"There is nothing serious."

Ronald immediately waved his hand towards Costate.

"I saw you just exploded that Treant, are Il and the others safe?"

Upon hearing Ronald's answer, the maid's expression finally returned to calm:

"Sir, my spell will send them to a safe location. Also, for several reasons, I extracted part of Il's soul, please accept it."

Costate said, handing a portion of the soul to Ronald.

Just like in Kurpis when dealing with Vilarnika, the maid seemed to greatly favor splitting souls to ensure safety.

Costate, this guy...

Could he have learned from some cult Magician's style?

Faced with the maid's actions, Ronald accepted Il's soul while his gaze returned to the beast below.

It lay weakly on the ground.

Although a large part of its body had already necrosed, such wounds still could not take its life, and the body was continuously repairing itself. As for those Treants...

To ensure the repair process was not interrupted.

The surviving Treants were frantically destroying everything around, striving to prevent enemies from interrupting the beast's body repair process.

Seeing this scene.

Ronald couldn't help but reveal a wry smile:

"I am really a bit curious—the team compiling the 'Organic Encyclopedia', what exactly did they experience during the work process? It definitely isn't something that can be explained by an apple falling on the head."

Costate immediately replied from the side:

"Sir, this should be a dust beast that was sleeping beneath Yizi Forest, awakened merely because it happened to resonate with the power of the 'Organic Encyclopedia', thus forming such a terrifying physique."

Ronald's gaze sharpened:

"A dust beast... is it the one you mentioned last time?"

Costate nodded in acknowledgment:

"Yes, it belongs to the same category as the one you saw previously in Springs."

"..."

Ronald remembered clearly.

At the beginning of his encounter with Costate, the other had commented on the incident that happened in Springs, and the term dust beast appeared at that time.

Now it seemed.

There was indeed a history to this creature?

Ronald's expression changed, and Costate immediately grasped his understanding and relayed the information he knew:

"According to my understanding, these beasts were originally present in this world but suddenly vanished from history after the appearance of humans. Only after the founding day did the originals start to appear in this world, and these formidable beings began to gradually revive, as if out of hibernation, attacking and encroaching on human territories."

Ronald continued to probe:

"If so, there should be historical records of them, right?"

After the Dark Age, it made sense that these dust beasts were concealed by the mystical side. But when Ronald reviewed the church records, he found no such records.

That was rather inexplicable.

However, Ronald's situation was different now from before.

In the past, isolated and without support, he had to find ways to learn about these hidden histories on his own. But now, the subservient Costak immediately provided him with answers:

"This is because the appearance of dust beasts is very special."

"In the Dark Age, once these beasts appeared, they would immediately destroy human cities, then use unique methods to transform the surrounding environment, concealing themselves within it."

"And by the time someone went to investigate—with the dust beast already gone and the environment altered—people would often attribute these events to natural disasters."

Ronald raised an eyebrow:

"So, how do you know about this?"

Costate answered calmly:

"Two hundred and seventy years ago, there was a cult Magician who heard about this 'ancient disaster' and thus took action, attempting to grasp the power to overturn the world from these legends."

"That fellow actually had quite some ability, and he really discovered a dust beast sleeping within his territory, then continued to conduct more research."

Hearing this, Ronald had already guessed:

"So that guy was left in Kurpis eventually?"

"Sir, that's not the case." Costate shook his head, "He deduced that Yizi Forest was actually a product influenced by the Dust Giant, so he chose a remote town near Yizi Forest, planning to carry out further work."

Ronald's expression was somewhat complicated:

"He...didn't pick Kurpis, did he?"

Costate's expression was cold:

"After I killed him, I extracted his memory. The name Dust Giant was coined by him."

"..."

"You are really something!"

"Sir, you flatter me."

After Ronald couldn't help 'praising' Costate, he no longer dwelled on it. Knowing the origin of the giant creature below, he simply asked Costate:

"Now, this guy has lost the ability to change the weather."

"Costate, you can fly high up and create a rainfall around here without any problem, right?"

Costate immediately understood Ronald's plan:

"Sir, the 'Rain Mist Divine Hammer' is indeed a very good choice. After I change the weather, I recommend that you try to destroy the head of this Dust Giant."

As soon as these words were spoken, Costate immediately flew into the sky.

This acceleration was so fast that Ronald didn't even have time to hear the other party recite the spell clearly.

"..."

"Whew—"

Watching Costate disappear from view.

Ronald took a deep breath, and an ancient stone slab immediately appeared in his hands.

While continuing to stabilize the magic power inside his body, he watched the sky quietly, waiting for the right moment to take action.

Woo woo woo—

It wasn't long before Costate had gone up that the roaring Gale once again descended.

It was accompanied by a strong magic fluctuation in the air.

Thanks to the residual effects left from controlling the weather earlier, Costate's process of altering the air currents went even smoother than before, and the lingering clouds immediately began to coalesce.

"..."

Snap—

Silently waiting for a moment.

A chill suddenly crossed Ronald's face as water droplets from the sky fell on him—it had started to rain.

"In that case..."

"Will the 'Rain Mist Divine Hammer' also be considered a standard attack method in the future?"

Feeling the raindrops falling on his face and intensifying.

Ronald shook his head with a smile.

His fingers also gently brushed over the text on the stone slab.

"..."

The next second. A spell was recited from Ronald's mouth, his solemn voice echoing through the rain:

"The sky falls clear during the day,

The earth splits from the edge,

The name of the son of man is yet to be determined;

Nu is the sky,

..."

However, just as Ronald's fingers reached the end of the stone slab and the spell was about to be completed.

An unfamiliar voice.

At this moment, it rang in Ronald's mind:

"Human, stop."

"Killing me will cause consequences you cannot reverse!"
