Chapter 672: Chapter 269: Make Your Own Decision (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

“Evil Power Imprisonment!”

Suddenly, a dense black fog surged from Galina’s fingertips, violently striking at Rein!

This was Galina’s life-saving evil magic, her last resort.

Rein dug his heels in, leaping forward on his horse, while the hardened essence gold covering the surface of the Knight’s gauntlets instantly formed a shield to block the attack.

However, in the next second, the shield in Rein’s hand felt as if it had hit real mist.

The black fog was indeed in the form of fog and didn’t explode upon contact, but as soon as it touched the shield, Rein felt as though his entire body had solidified inside amber.

Even with his Huge Strength pushing past his limits, his movement was scarcely faster than that of a snail.

Galina, who turned to check the situation, finally let out a breath of relief upon seeing Rein affected by the spell, visibly relaxed!

After thinking it over, she still didn’t feel secure; after all, the “Evil Power Imprisonment” could only last around ten seconds. To ensure her escape, she planned to cast a Group Slow Spell on Rein and his horse and dog!

But before she could begin chanting, Galina’s eyes, dark with smokey makeup, suddenly widened!

For she saw a faint blue light flash on Rein’s body, and the effects of the “Evil Power Imprisonment” she had cast were instantly dispelled.

Now unimpeded, Rein’s movement speed suddenly surged!

The rapid change in speed left Galina, who was so close, no time to dodge, and she could only instinctively raise her arm to block.

With a ‘bang’!

The black membrane on Galina’s body was indented to almost the size of a basin, missing her forehead by mere inches from the Skull Warhammer’s head!

But…

In an instant!

Rein switched from hammer to fist!

This time, the black membrane, drained of most of its energy by the Advanced Secret Skill “Decisive Hammer,” couldn’t withstand the blow from Rein’s Finger Tiger!

“Pop!”

After penetrating the black membrane, Rein’s Finger Tiger continued to surge forward, striking Galina’s raised arm!

“Blocked it?”

Gazing at the blade that had pierced through her arm and was now a mere centimeter from her forehead, Galina’s pupils contracted sharply.

But in the next instant, the blade suddenly lengthened!

“Pff!”

Four blades made of hardened essence gold suddenly extended by several inches, piercing into Galina’s smooth forehead!

Galina’s eyes suddenly bulged, and after a violent convulsion, she moved no more.

It was only then that Rein withdrew his Finger Tiger.

“Thump!”

A sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed.

Galina collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

Rein had relied on the gold Conch Medal given to him by the Church of the Monsoon and Sea Goddess, using the Divine Arts “Exorcism Spell” embedded within it to instantly break free from the imprisonment.

At such close range, Rein finally delivered the Decisive Hammer, finishing off his opponent!

Rein took out the medal engraved with a golden sea conch from his chest, its faint blue light now much dimmer.

“I remember Bishop Shion saying that this medal contained a ‘Exorcism Spell’ Divine Arts, although it would need to be recharged after use before it could be used again,” he mused.

“It seems I’ll need to seek Bishop Shion’s help to recharge it once I’m in Meister,” Rein thought to himself.

“Against the Cult, the Church’s medals are indeed quite useful,” Rein pondered quietly.

After a moment’s thought, Rein looked down at the corpse on the ground.

“Considering what her subordinates called her, she seems to be a high priestess?”

“I’m currently in the county of Welsh, which suggests that this female high priestess is likely the head of the Welsh county’s Black Flame Cult?”

“If that’s the case, perhaps there’s a bounty for her at the Sword Bearers Branch in Mingster.”

With a look of contemplation, Rein quickly thought of something.

He grabbed Galina’s neck like one would a dead snake, leapt onto his swift-footed steed ‘En,’ and headed back toward the temporary camp.

…

With the assistance of ‘En,’ the swift-footed steed, when Rein returned with Galina’s body, there were still many of the Black Flame Cult’s die-hard members resisting.

“Eh?”

“This seems to be some kind of secret technique of Arcadian Swordsmanship?”

To Rein’s surprise, Cleya was wielding a Dual-Handed Greatsword, occasionally spinning 360 degrees at high speed, sending circular blades of light flashing past and slaying a large group of gray-robed Cultists.

Cleya was charging in his direction, seemingly planning to provide him support.

Rein, upon seeing Cleya, quickly noticed her as well and saw her coming his way.

Upon seeing that Rein was unharmed, Cleya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, ever since Rein came to her rescue and killed ‘Bidaels’ with a single punch to save her, Cleya’s mindset had started to subtly shift.

Prior to that, whether Rein was slaying ‘Ice Messenger’ Grant or breaking through the enemy’s ‘Evil Magic Formation,’ he had showcased individual strength.

But a rescue carried a very different meaning, conveying not just strength but a sense of care, trustworthiness, and it affected the rescuer’s heart more deeply.

This had caused Cleya, the talented Knight girl, to have a deep impression of a man for the first time.

Only, at this moment, Cleya herself was not fully aware of it.

When Rein appeared in front of everyone, all the combatants on the battlefield gradually stopped their actions.
