Chapter 830: Chapter 308 Transformation (Two-in-One Chapter)_3

“Pop!!”

The sound of a clean skull cracking rang out!

The blackened hardened essence gold warhammer struck the opponent’s forehead.

A large clump of a white jelly-like substance, mixed with red liquid, sprayed out from the back of Exeter’s head, forming a large fan-shaped splatter on the ground.

No matter how hard the opponent’s skull was, it couldn’t withstand the attack of the top secret technique ‘Annihilating Hammer’.

Instead, due to its hardness, it caused the sound to be exceptionally crisp!

The entire hall could hear it clearly.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Rein still maintained his posture of holding the hammer with both hands, swinging downwards, his breath slightly hurried, seemingly not yet completely detached from the intense focus state of combat just now.

And with Exeter’s death, a peculiar aura began to diffuse around his bloated corpse.

This aura was filled with a vast, grand, and majestic feeling, and Rein also vaguely felt it was somewhat familiar.

It seemed to be the aura from that high-level projection he had just annihilated with the ‘Soul Shatter Strike’…..

“Could it be that I can gain talent points again this time?”

This familiar scene made Rein’s heart stir.

At this moment, the system notification confirmed Rein’s speculation:

[Ding! Detected unknown high-quality absorbable energy, absorb? Yes/No]

(Note: This high-quality energy can be directly converted into talent points upon absorption.)

Indeed!

Seeing the system prompt, Rein was instantly delighted!

Ever since killing the ascending stage Black Flame Cult Chief Priest and the ancient hero Mong last time, Rein encountered situations where talent points could be converted.

Regarding this, Rein also made a simple summary afterward.

It seems that only enemies related to divine beings might have the chance to yield talent points.

And this was the third time.

At present, this judgment should be accurate.

Moreover, what made Rein even happier was that the aura in front of him was even denser than the previous two times.

Naturally, Rein immediately chose ‘Yes!’

Instantly, the originally dissipating strange aura merged like streams into a river and was completely absorbed by Rein’s body!

System prompt sounded again:

[Ding! A total of four talent points converted.]

[Please choose to enhance the talent ‘Elementary Weapon Mastery (passive)’, ‘Elementary Extraordinary Understanding (passive)’, ‘Intermediate Huge Strength (active)’, or ‘Advanced Steel Body (passive)’.]

Nice!

There were four full talent points.

Seeing the system prompt, the smile on Rein’s face became even brighter.

This meant that even high-level talents could be enhanced this time, although he still needed to carefully consider which talent or talents to improve.

And now, naturally, was not the time to consider talent points.

…

Admiral Edward was shocked as he watched the scene before him.

Although he had already learned from a series of mission completion reports that Rein’s strength was far superior to what he demonstrated during the Swordsman assessment.

But exactly how strong?

The reports on paper were nowhere as shocking as witnessing it firsthand!

Though Exeter was heavily injured from the joint attack of the three at the beginning, once that high-level existence’s projection possessed him, his injuries instantaneously recovered.

Yet Rein was able to directly hammer that projection back to the other dimension.

This was something even the top secret technique couldn’t achieve!

This left Admiral Edward somewhat puzzled, but he did not plan to inquire.

With his rich life experience, he knew well that everyone has their secrets.

As long as Rein was on the side of the Empire, that was enough.

If Rein could fulfill his duties as an Imperial Swordsman well, then he would staunchly support him!

On the side, the Duke of Mingster was incredibly shocked!

Unlike Admiral Edward.

This was his first time seeing Rein fight.

At this moment, usually composed, he was wide-eyed and slightly agape as he watched the scene unfold.

After a while, he began to glance between his old friend Admiral Edward and Rein repeatedly.

Soon, he walked up to Admiral Edward and said: “Old friend, I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card hidden.”

“You see, isn’t it time to consider bringing Rein over to the administrative hall here…”

“Stop, Ferrela (the Duke of Mingster’s real name), don’t even think about it.” Admiral Edward’s demeanor turned stern, waving his hand and swiftly interrupting the Duke of Mingster, refusing decisively.

Mentally, he silently mused, ‘I’m not even daring to raise his Swordsman level to Magic Iron Level, fearing it would directly lead to his recruitment by the Imperial City there, and here you are, trying to poach him away!’

To prevent Ferrela from speaking further on the matter, Admiral Edward swiftly changed the topic:

“This time, the loss for Mingster is probably significant!”

Hearing this, indeed, the Duke of Mingster, originally about to speak, was immediately reminded of something. Glancing around, he nodded with a somber expression and said:

“It’s not just significant, it’s enormous!”

“However, this time the Goddess Church suffered even more than the Empire. It’s a pity about Mugul the ascetic, didn’t even leave any remains.” The Duke of Mingster sighed.

“Alas! We had anticipated an attack and set up an ambush, but we didn’t expect them to gain attention from that sort of existence.” Admiral Edward nodded, agreeing.
