Chapter 868: Chapter 318: Death of the High Priest (Double-Length Chapter)

”Clang!!!”

Rein’s hardened essence gold warhammer clashed heavily with the six-armed Naga’s pair of short swords.

This time, Rein was thrown back several meters by the impact, while Celinis, although not forced back, leaned her entire upper body far back, her snake tail cracking the ground upon contact.

It was evident that she transmitted the impact force into the ground.

”Huff~ Huff~”

Rein panted heavily, with white steam rising from his entire body!

The continuous deployment of secret techniques earlier had consumed a great deal of his stamina, yet his eyes became even more radiant!

In the previous battles, Rein had leveled up twice.

That is to say, Rein effectively recovered twice his stamina, allowing him to battle the six-armed Naga for so long.

The opponent’s six arms could all partake in attacks, putting an unprecedented amount of technical pressure on Rein.

He had to manipulate the ’Metal Barrier’ witchcraft’s three shields to fend off attacks the warhammer could not block, while also executing secret techniques.

Yet, even so, it was the first time Rein encountered such an evenly matched opponent.

At this moment, Rein felt a faint ember in his heart flicker, making his blood boil!

Unlike the ancient hero Mong and the possessed Great Priest of the Black Flame Cult Exeter, both of whom later relied on strength matches, the current opponent’s sheer strength was not enormous, merely slightly stronger than Rein.

When Rein activated the huge strength and Dragon Bloodline, they were almost evenly matched, relying solely on various melee techniques.

This was simply an ideal sparring partner for Rein!

In contrast, Celinis looked utterly exhausted at this moment, her central pair of arms holding the short swords trembling slightly.

Evidently, the recent battle had also nearly drained her stamina.

Yet, despite using all her methods, she still couldn’t defeat the opponent, which made the already irrational Celinis extremely furious!

”Damn it!”

She started waving the arm holding the short stick, murmuring something under her breath.

In fact, if it weren’t for her injured soul, the ’Whirlpool of Water’ she was about to cast would almost be instant.

But now, she had to chant to execute it.

”Roar!”

Rein immediately performed a ’Dragon Roar,’ interrupting Celinis’s spellcasting and causing her to pause for a moment. Suddenly, Rein appeared with two afterimages, and his real body attacked from the side.

The two immediately engaged in fierce close combat again!

With a sharp scream from Celinis, more than twenty male Blood Curse Nagas, blocked at the Sealing Gate’s entrance by Angus and others, suddenly went berserk, eyes bloodshot, recklessly rushing inside.

This caused Angus and the others to retreat in continuous steps!

This retreat opened up the best and narrowest entryway terrain, making it impossible to block the entry of Blood Curse Naga!

Angus and others were shocked, and Neoro immediately shouted to Rein:

”Captain, we can’t hold it! Watch out for the Blood Curse Nagas charging in!”

At the reminder, Rein glanced with the corner of his eye and saw more than a dozen injured male Blood Curse Nagas charging toward him, which ironically brought him delight.

To avoid unnecessary prolonged battle, Rein had long intended to quickly kill the six-armed Naga before him, instead of dragging it out.

He hadn’t expected soul energy to be delivered to his door!

Rein fully performed the Shadow Step, appearing instantly by the five Blood Curse Nagas who had just charged, with five different hammer-wielding figures appearing almost simultaneously.

”Bang! Bang!...”

After five consecutive whip-crack-like hammer strikes, four of the shadows instantly vanished, leaving only Rein’s true form, maintaining the stance of wielding the hammer with both hands and striking heavily down.

The heads of the five Blood Curse Nagas exploded simultaneously, collapsing to the ground!

Repeating this once again.

Nine transparent shadows of Blood Curse Nagas, dragging long trails of tail flames, circled around Rein several times before being absorbed into the warhammer in Rein’s hand.

”Dead Soul system magic!” Celinis squinted, feeling a shock in her heart.

The next second!

Rein raised his warhammer high, rushing swiftly toward Celinis, delivering an all-out blow toward her!

”Clang!!!”

Blocked!

But before Celinis could feel any joy, she immediately clutched her head and screamed again!

”Ah!!!”

Though she could block the ’Annihilating Hammer,’ she couldn’t defend against the ’Soul Shatter Strike’!

This ’Soul Shatter Strike’ inflicted even more damage on Celinis’s already wounded soul.

If it weren’t for her high legendary soul strength, this strike might have already killed her.

But at this moment, she, resembling a mad person, screamed in agony, her six arms wildly thrashing!

This made it unsuitable for Rein to confront her head-on.

However, a flash of insight crossed Rein’s mind in an instant.

His two-handed warhammer quickly transformed into a riding spear over three meters long, leveraging agile footwork to launch distant attacks.

Although the power of the riding spear lagged behind other secret technique weapons and couldn’t compare to the top-level secret technique of hammer skills, it excelled in relative safety!

This resembled controlling a criminal with an anti-riot fork in his previous life, maintaining distance to ensure personal safety, and then continuously attacking.

Rein controlled the distance and commenced a series of stabbing attacks!
