"Hm?"

Was he planning to flee with the four human casters, or to grab some hostages as a threat?

Seeing the other's movements.

Ronald instantly realized two possibilities.

But regardless of this guy's intentions, there was no way he would let him act freely.

So as soon as the thought surfaced in his mind.

Ronald activated the fastest Heavenly Chapter spell, which could appear instantly with just a thought.

Boom—

The spell activated in an instant.

Just a second before the leader of the summoned creatures was about to grab the human casters.

The hard walls of the cave suddenly collapsed.

Tearing open a fissure in the ground, the four human casters, along with the fungi and rocks on them, fell into a pitch-black abyss of unknown depth.

"... "

"Human! Don't think you can control everything!"

Watching as the humans they were about to capture slipped away.

The metal puppet-like summoned creature roared angrily, then without looking back, swatted towards Ronald's position with a swing of its arm.

Clang—

The sound of metal clashing exploded in the cave.

Ronald naturally wasn't afraid of the enemy's attacks.

Gripping the Saint Catherine's Sword tightly, he struck towards the opponent's palm with intense Sunlight Power.

But this summoned creature was indeed the leader here.

Its strength was undeniably at the highest level.

After turning into this metal puppet form, its body was impressively hard.

Even the Saint's legacy that Ronald had been using for a long time couldn't cut it apart just relying on its sharp edge.

However, there was still a difference in the power between them.

After this brief, rapid clash, for the first time in today's battle, Ronald retreated a step due to the impact, then immediately adjusted his stance to regain physical balance.

As for the leader of the summoned creatures...

The giant metal puppet body was directly blown away by the sword, smashing heavily against the cave wall.

Though it didn't lose combat ability like the stone giant before.

Using both hands to break away from the wall.

It quickly suppressed the Sunlight Power on its palm, while recovering its energy, keeping a firm gaze on Ronald across the cave.

But at this moment.

The fear in its eyes had significantly diminished.

The confrontation did put the summoned creatures at a disadvantage, but Ronald had not managed to kill it in one strike, and he also stepped back.

Viewing this scene.

The other summoned creatures around, at least weren't entirely filled with despair regarding the battle's outcome.

Rustle–rustle—

Meanwhile.

Two other agile summoned creatures instantly darted towards Ronald.

Having endured so much without opting to flee, the remaining summoned creatures had made their stance on fighting clear; now they aimed to buy time for their leader to recover, attempting to find a way to defeat this man.

"You all, so fearless in the face of death…"

"Make me seem like some kind of villain…"

Faced with such an ambush, Ronald wore a rather helpless expression.

He indeed admired such attitude.

But his stance as a human couldn't waver.

Thus, facing both summoned creatures attempting to ambush him, Ronald raised his hand, Saint Catherine's Sword drawing an arc from above to below in front of him.

Whoosh—

In an instant.

Burning flames erupted in the cave.

This time, as he swung the Saint's legacy, Ronald channeled a massive amount of magic power to fortify the Sunlight Power, with a sudden burst of solar flame consuming everything before it.

Just a few seconds passed.

The flame's blinding glow faded into the air.

While in front of Ronald.

The two previously attempting ambushers were now completely unseen.

Under the burning power-enhanced Sunlight Power, not even a trace of their ashes remained.

"Ronald, watch out over here!"

Suddenly, Audrey shouted loudly from the battlefield's side.

Her battle was altered abruptly.

The summoned creatures fighting the Inspector nun definitely kept an eye on the overall battlefield change.

Currently they could use their combat strength to stall Audrey.

While also possessing reserve forces not yet participating.

But following Ronald's sword strike, these reserved summoned creatures couldn't continue idly, charging towards Ronald heedlessly.

This was the reason Audrey suddenly called out.

From the summoned creatures' perspective, the combat power gap was evident.

If they didn't reallocate the combat personnel in both areas.

Even if they could exhaust Audrey with numbers, Ronald might wipe out the other companions beforehand.

Thus, combat distribution had to be adjusted.

The choice was a flank attack from left and right.

If Ronald could be defeated.

Then dealing with Audrey would become much easier.

"… "

"Beginning from the relationship with the earth and sky, our understanding shall commence!"

At this moment.

The Astronomy Master's incantation resonated underground.

Watching the summoned creatures, each employing distinct attack types, assaulting him.

Out of respect for such fearless enemies.

And for his own safety.

Ronald immediately activated the Equilibrium Wheel spell, controlling the creature striking from the right, and colliding it towards the left in a sweeping arc.

Thud—Thud—Thud—

The power of such foundational spells was not something human strength could resist.

With the summoned creature's body driven to leap in mid-air, drawing a perfect arc and crashing at unguardable speeds into its companion.

Then a series of collision sounds echoed, several clashing summoned creatures in a tangled mess, pushed by spell power flying backwards, stopping only upon hitting the wall.

Subjected to such immense force.

They no longer had the chance to stand and fight.

"… "

"Looks like it's time to wrap up."

Having completed this attack, Ronald exhaled lightly.

In the battle thus far, only seven summoned creatures still retained the capability to act.

The metal puppet form leader; three that had been brewing some attack from the outset, yet to make a move; and three entangling Audrey showing signs of exhaustion.

These were the last surviving forces of the enemy—

Immediately.

Ronald once again mobilized his inner magic power.

Walking towards the remaining enemies, his fingers slid gently across the blade of Saint Catherine's Sword.

The Sunlight Power extinguished during battle reignited with Ronald's movement.

This igniting sunlight glow.

Reflected the final desperate gazes of the remaining summoned creatures.
