Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 908: Confrontation


"Sedir, my previous promise to you still holds."

He first taunted Sedir.

Then, Laleiye's attitude, on the contrary, underwent a reversal at this moment.

The King of Agents of Entrode didn't continue to use any spell attacks but instead fixed his eyes on the leader of the resistance opposite him, speaking in a serious and earnest tone:

"Give up on those who gather due to unrealistic ideas."

"Above the waterfall, you can receive the most accurate spell guidance, learning from experienced original holders who will selflessly share knowledge with each other. Even the property left behind by the former royal family will also be fully open to you."

"The upper echelon of Entrode is currently empty and is in need of powerful original holders like you to join."

After hearing Laleiye's 'persuasion to surrender,' Sedir was furious yet laughed in anger:

"Laleiye, I think you're truly insane!"

"On this battleground of life and death, you still think to turn me?"

"That's impossible!"

"..."

"This is not impossible because smart people often choose the wise path." Laleiye was completely unconcerned with Sedir's rage, instead responding in a matter-of-fact tone, "I know your background very well; a few months ago, you were still an ordinary person ignorant of the mystical side."

"To acquire an original and learn its spells in such a short time, I don't think you are a foolish person."

"..."

At this moment, from a distance, Ronald noticed a very hidden scene.

In a world that ordinary casters couldn't observe.

A massive amount of value was rapidly brewing upon Sedir.

The leader of the resistance was preparing some sort of powerful spell. But at the same time, she maintained her conversation with Laleiye opposite her:

"So, because of this, I should betray those who trust me and bow down to you?"

Sedir's tone remained angry, even incredulous.

She couldn't understand why Laleiye, the leader of the entire Entrode spy agency, would utter such impossible words.

However, Laleiye still insisted on his point of view:

"From an ordinary person to an original holder. The rapid change in strength should have made you aware of the vast difference between yourself and a mortal. Accept this reality, Sedir. Only those of the same kind can converse on equal footing. You and these mortals are just like a manipulator and a puppet."

With these words, Laleiye's tone shifted:

"Moreover, Sedir, beings like us should analyze matters rationally and realistically."

"Indeed, if the resistance wins, you can achieve endless power and wealth—but choosing to join us can achieve the same, avoiding unnecessary battles and gaining benefits that were originally impossible..."

"Enough! You bastard, shut up!" Sedir suddenly burst into a curse.

Originally, she could suppress her mood and feign civility with Laleiye.

But after hearing these words, the girl couldn't suppress her inner anger any longer:

"Who do you think you are?"

"Let me tell you, precisely because I transitioned from an ordinary person to an original holder in such a short time, I realized more clearly than all of you that—there is no difference between us!"

"Stubbornness, stupidity, egoism, arrogance... What difference do these traits have among ordinary people, on me, or on you? Essentially, everyone lives in this world for survival."

"Don't think that by grasping a bit of power, you can consider yourself a god!"

"..."

Sedir's heartfelt anger seemed very agreeable to Ronald, who listened nearby.

Unfortunately, the real target of these words remained unmoved.

At this moment, Laleiye just felt the woman in front of him was incomprehensibly foolish, thinking his analysis from the perspective of practical benefits was like speaking to a wall.

"Truly hopeless..."

"The circulation process of capital proceeds in three stages; according to the description in Volume 1, these stages form an order of succession..."

Just as Laleiye was speaking, Sedir, who had long been brewing her value, finally completed its deployment.

The girl began to chant the incantation loudly without hesitation.

A new power took effect immediately, instantly altering the original method of value extraction.

Ronald, who shared the same casting system, could see very clearly.

Invisible tunnels channeling the flow of value began to establish themselves on Sedir and across from her on Laleiye, and as these unique passages established, they even directly interacted with the value in the surrounding environment.

Ultimately, as the spell was completed, a closed loop of value accumulation formed between the two.

—This spell.

—Is from the second volume of "Capitalism."

Through the content Sedir recited and the effect of the spell, Ronald recognized that the girl before him was progressing smoothly on the path of deciphering the spells of "Capitalism," having already reached the parts in the second volume.

In contrast,

Laleiye's face showed seriousness and confusion.

The King of Agents clearly knew that Sedir completed a spell before him.

But without knowledge of the value system, he couldn't discern the essential effect of the spell from his opponent.

Laleiye could feel his stamina decreasing.

But for such a decrease, for an original holder like him, it couldn't even keep up with his recovery speed.

Would a spell brewed so extensively by Sedir serve merely such a trivial purpose?

Of course not!

Swish—

Faced with a spell whose essence he couldn't master.

Laleiye nevertheless opted for the wisest approach—evasion.

So the King of Agents of Entrode waved his right hand in the air, and the light around him suddenly dimmed.

Then, amidst this chaotic environment, Laleiye himself transformed into a mass of darkness that merged within it, his figure disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Uwaa—"

Even more frighteningly, Sedir suddenly seemed to suffer an attack at this moment.

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed violently out of her mouth.

"Not good!"

"..."

"Lord Sedir, are you alright?"

"That guy disappeared, where is he?"

Behind Sedir, the warriors of the resistance she had just saved appeared tense.

They were entirely unaware of Laleiye's current whereabouts.

They only felt that the dangerous enemy could leap out from any shadow around them.

But just at this time, the newly wounded Sedir spoke to them:

"Rest assured, everyone, the situation is under control."

"I will lead you to victory!"

"..."

On the other side, Ronald also nodded secretly at the scene.

He understood the source of Sedir's confidence—although Laleiye concealed his form, the channel extracting his value remained stable.

One who could perceive this concept need not see Laleiye himself.

They could directly pinpoint his location!
