"Run!!" Ronin snorted coldly, opening the barrier for Gandalf to return. Fania's eyes stared straight at the white jade staff that had been reunited, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Just now, the mage, Gandalf, he ...... You're slashing people with knives, right?!"

Luo Ning smiled, "What's so strange about this! You see, as an archmage, don't I often poke people with the Storm Demon Sword?"

"That's different!!"

Fanya also gave Luo Ning a roll of the eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt, and she couldn't understand where this magic puppet's unbelievable skills came from. After the magic array appeared just now, she sensed a wave of magic power that was different from elemental magic. The rolling tide of magic contained an air of desolation and dead silence, and just watching from a distance through the barrier, Fanya felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She had a vague feeling in her heart: This time, my master may have really made an amazing puppet!!

Ronin instructed Fanya to continue carrying the materials, and asked Gandalf to begin his leveling journey. Jumping to the ground himself, he prepared to mend and reinforce the magical enchantment around the Sky Furnace. Now that he has inherited the position of the Furnace Master, he has made up his mind to use this place as a base to fight against the nearer and nearer end of the Heavenly Fire.

The Sky Furnace is divided into three layers: outside, inside, and outside. There is a transition zone between the three floors, so the boundary line is extremely long, and it is tens of thousands of meters away from each other. It is not an easy task to strengthen the defensive barrier. And Luo Ning has extremely high requirements for the defensive nature of the enchantment, often interspersing several illusions with several magic traps, and in these illusions, in turn, nesting several extremely offensive magic!

He worked from morning to night, and only completed about one-tenth of the total workload.

"Whew, so tired! When the furnace master proposed the condition of strengthening the defensive barrier, I thought I had made a lot of money, but it turned out to be so hard to do!" He didn't realize that his exhaustion was caused by his own high demands!

Ronin sat down on a rock, took out a bottle of potion and drank it, recovering a little of his magic. At this moment, he suddenly sensed a steady but long fluctuation of magical power, like the waves blown by the sea wind, which continued to spread out in all directions, exuding a faint aura of desolation and death.

"Is this magic fluctuation ,,,,,,Gandalf?!, he's meditating?" Luo Ning realized that the Doom Mage, who had been assigned by himself to fight monsters and upgrade in the past, had completed his first task. And now there is no foreign invasion, so following Luo Ning's orders, he is sitting in place meditating and recovering the magic lost in the battle.

Luo Ning got up and went to the open space on the outer layer of the furnace, and found that there were not many traces of the fight, only a scorched black pit tens of meters square: "Could it be that one move is just a second?!That ivory dragon turtle is an eighth-order demonic beast!Even if the phantom can only exert part of the strength of the main body, it won't be so easy, right?!" Luo Ning gasped, secretly glad that in the process of creating the Calamity Mage, he imprinted the soul contract into its energy core, so that it could not betray himself. Otherwise, if this situation continues to develop, sooner or later Gandalf's strength will surpass his own.

And, that day is definitely not too far away!

This is the conclusion that Ronin came to after looking at the bauhinia pattern on Gandalf's wrist. Before Gandalf was activated, the Worlds Skill Tree system had given a note: the Calamity Mage's arm was engraved with a redbud flower with only a line outline. When all five petals are painted in color, the Doom Mage will begin to condense his divinity and advance to become a demigod. Demigods can condense divine power and drive divine power, but they cannot use divine magic. Therefore it will not be excluded by the laws of the human world.

It's just that after killing an eighth-order demonic beast, the tip of the first petal has an extra touch of purple. But with Gandalf's one-move instant kill, this speed is amazing enough!

Ronin crossed his arms and paced back and forth around Gandalf, calculating the benefits and losses of various plans.

After a long time, he suddenly drew four teleportation magic circles on the ground, and then shouted to the mage of doom: "Gandalf, a new additional order is here! Starting tomorrow, you and I will go to all parts of the continent to train! I will make two batches of puppets overnight! One group has no combat ability, but is good at arranging defensive barriers, and the other group can complete basic patrol work and leave them here to guard the furnace." As soon as there is an invasion by foreign enemies, we will immediately return here through the teleportation magic array!!

And this time, Fanya and Tiandao will also leave the overseer, and I am relieved to have the two of them here!

With that, Ronin and Gandalf disappeared into the twilight, returned to the inner layer of the furnace, and told Fanya about his plan. The latter objected: "No!! Neither Tiandao nor I are by the master's side, this is too dangerous! Once something unexpected happens, just rely on this..." Gandalf's strength was proven not so long ago. If you don't use the power of your bloodline, you may not be able to beat him!

So Fanya's attitude quickly softened, and she asked dejectedly, "Master, you... How long are you going to be out?"

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out for three months for the time being! Let's see how Gandalf grows! And I won't accompany him the whole time, I will only guide him for the first period of time! When his situation stabilizes, I will return to the Sky Forge and prepare to create a new puppet! There are nine Heavenly Pole professions, and our work has just begun!"

Fanya didn't complain anymore and obediently took over the task of guarding the furnace.

Three months later, deep in the Far North ice sheet.

Ronin stood on the top of a snowy peak that stood thousands of meters high, using magic to block out the raging wind and snow, and quietly watched the battle taking place below.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a battle, but rather a one-sided massacre.

Gandalf stood alone in the middle of the snow, chanting powerful incantations that shouldn't have existed in the world. The thick and pure tide of magic power turned into gray light marks visible to the naked eye, swinging out like ripples in all directions, and the wind of death full of desolation and silence swept mercilessly over hundreds of white beasts five or six meters high. The snow-white thick fur was like ice and snow falling into a furnace, and in the blink of an eye, it rotted and melted along with the flesh and blood, leaving only a pile of white bones to fall to the ground.

These ape-like demonic beasts are seventh-order demonic beasts that live in the depths of the Arctic Ice Field, the Ice Armor Demon Ape. Being able to survive in the depths of the Far North Ice Field, where monsters, undead spirits, and snow elves are a symbol of strength in itself.

They are called "Ice Armor" not because of the ice armor they wear, but because their fur is strong enough to withstand the full force of the legendary warriors. In his early years on the black market, Luo Ning had seen a scene of selling the furs of the Ice Armor Demon Ape. The way to judge whether it's genuine or not is simple - find a Magus and let him bombard the fur with the powerful magic he is best at! If it's a real Ice Ape Fur, the Magister's attack will only leave a shallow burn.
