Double Anchoring! Freeze the Sun!!

Why would Nono Perin "lower himself" to challenge Ronan, no matter how outstanding Ronan is?

"Nono Perin should be the most qualified among the Third Ring to challenge for a top ten position, but he actually..."

"It is said that Nono Perin was once close to Bennigo and was Bennigo's only trusted friend..."

"This is even more incomprehensible."

A murmur arose from the crowd; almost everyone was surprised by this "challenge."

The Silver Giant Bat Biondini, gently flapped its broad wings, a strange, enigmatic smile on its face, as if the amusing commotion before it was exactly what it wanted to see.

Nono Perin, like a real sun, flew towards the newly upgraded Fighting Arena.

The order of the second round of battles is determined by the ranking of those who are ranked higher, and sometimes it also depends on the mood of the Silver Giant Bat Biondini.

Regardless of which method is used, this will be the first match of the second round.

Ronan stepped onto the Fighting Arena from the other side.

His feet landed lightly on the solid arena floor. Nono Perin was directly opposite him, his feet floating in the air, enveloped in the glow of energy particles.

"We can begin now, don't take too long."

Biondini's voice came from above, and it flapped its wings, searching for the best spot to watch the battle.

The commotion among the wizards below gradually subsided, and everyone focused on the two on the arena.

"[Ice Armor]!"

The player habitually starts with Ice Armor, and a light blizzard gathers.

Without any further ado, the Nightmare Tungsten Steel flowed into Ronan's hands, transforming into two single-handed longswords billowing with Black Mist, before turning silver again.

"[Frost Howl]!"

A blizzard swept across the arena, the cold wind billowing the hem of Ronan's robes. The tips of his twin swords drooped naturally as Ronan took to the air and began flying toward Nono Perin.

Nono Perin remained calm and began chanting incantations.

His chanting was like a poem being sung, the inexplicable tone as if someone were gently plucking invisible strings, and the pale golden aura around him rose and fell with the tone of his voice. Every move he made was always elegant.

The chill emanating from Ronan intensified rapidly, his swiftly moving figure appearing and disappearing in the hazy snowstorm.

Soon, it was as if he had run into a wall.

That was a surging heat wave coming straight at you.

Nono Perin raised his hand, and several exquisite rings inlaid with gemstones glittered between his outstretched fingers.

A line of fire appeared in the void directly in front of him, and then rose up, instantly forming a blazing wall of fire that blocked Ronan's path.

Ronan, however, seemed oblivious, his flight speed increasing until he crashed headlong into the crimson wall of fire. "Boom!"

An invisible force burst through the wall, and a ghostly blue light shattered the wall of fire. A tall, slender figure, clad in a robe of ice and snow and wielding two swords, emerged from the flames!

The cold air and the heatwave clashed violently at the first moment, and frost and fire engaged in a fierce battle.

Ronan's fine white hair swayed slightly on his forehead, his azure eyes fixed on Nono Perin's figure. Just as he was about to draw his sword and charge forward, countless golden points of light appeared around him first.

Each point of light contained a grain of metal as fine as gold dust, and each point of light released terrifying energy fluctuations far exceeding those of a first-tier spell.

Nono Perin stretched out his right hand towards Ronan from a distance, making a clenching motion with his five fingers.

In an instant, all those countless points of light seemed to come alive, shooting towards Ronan simultaneously! "Boom!"

Countless points of golden light seemed to be converging into an even greater brilliance in an instant, and Ronan was the point where they converged, and also the only obstacle preventing them from achieving their convergence.

A terrifying heatwave swept in from all directions, almost instantly evaporating all the frost surrounding Ronan.

Ronan's deep blue eyes were completely covered by gold and red, and towering flames surged forth with a "whoosh—boom!"

In an instant, the swirling golden light and flames were shattered by an even more powerful and terrifying force.

A terrifying, mysteriously interwoven domain force rose up, like Torrent that could devour everything, yet also like an impenetrable wall. "The fourth kind of Extraordinary Magic Domain power?!"

In the spectator stands, several figures from different directions suddenly stood up from their metal seats, their faces showing extreme shock and disbelief.

