Chapter 1482: Chapter 1476: Witch’s Hammer

One piece of information after another was revealed by this doppelgänger.

The other party pointed out the hiding place of the holder of the Book of Interpretation, and repeatedly emphasized that he had strayed from understanding, and would definitely not oppose Ronald.

Ronald was wary of him.

But the emotional feedback from the Divine Comedy returned with precise information, confirming that this doppelgänger’s actions indeed had no intention to deceive.

Should one say this guy is sensible, or is it that as such a unique holder of the original classic, he’s just too timid?

"..."

"Lastly, wish you a smooth journey."

"I shall not disturb you any further."

Poof——

Just when Ronald was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The doppelgänger, having expressed his thoughts, bowed in a salute, and then directly dissipated into pure magic power before Ronald.

In just the blink of an eye.

The doppelgänger who was just playing a game of cat and mouse with Ronald disappeared completely within the canyon fortress.

Ronald looked at his surroundings that had regained their tranquility and shook his head helplessly.

This sudden farewell was also a display of attitude.

If this doppelgänger had continued to linger before him, Ronald would undoubtedly start inquiring about information regarding the Nine Commandments Association. Whether this guy answered or not would determine if he continued to offend Ronald or the Nine Commandments Association.

Suddenly leaving at this point.

He was clearly stating that he would assist neither side, preferring to remain uninvolved, prioritizing self-preservation.

For someone with such powerful doppelgänger spells, he was even more cautious and prudent than anyone else.

It’s uncertain if it was the spells that molded such a person.

Or perhaps such a person just happened to acquire the most suitable spells for himself.

"Heh..."

Laughing while shaking his head, Ronald turned and walked into the interior of the canyon fortress.

The holder of the Book of Interpretation now remained alone in this place, and according to the information provided by the doppelgänger, this was actually an unlucky individual controlled by the Nine Commandments Association, unable even to move freely.

Now, all that was left was to proceed step by step, and the outcome of this battle would naturally manifest.

...

With the battle now concluded, all became calm around.

Ronald, as he moved forward, took out the newly acquired Witch’s Hammer from his coat and began reciting its contents.

"Question 1: Is there an existence of witches in Catholic faith..."

The ownerless original text offered no resistance, and having been previously held by a demon did not cause any unexpected changes.

As Ronald recited its content, his brow furrowed involuntarily at the cruel words.

During a reading process that could be termed as self-torment.

The original spell from the Witch’s Hammer was opened to Ronald.

The abilities of this original text mainly spanned three stages; the first stage had two abilities related to demons and witch hunting. First, it summoned cunning demons, and second, it granted the caster the effects of tracking enemies and enhancing his lethal capabilities.

The second part consisted entirely of spells designed to enhance killing capability.

Fire, strong wind, lightning, freezing, bodily torture... a variety of means appeared here, along with the ability to craft magical tools.

At the same time, all of these spells possessed extremely high witch hunting characteristics, having a significant degree of restraint on wizards and magic power. If the target is a woman, the spell’s effectiveness would even double, further enhanced if not a virgin!

The third part was the final power of the Witch’s Hammer, being the Judgement Array that almost brought Ronald down.

This spell would confine the enemy within a trial.

Unless the afflicted could escape from it, no matter how they answered questions, they would ultimately lose their life under the ravages of the spell.

This judgement magic happened to also inherit extremely strong witch hunting attributes.

Casters falling into it would on the contrary enter a special attack state due to their own strength, and out of a hundred people, there may not even be one able to escape this move.

As for the Complete Technique...

The Complete Technique of the Witch’s Hammer was simple and crude.

It would comprehensively enhance the caster’s witch hunting attributes, making abilities that originally restrained the mysterious side even stronger, being the pinnacle threat against all wizards.

And only someone as exceptional as Ronald.

Could escape the peril in the face of such a strongly targeted original text attack.

"..."

"This is truly vile..."

Obtaining such a powerful combat-oriented original text, Ronald should have been pleased.

However, after fully understanding the capabilities of this original text, his expression turned extremely unpleasant, and he even explicitly complained aloud.

Besides a portion of original spells being usable upon acquisition.

The majority of spells in original texts actually came with various requirements, closely tied to the original text itself.

The Witch’s Hammer was precisely this type.

The unlocking of spells also followed a simple goal—killing.

The more casters killed, the more spells would be unlocked; if ordinary people were falsely accused as witches and killed within the spell, the effects would be stronger, possibly even enhancing the Witch’s Hammer’s spells to some degree!

"This original text must be sealed, preferably never to see the light of day again."

Ronald immediately made his decision.

He couldn’t possibly be so crazed for power to go to such an extent. As the current holder of the Witch’s Hammer, he also didn’t want to see this original text fall into anyone else’s hands.

——An offensive original text targeting the mysterious professionals.

Such a temptation, Ronald doubted many in the mysterious side could resist.

He even thought about destroying this original text on the spot!

But according to the secrets Ronald knew, there was a certain probability that an original text, once destroyed, would reappear in the world by itself.

So the best outcome for this original text would be to be sealed away forever!

...

Obtaining such an original text, Ronald felt distraught.

He trudged deeper into the canyon fortress, following the straightforward route provided by the doppelgänger, arriving effortlessly at the entrance of a room.

This was originally an airtight hidden chamber, special spells engraved in the materials completely blocking any external prying, making it the most secure place within the fortress.

Unfortunately, after two large-scale spell assaults.

The room’s structure had collapsed nearly two-thirds, completely losing the effect of concealing its aura.

Ronald stepped over a dirt mound, bypassing several enormous stones obstructing his path.

At the edge of the wall at the far end of the original hidden chamber, he saw a thin man sitting in the corner, so weak that he couldn’t even lift his head.

The man’s earlier experience could be described as perilous.

Several plants summoned by Nicole climbed along the walls to his side, almost engulfing the defenseless man.

But the sudden devouring flame incinerated the tree roots to ashes in the nick of time, leaving the greedy and savage plant roots charred, residing beside the caster as charcoal.

This was precisely to protect the holder of the Book of Interpretation.

Earlier, the enemy had proactively engaged to confront the eager outsider.

Ronald felt a touch of sentiment.

Then he approached, squatted in front of the man, gently patting his cheek:

"Hey, wake up, still conscious?"
