At the end of the day, magic resonance was nothing more than a special status buff in the game and when applied to the present, it could at most be used as a reference.

Moreover, what Rane was planning to do now was only a state similar to magic resonance, not magic resonance in the true sense.

He didn’t need Rita to trust him, he only needed himself to understand Rita well enough!

Rane’s thinking was extremely clear.

In this move, he was merely Rita’s ‘magic staff,’ her ‘casting medium.’

And not some kind of ‘person’ who was in perfect harmony with her heart and mind.

A qualified magic staff only needed to understand its master’s ‘casting intent’ and output it to the outside world.

The staff itself did not need to ‘think.’

Its role was to transmit the magic that ‘embodied the master’s thoughts.’

Watching the Fourth Calamity control Rita and let her slaughter in all directions through the game, Rane had long since become thoroughly familiar with all of Rita’s casting methods.

Every detail was as familiar as if it had been engraved into his DNA.

It could be said that with his memory now enhanced, Rane probably understood Rita’s thoughts during spellcasting even better than Rita herself.

As long as he wanted to, he was Rita’s external casting brain.

If Rane were viewed as a casting medium, then the compatibility between him and Rita would be infinitely close to 100%.

He was the most perfect casting medium possible for Rita, with no equal.

But something like this was obviously impossible to explain clearly to Rita.

Throwing out a phenomenon similar to magic resonance and letting his little sis think it over slowly would be enough.

“It won’t work. You’ll die.”

While they were talking, the two had already run to the core jade platform of the Pixie Hall.

This was one of Rane’s safety measures.

In the original work, Rita had lain on the jade platform to receive an infusion of power from the pixies.

This showed that the jade platform itself was also an existence similar to a medium.

Even without the authority of a royal covenant, it should still be possible to draw out some power through the two noble covenants.

“That’s not something you need to worry about. If a beast in human skin like me dies, wouldn’t you be happier?”

“You!?”

Stifled by that remark, Rita felt both angry and annoyed.

Before she could explode, Rane shoved her onto the jade platform in one go.

“No time to bicker with you. Get up there and lie down properly. Listen for my signal and release your magic.”

After pushing Rita onto the jade platform to lie down, Rane also sat down beside her, their hands still tightly clasped together.

Rita’s palm began to sweat.

Rane felt a bit disgusted.

‘Looks like the little girl’s stress tolerance wasn’t great. She was nervous to death.’

Lying on the jade platform, Rita’s expression was complicated.

She felt that from the moment she arrived at the Pixie Hall, she had been led around by the nose by Rane.

The content of his conversations with the pixies was even more complicated, to the point where she couldn’t understand a single word.

Clearly, it should have been the first time for both of them to come to the Pixie Hall.

So why was the gap so huge?

Rane’s sharp awareness of danger, his calmness in rapidly grasping the situation and the wisdom with which he immediately came up with follow-up methods to handle the crisis.

These mature responses made Rita feel somewhat inferior.

She felt that she had behaved like a clown making a scene, achieving nothing and looking ridiculous.

‘At the very least, when the critical moment arrives, I shouldn’t drag things down anymore.’

Having deeply realized her own shortcomings, Rita quickly made up her mind.

She wanted to try trusting Rane just this once.

“Don’t just die like that… you jerk of a big brother.”

This soft murmur did not reach Rane’s ears.

His attention was no longer on his little sis at all, but on the large clusters of light orbs not far away.

To be fair, Kaka really did have some tricks up her sleeve.

Who knows how she managed it.

The pixies inside the Pixie Hall, who had long since fallen into total chaos, were now actually obediently gathered around her sides.

They awkwardly avoided the shadow tentacles and, overall, flew toward Rane’s side in an orderly fashion.

“Humans!”

“It’s humans!”

“Why are humans sitting on our coffin lid?”

“Is what Kaka said true? Can these two humans help the boss defeat the Calamity?”

“Why are parts of their bodies wrapped around each other? Are they doing training?”

“I heard that short-lived species develop a strong urge to reproduce when facing death. So it’s true!”

