Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1288 - 1282: Methods Unleashed

The reaction of the fire element was exactly as Ronald expected.

The fire element, which attacked at the cost of damaging itself, naturally sensed Catherine's state.

This woman who could greatly influence the physical form of itself.

Despite being seriously injured, she hadn't perished, and her condition was rapidly recovering!

Even though it's an elemental life form different from organic life.

But the fire element was well aware that it had to pursue Catherine now!

If not, when this woman recovered from her injuries, the situation facing itself, being subject to her, would only worsen.

However, the will of the fire element did not translate into action.

Just as it was about to launch a counterattack, Ronald's incantation was completed, and the effect of the spell "Invisible Hand" immediately surrounded him.

The scorching rays that had just condensed on its surface dissipated inexplicably in the air after barely traveling two or three meters.

"..."

Seeing this, the fire element did not freeze in bewilderment but decisively canceled this severely magic-consuming attack method.

Regrettably.

It did not know that the spell "Invisible Hand" was a special spell that was most effective only at the very beginning.

Upon seeing Ronald nullifying its attack with a spell.

It naturally assumed that its attack method was completely countered by this man, deciding to conserve energy for other plans.

"One despicable trick after another."

"Sinister and cunning!"

Switching attention to Ronald, the fire element's voice was filled with anger.

Yet between those angry tones, Ronald clearly felt the fire element cautiously watching the spear in his hand.

Having its body pierced directly by that previous strike, he was a bit uncertain about these objects, and after experiencing the blow from "Invisible Hand," it placed Ronald at a threat level equivalent to Catherine.

"..."

Ronald remained silent too.

He just gathered strength, then in an extremely short time, hurled other spears he'd created at the opponent.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The sharp spear tips pierced the air.

Although Ronald's attack seemed simple, it also concealed his strategic thinking about the battle.

Firstly, "Solar Power" definitely couldn't be used.

Compared to Catherine's nuclear energy-extracted power, the flame of "Solar Power," which perfectly fits the traditional mystic meaning, would likely only enhance the fire element's strength when hitting its body.

To succeed in the attack phase, other means must be adopted.

So, apart from the hard biological scales from the dust giant beast, Ronald exerted great power while throwing the spear, adding a spell-level spiral thrust with the "Angel Sovereign" ability.

Thus, the spear's power was elevated to the extreme on a physical level.

Ping, ping, ping—!!!

Facing Ronald's incredibly fast attack speed, the fire element had no time to evade.

With three crisp sounds, these spirally advancing spears pierced several holes in the enemy's body.

"Ahhh!"

First, a crack was sliced on its body, followed by enduring the pain of being pierced through. Under a succession of powerful attacks, the fire element screamed miserably as it began to fall.

Ronald pressed the advantage.

While once again using "On the Origin of Species" to condense lethal spears, he also used a spell to lock onto the trajectory of the falling fire element.

Then his arm bent, and tremendous power was once again imbued in the spear.

This strike would surely hit.

The enemy had no possibility of evading!

Crash—

At the critical moment, light converged on the fire element's body and then condensed into a circular light ring.

Danger! This move is extremely dangerous!

Ronald instantly recognized it as one of the spells used by the original fire element demigod during "Four Corners" to clear an entire city.

Although the mechanical fire element just inherited its divinity.

As a kin, it clearly mastered this attack quickly, readying it to counter Ronald and Catherine.

Ronald dared not delay, throwing the spear and immediately dodging.

The sight of this thing wreaking havoc in the city of fire was still fresh in mind.

Even though he had "Human Reason Limit" as a trump card, he couldn't use it casually at this moment.

Swish—

The expanding light ring from the fire element flashed by.

Everywhere the spell passed, the air whirled fiercely, the earth split, and the thrown spear collided and was unsurprisingly shattered.

In the face of Ronald and Catherine's reluctance to confront it directly.

Within the "Infinite Negative Field," no substance could block the ring's advance!

The entire land was thus slashed, creating a massive fissure.

In one strike, the terrain and topography had already changed!

"..."

Seeing both Ronald and Catherine choose to dodge due to its attack, the mechanical fire element dared not let the opportunity slip and immediately chose to continue its assault.

It manipulated the magic power within itself in the most lavishly wasteful yet most destructive manner, beginning to unleash the power it just obtained!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The next second, light suddenly appeared.

In the "Infinite Negative Field," countless rays of light were born from here.

This was the attack method chosen by the fire element.

It let endless flames spray outwards, filled with magic's high-temperature scorching and burning everything around it. Viewed from afar, the fire element at this moment looked like a child's doodle of the sun, emitting innumerable rays of light!

In such a situation, trying to dodge attacks at close range was nearly impossible.

Below, floating on lava while repairing her body, Catherine could barely find gaps in these scorching rays to avoid danger.

But Ronald had no room to dodge, crashing directly into the fire element's costliest outpouring!

"..."

"This... this is impossible!"

A few seconds later, the heat and light vanished from this space.

Yet within the fire element's senses, it discovered an utterly despairing fact—Ronald was completely unharmed.

A unique and subtle conceptual field surrounded Ronald within a ten-meter radius.

Ronald simply stood within it, and even though multiple luminous rays passed through his body, he was not hurt in any way. As if all negative things were erased by this spell.

——That was naturally "Human Reason Limit."

With danger looming, Ronald didn't take chances, immediately deploying his strongest defensive spell for resistance.

Thus watching Ronald who was intact.

Beneath, the fire element, after initial shock and fear, suddenly experienced a mental uplift!

Having just inherited divinity and even being unfamiliar with most abilities.

Upon seeing the existence form of "Human Reason Limit."

It thought of the handiest method for those with divinity shown by the previous demigod—domain!
