Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 484 - 481: Complete Technique

From the moment the battle began, Barbara had been preparing a spell, and now it was finally unleashed.

The most immediate effect it bestowed upon him...

was an unprecedented surge of confidence. Barbara’s originally guarded eyes instantly steadied, and his lips curled into a victorious smile that only appeared when he saw victory within reach.

"Last words?"

"Mr. Ronald, your understanding of mystical combat is still immature. Allowing a bearer of the original texts to successfully cast their spell is a very bad and serious matter."

As his words fell, Barbara stood there brazenly, without even the intention to move, simply waving his right hand.

"Ugh—"

In an instant, Ronald staggered backward two steps.

The moment Barbara waved his hand, the magic power inside Ronald that was used to enhance his body became chaotic for a moment. Although it wasn’t a fatal injury, it still caused some damage.

What spell was the enemy using this time?

It could actually forcibly interfere with the magic power within Ronald that belonged to him!

"It must feel awful, doesn’t it?"

As if in tune with Ronald’s current mood, Barbara spoke:

"How does it feel to have your own magic power become so unstable? Are you puzzled about the capabilities of my spell, wondering if it is indeed one that interferes with another’s magic power?"

Swoosh—

Suddenly, the black mist scattered by the stone spheres in the castle’s great hall violently converged and pounced directly at Ronald’s face. An attack launched from almost point-blank range left no room to dodge; Ronald couldn’t make any move in time, and the force of Hell slapped across his face.

Even the black mist, made up of the power of Hell, fell into disarray at this moment, attacking Ronald, the caster himself!

At that time, the "Guardian Angel" spell, loyal to its purpose, unfolded, and a faint white light naturally blocked the dangerous hellish black mist from outside.

However, Ronald quickly realized something.

The "Guardian Angel" spell pattern, which had just been reset, was fading at an abnormal rate, becoming precarious in the blink of an eye.

The light buried in the mist’s darkness dwindled to a barely perceptible level.

Realizing the crisis, Ronald leapt in an instant, his body rapidly darted out, breaking through the black mist’s resistance to the other side of the castle.

Amidst his hesitation, Ronald still snapped his fingers lightly to reset the "Guardian Angel" spell pattern. Though the rate of decay was unbelievably fast, this simple, single-function defense spell was still usable.

Soon, Ronald sensed the presence of the power of Hell once again.

This loss of control wasn’t going to last forever.

After two or three seconds, Ronald regained control over the black mist and also stopped its attack against him.

"Tsk—"

Faced with this situation, Ronald waved his hand to disperse the black mist in the castle’s great hall.

He didn’t want his own spells obstructing the battle at every turn and even sabotaging him with a stealth attack, leading to direct defeat.

At this moment, the situation Ronald was facing became very simple and clear.

Barbara’s spell could not only disrupt his own magic power but also directly affect the spells already in play. Although the interference seemed brief, it was, without doubt, a very thorny issue.

The enemy’s magic power and physical strength were both stronger than his.

Now they could even vaguely wrest control of his spells.

Such an enemy had become troublesome to the point of being difficult to deal with any strategy!

And watching Ronald, who had jumped to the edge of the castle, Barbara’s smile had already vanished. The "Nine Commandments" caster’s eyes now held undisguised fury at Ronald:

"What’s the matter, weren’t you just about to ask for my regrets?"

"Now consider your own, I can afford to generously give you time to think it over!"

The words had hardly left his mouth when the castle floor began to emit a grating, piercing noise.

——The enormous stone sphere that had been motionless on the ground suddenly started rolling!

And this time, its target, naturally, was Ronald, who stood at the edge of the hall.

Facing this kind of attack, Ronald’s response was anything but panic.

With his physical condition, it would not be too difficult to dodge the pursuing stone sphere in the short term...

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, the pristine wings behind Ronald flapped violently.

The Wings of Icarus had slipped from Ronald’s control, lifting him straight into the air, and he unexpectedly hurtled towards the direction of the stone sphere!

The scenario of Lama’s death was still fresh in his memory.

If he were to be crushed by the stone sphere summoned from Hell, Ronald had no assurance that he could escape safely.

He quickly withdrew the Sun’s Might from Saint Catherine’s sword.

With a flick of his wrist, he decisively and neatly slashed at his own back.

Whoosh——

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through wings immediately filled the air.

In that moment, the Saint’s legacy proved to be the most reliable thing. As Ronald was dragged towards the stone sphere, it managed to sever the Wings of Icarus, allowing him to fall to the ground before crashing into the sphere.

He hurriedly performed an ungainly roll on the spot, and just as the intersection of the stone sphere and the ground became visible, Ronald changed direction and tumbled out of the way, successfully avoiding the sphere’s assault.

Boom——

The next second, the uncontrollable stone sphere once again smashed through the walls of the castle hall.

After creating a chaos of noises, accompanied by the sound of a heavy object hitting water, the object finally quieted down.

"What happened, where did that carefree expression from earlier go?"

"Now, try getting it out for me to see!"

Shards and dust whirled around the hall, and as Barbara kept advancing towards Ronald amid such a setting, he continuously vented the malice in his heart. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

And facing such an enemy, facing a situation where a slight misstep could mean death,

Ronald still managed to keep his composure and coldly strategisted a way out in his mind.

Soon, a risky but very important probing plan emerged in his thoughts.

After briefly canceling all spells around him, Ronald slowly rose from the ground, pointing the tip of Saint Catherine’s sword directly at Barbara.

In his eyes now, there was only the unwavering resolve to defeat his opponent!

"..."

"Heh heh——"

"Without fully grasping the original text, how could you possibly defy me?"

Watching Ronald’s series of movements and posture, Barbara’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. In past battles, the reactions he had seen from his enemies when confronted with the power of the "Complete Technique" were mostly those of despair or fleeing.

As for someone like Ronald, who still stubbornly continued to resist,

They were an absolute minority.

If that was the case... then using the opponent’s power to crush him would do.

Feeling the unprecedented formidable power within him, Barbara bent his knees and then burst forth.

His entire being shot forward like a cannonball,

Diving towards Ronald from afar!
