Rumble rumble——
Within the cloud layer high in the sky, the rumbling thunder manifested here.
Every use of the "Rain Mist Divine Hamr" cleared Ronald's enemies with overwhelming power, and this ti was no exception.
Once the incantation was uttered, the thunder exploding from the surrounding clouds began to surge, infinite light and destructive power covering every corner of the sky.
Under the ravages of such might.
Not only were the clouds in the sky shattered into large pieces, but the chaotic and rampant air currents, and even the floating fragnts of island, could not escape the coming catastrophe.
Engulfed within, the entire world seed to be illuminated by this terrifying spell.
Around it, nothing survived the disaster.
However, as the spell's caster, Ronald did not exult.
He quietly watched the once-arrogant dragon, now reduced to charred corpses falling like raindrops, but his real focus remained in front of him.
Swish——
At this mont, hidden amidst the thunder, a barely perceptible voice rang out, aiming directly at Ronald who was controlling the spell.
"No surprise there."
With a frown, Ronald quickly sidestepped to dodge.
Only after performing this action did he realize there was a straight void within the thunder, and just like before, the enemy's attack extended to the distant horizon before disappearing.
"..."
Soon, the thunder in the sky gradually dissipated.
The reason Ronald stopped the spell was not only because the dragons in the sky had been wiped out, but also because the rain clouds were completely dispelled by the spell's impact.
In this sky, now bright again, with only the hellish black mist moving with the airflow, there was no longer any room for the "Rain Mist Divine Hamr" to be cast.
anwhile, Ronald's excellent vision resud its role.
He clearly saw that "Gunblade" stood not far across from him in the air, his face the sa arrogant expression as before.
"The thunder..."
"So it was you, this monster, who initiated this spell at Capone last ti!"
At this mont, "Gunblade" spoke, his tone complicated.
Although he had just been within the thunderstorm, and was even an attack target of Ronald's, as Ronald had previously speculated, his defense ca from so sort of rule-based spell.
So even though the thunder's power could almost destroy everything in this world.
The caster of the [Nine Commandnts Covenant] under the rule's protection showed not a hint of injury.
Now watching Ronald, "Gunblade's" gaze focused on the grimoire in his hand:
"We originally thought Gargred sent so incredible secret weapon on this voyage and prepared counterasures closely. Turns out, the caster that night was you, this monster, who managed to get another grimoire?"
"..."
Ronald did not speak.
He had no habit of explaining his abilities to his enemies in such a setting.
Moreover, facing this young man called "Gunblade," Ronald hadn't fully grasped his abilities yet.
Firstly, immunity to damage must be the core ability of this defense spell.
Neither of Ronald's two full-strength attacks, the later clash within dragon flas, nor the final unhard state within the thunder had inflicted any damage on "Gunblade," demonstrating the spell's power with his physical condition.
Secondly, it involved extracting hidden clues from nurous pieces of information.
Ronald rembered very clearly, when he initially tried to separate the enemies using [Current Wheel] and [Average Wheel], "Gunblade's" expression was obviously unwilling, but he couldn't resist the force.
This indicated that the opponent's defense did not fully shield all external forces.
At least so spells could take effect.
This could also be seen from [Wrath of Sin] successfully stirring his emotions, revealing a trace of insight.
Lastly, there was the contest between the two in the dragon flas.
Ronald rembered distinctly that "Gunblade" opened a specific defense spell for this, and then couldn't persist, choosing to break off the contest with him.
If such a rule-based defense range was broad, it should have been immune to the dragon flas' burn as well.
In a few seconds, Ronald sorted through this information in his mind.
The converging conditions reflected on each other, quickly forming an initial vague hypothesis, among which the most probable one——
The effect of "Gunblade's" rule defense capability might derive from——the determination of attacker hostility.
Recalling before.
Using [Current Wheel] and [Average Wheel] to steer the two away, Ronald's original intent was to quickly kill the healer, thus targeting was not on the two.
The dragon's breath afterward naturally also targeted Ronald.
"Gunblade" was completely an innocent affected party, not under the shroud of hostility.
As the only two instances affected by offensive spells, these fit the elents of hostility determination.
As for the emotion guiding of [Wrath of Sin].
This did relate to the spell of "Capitalism" as a cross-verification.
The two naturally unnoticeable spells, one could smoothly extract value from "Gunblade," the other could normally guide his emotions, both weren't detected as hostility-oriented spells.
And what about this guy's successful defenses?
Ronald's two clearly targeted attacks, and the third head-on aerial contest, were all marked by obvious hostility and standard perceivable offenses.
"I say, you monster, how co you don't even dare to attack now?"
While Ronald was swiftly analyzing intelligence.
In the air opposite, "Gunblade" began to taunt as the enemy hesitated, not daring to continue the previous attack:
"Aren't you going to stop the 'True Na'?"
"Co beat now, and you can do anything you want, isn't that good!"
"Or is it——are you scared to act now?"
"..."
Regarding the enemy's provocations, Ronald glanced coldly at the arrogant "Gunblade."
His hypothesis was just one of many possibilities, and Ronald himself wasn't absolutely sure.
As "Gunblade" maintained his arrogance, and continued being guided humbly by [Wrath of Sin], it was a good chance to test it out.
So, Ronald spoke, revealing unmistakable hostility in his tone:
"The reason I'm not acting imdiately."
"Is because I'm contemplating, how to kill you without revealing hostility."
"..."
"!!!"
"Gunblade" imdiately changed his expression, no longer maintaining his earlier bravado.
This young [Nine Commandnts Covenant] grimoire-holder, eyes wide, watching Ronald, sank into incredulous silence.