"And it's even more powerful than the three Extraordinary Magic Domain powers he displayed before!"

"Did Damien start practicing magic from the womb?!"

Ronan's figure reappeared amidst the dissipating flames.

He wielded two swords, his silver-gray robe billowing in the wind, surrounded by azure and snow. But what truly drew attention were the hundreds of tiny, pure black Energy Light Sphere around him, each resembling a miniature black hole.

Each of these orbs exuded a terrifying aura, absorbing and distorting light, flowing and converging together to form a powerful and majestic black Torrent that flowed ceaselessly around Ronan's entire body.

Under the terrifying power of the domain, all the flames and heat waves that tried to approach Ronan were easily swallowed up and crushed by the Torrent, creating a defensive field of absolute safety and vacuum, firmly protecting Ronan within it.

The Master Level [Energy Missile-Particle Torrent] with 440 proficiency points! It is also the most powerful Extraordinary Magic Domain power that Ronan has mastered.

The wizards watching below all had complicated and ugly expressions.

For any wizard, mastering an Extraordinary Magic Domain power is a dream come true.

This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a manifestation of talent and genius.

Even for a level two wizard whose Soul Power has been enhanced through a second transformation, not everyone can comprehend the mysteries of the Extraordinary Magic Domain from the spells they are most proficient in.

But the young wizard on the stage is only at level one, yet he possesses a multitude of Extraordinary Magic Domain powers. How abnormal must his understanding of magic be to achieve this?

A living, breathing magical prodigy! Within the Torrent Law Domain, Ronan calmly raised his eyes.

The terrifying black Torrent surrounding him shifted from defense to offense, surging and sweeping towards Nono Perin.

Ronan, wielding two swords, followed closely behind with "Treading the Waves".

Nono Perin's expression changed slightly, and he chanted incantations rapidly. The golden sand that had been scattered by Ronan's magic gathered together again, igniting a raging fire, which then quickly stretched into a huge pillar of fire.

A mysterious crimson rune light shone in Nono Perin's golden pupils.

A strange fluctuation emanated from his body, and the huge pillar of fire, adorned with golden sand, trembled slightly and split into three.

The terrifyingly high temperature scorched everything, and large swaths of air became blurred and distorted.

Nono Perin seemed to summon three invisible fire dragons at the same time, which stood in three different positions and spewed destructive flames at Ronan who was rushing towards him.

"[Breath of Heat]!"

A cold expression appeared on Nono Perin's handsome face as he muttered under his breath, controlling three terrifying pillars of fire to engulf Ronan.

Ronan narrowed his eyes, his figure suddenly leaping upwards. His Silver Mist Dual Swords, empowered by the Spell Breaking Flame, easily tore through the layers of heat before him. The surging black Torrent beneath him roared silently, like an ancient black serpent, instantly devouring the sky and engulfing all three pillars of fire. "[Despair Ice Seal!] "

Two deep blue, crystalline, Rotating Ice Ball flew out from Ronan's sides at the same time, and were thrown into the entanglement of the "black ancient python" and the three pillars of fire.

Flames, frost... countless energy particles, and several Extraordinary Magic Domain auras collided.

"Boom!"

The powerful energy particles created a small mushroom cloud that rose from the center of the arena.

Then it slowly spread outwards.

The reinforced and upgraded Rune Array trembled slightly under the impact of this energy surge.

The many wizards watching below involuntarily took a few steps forward, widening their eyes to try and see the scene at the center of the battle.

However.

Before the energy shockwaves from the magical collision had completely dissipated, an extremely dazzling light burst forth from the blurred field, causing many wizards to instinctively squint.

"That's enough, Ronan Damien."

Nono Perin's figure emerged from the chaos.

At this moment, his entire body was bathed in extremely dazzling golden light.

A crimson orb of light, resembling a magical artifact, floated above his chest, emanating waves of mysterious runes.

The sphere of light projected a beam of red light onto Nono Perin's forehead, reflecting a pattern resembling a flame totem.

A red, magma-like light surged around Nono Perin, and golden sand and metal coalesced behind him into a glittering sun ring.

