With the flames of the [Power of the Sun] as its companion, the sword of Saint Catherine remains as formidable as ever.

This is due to the positional difference between the two, one high and one low.

As Ronald charged forward, the first thing he faced was the left hand that had just been torn off by a spell.

In that case, let's start with this!

The blade was swung upward at an angle, immediately slicing neatly through the arm along the curve of the bone.

Swish——

The blade in the lead, the flames following behind.

The [Power of the Sun] swiftly caught up, crawling firmly along the wound and onto the arm. Though the burning process appeared a bit slow, within a few seconds, this section of the arm was successfully reduced to ashes!

Seeing this, Ronald naturally intended to capitalize on the momentum and press the attack.

However, the opponent had no intention of waiting idly by.

In an incredibly short amount of time, the limb torn off by the [Invisible Hand] retreated parallelly for several meters, only to reassemble over the lake.

While maintaining distance from Ronald.

'Kangdingrant' also completed the reassembly of his body.

The only change now was that he had lost his left hand. The arm burned to ashes by the [Power of the Sun] didn't regenerate as usual, instead leaving a conspicuous void at his shoulder.

"..."

Observing the opponent who had lost an arm, Ronald remained utterly focused on the battle.

The reason was simple—

Because on the reassembled body, the expression of 'Kangdingrant' remained unchanged, not even a drop of blood oozed from the shoulder wound.

Fighting against this kind of opponent.

Absolutely must not apply ordinary battle logic!

"Although this is just a temporary body for my descent, missing an arm is still somewhat inconvenient."

Ronald regarded him as a formidable foe, yet 'Kangdingrant' appeared relaxed.

He shook his remaining right hand and casually asked Ronald with a tone of curiosity:

"As the instigator of the attack, what price are you prepared to pay?"

Danger!

This time, there wasn't even a need for the [Instinct] spell from "The Origin of Species" to warn him.

Based solely on his accumulated combat experience, Ronald immediately sensed that the opponent was preparing to attack him.

Even though his eyes could not see any incoming spells, Ronald immediately sidestepped to the right in a swift motion.

Crackling!

Almost the very next second.

The spot where Ronald originally stood was suddenly covered in frost, followed by a heap of ice blocks emerging out of nowhere.

The entire transformation process didn't show any change in magic fluctuation, it was just an abrupt occurrence in the air.

This sensation...

It felt as though some imperceptible force was extracting the heat in that place.

——A bizarre attack method.

Ronald silently came to a conclusion, even though he was under the protection of a spell, if he wasn't careful...

"Oh, can you see it?"

"!"

While Ronald was still analyzing the recent encounter.

Who would have expected that at that instant, 'Kangdingrant' suddenly vanished from where he was and appeared right in front of him, with a speed akin to flashing light.

Almost face-to-face, 'Kangdingrant' asked in a curious and enthusiastic tone:

"Human senses shouldn't be able to detect changes at this level, how did you manage to dodge in advance?"

This time, Ronald was truly startled.

This kind of attack that was almost negligible in substance, that aside, the enemy in front of him, even his movement speed was beyond perception.

To defeat such an opponent.

It's not something achievable by mere confidence in spells.

"Limits of Humanity!"

Although it's considered his trump card.

But Ronald dared not hesitate, directly launching the Complete Technique of the "Divine Comedy".

"What?!"

Accompanied by the unfolding of the Limits of Humanity, 'Kangdingrant's expression finally changed.

In front of a spell that eliminates all powers threatening humanity, his figure once again disappeared from Ronald's sight, appearing a distance away.

"..."

Successfully forcing Kangdingrant away with such a method, Ronald's expression did not change for the better.

Because the place where that guy appeared.

Happened to be right at the edge of the [Limits of Humanity]'s coverage!

Just as 'Kangdingrant' was surprised at Ronald's ability to avoid his attack, Ronald felt the current situation was equally troublesome due to the opponent's precise judgment of the [Limits of Humanity]'s range.

"Ronald, better put away that ability of yours."

"Compared to a talent like you, I don't value an arm of a host body very much, I believe we can still have a good talk."

At this moment, 'Kangdingrant' once again extended an invitation.

And the casual tone of before was gone.

It was apparent that Ronald's use of [Limits of Humanity] truly changed this guy's perspective considerably.

But facing such an enemy.

Ronald still had no intention to sit down and have a serious talk.

"From the relationship between the Earth and the sky, we will begin constructing our understanding!"

Knowing the opponent's abilities to be strange and powerful, Ronald chose to seize the moment and continue the attack.

Reciting the incantation of "Astronomy Master" aloud, Ronald began to extract magic to enhance his spells in all aspects.

A few seconds passed, and [Measure Length] was successfully cast.

And Ronald this time made a bold and unprecedented attempt with his target.

He designated his body and 'Kangdingrant's body to be infinitely close in distance, then raised the sword of Saint Catherine again, channeling all his strength into a strike.

Crack——

With a single stroke, 'Kangdingrant's body was cleaved in two.

The [Power of the Sun] also adhered to the wound simultaneously.

Due to the [Limits of Humanity] blocking the opponent's countermeasures, this strike met no resistance. 'Kangdingrant's freshly rejoined body was once again sliced into halves.

"..."

As long as the attack proves effective.

Seeing the outcome of his strike, Ronald finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a tactic he had long contemplated.

Although the [Limits of Humanity] has its drawbacks of high consumption and limited range, the spell [Measure Length] from "Astronomy Master" manages to nullify the latter's issues.

Today, applying this idea in actual combat for the first time.

It certainly achieved a favorable result!

But could such an attack truly annihilate the enemy?

Before Ronald could finish his thought, 'Kangdingrant' quickly provided the answer with his actions.

Even though his body was split in two by the sword, that voice, as if whispering in his ear, immediately appeared next to Ronald:

"Quite a remarkable ability, I was indeed caught off guard.

Now, the second round officially begins."

As the declaration ended, 'Kangdingrant's voice gradually faded away.

And what soon appeared before Ronald's eyes, was an endless expanse of blue light!
