Under the pitch-black night, amidst the stormy sea.
This space, supposed to be under Costate's spell control, was to beco a forbidden zone that eradicates all life.
However, the result was—this awe-inspiring scene lasted only a few seconds before it was interrupted by unexpected thunder!
Rumble—
Thunderous noises loud enough to tear human eardrums resounded through the sky with the thunder's arrival.
Such commotion appeared overhead.
Costate, manipulating her spells in the air, knew well enough that this thunder wasn't sothing her spells could summon. Just as the maid was about to look up and observe the situation, a sky full of thunder descended with lightning speed.
Costate herself couldn't keep up with this speed and was instantly struck by lightning in the air!
Crackle—
Thunder passed through Costate.
Fortunately, the maid was sheltered by "Immortal Material," so while this thunder's power could certainly kill her instantly, the immortality stabilized her life force, sparing her from death from this one strike.
"..."
Then, amid this spectacle, Costate lifted her head.
Though she wasn't well-versed in the knowledge of lightning.
Her chanized mind quickly noticed the peculiarities.
These thunders ran rampant over her body, but if one observed closely, it could be found that their target actually wasn't her. This power, enough to destroy everything, was rely passing through her on its way to the real target.
Why is that?
The man below who can call her by na, his real target isn't her?
At this mont, the intense light from the thunder illuminated the entire environnt as if it were daylight. Even though Costate had excellent vision, she couldn't observe her surroundings in such brightness.
Not to ntion the continuous booming thunder that roared, nearly stripping the maid of her sight and hearing.
Only relying on the chanical mind provided by Complete Technique, Costate briefly guided the current situation.
—The two are in a life-or-death battle.
—The enemy doesn't attack her.
—What choices might this enemy have under the current situation?
Must stop this guy!
Before everything becos irreparable!
Conscious of the current situation, fearless of thunder, Costate attacked Ronald from where she rembered him to be.
Unfortunately, all these actions were already too late.
As the maid made these responses, the thunder summoned by Ronald in the air had already traversed the last stretch of distance and struck fiercely into the sea.
Boom! Boom!
Soon, amidst the lightning and thunder, the sound of equally intense explosions began to mix in.
Normally, seawater can conduct electricity, but beyond a certain range, the high resistance and electrical conductivity in the seawater would dissipate the power of lightning.
However, at this mont, the sea's condition is different.
The seawater's conductive properties were perfectly preserved by "Immortal Material," which controlled the sea's temperature, preventing it from rising with the fall of thunder.
Thus, under the endless input of thunder.
A portion of the lightning constituted of magic directly exploded on the sea's surface, forming a resounding noise; more magic-composed thunders were directed further down to the only reachable target—Archmage Shui.
"..."
For a mont, silence engulfed the water.
In the following second, the maid attacking Ronald in the air suddenly halted.
Afterward, Costate could no longer launch any attacks.
Because at this instant, with Archmage Shui's death, the strengthening effect of "Immortal Material" vanished from the maid's body. Even though these thunders' real target wasn't Costate, rely being on their path, the maid couldn't resist such an attack.
So in just a few seconds, Costate's figure dissolved in the thunder into high temperatures, leaving not a trace.
Only the Original that constitutes the maid's existence erged at this mont.
And continues to bear the power amidst the thunder, then attracting similar destruction.
Boom—
The Original suffered destruction, and intense magic fluctuation spread imdiately, vibrating across the sea surface.
At this ti, below, Ronald happened to cancel his spell.
Just as the thunder's might hadn't dissipated, the explosion from Costate's Original sent the impact directly to his face.
"Ha?"
Ronald exclaid in surprise, retreating instantly.
Luckily, in this era, the "Infinite Negative Domain" hadn't been constructed. So he didn't get sent into that dubious world like the first ti facing an Original explosion.
Being too close to Costate, he felt the impact particularly strong.
…
After so effort, Ronald barely stabilized himself amidst the shock brought by this Original explosion.
Once his feet touched the sea surface.
The slightly damp shoes told him—the seawater below, like Costate, also lost the properties conferred by "Immortal Material" at this mont.
Only then did Ronald begin to observe the situation around him.
—The world at this mont was extrely quiet.
Waves dispersed by the shock are receding, and aside from Ronald himself, there was nothing left to make a sound.
The battle just now shattered everything.
Anything that could escape here couldn't continue lingering.
Even those four "Lachimont" mages were out of sight.
In this situation, Ronald almost had an illusion.
Everything he saw now was like a motionless photograph. All that happened was preserved in the world's mory as a picture.
Ha—
A few breaths passed, and just in ti, a sea breeze brushed past Ronald.
This sea breeze rely filled the upheaval from Costate's Original explosion. Yet to Ronald, it was as if it painted the entire world in vibrant colors.
"Ha…"
Feeling this rhythm, Ronald, originally tense, sighed with relief.
Honestly, the battle with Costate and Archmage Shui had indeed consud quite a bit of his energy.
Now finally claiming victory.
He could slightly relax his heightened vigilance.
After slightly stretching his stiff body, with inexplicable lancholy, Ronald glanced in another direction.
He imdiately saw, at the spot where Archmage Shui was just now.
A Original that just outlived its holder now hovered at that location and was sinking into the sea.
Being that the holder was killed, the Original naturally revealed itself.
Thus, this Original was quite quiet.
Apart from inherently fluctuating with magic, it showed no anomalies.
Ronald unhesitatingly leapt toward it, then re-entered the sea and swam toward the Original, his hard-fought prize of this battle.
