"The crystal-like stars encircle the world: bearing the name of the world's rare and invaluable monarch..."

Confronting Kangdingrant, standing steadily on the lake surface with a menacing gaze.

Ronald, in a rare occurrence, recited the incantation of [Saturn's Heaven] from his lips, utilizing the enhanced magic power output to showcase the formidable [Chariot of the Gods] posture from "Divine Comedy" spells.

Immediately, three pairs of pure white wings unfolded behind him.

The holy and powerful magic formed a protective shield around his body, while the [Power of Sunday] coiled around him, beginning to emit a dazzling golden holy flame.

At this moment, he stood in the air above the lake as if out of nowhere.

Ronald appeared like a brilliant star descended to the mortal realm, overlooking the gradually inhuman form of Kangdingrant from above.

The situation no longer allowed for any conversation.

As the holder of the original canon, Ronald could clearly sense numerous unspeakable 'existences' added to Kangdingrant, with their quantity even seriously overwhelming Kangdingrant himself!

Even though the opponent still managed to issue a warning to Ronald in such a manner.

But it was foreseeable—before long, Kangdingrant would be entirely eroded by the entities within his body and transform into a complete monster!

Ronald...

Was left with no choice but to slay him.

"Ronald, I gave you a chance!"

Seeing this reaction from Ronald in the air.

Kangdingrant, standing on the lake, could not be unaware of the opponent's choice.

However, at this moment, the original canon holder was still sensing his brand new powers and attempting to control them, so he didn't immediately choose to act.

After integrating the power of the entire ritual into his body.

Kangdingrant could feel a chaotic and disorderly power roaming throughout his body, constantly eroding his consciousness. Yet, paradoxically, this extremely bad feeling brought with it a genuine enhancement of power.

Using himself as an example.

Kangdingrant felt that his current self could at least achieve a level of one-on-three when facing his previous, fully intact state!

This leap in strength.

Taking on someone like Ronald, the top-tier original canon holder, might not pose an issue...

"Ah ah ah!"

Kangdingrant suddenly howled aloud.

At this moment, he felt a piercing pain in his chest.

The reason was simple—

Because, in the brief moments his thoughts wandered, Ronald had approached his front at unimaginable speed, raising his jet-black longsword and stabbing it into Kangdingrant's heart!

This pain stemmed from the terrifying sensation of having his heart pierced by the sword!

"..."

Kangdingrant expressed immense agony.

However, in front of this original canon holder, Ronald did not feel joy from this.

Because this sword penetration was just too smooth!

Although the [Chariot of the Gods] stance greatly enhanced Ronald's combat prowess, he didn't believe such fortification would allow him to breakthrough so easily, like he did against the earlier solid-as-steel body.

But based on the real situation,

Ronald sensed from the sword's attack touch that, at this moment, Kangdingrant's flesh was even more fragile than that of an ordinary human.

How is this possible?!

"..."

In silence, Ronald planned to withdraw Saint Catherine's sword to continue attacking.

Yet, when he attempted to pull the saint's relic from Kangdingrant's chest, a massive strength greatly hampered his speed.

Kangdingrant's pierced flesh.

Felt as if a powerful giant hand grasped Saint Catherine's sword's dark blade tight within!

"Let go of me!"

Realizing the danger, Ronald urgently shifted his stance, gripping the longsword with both hands in a flag-pulling stance, and with both feet, he kicked Kangdingrant hard.

Crack—

With this all-around exertion posture

Ronald finally managed to yank Saint Catherine's sword out of the opponent's body.

Bang!

Just a second later,

Kangdingrant lunged forward with his hands, missing, then clapped them together, producing a terrifying collision sound.

"..."

Using the momentum from this action, Ronald flew backward several meters. After steadying himself again, he focused his gaze.

Only to find that Kangdingrant himself appeared somewhat puzzled.

Just like the special power within Kangdingrant's body, his physical form was also undergoing a process of extremely chaotic and disorderly change. One second, he might possess a body as solid as indestructible by Saint Catherine's sword; the next second, he might turn into a body as fragile as a baby's.

This change was chaotic and unordered, something even Kangdingrant himself couldn't accurately control.

At that moment, as if by instinct, Kangdingrant suddenly raised his right hand high.

Although the length of the arm couldn't possibly reach Ronald's position, Kangdingrant still aimed at the enemy several meters away, then slashed his palm down through the air.

Swoosh—

In an instant, the sound of a sharp object slicing through the air erupted explosively above the lake.

As Kangdingrant's attack target, Ronald could clearly see the original canon holder's palm transform, from human body structure, into a long, slender flesh whip at an indescribable speed.

Then swiftly swung over with a speed ready to cleave everything, directly towards Ronald's front.

The [Human Body Construction] spell doesn't allow for this kind of transformation?

In that moment,

such a thought flashed through Ronald's mind.

At the same time, he swiftly avoided Kangdingrant's bizarre arm's chopping strike.

Though not as fast as Kangdingrant's beyond-limit reaction speed.

Ronald, with the enhancement of the [Instinct] spell from "The Origin of Species," barely managed to contend with this rapid assault.

Boom!

Kangdingrant's arm attack hit empty space, then ferociously plunged into the lake.

This strike, so powerful, split nearly a hundred meters of lake open from the center, revealing an abyss, the two standing on the surface could even clearly see the lakebed's silt and fish and shrimp.

"..."

Witnessing the result of the opponent's strike.

Ronald was speechless for a moment.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to slash the lake with one stroke, but the lake cut by Kangdingrant's palm still maintained such a state after the momentum dissipated, showing no sign of closing.

This defied logic.

The opponent's attack must contain some hidden special abilities!

The next time they engage, he must be extremely cautious to ensure he is not affected by Kangdingrant's bizarre abilities.

As Ronald firmed his resolve.

An unexpected change occurred right before him.

Having just unleashed such a terrifying strike, Kangdingrant suddenly grabbed his head with both hands, then wailed in a voice filled with immense pain:

"Ah ah ah—"
