, a village, and a family were everything. This matter had nothing to do with him.

Ivana stared at Lin En’s back with a complicated expression until the door was tightly shut.

The girl was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she lowered her head and bit the cowhide rope that bound her hands, tearing it with all her might.

However, the rope made of special materials was very tough. Just using her teeth was useless. As she struggled, the girl’s legs slammed into the table leg beside her.

The black book on the table fell to the ground and rolled all the way to Ivana’s side.

The brown-haired girl froze on the spot. The words on the page were very scribbled, but Ivana recognized them at a glance as her brother Lott’s handwriting.

[Maybe without me, everything will be fine…]
