There's no doubt about it.
The six summoning mages scattered in other locations of the city must be dealt with first.
After determining the number and actual condition of these true-core organisms, Ronald and Catherine didn't want to alert other extraterrestrial intruders in the city, so they restrained their initial reckless approach.
The first target is the focus.
The residence of this summoning mage was located on the east side of Hamono City, and Ronald and Catherine found the place without much effort.
Before taking action, Catherine whispered to Ronald:
"Ronald, I have a spell that can alter the common sense of those around us to so extent, and it should co in handy now."
"..."
Ronald's eyes montarily froze, imdiately understanding what Catherine was referring to.
He had seen this spell when he first entered the [Infinite Negative Domain].
Catherine had used this spell on Barrier Mountain to suppress the majority of the wizards stationed there, a field capability unquestionably powerful!
But using such an exaggerated power just to capture a true-core organism parasitizing a summoning mage...
Honestly, it felt like using an anti-aircraft cannon to shoot mosquitoes.
Ronald had a mont of reflection but quickly nodded:
"Go ahead, but rember to control the magic fluctuations so that other parts of the city don't notice what we're doing."
"Leave it to ," Catherine replied with a confident glance, and then began chanting an incantation, "Elijah Baley fiercely resisted the fear in the depths of his heart. This fear had accumulated for at least two weeks. No, even longer..."
The spell from the "Galactic Empire" imdiately spread around.
Probably having taken Ronald's advice, Catherine paid special attention to magic power control when deploying this large field. She limited the spell to a very small area around the target, making it completely undetectable even when walking on the streets.
Exquisitely controlled magic, a clean and sharp spell application.
Even though it wasn't the first ti he had seen Catherine cast a spell,
such perfect spell mastery still filled Ronald with awe.
With the spell field unfolded, the two then stepped forward, entering through the front door of the residence.
The summoning mage, who was playing with pet birds on the chair, was startled by the sudden intrusion.
To avoid being exposed and raising alarm among others in the city,
most hosts of these true-core organisms were solitary mages, minimizing the chances of interacting with others.
Seeing the two enter, especially Ronald,
the mage's face, which had just feigned surprise and confusion, imdiately turned hostile and fearful:
"How could you possibly be here!"
"..."
Why indeed was he here? That was a good question!
If it weren't for Catherine's manipulation in the [Infinite Negative Domain], Ronald should indeed be on the [Grid] fleet's ship, rather than in Hamono City, seeking out these lurking extraterrestrial intruders.
Ronald cast a subtle glance at Catherine beside him.
The Master of the Astronomical Tower maintained a steady expression, stepping forward to berate the true-core organism parasitizing the summoning mage:
"The wonders of the world's changes are not for a low-grade organism like you to understand. Surrender quietly!"
As she finished speaking, Catherine lunged at the summoning mage.
The true-core organism, intending to resist, barely managed to get a word out, not even the start of a spell before Catherine pinned him to the ground, interrupting the spellcasting.
"Listen! I don't want to be your enemy, don't..."
"Ah!"
The true-core organism, held to the ground, tried to negotiate or perhaps delay with Ronald and Catherine.
But Catherine, restraining it, was not in a mood to listen. The words were only half-spoken when a foot pressed onto its neck.
Cold and domineering spell incantation followed from above:
"I looked at my notes, and I wasn't satisfied with the content. I stayed at the Arican Robot Company for three days, but it wasn't better than checking the Earth Encyclopedia at ho."
"Woo, woo, woo—!"
The summoning mage pinned to the ground began convulsing violently.
Due to Catherine's not-so-pleasant mood, her spellcasting this ti was rather brutal. If the last modification of a true-core organism were like cautiously drilling a hole with a fine hand drill, this ti it was as if she directly fired a hole with a handgun.
Soon, the violent convulsions ceased.
The target of Catherine's spell, naturally, was transford into a pile of cold machinery in the ruthless modification.
Catherine then lifted her leg and gave Ronald a provocative glance:
"Ronald, how's my technique!"
"..."
"Pretty good, and you'll have several more chances to showcase this technique today."
Ronald responded to Catherine without backing down.
He then stepped forward to inquire about the information known by the true-core organism.
Compared to the first captured true-core organism, the information this one knew wasn't much different. He only had additional knowledge of a few summoning creatures who had betrayed Hamono.
Ronald silently morized these nas.
The duo then dismantled the organism and imdiately headed to the next summoning mage's location.
Second, third, fourth...
With powerful abilities as their confidence, Ronald and Catherine perfectly replicated this operation on the subsequent summoning mages. The results, naturally, concluded the processing of the remaining targets without alerting anyone.
Among them, only two were sowhat unexpected.
These two true-core organisms weren't parasitizing solitary summoning mages but rather matured n with families.
Faced with such situations, Ronald and Catherine had no better way than to deal with the organism and use spells to guide the family's mindset, avoiding any major issues.
...
Once all six summoning mages were dealt with,
dinner ti had long passed, and the night had fully veiled the sky in darkness.
Regarding this situation, Katrina expressed so dissatisfaction with a slightly irritable tone:
"I couldn't even enjoy my dinner because of this!"
"Ronald, these extraterrestrial intruders are truly annoying!"
Ronald simply nodded without speaking further.
Smoothing things over with the families of the teary-eyed victims earlier had dampened his spirits, just like Catherine.
The bigger reason, however, was that
the two of them had already arrived at the location of the Environnt Managent Departnt!
