Kangdingrant's figure smashed into the wall like a cannonball, instantly penetrating the structure.

The body enhanced by the original canon was indeed hard enough—

But when faced with another steel-like body also constructed by the original canon, Kangdingrant, whose enhancements were limited to the human body construction, still revealed his vulnerable side.

He was sent flying by Batty's powerful punch.

This original canon holder, while crashing through the wall, naturally continued to be hurled backward heavily.

Splash—

A splashing sound was heard emanating from the smoke-filled hole in the wall.

Only then did those present determine Kangdingrant's location.

It was about seven or eight meters away in this room, in a decorative garden fountain used as an ornament by the council hall. Kangdingrant must have fallen into the pool around the fountain, which is why such a sound was made.

"..."

"Lord Kangdingrant?"

At this moment, the Entrode agents behind Ronald could no longer hold back.

The scene of the two original canon holders clashing was too perilous earlier, preventing them from intervening.

Now the curtain of battle had fallen.

Seeing one of their superiors fall into the water, they naturally immediately went to check on the situation.

On the other side.

Unlike the few who went to support Kangdingrant,

around Batty, almost all the remaining Entrode agents had encircled him.

The reason was simple—

Batty's current state was truly horrifying.

The guy had already withdrawn from his steel-like body, and the magic power of the Complete Technique was rapidly waning.

As for him personally…

Batty was kneeling powerlessly on the ground, four ghastly white ribs had pierced between his shoulder and neck, reaching into the chest cavity, sapping this man's life.

The host was dead, and there were living people around.

Without any level of containment, those familiar white viscous substances naturally began to ooze out from Batty's body, from each of the newly acquired wounds.

The Entrode agents saw this scene.

Only then were they completely certain—Batty had been controlled by eukaryotic organisms.

And their identity and duty at this moment required them to contain these oozing eukaryotic organisms and eliminate them.

"..."

"Looks like I won't need to step in here…"

Watching the Entrode agents cautiously begin handling these eukaryotic organisms.

Ronald shook his head slightly and walked towards the spot where Kangdingrant had fallen into the water.

Even though these eukaryotic organisms seemed so dangerous a moment ago, it was only after successful parasitism that they displayed such abilities.

And this type of parasitic life form has such a stark contrast between its fragility and strength during specific periods. Without Batty as a host, the agents on-site were fully capable of handling it.

"How is Mr. Kangdingrant?"

Crossing a few meters, Ronald walked along the corridor of the council hall and saw the fountain.

The original spray of the fountain had already been broken by Kangdingrant's crashing body. Several Entrode agents quickly pulled this original canon holder from the pool, placed him in a corner of the corridor garden, and injected a healing potion.

Ronald stepped forward to examine closely.

Kangdingrant's condition was indeed not good.

Even though he had been pulled from the pool by his subordinates, and was using medication to aid in his body's repair.

But Batty's attempt to take his life with a punch had forced the power and icy steel-like magic deeply into his body, preventing Kangdingrant from immediately recovering from his injuries.

However, on the bright side,

Kangdingrant's original canon excelled in human body control.

This force that would be fatal to a normal original canon holder was still within his handling range. Given enough time, he could complete the repair of his body.

"Congratulations, it seems you won."

Looking at the weakened original canon holder, Ronald softly offered his congratulations.

This compliment,

was also a show of respect for Kangdingrant's battle strategy just now.

In terms of raw physical strength and aggression, Kangdingrant indeed was no match for the fully metallic monster that was Batty.

Yet despite this disparity, Kangdingrant did not give up hope of winning.

The daring close approach during the final confrontation,

was the choice Kangdingrant made in this situation.

In that instant, he came in front of Batty and gambled that he was faster than the Batty controlled by eukaryotic organisms.

He succeeded—

In the brief moment just as he was thrown away by the opponent, Kangdingrant controlled the four ribs in his chest to break through the flesh, transforming into blades that pierced out from the torso.

And these four ribs, fully reinforced by Kangdingrant, did not disappoint him.

Utilizing the opportunity created by Kangdingrant's severe injury, they severed all the connecting tubes at Batty's neck, which were the weakest points sacrificed for flexibility across the entire body, then brutally pierced into Batty's interior through the tear.

If it were merely ordinary foreign objects entering the body,

Batty might have been able to use the power of the Complete Technique to expel them.

However, just as he attempted a powerful attack that would have killed Kangdingrant, Kangdingrant's four ribs also aimed to completely eradicate Batty.

Most of the power of "Human Body Construction" Complete Technique was used to reinforce these four ribs. Hence, after being stabbed into the body, Batty immediately lost control over it, subsequently, with the collapse of the Complete Technique, was killed by this unstoppable force.

"..."

"Mr. Ronald, you must find this laughable."

At this moment, Kangdingrant, lying on the ground, responded to Ronald.

There was no joy at winning the battle on this original canon holder's face, only helplessness and sorrow could be seen.

Greeting Ronald, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

Recalling the situation he had previously noted, Kangdingrant organized his words:

"Thank you for stopping Batty's scorching gas dispersal for my subordinates, I am truly grateful."

After expressing his gratitude to Ronald,

Kangdingrant painfully changed the subject:

"Hmm… but as you can see, in my current state, I am truly incapable of thanking you properly. So please, return to the hotel to rest, and once I have handled my injuries, I will certainly repay your help."

This is the most basic precaution against a powerful caster.

It is also a show of respect for Ronald's abilities.

Ronald understood this very well and could empathize with Kangdingrant's emotions at this moment. But the fact remained—he couldn't leave the council hall so casually.

Thus, stepping forward, Ronald lowered his body, meeting his gaze with Kangdingrant's:

"Mr. Kangdingrant, I'm afraid I cannot leave immediately because this matter is not truly over."

Kangdingrant's expression hardened.

He even contemplated struggling to stand up with his subordinates' assistance:

"Mr. Ronald, what do you mean by this!"

Seeing the other party's tension, Ronald naturally didn't keep it vague:

"I heard it during the battle as well."

"That Mr. Batty, wasn't he in charge of the commercial street before?"
