Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1061 - 1055: Special Mode

Swish, swish, swish—

Accompanied by the magic power pushed to the limit by Costate.

The surrounding air instantly became violent, transforming into invisible blades that sliced toward Ronald's body, with numerous wind blades forming an overwhelming barrage, making it difficult to discern their specific details.

But unfortunately, this was useless.

Ronald was equally aware of the spell Costate was using now, a system of spells that determined their effects based on seasonal and monthly changes. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Moreover, Ronald was very familiar with its evolution beyond the attack itself.

Besides controlling the surrounding air, he also knew that the ultimate evolution of this spell allowed Costate to manipulate the weather, to stir hurricanes and storms, thereby influencing climatic conditions.

Therefore, Ronald, who knew this spell inside out, stood in mid-air without making any response.

He maintained his posture completely; after activating the Power of Immobility from the [Sin of Sloth] and combining it with the complete defense of the [Guardian Angel], he perfectly nullified the power from the wind blades Costate had hurled at him.

"Hmm? This seems somewhat stronger than before..."

And at this moment, Ronald, who was extremely familiar with Costate, finally noticed a slight difference.

It was a factor he had overlooked before.

Though the space he was in now was a segment of history, it perfectly replicated the past scene and possessed the global spellcasting environment of that time.

Thus, some unavoidable differences started to appear.

Like Costate, who stood opposite Ronald.

The maid from an era where spell effects were incredibly potent, wielding the ability to form wind blades with the air, was slightly stronger than Ronald had observed later on.

"That being said, I suppose I can try again as well..."

Faced with this discovery, Ronald without further ado canceled the enhancement magic on himself and reactivated it in the current environment.

...

The next second, terrifying and beast-like power filled his body.

Though not as pure as the spell environment in the [Infinite Negative Field], after resetting various enhancement abilities, the power Ronald possessed was now incomparable to the previous second.

Ronald was fairly certain—

If he, now like before, kicked Costate in the waist, it would absolutely be a strike deciding life or death!

No matter how the maid increased her chances of survival, in a conclusion of absolute death, she couldn't retrieve any outcome.

Feeling slightly his current power.

Due to previous experiences of numerous power transformations, Ronald quickly adapted to the change in power this time.

However, as he raised his head again, he found Costate's posture somewhat peculiar.

The maid was facing Ronald, mouth open, as if screaming something.

"..."

Costate's actions were completed thoroughly, yet Ronald heard no sound.

Ronald immediately started to ponder:

Given Costate's character, would he still make such meaningless actions after confirming the attack was ineffective?

—Absolutely not possible!

With familiarity with the maid, Ronald immediately denied this result.

Then, as if confirming his guess, Costate's attack swiftly arrived.

Without any magic fluctuation, a strong mental force surged toward Ronald's brain, attempting to fully control and shatter his mind.

Especially when Costate exerted all her strength without reservation.

Even though Ronald promptly defended, the mental force immobilized him for two or three breaths before he finally snapped back to reality.

"..."

Then, Ronald's eyes became clear again.

He still safely floated in mid-air, untouched by any attack.

But upon lifting his gaze toward the opposite side.

He found that within this period, Costate was already cradling her fractured waist.

Costate made very decisive and wise tactical choices; during the rare opportunity she created, she decided not to continue attacking Ronald, who obviously posed a defensive stance, but to take the time to complete healing her injuries with her healing ability.

On one side is a possibly futile attack, on the other a recovery of her state, definitely enhancing her likelihood of victory through healing.

In such a situation, Costate made an excellent combat judgment.

No wonder it's Costate...

Ronald inwardly praised Costate's choice a little.

He then didn't plan to show mercy, preparing to charge the maid and decisively end the battle.

But at this moment, having healed her injuries, Costate said:

"Opposition model analysis complete—Upgrading human tactical level, upgrading caster tactical level, upgrading archetype holder tactical level. Reconstructing model, named—beyond human tactical model. Commencing loading—"

The things Costate casually mentioned were completely unfamiliar to Ronald.

Due to his character.

Though Ronald enjoyed exploring the mysteries of history and knowledge, he had no habit of delving into other people's private matters.

Hence during their interactions, he hadn't inquired in depth about the maid's various capabilities, only probing into the parts he was aware of.

And the result—

Was Ronald starting to feel it was a tricky situation.

After chanting such a string of words clearly targeting him, a peculiar sense of threat began emanating from Costate, giving Ronald a feeling of uncanny threat, as the maid, seemingly easy to destroy at will, now exuded a palpable danger.

Even if remaining unaware of specifics, Ronald was highly convinced.

Whatever mechanism Costate had activated was definitely something hazardous!

Wariness amidst combat is essential, particularly when facing Costate.

Ronald introspected a bit.

The ability to make multiple precise judgments and reactions before was entirely based on his profound familiarity with Costate, producing such a result.

In facing the unknown now, he certainly couldn't continue in the same way.

Thus, the next second, the investigative ability of [Sin of Greed], locked onto Costate.

Corresponding information floated into Ronald's consciousness.

——Archetype Life: Costate.

——This entity is currently in a state of full mobilization of the core archetype, releasing Complete Technique for enhancement.

——Enhancing human model tactics, enhancing caster tactics model, enhancing archetype holder tactics model, enhancing beyond human model tactics.

A string of descriptions.

Unquestionably indicative of Costate's dangerousness at the moment.

Yet faced with such a formidable enemy, Ronald instead felt a slight sense of amusement, even easing the hostility he was originally maintaining.

After all, it's Costate.

Though not the one he had spent time with, the sense of familiarity won't deceive.

Ronald quietly observed the cold and impassive Costate and chuckled softly, as if talking to himself:

"Costate, you truly have hidden some incredible abilities, haven't you?"
