Plop—
His body leapt into the water, Ronald was filled with doubt, but his target was directly beneath, the Caster of the [Nine Commandnts Secret eting].
Seconds ticked by.
At the right distance between the two, Ronald waved one hand, and the ability of the [Archangel] to manipulate objects was imdiately activated.
At this mont, the enemy was underwater, focused on finding the whereabouts of their companions.
Ronald cast the spell only after getting into position, ensuring that he was just out of the range of "True Na's" imdiate detection.
"..."
"Ugh! Ughhh!"
As the spell activated, a large amount of seawater began to press towards "True Na."
Though it was still daylight at the surface, the water a hundred ters below had turned dark, and in such an oppressive environnt, the sudden attack created an overwhelming fear.
Although "True Na" quickly cast a defensive spell to isolate themselves from the surrounding seawater, the sensation of being eroded by the currents still left them with undeniable trepidation.
"..."
Rapidly approaching "True Na," Ronald naturally saw everything.
After a brief thought, he imdiately canceled [Wrath's Sin] influence on "True Na," at least preventing their fear from further intensifying.
The recent escape of "Gunblade" had already sounded the alarm for him.
His goal today was to completely eliminate these three original bearers of the [Nine Commandnts Secret eting], not just to defeat them.
Even though [Wrath's Sin] emotional guidance was extrely useful, if it made the enemy only know to run away in cowardice, it would beco an obstacle to Ronald's goal.
anwhile, "True Na," whose mood had slightly eased, noticed Ronald's arrival.
The older Caster watched Ronald approach.
Having already sensed that the dragons he summoned had been completely slain, he imdiately guessed— "Gunblade" was also killed by this monster before him.
This monster...
How could it possibly be defeated in battle?
Amidst "True Na's" thoughts, their facial expression swiftly changed, fear—shock and anger—hatred—madness and killing intent—resoluteness.
"..."
"You, you, I will fight you to the end!"
At this very mont, it seed to "True Na" that with their companions lost and alone in the ocean, combat—they definitely could not be a match for Ronald, this monster; escape—earlier encounters made it clear that their speed was far inferior to the enemy in front.
So... could they expect the enemy to spare them?
In this way, the outco beca evident.
If they were to die, then rather than being caught and tornted by the enemy, it was better to use the absolutely forbidden spell in their original to, to sacrifice their life and perish together with the adversary!
Once this heroic idea erged, the subsequent actions beca incredibly smooth.
"True Na" only felt a sense of destined mont before them.
So, seizing the last mont before Ronald's arrival, they recited the spell they never planned to use in their life, amidst the seawater:
"You searched, you all searched, but no one found it, so you fabricated clever phrases, barely explaining 'acceptance,' 'balance,' 'equilibrium' between life and death. But they are just words, lies to cover up failures, to conceal your fear of death!"
"..."
Positioned above the enemy, Ronald was ready to kill "True Na" below.
But in those last few seconds, the opponent sped up and recited a lengthy spell.
Then, Ronald was dumbfounded.
Through his spell perception, though the Caster of the [Nine Commandnts Secret eting] remained within the [Armillary Sphere] spell, the ability to sense human emotion had suddenly vanished.
At the sa ti, with his excellent vision, Ronald could see changes happening to "True Na's" body.
This aging man's body quickly decayed as Magic Power manifested, a battered body full of hollows, revealing so pitch-black, unfathomable substance.
This...
This man, used spell to commit suicide?
Ronald never expected that the enemy before him would choose such a path.
Judging from the changes in emotion during their lifeti, he anticipated so action from the man, but who knew that kind of determination would co at the cost of his own life!
A spell cast by an original bearer, at the cost of their life.
Faced with such a twist, Ronald dared not be careless; not only did he slow his descending speed, but he also dared not take his eyes off the now dead enemy.
Soon, the anticipated change began to occur.
The Magic Power of the original to's spell did not dissipate with the bearer's death, but continued to brew on "True Na's" lifeless body.
In just a few seconds.
Black, mysterious light began to erge around the Caster of the [Nine Commandnts Secret eting], and strange, shrill cries echoed through the seawater.
With his excellent eyesight, Ronald saw it all clearly.
Those pitch-black cavities symbolizing death and decay on "True Na" were now entirely filled with black, and the black light sensation rapidly spread across their distribution.
No, I must understand the situation!
At this mont, Ronald redirected [Greed's Sin], previously placed on "Gunblade" without revealing its weakness, onto "True Na's" corpse below.
—A wandering soul between life and death.
—Due to its ability to freely traverse realms, it is in a state neither alive nor dead.
[Greed's Sin] provided very simple information.
An ordinary person who saw this would likely consider it a special existence form.
But Ronald was different.
Having read the original to of the "Earth Sea Legend," he knew the enormous hidden danger within.
In the story of this original to, this neither-living-nor-dead state was a calamity caused by an evil magician in pursuit of immortality, resulting in their death, an existence crossing the boundary of life and death, which can make people forget everything about themselves, even unable to retain the witchcraft skills to cast spells.
And if this phenonon continued to fernt, the eventual outco would lead to an apocalyptic scenario where the entire world loses its balance!
"..."
anwhile, the range of black light below was expanding.
And amidst this scene, Ronald saw sothing deeply unsettling.
—"True Na" rose again.
This body filled with black matter had turned into an absolute non-human evil object, rising under the black glow.
Then, it looked straight at Ronald, with no concealnt of its malice and murderous intent.
"..."
"Though I doubt one original to can destroy the world's balance, you're certainly not a good thing."
Facing such changes,
Ronald could only slightly shake his head, then imdiately charged downward!
