"Your arrogant attitude will take everything away from you."

"Including your life!"

Ronald's hostility towards the summoned creatures was unmistakable. However, the leader of these summoned beings seemed to believe there was still room for dialogue and continued to warn Ronald in a cautionary tone:

"Controlling your emotions is essential to becoming a Great Existence."

"You are no ignorant fool; why put yourself in such a dangerous situation?"

"..."

Ronald suddenly halted his steps.

If it were just a normal threat or warning, he naturally wouldn't care, but the words from the summoned creature mentioned a term he couldn't ignore—"Great Existence."

Ronald remembered it very clearly.

Long ago in Belenwood and Springs, he had often heard this name from the mouths of cultist magicians. Although he later inquired with Bapulor, the other's attitude towards this was quite vague.

In short, the Great Existence was what those cultist magicians believed in.

It was also likely a significant threat to the real world.

Ronald was in no hurry to take action now.

This summoned creature, who seemed to know something, actually claimed that he could become a Great Existence?

Just a little association.

Ronald felt a mess in his heart.

So he held the Sword of Saint Catherine in one hand and pointed it at the creature before him, with the sin of Greed immediately locking onto the summoned creature around him.

"What did you mean by Great Existence just now?"

"..."

The summoned creature was momentarily stunned by Ronald's question.

He didn't expect this powerful man in front of him not to know the concept of the Great Existence, making him unable to speak for a moment.

However, it was indeed the leader of these summoned creatures.

After regaining composure in just a few breaths, this guy continued:

"Humans—trees can shield from the wind and rain but cannot withstand fire; beasts can hibernate to avoid harsh seasons, but they cannot escape the law of the jungle; and while humans can grow stronger, they cannot resist the inherent aging and death."

"To completely transcend these concepts, you must abandon the shackles of your mortal bloodline and rise to become the supreme Great Existence."

"Wait, you hold on a second!"

Just as the leader of the summoned creatures was about to continue, Ronald suddenly interrupted.

Faced with this situation, the summoned creature seemed at a loss.

Clearly, the other party asked the question proactively, and now as he was explaining, why suddenly interrupt?

In fact, Ronald didn't feel much at first either.

He just treated it as listening to a story in a setting collection.

But when the summoned creature explained about abandoning the mortal bloodline, he couldn't stay calm at all.

"What do you mean by having to abandon your mortal bloodline?"

"What do you mean by not being able to resist aging and death?"

"This is just because you haven't reached the necessary technical level yet! Gene editing, consciousness uploading, can't these things solve the problem?"

"And if someone really abandons their racial identity for these things, I think that's really debatable!"

"..."

The leader of the summoned creatures was completely taken aback by Ronald's words.

He couldn't understand the gibberish of 'gene editing' or 'consciousness uploading,' so he just felt that this powerful man in front of him must have gone mad from studying spells too deeply!

"..."

"It really is like a chicken talking to a duck..."

Ronald had activated spell detection.

Noticing the attitude of the other party at this moment, he understood the absolute difference in their perceptions.

Well, there's nothing more to say.

He decided to slay all the other summoned creatures here first, and then 'ask' this guy for any information he knew.

With a decision made in his heart,

Ronald tightened his grip on the Sword of Saint Catherine.

Compared to the ordinary summoned creatures before, these elites before him shouldn't be so easy to deal with.

Then...

But Ronald didn't take action.

Instead, he looked upwards in surprise.

Because of the presence of human casters around, Ronald had reactivated the detection function of "Fury." And just at this moment, he noticed that right above him, a human was suddenly making their way towards their location!

Moreover, this newly appeared human...

Just like when Ronald broke through the ice layer, they were making their way down directly towards them.

Even...

Ronald faintly felt that this person's emotional fluctuations seemed somewhat familiar?

Could there really be someone coming to support in this hellish place?

Boom—

At that moment, as Ronald paused, and the summoned creature hesitated to attack,

the ceiling of the cave above them was instantly shattered by someone.

A jet-black, slender, and graceful figure.

Came leaping from the sky, then waved the long staff in their hand with one hand.

"So you guys were hiding here!"

"..."

"Wait... Audrey?"

Seeing the silhouette appear in front of him and addressing the summoned creatures, Ronald immediately understood everything.

Wasn't this the nun Audrey who had dealt with him a few times in Belenwood?

Why was this nun of the church who should theoretically be in the territory of Gred appearing here before him now?

"Mr. Ronald?"

Hearing the exclamation from behind, Audrey turned around and saw Ronald, her face equally revealing unrestrained surprise.

The Inspector nun also seemed completely surprised to encounter Ronald, whom she hadn't seen for months, in such a place!

Afterwards, Audrey's eyes scanned the surroundings.

She immediately understood from the positions and attitudes of Ronald and the summoned creatures around that Ronald was also here to deal with these summoned beings.

Since they were both part of the human alliance.

Other issues were no longer issues.

Having reached a judgment in her heart, Audrey immediately explained:

"Mr. Ronald, as you can see, I was sent by the church to assist Entrode's side."

"The invasion of summoned creatures into the human world has become an urgent matter."

"All humans should work together to solve this pressing issue."

Audrey's explanation was not detailed, but it was sufficient for Ronald.

So he nodded slightly.

Then he stepped forward to stand alongside Audrey.

"We can talk about the details later."

"For now, let's deal with these guys in front of us first."

Audrey didn't respond to Ronald with words, but instead chanted an incantation aloud, responding with action:

"The son of the Emperor loves and praises the daughter of the Xiang River, the lingering autumn wind, the murmuring Xiang River, the orchids and calamus of the Yuan and Li Rivers, you are the water lord cherished by the Nine Yi, glowing with brilliant light and sharing it with those far away!"
