The spell took effect in a mere instant.
Hundreds of meters away in the sky, the council wizards of Barrier Mountain successfully activated their original spells.
was an immediate change in the environment where Ronald and his two companions were located.
After an instant too swift for anyone to react, the scene before Ronald’s eyes abruptly went dark.
This kind of spell had no warning.
It was only in the moment when the spell’s incantation was voiced, that the objects composed entirely of magic power around them blotted out all sight.
Ronald furrowed his brow.
Looking around, he found himself in a place that was dimly lit and so narrow it made movement difficult. Black barriers, formed by the spell, made a completely sealed off space. Even if his gaze could pierce the darkness, there was no chance of seeing a way out here.
Moreover, beyond that,
Ronald’s own spells were also significantly disrupted.
The wide-ranging scouting ability of "Fury" was confined within this tiny predicament, and senses like enhanced hearing, fortified by spells, could not pick up any other news.
And, more reasonably,
Catherine and Barbule had disappeared.
The two companions, who were by Ronald’s side a second ago, had vanished from beside him the moment the spell took effect, leaving no trace of their existence. It seemed that in addition to imprisoning and restraining Ronald and his companions, the enemy also intended to isolate them from each other.
Were they looking to defeat them one by one?
Contemplating the possible tactics the enemy might employ, Ronald’s hand movements weren’t slow at all.
A skilled snap of his fingers sent out the "Astronomy Master’s" controlling ability, wrapped in formidable magic power, immediately slamming into all four walls of the enclosed space.
The ground shook, walls trembled.
An obvious reaction promptly appeared here following the spell attack.
After observing the situation quietly for several seconds, Ronald came to a conclusion.
"Astronomy Master" had certainly affected the enemy’s spell, but, unfortunately, had not reached the level of destroying it or creating even a crack.
"As long as I can interfere, that’s good..."
Faced with this situation, Ronald heaved a sigh of relief instead.
Among the spells he mastered, the ability of "Astronomy Master" could only be considered as of normal outlay, and the method used by Ronald was quite unique, aiming the effect specifically at physical impact.
The result was very encouraging.
Since even such an attack could interfere with this place, Ronald was naturally full of confidence in breaching the enemy’s constraints using other spells.
"Starting from the relationship between the entire Earth and sky, we begin to construct our understanding..."
The mark of the original on Ronald’s wrist flickered.
Immediately after, came the power of "Astronomy Master’s" [Current Cycle].
If speaking of the strength of spell power, then the force symbolized by the [Current Cycle]—the movement of celestial bodies—absolutely ranked among the strong in Ronald’s arsenal of spells.
There was no better time than now!
A sound akin to glass shattering continued unbroken in this space. The most update n0vels are published on novel{f}ire.net
A second ago, it was pitch black and tightly sealed, but now cracks like ice fissures appeared and rapidly spread in all directions. With Ronald’s vision, he could even see the light from the outside world seeping through these cracks.
Watching the spell on the verge of completely shattering,
Ronald gently smiled, his hands moving without much hesitation.
He quickly reset the spells he used to fortify his body.
Ronald then stepped forward immediately, kicking crisply at the black fissure before him.
A force far surpassing that of an ordinary person, an attack already possessing tremendous destructive power.
The already shattered black walls were in no condition to bear any further attack, so how could they continue to hold up against such an onslaught?
There were no surprises.
The spell-constructed barrier crumbled instantly under Ronald’s stomp.
The perplexing scene once again appeared before Ronald’s eyes.
After the destruction of the black magic barrier, he was not returned to the original wilderness outside but rather found himself standing in a dimly lit passage.
On both sides, every few meters, there were torches stuck in the walls, and small rooms were fenced off one after another, with a pungent odor lingering in the air.
No need for excess imagination.
Clearly, this was a place that resembled the typical look of an ancient dungeon.
A spell wrapped in another spell?
Only someone skilled in the magic arts could pull off such a trick.
Ronald immediately recognized the spellcasting prowess of his adversary.
However, shortly thereafter, he realized the identity of the wizard casting the spell—the one belonging to the Council of Six.
Although the distance was great.
Using his keen hearing, Ronald was able to barely make out a few words of the incantation.
—That must be a phrase in Chinese.
After all this time since crossing over.
It was finally Ronald’s turn to confront the original works of his homeland.
However, this first battle seemed to be a rather tricky situation indeed.
As the thought crossed his mind.
Ronald immediately prepared to cast another spell.
His strategy was simple: attack and continue the destruction.
No matter how many scenes manifested from the spells, the counter was to destroy them all!
Regardless of the opponent’s plans.
If he could simply overpower and completely crush these spells, then sooner or later the caster would reveal a weakness while sustaining the spellcasting.
That would be the moment when life and death were decided.
Ronald quickly drew his conclusions, but reality seemed to be against a smooth progression of his plan.
Just as Ronald was preparing to continue his spellcasting,
A rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from across the prison passageway.
The figure of an unfamiliar woman then advanced towards Ronald from the dimly lit end of the corridor.
Ronald had not seen this person before.
But given the Barrier Mountain wizard’s robe she wore and the unhidden murderous intent radiating from her thought waves,
The conclusion was still obvious.
This was one of the three wizards who had pursued him.
Considering the current situation, she was clearly here to target Ronald!
As the distance between them closed, Ronald quickly noticed the confident look on the woman’s face.
Facing such an adversary, Ronald instead showed a bitter smile.
"This really is quite a coincidence..."
Although the battle today may have had its twists and turns,
The outcome was shaping up nicely.
Three on each side, each entering a one-on-one fight to the death.
That was exactly in line with what Ronald and his two companions had previously envisioned!
Was that the battle’s home field was likely going to be on the magical terrain created by the opponent.