After the pixies surrounded them, they immediately started chattering noisily, giving Rane a splitting headache.

“10-point wild dog! What do we do now?”

Kaka’s sudden trash-talking made Rane’s blood rush upward and he almost lost control.

‘You weren’t like this before, were you? The way you used to lick up to me was humble to the bone. Why did you suddenly flip your face and refuse to recognize me? So in Kaka’s eyes, I’m only worth 10 points? That doesn’t seem right. Then why was her attitude so respectful before?’

He noticed a hint of something off from Kaka’s attitude, but Rane didn’t think deeply about it.

Shadow tentacles were already starting to emerge around the jade platform.

The corrosion of Calamity Goshimt was becoming even more severe.

The Pixie King was already on the verge of collapse.

“Now!”

Rane exerted force with his right hand, signaling Rita to unleash all the magic within her body.

Rita no longer hesitated.

A powerful airflow surged from within her body.

The violent magic she had accumulated over sixteen years poured without reservation through the two tightly clasped hands and completely into Rane’s body.

“Wind Spirit Barrier!”

This was a six-circle wind-attribute magic.

It could unfold a barrier formed of raging winds over an area, defending against all spiritual attacks from the spirit realm.

At this moment, Calamity Goshimt was still within the spirit realm.

In other words, all of its attacks originated from the spirit realm.

Naturally, these shadow tentacles that had seeped in were the same.

In that case, all that was needed was a magic that was specially defensive against the spirit realm to temporarily protect this group of pixies.

Feeling the increasingly surging wind-attribute magic within his body, Rane emptied his mind.

He recalled the state in which Rita had used this magic in the original work.

Raising his right hand, he shouted loudly, “Activate!”

A raging gale suddenly erupted from Rane’s raised palm!

White air currents, like surging silver waves, instantly spread out a semi-transparent barrier above the jade platform.

The barrier was woven from countless high-speed rotating wind blades.

Its edges glimmered with faint green light.

The wind was fierce yet orderly.

Like a wall of protection endowed with spirit, it enveloped the pixie clan within.

The dark green shadow tentacles seeping in from the cracks in the dome.

The moment they touched the Wind Spirit Barrier, they were sliced apart with sizzling sounds by the high-speed rotating wind blades, continuously dissolving away.

However, the shadow tentacles continued to surge endlessly from the cracks, attempting to break through this line of defense.

The winds on the barrier grew increasingly violent.

Green air currents and inky shadows collided fiercely along the edge of the barrier.

At times shredding the shadow tentacles to pieces.

At times being corroded by the shadows, rippling with dark green patterns.

Yet the Wind Spirit Barrier remained firm, using the sharp force of the gale to stubbornly block Calamity Goshimt’s infiltration.

Kaka’s eyes lit up at the side.

“Not bad! This magic’s combat power is as high as 39! Those tentacles outside are only around 40 in combat power. If we can keep casting this magic continuously… there’s a chance, 10-point bro!”

Kaka’s encouragement did not motivate the pale-faced Rane at all.

‘Damn it! Kaka! What kind of sarcastic nonsense are you spouting!? Just now it was wild dog this, wild dog that. And suddenly you’re calling me bro? How can there be such a snobbish score addict!?’

Rane was under immense pressure right now.

Not only did he have to control the magic inside his body that did not belong to him.

He also had to constantly pay attention to the directions from which the shadow tentacles were attacking and adjust his magic output.

Six-circle magic.

This already counted as one of the high-tier magics.

With Rita’s current total amount of magic, it was fundamentally impossible to truly deploy this magic.

Right now, they were completely relying on the magic Rita had stockpiled over the years to maintain the effect of the spell.

Once that magic was exhausted, Rita’s current natural recovery speed of magic would be nowhere near enough.

Ten seconds later, this six-circle magic would completely drain all the magic within Rita’s magic source.

And without magic replenishment, the Wind Spirit Barrier would inevitably stop.

‘Damn it! Don’t stop! Brain! Get moving! If I don’t think of something now, we’re all dying right here!’
