Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 128 - 127: Invading the Vineyard

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Invading the Vineyard

Power-infused proverbs were uttered by the clergy.

Almost as soon as the words were out—

The other five present felt a certain special Magic Fluctuation appear before them. Centered around the clergy, an invisible Spell Power instantly spread over a distance of tens of meters into the interior of the winery.

"..."

After a brief calm.

In the nearby interior of the winery, a Magic Power filled with ominous air erupted, and such obvious commotion was directly noticeable to anyone on the mystical side.

—This simplifies matters.

Even if the winery’s manager came out to explain, no amount of talking would help.

This stark Magic Power response proved everything.

There must be personnel on the mystical side in the manor.

Even if he wasn’t an official member of the winery, merely hiding within.

The investigators present would not hesitate to level the place and drag out the criminals!

"Ah—"

"Honestly, I’m not much of a fan of fighting."

Facing such a situation, Nicole dramatically sighed.

She then drew a pistol from her bosom and skillfully began inscribing runes on it.

Assuming a full combat stance, Nicole then gave the others a slight smile:

"Guess what."

"Will the people inside come out to trouble us, or do they wait for us to go in and catch them before they face reality?"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Then, Spencer, the investigator closest to the young girl, stepped forward, raising his metal wand:

"Let’s just go in, I’ll handle the ordinary people."

"I assure you, they won’t remember anything."

"Alright, you and I will take the lead."

Watching the investigator from Springs by her side, Nicole nodded decisively, then instructed the others:

"Nicholas... Patricia, you have the strongest swordsmanship, take charge of supporting the front and back of the team, dealing with emergencies;"

"Mr. Kate and Ronald, take care of the rear, watch out for sneak attacks;"

"Morten, constantly scout the surroundings, using the church’s Spells to prevent the demon from escaping."

Knowing time was of the essence.

Nicole gave a brief tactical overview and charged straight to the winery entrance.

She didn’t plan to knock or issue a warning.

The investigator girl lifted her foot and savagely kicked at the door.

Boom—

Instantly, a loud noise erupted from the hinges of the winery’s main door.

The latch on the door was fine.

But the connection between the door panel and the wall broke instantly!

The locked double doors, like twin brothers, crashed together into the grand hall of the winery.

In that instant—

Ronald realized something.

A week ago, when Nicole had broken the bureau’s door while moving her bed.

She must have used this body-strengthening Spell...

With such a loud noise coming from the winery door, Spencer naturally did not hesitate.

He charged forward, closely following Nicole’s steps into the interior.

Entering the grand hall, he took a cursory glance.

Spencer confirmed the situation.

At this point in time, there were only two ordinary guards standing in the winery’s hall, both looking stunned by Nicole’s actions.

"Ordinary people..."

He murmured under his breath.

But Spencer’s hands were merciless.

His gaze locked onto the two ordinary men, the investigator directly lifted his wand and remotely tapped twice in the air.

Buzz buzz—

An intangible vibration traveled down the metal staff, hurtling toward the two unsuspecting commoners.

The pair had been shocked by the door Nicole had violently destroyed before.

Facing Spencer’s spell, they were hit directly without any time to react.

Their vision went black, and they instantly collapsed unconscious.

After the sound of their bodies hitting the floor, Nicole looked around the lobby to make sure there were no other people before turning to the priest behind her and asking,

"Mr. Morten, can you locate that guy?"

The clergyman pointed to the left stairs without hesitation,

"He should be in a room on the second floor, he hasn’t run away yet."

"Got it."

After getting the answer from the priest, Nicole grabbed a handful of things from her pocket to keep safe and held a revolver in front of her with her right hand.

She then fiercely charged towards the stairs and ran to the second floor,

like an unstoppable rhinoceros.

Spencer, as well, followed silently behind her.

As the front line, the two investigators demonstrated unparalleled expertise and professionalism in their intrusion, truly living up to their titles as elite investigators.

Even though they didn’t get along, their coordination was remarkably synchronized.

What followed was clear.

Commoners who might come out to check what was happening were usually unaware, and Spencer would quickly take them down.

And since it wasn’t working hours at the winery, there were not many staff on duty.

After only knocking out seven people, the area in front of the winery fell into complete silence.

They reached the end of the second-floor hallway unhindered.

The priest, from a distance, pointed at a locked door on the right, saying,

"It’s inside there, I’m very certain."

"Alright."

Hearing the priest’s judgment, Nicole acknowledged and raised the revolver in her hand.

She aimed at the door in front of them, the investigator’s index finger gently pressed the trigger, crisply firing three times.

"..."

The gun, protected by a spell, made no sound when firing.

However, the outcome was somewhat unexpected.

With the bullets piercing through the door, the silence lingered.

After Nicole’s confident attack, there was no movement in the room, no sound emitted at all.

This can’t be possible...

She glanced at her companion, Nicole conveyed her cautious attitude through her eyes.

—The person inside was no simple target.

It was quite apparent.

Nicole had imbued the bullets with a spell, yet it had no effect.

The person inside surely awaited their entry, possibly even prepared traps to be sprung!

It was just such a look from Nicole.

The other investigator, without needing more explanation from his peers, waved his hand swiftly.

Then, Ronald saw a transparent film rise from the ground, instantly enclosing all six of them on the second floor.

—This was the investigators’ protective spell.

Almost concurrently as this protective spell was enacted, Patricia suddenly swung her longsword.

Swoosh—

The silver blade drew a metallic arc in the air, and the fragile door could not withstand an attack from Nicholas’s sword!

In an instant, the door shattered explosively.

Behind the door, a fierce green light burst from the room, rushing towards the six people!

At this moment, the protection set up by the investigators earlier took effect.

Even though the green light appeared swiftly and with great force,

it couldn’t penetrate the investigators’ defense, unable to trouble Ronald and the others.

The next second, Nicole, leading the charge, dashed into the room against the green light.

Then, the voice of the investigator rang out inside the room:

"This guy jumped through the window."

"Chase—!"
