Chapter 897: Chapter 325: Mistaken Target (Two-in-One Long Chapter)_2

“Stop guessing, let’s go over and take a look.” Neoro’s face grew serious as he spoke.

Everyone couldn’t help but show a worried expression as they hastily rode towards the Earl Habs Mansion.

But as soon as they reached the main entrance, everyone’s faces turned to shock, their eyes widened, and they were stunned!

Because at that moment, through the open gates, they could clearly see in the front garden of the mansion a colossal figure that appeared to have been dismembered!

The source of that intense stench earlier was right here.

A large amount of dark red blood had already mingled with the garden soil, and guards were busy cleaning and filling the holes.

Although the head of the Legendary Earth Snake had been severed, its long serpent body was still identifiable, appearing as a giant snake.

“This… this is a Legendary Earth Snake!”

“It’s already been killed?”

“Who is strong enough to do this?” exclaimed Remiel from the Rock Team, who had come to assist.

“Who else could it be, it’s likely Captain Rein,” Neoro said after recovering from his shock, patting Remiel on the shoulder with a smile.

Seeing the scene before him, he felt reassured.

“Indeed… Lord Rein’s strength defies common sense,” Remiel paused, then nodded in agreement.

Remiel had wanted to retort but recalled that Rein had already defeated the Blood Curse Naga High Priest, so defeating a Legendary Earth Snake this time seemed reasonable.

“But… could Rein be injured?” Anna suddenly voiced a concern in a whisper.

“Well…” Everyone exchanged glances, realizing that it was difficult to provide a good answer.

After all, the Legendary Earth Snake wasn’t that easy to deal with; it’s likely the captain had to pay a price, perhaps a minor injury.

But they all knew about Anna’s close relationship with Rein. Saying that the captain was injured now might show a lack of confidence in their own leader and also cause Anna to worry.

Viery, as Rein’s follower, did not think too much and directly stopped a guard to ask: “Yesterday, were there any battles here, and did Captain Rein get injured?”

Since Viery and the others were dressed as knights and exuded an extraordinary aura, even though the guard was stopped, his attitude wasn’t poor.

Additionally, upon hearing Viery refer to Rein as the captain, the guard’s demeanor became even more respectful, as he smiled and said:

“Sirs, are you friends of Lord Rein? Lord Rein is fine.”

Hearing this, Anna and everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s just that Lord Rein fought two consecutive battles yesterday, so he should still be resting,” the guard added after some thought.

“Two battles?” Everyone exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing that.

They had only been a night late and missed two battles?

Thus, they surrounded the guard to ask for more details, quickly getting a rough understanding of the situation.

“Legendary strongmen, two of them?” Anna’s beautiful eyes fluttered, her mind a little jumbled.

Could it be that there’s a difference between the Empire’s definition of Legendary strongmen and that of the Druid Circle?

Taking down approximately three Legendaries in one night seemed too exaggerated!

Why did it feel that after becoming a formal Druid, the gap between her and Rein was growing wider…?

“Whoa~ Taking out two Legendary strongmen consecutively, plus a Legendary Earth Snake, the captain is truly remarkable!” Neoro, the knowledgeable marquis heir, also clicked his tongue in awe!

“The captain is too incredible!” Angus listened with his eyes wide open!

“Has Lord Rein’s strength increased to such a level?” Remiel also listened in shock.

“This is too over the top…” Evelyn’s beautiful eyes widened, her mouth slightly ajar, with a shocked expression.

….

At this time, Rein in the training room noticed the commotion at the door through the window.

“Perfect timing.”

Seeing that his team members had arrived, Rein couldn’t help but smile.

Opening the training room door, Rein went to greet them.

However, after some pleasantries and storytelling, Rein led the group into the training room.

…

A few minutes later.

In the center of the training room, Viery stepped forward swiftly, the greatsword in his hand slashing a silver arc through the air, striking down heavily at Rein!

Facing Viery’s strike, Rein calmly raised his staff!

“Clang!”

A piercing metallic clash echoed.

Rein’s staff held firmly against the opponent’s greatsword slash.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The two fought faster and faster, the sound of their weapons colliding continuously ringing out.

“Clang!”

After another clash, the two separated.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Viery’s chest heaved, panting like an ox, sweat rolling down his forehead.

“I can’t go on, captain!” Viery waved his hand tiredly.

Despite activating the ‘Limit Break’ and using the Secret Skill, he still wasn’t a match for his own captain.

Moreover, in such a high-exertion scenario, even though it was only for a few minutes, it took a great toll on his stamina; even a Great Knight couldn’t continuously use the Secret Skill without break, leading him to quickly run out of strength and be forced to concede.

Seeing Viery defeated mainly due to exhaustion, Anna, Neoro, Evelyn, and the others exchanged glances, realizing that Rein was deliberately going easy.

Didn’t their captain not even use additional weapons, only wielding a staff typical of a Wizard?
