Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1236 - 1230: Entering Again

"Lulu, wait..."

Of course, Ronald instinctively wanted to stop her.

But as soon as the words were out, he gave up on his own.

With the previous conversation, Ronald didn't dare claim to fully understand the mermaid species, but he did realize they valued 'adventure' as an unchanging core element.

And Lulu, as a mermaid traveling alone across the world.

This personality trait was particularly evident in her; wishing to stop her with words was undoubtedly a naive thought.

"..."

"Heloise, Patricia, let's catch up to her."

Even though they had just met for less than a day, Ronald wasn't about to give up on Lulu, this new companion.

So he called to the two beside him and directly chased after Lulu.

The mermaid's physical strength was far from as exaggerated as Ronald's.

So before she successfully reached the top, Ronald and his companions caught up with her.

Seeing Ronald with a somewhat helpless expression, Lulu laughed:

"I knew you would catch up."

Ronald rolled his eyes at her:

"I say, can't you wait for a bit?"

"It's not like we're not going in, why rush?"

Lulu completely ignored Ronald's attitude, even showing an amused expression:

"I really can't help it."

"As you humans say, it's like someone you like is in front waiting for you, how could you resist!"

"..."

After a few teasing exchanges, the last stretch was quickly covered in their pursuit.

From where they were upwards, the passage was completely blocked by fallen debris, with a cloud floating in the air on the other side.

So, the question arose—how were they going to jump over?

With Ronald's non-human level physique, jumping over was naturally no problem, but the other three didn't have that ability.

"..."

"In this situation, I can't just throw you one by one, right?"

Ronald joked with a smile.

The result...

"Throw us over? That works too, try holding my hand to test my weight."

Mermaid Lulu agreed to the joke without hesitation, even leaning her head towards Ronald with a 'hurry up and try' look.

This girl...how anxious is she?

Ronald didn't even know how to retort.

So he gently pushed Lulu aside, then spoke again:

"Alright, we don't need such a thrilling method."

"As a caster, there's more than one way to get across."

As he spoke, Ronald waved his hand around, and the debris in the volcanic pipe instantly cracked under the power of the [Angel Overseer].

Before the debris fell, Ronald chanted a spell again:

"From the perspective of the relationship between the entire earth and sky, our understanding will begin to take shape."

Clatter—

The [Equilizer] from Astronomy Master was cast by Ronald at this point.

And then the freshly fallen debris was immediately seized by the spell's power, beginning to rotate in the air, forming a revolving ring in the plane.

One end of this ring was right in front of Ronald and his companions.

The other end just aligned above the gray cloud.

Ignoring the spell factors, the ring created by Ronald's spell was like a conveyor belt on an assembly line.

Heloise was the first to realize upon seeing this:

"Flight is forbidden here for humans, but it doesn't affect other spells!"

Ronald nodded with a smile:

"That's right, so all we have to do now is walk up."

As he finished speaking, Ronald led the way onto the spell-created ring; he didn't even need to move, as the ring kept revolving under the spell, directly bringing Ronald above the gray cloud.

Enjoying the convenience of the spell, Patricia commented:

"Ronald, this method is indeed effective."

"But if you encounter similar situations in the future, try to be cautious. In places where spells are maintained, such a trick can quickly be corrected once discovered."

Patricia's personality was as meticulous as ever, and her reminder was for his own good. Ronald understood this clearly and naturally thanked the swordswoman:

"Thank you, Patricia, I'll be careful in the future."

"..."

The ring steadily revolved in the air.

With the help of the ring, Ronald and the others quickly stood above the cloud.

Then, led by an utterly impatient Lulu, the four of them kept a certain distance and leapt onto the cloud.

Puff—

The sensation was a bit strange.

As someone who had entered the cloud before, Ronald was the first to notice the difference.

This thing's cross-world transport function was still effective.

But compared to when he was sent away from the [Infinite Negative Realm] initially, this time there was a raw drag to the sensation, as if the whole process was rather laborious.

Drawing from his accumulated knowledge of the mystical side, Ronald quickly made a judgment—

This spell likely wouldn't last long.

Based on the cloud's scale he observed before entering and the current sensation, he deduced the further conclusion.

At most three days would be its limit.

After that, while the spell might still run, it would no longer guarantee safe transit from the original world.

At that time, any issues encountered during cross-world travel...

All dangers and troubles would fall on the users to bear.

"..."

"That tearing force...hardly anyone could withstand it, right?"

Ronald made his final judgment in mind, and the scenery before him simultaneously grew clearer.

At that moment, he was falling from the sky.

Looking up, the starry sky unique to the [Infinite Negative Realm] was overhead, unmistakable to Ronald.

Catherine's 'invitation' this time.

Indeed brought him back to this significant and unique place again!

Whoosh, whoosh—

Meanwhile, several figures appeared above Ronald.

Mermaid Lulu and Ronald's two companions also followed him into the sky.

But perhaps because it wasn't Ronald's first crossing.

The more adaptable him appeared slightly earlier than the other three.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

"This place is way too high off the ground; if we fall, we'll surely die!"

Mermaid Lulu reacted the most strongly.

She shouted about their current situation while struggling to control her movements in the air, pulling her backpack forward.

Lulu clearly intended to find something to assist them.

"..."

"Lulu, don't panic."

So, Ronald took the initiative to stand out.

He loudly comforted her, then quickly chanted a familiar spell:

"From the perspective of the relationship between the entire earth and sky, our understanding will begin to take shape!"
