laugh!

Thin ice was enveloped by sharp warmth, and gently melted into water.

Buzz!

The phosphorescent flames floated on the water's surface, and extreme cold and heat alternated in power for a short period of time. The special materials made specifically to resist the erosion of the cavities were simply unable to withstand the drastic temperature changes.

It's like yeast storming into a lab and suddenly discovering a group of superbugs growing in a petri dish.

Wow, bro, your magic resistance is so high, but your physical resistance is like it's been raised by an illegitimate child.

Bang!

Suddenly, the casing of a circuit cracked, exposing the bare metal wires with blue electric arcs. The arcs spread outwards, getting closer and closer to the phosphorescent flames and water stains...

Fagar narrowed his eyes and withdrew.

But the pile driver remained standing still. The tangled wiring was like a broken leg, and Fagar wasn't worried at all that it would come along with its about-to-explode leg and perish together with it.

"You evil spirits, defying fate, despicable and wicked..."

The pile driver, unaware of what Fagga and Ellen had done, launched into a tirade of curses.

Before he could finish speaking, his display screen was filled with a huge red exclamation mark. Before the pile driver could react, the red exclamation mark suddenly went out!

Bang!

An explosion erupted, and Ben and Ies, who were a little further away, immediately raised their hands to shield themselves from the flying dust. The blinding light made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

After a while, the explosions continued, but Ies noticed in advance that the wind on his face had suddenly stopped.

It released its hand that was blocking its view in confusion, and as soon as it opened its eyes, a dark red color rushed into its field of vision, and a pair of wings surrounded Ies like a shield.

Looking further up, one could see Fagga's serious profile. He stared intently ahead until the wind subsided and Fagga stood up again. Only then did he lower his head slightly and ask softly:

"Master, are you alright?"

"fine..."

Ies blinked, staring blankly at Fagga as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze following Fagga's steps as he moved forward.

Ling was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

[Fairy: Master, there's something the most powerful AI has to remind you of...]

"Shut up!"

As soon as Fairy spoke, Ling snapped out of her daze and pointed at Fairy, saying, "You artificial idiot, don't you dare ruin my fun!!!"

However, Bell forgot, in her extreme anger, that she had forgotten to disconnect from Ies's synchronization connection.

So much so that Ben, who was standing to the side, was completely helpless against the sudden, seemingly schizophrenic state of Ies. He bent down and awkwardly maintained a distance, unsure whether to get closer or not, and could only helplessly offer his advice:

"Miss Rope Maker, calm down!"

Not far away, Eileen, carrying a butler's suit, watched Fagga slowly approach and whispered, "How is it?"

"It's alright, she's safe."

Fagar answered casually, then fixed his gaze on the pile driver: "I'm just unhappy that I almost got a bad review for my work!"

"Damn it! Why does this despicable scoundrel gaze upon the [Enlightened Judge]? Is it to witness the temporary weakness of the flame of justice?"

About thirty meters in front of Fagar, the pile driver, whose mechanical leg had been blown off, was still uttering insults:

"Then you are mistaken. Even though I am crippled, I will never be annihilated by evil! The seal of my mentor still awaits me! Burn, my machine spirit!"

The pile driver roared to the sky, its pile drivers raised high, and blue electric arcs suddenly covered its entire body, extinguishing the phosphorescent flames that clung to it.

"I was just pretending to be weak before; now I'll show you my true strength!"

"My machine spirit! Burn brightly!"