With the blessing of the light sphere artifact, Nono Perin's aura continued to rise, reaching an unprecedented level in both his mental energy fluctuations and his control over fire-type energy particles.

The wizards Arcane Circle from below were deeply moved.

Under the radiance of Nono Perin, they felt a powerful aura belonging to a mid-level second-tier wizard.

At this moment, Nono Perin already has the potential to break into the top ten.

This is magical power comparable to that of Fourth Ring genius! "It's because the attributes of that second-tier fire magic item are so perfectly suited to Nono Perin!"

A Third Ring wizard discerned the source of Nono Perin's power, and said with difficulty, "This time Nono Perin... really has a great chance of breaking into the top ten and moving into the Tower."

Nono Perin's body was suspended in the air, and every pattern and every hem of his robe was blooming.

He was bathed in unprecedented power, and he enjoyed the feeling.

His imposing presence filled the entire Fighting Arena, and his opponents seemed as insignificant as ants that he could easily crush with a flick of his wrist.

"Ronan Damien."

Nono Perin lowered her gaze, looking down at Ronan in front of her, her face still bearing that bright, perfect, and flawless smile.

"Why don't you use the same methods you used to deal with Travis?"

Are you scared?

"Did Bennigo teach you that when you give up, you need to bend over and let your knees kiss the ground?"

Nono Perin looked at Ronan with a playful expression and continued talking.

But he found that no matter what he said, the boy in front of him did not react at all, and his face remained calm and undisturbed from beginning to end.

This quickly made him lose interest in teasing and playing pranks on the other party.

"You refuse to admit defeat, so it seems you're prepared to take this move from me."

This is a power beyond my control, and I cannot guarantee anything about it.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes, and his tone suddenly turned icy, "I can ensure your safety!"

After he finished speaking, the flame totem on Nono Perin's forehead and the crimson orb on his chest shone brightly at the same time, and an indescribable and terrifying wave emanated from his body.

In an instant, countless fire-elemental energy particles surged toward him Fighting Arena and even the area outside the arena.

He was quickly enveloped in raging flames, surrounded by surging heat, unparalleled golden light, and terrifyingly high temperatures that seemed to incinerate everything. Nono Perin's emotions reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.

"[Ancient Flame]! [Incineration]!"

As the magical power rapidly built up, he couldn't help but spread his arms wide and roar at Ronan, "I am the sun!"

"Buzzing—"

Nono Perin transformed into a massive, extremely hot fireball. Thick, magma-like golden flames churned violently on its surface, their light obscuring everything. The intense heat emanating from it was so unbearable that even some Arcane Circle wizards outside the Fighting Arena retreated.

At this moment, he truly seemed to have transformed into a "sun" radiating infinite light and heat, which was both awe-inspiring and moving! Meanwhile, Ronan, who was standing in the middle of the arena, surrounded by rolling heat waves and firmly locked in by Nono Perin's mental power, was shaking his head.

"There's no sun as stupid as you..."

He seemed completely oblivious to the intense heat surging through his body.

Ronan took a step forward, and two Frost Spear made of ice crystals appeared silently at his side.

Then came the [Despair Ice Seal Sphere], again two of them. "Didn't you even notice something so obvious?"

Ronan strode toward Nono Perin, and with each step he took, two identical ice spells appeared around him.

Within the Consciousness Space, two runic marks alternately flashed with mysterious light.

One was the [Frozen Earth] that he had condensed since the early stages of his first level! The other was a complex and profound new rune, with each line and pattern resembling a mirrored maze, Ronan's third Soul Rune— [Mirrorlight]! After Ronan finished consuming the third bottle of "Murphetira's Kiss," he suddenly realized something while pondering the two runes of the Myriad Treasure Orb and the second-tier Mirror Magical Item.

He had always thought that the effect of the runes inside the second-tier Mirror Magical Item was to seal and store spells, and that the effect of the runes inside the Myriad Treasure Orb was to store memories in his mind. But he found that he was completely wrong.

The effect of these two runes is not storage.

It's copying!

