What's this time?

Ronald immediately retreated into the air.

He recalled the reaction of Kangdingrant's corpse earlier, suspecting new changes in the previous ritual.

But the next second, Ronald realized he was somewhat wrong.

Accompanied by the appearance of blue light, a more profound and essential fluctuation, identical in nature to the magic power gathered in the previous ritual, began to spread around.

Only two breaths passed.

The blue light faded from the environment, and Ronald felt that everything around him had undergone a drastic change.

At this moment, he could see many small floating particles in the air in front of him; the lake beneath his feet was no longer as it was but had become a solid with a metallic silver-gray sheen.

Is this still Waterfall City?

Ronald felt puzzled, but this time the ability from "Bradshaw's Railway Guide" didn't activate, and the "Fury" power still perceived the humans in the distant city normally.

Various pieces of information indicated that he was still in the same place, without having moved.

So what had 'Kangdingrant' done with the magic power inside his body?

Had he set up a barrier over the lake in Waterfall City, or activated some unique and powerful domain?

Looking down with puzzled eyes, Ronald saw the enemy's restored figure.

The body of 'Kangdingrant', which had just been split in two, extinguished the flames of the 'Sunlight Power' and then rejoined on this steel ground, quickly returning to the previous state of having lost a left arm.

"..."

Although he has returned to his previous form.

But this guy... seems to be much shorter than before?

The scene below caught his eye, and Ronald immediately understood what had transpired.

The burning of the 'Sunlight Power' was still effective against this guy.

But before he could be completely annihilated, 'Kangdingrant' decisively dealt with this damage.

In this battle, if Ronald wanted to obtain victory.

The main issue to consider was how to launch this type of attack continuously and effectively, or prevent the opponent from defending.

"..."

"Ronald, it's too late now."

Ronald was quickly analyzing the situation and formulating the next strategy.

But standing on the steel lake was 'Kangdingrant', who once again appeared relaxed.

With that ghostly posture, it flashed once more before Ronald.

Then, it unabashedly said with a smile:

"Utilizing the magic power accumulated from this ritual, I have completely altered the surrounding environment into a world that suits me. Your powers were indeed able to hurt me before, but in this environment, I am now invincible."

"..."

Ronald completely didn't expect 'Kangdingrant' to have such an attitude.

They were clearly in a battle that could determine their fate, yet this guy suddenly voluntarily shared information?

"What? You don't believe it." 'Kangdingrant' noticed Ronald's surprise but remained confident, "I stand here unmoving, you can try stabbing me with a few swords."

Clang——

Where's the logic in not taking action when invited?

At this distance, Ronald didn't even need to manipulate the distance between them anymore!

He immediately included 'Kangdingrant' within the interference range of 'The End of Humanity', raising the Saint Catherine Sword, and slashed down on this guy's head.

...

But the result was exactly as the other party said.

When this sword came down, it didn't result in any benefit for Ronald.

The black sword of Saint Catherine slashed down vertically from 'Kangdingrant's head, but it seemed to pass through without encountering anything, going right through the other's body.

And the flames of 'Sunlight Power' attached to the blade also didn't burn anything.

"..."

Ronald fell silent.

Using the target lock of 'Greed's Original Sin', he was sure that 'Kangdingrant' was standing in front of him.

But with the environment altered by the opponent, this guy seemed to have acquired a concept between reality and illusion, making any substantial attack unable to reach its essence.

Clap—Clap—

At this moment, 'Kangdingrant' lightly clapped his hands.

With a 'you can do nothing to me' look at Ronald:

"See? Just like your personal domain that can dispel all malicious attacks, in my own sanctuary, my concepts will also be transcended, and such straightforward attacks are utterly incapable of reaching me."

"..."

Ronald always stayed pragmatic in battle.

Since the opponent displayed such arrogance, he immediately started trying his other methods.

In the end, after trying various spells one by one, "Divine Comedy", "The Origin of Species", "Astronomy Master"... all attack spells Ronald mastered, just as 'Kangdingrant' said, couldn't reach the opponent at all.

Only when using the spell in "Capitalism" did Ronald feel an automatic convergence of value.

In other words, only this type of spell without an attack intention could lock on the opponent as a target. Aside from this, even adjusting the value couldn't slightly weaken the opponent.

All attacks indeed seemed to have lost their effect on 'Kangdingrant'!

This continuous probing.

Lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour.

'Kangdingrant' seemed to enjoy seeing Ronald waste his efforts, simply standing in place without any movement, calmly watching Ronald attempt various attacks.

Until finally.

Seeing that Ronald's means were exhausted without being able to harm him, this guy finally clapped his hands with a smile:

"Haha, how about it!"

"I wasn't lying to you, right?"

Saying this, 'Kangdingrant' started circling around Ronald, scrutinizing him like examining a product with evaluating eyes:

"When facing the strong, the weak should learn to submit."

"Ronald, I still hugely admire your abilities. Now sign a master-servant contract with me, I promise I won't treat you like a mere commodity, even entrusting you as the general overseer of this world."

"I rarely offer such favorable treatment, so you'd better seriously consider it?"

'Kangdingrant's persuasion was very earnest.

But Ronald had no intention of yielding to it, instead, he retorted with one sentence:

"Arrogance leads to failure, this is true for everyone."

"..."

"Still not giving up? Well, in that case, let me see... I'll give you five more minutes!"

'Kangdingrant' pondered for a bit, then decisively issued a final ultimatum in a calm tone:

"If by then you still stubbornly hold on."

"Then, even with someone as valuable as you, I can only say sorry with deep regret."
