Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 760: Deeper


Ronald's mood had plunged to its lowest.

However, at the same time, the man he was stepping on hadn't realized the issue and still earnestly replied,

"We have been trapped in Twin Streams City for centuries without a single fight occurring. With the intrinsic ferocity of those summoned creatures, they would attack us as soon as they existed."

"So it's certain, those things have definitely been cleared out."

"..."

Ronald was now reminding himself that he absolutely had to stay calm in handling the situation.

Even if he wanted to kill this guy, he had to uncover the other problems in the ruins first.

"Sigh—"

Ronald took a deep breath to compose himself.

After sorting through everything he had just learnt in his mind, he continued to ask,

"You mentioned earlier that contacting Ina was done by activating the bloodline memories inside her, right?"

The man immediately explained,

"Yes, this is also a kind of unique spell, we—"

Ronald directly cut off the man's explanation, uninterested in these guys' twisted abilities,

"Enough, I don't care about your research into spells."

"Since you've already generated this life-or-death conflict with the summoned creatures, how can you ensure that the activation of Ina's bloodline memories is oriented towards you, and not towards those summoned creatures?"

"..."

The man's reaction made Ronald's gaze grow even darker.

For when he asked this question, the man under his foot fell into a daze and contemplation, clearly having not considered this kind of issue before.

At this moment,

Ronald remembered the Nigar people's Royal Family that the other party had mentioned.

The subsequent events that occurred in Twin Streams City also began to take shape.

When the highest strata of the Nigar people realized the danger of this thing, and their inability to conquer it, the rulers at that time bravely decided to sacrifice themselves and completely seal this city and everything within here.

However, there were still a very few survivors in the city.

After these guys prolonged their lives using spells and summoned creatures, they naturally began to seek ways to escape from this place. The extremely low abilities inevitably resulted in problems in all aspects.

Bang—

Ronald ruthlessly stomped down.

Then he cast "Power of the Day" to burn the body of the man in front of him.

With the current situation leaving no room for hesitation, Ronald turned and walked straight out of the temple from the corridor, chanting a spell as he left,

"The greatest enhancement of productive power and the greater skill, aptitude, and judgment displayed in the application of labor, all seem to be the result of the division of labor..."

Boom boom boom—

First, with "The Invisible Hand," Ronald quickly destroyed the architectural structure, then he used the power of the "Archangel" to crush the temple once more, and finally, he threw out "Power of the Day" to start burning the ruins in front of him.

After confirming there were no survivors among the rubble,

Ronald then activated the Flying Spell, chasing directly into the deeper parts of the canyon.

"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"What was that sound?"

As Ronald completely destroyed the temple, it naturally created quite the commotion. Although the support team members had already covered a considerable distance, they were still immediately drawn to the noise.

Especially Megan and Ina.

Being inherently members of the mystical community, the Magic Power Ronald manifested while casting spells was truly terrifying.

In the team, Ceriel sensed the anomaly among his companions.

This explorer immediately asked:

"Did you all sense that again?"

"What happened now, was it caused by a spell?"

Megan replied with intricacy:

"The gentleman's power is really… beyond imagination."

Pondering for a suitable adjective, the middle-aged Caster glanced over at Costate in the group.

The maid seemed to have grown accustomed to such circumstances.

So even though everyone else in the group was discussing it, her demeanor remained completely unchanged.

How on earth were these two recruited?

Megan racked his brain but couldn't come up with an answer.

Finally, with a slight shake of his head, he looked forward again—at the end of this canyon.

After this stretch of the journey,

The support team finally arrived at the end of Twin Streams City.

At the end of the canyon, there was a dried-up water pond, and traces of a stream that once flowed in from above could still be seen. Due to changes in the terrain or other reasons, the water here had ceased to flow.

Only on the riverbed, where the stream used to fall like the waterfall they had encountered when entering the ruins, was a dark cave appearing on the mountainside.

This time, the expression on Celiel's face didn't look good either.

The explorer didn't find any marks left by Dawn and the others on the surrounding plants, and after closely inspecting the environment, he found something on the path leading to the cave.

Crouching down for a quick inspection, the result was clear:

"They are not in the right state to leave normal marks; they must be physically restrained."

Megan also realized that the situation was unusual:

"Then we better move fast."

Celiel's discovery, along with the noise from Ronald breaking the temple behind them, seemed to forebode ominous things from all directions.

Soon, the support team went into the cave in order.

Costate, being the most powerful fighter in the team, led with a torch, while Ina and Megan, who both had mysterious insights, covered the rear.

However, the depth of the cave was not exaggerated.

After turning a corner and advancing about a hundred meters, they quickly came before a grand hall hidden within the mountain.

Here, Dawn and his group appeared as well.

However, as members of the support team, the five of them were tied separately to stakes in the grand hall, surrounded by several creatures in completely different states.

There were humans, bears, and moose.

On closer inspection, one could see that the pupils of these creatures were all white!

"..."

"What are you doing!"

At that moment, seeing the scene before him, Megan couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he wasn't as powerful as Ronald or Costate, as a qualified Caster, he clearly saw what was happening across the way.

Surrounding the five tied-up Dawns, a moose was pressing its head against one of the bound person's mouth. Through this action, it seemed that some substance was being exchanged between their bodies, and the controlled person's body was twitching continuously.

"Quick, help!"

"They are giving something into Yeluzi's mouth!"

At that point, the tied-up Dawn noticed their fellow companion's arrival. Seeing Celiel and Costate in the team, he called out directly for help.

Whoosh—

A blur appeared before their eyes.

The moment Dawn called out for help,

Costate had already moved away from Celiel and the others and was now standing steadily in front of them.
