Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

"Mr. Augustus, you mean...?"

The green-haired youth nodded, confirming the questioner's statement.

Upon seeing this, all the official wizards of the Red Moon Tower present changed their expressions, and solemnity appeared in their eyes.

……

Meanwhile, the wizard apprentices in another world were unaware of what was happening here; they simply stared blankly at the dozens of enormous creatures in the center of the battlefield.

His eyes revealed a complex expression, including fear, but more so a sense of dejection.

Even though we're all freshmen in the same year, why is there such a big gap between me and those people?

They couldn't figure it out, and they didn't have time to think about it further.

As the aftermath of the battle had already arrived, everyone could only struggle to withstand the terrifying attacks, which, although not aimed at them, only made the despair more palpable.

Sometimes the difference between people is even greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Ron and the others had no time to care about those unimportant people; their mental focus was now highly concentrated, their eyes fixed on their opponents around them.

I felt inexplicably excited.

"On behalf of the great suffering people, I hereby unleash divine punishment upon you heretics!"

"The great master of war will ultimately bring peace to the world through the tempering of blood and fire!"

……

Philomene, Elend, and others, with the help of the righteous god behind them, began their performance.

Seeing this, Ron was not to be outdone. He glanced at the spot where he had been standing, where a figure was silently watching them.

He knew that the goddess had been watching him all along.

My mind was filled with countless thoughts, but in reality, only a moment had passed. Then, I withstood the pressure from the giant bird in my spiritual sea and took something out of it.

[Eternal Rest in the River]

The moment this treasure appeared on the battlefield, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Even Philomene and Erend, who were waiting for divine power to descend upon them, looked at the giant firebird that Ron had transformed into with astonishment.

"Hahaha, I thought this battle was over, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You even managed to bewitch that goddess."

"Hehe, Philomi, do you think this guy is the lover of that moon goddess? These things don't look like ordinary stuff."

Upon hearing Erend's words, everyone immediately gave him a strange look.

After that, they all distanced themselves from him.

I don't mean anything by it, I just think this guy has something wrong with his head, even if those so-called gods are just natives of this world.

But he is, after all, a formal wizard-level existence.

How dare we, mere apprentices, slander them?

I really don't know how this guy has survived to this day.

Even Philomi, who constantly mentioned the names of the sufferers, pursed his lips and looked at his opponent with a hint of pity:

"You'd better watch yourself."

"???I……"

When Erend saw this, he knew perfectly well that he had just said the wrong thing, but he also felt very wronged, because he clearly did not want to say those words.

I don't know why, but I couldn't help but blurt it out just now.

The Moon Goddess, who was standing atop a pile of ruins in the distance, observing the situation at the heart of the battlefield, naturally heard what Erend said.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Osdor, don't think I don't know you've been talking badly about me behind my back. Just wait, after this is over, we'll settle the score properly."

She naturally realized that the big, dumb guy in the distance was being manipulated.

As for who this person is?

Of course, it's the Lord of War who has a grudge against her, the one she calls Osdor.

The feud between the two dates back thousands of years, before they became gods, and a certain incident led to their enmity.

Later, both sides ascended to godhood, and the conflict over the power they held led to a growing resentment.

The words Elend said just now were the result of the Lord of War's influence behind the scenes. The Lord of War didn't have any other purpose in doing this; he just wanted to disgust her.

Although the Moon Goddess wouldn't let such a small matter affect her mood, she was still somewhat annoyed.

"Kid, blame yourself for following the wrong person and joining the wrong side."

She murmured softly.

Ron, who was controlling the [River of Eternal Slumber], suddenly heard a familiar female voice in his ear:

"Little guy, that big oaf on horseback over there just said bad things about me. You know what to do, right?"

The voice belonged to none other than the Moon Goddess.

Ron glanced back at the young man standing on the ruins in the distance, a grin spreading across his face.

He had naturally heard what Elend said, but he never expected that the other party would suffer retribution so soon.

Women are all petty.

He thought to himself, but said aloud, "Of course, great goddess, I will carry out your will."

As it spoke, the barely visible stream beneath the fiery red bird suddenly grew, cascading out as if piercing the sky, with countless streams of black water spilling onto the center of the battlefield.

The sound of rushing water echoed in everyone's ears.

"Erend, do you dare to fight me?"

Ron felt full of power, and the remaining black river seemed to have become a part of his body, which he could control with a thought.

Upon hearing this, the young man on horseback opposite immediately responded:

"What's there to be afraid of? If you want to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?"

As he spoke, the other man immediately spurred his horse and charged towards Ron like a true knight, his blood-red longsword standing out starkly in the darkness.

The raging, pale white flames flickered in and out of sight around it.

"Boom!"

The warhorses galloped offline, their thunderous roars echoing throughout the entire royal city of Grasse. Even the residents of the outer city could hear this extraordinary sound tonight.

"Mom, do you think something might have happened to Dad?"

"Alright, Visia, don't think too much. Dad will come back after he finishes taking care of things. What you need to do now is get some sleep, otherwise you won't be able to finish your homework tomorrow morning."

"But I'm a little worried about Dad."

"It's alright. Look at Grasse, has anything major happened all these years? Besides, the Royal Guard isn't to be trifled with. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they'll catch those bad guys."

"……But."

"No buts, go to sleep early. If you're worried, I'll have Monica go out and check on things later."

"Okay, Mom."

In Earl Hobart’s mansion, Visia was talking to her mother in bed.

While worrying about her father's situation, she couldn't help but think of the boy who had left earlier: "What is Mr. Ron doing now? I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
