Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1071 - 1065: Smooth Sailing

What is Costate trying to do?

Seeing the maid rapidly fly into the air, Ronald, whose mind was still in combat mode, was momentarily stunned and did not react immediately.

He just remained in his original position.

Assuming it was merely the maid's combat ability that had evolved under the enhancement of the Complete Technique, he thought this flight into the sky was just a prelude to a new spell attack on him.

So Ronald seriously assumed a defensive posture.

He focused entirely on Costate above him, cautiously awaiting her next move.

But soon, Ronald's expression changed slightly.

— He realized he might have guessed wrong!

The situation did not continue to deteriorate but instead began to improve.

At this moment, Costate was in the high sky, and a strong magic fluctuation erupted from her body, quickly disturbing the surrounding air with her ability.

Next, a mass of clouds that had gathered at night spread across the sky, covering the entire expanse of the sea.

The nearby sea area was shrouded in this thick shadow, significantly reducing the visibility.

However, despite Costate's astonishing actions.

Coincidentally, Ronald happened to recognize the ability she was using this time!

The spell in the maid's hands that controlled the air, when maximized, could result in a terrifying ability that influenced weather within a specific range.

Back in the Yizi Forest, when facing that dust beast for the last time, Costate had used this ability, even assisting Ronald in casting the thunderous power of the "Rain Mist Divine Hammer."

Since then, the limitations on deploying the "Rain Mist Divine Hammer" by Ronald changed. Besides natural rain, during the first two months of spring, when Costate could activate the related spells, this ability could also summon lightning.

While it did not bring about earth-shattering changes, it certainly marked a real increase in power.

And now, a situation that made Ronald feel mixed emotions occurred.

This Costate in the sky had never seen him use the original powers of the "Rain Mist Divine Hammer" in battle. After being reminded just upon arrival by the Mage Lachimont, Costate made her judgment.

To save the critically endangered life of the Grand Mage Shui.

She must hasten the conclusion of this battle.

So the maid seized this opportunity to ascend into the air, preparing to change the surrounding weather with this spell to deliver a more comprehensive and denser attack on Ronald.

Indeed, Costate was preparing to unleash a storm to deal with Ronald!

"..."

Confronted with this situation.

Ronald truly felt an urge to burst into laughter.

From the start of the battle, Costate and Grand Mage Shui, with their superior combat skills and spell-casting abilities, had caused him no small amount of trouble. If Ronald were careless, he could easily lose against them in their intense battle.

Yet who would have thought, in the end.

The thing leading him to victory would be Costate's misjudgment of his ability?

Ronald's delight reached its peak, but he knew he needed to stay composed, so he forcibly suppressed his laughter.

He wouldn't expose a flaw at such a moment.

Because even though Costate was now high above, she, possessing complete logical thinking, would certainly infer something if she saw his expression suddenly change.

If victory was to be achieved.

Ronald's task now was to maintain his state consistent with before, ensuring Costate above had no suspicion.

Following this line of thought, Ronald's wings flapped, making it seem genuinely as if he was uneasy due to Costate's actions, hastily flying up to intercept the maid's spell.

"That guy is going up!"

"Stop him, don't let him fly up!"

At this moment, an even more favorable situation unfolded.

When Ronald flew upward, several casters from Lachimont observing the scene also noticed this.

These mages had just arrived on the scene, previously controlled by their spell-induced emotions.

Now still shaken, their understanding of Ronald was even less than Costate's.

Thus, these individuals made the same judgment as the maid above.

Ronald was desperate to stop Costate's impending spell!

With this thought emerging.

To the casters of Lachimont, this scenario became an actionable possibility.

Though they couldn't personally enter the dangerous battlefield between Ronald and Costate, causing minor disturbances at a moment like this wasn't an issue.

Almost immediately when the words left their lips.

Four surviving mages urgently cast their spells, each possessing different abilities but aiming to delay Ronald's approach to Costate as much as possible.

"..."

As for Ronald's feelings now...

What could he say? It was like a pillow for someone sleepy.

He initially worried that his speed might be too fast and he would reach Costate before she finished concocting the spell and disrupt her.

But with these Lachimont mages taking action, the scenario was different.

Facing spells that he could usually disregard with his passive defenses alone, Ronald deliberately feigned dodging attacks to slow his upward flight.

Thus, with this delay back and forth, Costate in the high sky finally completed her spell.

Woo woo woo—

In an instant, the clouds emitted mournful cries, as if some terrifying, unknown presence in the air was roaring downward.

The storm immediately followed the changes in the clouds.

On this dark sea surface, the clouds churned the entire night sky like forming a monstrous entity, while the storm raged everywhere within its presence.

Faced with this situation, the four distant Lachimont mages could no longer stand their ground.

They hastily retreated backward, eager to distance themselves from the storm's center.

And confronted with Costate's already unleashed spell, as the target of this incantation, Ronald seemed stunned by the scene, simply waiting in place for changes above.

Drip drop—

Finally, a raindrop fell on his face.

At this moment, be it raindrops hitting his body or the Gale blowing beside him, the magical erosion within all reminded Ronald—this was a powerful spell that, if it continued, could harm anyone!

But this intense magic did not change Ronald's smile.

"Costate, tonight ends here."

Then, Ronald waved once last time toward Costate in the sky and then took out the ancient, hard slab:

"The sky is severed in daylight,

The land splits from the edge,

The name of the child of man is not yet established:

"..."
