"Damn it!"

"Get out of the way!"

Ronald's action of swinging his sword at the "dead man" indeed left the two Casters from the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] shocked.

They never expected that Ronald would be so familiar with the original spells of the "Essence Theory" that he could see through their feigned weakness.

Originally, the plan was devised in a critical moment.

Now, it is declared bankrupt within the relentless swinging of the sword blade.

At this moment, the unscathed Caster beside him reacted decisively, crouching down and slamming a hand on the ground.

In front of Ronald.

The holder of "Essence Theory," who seemed motionless, split in two and fell to the ground, once again erupted with strong magic power. The spell that disassembles everything reappeared, surrounding his body to protect the Caster itself.

However, Ronald was not deterred by this at all.

In the horrified gaze of the Casters from the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting], he charged into the range of the opponent's spell, unscathed!

The disassembling ability was ineffective against Ronald at this moment.

Because he had decisively activated [Human Reason Boundary] to protect himself, the sword blade mercilessly slashed towards the opponent's body.

After all, Ronald clearly remembered the last spell cast by Grand Mage Shui,

the Complete Technique—[Immortal Substance].

Now, the people from [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] held the same origin, and this spell was undoubtedly within their grasp. Although halfway through they had to interrupt the unfolding of the spell due to Ronald's pursuit.

But as it continued, this guy succeeded in casting [Immortal Substance] to strengthen his state.

That was indeed a tricky issue for Ronald.

After all, even in the historical loop of [Lakmont], Ronald only defeated the opponent by directly attacking the caster, circumventing the Immortal Substance.

This thing is just like the Klein shield he encountered on the ground earlier.

Though they differed in nature, both were strong defensive spells with difficult-to-defeat characteristics.

Crack—

At that instant, just as Ronald's sword blade was about to fall.

The ground he stood on collapsed again!

An action by the other Caster from [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting].

Witnessing Ronald's relentless pursuit, about to strike down their companion, this guy wasn't going to stand idly by either.

At this moment, that Caster crouched down, pressing his palm on the ground.

Precisely to cast his spell, rescuing his nearly immobile caster companion!

In the subsequent sight, it was just like the ground spell before.

After a strong magic fluctuation flashed, the ground of the middle layer in the third basement space also collapsed with a thunderous noise.

The three battling individuals didn't have the opportunity to cast the Flying Spell in that instant, only able to fall to the next lower space amidst the clattering debris.

Wait!

Is he alright?

In that instant, Ronald immediately withdrew his consciousness from the battle.

He hadn't forgotten about the peculiar nun he had just rescued, so he glanced towards her position.

Perhaps due to the tense situation, the Caster from [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] who was rescuing his companion failed to properly control the range of his spell's impact, nearly the entire surface of the central layer was completely disassembled by his spell.

As everything fell.

Several special rooms protected by spells fell in an integral form, clattering downwards, and the nun whom Ronald saved was grasping the remaining ground with a panicked expression, falling down with the surrounding debris.

Upon close observation, one could even see the tears of fear at the corners of her eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Sigh—"

"Starting from the relationship between the Earth and the sky, we will begin to construct our cognition..."

Ronald sighed, chanting an incantation.

He could have used this opportunity to bring the enemy from [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] in front of him.

But he couldn't just let an innocent person die.

Especially as the ground the nun was holding onto happened to be within the circle he drew for her.

Swoosh—

The next second, amidst the falling dirt and stones, the nun and the rock under her received safe protection.

Using the spells from "Astronomy Master," Ronald sent her to a safe place on the ground before turning his gaze to the enemy below.

He saw the holder of "Essence Theory."

The grin on the opponent's broken body, and yet still insistently chanting incantations.

This Caster's spell capability was definitely inferior to Grand Mage Shui.

After all, the time he took to cast [Immortal Substance] was far longer than the Grand Mage from the late Dark Age.

But this tenacious attitude was truly moving.

From the start of the battle until now, he finally completed his own spell sequence, thoroughly activating the Complete Technique that is troublesome to cast here.

Rumble——

Amidst the enormous rumbling, the three battling individuals fell into the deepest layer along with the debris.

Among them, Ronald possessed the strongest physical capabilities.

He could excellently control his body during the fall and stood intact on the ground in the end.

But the state of the holder of "Essence Theory" was much worse.

His body, damaged beyond recognition, was already at his limits just maintaining the chanting of incantations. As he fell with the debris, his body, already split in two, was directly buried.

Only the still active magic fluctuation proved that this caster still hadn't died.

Ronald was silent, raising his Longsword and slashing at the rubble before him.

Clang—

A clear clash echoed from the sword, and Ronald felt the indestructible hardness of these rocks.

The earlier decision to rescue.

Indeed allowed this Caster to successfully cast [Immortal Substance].

Originally burying him could have, perhaps, led to his death, but under the control of [Immortal Substance], the rocks transformed into an indestructible defensive fortress.

No matter how much effort Ronald put in.

He couldn't destroy and enter it to finish off the fragmented, nearly gasping enemy completely.

"Last time it was seawater, now it's soil, huh..."

Ronald chuckled bitterly and shook his head.

Between saving a life and allowing the enemy to cast their spell, he had no regrets about his choice.

However, the current battle differed completely from when he was in [Lakmont].

Back then, he used the conductive nature of seawater to defeat Grand Mage Shui lurking below the sea surface, thereby forcing the disappearance of the original spell effect.

—And now?

Perhaps he should shout to Costate above for a heavy rain.

Although the conductivity of the ground differed from seawater.

But if exerted enough force, it might not be impossible to strike the enemy below with lightning?

Click—

As Ronald mused, footsteps sounded from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw that indeed, the last unscathed person from the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] was standing behind him with a solemn expression.

Ronald's expression relaxed.

Because he also unmistakably detected the aura of [Immortal Substance] on the opponent!
