Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1070 - 1064: Battlefield Analysis

The effect of [Wrathful Sin] is terrifyingly good!

Due to personal beliefs, Ronald rarely cast such emotion-manipulating vicious spells as [Wrathful Sin] on others in the past.

But today, the occasion and timing were just right.

This attempt yielded results that were indeed shocking.

Out of the seven mages who came from [Rachmont] to the sea, three made such inappropriate actions within seconds after the emotion guidance.

As for the remaining four mages, although they did not simultaneously react in the same way,

upon seeing the decisions of their three companions, they didn't question such actions at all and instead followed suit.

At this moment, in these people's eyes,

it seemed they completely overlooked the disparity in strength present, their minds wholly occupied by the impulsive thought of rescuing the great mage Shui.

This is truly...

Facing such an outcome, Ronald couldn't help but glance at Costate.

The maid, whose mind was completely controlled by the Complete Technique, is inherently immune to the influence of [Wrathful Sin], not to mention that she also had the addition of the [Immortal Substance].

Battles on the mysterious side.

In some aspects, they indeed appear hopelessly cruel.

Though Ronald felt quite sentimental, he was resolute in his actions without any hesitation.

Seeing the mages of [Rachmont] having their emotions interfered with by his spell,

he immediately increased the magic power supporting [Wrathful Sin], prompting these mages to continue approaching.

As for the mages completely unaware of their circumstances, someone continued to shout to Costate:

"Shui must not suffer any mishap, I——"

Just like that, the caster at the forefront suddenly stopped talking.

In their emotionally heightened state, they believed their actions were entirely for the safety of the great mage, with no falsity in it.

But the fact is——

Costate didn't care about the life or death of these mages at all.

The maid only had the safety of the great mage in mind, although these mages were also from [Rachmont], they were completely out of her consideration.

Thus, as soon as the three mages stepped onto the battlefield, they were instantly killed.

The invisible wind blades raging in the sky instantly dismembered the three, their scattered remains swept up by the swirling currents, leaving only a mist of blood in the air in the blink of an eye.

Such a scene is chilling to the core!

"..."

"Costate, look at who you are attacking!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

At this moment, Ronald shivered, hurriedly canceling the interference of [Wrathful Sin] on the mages.

Because even though the first three had died,

the remaining four mages continued advancing due to their sustained extreme emotions, about to follow in their predecessors' footsteps!

In this world of historical remnants, these mages aren't real people, hence Ronald doesn't feel pressured in his actions.

But the problem is, too many can't die here!

With just three deaths now, Ronald began to feel the space destabilizing; if the remaining four also perish, and then Il from the Tri-Tower causes some additional accidental deaths,

undoubtedly, Ronald would face the result of historical cycles repeating.

And imagining the worst-case scenario,

based on previous experience, this might not merely be a simple cycle!

If sent to another timeline in [Rachmont], Ronald and Il's efforts beforehand would be in vain, and they might have to search for the great mage again at that time!

Thus, as Ronald hastily canceled [Wrathful Sin],

the remaining four mages who were about to step onto the battlefield finally reacted at the last moment.

"Ah?!"

"Nois! Carmen! Outlay!"

"Damn, retreat!"

The four casters promptly retreated, and Costate, busy pursuing Ronald, paid them no mind, allowing them to escape successfully.

Afterward, though the temporarily safe four were still shaken, the leader among them realized what had just transpired.

He looked at Ronald with a particularly frightened gaze.

And then shouted out loud:

"You... Please pay attention to Shui's condition!"

"Today's enemy is extremely dangerous, please resolve quickly if possible!"

"..."

At first glance, this shout was merely a usual exhortation, seemingly the only action the four casters took out of frustration at their inability to engage.

But upon hearing it, Ronald noticed a detail.

——[Pay attention to Shui's condition].

Given the actual situation on-site, there was no need to deliberately remind this.

The great mage Shui completely protected in [Immortal Substance] by altering the seawater properties, even Ronald couldn't easily harm him.

So why did these casters mention this?

The likeliest reason is that through the connection of the Crystal Ball, [Rachmont] people are aware of Shui's actual condition now, with the great mage likely unable to hold out for long.

Thus, in calling to Costate, this mage subconsciously added this phrase.

Thinking of this, Ronald's mind stirred.

He immediately spoke to test these mages, to verify his deduction:

"Ha ha ha!"

"Fools of [Rachmont], your great mage can't hold out much longer!"

"Once that guy's Complete Technique fades, whether this woman or yourselves, I'll deal with you all together!"

Ronald displayed an arrogant tone in his testing.

Yet, such a shouting attitude brought about excellent results.

Without needing the mages to respond, merely through his ability to perceive emotions, Ronald confirmed his suspicions were correct.

These mages indeed worried about this matter, their mentality perfectly aligned with his conjecture!

Thus, Ronald's battle plan became simpler.

As long as the combat continues, a time later when the great mage Shui becomes exhausted, victory would naturally belong to him!

However, considering this, another doubt surfaced in Ronald's mind.

Speaking of... the effect of [Immortal Substance] is so potent.

Then why wouldn't the great mage Shui use it on himself and endow his own body with immortality?

Swish——

Just as Ronald's curiosity arose, new developments presented in the sky.

Though Costate cared not for the mages' lives,

regarding the 'Shui' topic in the encounter, the maid's intellect under the Complete Technique's dominion seemed to accept such suggestions.

Therefore, the cold-blooded battle machine made a logical judgment.

Summing up various information since the confrontation with Ronald and swiftly analyzing the situation, Costate unleashed formidable magic fluctuations once more.

Then the maid's figure accelerated again.

Within merely a few breaths' time, she soared to the high night sky, her silhouette halting only parallel to the clouds!
