Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1118 - 1112: Fury

Sure, here's the translation:

The spell that drives the ocean actually has a follow-up!

Ronald treats the enemies from the [Nine Commandments Meeting] seriously, even though they are weaker; and he holds the ever-surging sea below in deep respect.

So controlling his body to move in the air, Ronald plans to first leave the coverage area of this changing seawater.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

As Ronald changes his position in the air, the circle formed by the seawater below moves in sync, constantly ensuring he remains at the center.

As expected, dealing with any Original Code holder is never simple.

Seeing the situation so, Ronald's decision is swift.

He no longer studies how the seawater changes below; instead, he flies upwards and stands on a piece of floating land carrying the ruins of [Rachmont].

This here is where the 'Governor' fled upward earlier.

Though the caster from [Nine Commandments Meeting] knows Ronald has strong reconnaissance abilities, perhaps out of wishful thinking he's chosen this ground littered with building debris as a landing spot.

After all, he might get some help from the complex terrain.

Unfortunately, Ronald's reconnaissance magic completely locks onto him, and upon stepping onto this place, Ronald directly moves towards the enemy's position...

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Ronald furrows his brows.

He recognizes this piece of ground!

Before entering the historical loop of [Rachmont], Ronald once destroyed a piece of the building to extract the Original Code, which was also where the Great Mage Majie'er owned an experimental lab.

Subsequently entering the historical loop, Ronald even directly entered here and stayed for a day.

So even if this castle tower is severely damaged.

Ronald instantly recognizes this place belongs to the Great Mage Majie'er.

That caster of the [Nine Commandments Meeting].

By coincidence, he actually ended up in this area!

Feeling wary, Ronald no longer strides straight towards the enemy's position, but instead recites a spell again while they aren't face to face:

"From the relationship between the earth and the sky, we begin constructing our cognition..."

This time, Ronald activates the spell [Measure Length].

Due to the record of the [Celestial Sphere], he doesn't need to face the enemy and can naturally lock onto them with the spell.

The [Power of the Sun] burns fiercely again.

Ronald swiftly raises his longsword and slashes towards the air ahead, also targeting the enemy hidden in the ruins.

"Ahhh!"

A miserable scream suddenly erupts.

At the location Ronald locked onto, the 'Governor' crashes through the ruins in front, staggering forward with a terrifying sword wound extending from his right shoulder to the end of his abdomen.

Upon seeing the 'Governor' figure, Ronald's gaze also sharpens.

Their confrontation isn't much different from before.

During the escape, the injuries the 'Governor' previously sustained have completely healed, without a trace of scars on him.

Only the new cut by Ronald's sword leaves a mark on him.

But what truly concerns Ronald is why the 'True Name', which has been advising earlier, is now silent?

The most likely reason—

Is that the enemy is maintaining the spell causing the seawater to change, leaving no time or energy to speak.

"Hahaha, you monster, meet your doom!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

false start, as soon as the guess formed in Ronald's mind, the voice of 'True Name' immediately emerges from the 'Governor's' body.

"You missed the only chance to defeat us, now your only path is death!"

"..."

At this moment, the voice of 'True Name' is incredibly weak compared to before, yet its attitude remains arrogant and insolent, evidently satisfied with its final spell.

And this sound mixed with the painful screams of the 'Governor' sounds both eerie and unsettling.

So Ronald doesn't speak, he raises the sword and swings once more.

This time he sees the figure, specifically aiming for the head, so he swings horizontally.

Crunch—

The 'Governor's' head instantly flies off.

He indeed forced himself to cast a defensive spell, but not understanding Ronald's attack principle, this action was utterly useless.

The keen edge of Saint Catherine's sword didn't even cross his defensive spell, thus taking the life of this Original Code holder once more.

"Hoo—"

Ronald finally exhales.

Now with the caster and the possessing soul both dead, the spell controlling the ocean below should also lose effect, right?

"..."

"Ahhhhh!"

However, a wail echoes again.

'Governor', who lost his head, should be incapable of making a sound, yet such screams inexplicably arise from within his body.

Ronald has abilities concerning the soul.

So he clearly sees the black glow symbolizing the 'True Name' residing in the 'Governor's' body flash by and disappear. After which, the 'Governor' truly died, with not only his body but even his soul vanishing along.

The companion residing in this caster's body, at the last moment, crazily devoured the 'Governor's' soul, causing the originally weak evil spirit to burn fiercely:

Whish—

Immediately, a black light shot out from the fallen corpse.

Using the power gained from just devouring his companion's soul, the 'True Name' again turned into its before form, burrowing into the ruins in a disgraceful and shameful manner.

...

Ronald's eyes widened.

In that moment, he realized the enemy's intention.

The 'True Name' abandoned the companion's body to burrow into the ruins, the only possibility is there's another worthy vessel for its parasitism inside.

How could I let you succeed!

Almost instinctively, Ronald leaped forward, the Saint Catherine's sword ablaze in his hand like a massive torch, it smashed into the ground fiercely.

Boom!

The flames burst on the ground, Ronald's speed is extremely swift, but the black light actually exists above the ruins.

This strike ended up letting this guy escape.

Who is this guy going to parasitize next!

Thinking of this, for the first time since the battle began today, Ronald's anger directly rose from his heart.

"You dare..."

Rumble!!!

Almost simultaneously, the sea below roared.

The 'True Name's' final interference with the sea completes at this moment, the waves of tens of meters rise again, forming a horrific wave over a hundred meters.

Even the ground where Ronald stands in the air, gets surpassed by these layers of waves' height, circling him in the center!

How should this spell be countered?

Is the attack caused by the spell merely a crush of seawater?

Ronald tries to control his anger, analyzing the situation, preparing to face the seawater surging towards him.

"..."

"Boss, leave this to me!"

But at this moment, Il's voice suddenly arises.

Then this guy who has always been following Ronald actually jumps straight into the huge furnace formed by seawater, fearless!
