Chapter 698: Chapter 275: Wizard Rein (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

Although this move could block the incoming four-cornered throwing stars, the consequence of doing so was quite clear.

It immediately exposed his location.

Even in the shadowed area, the snake-like black currents were very conspicuous.

Just as Holdan blocked the four-cornered throwing stars, in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

From within the billowing dust, a robust figure burst out!

Rein’s two-handed warhammer, which had already transformed into a shield with sharp, protruding spikes, charged at him like a frenzied bull.

“Pfft!”

The attack was too sudden!

The force of Rein’s spike-embellished charge instantly penetrated the black currents, and Holdan, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying over ten meters.

Although he twisted his body at the crucial moment to avoid a fatal blow to the heart, his chest was still pierced by the sharp spike, creating a fist-sized bloody hole, and his speed was greatly reduced immediately.

Just as Holdan was about to contract his muscles to control the bleeding, Rein had already closed in quickly.

At this moment, his spike shield had morphed back into a dual-handed greatsword, swinging down directly at Holdan’s head.

Holdan was instantly struck with terror and hastily retreated, his right hand unconsciously guarding his forehead. But the next second, he felt his body lighten unexpectedly.

He saw his robust, scale-covered right arm, sliced off by Rein’s suddenly elongated greatsword in a single strike!

The smooth cut of the limb was now spurting blood violently!

With the loss of his right arm, Holdan’s body balance was destroyed, and his movement speed was further reduced.

“Swoosh, swoosh!”

Rein stepped past him with an agile move and swung two more swords, followed by dark flashes of blade light!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed.

“Thunk!”

Holdan lay on the ground, both of his hands and his right leg severed by Rein, the intense pain causing involuntary convulsions, but it was unclear if the failure and injury had greatly destabilized his mind.

At that moment, Holdan laughed maniacally, practically shrieking, “Heh heh, do you think you’ve won? You’re all dead meat!”

“Great Priest Ganon will avenge me!”

What no one noticed was a tiny shadow snake, quickly slipping from his trouser leg into the adjacent shadows, disappearing in an instant.

“Delusional!”

Rein punched him squarely in the forehead, knocking Holdan out cold right away.

When Langgeler, Flay, and Alexandra arrived, they each drew in a sharp breath!

“Hiss~”

They saw Rein holding Holdan’s head, as if dragging a dead snake, walking out of the forest with its mottled tree shadows.

The cool moonlight shone on Rein’s sweat-dotted bronze skin, casting a chilling, heart-palpitating coldness.

The group was momentarily spellbound before approaching with a mix of greetings and concern.

Alexandra eagerly supported one side of Rein’s body, her ample chest occasionally brushing against Rein’s sturdy arm.

A fair hand, however, was gently stroking over Rein’s robust form, asking nonstop, “Lord Rein, are you hurt? Let me check.”

As Alexandra had just taken a bath, her hair was still damp, and she exuded the scent of a mature woman, which caused a warmth to rise in Rein’s lower belly.

Furthermore, it seemed her wandering hand was moving ever lower!

Facing Alexandra’s enthusiasm, Rein’s cheeks reddened slightly, and he quickly caught her hand that continued to slide further down, saying, “Ahem… Alexandra, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“That’s good to hear!” Alexandra smiled sweetly.

“Lord Rein, this man is Holdan, the Great Priest of the Secret Snake Sect that I told you about at today’s meeting. I didn’t expect they would arrive so quickly and even launch an attack on you,” Langgeler explained.

“So, he’s the Great Priest of the Secret Snake Sect,” Rein nodded.

No wonder!

His methods were mysterious, mixing combat skills, dark magic, and snake minions.

This was the first time Rein had encountered such tactics, and he had narrowly avoided a major loss.

“It’s fortunate Lord Rein is so formidable. Otherwise, even a Peak Knight would have been gravely injured or killed by this man’s surprise attack,” Langgeler commented.

“Viscount Rein, captain, we should head back first,” Alex suggested with a smile.

“Yes, yes! Too many people here, let’s go,” Langgeler laughed as he spoke.

Rein glanced curiously at Alex, noticing the pale green currents around his leg, and thought to himself that he hadn’t expected the other to be a rare third-level wind-elemental Wizard Apprentice.

…

At Earl Habbs’ Mansion.

When the inside man saw Rein dragging Holdan, as if he were dragging a dead snake, along with Langgeler, Flay, and the others, walking through the mansion’s ruined gate, he trembled slightly.

“Damn it! I told you, a group of experts had come,” he muttered.

“You didn’t even listen to me before leaving!”

“You had it coming!”

Then, seizing the moment of slight chaos within the mansion, the inside man elaborated on the situation in his report, especially emphasizing the part where this noble had completely disregarded the information he provided, and swiftly sent the news out.

Meanwhile.

Deep within Elim Mine.

Raksul was having a relaxed and pleasant chat with Great Priest Ganon of the Secret Snake Sect.

Due to Holdan’s efficient action, Raksul was very impressed with the Secret Snake Sect and became naturally more courteous in his conversation.
