Ti was pressing.
The three disguised companions walked across the deserted land.
At this mont, only the night sky and the twisted stars kept them company.
Although subjectively not much had happened, since Ronald and Bapulor entered the "Infinite Negative Realm," they had spent a total of four days.
In other words, more than a month had passed in the outside world.
It was now mid-October.
And in one month, in November, or three days later in the "Infinite Negative Realm," it would already be the ti for Harvest Day.
As for Ronald and his companions.
Even more daunting matters awaited them.
Reality was not a ga like a hero challenging a demon king with world maps hiding treasures that could ensure victory and give them clear targets.
The three n, ard only with Spell in their hands.
That was all they could rely on.
But the enemy they faced was a powerful force integrated with a multitude of seminal holders and even a manufactured deity.
This situation could generally be sumd up in one word.
—There was cause for concern.
Probably also feeling the urgency of ti and the situation.
As the three hastened on their way, Bapulor uncharacteristically expressed his emotions to Caterina:
"I say, the strongest one."
"Can we really sneak into Barrier Mountain dressed like this?"
Seeing Bapulor doubting his own assertion, Caterina didn’t hesitate to retort:
"What’s wrong, you scared?"
Bapulor nodded honestly in response:
"Very scared, super scared!"
"I’ve got an unmarried daughter to support. If I can’t make it back, who knows what trouble she might cause, and then what would happen to public order?"
The heretical Magician ’sincerely’ expressed himself.
Caterina, completely immune to these emotions, then ambiguously added:
"Don’t tell your daughter has the sa personality as you?"
Bapulor shyly nodded:
"Not to deceive you, the neighbors all say she takes after her dad."
"..."
"When you get back, rember to tell your neighbors for —’You really have it tough!’"
"With the honor of Bapulor, I will definitely pass on the ssage!"
"..."
Strong-willed Caterina and the not quite sane Bapulor clashing together resulted in such dialogues occurring now and then between them. Fortunately, they were both aware of their situation, so they didn’t end up casting spells against each other in the wilderness.
Hearing such a conversation.
Ronald, walking at the front of the group, couldn’t help but sigh.
"Ah..."
Because of the ’Fury’ power’s exaggerated range of searching for enemies, Ronald now bore the critical task of leading the way and scouting for enemy movents. Although they were hundreds of kiloters from Barrier Mountain, he could still roughly lock onto the situation there.
This morning, after being ’rescued’ by Bapulor.
The battle at Barrier Mountain had completely fallen under the control of the manufactured deity.
Just past noon, the opposition’s Great Wizard had been completely annihilated, and the stronger ordinary wizards were imdiately executed; the neutral Great Wizard had either escaped or died, and the ordinary wizards quickly switched sides like weather vanes.
At that mont, ti was equally pressing for Barrier Mountain.
As a leader, the man-made deity chose a high-pressure policy to reorganize the situation, distributing the captured original texts to ritorious individuals as rewards. Now the stronger wizards among them generally harbored ambitious intentions of aggression.
Then, sothing that Ronald should pay attention to happened.
In the middle of the night, six wizards were summoned to the summit to the council that was under reconstruction, and their emotions changed imdiately.
"..."
Ronald thought for a few seconds, then decisively turned to look at Katrina:
"Katrina, your earlier speculation was that we would encounter two groups of pursuers, is that correct?"
"Do you feel soone chasing after us?" Katrina imdiately disengaged from her provocation with Bapulor, understanding the situation from Ronald’s expression in just an instant.
"Two groups, the first batch will probably arrive with six people, mainly responsible for pinpointing our location and delaying our speed, while also tasked with gauging our combat ability;"
"As for the second batch... they will be a pure Great Wizard group, with only one goal—to stop any action that could lead to the failure of Barrier Mountain’s plan."
Ronald nodded, then stated the current situation:
"A very accurate prediction, we need to deal with these first six people now."
Katrina imdiately suggested:
"Either we take them out in an instant, or we find a way to prevent this group from sending back any ssages, ensuring that we do not expose our current combat strength is the optimal solution."
Ronald nodded in agreent imdiately.
Then he quickly realized the key hidden in Katrina’s words.
—Do not expose our current combat strength.
Even though they had truly engaged in battle at Barrier Mountain just in the morning, now they were talking about hiding their combat strength...
"You two, didn’t go all out on the mountain this morning?"
"..."
As soon as Ronald spoke, the team fell into a brief silence.
"Ronald, it’s not that I didn’t want to exert myself!" Bapulor took the lead in explaining, "This morning, the enhanced Complete Technique made disoriented, and many of my abilities couldn’t be used at all."
Katrina’s response was even simpler; she just scoffed.
"Hmph—"
"I’m not like you dealing with that Fake God. With just a few Great Wizards obsessed with revenge, why would I need to be serious?"
Ronald was choked by their words.
He struggled for a long ti before squeezing out a sentence:
"You two... really have your ways..."
"So these six people, I’ll handle them, and you two continue to hide your strength?"
Seeing Ronald’s expression, Bapulor’s emotional intelligence unusually ca online.
He stepped closer to Ronald first, saying with a pleasing look:
"I’ll do it, just let handle this!"
"Think of it as adapting to new spells, no need for you to take action."
As his words fell, Bapulor straightforwardly stepped forward.
All three of them were well aware of Barrier Mountain’s location, so he didn’t need any directional guidance.
He held his hands in front of his eyes, then brought them together in a shape resembling a hand seal, and between his hands, a gap perfectly resembling an eye appeared.
Through this strange gap,
Bapulor looked out into the distant sky with his right eye, while his body’s Magic Power activated rapidly, and he also began to mutter softly:
"One, two, three..."
"Six, all here!"
