Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1320 - 1314: Heading Outside the City

Katrina accepted Ronald's dissuasion.

After changing her attitude, she didn't continue to use powerful destructive spells, but instead employed complete control over her summoned creatures to deal with the ones attacking her.

Magic Power surged, and the spell took effect immediately.

The few who slipped through Ronald's defenses were halted completely by just one spell from Katrina, unable to advance an inch.

"..."

At this moment, the head of the astronomical department lifted his head again, casting a smug glance towards Ronald:

"This time, I'll listen to you."

"But remember, Ronald, you owe me one."

"Alright, alright, I know, I owe you one!" Ronald quickly replied, then shifted his gaze to see more citizens of Hamono rushing over from other locations in the city.

The commotion from the series of confrontations and the fluctuation of Magic Power from various spells caused quite a disturbance.

Not to mention the entire city.

At least the nearby districts were already disrupted by the commotion here, prompting those with abilities to investigate the situation.

After all, this is Hamono.

The city they all love.

In the face of crises and challenges, the citizens of this city are always willing to lend a helping hand to their fellow countrymen.

"We can't stay here long!"

"Katrina, take these guys, and let's go!"

Seeing this, Ronald shouted out loud.

Katrina was clearly unwilling to engage in a meaningless battle with the entire city's residents.

Although the two of them indeed had the ability to handle any attack from the city's inhabitants, it wasn't a choice they would make based on the current situation or their personal intentions.

Thus, the incantation sounded.

Ronald and Katrina's figures soared into the air within the spell, flying straight upwards.

"They took people away!"

"Quick, save them, there are still people inside, saving people is urgent!"

"First, help everyone break free from the control spell, there's a fire over there!"

On the ground, the commotion finally arose.

The few with the strongest resistance to spells regained their senses at this moment, starting to organize the residents' self-rescue efforts.

However, it was unanimous that none of them continued to pursue Ronald and Katrina. Even the strongest who broke free from spell control understood the gap in their skills after the scene just now—a deep chasm impossible to cross. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Given the premise that it couldn't be done.

If they continued to stand out forcibly.

That wouldn't be behavior guided by kindness but purely a path to self-destruction!

...

Under the night sky.

Ronald and Katrina were flying towards the outskirts of the city.

Ronald flew in front, responsible for scouting the surrounding situation, leading Katherine behind him; while Katrina skillfully managed the true core creatures in her grasp, preventing any incidents during the flight.

This flight didn't take them far from Hamono.

Just a few minutes of flying beyond the city's boundaries, and they casually found a corner of a forest to land.

Thud—

After landing, Katrina swung her hand, a mass of white gel-like substance hit the ground, and she gently laid two human corpses against a tree.

Subjected to rough treatment, naturally, were the true core creatures extracted from human bodies.

Katrina seemed uninterested in further tormenting human bodies.

Thus, during the flight, she had already extracted these true core creatures, kneading them into a white ball of substantial elasticity.

After placing the human corpses, Katrina stepped forward and plunged the black longsword fiercely into the true core creature on the ground.

Accompanied by a 'crack' sound, the true core creature was directly pierced into the ground.

Even with its intelligence reduced to lower levels, it dared not continue to flee, merely twisting and struggling around the piercing sword like a heavily shaking, nailed-down piece of snowy rice cake.

"..."

With a smile, Katrina glanced at the true core creature she had handled, which at this moment dared not flee, then asked Ronald:

"Speaking of which, Ronald, couldn't we have just burned this thing in the city and quietly left?"

"Why did you call me to take them along and escape?"

"..."

Katrina's question indeed stumped Ronald.

The reason he called Katrina to leave just now was entirely because he didn't want the hot-tempered Katrina to impulsively act, harming the innocent residents in the city.

As for these true core creatures... they were certainly better off dead!

But for the sake of appearances, Ronald didn't voice the real reason directly, instead, he shifted his gaze and spoke in a solemn tone:

"We were in a rush in the city and didn't thoroughly question the summoned creatures ahead."

"Now that everything is at the concluding stage, it might be better to clarify everything, avoiding any unforeseen hidden dangers."

Hearing this explanation, Katrina looked at Ronald ambiguously:

"Oh~~ you're really thorough, aren't you?"

Seeing Katrina didn't directly reveal it, Ronald naturally accompanied her with a smile:

"It's necessary, thoroughness is necessary."

"..."

The ensuing interrogation process wasn't unexpected.

Katrina still cast a spell, transforming the immobile true core creature into a machine under her control.

Through a more detailed inquiry.

Ronald and Katrina learned about the development situation of these extra-worldly invaders over the past six months.

After the Entrode incident—

The summoned creatures' base far in the Arctic was completely destroyed, and the massive plan to summon their companions to this world also collapsed. Additionally, due to information leaks, they were notorious, with no survival space left in civilized society.

Regarding the wilderness...

In a world without magic, this strategy might have worked.

But their commotion in Entrode was too great, prompting the caster organizations truly upholding justice to sparingly employ precious prophetic spells for investigation.

Thus, encircled and pursued, the invaders had only one path left—escape.

Escape to regions outside civilization centers.

Thus, in the following months, they migrated globally, eventually arriving in the city of Hamono.

"..."

Once the inquiry ended.

The cause and development of everything lay clear before them.

However, Katrina didn't hasten to deal with the true core creature before her, rather she looked with interested eyes back in the direction they came from:

"Ronald, they're coming really fast."

Ronald showed a look of inevitability:

"Didn't we already experience it in the city? At least in terms of conveying information, their speed is indeed remarkable."
