Chapter 988: Witch Hunt: Red Mist vs. Ryan

Beyond those ranks is a special title known as the \'Commander of the Nation\'. This is an extraordinary position with the highest authority in the entire nation. They are regarded as the gods of the Mechanic Country-a force that instills fear in the territory of their enemies. Now, a Major General from this nation appeared at Walpurgis Night.

"I\'ll show you the power of a Major General!"

Ryan slightly bent his knees before launching himself at high speed.

Boom!!

Red Mist snorted as she unleashed several rays of concentrated flames toward Ryan.

Ryan jumped backward, and energy wings emerged from his back. With a flap of his wings, he advanced forward, skillfully avoiding the flames.

"Energy reading has changed!" Ryan suddenly frowned as his armor\'s sensors detected something unusual within his target.

"Take this!" Red Mist exclaimed, increasing the firepower of her attack several-fold. The spirit energy spread throughout the area.

Ryan quickly crossed his arms in front of him. In the next moment, his body was struck by a highly concentrated flame powered by spirit energy.

Bang!!

A deafening explosion occurred, shaking the entire area.

The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing Ryan standing in the middle of a crater. Electric sparks crackled around his body as he cautiously eyed Red Mist.

"Spirit energy... Calculating compatibility... Determining spirit type..."

Ryan frowned and took a step back. He raised his hand, and blades formed on the back of his palm as he quickly surveyed his surroundings. He needed a strategy to maneuver Red Mist out of this area without causing extensive damage.

Realizing that engaging Red Mist directly would risk significant destruction to the cemetery, Ryan decided to change tactics.

With a resounding "boom," Ryan launched himself once again.

Red Mist unleashed several flame arrows, aiming them at Ryan. Swiftly, Ryan moved his body, slicing through the flame arrows with the blade on his hand to minimize the damage. Swoosh!!

Ryan swiftly closed the distance to Red Mist. He swung his hand, narrowly missing Red Mist as she dodged his blade. Reacting quickly, she crouched and then lunged forward, her fist emitting intense heat as she struck Ryan in the stomach.

Bang!!

Ryan\'s armor dented under the impact, and he grimaced in pain. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed Red Mist\'s wrist with both hands and then delivered a swift kick to her knees, causing her to momentarily lose balance. Taking advantage of this opening, Ryan threw her away.

Red Mist\'s body flew through the air. She glanced ahead and saw an energy beam heading towards her. Reacting swiftly, she crossed her arms in front of her just in time to brace for the impact of the energy beam.

Bang!!

The force of the beam propelled her body even further away.

"This bastard!"

Red Mist realized that Ryan\'s goal was simply to remove her from that location. Clenching both fists, she exerted tremendous effort to halt her airborne momentum.

"If you\'re not prepared to see this place destroyed, then brace yourself!"

The temperature sharply rose as flames erupted from her body. A massive wave of flames swirled above her like a raging tide, illuminating the entire area as Red Mist resembled a dazzling sun.

"Descend! [Demolition Star Light]!"

A colossal ball of flames plummeted toward the ground. The earth beneath dried up as smoke filled the surroundings. The intense heat set almost everything ablaze.

"Damn, she\'s really intent on destroying this place! I don\'t know her story, but I can\'t let her wreak havoc here!" Ryan smiled wryly beneath his armor.

He clenched his fist and raised his hand. With a swift motion, he opened his palm, unleashing

a massive surge of energy that swirled and crackled with mechanical sounds.

"Allocate five percent of armor energy to the Mana Particle Cannon!"

Mana crackled around his armor like lightning, intensifying as the ground trembled beneath him.

In the next instant, Ryan unleashed a powerful energy beam.

The beam collided with the enormous ball of flames, causing a ripple in the air.

Bang!!

The colossal ball of flames was pushed back and then exploded. The resulting blast shook the entire area, and a fierce heat wave swept out, turning grass and trees into ashes.

Swoosh!!

Ryan dashed forward, swiftly closing the distance to Red Mist. He couldn\'t allow her to cause any more damage to the surroundings, risking the failure of his investigation. Launching into the air, Ryan tightly clenched his fist, his energy surging as he reached Red Mist.

