I have a Synthesizer

Klein felt a slight relief when he saw that Annabella didn't seem to intend to continue attacking.

This fat woman could even neutralize a Destruction Ball; she was far from comparable to an ordinary Archmage.

Her magical power was unfathomable, and her control over magic was even stronger than Klein's.

In this regard, Klein had only seen two people with better magic control than him: his father, Esmond, and Annabella.

But in terms of magic control alone, Annabella was even stronger than Esmond.

She could effortlessly change the shape, properties, and magic conductivity of metal in an instant.

It could be used as a weapon, for defense, or for control; it had almost no obvious weaknesses.

The battle between the two seemed like a back-and-forth affair, with Klein successfully resisting Annabella's attacks, but only Klein knew the truth of the situation.

He had activated the Archon form, Destruction Ball, Fireball, Arcane Shift, and finally even used the Ultron form.

It could be said that he had used all his trump cards, while Annabella had been fighting in a normal state the whole time; Klein didn't believe she had no trump cards of her own.

"So, can we sit down and have a good talk?"

As soon as Klein spoke, Annabella suddenly clenched her fist, and a strong sense of crisis made his hair stand on end.

"If you can get out of my pet's stomach, then we can have a good talk. Alchemy, Serpent."

A huge metal serpent burst out of the ground and swallowed Klein in one gulp.

In the darkness, Klein immediately activated the Ultron form to resist the surrounding strong acid.

He frowned slightly and stretched out the Arcane Greatsword, intending to split the snake's belly with a single blow.

But when he struck, he found that although he had cut through a thick layer of metal, he was still trapped within the serpent's belly.

Unbeknownst to Klein, from the outside, the Alchemic Serpent had completely turned into a metal meatball.

Annabella completely controlled his situation within the snake's belly. No matter which direction Klein attacked, Annabella would immediately thicken that direction.

Annabella's magic control was simply too strong. Even if she was a little slower than Klein, she could still achieve this kind of preemptive strike, using volume to suppress her opponent.

The acid in the snake's belly continued to corrode Ultron's body, and Klein's magic power was rapidly decreasing.

He stabilized his body and immediately used Arcane Shift to teleport, but Arcane Shift is a teleportation of particles.

If the opponent's control over particles was smaller than Klein's arcane particles, and the space was completely sealed, Arcane Shift would not be able to escape from Annabella's metal blockade.

After Klein's figure transformed into particles, he reappeared in the snake's belly before long. Looking at the dark environment and the constantly rising acid, he secretly cursed.

"This is freaking outrageous! Do you have to be so stubborn?

You fat hag, do you have to kill me? Fine, then I'll try it out today and see if your Alchemic Serpent can withstand my Arcane Shock."

Klein was already a little annoyed. He raised the Arcane Greatsword high and began to wildly wave it around in the snake's belly without any pattern.

Every strike triggered a huge energy shock.

And if Annabella wanted to block Klein's actions, she had to supply energy equal to the destructive effect caused by Klein's attacks.

In this situation, defense was more difficult than offense.

The abundance of Klein's magic power had somewhat exceeded Annabella's expectations.

"Why isn't this kid giving up yet? Is his head made of iron?"

Annabella didn't actually want to kill Klein; she just wanted to defeat him and create a clear gap in their status and position, so that she would have a greater advantage in negotiations.

Klein had never had the idea of surrendering or admitting defeat from beginning to end.

Although he was only at the 5th rank, he had already equated his status and position with that of an Archmage.

Although Annabella was powerful, it was impossible to make Klein submit in will.

People of the Jay Society will never be slaves, unless it includes food, lodging, and materials.

Klein really didn't want to wield the God-Slaying Battle Axe, because every time he used this weapon, Klein would have a very bad feeling.

It wasn't a backlash, nor was it a betrayal or anything like that.

It was just an overall discomfort, as if the world was about to be destroyed at any moment.

If it wasn't truly a last resort, Klein would never have used the God-Slaying Battle Axe to break the deadlock.

Annabella's magic power was also close to exhaustion at this point.

Although she was an Archmage, if she was really competing in terms of magic power abundance, apart from King-level, there was simply no one in this world who could compare with Klein.

Seeing that Klein was still unwilling to admit defeat, Annabella had no choice but to release the Alchemic Serpent's belly and end the continuation of the battle.

"Klein, your strength is truly unbelievable."

The strength Annabella spoke of included Klein's combat strength, as well as her evaluation of Klein's magic power.

Klein dispelled the Ultron form, but did not put away the God-Slaying Battle Axe; he didn't know if Annabella would go back on her word and attack him again.

He had already decided that if Annabella attacked him again, he would not hesitate to wield the God-Slaying Battle Axe.

The two remained in a stalemate for a while, without saying anything further.

Seeing that Klein's expression was very cold, Annabella knew that her reneging had angered him.

Now she could only maintain a distance and try to calm Klein down as much as possible.

Klein waited for a while and saw that Annabella really didn't intend to continue fighting, so he slowly put down the God-Slaying Battle Axe.

"Great Master Annabella, shouldn't the most basic integrity and morality be expected of an Archmage?

Such reneging attacks really don't fit the persona of an Archmage."

Klein casually complained a few words, but in reality, the persona of an Archmage was all bullshit.

Because he was very clear that the stronger a person was, the more shameless they would be; this was inevitable.

They would only reason when dealing with beings equal to themselves; at other times, they would basically resort to physical force.

As long as they physically subdued the other party, then the reasoning of the Archmage was the truth.

This was what almost all experts were doing, and Annabella's actions just now were like that.

"Hehe, don't be angry. I think we can have a good talk, and this time, I bring sincerity."
