Chapter 965: Chapter 342 Hammerfall Fortress (Two-in-One Chapter)_3

”Interesting, it seems the opponent is an official of the Empire, and holds quite a high position.” The witch smiled and shared her assessment.

”Yannis, let’s follow in a few minutes. With someone paving the way ahead of us, I’m sure our journey will be much easier.”

”Why not follow right away?” Fatty Yannis couldn’t help but ask.

”Hehe, if you get too close and anger this distinguished person, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Merita couldn’t help but laugh.

...

Five minutes later.

As Fatty Yannis and the others along with the caravan entered, they were soon astonished by the scene in front of them.

The tall and spacious tunnel was now radiating streaks of intense heat, with the light from torches illuminating the walls several meters high. Ahead of them lay the scattered corpses of dozens of Molten Lava Snakes, paving the way deep into the tunnel.

”This... this...” Fatty Yannis was completely stunned!

They were less than five minutes late in entering, but the opponent had already slain so many Molten Lava Snakes?

Not even slaughtering chickens could be this fast!

Witch Merita looked at the scene with a serious expression, stunned for a few seconds before coming back to her senses.

The other two male wizards were also clearly shaken.

Meanwhile, the two leather-armored men at the front of the caravan quickly advanced, each inspecting the corpses of the Molten Lava Snakes.

These Molten Lava Snakes were about three to four meters long, resembling pythons but bulkier, with red rocky armor the size of palms on their bodies, providing substantial defensive power.

However, at this moment, the Molten Lava Snakes lay on the tunnel floor motionless, without any visible wounds from the outside.

”Master, they were all killed instantly, likely by a sharp weapon penetrating the Molten Lava Snake’s hardest skull.”

”To be precise, it was a puncture, piercing from the front of the skull to the back. This level of attack power...”

Quickly, the three wizards exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

While they could effortlessly kill Molten Lava Snakes, it was reliant on witchcraft.

But spiritual power is limited, and if they were to kill so many Molten Lava Snakes, each of their spiritual energies would be nearly depleted, making the remaining journey impossible.

Hence the reason for teaming up.

”At least an attack power above twenty-five degrees is needed for such effects, which is almost comparable to the power of First Level Witchcraft.” One male wizard said with a solemn expression.

”Casting Zero Level Witchcraft dozens of times consecutively? Impossible...” another male wizard shook his head and said.

”But the way these dozens of Molten Lava Snakes were killed, it clearly doesn’t resemble the effect of group witchcraft; rather, it feels like one sword per snake, casually dispatched.” Merita said.

Instantly, the three fell silent.

”Could the opponent be a Second Level Liquidization Wizard?” the male wizard said gravely.

A Second Level Liquidization Wizard is already a significant figure, whether in the Empire or any major Wizard School, they are considered mid to high level.

”Possible.” Merita nodded.

Earlier, when she saw the faces of Rein and Anna, they seemed very young, likely not a Second Level Liquidization Wizard.

But now, it seems not so certain.

...

At this moment, several hundred meters ahead, Rein’s longsword flashed with a silver light, then ”pfft,” easily penetrated the forehead of an approaching Molten Lava Snake, as if piercing through tofu.

Immediately, it was ”swish” withdrawn.

In a flash, he was at another Molten Lava Snake, stabbing again.

The speed was so fast that Anna felt as if Rein had split into three or four figures, simultaneously killing several Molten Lava Snakes.

”Is Rein’s power really at such a level now?”

”It’s truly amazing.”

The girl’s beautiful eyes were fixated on Rein, showing no concern for the surrounding Molten Lava Snakes’ attacks.

Because any Molten Lava Snake approaching within ten meters would be decapitated by Rein the next second.

”Chirp~ chirp~”

And Blood Feather chirped happily a few times before pecking open a part of a Molten Lava Snake’s body with its iron beak, swallowing a fiery red oval object.

As Rein killed ahead, it ate behind, delightfully.

However, at this moment, Rein paused slightly, stopped, and looked back.

Just now, he heard the sound of the door opening again.

”Rein, what’s wrong?”

”Nothing, maybe someone’s coming again.” Rein shook his head and said.

”Is it that caravan?” Anna instantly thought of the Fatty Yannis who had just invited Rein and her.

”Probably.”

Rein didn’t mind others taking the opportunity to follow him through the tunnel.

Although it’s called a tunnel, as soon as Rein entered, he realized it was more fittingly described as a hall.

At this moment, where he and Anna were walking could be considered the central corridor of an underground hall.

On both sides were towering circular columns, with circular vault walls between each column. The torches were installed at the junction of the vault walls and columns.

Excavating such a vast space underground is evidently not a task that can be accomplished in a short time.

Furthermore, Rein observed the quaint patterns on the vault walls, appearing exceedingly ancient, not resembling the architectural style of the Dragan Empire.
