Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 824: Fruits of Victory


The four human Casters dragged into the chasm by Ronald were very fortunate.

Even though a fierce battle raged above, with corpses strewn everywhere.

But these four, being underground at the edge of the battlefield, were completely unharmed.

The reason—was the fungal organisms entwined around their bodies.

Although these summoned creatures had kidnapped them here and took control over them, their identities as human Casters who could open the summoning gate still received the utmost attention.

Therefore, the fungi covering them were instructed to protect the four human Casters, ensuring absolutely nothing happened to them.

So even though Ronald was a bit rough just now, under the 'enemy' protection of these things on their bodies,

these four guys remained as quiet as sleeping children.

"..."

"You guys seem pretty comfortable, huh…"

Looking at the four guys he had retrieved from underground, then looking back at Audrey, who was still recovering her strength and looking slightly pale.

Ronald gave a wry smile, unable to help but sigh a little.

But having ensured the safety of the four Casters, Ronald did not immediately wake them up.

After all…

Before that, Ronald intended to interrogate the summoned creature for information.

As the leader of the summoned creatures in the entire underground base of the ice field.

Among the summoned creatures encountered on this arctic trip, this was undoubtedly the most valuable one.

Thinking this, Ronald leaped onto the wall and yanked down the summoning creature leader, whose size had returned to normal.

He did not intend to hide anything from Audrey.

Instead, he dragged the summoning creature's body as one would drag a broom, directly to the Inspector nun beside him.

"Audrey, you probably have some questions for this guy too, right?"

While greeting the nun, Ronald continuously pulled out a truth serum Magic Potion from his pocket.

The elite summoned creatures encountered before could resist the control of spells by falling unconscious, so for this leader, Ronald knew he would definitely need to use it.

But looking at the liquid in the bottle in front of him…

After today, there might only be three or four uses left of this handy Magic Potion.

"Gulp—"

The next second.

Ronald deftly poured the truth serum into the mouth of the summoning creature leader.

At this moment, Audrey, who saw this scene, had her eyes light up slightly:

"Ronald, is this Entrod's Magic Potion?"

"That's right, it was gifted to me by my beloved." Ronald nodded without hesitation, "It makes people speak honestly, extremely useful."

"Your partner is quite something…"

Hearing Ronald admit it so candidly, Audrey slightly smiled and then continued, "This kind of Magic Potion is only eligible to be used by those in high positions among Entrod's operatives. Even the church, having a good relationship with them here, only knows of its existence."

Heloise's status among Entrod's operatives…

It should be said, it's as expected!

Ronald recalled the little moments with Heloise, accepting Audrey's sentiments calmly.

Then he continued without a pause.

The Power of Domination from the Pride Original Sin immediately descended upon the head of the summoned creature.

"Haooo!"

The immense Magic Power poured into its body, combined with the mind-controlling power of the Magic Potion.

This creature, covered in diamond-shaped crystals, first shuddered violently, then straightened its body like a zombie emerging from a coffin, emitting some incomprehensible, strange sounds from its mouth.

As a Caster, Ronald was well aware.

The summoning creature's body instinct was resisting the controlling power.

"Truly resilient…"

Seeing the summoned creature leader's reaction, Ronald adopted the most aggressive strategy.

He utilized his special casting ability to forcefully extract Magic Power from the grimoire itself, drastically enhancing the effect of this Power of Domination.

"Roar—"

"..."

The unprecedented powerful force quickly took effect.

After only two or three seconds, the summoning creature leader's body stopped struggling, its gaze becoming as dull as those of other creatures controlled by the Magic Potion, devoid of the color of Wisdom.

Success—

Seeing its expression, Ronald nodded in satisfaction and courteously invited the nun beside him:

"Audrey, would you like to ask first or should I?"

Of course, Audrey didn't actually agree, just kept her expression as she lightly shook her head:

"I'll continue to recover my strength."

"Ronald, you go ahead and ask."

After exchanging pleasantries with an old friend not seen in a long while, Ronald turned to the controlled summoned creature immediately.

"Tell me then, information about that great entity."

"What is its specific definition?"

The completely controlled summoning creature leader began answering right away:

"Mortal creatures break free from the blood of the mundane, with great power and physical lineage fused together, they then ascend to a higher specification of a great life form."

"At that time, past rules can no longer bind it, and enormous power can dominantly control everything at will."

"That is the meaning of a great entity."

"..."

Such an answer seems rather insignificant.

In essence, it's just like those fantasy tales or epic myths where mortals gain immense power, then break free from human limitations, thereby becoming beings of higher levels?

With a slight nod, Ronald continued his inquiry:

"Do you know what the evil cult Magicians, a form of Caster in our world, actually worship?"

"I don't know." The summoning creature leader answered immediately, "How many great entities exist in the infinite worlds is beyond my knowledge."

"..."

Hearing this answer, Ronald glanced slightly at Audrey beside him.

As a nun of this world's church organization, Audrey should have some understanding of the evil cult Magicians.

But even now, hearing Ronald's conversation with the summoning creature, Audrey's expression barely shifted.

With that, this issue ends here…

Seeing no way to continue probing for information about the evil cult Magicians,

Ronald's next question naturally returned to the facts they were facing now—the invasion of the summoned creatures into the world.

Moreover, this question aimed directly at the source.

"What is the true cause of your invasion of the human world? Is it really because of the conflict in Twin Rivers City?"

Ronald asked with utmost seriousness.

"That is not the case." The summoning creature shook its head in denial.

As a leader capable of spearheading regional forces, it knew far more clearly than ordinary summoned creatures:

"The reason for invading here."

"Is due to the extreme scarcity of resources in the original world…"
