Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 799: Crisis


Humans are truly a species filled with endless possibilities.

A few weeks ago, on the train, their expression was filled with despair as they looked at themselves, asking, 'Does hope truly exist?'

In such a short time, they've transformed into a brilliant star.

Watching Sedir head toward the enemies.

Ronald felt profound emotions in his heart, even a certain sensation.

Perhaps because of Sedir's current state, she has been continuously favored by fate, encountering opportunities that ordinary people would never have.

"... ..."

Thinking this, Ronald glanced around.

He picked a high spot with a wide view, then watched from a distance towards the battlefield where Sedir and the Entrod agents were clashing.

The primary focus, naturally, was Sedir.

The leader of the resistance was quite conservative in her battle decisions, due to having only recently encountered Capitalism, she did not use the unmastered spells from Capitalism, but opted for the original works of the Great Wizard of the Academy Tower.

Ronald wasn't familiar with the ability Sedir was now using, but as her spells unfolded, some white spirits began to roam the woods, seizing the moments to launch attacks on the Entrod agents.

——The spirits belonged to spiritual bodies.

——The attacks naturally bore the attributes of spiritual attacks.

For the Entrod agents who were more adept at controlling physical bodies, these spells had an immediately noticeable impact, with the weakest among them only able to halt in place to defend himself.

"Brothers, it's a big fish!"

"This one possesses the original work, spread out to deal with her!"

The other agents paid no mind to the predicament of their companions, with the leader identifying Sedir's ability, they swiftly started arranging tactics.

"... ..."

"Wait, this one is Sedir!"

"The leader among the bandits!"

The agents quickly formed their array, becoming more excited upon confirming the identity of the person in front of them.

However, Sedir was much calmer.

She didn't just swiftly analyze the surrounding terrain and enemies, but also utilized the opportunity as the opponents formed their array to manipulate her spells, directly defeating two agents in the woods.

"Puppets of the warlords, such unchanged entities."

Bang bang bang——

At this moment, gunshots rang out.

Agents surrounding Sedir from suitable angles opened fire, dangerous bullets immediately aimed toward the young woman caught in the encirclement.

But Sedir's reaction was extremely timely.

Almost simultaneously with the enemy's shot, she dodged, utilizing the woodland flora to conceal herself.

Bang bang——

Another set of gunshots echoed.

The Entrod agents' encirclement was meticulous, Sedir's dodging area evaded the foes ahead but was completely exposed to the view from another side.

"Go, intercept them."

Sedir continued to prioritize evasion.

Yet while avoiding the gunfire, on her command, the spirits began concentrating their direction, gathering towards those closest to Sedir.

"... ..."

"She's about to break out of the encirclement..."

On the other side, Ronald, who was observing the battle, captured all the scenes of the fight.

Beneath the surface, there was more detail in Sedir's maneuvers. Even as she directed spirits to attack her enemies, several fixed spirits lurked around, fully monitoring the battlefield.

The reason Sedir could continuously avoid the gunshots from the Entrod agents wasn't due to her absurdly fast reactions, but by leveraging this surveillance to foresee the enemy's actions in advance.

Sedir's first original work.

It should provide a comprehensive ability centered on spirit manipulation, and capable of thoroughly monitoring the battlefield. With more extended usage experience, such encirclement could even be resolved instantly.

Ronald assessed Sedir's capability, while on the battlefield, the leader among the agents directly taunted:

"Look, an inexperienced holder of the original work!"

"Today, we've stumbled upon her."

Sedir was entirely unaffected by their verbal interference.

Just as this agent taunted, she was already controlling the spirits to resolve another one, tearing open a gap in the agents' encirclement.

To Sedir, enough time had already been bought for her companions to leave safely.

Now, it's just about escaping herself.

Thus.

Sedir fell into their trap.

In the instant she broke out of the encirclement, a binding array set surreptitiously on the ground suddenly appeared, confining her within a circular range.

——Capture the caster.

The Entrod agents were already adept at this scheme.

As soon as the leader realized Sedir's identity, he had prepared an appropriate plan mentally, then conveyed orders to his companions using coded gestures.

The spot in the encirclement seemingly easiest to break through.

Was actually a crucial position for ambush.

"... ..."

It was at this moment that an even more desperate situation emerged.

Just near Sedir's binding, a shadow ghostly emerged from the trees.

——Lareyer.

The leader of the Entrod agents had arrived at some point, lurking nearby, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment during the battle.

But seeing his subordinates successfully bind Sedir.

Lareyer decided to reveal himself proactively.

"Miss Sedir, this is our second meeting, right?"

Sedir returned a smile:

"You can change that to the third meeting once you're on the guillotine."

"Ah ah ah——"

With Sedir's words landing, the spirits surrounding her roared together.

Like banshees' screeching, the energy of the soul entity not only instantly destroyed the array binding her, but also posed a challenge for the agents.

The most severely affected among them even had blood oozing from their ears!

"Seeking death——"

Among all those present, only Lareyer remained unaffected.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, he kicked out ferociously, sending Sedir flying straight, crashing through several innocent trees all while putting an end to this soul-wailing spell.

Though that kick inflicted heavy injuries on Sedir.

But it also created an opportunity for her and Lareyer to distance themselves.

Boom——

At the place where Sedir landed, a chilling magic power erupted.

In the next moment, the already snow-dusted forest became further grayish-white, with life force severely diminished.

Sedir utilized a spell.

In this direction of the woods, she sculpted an area capable of weakening all life activities into a life-forbidden zone!

"Tsk..."

Seeing direct pursuit failing.

Lareyer naturally planned to bypass this region in his chase.

But at this moment, his steps suddenly halted.

Because on a nearby tree in this direction, he saw Ronald standing there, smiling while watching him.

"Ronald, are you planning to interfere as well!"

Ronald displayed an innocent look, even raising his hands in surrender:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just here to spectate. Did you see me make a move just now?"

"... ..."

"This level of caster, I can handle with ease."

Returning a remark to Ronald.

Lareyer's expression at this moment was dark.

But turning his head again, Sedir was nowhere in sight!

Given such an escape opportunity to a holder of the original work, Sedir naturally had already gone far away.

"Hmph——"

Although the chance of pursuit diminished.

Lareyer spoke no more words, merely let out a cold snort before proceeding with the unit in pursuit.
