Rennala did not hold her magic staff, but instead cast magic with her hands.
Even though she was angry, she still didn't want to kill Kaito, her main purpose remained to drive him away.
For a time, within this vast hall, Rennala's glintstone magic was on full display.
From the common Great Glintstone Shard, to Glintstone Comet, Spinning Glintstone Shard, Comet Shard, and Glintstone Shooting Star, these were all glintstone magics that Rennala excelled at.
Having her go all out was still impossible for now.
Not that she couldn't, but she wasn't in the right state of mind.
Against this magic, Kaito either broke it with sheer force, or used rock walls and shields to defend.
Dodging was unnecessary, because it was simply unavoidable.
The glintstone magic she cast, under Rennala's conscious control, was already difficult to escape from.
It was easier and more convenient to just defend directly.
Afterwards, he would seize openings to get in front of Rennala, or launch long-range attacks.
However, when Rennala was slightly more serious in her combat state, Kaito's pursuits and long-range attacks were easily defended by her, even performing instantaneous movement right before his eyes.
"Rennala, if this continues, your castle will collapse."
However, Rennala did not answer.
Instead, she cast a shooting star spell towards Kaito's location.
This magic is one of the very advanced glintstone spells of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
It can send six shooting stars flying towards a target. The learning conditions are difficult, and unleashing its true power also heavily tests the mage's ability.
For someone like Rennala, damn, they came like rockets exceeding several Mach speeds.
After Kaito created three layers of rock walls for defense, and the rock walls were unsurprisingly shattered, Kaito's figure quickly moved behind Rennala.
At that very instant, Rennala also turned around immediately.
This time, she didn't, as usual, use pure magical force to send Kaito flying, because that would be harmless to Kaito. So, after a light appeared in her right hand, she then cast a Glintstone Arc towards Kaito.
This magic is a magical arc that expands significantly outwards, like a fan-shaped sword energy.
When cast by an ordinary mage, the damage might not be high, but it still needs careful vigilance.
But cast by Rennala, it was like a strike that could cut through heaven and earth.
And it was an ultra-large scale strike!
Less than ten meters from Rennala, this Glintstone Arc exceeded a maximum diameter distance of 20 meters.
Forced to, Kaito instantly generated rock under his feet and used it as a springboard to quickly jump and dodge the slash.
He dodged, but some of the hall's architecture suffered.
For example, the walls were directly cut with a 20-centimeter-wide gash. Pretty terrifying, brother!
Perhaps thinking Kaito was too annoying, and since previous attacks couldn't effectively threaten him,
a light appeared again in Rennala's right hand, and in front of her, ten azure magic circles appeared at once.
Cannon of Haima.
A relatively powerful glintstone magic.
Like firing a magical cannonball to a designated area for bombardment.
She thought Kaito wouldn't dare to easily defend this time, right?
However, Kaito still dared!
He just needed to make the rock walls sturdier!
Just as Kaito thought and acted, with the rock walls perfectly defending against each cannonball...
Suddenly, a blue giant hammer appeared above his head.
This was the Gavel of Haima.
A giant hammer formed using magic power. Under the Gavel of Haima's powerful strike, Kaito raised his head and blocked with his spear tip.
Dong——!!!
The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered.
This wasn't the first floor, but the top floor of the castle.
Under the force of this blow, Kaito was driven down to the lowest level.
It wasn't that Kaito failed to block, but that the castle couldn't withstand the force of the powerful strike.
Like a nail being hammered, didn't he just get driven straight into the deepest part?
"Good grief, I forgot to reinforce the castle."
Kaito, unharmed except for slightly numb hands and ringing ears, shook his right hand.
Slowly looking up at Rennala slowly descending from the sky, the corners of his mouth turned up.
After Rennala illuminated her surroundings with starlight, her gaze remained fixed on Kaito.
No other emotional fluctuations, nor surprise that Kaito was unharmed. Raising her hand, she cast the Carian Round Shield magic.
A high-level magic that forms phantom swords or magic swords (Glimmerblades) from a large amount of magical power, arranging them in a circular formation for automatic pursuit over a wide area with no blind spots.
This is also a specialty of non-mages; some mages who became knights also liked this spell.
Some even surpassed the original, seemingly tailor-made for knight-mages.
Soon, these blue Glimmerblades rained down in a torrent.
Originally just over a dozen Glimmerblades, they turned into hundreds during flight.
Seeing this, Kaito couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
He had been fighting her for a while and hadn't seen any sign of her magic power being heavily depleted.
It seemed that the plan Kaito had in mind, to gradually exhaust her through a war of attrition, had failed.
"Sigh, I originally wanted to have a good talk with you when you ran out of magic power and couldn't fight anymore."
Kaito sighed. Actually, another thought of Kaito's was to avoid activating the backup plan Ranni had left.
A game is a game, reality is reality.
Kaito wasn't sure if Ranni would notice him fighting her mother.
This was also why, so far, Kaito had been mostly defensive and evasive, rarely taking the initiative to attack and force her to defend, etc.
Now that he saw no sign of Rennala's magic power drying up, and even if they fought for another one or two hours, it would be about the same, so, he decided.
Take the initiative!
Just as the Glimmerblades were about to hit Kaito, leaving him with no escape, he deployed his shield.
Soon, the Glimmerblades kicked up a lot of dust and floor debris on the ground.
The entire first floor of the castle, including the basement, was torn open.
If this continued, this large castle could collapse at any moment.
But well...
Kaito's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Rennala, noticing her attack had missed again, slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.
Just as she instinctively turned around to attack her rear position, she saw that Kaito had silently appeared right in front of her.
The original rock spear in his hand was gone, replaced by his left hand around her waist. His right hand, somewhat awkwardly bypassing the amber egg, grasped...
umm...
To be honest, he wanted to touch her cheek, but who made her has a Lady Dimitrescu-like figure!!
At that moment, other emotions appeared in Rennala's eyes...
