Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1097 - 1091: Dense Fog

Unexpected events always come together under seemingly coincidental conditions.

At this moment, standing next to Ronald, Kaya is in such an awkward and helpless state.

The spell from the caster of the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] undoubtedly controlled Kaya's body and mind in the previous instant. But immediately afterward, just as Kaya was about to attack her nearby companion, Ronald dispelled the control imposed on Kaya with [Boundary of Humanity].

With such back and forth, the witch raised her hand, ready to cast a spell, but neither withdrawing nor extending it felt right, leaving her frozen in place.

She knew her previous actions were involuntary under enemy control. However, as a result, Kaya had indeed begun preparing a spell to attack the Ronald before her.

Now that full control of her body had returned.

As a person with normal thinking, Kaya inevitably felt guilty and ashamed.

"Kaya, don't worry too much." Seeing the old woman in such an awkward state, Ronald, beside her, immediately began to console, "The priority now is to defeat that guy first."

Kaya quickly nodded and adjusted her mindset:

"Mr. Ronald, you're right."

"..."

Thus, after a short complication.

The caster of the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] above spoke first.

He gazed at Ronald and Kaya below, and eventually locked his gaze unwaveringly on Ronald:

"Impressive, truly impressive!"

"You, this inhuman monster, not only disguise yourself as a human so marvelously, but you've also stolen our caster's spellcasting ability!"

The thoughts in the mind of the caster from the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] clearly matched the words spoken.

Ronald didn't need a spell to sense emotions to gauge the situation; he only needed to see the indignant appearance of the opponent to confirm this enemy, indeed from a self-aware human standpoint, is prepared to fulfill the duty of eliminating him, this 'inhuman' presence!

"..."

Faced with this situation, Ronald was momentarily speechless.

He certainly could open his mouth and confront the opponent directly, but saying such words himself always felt a bit off?

"..."

"Pest! You guys are still the same as before, without any progress!"

Unexpectedly, it was Kaya beside Ronald who spoke up in his defense at the moment:

"Back during the philosophical disputes, you clung stubbornly to your lofty ideals, opposing the parliament's honorables and even branding everything not aligning with yourself as heresy. However, after these hundreds of years, even I, frozen in the Arctic, understand the changes over time and understand how to navigate the world, yet you, with your free bodies, still cling to those antiquated ideas."

"What a joke!"

"Foolish old relic!" The [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting]'s caster was clearly infuriated by Kaya's string of rebukes. He pointed a single hand down at the aged witch, as if endured an unbearable humiliation, "You, encased under the ice, truly do not understand what world change means!"

"Even in this hope-filled world, you still fail to realize your place, mistaking a monster like that beside you for your kin!"

"Hah—"

Upon saying this, the caster from [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] let out an angry laugh.

He couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Kaya.

Or rather, at this moment, even Ronald, entirely a monster in his eyes, wasn't the focus.

For him.

The current objective is simply to defeat the two enemies before him!

In the next second, the marks on this caster's hand flickered, and a grey-white original text book floated into his hands:

"In the northeast sea, constantly battered by storms, stands a solitary mountain island called Gont, with peaks reaching one mile. Many sorcerers are born on this island, famous far and wide!"

As the spell was spoken, magic fluctuations appeared alongside.

White mist, under the wizard's command, suddenly spread through the surrounding air.

And as enemies of the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] caster.

Ronald and Kaya were naturally the first to be enveloped in the mist. Their vision, from the previous darkness, fell into a white bleak void of deceit, unable to see anything else.

Ronald made a quick judgment.

This is a simple function spell, but with exceptionally powerful effects.

From his personal experience, Kaya, whom he had just pulled to his side, was now entirely out of sight, relying solely on his vision.

If it weren't for Ronald's exceptional spell perception providing the location of his companion, he too would have temporarily lost his grasp over the surrounding information.

And in combat, once such an informational advantage is created.

For casters with rather simple means, it's clearly a life-or-death deciding hand!

"Indeed, not simple."

Ronald muttered to himself, immediately deciding to counter with a spell from "Astronomy Master," the incantation naturally escaping his lips:

"By starting from the relationship between the earth and sky, shall we begin constructing our perception!"

Ronald knew that this was a critical moment to decide life and death, so it was impossible to hold back on the spell.

Thus, the ability he activated was the [Celestial Sphere] in "Astronomy Master," meant to synergize various spells, planning to have a high-stakes duel with the enemy in the strongest state.

Similarly, upon his incantation completion.

The spells from "Astronomy Master" began to manifest sequentially.

The first thing Ronald did was to spread the effects of [Eclipse] at the fastest speed throughout the surrounding space.

His decision was simple.

Since the caster of [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] used such human sense-confounding white mist to obstruct their vision, Ronald certainly couldn't continue allowing the other to retain clear battlefield information!

"..."

"Mr. Ronald, is this your spell?"

At this moment, it was Kaya, next to Ronald, who spoke first.

This witch, although skilled and undoubtedly capable in her spellcasting ability.

But caught amidst the battle between Ronald and the [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting], both original bearers, and continually subjected to sense-depriving spells in succession, she admittedly found it a bit overwhelming.

The ancient tomb's darkness suppression…

The white mist's bewildering concealment…

And Ronald's swiftly-cast [Eclipse] darkness that hadn't yet moved her out of its influence.

Any single one of these spells is original-class and remarkably effective.

Or rather, her ability to endure to this point.

Already attests to Kaya's strength!

And when Kaya finally couldn't help but speak, beside her ears, she heard Ronald's soft voice whispering in her proximity:

"Be careful, this guy is coming!"
