Above the ground, in the pitch-dark night sky.
From a height hardly detectable by human sight, four iron skewers meant for barbecuing were thrown downward.
These ordinary, slender skewers instantly pierced through the Spell-built defenses.
Then, they penetrated the heads of four sentries on the ground.
The entire process was swift and covert, and it also did not trigger any reaction from the alarm spells. Assassinating a few sentries of the Nine Commandments almost seemed effortlessly simple.
"Indeed, he is a master of the Secret Hand sect."
"Sir, your Spellcraft has reached such an undetectable and powerful realm."
Hovering in the air, Ronald was formally flattering another person, who was clearly the owner of the four iron skewers.
Receiving such a compliment, the praised Caster humbly replied:
"You flatter me, I usually cannot achieve such long-range attacks. It is also thanks to Ms. Ai’s assistance that I was able to pinpoint the enemy’s location at this distance."
Immediately, an elderly lady on the other end spoke:
"Now that we’ve taken out these sentries, we should consider how to get in, right? People from the Nine Commandments are always tough to deal with; if we can’t handle the Guardian Magic properly, it’s likely that the enemy might escape."
Upon her words, several Casters in the air began to look at one another.
Among them were those capable of solving the problem, but the involved Spells inevitably related to core techniques of their sects. Revealing them in front of these mysterious and important figures still raised some concerns.
However, while some hesitated over such matters, others did not seem to care.
Watching the wary interactions among these people, Luo De directly canceled his Flying Spell and dropped down like a cannonball.
After the figure had shrunk considerably in view,
The man’s voice then came from below:
"Let me handle this..."
Indeed, he was the chief spy of Entrod.
While falling, he cast a Spell and, just as his figure nearly reached the ground, Luo De’s prepared Spell struck the Guardian Magic.
Luo De did not destroy the Nine Commandments’ Guardian Magic.
He merely integrated a specially structured Magic Power into the construct of the Guardian Magic.
Then, a very intriguing scene unfolded.
The Guardian Magic, which under normal circumstances would have activated, was now utterly silent.
At the moment the two powers made contact,
Luo De’s Magic Power seamlessly blended into the structure of the Guardian Magic, altering its nature fundamentally. It took less than three seconds for the Guardian Magic, set up by the Nine Commandments, to change ownership silently, now controlled by Luo De.
"Such impressive techniques in a place like Entrod?"
Noticing the scene unfolding below, one of the Casters in the air couldn’t help but speak out.
Entrod, a country ravaged by war, was expected to excel in the most direct and violent combat Spells, and its most famous sects had also been severely devastated.
Yet now, the technique Luo De employed completely exceeded the realms that ordinary researchers could touch. Even among the Casters present, most wouldn’t dare say they could handle such an adversary.
Thus, a common doubt emerged in their minds.
In these war-torn years, what exactly had happened in Entrod, what secrets were now hidden within the sects operating within its borders?
The silence in the air did not last long.
Seeing that R’lyeh had already dealt with the Guardian Magic, one of the investigators stepped forward.
He pulled a spindle-shaped metal component from his pocket.
Then aimed it straight down at the hill below.
The metal pierced through the air vertically, and as it reached about a hundred meters above the ground, the spell wrapped around it unleashed its Magic Power, forming an invisible barrier that perfectly encased the targeted area.
With a satisfied look in his eyes, the investigator spoke:
"Now rest assured, the space in this area has been successfully anchored, and the people below won’t be able to escape using any spatial transfer spells unless they can annihilate us all, no one will escape tonight."
Watching the investigator’s demeanor, the casters understood and dreaded the situation.
The spell to anchor space was a rarity across the entire cryptic side, and the fact that this investigator could deploy such an artifact served as a silent warning to them.
"As long as you abide by the law, this guy won’t make a move."
"A friendly reminder, you should still learn from the legal structure of Greed, otherwise, it might be too late later on."
At that moment, the girl holding the umbrella, whom Ronald had noticed earlier, spoke. Having witnessed everything that occurred within the team, her expression remained unchanged, as if everything that happened was to be expected.
"I know you don’t really want to expose the secrets of your spells."
"So, leave the task of catching this guy to me."
As soon as her words fell, the girl gripped the opened umbrella with her right hand and nonchalantly swiped downwards with her left.
Instantly, the earth shook violently.
After the girl whispered a spell only she could hear, a giant footprint suddenly appeared on the hillside, as if an invisible titan from mythology had forcefully kicked the ground!
Watching the transformation of the hill below, the girl continued:
"He will be pulled out soon."
"If you don’t go down now, the good stuff will be taken by those from Entrode, huh?"
As the girl finished speaking, several casters very realistically flew downwards.
Watching their actions, Ronald wasn’t in a hurry to descend, especially since he had already modified the investigative traits of ’Fury’, making the casters from the [Nine Commandments] hiding inside the mountain clearly identifiable.
At that moment, the girl floating in the air also gave Ronald a smile:
"Hurry down, catching people is most important at this time."
"By the way, I’m on your side, Mr. Adler."
After saying these two lines, the girl shifted her gaze downwards, and her idle right hand once again—lifted—fell—
Her movements were completely synchronized.
The invisible giant palms continually smashed down on the ground, disintegrating the structure of the hill at a speed visible to the naked eye. Among the people Ronald had encountered, the girl’s spell power was certainly regarded as ’astounding.’
Ronald carefully observed the other party, and ’Fury’ also confirmed that the person did not harbor any special emotions.
Finally, he nodded towards her.
His figure descended, rushing towards the side of the mountain that was about to be opened.
