The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Moisture condensed in the air into sharp ice spikes, which, aided by the wind, spun at high speed and shot towards Ryan!

Ryan used his dagger to parry the ice spikes that kept flying in from his blind spots, while also dodging Dandy's extremely tricky attacks.

Several times, Ryan tried to break through using his speed and explosiveness.

However, it was stopped by a large number of ice spikes that followed.

They do have some strength.

He's so much better than that half-baked Daniel.

Indeed, there are differences in skill level among dual-attribute mages.

but.......

Having already experienced countless battles, Ryan had plenty of backup plans.

For mages of Ryan and Dandy's caliber, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.

The optical prism's ability to create perception illusions can create such moments.

After blocking several attacks from ice spikes and daggers, Ryan seized an opening and used the Prism Magic.

Having already experienced the optical prism once, Danti was not misled by this visual interference.

She continued to rely on the surrounding air currents to sense Ryan's true location.

At the same time, a tornado suddenly appeared on the flat ground!

Wind Prison!

Almost at the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped again!

Countless icicles condensed and, accelerated by the wind, flew like raindrops into the eye of the storm!

The sound of ice picks shattering came one after another, forming a continuous chorus!

To ensure the target was killed, Dandy kept the ice spikes and wind prisons active for nearly ten minutes.

After everything was over, in the middle of the Wind Prison...

There was absolutely nothing there.

Dandy was startled. What had happened?

Before Dandy could figure it out, a chill ran down her neck!

Dandy reacted immediately, rolling backward several times to avoid the fatal attack.

A shallow wound appeared on his neck.

It's not over yet!

A large number of light prisms descended around Dandy!

These optical prisms simultaneously emit intense light.

Dandy quickly closed her eyes, but in that instant, the bright light had already affected her vision.

A strong wind was blowing all around!

Meanwhile, the snow underfoot melts into muddy water, which is highly adhesive.

That was a defensive spell that Dandy used in desperation.

However, to Dandy's surprise, Ryan did not launch an attack.

A sense of unease rose in Dante's heart.

Could it be that Ryan is planning something?

Despite the discomfort in her eyes, Dandy opened them, which were still sore and swollen.

What she saw afterward was something she would never forget.

It was a world that was completely empty.

A blood moon hung high in the sky.

And Ryan hovered beneath the blood moon.

Above their heads were countless enormous magic circles.

One burning meteor after another fell from the magic circle, the flames generated by friction with the air turning the entire sky red.

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

Dandy blurted out instinctively, the shock of the scene leaving her speechless.

The only instinctive choice is to avoid it.

suddenly!

Without warning.

My ankle was cut!

Fortunately, Dandy regained her balance in time and did not fall.

However, the intense pain brought Dandy back to her senses!

The surrounding scenery quickly faded away; there was no blood-red full moon in the sky, nor were there any meteorites or magic circles.

Everything was an illusion created by Ryan.

But she found out too late.

A storm of slashes was already coming straight at them.

Dandy's ankle was injured, limiting her movement and preventing her from dodging. She could only defend herself with her dagger.

After several rounds of attacks, the clean and tidy bodysuit was completely torn to shreds, leaving only some scattered pieces of cloth to cover the vital areas.

It was stained red with blood.

Ryan kicked Dandy in the stomach, sending her flying.

At the point of impact, a towering pillar of fire erupted!

Eight fire snakes rose from the ground, frantically spewing flames towards the center point.

The surrounding wind and snow melted away completely, then evaporated into water vapor at an extremely fast speed.

When the flames subsided, only a charred mass remained on the ground.

But the next second, the charred body got up.

Dandy didn't die!

Even the well-traveled Ryan was shocked.

Is this woman immortal?

"Hehehe..."

"Ouch, that hurts..."

“It really hurts!”

"Hahahahaha!"

The charred mass emitted a shrill laugh, like a demon crawling out of hell!

Tsk!

"That's great!"

"Ryan!"

"Come and redeem me! Free me from pain and the torment of sin!"

In the blink of an eye, Dan Di, which had been charred and brittle and was just missing a sprig of cumin, was restored to its original state.

The demon behind him became even more ferocious, and even a phantom image appeared behind him.

She raised the dagger, aimed it at her chest, and plunged it in!

Blood spurts out!

Ryan was stunned for a moment.

What is she doing!

He actually committed suicide?!

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the girl with the radiant flames in her mind.

【careful! 】

Before the sound even faded, the radiant flames within his body surged out uncontrollably!

The Radiant Flame Maiden appeared before him!

Then, a dagger plunged straight into her chest!

The radiant flames exploded instantly, and the recoil propelled Ryan more than ten meters away.

As the radiant maiden slowly dissipated, Ryan's mind went blank.

It wasn't until the magic completely dissipated that Ryan realized what had happened.

He hadn't even had a chance to ask the girl's name...

Intense anger caused the radiant flames within his body to explode!

With the broadsword in his hand, Ryan stomped out, determined to cut off that woman's head!

【fool!】

Don't go!

If you kill her now, you will die too!

The girl's voice echoed once again from Ryan's consciousness.

It was this voice that pulled Ryan back from the brink of losing control.
