In fact, he was not particularly fond of Metal Puppet Series Magic, but as Metal Magic advanced, puppets were an extremely important and powerful branch of the magic schools.
Inside the Silver Magic Ring, there was no corresponding inheritance; if he wanted to continue on the path of Metal Magic, starting to prepare now was just right.
As Ronan was sizing up the Mechanical Grey Goat, it also noticed the existence of Ronan and the Ice Crystal Demon Snake duo.
The little creature was quite alert; it just happened to slip from behind the hill to the front and accidentally made eye contact with Ronan. Upon noticing Ronan, its two short black ears immediately perked up, then it turned around and bolted.
Ronan’s eyes flickered slightly. Without needing any verbal command, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake underneath him quickly slithered away.
Although he came for the Mechanical Heart Ruins, encountering such a heart-throbbing thing at the entrance of the ruins, there was absolutely no reason to let it go.
A small hill, a mere dozen meters high, was nothing but a minor obstacle for the hundred-meter-long Ice Crystal Demon Snake, which could simply stretch over it,
and once the Ice Crystal Demon Snake crossed the hill, Ronan was shocked to find that the Mechanical Grey Goat had already run hundreds of meters away.
It had an apparent limp, yet its speed was unbelievably fast; in just a blink of an eye, it nearly escaped the coverage of Ronan’s spiritual power.
The pursuing Ice Crystal Demon Snake opened its mouth and exhaled the Extreme Cold Kiss.
Rolling ice frost turned into a chilling stream, a column shooting downwards rapidly towards the distant Grey Goat.
Wherever the column passed, vast stretches of land were directly frozen by thick Magic Ice Frost, turning the area of several miles around as if it had shifted from the heat of summer to the depths of winter.
The Ice Crystal Demon Snake, having advanced to Third Rank, had a hint of the imposing aura of an Ancient Magical Beast when it breathed out.
The spreading frosty stream caught up with the fleeing Grey Goat in the blink of an eye, solidly freezing it into a block of ice.
The limping Grey Goat, with its limbs splayed as if in mid-sprint, was encased within the translucent solid ice.
After doing all this, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake closed its mouth, leisurely and unhurriedly slithered towards the front.
However, before it could carry Ronan to the spot, the huge block of ice exploded with a "bang," and a grey shadow disappeared at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Not only did Ronan pause, but the Ice Crystal Demon Snake was also stunned.
Both Ronan and the Ice Crystal Demon Snake were very clear on the magical power contained in that breath of Ice Frost.
A typical Third Rank Magical Beast hit by that breath would most likely have its flesh and blood frozen stiff on the spot, if not dead, it would definitely be unable to move for a short period.
It was by wielding this Frost Power, inherited from its Bloodline, dating back to ancient times, that the Ice Crystal Demon Snake feasted grandly in the Primitive Forest, regarding various Magical Beasts, even those stronger than itself, as resources for growth.
Ronan had also experienced it; even though he possessed the Bloodline of the Ancient Frost Multi-Headed Snake, being directly hit by the Ice Crystal Demon Snake’s Talent Breath was not a pleasant experience.
Yet, that seemingly ordinary Mechanical Grey Goat had so effortlessly... broken free?
Even its escape speed had not been affected in the slightest.
Were the mechanical components and Rune Formation inside its body not damaged at all by the Frost Power?
The Ice Crystal Demon Snake felt its sovereign dignity challenged, especially by a being it regarded as an ant, its eyes instantly darkened, ready to give chase once more.
However, Ronan was faster.
Under the Magic Robe, two kinds of metal writhed like living creatures, quickly attaching to Ronan’s body, transforming him into a Mysterious Knight shrouded in layers of armor.
The [Space Silvering] Seal activated, and the black metal armor turned into profound and magnificent silver.
Ronan’s figure shuddered, and the sunlight scattering on his body refracted a hazy and mysterious hue.
He momentarily disappeared into the air, reappearing hundreds of meters away.
After the initial creation of the [Space Silvering] Seal, Ronan, with the use of [Living Steel], could achieve an effect similar to the [Short-distance Space Transmission] of the Mirror Dagger Artifact.
Whether chasing an enemy or fleeing, he no longer needed to keep stabbing himself with the Mirror Dagger as he had during the battle on the Goblin plain.
Although the transmission distance was not far, at most half that of the Mirror Dagger Artifact, because it was activated through the Soul Seal, the cooldown was much shorter, only a few seconds. Comparatively, it greatly enhanced Ronan’s mobility.
After a few flashes, Ronan once again spotted the Grey Goat.
At this point, the creature had inexplicably stopped, burying its head into a small mound, as if frantically digging at something.
Ronan saw tiny fragments of light emitting from the mound, and he faintly sensed fluctuations of Spatial Energy.
Underneath the mask inlaid with space runes, Ronan’s eyes flickered slightly, without any hesitation, parts of the metal constituting his full body armor swiftly detached, shooting out like sharp arrows.
The silver glow leaped through the sunlight, abruptly appearing in front of the Grey Goat, and then under Ronan’s control, quickly wrapped and enshrouded it.
Ronan stretched out his right hand toward the distance, his fingers curling into a vague grasp.
In an instant, the silver metal entangling the Grey Goat silently solidified, reflecting a smooth, mirror-like luster.
