Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1069 - 1063: External Factors

A few short minutes.

Ronald and Costate's figures chased each other across the ocean surface, countless spells unleashed power throughout the entire sky.

Except for the seawater below, which remained completely unaffected under the blessing of the [Immortal Substance], anything with a physical form around them was shredded, even the air and the plague spread by Shui, all turned into a terrifying storm in their chase.

"..."

"Costate, can't you take a break?"

However, even in such an intense pursuit, Ronald still found the spare moment to speak.

This was a battle that could drive ordinary people to the brink of collapse.

In fact, it was an extremely difficult situation for both him and Costate as well, but both of them had absurdly strong physical qualities; one had a firm resolve, the other's mind was controlled by a spell.

So even with such high-intensity combat, it was impossible for the two of them to show any sign of fatigue for the time being.

Even like Ronald.

Because he was helpless with the current situation, he still had some spare time to engage in small talk, probing the magical mind of Costate.

Unfortunately, this probing was completely ineffective.

Just like the information Ronald obtained from the [Sin of Greed].

At this moment, Costate's actions were completely directed by a mind sustained by spells, thoroughly ignoring any external interference.

"Sigh—"

Faced with such an outcome, Ronald could only sigh helplessly.

The barely useful attempts had little effect; to resolve the current battle, he could only rely on himself to continue looking for other methods.

Clang!

Almost the second after Ronald sighed.

The Wind Blades controlled by Costate twisted into several strands in mid-air, then pierced through beside Ronald. And this time, the Wind Blades differed from the previous ones, the new spiral construction emitted special noises in the air, like a metallic sound tearing through the air.

Ronald didn't even need to defend to understand.

Just by hearing that terrible sound, he immediately understood what Costate had done.

The intelligence provided by the Complete Technique did not just specialize in combat awareness. The maid in front of him was even upgrading and evolving spell techniques in the middle of the battle to continuously enhance her power!

He immediately made a few changes in direction in mid-air.

After narrowly avoiding all the dangers in this wave of attacks, Ronald turned around in mid-air and looked at the expressionless Costate. He couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment:

"Costate, when you were following me, you never showed such skills!"

"..."

Ronald was already on high alert inside.

He could actually understand why such a change had occurred, given that Costate's current state was very peculiar.

—Think about the future maid.

To get as close to being human as possible and become a 'real' person, Costate had always been simulating and learning human emotions, which was a stark contrast to the mind model provided by the current Complete Technique.

So even if the two different states of Costate performed so differently in combat, Ronald could completely understand.

It's just the only pity.

This occurrence, for Ronald who was in combat, only meant the danger of the engagement was increasing.

Costate herself was quite formidable, and the enhancement limit of the maid's Complete Technique was also unclear. Continuing at this rate, Ronald could hardly guarantee that he could keep dodging attacks with such ease.

Moreover, the most important point—Ronald was human.

Even though he had many Enhancement Magics and stamina far beyond normal people, in such endless exhaustion, compared to a magic construct like Costate, he would still be the first to be unable to hold on.

Perhaps after enduring to the limit.

He had to use the Complete Technique from "The Origin of Species" to apply some excessively enhanced effect on himself?

"Hmm?"

Just as Ronald was contemplating tactics in his mind, he suddenly noticed something.

From the direction of the magic city [Rychemont], a group of Casters suddenly flew towards the battle scene!

These people's moods were generally tense, clearly there was something that forced them to come here.

—It is the Grand Mage Shui!

Almost without thinking, Ronald made the judgment.

Previously, while he was deceiving Shui in [Rychemont], he had already experienced the Crystal Ball's communication abilities. The fact that someone would come now must mean that someone from [Rychemont] suddenly learned of Shui's situation through the Crystal Ball and hurried over.

A holder of the original text, and someone from the highest echelon of [Rychemont].

Amidst the mysterious side of the great war, [Rychemont] was unwilling to lose this Grand Mage, as it could not bear such a loss either!

Upon suddenly realizing this unexpected turn of events, Ronald immediately had an idea.

He currently had some trouble dealing with the combination of Costate and Shui, but with the addition of these outsiders, the situation might be different.

With this thought made up, Ronald immediately changed his previous course.

He no longer obsessed with keeping his position near the seawater directly above Shui, but instead began to steer the center of the fight towards the direction of the Casters from [Rychemont].

Thus, with mutual actions from both sides, they quickly saw each other's figures in the air.

However, for the Casters of [Rychemont], the road had reached its end.

Even though they could see the scene ahead, the battle scene between Costate and Ronald was too dangerous, even just a few occasional attack aftershocks were difficult for them to handle, they could only dodge.

To rescue Grand Mage Shui in such a situation...

Unfortunately, the nature of [Immortal Substance] had no regard for friend or foe; at this moment, even Ronald couldn't break through the solid seawater, let alone these people, whose abilities were not as strong as Ronald's.

Thus, the scene temporarily came to a stalemate.

The Mages of [Rychemont] weren't foolish enough to make meaningless sacrifices, they immediately began to maintain a safe distance and observe the battle between Ronald and Costate, in hopes of finding a way to rescue Shui.

"..."

Seeing this group of Casters from [Rychemont] start observing the situation, Ronald, who relied on these people to break the deadlock, wouldn't agree.

So almost simultaneously as this scene unfolded.

The emotion-intensifying spell of the [Sin of Wrath] took effect on these Casters.

The [Sin of Wrath] was an original text spell!

Not to mention, it was a concealed force that naturally lacked magic fluctuation, making it almost undetectable by others.

Once Ronald cast it, these Mages from [Rychemont] indeed didn't notice it.

In just over ten seconds, those most concerned about Grand Mage Shui could no longer suppress their increasingly intense emotions, and then, risking their lives, approached the battlefield between Ronald and Costate.

"The situation of Lord Shui is urgent, we must defeat the enemy immediately!"

"Now, please allow us to join the fight too!"
