White wings flapped behind him.
Ronald, holding his sword in one hand, flew towards the giant suppressed by the seawater.
At this mont, the enemy was under the control of the rmaid’s spell; approaching the opponent required a tily and flexible opportunity rather than pursuing ultimate speed. Thus, Ronald naturally did not choose the "Astronomy Master" spell, which prioritized speed but instead used the more flexible Wings of Icarus.
After crossing this not-so-difficult distance,
the one-handed sword in Ronald’s hand was also stained with a scorching glow.
This was the power of the "Great Angel" provided by the "Divine Cody — Heavenly Chapter." Furthermore, unlike the previous holder, Malcolm, who had a self-destructive way of casting spells, the character of this power beca much gentler after Ronald interpreted it correctly.
Once Ronald activated this spell, he could freely select any non-living object nearby and imbue it with the scorching sacred power of the sunlight, which possessed considerable lethal properties.
Especially when dealing with enemies or spells of a dark nature.
This power was absolutely an unmatched trump card for defeating foes.
At this mont, although Ronald was not sure about the actual characteristics of the giant in front of him, adding a layer of reinforcent during the attack was indeed a foolproof choice.
As for why Ronald had scarcely employed this spell previously...
The main reason was that its ’special effects’ were sowhat overly grandiose. Although the sunlight’s power attached to objects would not damage the objects themselves and Ronald had no special restrictions,
abilities related to the sun had special effects as dazzling as the sunlight on a clear day.
Take, for instance, the one-handed sword now imbued with the power of sunlight. Ronald held it while flying in the air, and almost the entire island below could clearly perceive its emitted light.
Ronald even wondered—
If the enemy saw this thing unprepared, would they be temporarily blinded by the sudden dazzling light?
"Ah ah ah—"
"Mortal, you are defiling the divine. Cease your foolish actions imdiately, or you will never receive my forgiveness!"
Suddenly, the giant suppressed by the water tornado roared.
Although the rmaid’s spell restrained it to the point of being unable to resist, the sudden glow from the one-handed sword in Ronald’s hand still made it realize soone was approaching through its vision full of water.
"..."
Stopping mid-air, Ronald was genuinely speechless at this stubborn enemy.
Clearly already in a situation where others controlled their life and death, yet still clinging to that omnipotent divine persona. In such a situation, wouldn’t it be more straightforward to beg for rcy if they wanted to survive?
Thinking this way, Ronald’s hand didn’t allow the slightest hesitation.
This enemy was currently controlled by the rmaid’s spell, but at the end of the day, it had also slaughtered a significant number of casters.
An entity that murdered humans was indeed more comforting when dead.
In the silence, Ronald quickly sensed the flow of magic power on the giant in front of him. Despite having a human form, the focal point of power in this being’s body was right at the center of the lower abdon.
Even while being tornted by the water tornado, it occasionally made movents to protect that spot, which clearly showed the importance of that part of the body.
"It’s right here..."
Muttering to himself, Ronald had already moved in front of the giant, close up, by using the Wings of Icarus.
Based on the giant’s movent trend in the water tornado.
In about five seconds, the creature would reach the most suitable height, and all Ronald had to do was extend his weapon forward; the force of the water tornado would naturally help him amplify the damage.
"One second, two seconds, three seconds..."
Ronald counted the ti in his heart, and at the fifth second, he thrust his one-handed sword forward.
At the sa ti, the position of the towering giant kept rising.
Its body had just reached Ronald’s position.
Sizzle—
Enveloped in the power of the sun, the blade of the sword instantly pierced the body of the giant in front of him, the process smooth and unobstructed.
Following that, the giant continued to rush upward, ensnared by the water tornado. The sword blade, firmly embedded in its body, also moved downward with the change in position, subsequently leaving a spiraling, charred scar as it climbed.
"Roar—"
This ti, the giant finally stopped using its divine identity to threaten.
From its mouth ca a cry unlike any human’s, and at the origin of the wound in its lower abdon, a visible concentration of Magic Power was frantically dispersing.
Having used the "Divine Cody" Spell for so long, and as soone who had multiple contacts with the power of Hell’s Blood River, Ronald’s perception of souls was quite sensitive. Thus, while the opponent’s Magic Power was collapsing, he noticed a scene imperceptible to ordinary people.
At the position of the wound created by the sun’s power.
At this mont, so bewildered souls were flowing out along with the Magic Power!
Among these souls, Ronald even recognized the original owner of his sword and the old man who conducted the ritual.
No wonder those people died so abruptly and the wounds on their bodies were not noticeable.
Under an attack that directly extracted souls, such a result was to be expected.
Floating in the air, Ronald continued to observe the enemy’s transformations after his realization.
The giant’s robust body, as the Magic Power and internal souls ebbed, quickly shrank down, reducing to the size of an ordinary human in just over a minute.
Magic Power and souls were probably the source of this creature’s strength.
Having lost these, the giant could now only passively accept the reality of its continual weakening.
However, like Ronald, Halbert did not intend to let the creature go either.
Watching the giant reduce to such a state, she imdiately intensified the attack strength of her Spell. The ’giant,’ now only the size of an ordinary human, was almost instantaneously shredded by the sea, leaving no remnants in the world.
"..."
"Pretty ruthless indeed..."
Seeing the enemy being completely destroyed by the water tornado, the rmaid lady also began to dispel her own Spell. Ronald looked back and forth a few tis, then reactivated Icarus’s wings to return to the entrance of the altar.
"Ronald, can you feel it?" Halbert spoke.
Gazing at Ronald returning to her side, the rmaid lady now wore a faint smile on her face, "The Magic Power surrounding this island is starting to weaken noticeably, and the balance maintained by Magic Power is being disrupted."
"If that’s the case, I actually hope the typhoon outside would also vanish, after all..."
Ronald was about to continue chatting with Halbert.
But then, he couldn’t continue his thought as he had only started speaking when, right in front of him, the figure of the rmaid, Halbert, started to gradually fade into the air.
This state and rhythm of disappearance.
Were they not exactly the sa as the disrupted Magic Power balance on the island?!
