Carries the girl out of the room.

Ronald gently places the nun he held onto the ground, maintaining a gentle demeanor.

Rescued from a predicament.

Despite her frightened expression showing some excitement, the girl's emotions mostly reflect confusion about her current situation and circumstances.

Seeing this, Ronald chooses not to speak further.

Because if he guessed correctly,

the girl has been imprisoned here for a hundred years, and her current state is entirely understandable. Experiencing this without mental collapse is already a rare miracle!

Normally,

Ronald would not mind comforting her mental state a bit.

But unfortunately, the current environment is not suitable.

There are still two hidden, lurking casters of the Nine Commandments nearby in the ruins, ready to act. Amidst the battle, Ronald definitely doesn't have the luxury to specifically care for this nun.

Thus, he uses a spell from "Purgatory" to guide the nun's mindset towards a positive and optimistic trend, then draws a circle on the ground, gesturing her not to step outside of it.

He then turns and leaves, continuing to pursue the other two enemies.

At this moment, the nun still appears somewhat bewildered.

She looks at Ronald, seemingly wanting to say something, but after noticing the circle surrounding her, she ultimately chooses silence and quietly waits for the situation to unfold.

"…"

A few minutes pass after leaving the nun.

During this time, Ronald maintains a careful and meticulous approach but still does not find any trace of his enemies in the underground ruins.

The two enemies from the Nine Commandments have been entrenched here for a long time, and their familiarity with the terrain far exceeds Ronald's, making the search difficult as expected.

Just when Ronald is pondering whether to enter the lowest level of the underground third space,

Click—

A faint sound suddenly comes from above Ronald's head.

Only his superior perceptiveness allows him to notice this nearly nonexistent noise.

Ronald looks up.

Above him, there's a solid underground dome, showing no trace of human activity.

Yet, within the terrain mapped by the "Star Map" spell, right above Ronald is an underground tunnel leading to the surface, one of the tunnels he purposely blocked before coming down!

"Ha, caught you." Ronald's lips curve into a smile, confirming that his previous setup was indeed correct.

And unlike the confrontation on the surface earlier,

after a period of pursuit and search, Ronald's spells have now fully recovered, allowing him to use them freely.

In this situation,

the enemies have lost all chances of defeating or escaping from here!

"The greatest improvement in productive labor, and the application of greater proficiency, skill, and judgment in labor, appear to be the result of division of labor..."

Magic power is mobilized from within him, and Ronald successfully casts the "Invisible Hand" spell.

Rumble—

The moment this spell takes effect is when its power is strongest.

Especially with Ronald's abundant magic power fueling it, its effect is not to be underestimated.

As the spell succeeds,

the underground dome above Ronald collapses with a crash, as if an invisible giant punched through it, forcefully creating a massive hole.

In the next instant,

rocks and soil fall down like raindrops, seemingly about to bury the entire ruins once again.

Facing this scene, Ronald waves his hand.

A strong gust of wind blows over, redirecting the falling stones and debris to the empty ground outside the ruins' boundaries.

"…"

Having completed this, Ronald quietly observes the hole above.

This is the blocked tunnel leading to the surface, and also the origin of the sound he heard moments ago.

After a few breaths,

Ronald does not see the casters from the Nine Commandments fall from above.

Instead, an exceptionally abnormal magic fluctuation rushes at him!

"Huh?"

Ronald can only let out a quizzical exclamation.

This spell arrives without any trajectory, directly affecting its target.

Even though Ronald possesses reaction speeds far beyond human limits,

it's entirely impossible to evade an instantaneous spell like this.

In an instant, a dizziness from the depths of his soul appears in his mind, triggering memories for Ronald.

In the ruins at Lachmont, he encountered this move while engaging Great Mage Shui—a spell derived from the "Essence Theory" concerning soul narratives, capable of attacking the enemy's soul directly!

Fortunately, the "Divine Comedy" held by Ronald also possesses similar capabilities.

So, after a brief moment of disorientation, he quickly adjusts his state, his eyes regaining clarity.

Then, Ronald sees two figures descending towards him from above.

—They are the two enemies from the Nine Commandments!

Realizing the passage for escape was blocked by Ronald, these two don't ponder further on ways to leave from here.

Instead, they decisively create an opportunity and launch an all-out attack against Ronald!

"Good! Well done!"

Despite standing on opposite sides, Ronald can't help but praise them.

Battling opponents who bravely challenge an undefeatable enemy is far more satisfying than facing those dark-minded, sneaky individuals.

As a response to the brave challenge from these two enemies,

Ronald unreservedly activates his spell, once again imbuing the power of "Solar Force" onto Saint Catherine's sword.

Boom—

With one swing, scorching holy fire erupts within the confined underground, illuminating the entire space.

The two enemies descending see the attack and don't attempt to evade, instead unleashing potent magic fluctuations in return, confronting Ronald's spell directly!

"…"

A moment of silence fills everyone's ears.

Such intense clash would typically cause loud noises.

But within this confined space, the sound increases remarkably as it reverberates repeatedly, even causing temporary hearing loss.

After several seconds, the flames and intense noise dissipate from the underground. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ronald remains unscathed, standing firmly.

And not far in front of him, a stranger caster stands seriously on the left side—it's the one who just saved their ally.

On Ronald's right side, the holder of "Essence Theory" lies on the ground.

During the previous encounter, he bore the brunt of the confrontation, unsurprisingly being severed in two by Ronald's sword, now motionless.

A normal person would undoubtedly be fatally wounded.

But Ronald has faced the holder of "Essence Theory" in Lachmont before and has experience on this.

Therefore, he doesn't immediately attack the other person.

Instead, he seizes the momentum, swinging his blade towards the holder of "Essence Theory" again!
