It's all over...
Kangdingrant's bifurcated body loses vitality and finally falls downward.
Ronald stands in the air.
He bows in silent tribute to the governor who once tried to save his country.
From Kangdingrant's perspective, his choice undoubtedly followed his lifelong pursuit.
It's just a pity that the motives of the cult sorcerer are ultimately not trustworthy.
Even if Ronald was willing to stand as a third-party force, silently observing everything happening in Waterfall City, he could not remain indifferent to the so-called 'great entity' that descended.
At this moment, Ronald felt quite emotional.
But since the matter here was resolved, he naturally turned his attention back to Phil, who was hiding in the street by the lake.
So after a brief moment of silent tribute, Ronald immediately turned around and quickly returned in the direction he came from.
Click—
Suddenly, Ronald's keen hearing picks up a faint, slight sound.
And what catches his attention.
Is the direction from which this slight sound came was actually from the position where Kangdingrant had just fallen into the lake below!
"It's not over yet?"
Ronald's expression was somewhat incredulous.
Because, in his keen perception, Kangdingrant had indeed completely lost his life, and even the probing effect of [Greed's Original Sin] was automatically canceled due to his death.
Is what the cult sorcerers believe in really that formidable?
Can it still cause havoc even when the descending entity has completely died?
Suspended in the air, looking down, Ronald immediately discovered Kangdingrant's bifurcated corpse now floating on the lake water.
It's just that unlike Ronald's perception, which was completely lifeless.
On Kangdingrant's corpse, blue stripes like marble cracks continuously spread over the entire body, beginning to emit unusually beautiful light. This change seemed like some simple physical phenomenon, with no interference from any mysterious magic power.
Did the previous ritual change Kangdingrant's basic body structure?
Boom!
Such a thought had just emerged when Ronald knew he was wrong.
Because from when he looked down, in less than a breath, the light on Kangdingrant's corpse accelerated its spread, then completely turned the bifurcated corpse into a special substance emitting continuous light.
After this scene, what followed was an explosion!
Kangdingrant's corpse, as if unable to bear the power of this blue light, shattered into particles so fine that it couldn't be observed instantaneously within the blue light, and the energy contained within it erupted directly at this moment.
"It's magic power..."
The shock came head-on.
Ronald was pushed several meters in the air, stabilizing his body before realizing what this blue light truly meant.
The magic power gathered throughout the city through the ritual had not vanished with Kangdingrant's death. Instead, it continued lurking on Kangdingrant's corpse in a way Ronald couldn't understand and proceeded with some very special transformation process.
And just in this extremely short period.
This process was completed.
Thus, the inert Kangdingrant corpse turned to dust at this moment.
The strong magic power detached from its carrier would only disperse in such a direct and violent way.
Ronald didn't even need to think much.
Just watching all the changes occurring below him, he was very certain—something was really about to descend here!
"Damn it!"
He raised the Saint Catherine Sword to his chest.
Naturally, Ronald was ready to face the enemy that was about to appear below.
But just as he made a defensive posture and awaited in readiness, the surrounding blue magical light spilled over and completely obscured his vision.
"Humph!"
Ronald snorted coldly, immediately preparing to cast a spell to deal with this situation.
However, before he could utter the incantation, the blue light that had just obscured his view vanished from his surroundings as if it had never appeared.
"..."
Meanwhile.
Even more unbelievable things continued to happen around Ronald.
In this instant when reaction seemed impossible.
The location he found himself in was not above Waterfall City's lake water.
But somehow, in a completely unknown way, Ronald was transported to a sea surface lit by twinkling starlight.
Looking up, above him was a brilliant galaxy; around him was a boundless expanse with no perceivable change; beneath him was the sea reflecting all the scene.
Standing in such a place with a small stature.
Ronald felt nothing but the vastness and greatness of the world, without sensing the presence of anything. In the seawater beneath him, no trace of marine life could be seen.
Even Bradshaw's Railway Guide activated in reaction at this moment.
– This is definitely not normal space.
– Have I encountered a space transfer? Or a spell seal?
When the magic power was unleashed earlier, he encountered this situation amid inexplicable change...
"What is that?"
Just then, Ronald suddenly looked up.
The [Instinct] spell of "Origin of Species" appeared for the second time within the day, which was rare.
And this crisis warning was even more terrifying than the previous one!
– The danger is coming from the radiant starry sky above Ronald's head.
– Something indescribably massive is descending from above, and it will certainly bring him irreversible destruction!
Run!
He must flee immediately!
Aware of the danger he was in, Ronald wasted no time in pulling out Bradshaw's Railway Guide, directly activating the defense against these kinds of effects.
Wuu wuu wuu—
Clang clang clang clang—
Among the steam-spraying white mist, a railway was laid out from the void, closely followed by a train arriving in front of Ronald.
Ronald immediately jumped onto the train, and before the unknown crisis could arrive, this spell that transported him to a special time-space abruptly ended.
"..."
Above the lake water of Waterfall City.
Ronald's figure stepped out of the void back to the original ground.
The place he stood was exactly where he had been transported away from.
With a shocked look still lingering, Ronald glanced down and saw the result caused by the previous corpse mutation.
– Kangdingrant was standing on the lake water.
The body turned to powder by blue magical impact was restored to its original state, and the injuries from Ronald splitting it in half disappeared. At this moment, even the ritual-induced flesh expansion effect was gone from Kangdingrant's body.
Standing on the lake with the original human posture.
He gently looked up at Ronald and showed a look of surprise mixed with admiration:
"Human, you actually returned?"
Upon hearing this, Ronald's heart sank.
Kangdingrant wouldn't use the word 'human' to refer to him!
The governor who sacrificed for Entrod had truly vanished from this world at this moment.
As for the one below...
It was a complete monster!
