"With that look... are you planning to have a good time with me?"

Ronald was on guard against the 'Kangdingrant' below, but the other party seemed very relaxed.

At first, he waved at Ronald with a friendly demeanor.

Then this guy continued:

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this."

"If it weren't for you driving away those little guys, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to descend upon such an excellent vessel."

As he finished speaking, the non-human entity on the lake raised its palm in front of it and nodded with a satisfied expression.

This guy's words and actions were clear—he was very satisfied with Kangdingrant's body!

If it had been the evil cult magician before, maintaining the ritual hosting work, then the vessel it descended upon would have been prepared by the cult's magician. Although the result wouldn't have been too different in that case, it would never have been possible to obtain a body as powerful as Kangdingrant, the holder of such an original.

Shwoosh—

Immediately, a flash of light appeared on the palm of this non-human existence, and an ancient and heavy manuscript appeared before it.

——It was "Human Body Construction."

After Kangdingrant's death, this unknown existence occupying his body also brought this original under its control; everything seemed so self-evident.

"Human Body Construction, author André Vésale..."

The next second, above the Waterfall City's lake.

Ronald clearly heard the voice of this unknown entity.

After summoning "Human Body Construction," this guy immediately began reading the text with clear articulation and fluent sentences. Language barriers clearly weren't a problem for such an existence.

The fact was simple yet grave—the other party was mastering the spells, or rather, the knowledge in "Human Body Construction."

What made Ronald even more tense was the method of recitation he heard from the opponent.

Ronald didn't simply rely on his exceptional hearing to directly hear the reading from the human figure above the lake. Instead, as the opponent spoke, the concept of transmitted information simultaneously echoed in Ronald's ear!

For the existence on the lake, language and sound seemed to have a different meaning.

Just the action of opening its mouth to speak.

It could bring an accurate and realistic concept impact to those directly observing its actions.

"..."

An unprecedented enemy!

The form of the opponent's power was even completely different from any enemies he had faced before.

Can normal attack methods really be effective against this guy?

Ronald was somewhat unsure.

But since the enemy was already before him, the ensuing battle was inevitable. While he reorganized his many spells, he also reactivated the recently canceled [Greed Original Sin] and locked the target onto the human figure on the lake.

——Consciousness Projection.

——Dimensional Unfolding Mode.

——Projecting will information through the summoning ritual to a low dimension, restricted by environmental factors, only allowing limited ability exertion.

...

Even so... still limited ability exertion?

Ronald's eyebrows twitched violently twice.

Just from this first impression after meeting, he knew how extraordinarily unreasonable the opponent was, and now looking at the information locked by [Greed Original Sin], it was the result of the opponent being restricted!

"This world seems to have quite a lot of people who are fond of me?"

Just as Ronald was contemplating how to deal with the enemy, the 'Kangdingrant' standing on the lake slapped the pages closed with a snap, and the original disappeared from his hand.

After completing this action, he raised his head to look at Ronald again:

"I just learned, your name is Ronald, right?"

"So, how about having a nice chat with me? I'm quite interested in this world."

Ronald immediately responded with a probing question:

"Of course, there's no problem with chatting."

"But before that, I'd like to know your so-called interest in this world and what you plan to do next."

"Hahaha—"

Ronald's response seemed to please the 'Kangdingrant' on the lake.

The guy laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and hardly concealed the admiration in his eyes for Ronald:

"Ronald, hmm, that's a good question!"

"My interest in this world, of course, starts with further understanding everything from the underlying rules."

"As for what to do, let's start by analyzing the rules!"

"For example, studying this oddly structured sky, collecting samples of various creatures to determine their status. Perhaps there will be suitable targets to use as trade goods, right?"

The responses from 'Kangdingrant' were normal to an unusual degree.

But particularly for the last sentence, Ronald noticed a subtle undertone in the opponent's voice.

"Becoming trade goods... does that include humans?"

"Of course not including humans!" Kangdingrant shook his head naturally, "Humans don't need confirmation of status. In all worlds, sentient beings that have transcended primal instincts are the best trade commodities."

"Isn't that an obvious matter?"

"..."

"The greatest improvement in productive labor, as well as the greater skill, dexterity, and judgment shown in the use of labor, all seem to result from the division of labor..."

Ronald decisively recited the incantation for [Invisible Hand].

To hell with exchanging words!

The guy below was indeed a rational and communicable being, which of course, was good news.

But the unfortunate part was that this guy was anti-human or perhaps anti-sapient!

There was such a vast difference in understanding the value of intelligent life, the contradictions between both parties were completely irreconcilable.

From Ronald's perspective.

He mostly felt that he wouldn't want to become a middleman who captured humans and then sold them, so he respectfully declined the goodwill released by 'Kangdingrant' at this moment.

The incantation ended quickly.

[Invisible Hand] also steadily demonstrated its capabilities as usual.

This time Ronald set the spell's target to tear the 'Kangdingrant' below into pieces, and the spell indeed effectively achieved this purpose.

Centered on the torso.

The head and limbs of 'Kangdingrant' below were instantly torn off by [Invisible Hand]. Yet, such injuries, absolutely fatal for ordinary people, didn't take 'Kangdingrant's life.

Ronald could clearly see that there was no blood flowing from the torn body, and on the severed head, the gaze was still firmly locked onto him.

"I just knew..."

Uttering a silent curse, Ronald understood such an enemy wasn't something that could be easily resolved.

Therefore, with a gentle flap of his white wings behind him, as bright flames ignited on his body, Ronald immediately approached the severed limbs of the opponent and cut down with his sword!