To copy something exactly like the target, whether it's a spell or a memory! After drinking the fifth bottle of "Murphetira's Kiss," Ronan successfully separated the rune pattern representing the "copying" function from the two runes, and with his own understanding, condensed it into his third Soul Rune— [Mirrorlight]! The effect is also copying.

But the object being copied is the spell he himself cast! "... To construct Ice Cold Domain using the [Frozen Earth] rune, it is necessary to first lay down Spell Anchor."

The same spell can only be anchored once; casting it repeatedly afterward will have no effect.

"However, spells cast through the [Mirrorlight] rune can summon two at the same time for each spell cast."

I don't know if the copied extra spells are fundamentally different from the original spells, or if I just exploited a bug. Anyway...

"The Spell Anchor, which serve as the cornerstone of the domain, has also doubled."

"Previously, it could only be anchored a maximum of six times, but now it can be anchored twelve times!"

Ronan, lost in thought, weaved through the rolling crimson light and heat waves. The hem of his robe was already slightly smoldering from the heat, but he didn't seem to care at all.

He continued to summon new ice spells, and the [Frozen Earth] rune in his Consciousness Space kept flashing twice in a row.

Finally.

Ronan walked to the edge of Nono Perin's fiery "domain," the heat scorching his cool, smooth cheeks.

At this moment, Nono Perin's magical power had reached its peak, and the air around him was so distorted that it seemed as if even one's gaze would be melted.

"It's over, Ronan Damien!"

The voice belonging to Nono Perin came from the enormous golden lava fireball in front of them, and it sounded somewhat distorted due to the high temperature.

"Let yourself melt into the majesty of the sun!"

Nono Perin growled.

The golden lava fireball began to expand, and the accumulated heat was about to explode in the next instant.

"Buzz—"

Within Ronan's Consciousness Space, the final two anchorings of the [Frozen Earth] seal were also completed.

Ronan gazed at the rapidly expanding golden fireball before him, beneath which lay an even purer azure.

"Finish?"

"No, this is just the beginning."

Ronan extended his right hand toward the golden fireball before him, and a dazzling deep blue light from his palm dispelled all fire and red, suddenly bursting forth! "Double Anchoring! Twelve Spell Anchor! Four Law Domains Overlay!"

"[True. Domain of Despair]!"

"Freeze the Sun!"

"Boom!"

The intensely brilliant deep blue light obscured everything, and an unprecedentedly terrifying cold current, carrying two genuine Extraordinary Magic Domain powers and two other "seemingly similar" Extraordinary Magic Domain powers, instantly dyed the vision of everyone in the audience the color of pure ice and snow.

The full power of Nono Perin's fire magic, which he had built up to its peak, was instantly concealed after it erupted, and not even a trace of heat was leaked out.

Everyone stood there, stunned, momentarily speechless.

As the light on the Fighting Arena gradually faded, the scene inside was fully revealed before their eyes.

At that moment, everyone's pupils contracted, as if they were suffocating, and they lost all words.

All I saw was—

On the arena covered in countless frosts, a huge ice ball floats in mid-air.

Through the thick, deep blue ice, one could almost see the golden-red magma still surging and flowing inside.

At this moment, Ronan stood on this giant ice ball, looking indifferently at the frozen ice ball beneath his feet.

"I never considered you an opponent because, in my eyes, you're nothing more than a clown."

"Do you know? Nono Perin."

As he spoke, Ronan suddenly raised his head, looked calmly at the Silver Giant Bat Biondini in the sky, and said, "Stop wasting my time!"

The next challenge should be my turn, right?

"Let them... come up."

In the deathly silent Fighting Square, the Silver Giant Bat silently watched Ronan.

A moment later, a bright smile appeared on its ferocious beastly face.

A deep and majestic voice emanated from his mouth.

"Docking High Tower!"

"Challenger."

"Ronan Damien!"

The next second, the Silver Giant Bat opened its massive mouth and spewed out a huge and dazzling white ball of light.

The ball of light transformed into a shooting star, streaking across the sky and striking one of the ten Meditation Tower ahead before disappearing into it.
