A corner of the sky above the battlefield.

This space was originally empty, but as the influence of the musical magic expanded, spatial ripples began to appear here.

The power of the divine magic resonated with the barrier, and within it were naturally Ron, Vivian, and Rita, along with Little Tower.

Although Ron has returned, Uncle Arno can no longer be of much help on the battlefield. As a Legendary himself, his bodyguards must also be Legendary or higher. Currently, Uncle Arno has been assigned by Ron to protect important figures in the territory.

Below Ron and his group was the location of the Shadow God's branch church. The enemy was really patient. The battlefield situation was very unfavorable to them. They didn't believe that the real powerhouses wouldn't come out. If they didn't come out of the branch church's territory soon, all of the Shadow God's followers would be wiped out.

Ron also sensed something was amiss due to the anomaly in Rita's barrier.

They're out! They're finally out!

A group of clergy flew out from the Church of the God of Shadows. This group should be their true powerhouses, and they were the ones they had been waiting for. These people were also searching for the true powerhouses of the attackers.

The powerful commanders on the attacked side naturally chose to remain still, as they were protected by divine magic arrays within the branch church. It was just a pity that the influence range of the legion-style divine magic spells was too large; otherwise, Ron and his men could have seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

According to Ron's observation, there were nine people coming out. The priest at the very back should be the leader of the enemy squad. Judging from the staff he was holding, he should be a legendary mage.

It seems the God of Shadows has a strong foundation; one of his branch churches has a legendary figure in charge, while Ron's side has a newly born water god, and some branch churches only have master-level bishops in charge.

The God of Shadows has existed for a very long time, and to guard against any possible assassination attempts by demigods, Ron adopted the safest approach.

This is very serious and must be taken seriously, because the God of Shadows is the God of Assassins.

The strategy is to advance and retreat together; there is no scenario where Ron Legend leads the charge or Ron waits in the rear for someone to assassinate him.

Let's go together and get it done.

Only at a close enough distance can Rita and Vivian protect Ron.

Two female demigods stood on either side...

...

The battle ended faster than expected. There was no pre-battle dialogue; the opposing assassins were taciturn. If there was any real danger, it was Ron's sword strike the closest during the battle. However, this sword strike could never reach Ron's spatial range, as Ron was a spatial legend.

Well, the main problem was that the legendary priest on the other side was being watched too closely by the two female demigods. The only one who could get close to Ron was the Assassin Master. Throughout the whole process, no more strong people came out from the branch church. Actually, Ron really wanted to leave one alive so that he could confirm that there were indeed no demigods in the branch church.

Well, it's really not easy to keep people alive, especially these believers who maintain their fanatical beliefs. Death is not scary; what's most frightening is that their faith will be polluted and they won't be able to enter God's Kingdom. Little do they know that it might be meaningless for them to enter God's Kingdom anyway.

The battle had just ended, and the entire church building of the Shadow God's branch church began to radiate divine light. The god might still take direct action, but the highest combat power in the world is only limited to demigods, so there's nothing to fear.

Since the year 2014, the year of the catastrophe began, and a year or two has passed, the current power limit is demigods. If a demigod like Bernal the Lich uses near-godlike abilities, he will face the pressure of being rejected by the world. At the beginning of the year 2014, demigods could only use legendary strength. In a few more years, Vivian and Rita will be able to unleash their full power.

They can use demigod-like methods, but they are not good at using quasi-god or even near-god-like abilities. If they are too strong and don't care about the cost of exchanging them, that's another story.

The timing of the trade-off is crucial. Imagine fighting while resisting the world. Ron estimates that even if the god of shadows were to descend to earth now, Vivian and Rita could handle it for a long time.

From the air, Ron observed the unusual activity of the rival church for a while.

"We'll just hold the line, giving my troops more opportunities to train. We can't always be there to guard the front lines..."

Battlefield combat is the best way to hone a person, and there is a reason why heroes emerge during times of war.

Ron, Vivian, and Rita held the line, preventing the opposing branch church from sending out more powerful figures until the conventional war was completely won before launching a siege. During this time, Ron was also testing his own ideas.

This idea has been around for a long time: to guide the spirits of fallen heroes.

A war on a dimensional level would take many, many years to determine a victor, and a protracted war would always be the main theme. At the same time, on a personal level, Ron also hoped that his warriors could have a better future.

Unfortunately, Ron doesn't currently possess abilities like a god. Let's try our best to guide him and see if we can succeed.

Originally, only a very small number of people could become Heroic Spirits. What Ron wanted to do was to find a way to make more of the dead become Heroic Spirits, hoping that they could continue to meditate and evolve in the Source of Law. With a larger base, would there be any fear of not having legendary-level anomalies? Even to the point of self-evolution to become demigod Heroic Spirits, and finally become qualified subordinate gods of the Source of Law.

Someone has to be there to keep things under control, which is unavoidable. In the extraordinary world, the difference in strength between those above and below the legendary level is too exaggerated.

The three of them, including Ron, need to monitor the opposing branch church. So the other side of the demons should be even more careful. It's really difficult for one of the three to be able to sweep across the battlefield. The fact that no demon king has come out to sacrifice himself so far does not mean that there is none at all.

Having a strong person in charge can reduce the possibility of the opponent suddenly using a forbidden spell.

The legendary spirit is incredibly powerful; let's spare some energy to guide the heroic spirits. Alright, let the experiment begin.

This is a Source Technique, named "Soul Guiding!"

When Ron first saw this Source Technique, he suspected that the Goddess of Magic had given it to him so that, in case of emergency, he could guide his soul into the goddess's divine realm.

One of the fallback options during the legal source assessment.

Improvement, improvement, from the source boundary to the source boundary introduction.

Since it is an application of source magic in the material world, Ron had made some magical modifications beforehand. He could not completely turn it into magic and retained enough source magic characteristics. Only in this way could he better access the source of magic.

Before coming here, I conducted many tests, and this improved source technique is one of the usable source techniques.

“Rita, you are more familiar with divine magic, so pay close attention to any unusual activity below. Vivian, keep an eye on the movements of the demons and protect me. If any unexpected changes occur, help me stop the extradition process.”

Vivian nodded, her gaze turning towards the demons. At the same time, she extended her staff and chanted a spell, adding another layer of magical defense to them. Rita, meanwhile, remained silent, watching the Shadow God's branch church below.

Ron had completed his preparations for casting the Source Technique. He uttered the mysterious incantation word by word, channeling his full mental power. He left the task of holding things back to the two female demigods.

"Heroic spirits, go where you belong!" With a soft utterance, Ron finished his incantation.

A legendary-tier spell—a mysterious power suddenly appeared in the sky above the entire battlefield…
