CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 594: SUPPRESSION

Catherine and the Wizard were having a conversation.

Ronald could only vaguely guess at some unreliable possibilities.

Moreover, he now had a more important goal in sight—leaving the "Infinite Negative Domain."

He turned back and took a deep look at Catherine.

Ronald then turned his head and jumped down into the Well of Judgment.

Due to Catherine’s interference with her Complete Technique, the pitch-black mountain interior lost even the faint light in the air, leaving only the glowing gas clouds at the target location, resembling a tunnel leading straight to Hell.

At that moment, Bapulor also jumped down behind Ronald.

The heretical Magician seemed to have no worries at this moment, with an expression that even showed anticipation of returning home.

"Ronald, following you was indeed the right choice."

"We can go back now!"

Hearing Bapulor’s voice, Ronald turned to look at him.

The carefree expression of the heretical Magician was consistent as always, offering nothing that Ronald wanted to pay attention to.

—However, higher up.

Through the circular tunnel of the Well of Judgment, Ronald caught a glimpse of the scene above.

In the starry sky that was dark yet still illuminated, Catherine overwhelmed her enemy with furious and powerful attacks. In just the few seconds since Ronald had jumped down, her swift and mighty offense had completely dominated the battle.

Undoubtedly, Catherine was on her way to victory.

However, with the battle so one-sided, the sky outside the stars—originally the sky of the "Infinite Negative Domain"—seemed to be pressing down unnoticed.

It was as if the entire world was about to plunge completely into darkness.

"This is..."

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Ronald’s mind.

However, his descending speed was too fast; he barely muttered a syllable when he himself crashed into the glowing gas clouds.

Swipe—

A distinct washing sensation.

Though the gas cloud looked like mist, entering it felt immediately like diving into a pool. Ronald’s long robe, worn on his body, also clung tightly to him in this environment.

Soon, the distance of descent far exceeded the diameter of the gas cloud, yet Ronald still felt completely enveloped by it.

At the same time, Ronald was counting time in his mind.

Initially, in the "Infinite Negative Domain," "Bradshaw’s Railway Guide" provided time jumps by tens, but as he continued to descend, the flow of time finally began to slow, drawing closer and closer to the normal passage of time.

The restoration of time coincided with—his own departure from this state.

Ronald concluded this in his mind.

And the flow of real time nearly synchronized to the normal speed of one second passing.

Snap—

With a clear sensation of detachment, Ronald’s vision brightened before his eyes.

Realizing that he had returned to normal time, the loyal power of ’Fury’ sent a warning.

Someone was watching him.

And with undisguised, intense murderous intent!

"Shut up!"

Ronald instantly sorted out his current situation and realized what he was facing.

The Edict of the "Authoritarian Angel" was almost instinctively shouted out.

This passage, carved out of Barrier Mountain as an exit point, naturally had wizards from Barrier Mountain guarding both ends.

Ronald had now directly intruded.

Obviously, he had alarmed the guardians at this end of the passage!

Things were exactly as Ronald had guessed.

Three official wizards of Barrier Mountain were stationed here at this moment, accompanied by a few elite apprentices. The most elite Great Wizard had followed the artificial deity to the main battlefield, while these men were tasked with monitoring the passageway.

For the Barrier Mountain residents, this place did not need to be heavily guarded.

It was as unlikely for an escaped prisoner to think about returning to the prison willingly.

The people remaining here.

Their role, at best, was to guide the subsequent Barrier Mountain wizards.

As for such an outcome... it was when Ronald spoke "Spirit," instantly interrupting an official wizard’s spell casting process. Under the strong suppression of the original holder, the backfire of the failed magic power even made it impossible for this man to stand straight, and his most important combat capability was immediately reduced by one-third.

At this moment, Ronald finally had time to observe the surroundings.

The place was surrounded by the sea on all sides, with the ground beneath his feet shattered, almost devoid of any normal foothold to bid farewell to civilization.

For Ronald.

It was both a foreign and familiar place.

—the island from the Typhoon event in Springs.

As the first place where he had encountered and repelled the artificial deity, Ronald was very familiar with it.

Unexpectedly, after all these events.

Barrier Mountain had still chosen this location for their arrival.

Clang—

With his thoughts well organized, Ronald’s movements were anything but slow.

Without hesitation, he pulled out the Sword of Saint Catherine from behind and took steps toward another one of the three official wizards.

Then... then Ronald almost tripped over.

—This was a frustrating reality.

Having left the "Infinite Negative Domain," the enhancement of various spells also diminished to different extents. Thus, when Ronald stepped forward with a sense of just getting used to, he indeed hadn’t adapted to this change immediately.

"Leave this one to me!"

Just then, Bapulor also passed through the gas cloud successfully and returned.

The eyes of the heretical magician swept around briefly, aimed at one of the remaining two official wizards, and lunged.

"Ah ah ah ah ah—"

Screams erupted instantly.

The experience in the "Infinite Negative Domain" seemed to have ignited a certain passion in Bapulor.

He pounced and ended the enemy with quite brutal methods.

In terms of the gruesomeness of the scene, it was not something ordinary people could endure.

Even the wizards of Barrier Mountain, upon seeing this, froze in place, motionless, almost losing their ability to act promptly.

"..."

Observing the scene unfolding before him, Ronald finally adjusted his current physical condition. He quickly strode towards the last official wizard, and the dark blade did not need to be covered by the power of the sun—the next moment, it cleaved towards the adversary.

Sizzle—

A mere official wizard of Barrier Mountain, how could he contend with enemies Ronald typically faced!

The enemy had no chance to react at all, passive defensive spells were also torn to shreds. Ronald defeated him outright with overwhelming speed, and that precise sword cleaved upon his body.

Buzz—

The next second, the spiritual suggestion of the Sword of Saint Catherine took effect.

All around, whether it was the panic-stricken wizard apprentices or the enemies trying to flee or attack, were governed by the powers of the saint’s legacy.

Ronald and Bapulor returned to the normal world.

In less than five seconds.

They had effortlessly taken down all the personnel remaining at Barrier Mountain!
