Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1147 - 1141: Bloody Battle at the Dock
A silver flash, the blade moved forward.
Patricia's assault clearly exceeded Moyeta's expectations.
However, he was an experienced cultist magician, responsible for managing Anluo Island which served as an external port, extremely important for the entire nation.
A cultist magician so highly regarded.
How could he possibly be an enemy easily defeated?
Thus, almost in the instant when Patricia swung her sword to face Moyeta.
The cultist magician gracefully and swiftly pulled his subordinate beside him, then astonishingly lifted him with great strength right in front of him, flinging him towards the charging Patricia.
Clang—!!
The cold sword light flickered and vanished in the night.
The cultist magician tossed in front of Patricia was unavoidably sliced into pieces by the sharp sword edge. Especially under Nicholas's unique technique, after the body split open, it even displayed distinctly angular cut lines.
"Miss Patricia, be careful!"
The cultist magician flung towards them was undoubtedly dead.
Yet, in the next second, the investigator behind Patricia shouted anxiously:
"That guy is a top-wanted criminal—Moyeta, his spells excel at controlling and affecting human bodies!"
"!"
Almost the moment the investigator voiced the warning, Patricia's eyes tightened while holding her sword with one hand.
Her companion's words were indeed accurate.
Because right in front of Patricia, the distinct angular corpse fragments were undergoing rapid abnormal changes.
Merely by grabbing his subordinate and swiftly throwing him at Patricia, Moyeta had already employed advanced techniques to transform his subordinate's body.
At this moment.
The corpse fragments yet to land were rapidly changing in color and shape, green swellings proliferating on the body as if possessing life.
In just a blink of an eye.
A nauseating mass, simultaneously emitting a severe stench, erupted in green bloody mist at the dock.
Boom—!
Explosion and magic fluctuations quickly spread.
The dock, initially adorned with corpses and night color making it somewhat desolate, was instantly engulfed by the green bloody mist.
Meanwhile, farther away on the dark street, Gwendolin whispered:
"Ronald, these investigators are quite capable, aren't they?"
Ronald responded without turning his head in an expected tone:
"Of course! These are [Grid] official personnel. If their strength was genuinely weak, this vast nation couldn't claim to be the world's number one."
In the distant port, the ongoing scenes unfolded just like Ronald and Gwendolin's conversation.
After Moyeta created the inky green evil mist environment using his subordinate's body, the [Grid] casters at the dock did not retreat.
On the contrary.
Without even needing Patricia to take the lead. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The investigators, who had long been on guard, activated their spells at the moment the corpse exploded.
A flash of spell brilliance.
Beside these few [Grid] casters, subtle air currents stirred the air, forming a not-so-hard but perfectly repelling the influence of the green mist gas armor.
Apart from slightly shifting positions to counteract the blast impact.
None of the five suffered even the slightest damage from Moyeta's spell.
"..."
"You people are beyond saving for doing such things with a subordinate's body…"
At this time, Patricia once again raised her longsword at the forefront, carving a silver arc across her chest.
Her gaze towards Moyeta was colder than before.
Facing such a situation, the cultist magician responded confidently, almost with righteous indignation:
"If you hadn't invaded, how could I have treated him like that?"
"Nicholas, you [Grid] bunch always act so domineering. Instead of questioning me, you should reflect on yourselves!"
As he finished speaking, Moyeta stirred up magical fluctuations similar to before.
Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the explosion.
Moyeta not only increased the distance between himself and Patricia but also activated the spell prepared for the upcoming battle.
Spell activated.
Green mist started subtly gathering around Moyeta.
A seasoned cultist magician knows—abilities unable to affect the enemy hold no value.
Since investigators could resist mist erosion, it was better to change tactics promptly.
So he manipulated the green mist transformed from his subordinate's body, eventually forming a rather fluffy, foam-like humanoid monster in front of him.
"Go! Eliminate them for me!"
Moyeta commanded.
The green foam monster rushed towards Patricia.
Seeing this, the swordswoman naturally stood her ground fearlessly.
The sword blade swung through the air, and the precise slash certainly reduced the green flesh to waste.
Solving the monster blocking the way at lightning speed, Patricia needed to press on.
As a Nicholas, her strategy was simple—close in on the enemy and defeat them in close combat!
But after merely two steps, she heard a strange sound behind her.
She saw the green foam pieces on the ground she had just sliced beginning to self-assemble, soon returning to their original form!
Evidently.
Unless completely annihilated, it's difficult to kill it purely through physical means!
Swish——
Almost the next second, a white light encased the green humanoid, binding its movements.
"Miss Patricia, just advance!"
"Leave this guy to me!"
Her investigator companion behind her naturally did not remain idle, stepping up at this moment to help delay the green monster's actions.
Patricia never abandoned trust in her companions.
Thus, without looking back, she charged towards Moyeta with her sword in hand.
...
Watching this scene from afar on the street, Gwendolin cheerfully asked Ronald:
"Hey, Ronald, who do you think will win?"
"..."
Ronald didn't respond immediately, instead focusing his gaze on the warring sides.
After all, Moyeta was an original holder.
Under Ronald's keen observation, he noticed Moyeta had already pulled out his original text.
——The true fight was just beginning.
Thus, Ronald said with absolute certainty:
"Patricia."
"In this battle, unquestionably, Patricia will win!"
