Chapter 386 – 197: Monsters in the Dream (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

“However, once you enter that black region, you need to be careful,”

“From time to time, monsters with strength comparable to that of official knights will emerge, and the deeper you go, the stronger the monsters become,” Naya said with a serious expression.

Rein nodded in understanding.

Soon, they landed slowly at the boundary between the green and black areas, by which time Naya was already drenched in sweat.

“I can’t fly in the black region, so from here, we’ll head in that direction,” Naya said, pointing toward a black mountain ahead.

“Alright, Miss Naya, you rest for a bit, and I will lead the way,”

Rein thought for a moment, took down his two-handed warhammer, and started walking forward.

The trees and flowers in the black region seemed as if they were painted with black lacquer, similar in shape to those in the green area, but with dark, ink-like colors on their surfaces. They also emitted a faint black mist, obscuring the view of the distance.

Suddenly, a level 3 danger perception alerted Rein that some creature was lurking ahead.

But Rein’s steps did not waver, because such a warning indicated that the monster’s strength was not formidable, posing little threat to him.

“Swoosh!”

A leopard with black tumors of various sizes on its body suddenly sprang out, biting at Rein.

Naya immediately shouted, “Be careful!”

“Bang!”

Rein effortlessly swung his warhammer with incredible speed!

The shadow of the hammer passed, and in an instant, the black leopard was torn apart, its black liquid splattering around, corroding the nearby plants with a sizzling sound!

“Lord Reine, your strength is truly formidable,” Naya hadn’t expected that a monster which would have given her trouble was killed by Rein with a single hammer blow.

“Miss Naya, are there many monsters of this strength?” Rein’s eyes twinkled, seemingly harboring certain thoughts.

“Of course, along the way, there are such monsters, but their strength will continue to grow stronger!” Naya nodded and said.

However, the next second, she looked surprised.

Because Rein had actually stowed away his black two-handed warhammer on his back and chose to move ahead unarmed.

This scene instantly confused Naya a bit, as she didn’t understand what Rein was thinking.

Even if the monsters are no match for you, you wouldn’t confront them empty-handed, right?

She just wanted to give a reminder, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn’t speak.

Naya recalled her own explanation, which she had given quite clearly.

Given that, the “Baron of the Warhammer” must have his own considerations.

However, Naya’s confusion didn’t last long, as soon the next oncoming monster helped her solve the puzzle.

“Swoosh!”

“Bang! Snap!”

Rein quickly stepped forward, throwing a punch that hit the abdomen of an oncoming baboon covered in black tumors, folding it in half.

Then came a left swing fist, shattering the creature’s head.

The headless baboon’s body twitched on the ground for a moment before lying still.

Naya’s eyes widened in surprise!

It was martial arts?

The “Baron of the Warhammer” was also skilled in martial arts?

A noble practicing martial arts was incredibly rare!

Rein, on the other hand, shook off his hands. Having “Iron Skin lvl 3,” the slight corrosion from the black liquid caused him no harm.

At that moment, he glanced at the system prompt, a hint of joy in his heart:

[Your skill Tokadar Fist Technique has improved, experience +27]

[You have gone through a battle, Knight (Transcendent) experience +14]

…

Although the experience rewards were not substantial, he had not expected to be able to grind skill experience for his newly learned “Kadar Martial Arts” in the dream.

Although the Knight (Transcendent) profession experience was minimal, it did not matter to Rein, who was eager to quickly increase his martial arts experience to level 5, and possibly even level 6.

Thus, after stopping Naya from trying to help several times, Rein alone dealt with nearly ten waves of monster attacks.

From one at the beginning to later two and three, Rein dealt with them all by himself.

This made Naya somewhat unable to understand exactly what Rein had in mind.

Gentlemanly conduct?

So, he didn’t need my help as a female and resolved everything by himself?

Or is it that Lord Reine has a fondness for me, and therefore…

After clearing the twelfth wave of monsters, Rein successfully advanced his Kadar Martial Arts from level 3 to level 4.

At the same time, he and Naya had reached the foot of the mountain, where a large cave entrance was now before Rein’s eyes.

“Lord Reine, the monster is there. As long as you defeat it, I can control the node and gain dominion over this dream, restoring it to its original state,” Naya said, her expression serious as she fluttered her wings, pointing to the cave ahead.

As Naya’s voice faded, heavy footsteps came from the cave.

Rein’s expression became serious; he could sense the formidable aura of the monster inside. Clearly, it possessed the strength of a Great Knight.

Moreover, it wasn’t just at the threshold of Great Knight status as Naya had suggested.

The monster’s oppressive force clearly surpassed what Norman had made him feel.

Seconds later, a gigantic creature walked out, quadrupedal with an additional pair of arms holding a steel trident. Standing at least four meters tall, it was covered in green scales, resembling a huge green-scaled lizard walking upright.

“Ah ha, little harpy, you’ve come again?”

“Oh, and this time you’ve brought along an assistant.”
