Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1122 - 1116: Leave It to Me

At this moment, Ronald and 'Gunblade' exchanged a glance.

He understood the source of the enemy's confidence.

According to previous information, the [Nine Commandments Council] currently had the 'Interpretation Book' capable of deciphering the original classics, which they naturally attempted to utilize as much as possible against their enemies.

And at this moment, the three original classics possessed by 'Gunblade' contained spells with extraordinary effects, fully achieving an effect greater than simply summing their potential. Even the previous arrogant attitude had now completely subsided due to Ronald's displayed abilities.

So, from any angle, the current 'Gunblade' was undoubtedly a formidable presence.

Looking over at Ronald—

The enormous scale and intensity of the [Power of Sunday] had completely depleted the value accumulated through the spell 'Capitalism'. Attempting another spell of the same scale in the short term was impossible.

So now, to defeat 'Gunblade', it must be...

Boom—

Suddenly, an explosion sounded above the two.

Ronald and 'Gunblade' simultaneously looked up, witnessing an extraordinary scene.

It was the closest ground to the floating island where they stood, originally part of the [Lachymont] castle district. On the scorched ruins, an unusually distinct magic void appeared.

As for its specific appearance.

It was an opaque, colorless distorted space, giving a strange and peculiar feeling.

"…"

Upon seeing this, Ronald immediately looked towards the enemy ahead.

He wasn't sure if this was a commotion caused by 'Gunblade'.

However, when he saw the enemy's bewilderment and concern directed at him, he realized it wasn't 'Gunblade's doing.

Neither he nor the enemy caused it.

Could it be another caster among them?

Ronald surveyed the surroundings; even the nearest companions were over a thousand meters away.

Judging by the magic fluctuations, it couldn't be their actions.

Was it the hidden spatial risks due to [Lachymont]'s collapse, or was there something else...

Shhh—

Just as Ronald and 'Gunblade' were in indecision.

A bright firelight shot out from the twisted, deformed magic void in the air.

Soon after, a black skirt edge emerged from the space.

From the skirt edge to the body, a beautiful maid holding a lantern stepped out of the uniquely distorted space.

"Costate!"

Ronald directly called out the maid's name.

He truly hadn't expected that the previously troubled Costate would reappear in such a manner.

Moreover, closely observing Costate's current appearance.

The maid's clothing was neat, and her expression was as calm as ever.

She clearly had not encountered trouble or combat but had experienced some unique circumstances, ultimately returning to the present world.

Clap—

Landing above this maritime space, Costate's gaze immediately locked onto Ronald.

The maid jumped without hesitation from the floating island above, landing between Ronald and 'Gunblade'.

"Sir, please forgive Costate for being late."

Naturally, Ronald didn't mind and promptly replied:

"It's alright; the main thing is you're okay, Costate."

"…"

The maid nodded towards Ronald.

Then she withdrew the bowing motion, stood upright, and faced the caster from the [Nine Commandments Council].

"Sir, in the previous two confrontations, Costate wasn't by your side."

"So this time, please allow me to handle this enemy, which is the only way to erase the disgrace I've caused in the historical cycle!"

Costate's tone was exceptionally firm, carrying an emotion that even Ronald found difficult to refuse.

Especially the phrase 'erase disgrace,' which caught Ronald's attention.

He was sure that in the historical cycle, he had only Il as company, making this phrase notably significant.

"…"

"Costate, be careful in the battle, this one possesses three original classics simultaneously."

Ultimately, Ronald agreed to Costate's request to enter the battle.

He was very curious about what Costate had experienced and wanted to see how the maid planned to tackle the enemy at hand.

Moreover, importantly—

With Ronald freeing his hands, he could naturally control the situation better.

Otherwise, fully engaging in one-on-one combat with 'Gunblade', he couldn't consider others, including fellow casters present.

Fully immersed in the battle.

If not careful, these people might face catastrophic disaster!

"Sir, thank you for this opportunity."

Costate stepped forward and her magic fluctuations immediately became active.

In face of Ronald and Costate's unreserved conversation and the maid's approaching steps, 'Gunblade' spoke:

"Costate, is it? I know you."

"A maid of the Adler family, an inhuman creature surviving from the Dark Age till now."

"Do you know that what you guard is not the person you owe allegiance to!"

"…"

Faced with the same situation, Ronald might retort.

But Costate was different.

Even though she had leaned towards human emotions, she spoke no wasted words towards the enemy.

The sole response to 'Gunblade'.

Was the maid's ever-approaching steps and her increasingly strong magic fluctuations.

Seeing this, 'Gunblade' could only curse:

"Hmph! Foolish puppet."

"Unable to distinguish between humans and monsters!"

"…"

Hearing this, Costate's expression instantly changed.

If the enemy insulted her personally, Costate wouldn't care, her heart wouldn't ripple.

But it was different when Ronald was insulted.

Usually, Costate didn't allow anyone to insult her master, which was an absolute taboo.

And currently, Costate carried a deep sense of guilt towards Ronald.

So when the maid heard 'Gunblade's' words, her demeanor became frightening, and she rapidly approached the enemy.

The next second, Costate softly chanted a spell, uttering words that made Ronald's expression change drastically:

"Enemy model analysis complete—upgrade tactics for humans, upgrade tactics for casters, upgrade tactics for holders of original classics. Rebuild model, name—Model of Tactics Beyond Humanity. Start loading—"

Like the past era's Costate encountered by Ronald in the historical cycle.

At this moment, the maid. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
