Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 889: After the Commission


"Mr. Kangdingrant."

"If you can't bring yourself to move against the body of a former friend, I can take care of it."

The atmosphere at the doorway was already tense to the extreme.

But Ronald didn't care about such things at all.

Amidst this intensely charged atmosphere, he added a question, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire:

"I am not particularly concerned with Entrode's leader, but if things are not resolved quickly, it may endanger the innocent people living on this land."

"This is something no one wants to see."

"..."

After all, Kangdingrant was still a ruling member of Entrode.

Although Ronald's words might have aggravated the situation, he was well aware that what the other party said was true.

If this matter is not dealt with promptly and swiftly...

Hesitation will only lead to more chaos!

The final outcome of delaying will only push the already fragile Entrode faster into a more difficult situation.

"Mr. Ronald, I'll take care of Batty myself."

"But if I unfortunately fall in the ensuing battle, I ask you to lend a hand."

Kangdingrant's words covered almost every angle.

First considering Buddy's identity— for Kangdingrant, the best choice was naturally to handle this within Entrode, rather than relying on an outsider like Ronald to help them.

Then, if Kangdingrant really fell in the battle.

For the sake of protecting the elites here in the administrative hall and the interests of the entire Entrode, at that time, asking Ronald to step in would not be an unacceptable choice.

"..."

Ronald quietly watched Kangdingrant. To Ronald, these were rather cunning words.

But he did not dislike Kangdingrant's choice.

Because these two sentences, the former showed the other party's determination to shoulder his own responsibilities, while the latter indicated a commitment to protect his subordinates and country.

Under Kangdingrant's request, Ronald stepped back.

At the same time, the other Entrode agents behind him also made a large amount of space. As the battle was about to begin, Ronald looked seriously at Kangdingrant and promised solemnly:

"In that case, I respect your will."

"And you may rest easy in your actions, for the moment this battle endangers any innocent lives around— I will surely step in to restore order."

"..."

Upon hearing this response, Kangdingrant gave a slight nod to Ronald.

No excessive words of gratitude were needed, for this gesture conveyed everything.

Then, Kangdingrant turned around again.

Simultaneously, Batty had already retreated his body into the shadows within the room, sensing an impending battle, and began to emit strong magic fluctuations from all around him.

"..."

"Indeed, he has been corrupted."

Kangdingrant watched his friend's actions— Batty was evidently under the control of the True Core Creature and was preparing to make a move against him!

"I see the boundless of anatomy..."

So, Kangdingrant began to speak lightly.

And as he spoke, he also uttered an incantation filled with strong magic power.

The magic fluctuation of an original-level spell unfolded instantly.

Standing behind this powerful caster, Ronald was somewhat surprised at the scene before him.

He could not be more familiar with this incantation!

Wasn't it the spell that Heloise used to enhance physical constitution back then?

However, due to previous experiences, Ronald always believed that the original of "Human Body Construction" should have been with R'lyeh.

But now it became clear, its true owner was Kangdingrant before him.

This also explained why, after Ronald and Tolares left the Dream Mirror, R'lyeh immediately wanted to take Tolares to Kangdingrant.

Spells possess complete structural capability for the human body.

As the holder of such an original, he would theoretically be the finest doctor for humans.

Yet while the older issues were clarified, new doubts emerged in Ronald's mind.

—What exactly is R'lyeh's original?

Based on what he had seen and heard, this King of Agents from Entrode was supposed to have two originals in his possession. But at this moment, "Human Body Construction" was not his, making information on R'lyeh ambiguous once more.

A Lovecraftian myth original.

What else was that guy hiding?

"This is buried really deep..."

Thinking of this, Ronald couldn't help but shake his head.

Meanwhile, not far ahead of him, Kangdingrant engaged in a frontal confrontation with Batty in the room.

From Ronald's viewpoint.

The clearest he could see was Kangdingrant's back.

Even though he used the same series of spells as Heloise, in the hands of this original holder, "Human Body Construction" exhibited effects completely different from Heloise's.

While greatly enhancing basic qualities like limb strength and reaction speed.

Kangdingrant tangled with Batty in the room, constantly displaying exaggerated bodily control that no human could possibly achieve through his swift movements.

Reacting in time and evading attacks were not a problem.

This original holder could even leverage off just one pinky finger, causing his entire body to spin violently over three hundred and sixty degrees, while still managing to respond accordingly to the combat scenes.

These movements were not driven purely by brute force.

But were actions of fluid beauty executed without damaging the aesthetic of the human body.

In contrast to himself—

Ronald was sure that his own physique could achieve such effects.

But to reach Kangdingrant's unbelievable level of control was something he just could not accomplish.

And on the other side of the engagement.

Batty also displayed his formidable skills in close combat.

Even though he was completely corrupted by the True Core Creature at this time, it didn't affect his control and use of his original. Ronald could see metallic flashes emanating frequently from the skin of the man, and on closer inspection, he could discern transformations in his bodily structure.

What Batty's original was still could not be confirmed.

But Ronald was very certain— this guy's spell could convert his body organs into mechanical structures, replacing the frailty of flesh with a body of steel.

Another formidable character indeed!

"Kangdingrant, why have you betrayed Entrode!"

In the midst of this intense battle, Batty still found time to angrily accuse Kangdingrant before him.

Such a move thoroughly enraged Kangdingrant.

"Damn monster!"

"Not only do you corrupt my friend's body, but you also utter such shameless words?"

As the words fell.

A surge of magic far surpassing before erupted from Kangdingrant.

With much experience, Ronald was extremely certain.

Kangdingrant had just activated his Complete Technique!
