Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1120 - 1114: Eruption

Whoosh——

Accompanied by the sound of pebbles falling to the ground, Ronald slowly raised his right hand.

With that one move, he not only smashed the head of the 'True Name' into pieces, but the abundant force also drove his arm beneath the surface.

So that when Ronald lifted his hand,

The blood dripping from the back of his hand and fingertips, along with pebbles and dirt, slid off.

Looking again at the corpse below,

Fischer's originally beautiful appearance had turned into a pile of unrecognizable fragments, with only her fiery red hair proving her identity.

"Sorry..."

Ronald softly apologized, then stood up straight.

Destroying Fischer's body wasn't easy for him, but this was a choice made to annihilate the enemy.

Weighing the pros and cons, Ronald naturally acted decisively.

Clap! Clap!

But in the next moment, Fischer's headless body suddenly started to tremble.

Then a black light, which Ronald was quite familiar with, began to extend outward from her broken neck, connecting the scattered body fragments.

The enemy wasn't dead yet!

It even had the power to repair its body!

Upon seeing this, how could Ronald not understand the situation?

This caster, who had crossed the boundaries of life and death with the original spell, still managed to maintain such vitality.

Ronald even sensed another magic power emanating from this body.

It belonged to a companion of this Nine Commandments caster, someone named 'Governor'.

'True Name' had devoured the soul of their companion and acquired their abilities.

Thus, not only did he ensure safety with the ability to transcend life and death, but he even used that healing spell to accelerate the body's restoration!

"..."

"You're really hopeless!"

The previous second, Ronald had slightly relaxed after believing he had struck the fatal blow.

Now, seeing this scene unfold, his anger flared up again, and without a second thought, he stomped on the still-quivering headless body. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

This time, Ronald also infused it with the flames of the Power of the Sun.

Boom——

After a loud explosion, Ronald was a bit surprised.

Fischer's body was severely deformed, but it hadn't shattered as he had expected; instead, the Power of the Sun began to burn continuously on its surface.

This situation didn't arise because 'True Name' had some hidden trick up their sleeve.

Rather, as a result of the parasitism, Fischer's old physical vitality began to recover, bringing forth the numerous features that once enhanced this body.

As a hero who bravely walked the world after the Dark Age, Fischer's physical qualities were excellent.

Though not as extraordinary as someone like Ronald.

Still far stronger than original spell bearers like 'True Name'.

Clang——

Thus, the sword of Saint Catherine once again lay across.

Ronald's expression was extremely grim, yet he still prepared to sever 'True Name's' vitality completely with one more strike.

He then raised the longsword and swung it down.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In that instant, Ronald suddenly turned, placing Saint Catherine's sword vertically before him.

Then, three crisp knocking sounds echoed.

Ronald immediately felt a tremendous force transmitted through the sword.

Although he blocked the oncoming object, his body was inevitably pushed back several meters.

Once he steadied himself and looked up, he spotted the silhouette of 'Gunblade' flying over from a distance, finger pointing directly at Ronald's position.

"..."

"Coward, you've finally returned!"

Ronald retorted sarcastically, understanding everything in his heart.

The reason he could suddenly switch tactics in that moment and defend against the opponent's ambush was because of the warning from his Instinct.

Upon closer thought, this was quite natural.

After all the pursuits and battles, the timid 'Gunblade' had long fled the range of magical influence, only to regain lucidity in a more stable emotional state, and thus returned to the battlefield to continue fighting.

A careful look showed 'Gunblade's' expression was both ashamed and angry.

He evidently understood his previous performance was a result of Ronald's emotional manipulation through spells, hence his current mood was very foul.

Nevertheless, there was a change.

This time, upon hearing Ronald's taunt, while 'Gunblade's' heart wavered, he immediately steadied his emotions.

From earlier battles, he had a vague idea of Ronald's abilities.

Thus, he was now specifically cautious about his own emotions.

"Monster who toys with hearts, don't think I'll fall for it again!"

"..."

"I have no intention of playing with your emotions now." Ronald kept his gaze on 'Gunblade's' approach, eyes resolute. "I'm just in an extremely bad mood right now, so be prepared!"

"?"

Unlike 'True Name', who had escaped Ronald's grasp multiple times, 'Gunblade' was unaware of what had transpired here and unfamiliar with the current situation.

Thus, hearing these words, he naturally looked confused.

He soon noticed something was amiss.

Ronald stood upright, merely pointing the longsword forward, without a hint of magic fluctuation evident on his body.

Only the undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

...

What kind of attack could be made by simply posing without moving?

'Gunblade's' first thought was naturally this.

Yet soon, he noticed something even more unsettling.

Unlike any spell he had confronted before, not a wisp of magic power was visible on Ronald's person, nor was there any commotion typical of a spell's activation.

However, the surroundings, the entire sky, even the shattered earth underfoot and the gradually calming sea beneath, subtly began to hum with the presence of magic power.

This was a phenomenon utterly contrary to reason!

Coming from the Nine Commandments, 'Gunblade' had seen countless original spells.

But every original spell bearer should adhere to the conventional casting process.

That is, the process of Caster — Original Spell — Spell, finally effecting interference with the world. Even the most bizarre abilities are no more than what 'True Name' demonstrated, controlling the seas.

Ronald's action of bypassing numerous methods to directly coax magic from the world itself.

Was utterly unheard of!

...

If someone knowledgeable were watching, they might recognize Ronald's ability as derived from Grand Mage Majie'er's theories.

Typically, this supremely advanced technique would require a great deal of time and effort to learn before it could be executed, even Ronald could not be excepted.

But it happened that in Ronald's possession was a spell called Capitalism.

A spell that calculatively extracts value from all things in the world, enabling Ronald to precisely define reality, thus simplifying the application of Majie'er's taught techniques.

Boom——

The next second, white flames ignited.

The essence-level spellcasting technique once developed by Grand Mage Majie'er.

In the present day, a century later, was once again cast upon these seas from Ronald's hand.
