Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1096 - 1090: Obtaining the True Name

At the moment the Caster from the [Nine Commandments] uttered his own name.

Ronald already sensed a powerful spell synchronously locking onto himself.

However, the outcome did not go as the opponent intended.

As the Caster denied Ronald's name, the spell's effect instantly vanished into thin air, as if nothing had ever happened in the air.

It was evident. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Certain conditions at this moment did not meet the requirements for the spell to activate.

As someone who had once read the enemy's original texts, Ronald knew very well what this meant.

— A true name.

— The enemy was attempting to call upon his true name.

In the original work of "Earth Sea Legend," there is a concept—that everything in the world has its own true name.

The spell techniques of Earth Sea Wizards essentially stem from knowing the true name of all things and then incorporating them into rules of control. The protagonist in the book could even subdue evil dragons and quell earthquakes through this method.

If this ability were reflected in the original texts...

Undoubtedly, it would become an immensely versatile and impressive spell!

"No, you are not truly a human of this world!"

"..."

At this moment, the Caster from the [Nine Commandments] spoke again, leading to Ronald's silence below.

Is he considered human?

Upon introspection, Ronald naturally considered himself human.

Whether in spirit or faith, he had always regarded himself as a mortal with some abilities and did not wish to abandon this mindset as he grew stronger, ultimately thinking of himself as some 'Transcendent' distinct from humanity.

But this is ultimately a judgment from deep within his heart.

If determined by the actual operating rules of the world, then Ronald probably could not be considered a human in this world.

At best, he was a ghost inhabiting a human body or an undead summoned from another world.

This is what objective reality dictated.

Ronald's already solemn gaze became even more serious.

Regardless, being able to judge this information so quickly, this Caster from the [Nine Commandments] was definitely no simple character.

Meanwhile, the people shocked by this Caster's words were not only Ronald.

As soon as these words were spoken, even Kea on the other side showed a look of suspicion.

The man before her wasn't Ronald Adler?

By Kea's judgment, the expression of the Caster from the [Nine Commandments] did not seem disguised. However, based on her discernment of Ronald, Kea knew that the person in front of her was the very man who had rescued her from her icy confinement.

He was also Miss Costate's master and the inheritor of the Adler lineage.

So the question arises.

Why would this Caster from the [Nine Commandments] say such a thing? And even question it after the spell failed?

Kea did not linger too long on this.

She was also a powerful Caster who had been through many life turbulences, so she quickly gave up dwelling on this matter.

Ronald's origin was not important, or rather not the most crucial issue to resolve at that moment.

The ultimate goal for Kea was solely one.

— To defeat or kill the enemy from the [Nine Commandments] before her!

Having resolved from deep within, someone like Kea had absolutely no reason to waste a chance.

She aimed at the enemy whose face still held a highly shocked expression, subtly changing the gesture in her hand that was wielding the ice blade.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —

Kea's manipulation of the spell was both swift and precise, also maintaining concealment.

Under the suppression of perception and spellcasting ability over humans in the great tomb, even Ronald did not react in time.

Merely a fleeting moment.

The ice blades originally embedded in the surrounding cliffs suddenly erupted with strong power, each extending a sharp and slender icy spike from their exposed parts, aiming at the airborne enemy.

Kea and the Caster from the [Nine Commandments] had been in battle for quite a while, and in the high-intensity combat, the number of ice blades lodged into the walls exceeded a hundred.

The result was as follows.

A dense growth of ice needles from the ice blades, piercing through the entire space, even cleaving the broad dark tunnel into halves.

If this Caster from the [Nine Commandments] failed to escape the attack range.

Then the holes in him would surely outnumber the ones on a normal household showerhead!

"..."

"Kea, he evaded your attack!"

After a few seconds of silence, the first to sound was Ronald's urgent reminder.

Upon hearing this loud shout, Kea's expression froze in the air.

Though she could normally fight in the great tomb, the suppression on her was also quite serious. At that moment, the ice needles she had created blocked all vision, almost stripping her of the ability to locate the enemy.

Not to mention she had just cast such a large spell, her stamina and spirit were not yet recuperated.

Ronald speaking at this moment...

Rather than a reminder, it sounded more like a verdict on her defeat!

Whoosh—

At this moment, a tremendous force suddenly appeared at Kea's waist, and subsequently, she uncontrollably fell downward.

It was Ronald who intervened.

He had seen through Kea's plight and immediately activated a spell to pull this witch from above, bringing her to his side.

Falling through the air, Kea happened to see the scene above.

On the stone slab where she had previously stood, the Caster from the [Nine Commandments] materialized from the dark air.

The enemy had unknowingly sneaked up beside Kea, awaiting the moment to strike her down.

However, due to Ronald's intervention.

His action interrupted the plan midway, resulting in him watching helplessly as Kea fell downward, finally landing beside Ronald.

Having been saved from a perilous situation, Kea naturally began to express her gratitude to Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, thank you very much…"

"Han Yufeng, you shall stand as my companion, fighting against the evil foe!"

Before Kea could finish, the Caster from the [Nine Commandments]'s loud and commanding voice echoed from above.

Although under the great tomb's suppression, Ronald's ability to perceive his surroundings significantly declined. Yet he still detected a surge of magic power forming beside him on Kea, as the enemy called out.

The target was Kea, and in a daze, this witch didn't resist at all!

— It's bad

— Han Yufeng is Kea's true name!

Ronald immediately understood everything.

The Caster above from the [Nine Commandments] had cracked Kea's true name within their system through their original text spells and now uttered it to exert control.

The companion whom Ronald had just rescued.

Instantaneously became his enemy as the spell took effect!

Hence, Ronald also didn't hesitate in making his response—he activated the [Limits of Humanity].
