Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1124 - 1118: Spectacle

In a way, Costate truly perfectly countered the abilities of the 'Gunblade'.

For a normal human like Ronald, engaging in battle inevitably leads to feelings of hostility, thereby immediately being restrained by the defensive rules of the 'Gunblade'.

This was the speculated outcome earlier.

In Ronald's plan, he prepared to unleash a massive spell, causing drastic environmental changes, and then defeat the 'Gunblade' through an 'unexpected attack' that wasn't directly targeting it.

This is an effort-heavy method, requiring a hundred units of effort for perhaps ten units of success.

But it's a strategy likely to be effective against the enemy.

However, Costate is different.

Even though she now gradually possesses a nearly complete personality model, the foundation of her personality is still based on the puppet intelligence established by magic spells.

She only needs to shift her combat objective from targeting the 'Gunblade' to constructing her own combat framework, which might directly bypass the 'hostility' premise essential in human battles.

Under normal circumstances,

Costate might not be able to quickly detect such a response method.

But precisely on the ruins of [Lakmont] island, she triggered the special mechanism during the destruction of the historical loop, thereby establishing a connection with the 'Costate' who fought Ronald within that historical loop.

This change is absolutely a fundamental leap!

Not to mention the experience drawn from the long historical loop, merely the experience of fully engaging with Ronald already exceeds imaginable value.

The essence of Costate's abilities lies in the enhancement brought by gestalt thinking.

When dealing with known enemies, she applies the most suitable battle strategy; and when facing unknown enemies, she can learn and evolve during combat, thereby bringing suitable combat models to use.

Thus, the [Transcendental Human Model], born from fighting with Ronald, this non-existent combat model in the world, currently sustains Costate's combat core.

Bypassing the defensive rules of the 'Gunblade' is actually one possibility within this combat model.

"Ah ah ah!"

At this moment, the 'Gunblade' let out a miserable scream during the battle.

With the collapse of one end of the floating island, both he and Costate were falling alongside the landslide, seeking opportunities to defeat the enemy in a chaotic and dangerous environment.

The result of such a scene was that Costate won thoroughly.

Even though the 'Gunblade' was extremely cautious in battle, the maid took advantage of the falling rocks and human visual perspective, forcibly breaking free from his notice and then chopped down at a very close distance.

With one hit, the 'Gunblade's left arm was directly torn at the joint.

He could certainly use the original canons of his companions for healing, but under Costate's stormy attack, simply maintaining a draw was already difficult enough, let alone having the chance to heal himself.

Whoosh——

Gravely wounded, with Costate's attack, his own defensive capabilities failing, and Ronald, a formidable enemy, still watching closely from the side.

In such an environment, the 'Gunblade' inevitably became flustered.

And in this battle, a momentary distraction could lead to fatal consequences.

Just having severed the 'Gunblade's arm and pulling away, Costate had no possibility in her mind of letting this opportunity slip.

The maid directly stepped on a falling rock in mid-air, accelerated in the air, and approached the 'Gunblade' once again.

This time, Costate's right hand pierced directly into the 'Gunblade's chest.

The hand blade that pierced the heart severed all life in the enemy.

"I... you..."

At this moment, with life already at its end, the 'Gunblade' wore a look of astonishment.

Earlier he had been confronting Ronald head-on, foreseeing a large-scale battle.

But who would have thought just a few minutes later.

Before Ronald even made a move, he was driven to a desperate situation by Costate's relentless assault, finally being pierced through the heart.

Death was imminent.

But unlike his companions,

Even possessing the canon of "Earth Sea Legend," he hadn't turned himself into a neither-dead-nor-alive specter like "True Name".

He instead turned his gaze towards Ronald, a pained expression revealing his final resolution:

"You deceiver of minds..."

"I will never allow a monster like you to run rampant in our world!"

Buzz——

In the next second, rampant magic fluctuations appeared on the 'Gunblade'.

Ronald was all too familiar with such fluctuations!

He intends to detonate the canon within himself!

"Costate, hurry and get away!"

Ronald loudly warned the maid, casting the [Archangel] spell without needing incantations to quickly pull Costate away from the enemy's front.

Meanwhile, the maid herself, aided by the [Transcendental Human Model], instantly grasped everything and began muttering a spell at an inhuman speed to alter her chances of escaping the impact.

Simultaneously, the voice bidding farewell to the world also echoed in the air:

"Don't think your evil plan can succeed!"

"Under the banner of Sulman, there are no cowards!"

Boom!

In the next moment, the sound of an explosion and the impact arrived simultaneously.

In the past, this was a method to enter the [Infinite Negative Domain], but now this entry method has been blocked, and the force unleashed during the destruction of the canon was entirely discharged over this sea area.

Violent magic fluctuations erupted sharply.

The collapse of [Lakmont's] historical loop had already seen three canons unleash their destructive forces, leaving the spatial structure of the entire sea area in chaos.

Now, with 'Gunblade' destroying three more, the superimposed effect caused the entire sky to undergo bizarre changes.

After the initial explosion impact, the harmful fluctuations quickly vanished, replaced by numerous curving blue stripes that instantly filled the entire space.

If people looked directly at these stripes with the naked eye, they would find a vast amount of incomprehensible human thoughts squeezing into their brains through these lines.

Massive meaningful information floods in, but the human mind remains unable to comprehend it.

Thus, the final result is everyone entering a state of semi-understanding, with no spare capacity even left for thinking.

"..."

Amid this sea area, perhaps only Ronald retained clarity.

This was because when he previously generated the force of magic through the value dimension to strengthen spells, he had vaguely experienced a similar sensation.

Therefore, as Ronald saw it.

Now, this phenomenon occurred because in an instant, there was a plethora of basic information present in the space, and even the 'digestion' speed of the world itself was insufficiently rapid, therefore passively displayed as 'runes' visible to the naked eye.

"..."

Soon, the maid held by Ronald also emerged from this state.

Then Costate looked towards Ronald, speaking with a remorseful tone:

"Sir, Costate has fought ineffectively, I beg for your punishment."

"..."

"No, you've done very well already."
