Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1100 - 1094: Pursuit

A few minutes of pursuit passed.

Ronald and his two companions continued their life-and-death battle in the great maze, even encountering two other Casters trapped there.

These were Ronald's companions from when he first came to the island.

Seeing the three in pursuit, they immediately cast spells, intending to help Ronald delay or even defeat the enemies ahead.

Unfortunately, the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact" had clearly anticipated such a sudden event and had prepared strategies before the battle.

So by simply activating the defensive spells on his robe, he perfectly blocked the attack of these two Casters.

He even used the force of the attack to increase his fleeing speed by a few notches!

The pitch-black maze was filled with terrifying darkness.

Oppressing everyone's nerves.

The pursuit of the enemy continued for quite some time, during which Ronald was continuously obstructed by black mist and had to destroy it.

Finally, after countless attempts, a new change occurred.

This time, the moment the black humanoid figure reappeared ahead, Ronald felt his strength rapidly draining away, like water gushing from an opened faucet.

The lost power was being drawn by some mysterious force to the black shadow opposite, enhancing the abilities it had learned by mimicking Ronald.

"..."

The spell capable of bypassing the "Guardian Angel" defense, with a speed of enhancement and weakening that almost rivaled the spell from "Capitalism."

The level of danger was self-evident.

Yet faced with this situation, Ronald didn't make any unnecessary moves.

He could have used "Threshold of Humanity" to interrupt the spell, but he didn't.

This was because Ronald knew that endless pursuit would only worsen the situation over time. So even if it was risky, he was willing to place a bet at this moment!

Bam— Bam—

Crack!

Thus, Ronald, wielding his Ice Blade, collided with the dark figure.

This time, relying on the power absorbed from Ronald, the strength of the black shadow was on a completely different level compared to before. Ronald had to use every ounce of his strength to completely suppress and once again slice the shadow into pieces.

However, the power of this terrifying spell continued to demonstrate its threat.

Although Ronald successfully shattered the shadow, his strength and magic power, once extracted, were never returned but completely absorbed by the shadow!

"Hahaha!"

Finally, the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact," who had been fleeing all along, stopped his escape.

Feeling his spell perfectly mimic Ronald's and begin absorbing power from this enemy, he was certain the scales of victory had tipped fully in his favor, making him unable to hold back his laughter:

"A monstrous entity, under the Wizard's wisdom, ultimately can only be ground into dust!"

"Now keep chasing me if you can!"

As he spoke, the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact" also intensified his spell.

Under the catalyst of a vast amount of magic power, the black shadow, which would originally regenerate every few seconds, accelerated its regeneration at this moment, then stood between him and Ronald.

At this moment, the spell-created entity had entirely taken on a human form.

Even without a careful look,

one could see it had an identical appearance to Ronald.

If you ignored that its composition was still black mist, not human flesh, then even those closest to him might not spot any details that differentiated them when faced with these two identical bodies.

A black mist humanoid capable of constantly siphoning the strength of the most powerful opponent, coupled with the confidence of the original wielder.

A fair analysis of the power gap between the two sides now.

The Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact" undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Yet faced with such arrogance, Ronald displayed no fear—instead, a confident smile appeared on his face.

It certainly appeared to be the enemy's side with the advantage.

But in truth, this result was Ronald's deliberately crafted goal.

"..."

"Go, kill him!"

At this moment, the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact" issued a command.

While continuing to activate his spell, he directed the black shadow toward Ronald, aiming to strike down the enemy with a pincer movement.

In response.

Ronald, on the other side, raised each of the Ice Blades crafted for him by Nade, then forcefully swung them forward in a cross.

Boom—

The next second, the burning "Solar Power" enveloped the cold sword blades.

Flames enveloped the Ice Blades, illuminating the terrifying darkness, and the steam generated by the evaporation, along with the impact from the magic power, began to ravage the entire tunnel.

This move wasn't simply activating a spell for Ronald.

He significantly extracted magic power from the original manuscript to the utmost extent to enhance his spell!

Even though the black figure had absorbed quite a bit of power, just one cycle wasn't sufficient for it to withstand the fearsome power bursting forth, and it was instantly engulfed by the terrifying attack.

...

The obstacle between the two disappeared.

Next in line to face this attack was the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact" behind it.

At this moment.

The great maze, which had previously favored escape, now became a solid barrier restricting any chance of dodging.

Fleeing backward—the swiftness of the attack outpaced his own speed; and on both sides, the solid walls of the maze blocked all possibilities of escape.

"You... damn monster!"

No retreat, no escape.

As his arrogant stance was vanquished in such a manner,

the Caster from the "Nine Commandments Compact," in a fit of rage, ripped off the robe that had just shielded him from spells and threw it towards the incoming attack.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud explosion,

the robe he was wearing unleashed a tremendous force, finally neutralizing the impact of Ronald's attack.

But amidst the deafening blast,

Ronald's chanting could be heard, moments after the enemy halted:

"Starting from the relationship between the whole earth and the sky, we shall begin to shape our understanding!"

Finally, upon locking onto the target,

Ronald initiated the spell, setting the distance between himself and the enemy to zero.

At this point, seeing the scene ahead, Nade, without a word, swung both hands, then hurled the newly forged pair of Ice Swords forward.

Pa-pa—

Ronald accurately caught these two longswords.

Without even glancing at the enemy's silhouette, he crossed the Ice Blades forward and struck down.
