Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 488 - 485: The Red Robe in the Mountain

Utilizing the power of the "Current Cycle," outside Ronald’s urban night sky.

Since he had successfully taken down the previous battle, the trial of "Saturn Sky" had naturally been completed. Ronald took out mass-produced rings from the inner pocket of his clothes and put them on his fingers, wherein the magic power of the "Seraphim" immediately took residence.

A new spell — the effects of "God’s Chariot."

These emerged in Ronald’s mind.

To be precise, Ronald had two spells he used for actions before, "Icarus’s Wings" from the "Daedalus’ Book" and the "Current Cycle" from the "Astronomy Master."

And in this instant.

The spells used for convenient action in the "Divine Comedy" were finally obtained by him.

After activating the spell of the "Seraphim," two pairs of wings bearing the holy might of angels emerged behind the caster, endowing the caster with both immense physical combat strength and nimble flying abilities.

For Ronald, this spell underwent even further transformation.

Because he had obtained the final level of enhancement, "Seraph," ahead of time, when Ronald used the "Seraphim" spell, three pairs of wings would appear behind him, and the power afforded by the spell would increase even further.

"..."

Inside, Ronald quite fancied experiencing the effects of this spell right away.

But looking back at the casters following him, he dismissed the impatient urge.

In the pitch-dark cloak of night.

A team of more than ten people followed behind him.

Some, like Ronald using the "Current Cycle," took flight by body alone, while others invoked wings through spells, but all of them possessed exceptional flying abilities.

Especially a very young girl who looked incredibly young; her flying spell was quite distinctive.

Merely holding an umbrella in her hand.

She was able to rush through the skies at a speed that defied aerodynamics, not falling behind any of the surrounding casters at all.

And perceiving the magic fluctuations on these people for a brief moment, Ronald understood that most of them were high-ranking casters. To say that annihilating the "Nine Commandments’" stronghold hidden in the distant suburbs was certainly no trouble at all.

He felt fairly settled in his heart.

Ronald’s gaze once again turned toward the front.

With the combined assistance of the "Star Chart" and "Fury," the location of Demon Lama was being marked very clearly. Plus, as they moved forward, the other party showed no tendency or action to shift positions.

Tonight’s second pursuit seemed to promise a very gratifying outcome.

————

At the same time, inside a hill in the remote suburbs of Springs.

Within a space carved out by a spell.

A man in a Red Robe sat in front of the altar, gazing at Demon Lama, who lay in the midst of the altar with his body nearly forty percent destroyed.

"So, under the premise of using your ability to steal power, Barbara still ended up thoroughly dead after the battle, and you desperately managed to bring this original text back."

Struggling to maintain breathing, Lama’s miserable face revealed a smile:

"Not just the stolen ability."

"I derived over a dozen different futures within a quarter of an hour, yet in all outcomes, Barbara was slain by that monster during the battle. In some situations, I could escape successfully, and in others, we were both utterly killed by him. I went through considerable calculation to come up with the choice that could carry the original text and escape."

"..."

The Red Robe caster fell silent.

As the summoner of Demon Lama, he was quite certain that the demon in front of him had not deceived him. "Ronald Adler," listed by the meeting as a dangerous creature, would likely have to have his risk level increased even more in the future.

Barbara and Demon Lama’s duo...

Within the organization of "Nine Commandments," there were indeed those who could defeat them; after all, some original texts inherently possessed strong restraining powers and also did not lack bizarre and unorthodox spells.

But to say that it was an overwhelming pressure of this magnitude, that was an entirely different matter.

Thinking of this, the Red Robe man pulled out paper from a desk next to him.

As he rapidly wrote a research report, he also began to feed magic power into the altar in front of him:

"I’ve been informed about today’s events."

"First, I’ll heal your wounds, we can discuss the rest after reporting the situation outside to headquarters."

The demon in the altar nodded:

"Of course, I have no objections."

"However, per the contract between us, I must remind you. The ’original’ that Ronald Adler possesses is definitely much more than the two volumes, and he has also deciphered the ’celestial’ original. If you wish to continue your plans in Springs, you must not overlook this fellow’s existence."

"Do not, because you wish to climb dangerous peaks, only see mountains as high as Dantrian, sometimes there are hidden threats lying at your feet by the roadside."

"..."

"Alright, get some rest."

The man in the Red Robe didn’t directly respond to Rame.

After silently allowing the demon in the altar to continue resting for a few seconds, he turned around and began writing his report.

The operation disrupted by Ronald tonight was actually a very important part of the Nine Commandments Conclave’s operation, with Barbara as the highest-ranking leader present on-site.

Now that the operation had failed and the leader was dead on the spot.

Once this news reaches the higher-ups...

At the very least, his own days would not be easy for the time he had left before the day the plan was to commence.

He carefully recorded the message passed back by Rame, then opened the communication artifact, stuffed the pages inside and channeled his Magic Power to activate the artifact.

Once he felt the message had been sent.

He then turned, took out a box that could block detection, and sealed Wealth of Nations within it. After completing this series of tasks, the man in the Red Robe turned to look at the demon on the altar and couldn’t help but sigh:

"Ah..."

"In the end, it’s all about time..."

Boom!

Suddenly, the chair underneath the Red-Robed man shook violently, and dust fell from the earth above his head.

Quickly stabilizing himself amidst the dust and dirt, he instinctively looked down at his feet.

— Earthquake?

— The detection spell had no warning.

— An enemy attack?

— The sentries outside had no reaction.

Having just faced the failure of his mission, the Red-Robed man was now completely on edge.

He instantly activated his Magic Power, waking the demon that slept in the altar.

"Rame, at any cost, find out what’s happening!"

"Tell me what will happen next?"

"..."

The awoken demon had an eerie look, but it still complied with the contract and activated its abilities. However, as soon as Rame foresaw the events to come, it did not hesitate to sever the summoning and disappeared in front of the man in the Red Robe instantaneously.

"Good luck, survive..."

The Red-Robed man stood still in a daze.

He tried to summon Rame again, immediately activating his Spell.

"Roar—"

A flash of Firelight burst forth.

However, what appeared in this mountainous space was only a very powerful demon, yet far from an upper-level demon comparable to Rame.

A powerful demon that had made a contract with the Red-Robed man.

At this moment, it refused to respond to his summons.
