Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 546 - 543: All Cards on the Table

Little William didn’t die immediately.

In fact, just as Bapulor said, this man was also proficient in the spellcraft of the dark Magician sect.

The moment he realized his body had sustained a lethal injury,

Little William activated a spell to alter the state of his flesh; numerous buds burst from his wound, starting to reconstitute his organs and sew his body back together.

In just two seconds,

The man had repaired the damage inflicted by Ronald’s sword.

However, Little William, after all, was not Bapulor, who had direct mastery over the original texts.

Although his bisected body was reconnected, his complexion was incredibly poor, and his exposed skin showed not a trace of blood.

His entire appearance

Was akin to a specimen fished out from formalin.

"..."

With such a body, Little William still looked in bewilderment at Ronald across the water.

Not a vestige of the multi-masted shipwreck he had sealed could be seen.

But this man, Ronald, who shouldn’t have appeared in the first place, was now floating there.

Soon, confusion faded from the man’s eyes.

As Little William began to reset his defensive spells, he quickly glanced towards his old boss:

"Bapulor, you’ve really found yourself a good helper, I..."

"Are you panicking?" Little William had just opened his mouth to say something when Bapulor opened his eyes wide with a smile, saying, "You’re scared, aren’t you?"

"What reason are you going to use to try to drive a wedge between me and Ronald?"

"Come on, spit it out."

"..."

Little William’s expression instantly filled with resentment.

He pointed his finger at Bapulor, continually shaking it, "You... You really think you know everything, that my everything, including my life and death, is within your plans?"

Then Bapulor answered very earnestly:

"That’s still a bit off, isn’t it? That impressive-sounding title temporarily belongs to Dantrian, right?"

"..."

Little William was rendered speechless by Bapulor’s response.

As he pondered how to proceed, an even more crisis-laden situation arose.

Bapulor, still watching his underling with interest,

Didn’t even begrudge him the freedom to cast any spell he wanted.

However, Ronald was not so accommodative.

While these few words were exchanged, this man used the time to recite an incantation, clearly preparing to launch an attack on him!

"Wuwa——"

Suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with flesh spurted from Little William’s mouth.

His face turned nearly to that of a complete corpse.

As the figure of the Caster stiffened in the air, he realized that his heart had been crushed by an invisible force, and that this force was even going on to attack his other organs!

Yet the spell was as quick to vanish as it was to arrive.

After crushing the heart, it immediately lost its strength and then ceased to be effective.

He almost died.

Little William was very sure of that.

If it weren’t for the spell he had initiated just now to repair his body, there would have been no other outcome after his heart was crushed by someone’s grasp.

And having sustained another potentially fatal blow,

Little William’s strength had reached its limit.

Even if Ronald and Bapulor didn’t continue their assault and merely faced off, he would pass out on his own in about a quarter of an hour.

Thinking of this, Little William couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards Bapulor.

If he could master the school’s original texts like his "dear old boss," an injury like this could be repaired over a dozen times with ease, and he would never have ended up in such a dire state.

"I... really have it good, don’t I..."

Something occurred to Little William, and he began to clench his teeth as he activated his last trump card.

At that moment, Bapulor sent his regards with noticeable concern:

"Little William, have you come to terms with it? Are you willing to die now?"

"I remember you are from the southern county; I believe there’s a custom there to bury birds at funerals. How many would you like, what kind...?"

Little William could no longer contain himself and roared as he punched himself in the stomach.

"Go to Hell yourself!"

——At this very moment.

——Ronald was rushing towards the position of the two heretical magicians.

With his current outstanding ability to perceive, he was aware of Bapulor and Little William’s actions.

The two attacks that had just occurred were undoubtedly aimed at taking Little William’s life.

Unfortunately, these heretical magicians’ spells were so pesky that even wounds fatal enough to kill could be mended in a really short time.

Right now, the fog from Hell was not flying as fast as the person himself.

The chance to use the most lethal long-range attack had also been used up.

Therefore, Ronald’s choice was naturally to immediately close the distance with Little William and use the Sword of Saint Catherine in his hand to completely end the enemy’s life.

After all, judging by appearances alone, one could tell that Little William was at the end of his strength.

He posed no significant threat.

A hundred meters’ distance, with Ronald’s current speed, was covered in the blink of an eye.

However, Little William’s act of desperation was simply to raise his hand and deliver a brutal punch to his own belly.

Snap—

His palm pierced through flesh, and something resembling a children’s flipbook was yanked out along with blood and tissue.

Boom!

The next second, a violent explosion was triggered from Little William’s hand.

Ronald could feel the original-class magic power emanating from this individual, and his first thought was that Little William wanted his original text to go berserk, pulling everyone into the trial of the original text.

Sadly... Ronald was mistaken.

This Little William looked somewhat intelligent, but as a favorite underling of Bapulor, how could he lack a trait that made him seem insane?

Little William’s action was not to make the original text go berserk.

He had chosen to sacrifice himself, and in doing so, had activated the most powerful sacrificial spell contained within his original text.

And the target of this sacrificial spell...

It was the original text that Little William had just extracted from within his body!

After the explosive burst of magic power began to flow, it immediately collided with the book that was its source.

That instant, a powerful current of air erupted from the original text.

The immense magic power began to dissipate instantly.

Ronald and Bapulor, being the closest to Little William, couldn’t even stabilize their forms in time and were blown away tremendous distances.

Above the sea, Ronald steadied himself as swiftly as he could manage.

He raised the Sword of Saint Catherine in front of him and looked up, preparing to withstand the terrible attack that was about to come.

——His field of vision was severely affected.

The explosion had churned the seawater and ice shards, and the mingled currents of air and magic power made everything chaotically turbulent... In such a situation, relying solely on the naked eye was futile in discerning any valuable information!

Two more seconds passed before Ronald caught the first stir.

That was Bapulor’s furious bellowing:

"Little William, have you lost your mind?"

"Since you’re going to die anyway, you just had to mess up your own original text, didn’t you?" frёeωebɳovel.com
