Ram's eyes widened as he witnessed Mai's spellwork in action. His usual calm composure faltered as he tried to grasp what he was seeing.
It wasn't just the complexity of her magic that stunned him—it was the fluidity, the speed, and the precision with which she cast her spells.
Each step Mai took was deliberate, but swift, as though she'd rehearsed this countless times.
As she advanced, multiple spell circles flared to life around her, her hands moving with graceful precision. In a single breath, she began weaving multiple spells together, each one appearing in quick succession as if summoned with nothing more than a thought.
At first, it seemed like a standard set of arcane spells, but what followed made it clear that Mai was operating on an entirely different level, a fusion of arcane and mechanical expertise that left even seasoned professionals like Yang Wei speechless.
The first spell ring, hovering above her, pulsed with a magnetic force.
Suddenly, the rubble scattered across the battlefield—broken stone, shattered armor, and debris—began to tremble.
From every direction, tiny metal fragments lifted from the ground as if drawn by an invisible hand, floating toward the magnetic pulse.
As the bits of iron and steel gathered in midair, they swirled like dust in a storm, rapidly coalescing into a dense cluster of metal particles.
"Magnetic Pulse," Ram whispered to himself, recognizing the initial spell. But this was only the beginning.
Without missing a beat, the metal particles, now clustered tightly together, flowed into the second spell ring that had formed beside her.
The temperature around Mai spiked, the air around the ring shimmering with intense heat as the metal particles were melted into glowing molten streams, their once uneven edges now smooth and liquid.
The molten metal pulsed with a fiery glow, hovering and swirling around her, completely under her control.
"Arcane Smelt," Ram muttered in awe, as his spiritual eye continued to feed him information about the spells, while he was watching the molten metal respond to Mai's will.
It wasn't just the heat that impressed Ram, though—it was the control.
It was one thing to melt metal using arcane energy, but it was another thing entirely to do so while maintaining such precision.
The molten metal flowed around her, shifting and flowing as if it were alive, responding not just to her arcane energy but to her thoughts.
With an almost casual flick of her wrist, she directed the molten mass, shaping it midair like clay in the hands of a master sculptor.
Mai's eyes gleamed with focus as the molten metal twisted and stretched, reshaping itself rapidly into complex mechanical components.
Gears, pistons, armor plates, and long metal tendons formed in midair, each piece assembling itself with meticulous care.
Her arcane energy was intertwined with every piece, infusing them with power, turning ordinary metal into strong spiritual metal.
With a flick of her wrist, the components snapped together, and the molten metal solidified, forming two massive mechanical hands, each two meters long and wide.
Ram shook his head in disbelief. "How many times has she practiced this?" he wondered.
He had no idea how long Mai had been perfecting this spell combination or how she managed to integrate so many mechanical and arcane techniques.
The molten metal still floating around her continued to reshape as she walked, reinforcing the hands and forming smaller mechanical pieces that hovered in orbit around her.
It all happened so fast, yet her execution was flawless. Every movement was like a second nature to her, a well-rehearsed dance.
As Ram focused on the massive mechanical hands floating beside Mai, his Spiritual Eye activated instinctively, revealing a detailed attribute panel of the mechanical hands in front of him.

As she advanced toward the group of Half-Drow Mages, the two massive mechanical hands floated beside her, moving in perfect harmony with her steps.
And with a gentle swing of the giant mechanical hands, two or three Half-Drows who were rushing toward Mai were flung aside like ragdolls, sending shockwaves rippling through the mist-filled battlefield.
The sheer power behind the hands was terrifying, sending them crashing into the stone walls with bone-crushing force.
Their bodies slammed into the rock, leaving behind cracks as they collapsed to the ground, struggling to rise.
Yang Wei, standing beside Ram, finally broke his silence. "Fuck, it's another freak," he muttered, still in shock.
Ram shook his head, a smirk playing on his lips as he thought, "Alas, you haven't seen Su Mu fight. If you saw her, I don't know how you would react." The memory of Su Mu killing the old woman flashed in his mind, it only took one shot.
Although it was largely due to the Old Woman's carelessness, the attack power of that arrow should not be underestimated, and now she is already a Tier 3 Hero professional comparable to General quality creatures.
