Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1099 - 1093: Shadowy Figure

"Leave the weapon problem to me!"

After Ronald responded, Koya immediately replied loudly.

Then the elderly witch's spellcasting movements were similar to before, yet different.

In this ever-changing battle situation.

Koya quickly handed Ronald two longswords made of pure ice crystals with her ice-crafting skills.

"Thanks a lot!"

Ronald expressed his gratitude to Koya straightforwardly.

He then grasped the two ice blades in his hands, immediately sensing the extraordinary nature of Koya's spell.

Holding the two ice swords in his hands.

Ronald felt no chill invading his body; instead, a coolness that calmed his mind flowed from the sword's hilt into his brain.

As for the weapon's sharpness.

Just by looking at the edges of the icy longswords, Ronald knew they were rare, fine weapons!

Within a few seconds, Ronald had resolved his weapon limitations.

And during this time.

The caster from the upper[Nine Commandments]did not remain idle.

He observed Ronald and Koya below, with the incantation already completed. Then he called out new words loudly towards the dark abyss below:

"Kalan Deke, obey me!"

The abilities of the [Nine Commandments] caster originated from the [Earth Sea Legend] series True Name Magic.

As he executed the ability, Ronald immediately felt someone interfere, seizing the control of the spell he had summoned with [Eclipse]!

Ronald focused his gaze, immediately canceling the influence of [Eclipse] around him.

The power brought by the True Name system was indeed formidable!

Even spells entirely cast by Ronald could change ownership if the True Name was cracked by the opponent.

In the next battle.

He must always be wary of this difficult-to-defend ability from the opponent.

...

Thinking this, Ronald's hands didn't pause.

With both hands gripping the ice swords Koya crafted, he pushed off with his feet, leaping towards the [Nine Commandments] caster in the air.

"Heh. Foolish non-human creature."

But facing Ronald's attack.

The [Nine Commandments] caster remained extraordinarily calm.

He didn't care at all about Ronald canceling the control he had seized with [Eclipse]. Instead, he sneered at Ronald rushing towards him with everything under control.

In the next moment, a sudden change occurred.

In Ronald's forward path, the black mist figure, which had been replaced into Koya's ice fog by this caster and should have been completely frozen, unexpectedly materialized right in front of him!

And the changes in the spell didn't stop there.

Facing the obstacle before him, Ronald didn't hesitate, immediately swinging his sword at the black mist. But as he swung, the black mist manifested in the air also changed simultaneously.

The black mist grew two longswords identical to the ones in Ronald's hands on its arm and clashed with him in the same posture.

Bang—

The cold ice blade collided with the shapeless black longsword in mid-air.

Ronald felt a slight obstruction in his hands, but under his immense power, the black mist figure creating the swords was torn apart instantly, dissolving into the air.

At this moment.

Ronald was very close to the dispersing black mist figure.

In this situation, he discovered something he had to be cautious of.

In the dissipating black mist, he vaguely saw a gradually forming clear human face. Although its features were blurry due to the black mist's composition, it was difficult to recognize.

But Ronald recognized it, it was his own face!

The humanoid black mist was mimicking him!

In a life-and-death spell duel, this was definitely not meaningless.

Moreover, just now, before Ronald's eyes, the black mist imitated his actions, simulating the attacking posture of wielding a longsword.

...

Considering the worst-case scenario.

Perhaps after some time, the black mist figure could mimic all his actions, even including his spells.

Ronald had a bad premonition.

So he composed himself, began chanting incantations, ready to take down the enemy above with the force of thunder.

But at this moment, unexpectedly.

The enemy took actions completely contrary to his earlier demeanor.

In the second before, the [Nine Commandments] caster, who looked at him with contempt, turned around to escape into a dark passageway of the ancient tomb after seeing Ronald shatter the dark figure before him.

In such a hurried and flustered manner.

To an onlooker, it might even seem that he was fleeing the battlefield.

"Koya, stay close behind me!"

"Mr. Ronald, you pursue without worry, I will follow up!"

In the pitch-black abyss, Ronald and Koya exchanged brief words.

Then Ronald sped up to chase in the direction where the[Nine Commandments]caster had fled, while Koya, though much weaker than before, mustered all her strength to catch up with Ronald's figure.

The three formed a uniform formation, starting the chase in the dark maze.

Ronald's speed was undoubtedly the fastest.

However, due to the oppressive dark environment of the labyrinth and the opponent's home-field advantage as a caster, his distance from the enemy closed slowly. It would take an estimated few minutes to catch up.

As for using spells to obstruct...

In Ronald's hands, word spirit magic could activate quickly, but for the current opponent, the advantage of the[Nine Commandments]wizard as the original spell holder made its effect not robust enough.

Spells like those in [Astronomy Master] were effective enough but required chanting.

In the maze's winding routes, after one turn, another turn often hides the enemy from view.

Plus, the dark essence in the environment suppressing spells.

Ronald using such spells could easily be avoided by the enemy using terrain to escape locking.

Not to mention, periodically.

In front of Ronald, identical figures to the black mist he shattered earlier would appear, blocking his path.

Each time he smashed it, he sensed the black mist subtly growing stronger.

The tactics of the[Nine Commandments]caster were straightforward.

His current running wasn't a fearful escape from combat.

Instead, this guy planned to delay time, using the already constructed original spell to exhaust Ronald and Koya!
