Chapter 330 - 329: Begging for Mercy?

Chapter 330: Chapter 329: Begging for Mercy?

Standing in the room, it seemed Lumiel had no escape.

Except for the solid wall behind her, every direction in front of her was filled with chunks of flooring violently flying towards her.

A normal person hit by such force wouldn’t even be able to utter a sound.

This guy.

The control over the original text was way too fast...

The thought unintentionally popped into her head, but Lumiel had no time for further analysis.

Pressed by the tense situation in front of her,

the girl immediately hugged her head and crouched down on the spot.

Pap pap pap—

Instantly, like raindrops falling on roof tiles.

The chunks of flooring, controlled by spells and flying at high speeds, continuously slammed down on Lumiel.

Pity...

it was ineffective.

Lumiel chose to stay put for a reason.

When the flooring actually hit her as she crouched, the pieces that should have left her bruised all over were instead like hitting cotton, losing all their momentum and falling to the floor.

And a second later, a soft white light flashed over Ronald’s body.

—The power of "Angel Guardian" activated.

While defending against Ronald’s attack, Lumiel even launched an attack on Ronald at the same time.

Faced with this situation, Ronald also briefly stopped his actions.

"..."

He had been controlling the black fog clinging to Lumiel.

But it seemed due to both spells originating from "Divine Comedy," the violent force he exercised and one of Lumiel’s spells neutralized each other, preventing him from killing the enemy outright.

So he thought rapidly.

Ronald tried to figure out the true effects of Lumiel’s spells and the most reasonable way to respond.

First, combining previous research and encounters, one thing was certain: Lumiel had mastered at least three spells.

Three spells from the original text of "Divine Comedy"!

This speed...

was abnormal for Lumiel.

This ’person’ of unknown origin wasn’t like Ronald, possessing knowledge from Earth as backup, nor did she have the advantage of forcefully deciphering the original text.

In such a case, mastering at least three original text spells.

already indirectly confirmed that Lumiel herself held a very strong hand, and had even far exceeded the natural ability limits of people in this world.

Fighting such an enemy.

required the utmost caution I had ever had.

"..."

While Ronald pondered quickly,

the Lumiel he treated with caution slowly stood up from the ground.

The girl nervously glanced at the thick layer of flooring fragments that had fallen to the ground and then took two steps back.

Only when her back touched the wall of the room did Lumiel raise her index finger towards Ronald and continue speaking earnestly:

"Ronald, can we stop for a moment?"

"Violence doesn’t solve everything. We should sit down and have a proper talk."

"..."

What she said...

made her sound like she was the villain...

Hearing Lumiel’s negotiation, Ronald felt incredibly bitter.

He had rushed here first to prevent Lumiel from harming innocent civilians, even working overnight. However, after actually clashing, this ’girl’ turned his stance around?

With a subtly complex expression, Ronald shook his-head in refusal:

"I have nothing to say to you."

"From Berengaria to Springs, after so many things have happened, do you think there’s still room for us to continue discussing?"

Hearing Ronald’s continued choice to fight, Lumielle anxiously broke in:

"Why can’t we just..."

"Ah!"

Before she could finish, Lumielle screamed and fell to the ground, then rolled over and ran to the other side of the room.

When she stood up again, her gaze at Ronald was already trembling.

"You... you actually ambushed me?"

"Is this what you call a powerful holder of the original canon!"

As Lumielle questioned, the culprit behind her current state appeared.

In the spot where she had just taken a defensive stance, two half-transparent ghosts floated up from the floor and walls, their vacant eyes filled with ferocity when attacking.

—This was what Ronald had been secretly doing.

Ever since gaining the power of "Rape", Ronald had collected quite a few souls of his enemies during his numerous battles. Although he didn’t usually use them often, he wouldn’t be stingy with his attacks at times like these.

Unfortunately, Ronald’s mood wasn’t much better.

His covert actions hadn’t produced the effect he had hoped.

The fact that the girl in front of him had immediately fallen to the ground and then changed positions was proof of this.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly fixed on the girl.

Through a series of relentless attack tests, Ronald had confirmed the girl’s current abilities.

Whether it was physical attacks or other spells.

Any threat aimed at Lumielle, the moment it reached her body, would be weakened by a spell, reducing the damage inflicted on her.

The floor had not been effective in that way.

Now, the assault launched by the ghosts was also the same.

Click—

Just at that moment, Lumielle, hiding at the side of the room, stumbled, and her whole body weakly tilted, nearly falling over completely.

Barely maintaining her balance.

This ’girl’ looked at Ronald with a pale face and then continued to speak:

"Ronald, I can swear I have no ill will towards you."

"And if you wish, even enforcing a spell-powered contract to submit to you wouldn’t be a problem."

"Please, stop this!"

"..."

—This was an abnormal response.

Although the girl appeared very frail,

Ronald knew clearly that this was definitely not her true intention.

Someone who chooses to stop fighting and begs for mercy from the enemy would normally show a submissive attitude under the inertia of their thoughts and leave their safety entirely in the control of the enemy.

But Lumielle was not like that.

In the face of Ronald, she took up a defensive stance more than anything else, with all actions prioritizing resistance to attack.

There were pleas for mercy, but no real action.

Instead of true submission, it seemed more like a tactic to buy time and lull the enemy.

So what exactly was her purpose?

Staying on guard, Ronald silently released more ghosts throughout the house from within the power of "Rape".

Whether on the first floor, second floor, or third floor.

Invisible spirits drifted in every room and within the walls, always alert on his behalf.

Despite this measure.

It still did not help Ronald to discern Lumielle’s real objective.

Prompted by a rapid shift in thought, Ronald tried to probe:

"Your purpose for stalling doesn’t seem to be casting some dangerous Spell, is it?"
