At this moment, the differences between Siesta and R’lyeh were fully displayed before her eyes. As the young leader of the cult magicians, although she had established a cooperative relationship with the head of Entroad’s spies, their information was still not fully shared. Also due to the unique means of obtaining intelligence used by the cult magicians. The final result was that when she saw Sedir in Ronald’s room, Siesta had no idea of the other’s identity. She even watched the scene in front of her. The impression of Sedir in the mind of the cult maiden was still lingering on the train weeks ago, as well as in North Quik. Siesta quickly drew her own conclusion: "Ah, I understand now!" "When Ronald voluntarily let you go back then, it must have been you two on the train..." Before Siesta could finish her subjective and conjectural words, the room was suddenly enveloped in a green light. —This was a defensive spell. Its source was a small bracelet on Siesta’s wrist. After actual combat in Springs, this cult magician had gained concrete experience and naturally began to improve her equipment in practice. Upon arrival in Waterfall City, all modifications began to proceed in an orderly manner. For example, her current bracelet was actually a re-crafted, more concealed piece of defensive equipment, created by collecting materials anew, originally being the wrist guard from Springs. As for why the bracelet activated at this moment. The reason was simple. Because the moment Siesta appeared at the doorway, Sedir, as a leading figure of the resistance, immediately recognized this girl as the actual commander of the Entroad cult magicians. Sedir and Ronald’s states were completely different. As an organization actively operating in the surrounding regions, Sedir had a clearer and more profound understanding of Siesta and her current identity. This cult magician not only collaborated with the special agency of Entroad but also carried out extremely harsh attacks on all hostile forces, even neutral third parties. And faced with such a caster. From Sedir’s standpoint, there was no need to say more at this moment. Simply subduing Siesta directly was undoubtedly what she needed to do now! Thus, under the glow of the spell. The atmosphere in the room, which was peacefully discussing minutes ago, immediately turned quite tense. "Ronald, are you planning to join this guy together with them and then capture me and train me into your personal plaything!" At this moment, Siesta once again demonstrated her unique way of thinking. She looked at Sedir, standing beside Ronald, as well as the unfolding of her defensive equipment, and instantly understood the situation before her, then showed a forgiving attitude: "Actually, I wouldn’t be completely against such a thing." "But we should talk things over nicely; advancing so intensely right away is a bit too fast, isn’t it?" "After all, I’m also just a delicate girl..." Hearing this, Ronald raised an eyebrow. But before he could open his mouth to explain, Sedir, who had already put away the original text of "Capitalism," proactively interrupted Siesta: "Shut up, cult magician!" "Don’t try to shift the blame onto innocent people!" "Mr. Ronald and I are only discussing academically; we are completely different from you, whose mind is full of filthy thoughts!" Sedir’s forceful argument directly shattered Siesta’s understanding of the current situation. And at the moment when the cult magician began to reanalyze the situation. Because he was standing very close to Sedir, Ronald heard the young girl softly chanting a spell: "The social wealth dictated by the capitalist mode of production manifests as ’an immense accumulation of commodities,’ with individual commodities as its elemental form..." It was the original content of "Capitalism"! At this moment, Ronald’s pupils slightly contracted. Although he had also learned the spell from "Capitalism," he had yet to apply it in an actual battle. Sedir’s technique at this moment was undoubtedly the first time the power of "Capitalism" was demonstrated in front of him. Almost nothing changed in the real world. Just as the discourse of spell abilities mentioned, the ability system of value completely detached from the magic power system, was undetectable by direct perception. But at the same time, in a world that neither the naked eye nor the senses could detect. The value concept defined by the original text was steadily accumulating toward Sedir, from all around them. Whether Ronald, Siesta, Costate, or even Sedir herself, every living being in the room, through their very life activities, was providing the most fundamental strength to the caster of "Capitalism." Had he not also been a learner of the spells from "Capitalism," he wouldn’t have been able to realize the changes happening in the room. "Hmm? You’ve become a caster as well?" "No! What did you do?" At this moment, Siesta’s alertness, on the contrary, came forth. Although the cult magician could not detect the change in the concept of value, the fluctuations in magical power constructing the spell at the moment Sedir recited the incantation did not escape this keen cult magician. High-intensity combat had honed Siesta’s battlefield awareness. Thus, despite not knowing what Sedir’s capability exactly was, she immediately geared up to the highest level of vigilance, activating all her defensive spells and gear to respond to the ensuing changes. Unfortunately, Siesta’s precautions were entirely ineffective. The spells from "Capitalism" were completely different from the straightforward attacks she had faced before. Simultaneously standing on guard for defense, Sedir merely remained in place, calmly chanting the next incantation: "The circulation of commodities is the starting point of capital..." "What have you done to me!" Siesta suddenly cried out. However, Sedir standing opposite her had no intention of indulging the cult magician, merely maintaining her spell while keeping her gaze locked on the other. By now, Siesta’s expression bore traces of fear derived from surprise. A source she could not identify, defensive spells that she could not counter, and principles of operation she could not understand... Yet Siesta could perceive a fact with great clarity. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 —Her condition was declining at a rather stable speed. This wouldn’t directly rob her of combat capabilities. But an effect of unstoppable decay was enough to render Siesta quite aggrieved. A curse? A spoken spell? Or something inexplicable? In a crisis, Siesta’s response was swift. If she couldn’t figure out a way, then dealing with the opponent in front of her was the best solution! With a decision made, the magic fluctuations around Siesta suddenly surged! She targeted Sedir, who was still chanting her spell. And charged directly towards her!
