Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 932: False Strength (Part 2)


The two individuals, both nearing their limits, failed to overcome each other in this clash; instead, both were injured, forcing them to retreat and widen the distance between them by over ten meters.

Without any Magic Potion, Sedir was in a more precarious state, so weak that she almost fell.

Seeing Sedir's vulnerability, Ralayer ignored his own condition, seized the opportunity, and with a powerful leap, he soared up, his entire body descending like a meteor towards Sedir!

"Our strength comes from the original canon!"

"Look at those who are powerless to dictate their fate in battle. Denying this strength, you will only be defeated by me like them!"

"I will not allow you to shame their efforts!"

At this moment, Sedir was already at her weakest, yet the threat from the incoming Ralayer did not diminish.

But even so, this young girl had no intention of retreating.

Sedir seized the final moment under her opponent's attack, activated a "Capitalism" spell, and then, with a loud and firm voice, declared:

"On this land..."

"I can hear their silent cries, I can see their indescribable pain, I constantly smell the blood, fused into the earth!"

"Some have already lost the chance to see the dawn of the future."

"Those who have fought to live to this moment will continue to advance towards victory, standing on the shoulders of their predecessors' efforts!"

At this instant.

Sedir's spell took effect.

But she did not use magic attacks, because through previous engagements, Sedir understood how adept at fighting Ralayer was.

This time, Sedir utilized the ability to manipulate value from "Capitalism," altering the magic formula she had struck on Ralayer before, and instantaneously withdrawing all the absolute value of the Magic Potions!

The situation reversed instantly.

After a battle that lasted several hours, Ralayer had repeatedly injected Magic Potions into his body.

Now, having suddenly lost all the effects brought by the Magic Potions, his body immediately displayed a weak, uncoordinated state, to the extent that he couldn't even complete his pouncing posture, and simply fell to the ground.

"Ahhh—"

Seeing Ralayer fall into weakness, Sedir did not hesitate to draw the dagger from her waist, rushing forward to stab down towards her enemy's head.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Of course, Ralayer wouldn't sit and wait for death; he immediately used his remaining strength, tightly binding Sedir's wrist with his tentacles.

Yet, facing Sedir, Ralayer felt a power from her that surpassed his expectations. Even though his tentacles, transformed by original canon spells, tightly coiled around her, they could only barely delay Sedir's actions and couldn't fling her off him.

"You... how can you possess such strength!"

Ralayer asked in a tone of disbelief.

He could sense that, at this moment, the forces were evenly matched, but Sedir, with an unknown strength, steadily drove the dagger towards him!

The dagger's sharp gleam flashed before him, and the tense force couldn't block its approach!

Confronted with Ralayer's incredulous gaze and question, Sedir glanced at her fellow resistance fighters still fighting desperately on the battlefield.

"Ralayer, it's not that my strength is so great!"

"It's because your strength is false!"

"..."

High above, Ronald witnessed everything unfold below with his own eyes.

He saw, in their extremely weakened states, how Sedir, with seemingly inexplicable strength, pressed the dagger bit by bit into Ralayer's body.

Just like that.

The life-and-death battle between Sedir and Ralayer concluded.

Though it didn't have the impact as apparent as ancient battlefield generals clashing.

As the news of this scene spread to the surroundings, the prolonged stalemate battlefield started to undergo significant changes. Learning that their original canon holder had died, the government's army began to gradually lose confidence in the battle, continuously retreating back to the waterfall's heights.

Meanwhile, even though Sedir wasn't in good condition, the resistance army was greatly encouraged by directly killing the opponent's leader. As the government army's morale dwindled, the resistance courageously pushed the frontline forward.

"Ronald, the battle is over..."

High above, Phil in Ronald's arms also spoke with a complex tone.

Although she didn't have Ronald's exaggerated eyesight to observe every detail below, judging by the general movement of people, Phil could sense what was happening in Waterfall City.

The scales of war were tipping towards one side.

With the fighting spirit and numbers dwindling, this trend would rise like a surging wave, ultimately swallowing everything from one side.

Although the detail clean-up part within the city might still take some time.

Regarding the overall battlefield trend, in a few hours, the warring sides below might decide the victor.

"..."

At such a close distance, Ronald certainly wouldn't be unaware of the child's feelings. He looked at Phil, who was biting her lip with a complex expression, and immediately noticed the little girl's inner desire to go down.

"Phil, do you want to go down and take a look?"

"..."

"Hmm, I want to go down."

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Phil's eyes showed some struggle, but she quickly nodded.

Because in Phil's heart.

This war is the main culprit that caused her to lose her parents and family.

Watching this calamity suddenly arrive, and then suddenly about to disappear below this city, even though her heart was filled with fear mixed with anger, Phil's rational mind still told her that she needed to see everything that happened here with her own eyes and remember this scene.

"Alright, then let's go down."

Ronald completely went along with Phil's wish and immediately lowered the distance between them.

His first target for landing was Sedir, who was too exhausted to move after the battle and had been carried into a building by her rebellion companions for protection.

"Someone's coming down from the sky!"

"Protect Miss Sedir!"

"Enemy attack!"

Ronald made no attempt to conceal his actions, and this naturally startled the ground rebellion troops.

But before he could explain.

Sedir, who was dealing with her injuries, stopped her companions' actions first.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

"The one coming down from above is my friend, Mr. Ronald."

The atmosphere among the rebellion troops eased slightly.

Seeing that Sedir had already calmed down these tense warriors, Ronald landed beside Sedir without saying a word, holding Phil.

At this moment.

A middle-aged doctor was leaning close to Sedir.

Besides using the potions he carried to treat wounds, this middle-aged man also showed signs of magic fluctuations, indicating he was an excellent healer adept at various methods.

"Sedir, congratulations. You have won this battle on your side." Ronald congratulated Sedir, who was pale.

The girl lying on the ground smiled as she accepted Ronald's blessing.

"Although a lot of formal words were said before, I must thank you, Ronald, for today."

Ronald returned the smile, then pointed at Sedir's wounds:

"Do you need help with your injuries?"

Sedir glanced at the busy doctor by her side and replied:

"That's not necessary. My companions shouldn't let me die so easily, right?"

"..."

The two of them exchanged a few simple words.

After confirming that Sedir didn't need his help, Ronald bid farewell.

"Since you don't need help, I won't disturb you."

Afterwards, Ronald didn't linger.

With Phil, the two began walking around Waterfall City, as the child still had many things she wanted to see for herself.

This activity continued until it was nearing noon.

Just as he was pondering how to resolve the issue of lunch for Phil in Waterfall City, Ronald sensed the magic fluctuation of Costate.

This was the maid notifying Ronald that Nicole's matters had been resolved.

However, since Costate had lost the spell to manipulate airflow, she couldn't fly and was rushing over on foot, using this method to inform Ronald of her movements in advance.

Everything was already over.

Whether it was everything he had been involved in or Nicole and Costate's matters.

Sensing Costate's magic fluctuation, Ronald gently ruffled Phil's hair beside him and said with some emotion:

"Let's go, Phil."

"Things here have ended, and I'm ready to leave this city."
