Dave had prepared a contingency plan.

Under the situation that was completely under his own surveillance just now?

The thought that immediately came to Ronald's mind as he felt the trembling of the ground was this.

Although the opponent was not a match for him in terms of martial strength.

As a leader of a faction, it was not impossible for him to have hidden cards yet to be played.

"..."

Ronald's gaze shifted toward Dave.

The leader of Ogen's Secret, having just had his lumbar spine kicked by Ronald, was completely unable to maintain his balance amid the ground's trembling and had even been forced to kneel.

And his expression...

Confusion, helplessness, concern—these complex emotions were reflected on his face, and his inner reactions were fully aligned.

Seeing Dave's behavior.

Ronald could not fail to realize.

—The ground's vibration was not the trump card of the man before him!

—But rather an emergency that took everyone by surprise!

"..."

Boom—

Amidst the trembling of the ground, a sudden sound of earth and stone collapsing in the distance could be heard.

Ronald looked toward the source of the noise...

Inside the refugee camp, there were actually several hundred-meter tall trees, which were the exclusive pathways left by Ogen's Secret for ease of movement.

And at this moment.

These trees split the soil open from the ground, carrying with them the massive objects below and breaking through the earth.

—The view from the ground was obstructed.

—One had to be high in the sky to see clearly what was happening.

Ronald made a swift judgment, and the incantation of "Astronomy Master" came out of his mouth at once, "From the relationship of the entire earth and sky, let us begin to constitute our cognition!"

Swoosh—

Ronald's slender figure sliced through the sky.

In just over two seconds, he had reached a height four-fifths of the way below the tree domes.

At that moment, the transformation of the vast land below came into view.

Ronald could clearly see that the entire space within the tree dome was shaking violently, with the soil on the ground breaking inch by inch rhythmically, like a parched riverbed stomped into dust.

"Ah!"

"They're attacking, they're attacking!"

"Where's the Summoner, get them to communicate with the treants?"

"..."

Ronald watched in surprise everything happening below.

It was at this time that he suddenly heard a continuous wail and groaning coming from above.

Ronald looked up, and the exploratory power of 'Fury' also immediately extended in that direction.

...

These painful voices.

They were all coming from the wooden dome—the Ogen's Secret Tree City!

"..."

What on earth was this?

Ronald now felt nothing but a headache.

Glancing down at the refugee camp below, tormented by the shaking, he drew the sword of Saint Catherine without another word, the power of sunlight adhered to it as he charged alone toward the tree dome.

Bang—Bang—

The fortress of Ogen's Secret was fairly robust in its strength.

But it was ineffective against Ronald's assault.

In the time it took to breathe, after two consecutive sounds of wooden shells shattering, Ronald had already penetrated the floor and ceiling of the tree city.

Here.

Darkness enveloped Ronald.

Giant trees, entwined together, formed an overlapping canopy, leaving not a single ray of light to penetrate this black world. If one were to throw an unprepared person here, being eternally lost would be their only fate.

Ronald broke through the darkness along his path within this canopy.

And then he noticed something.

——The power of the Sun.

——Yet it cannot ignite the branches and leaves here.

Although he had not specially enhanced the spell, as the Sword of Saint Catherine sliced through layers of foliage, the saint flames that enveloped it, bearing the property of the sun, astonishingly had no effect on the trees themselves.

Had the Secret of Aogen school uniquely treated these trees?

Pfft——

Ronald's heart filled with doubt.

But these branches and leaves ultimately could not stop him for long.

After slicing through another set of branches in front of him, Ronald finally burst free from the constraints of the tree canopy and arrived above the entire area.

At this moment, he looked down to take in the full view below.

Ronald's gaze became incredibly blank, his tone revealing his helplessness directly.

"This... what on earth is this?"

Below, a Leviathan-like creature was struggling to break free from the earth.

The size of this being almost matched the size of Bapulor when transformed within the "Domain of Infinite Negativity," and, combined with the hill-sized rocks and soil on its body, the visual shock was nearly indescribable in words.

And what was even more disastrous was Ogen's Secret Tree City.

This refuge, built by casters, had from its roots merged indistinguishably with the creature, which by now had completely become a part of the beast's body.

The wails that Ronald had heard in the sky earlier.

Were actually this giant creature controlling the trees on its back, eliminating the casters of the Secret of Aogen who lived in the Tree City!

And the vibrations on the ground that destroyed everything.

Were actually the trembling that occurred on the creature's back as it broke through the soil.

"..."

Ronald struggled to control his emotions and began to analyze...

Was there even a need to analyze!

It was surely the "Organic Encyclopedia" from the refugee camp that, under some circumstances, continued to 'fertilize' life, finally concocting this monstrosity over several months!

So, where should one start with this thing?

If he were in the state within the "Domain of Infinite Negativity," Ronald would certainly have already launched his spells at it.

But now...

Although possessing great strength, he still felt somewhat at a loss on how to confront such a giant beast.

It was like a person holding a thumbtack.

While it could pierce many things, attempting to take on an elephant with it was just absurd.

"This... this..."

"When hitting people, begin with the head, I guess..."

Ronald quickly abandoned the thought process.

The best course of action against a monster of this size was to target its head, which was the only option currently visible to him.

Immediately after, Ronald turned and flew towards the creature's head.

Bang!

At this moment.

Substantial magic power burst forth from afar instantaneously.

This magic power was so strong that it dispersed the air, and even at Ronald's location, he felt the powerful gush of wind head-on.

Ronald also recognized its owner from the attribute of the magic power.

——It was Costate.

Facing such a change, the maids loyal to Ronald's commands also took action at this moment.

The impact of the powerful spells rapidly evolved.

Above in the sky, thick clouds instantly gathered, and violent air currents rampaged freely between heaven and earth.

Crack——

Ronald's face felt a chill.

It had started to snow.

Several air currents clashed with the high altitude under Costate's control, naturally leading to the formation of pristine silver grains.

Under Costate's unreserved spellcasting.

The weather of the entire region even began to change due to its influence!

And on the ground, around this massively sized creature that was Costate's main target, was almost entirely enveloped by violent forces.

It was a gargantuan vortex so vast it could envelop mountains.

Rapidly evolving between heaven and earth!
