This feeling is extremely peculiar. Through the Magic Sword, Ron could perceive Nari’s emotions and will.
The resolve to fight for the protection of "children," the excitement in the face of challenges, and the anticipation for the impending battle.
Each stroke of the Rune flowed like clouds and water.
The basic pattern of "Effect Enhancement" quickly took shape, but this was just the beginning.
With the amplification effect of the Magic Sword, the originally simple Rune began to become complex, presenting a three-dimensional structure.
Ron discovered that he could depict intricate structures far beyond his normal level.
The details that usually required great effort were now effortless and natural.
"This feeling..." he analyzed in his heart as he continued working:
"The Magic Sword is not just amplifying my skills; it’s guiding me to touch higher-level Enchantment techniques."
As work progressed, the Rune began to penetrate the energy network within the tentacle, establishing a direct connection with Nari’s Chaos Origin.
This level of Enchantment had exceeded temporary enhancement, resembling a permanent power augmentation.
"Incredible..." The shock in Nari’s voice was overwhelming:
"I can feel that tentacle undergoing fundamental changes... Child, what exactly did you do?"
"I am not entirely sure," Ron replied honestly, beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead:
"The Magic Sword seems to be guiding me to perform operations beyond my ability range..."
Forcing enhancement onto an existence far beyond his Power Level made him feel unprecedented pressure.
The Magic Power within him was rapidly depleting, and the emptiness made him dizzy.
But the work wasn’t done yet.
The final sealing step required injecting a large amount of Magic Power at once to activate and stabilize the entire Rune network.
"Hold on... just one last step..."
Ron gritted his teeth and injected his remaining Magic Power into the Magic Sword without reservation.
The entire Rune network lit up, emitting a haunting dark sheen.
As the sheen gradually faded, that Polluting Touch had undergone a stunning transformation.
The originally deep black surface now showed a strange metallic sheen, like silver forged by starlight.
The internal Energy Flow became more active and orderly, with clearly visible vein-like glowing lines slowly writhing under the skin.
Most importantly, its Erosion power was amplified at least threefold.
Even the surrounding air began to slightly twist from being unable to withstand this power, forming a visible heatwave effect.
The nearby seawater boiled and bubbled upon contact with the enhanced tentacle, as if thrown into a strong acid.
[Enchantment (Proficient) Experience Points +1]
"Succeeded..." Ron gazed at his masterpiece, a sense of accomplishment surging in his heart: "The effect is better than expected. This tentacle now has the ability to instantly erode equally leveled existences."
Nari felt the new power transmitted through the tentacle, her eyes full of admiration for the "child’s" talent:
"My treasure is truly amazing! This level of enhancement..."
She carefully stowed the enhanced tentacle away, fearing accidental release might harm Ron.
But at that moment, a piercing sound of air-breaking came from afar.
It was a sonic boom produced by some flying creature moving at high speed.
The soundwaves twisted in the chaotic environment, creating an unsettling echo effect.
Several black spots appeared in the air, rapidly approaching the edge of the Chaos Storm.
As the distance shortened, Ron could clearly see the terrifying shapes of those creatures.
Two Flesh Demons flapped wings composed of skin and bones, each flap sending up a storm of blood and stench.
Their bodies resembled skinned human giants, with exposed muscles writhing in the air, constantly dripping thick blood.
Even more terrifying was their faces, a twisted amalgamation formed by countless human faces stitched together.
Every face carried an expression of pain experienced in life, mouths silently opening and closing.
Three Dream Spiders were even more bizarre.
Their bodies displayed a semi-transparent state, with colorful liquid flowing inside like auroras.
The tips of their eight legs had human eyeballs that changed color and shape according to the object being observed.
Most disturbing was their abdomen area, where a giant human female face resided.
Beautiful yet eerie, the beauty carried an unreal quality, like an overly perfect nightmare.
"Pathfinder has arrived."
Nari’s voice grew cold again, with a threatening undertone that stirred the surrounding Chaos Storm into agitation: "Those two old bastards’ typical tactic."
"Darling, Mom worries you might get caught in the fight."
Nari began mobilizing her internal life bubble system:
"Let Mom protect you in the safest place."
A special bubble slowly detached from deep within her body.
This bubble was completely different from the previous container holding the puppet.
It directly connected to Nari’s Energy Core, being one of the most crucial parts of her body.
"This is Mom’s most core life area."
Nari explained, her voice carrying a sacred meaning:
"Here, you will be protected by all of Mom’s power.
Even the strongest attacks cannot harm you in the slightest."
Ron gazed at the bubble emitting intense life aura, feelings of complexity surging in his heart.
Nari placing him near her Energy Core showed a level of trust that surpassed any expression in language.
In the Abyss’s survival rules, a creature’s core area is an absolute forbidden zone.
Even the closest kin wouldn’t easily permit others approaching such an important life part.
Because even a mere Apprentice, if willing to sacrifice, could inflict fatal damage on an Apostle-level existence at this position.
Yet Nari led him here willingly, proving she had no worries about any betrayal or harm possibilities...
