CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 667 TIME TO GO HOME (TODAY TWO CHAPTERS ARE COMBINED, NOT RELEASED SEPARATELY)

Saint Catherine’s Sword came at me again.

The artificial deity directly opened its crimson eyes, the dazzling power of the sun casting a golden outline upon them.

It was at this critical juncture

that Wisdom in the artificial deity’s mind brought forth the only correct choice in battle—to face the challenge head-on.

In the next moment, Magic Power began to rapidly converge within its body.

The reconstituted staff in the artificial deity’s hands immediately solidified into form.

Then, just like every previous clash.

The staff wielded by the artificial deity and Ronald’s Saint Catherine’s Sword collided mid-air.

Bang—

The sound of weapons clashing echoed once again.

The artificial deity, as expected, stumbled several steps backward, while Ronald was hurled a few meters away in the opposite direction in mid-air.

"..."

Facing this result.

A smile curved at the artificial deity’s lips.

It was not frustrated by the disadvantage in the exchange, for it knew it had bet correctly.

Based on the frequency with which Ronald used this Spell,

the artificial deity had gained a rough understanding of this ability—it was a Spell that could not be used continuously and incessantly, and its duration wasn’t long either.

The outcome of the exchange confirmed its speculation.

After all, the staff that it had just conjured in its hands was not completely destroyed in a devastating fashion.

Feeling the injuries on its body rapidly heal with the support of Magic Power, the artificial deity thrust the staff forward and asserted with confidence:

"Human, I see through you."

"You cannot use this ability without restraint, the outcome of this battle is still undecided!"

"..."

On the other side of the fight, Ronald watched the artificial deity in front of him.

His expression remained calm.

As the Spell Caster, he was certainly aware of where his strengths and weaknesses lay. Ronald had anticipated that the artificial deity would uncover the weakness of the Complete Technique.

Right now, he simply adjusted his stance. His fingers gracefully traced the ridge of Saint Catherine’s Sword, imbuing it with the intense power of the sun.

Snap—

Six pristine white wings flapped behind him.

With the sword in hand, Ronald charged once more towards the adversary.

In a sense,

his battle was now a simple matter.

It was about continuously unleashing attacks, keeping the opponent too busy to respond. Given his ability to break through the enemy’s defenses, a war of attrition would inevitably present him with the opportunity for victory!

Ting ting ting—

The clashing of sword and staff.

The silhouettes of the two, locked in battle, soon tangled into one by the banks of the Wis River.

Strictly speaking, in terms of physical prowess,

the capabilities of Ronald and the artificial deity were actually quite equal.

Except that the state of the artificial deity was particularly poor.

Not only had it previously been severely depleted in battle with Dantrian, but it had also been gravely injured by Ronald twice in succession. Under such conditions, it found itself at a slight disadvantage in close-quarters combat.

Yet even so,

this battlefield was a dangerously forbidden zone for any ordinary Caster to interfere.

Amidst the sound of swords and staves crossing, the figures of Ronald and the artificial deity flickered back and forth along the riverbank, grappling one second on the shore and possibly entangled over the surface of the river the next.

All it took was a moment’s delay.

The retina could not catch up with the speed at which they moved during the exchange of blows.

Buzz—

Keeping up this intense pace of battle,

another ten seconds passed, and Ronald’s Magic Fluctuation linked to "humanity’s endpoint" manifested once again.

However, this time, the artificial deity was prepared.

Therefore, as Ronald unleashed his Spell in an instant, knowing full well it could not withstand such a force, it withdrew all Spells and concentrated its power for a forceful push from its feet.

Even though suppressed by Ronald,

the artificial deity’s power was no joke.

Supported by immense strength, it shot backwards tens of meters in the blink of an eye.

Even with the extraordinary power of Saint Catherine’s Sword in Ronald’s hands, it was impossible to immediately slash at such a far distance!

This was the artificial deity’s response—to retreat.

If an attack was unstoppable, then it would simply dodge. An attack that could not hit...

Crack!

Suddenly, a terrifying gash split open on the artificial deity’s body.

The sword cut, burning with flames as fierce as the midday sun, nearly cleaved it in two from head to toe!

Were it not for a non-human bodily structure sustaining its life,

such a blow would have instantly killed any other normal living being on the spot!

The artificial deity strained to heal the gash on its body.

Then, looking at Ronald in the distance, it nearly yelled:

"Astronomy Master!"

"You also possess the original texts of the terrestrial school!"

Ronald raised an eyebrow.

Putting other things aside, the speed at which the artificial deity saw through his Spells was definitely quick; it stood among the top tier of his opponents.

In that split second, it had already discerned the details of his last attack.

Indeed.

Ronald had used a Spell from "Astronomy Master."

Between the lightning-fast recognition in their exchange, Ronald had already prepared other Spells in advance. And just as the artificial deity thought it had safely dodged the attack, Ronald seized that instance, activating the Spell "Measure Length" from "Astronomy Master."

This time, Ronald redefined the distance between himself and the artificial deity as close range. Thus, the sword’s blade, imbued with the powerful force of "humanity’s endpoint," crossed the vast distance and struck the enemy head-on!
