"!!!"
Actually, the young man’s movements were faster than his words.
Just as Ronald realized what he was about to face, this guy had already stepped forward in a matter of seconds.
He reached out to grab that slender and graceful waist.
What a joke!
Before, going with the flow and using word spirit magic to control two enemies and follow him was no problem for Ronald.
But if he were to use seduction and comply with the enemy’s will...
Whether considering personal dignity or other aspects, this was beyond what he could accept.
Even for the sake of defeating the enemy.
He couldn’t truly sell his beauty!
In an instant, Magic Power began to surge within, enhancing his strength. Ronald’s right hand clenched into a fist, ready to strike.
Just waiting for the moment the opponent came near, unsuspecting.
He would deliver a hard blow to the guy’s head.
Unfortunately, before he could make his move, someone stepped in to stop the opponent’s actions first.
The caster from the "Nine Commandments" seduced by Ronald’s word spirit magic still followed the initial setup—to protect the nun’s safety.
So when the man in front was about to make his move.
One of them took a step to the right, blocking between the guy and Ronald, and sternly warned:
"That’s enough, Lenny! Now is not the time for us to mess around!"
The young man who was stopped looked displeased.
But knowing he was in the wrong, he couldn’t confront the blocker directly, so he softened his stance:
"We’ve been in here for a whole week, can’t you let me relax a bit?"
"I just want her body, I’m not going to damage her soul. And even if there was trouble, at that time, just using the rational person hypothesis, wouldn’t everything come out honestly?"
The caster blocking Ronald immediately denied:
"There’s no room for any luck in this matter."
"This nun comes from an ancient past, the spells from that era have their unique aspects, not something we can carelessly handle. If an accident happens, none of us can bear the consequences."
Speaking of which, the caster from the "Nine Commandments" blocking his companion seemed to feel his words were too harsh.
Companions entering the sacred city.
No need for such disputes, it’s crucial to ease the tension.
Thinking this way, his tone softened:
"Lenny, I understand you’re feeling stifled here, but aren’t we all?"
"After all, it’s related to the life and death of the organization, you wouldn’t want to fail the president’s trust, right?"
"..."
Bringing up the president immediately made the young man who wanted to act withdraw his intentions:
"Alright, alright, it really was my fault."
He waved his hand, no longer lingering his gaze on Ronald, but turning to lead the way into the inner monastery:
"My brother and the others are still inside, deciphering the central position of the cathedral. That place is covered by a barrier, it’s hard for them to hear if shouted from outside. Anyway, let’s go and have a look."
With conflicts eased, the group moved forward.
As they progressed, every few steps, Ronald’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.
All the way along.
Ruined courtyards could be seen everywhere, destroyed by the casters.
The "Nine Commandments" team wasn’t a formal archaeological group, they had no consciousness of protecting ancient cities or relics.
They came here with clear motives and purposes.
Only looking for treasures to defeat the enemy or items to change the situation.
Thus, despite the grandeur or artistic achievements of the buildings in the sacred city, preventing strangers from entering with spells.
In these people’s eyes, they were merely obstacles in front of them.
In the visible range, the courtyards within the monastery lined up in a straight line, almost completely destroyed inside.
The broken buildings and the Magical Power diffusing in the air.
Silently telling the expert skills of the casters from the "Nine Commandments" in breaking barriers.
All members of the group were capable casters.
After merely a few minutes of travel, they approached the central area of the monastery.
First glimpsed was a barrier.
However, this barrier wasn’t for expelling outsiders or defense.
Harmless to humans and animals, it only divided the sound area inside and outside the barrier, suppressing the sounds within its range, so quiet that even a drop could be heard. It belonged to the category requiring no attention.
Ronald walked into it.
The moment he stepped inside, silence enveloped him.
The barrier even suppressed the breath of air flow beneath, filling the air with solemnity brought by quietness. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Surrounding this silence was a simple chapel.
The grey-white low building was unremarkable, the common wood and stone structure had no special features.
Not to mention sculptures or fountain decorations.
It was the place where the monks of the monastery engaged in daily prayer activities, and also the most central chapel of the entire monastery.
A testament to the monks’ simple faith in the past.
Aside from all superfluous functions, it had only the simplest and most fundamental chapel features.
As for the other two who appeared in Ronald’s perception earlier.
They were now deciphering the core defense.
The two engrossed individuals were so focused that they hadn’t even realized the arrival of others.
Until Lenny, leading the way, spoke up, "Brother, something’s up," they paused their work and looked back.
Like their brother.
The two first saw their companions from the "Nine Commandments," and then their attention shifted to Ronald.
After a similar explanation clarified the situation.
They didn’t follow their companions’ requests to immediately escort Ronald back to the president’s area but instead pulled the two new casters close to the church, pointing at the chapel in front:
"After a day and two nights of exploration, we’ve figured out the basic structure of this place. Now to break this thing, simply requires a massive influx of Magic Power in one go."
"You’re here just in time, why not give us a hand, and then go to the president"
The casters pulled ahead immediately wished to refuse:
"I believe the most important task right now..."
"Escorting this guy to meet the president is important, of course!" Without waiting for the other to finish, the caster who pulled them over interrupted directly, "But you should know, this barrier’s spell is quite flexible, if we don’t seize the opportunity now, once we leave and abandon it, the subsequent deciphering will require the same amount of effort."
Saying this, the caster placed his hand on his companion’s shoulder:
"Everyone is here for the continuation and development of the organization, we can’t let our efforts be wasted, right? Besides, it’s just asking you to contribute some Magic Power, it won’t take much time."
"..."
With the words said, refusing their companion now clearly wasn’t appropriate.
The two casters reluctantly agreed, moving forward to assist, not even Lenny who led them was left out.
Five people in total!
All were powerful casters from the "Nine Commandments."
Together they broke the barrier, and the massive Magical Power almost instantly met the requirements to dissolve it.
The anticipated barrier breakdown succeeded indeed.
But just as everything settled, the plain-colored grey-white chapel unexpectedly burst with sacred white light.
Leaving almost no chance to react, it engulfed everyone present!
