Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1253 - 1247: Turning Back

The defeated sea waves were not willing to give up.

Ronald had just flown a hundred meters out with Lulu when the water elements reorganized and once again surged with waves toward the two of them.

However, at this moment, an unavoidable obstacle stood in the way of the currents.

Ronald and Lulu had only just moved beyond the giants' detection range upon entering the water domain from the land, without actually getting far away.

So within this time of tugging with the waves.

They not only increased their altitude but also returned to the land where the giants resided.

At this moment, the clearly defined elements of the [Four Corners of Heaven] became the biggest obstacle for the water elements' pursuit.

Though they might be strong, their abilities are confined within the water domain.

Once the manipulated seawater enters the terrestrial world, it quickly diminishes under the world's rules until it vanishes.

...

Seeing everything happening behind them, Lulu sighed in relief, but she realized the giants were right beneath them the next moment, so she immediately reminded:

"Ronald, we need to increase our elevation, it's still not safe enough!"

"Those giants are simply too tall!"

However, Ronald did not agree with Lulu this time.

He shook his head and made a remarkably counterintuitive decision:

"No, Lulu, we need a different approach."

"From now on, keep silent, don't speak."

Whiz——

As Ronald finished speaking, their position started to plummet rapidly.

Though they were still flying away from the water domain.

But at this rate, they would inevitably crash into the giants' ongoing search on the ground!

Lulu couldn't comprehend Ronald's thinking.

Just as the mermaid was about to do something to correct their course.

The giant closest to the domain boundary noticed the change in seawater, and his deep, slow voice echoed:

"The seawater cannot invade the land—"

The turbulent water could not flood the land, but the waves themselves performed their intent through impact and rhythm against the mountains-turned giants.

"..."

"Intruders, soaring in the sky?"

Not long after, a realization came forth from the giant's mouth.

The earth elements didn't have strong invading tendencies, but the will to guard the [Four Corners of Heaven] would not waver.

Immediately, giants began communicating amongst themselves:

"Mountains, look upwards, the intruders are rulers of the heights…"

"Redirect your focus; begin searching in the sky…"

Though the giants responded slowly, their execution was meticulous, with no slack.

Amidst the giants' relay of messages.

The relentless magical surveillance on the ground finally dissipated, shifting upward to scatter the formidable magical power across the sky.

And all of this happened to coincide with Ronald, carrying Lulu, diving lower.

They plunged into the low altitude the giants had abandoned searching, and sound vanished among mountain concealments after a few shuffles.

"..."

"Ronald, your reaction speed is incredible!"

Escaping danger, Lulu's look at Ronald was filled with pure admiration, she even invited him with enthusiasm:

"With your personality and abilities, it's a shame not to become an adventurer!"

"How about it, want to form an expedition team with me, and let's go on adventures together?"

Ronald naturally declined:

"Nice proposal, but I have many things to accomplish in this world."

Although disappointed, Lulu accepted reality with ease, showing a relaxed demeanor:

"Alright, I figured you'd refuse."

"After all, folks with a personality like ours are rather rare."

"..."

Ronald flew low along with Lulu.

This time was much easier than when they arrived.

Since the water elements pinpointed the enemy's position, the giants barely put any search efforts towards the ground. Their entire attention was on the sky, attempting to catch the intruders.

In this environment, Ronald only occasionally needed to avoid the moving legs of the giants, with no further issues to watch out for.

As the sense of crisis diminished, with nothing else to do during the flight, Lulu finally returned to pondering other questions.

Thus, her gaze immediately fixed on Ronald.

In the state of [Divine Chariot] at present, Ronald possessed not only substantial magical powers but his appearance also underwent significant change.

The mermaid was quite curious about this:

"Ronald, how did you achieve this state, is it an influence of a spell? Or is this your true form, and your human form before was just a disguise?"

Ronald couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"What are you imagining? I'm purest human."

"This transformation entirely results from the effect of a spell."

Lulu smiled apologetically, then continued asking:

"You can't blame me; it's just that your current form resembles some angels from certain worlds. The misunderstanding merely stemmed from my actual encounters with them."

Hearing Lulu's explanation, it was Ronald's turn to be surprised:

"You've seen angels?"

"Angels are actually quite common." Lulu nodded affirmatively, "However, they are indeed just another species, unlike your… um, such a sacred form, which definitely isn't on the same level."

Ronald accepted this statement.

His current state is practically a replica of Michael the archangel from mythology, unquestionably differing from ordinary creatures.

Nevertheless, it was precisely due to Lulu's inquiry that Ronald began contemplating the performance of the spell.

Previously, when he used [Divine Chariot] to transform into an angelic form, there wasn't a distinct inclination. Hence, even in a special environment like [Four Corners of Heaven], it makes no sense to evoke unrelated archangels.

The sole explanation.

Perhaps it was because he mastered all the spells from "Divine Comedy - Paradise", achieving the highest accomplishments in mysterious concepts, thereby showcasing the supreme form of Michael among angels.

With this idea guiding deduction, Ronald's curiosity arose.

[Divine Chariot] experienced such change, could there possibly be unique transformations in other spells as well?

Ronald was eager.

The revelation brought by [Divine Chariot]'s transformation was too stunning, and naturally, he wanted to immediately experiment with other spells.

Unfortunately, they were surrounded by giants made from mountains at the moment.

If Ronald dared to test other spells with unclear effects right here, discovery by the giants currently searching for intruders would, almost certainly, be the inevitable outcome.

To satisfy his curiosity…

It seems he must wait until they depart from this earth element realm before conducting such tests.