Red Mist frowned but stood her ground, meeting Ryan\'s fist with her own.

Both combatants exchanged lightning-fast blows in mid-air. Ryan attempted to maneuver the battle elsewhere, but Red Mist stubbornly held her ground, unleashing powerful attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Ryan pushed himself further, increasing his power and speed to a higher level. Red Mist was taken aback as Ryan successfully threw her away once again.

Ryan followed up by activating additional skills to increase his speed and power once again.

He delivered a powerful punch to Red Mist, sending her flying several hundred meters before crashing into the ground.

"[Dual Element Drive: Lightning and Wind Integration]"

A surge of powerful elemental energy emanated as Ryan soared towards Red Mist,

determined to prevent her from further damaging the land.

Within the smoke, Red Mist stood up, her eyes widening at the intense elemental energy surrounding Ryan. She looked up just as Ryan flew towards her at high speed.

Bang!!

In an instant, pain shot through her stomach as Ryan struck her with his knee. Lightning and wind swirled around his knee before propelling her away.

Red Mist spat out a mouthful of blood as her body flashed through the air, crashing into the ceiling near the miniature moon.

Boom!!

The smoke and dust quickly dissipated as Red Mist gazed down at him coldly from above. The temperature began to rise once again, reaching a level where rocks started to melt.

"You can\'t stop me! Protect this place if you can! Fiamma, let\'s increase the scale!" Red Mist spoke in a low voice, preparing to amplify her power, when suddenly the entire area began to

shake.

Bang!!

A loud reverberation echoed throughout the surroundings. The landscape began to shift as the Dream Power moved strangely.

"What\'s happening?" Ryan muttered, preparing himself for the unknown.

Meanwhile, Red Mist observed her surroundings and reached a conclusion.

"This place is on the verge of transformation."

The Dream Palace was beginning to shift, with all its rooms, spaces, dimensions, and dreams becoming jumbled and intermixed. Established routes and paths were rendered obsolete, affecting not only the Dream Palace but all regions within Walpurgis Night.

"I see... So this must be the Dream Power that orchestrates this game. It moves according to someone\'s will," she muttered to herself.

Red Mist turned towards Ryan, realizing the impending chaos. She raised her hand and declared, "Allow me to send you a parting gift! Walpurgis Night is descending into chaos! No

one can reverse it!"

A concentrated ray of flames burst forth from her palm.

Swoosh!!

Ryan grinned beneath his helmet and responded, "It doesn\'t concern me. I simply need to

fulfill my objectives."

He raised both hands and intercepted the ray of flames.

Boom!!

A massive explosion erupted, but the Dream Power swiftly descended and rearranged the

entire area.

It happened in an instant.

The next moment, Red Mist found herself in a vast new space. It bore resemblance to the previous one, except the cemetery was now absent.

"Tsk! He got lucky!" Red Mist clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She pondered the man\'s objective. Was he trying to complete this game by locating the holy

stakes? The game must not be cleared under any circumstances. The destruction of Walpurgis

Night was her utmost desire.

Descending, she landed on the ground and spotted a small door. Exiting the space, she arrived

in a grand hallway.

"I\'ve used up some energy fighting that guy, so I\'ll devote all my remaining energy to exterminating these witches. He\'s strong. If I want to take him out, it\'s going to require too much effort," Red Mist muttered to herself.

Continuing to walk, she inspected each door one by one, scanning for any witches in the

vicinity. She wasn\'t sure of her location, but she didn\'t care-other witches were likely

experiencing the same disorientation.

...

On the other side, Ryan looked around the cemetery. He breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that only the locations had shifted, not the people-he was still within the

cemetery.

Fortunately, the entire area had been divided into two, and he had managed to throw Red Mist to the other side. Otherwise, she would have been here with him, engaging in battle. "These witches are too stubborn. They always come looking for a fight," Ryan muttered. Mechanical sounds echoed as his armor transformed, revealing his face once again. He stepped forward, surveying the entire cemetery.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and continued, "I\'ve expended some of my power suit\'s energy, so I must complete my objectives. If I\'m wrong, all my efforts will have been in vain. It must be here... The data of the Second Rebel..."
