Chapter 1248: Chapter 422: Blood Crystal and Ascension

Pearce’s face contorted with ferocity as he suddenly lifted the newly grafted head of the Green Dragon in his right hand, aiming directly at Ailida who was pursuing closely behind.

Suddenly, the long-dead Green Dragon’s head eerily opened its mouth wide, unleashing its signature breath attack towards Ailida!

“Sister, be careful!” called out her sister Areda from afar, immediately reminding her.

In fact, even before her sister had launched the attack, she had already cast the defensive witchcraft ‘Shadow Shield’ on Ailida.

Seeing the sky filled with the foul stench of yellow-green breath, Ailida abruptly stopped her slender legs, swiftly sidestepping with lightning agility to dodge, with only a small amount of acid splattering, which was blocked by the Shadow Shield on her body.

Facing such a 360-degree deathless angle Green Dragon breath, continuing to engage in melee combat was not a wise choice.

The breath of the Green Dragon, a mixture of acid and venom, though seemingly less powerful than the Flame Breath of a Red Dragon, was actually more troublesome.

A small amount of contact could cause significant trouble.

Moreover, Pearce was already severely injured, at the end of his strength, there was no need to risk a desperate counterattack for a melee confrontation.

Therefore, after a brief thought, Ailida flickered back to her sister’s side.

“Sister, I’ll leave it to you now.”

Against such an enemy, long-distance witchcraft attacks would be much safer.

“Understood!”

Areda chanted a spell, and a cloud of ‘Disabling Technique’, familiar to Rein, enveloped Pearce, significantly slowing his charging speed.

Rein smiled upon witnessing this, abandoning thoughts of close combat, quickly chanting while raising his hand. Three metallic Giant Nets illuminated with silver light swiftly crashed towards Pearce.

This was the Liquidation Kill Move ‘Metal Cutting Net’!

Meanwhile, Areda cast the Second Level Shadow Type Witchcraft ‘Shadow Impact’.

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”

“Boom!”

The three silver Giant Nets and another black beam alternately bombarded Pearce. Although not fatal, they left Pearce covered in blood and staggered him back several steps.

“Let me join too!”

Taking advantage of the gap, Baldwin, the captain of the military department who had just taken medicine, stepped forward with delight.

He finally found a moment to showcase his skills!

He thought his potion would be wasted.

Unexpectedly, he could still contribute his leftover strength at this moment.

However, just as he intended to advance with the Giant Earth Spike Technique, he suddenly felt a strong metallic particle vibration coming from beside him.

Turning his head, he discovered a gigantic Thorny Iron Ball with a diameter of over two meters had unexpectedly appeared in front of Rein.

“Sizzle!”

The surface of the iron ball, filled with densely packed spikes of varying lengths, sparked as they rubbed against the ground, clearly demonstrating its impressive power!

With a virtual push from Rein’s hands, accompanied by a ‘whoosh’ sound, the giant iron ball shot out in a straight line, rushing towards Pearce with tremendous kinetic energy, filling the onlookers with awe.

Witnessing her master’s witchcraft, Areda’s eyes sparkled, as if she realized something.

She immediately stopped the ongoing casting of the Third Level Witchcraft ‘Shadow Storm’, and instead began casting the Second Level Witchcraft ‘Shadow’s Grasp’.

Hmm?

Although Pearce was somewhat disoriented at this point, he instinctively intended to dodge the massive iron ball hurtling towards him.

But just as he was about to move, his legs were firmly secured to the spot by Areda’s Shadow’s Grasp.

Simultaneously, Rein’s Second Level Metal Series Witchcraft ‘Metal Cage’ was completed and descended.

Though these two witchcraft spells were only Second Level, their effect amplification was limited, and they could only restrain Pearce for a second or two.

But that was enough; by the time Pearce dispelled both immobilization witchcraft spells, the rapidly rotating Thorny Iron Ball had reached him in a dazzling display of sparks and electrifying speed.

“Ah!!!”

With a furious glare, Pearce roared mightily, seemingly mustering his last strength to cross both arms, placing the Green Dragon head and the Dual-Handed Greatsword in front of him.

But in the subsequent moment, he was still crushed by Rein’s enhanced Thorny Iron Ball with a ‘swoosh’.

The tons-heavy high-speed iron ball rolled over Pearce from his groin, abdomen, chest, and face, with the spikes piercing into his body, dragging out a line of bloody holes instantly.

Pierce, now resembling a sprinkler, could no longer hold on, twitching a few times on the ground before lying still.

“Hiss~ such power… Lord Rein, it seems the rumors I’ve heard about you were understatements,” marveled Baldwin, the military captain, beside him.

It’s known that Metal Series Witchcraft excels in attack, and with Rein’s Super Affinity combined with the third layer of the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method, the power had already surpassed the limits of a general Third Level Witchcraft.

“Lord Baldwin, you’re too kind,” Rein replied with a slight smile.

Rein naturally knew the power of his Third Level Witchcraft ‘Thorny Iron Ball’; it had reached a potency of 191 before, and now, it comfortably surpassed 200.

Even compared to some Third Level Wizard’s Crystalization Kill Move, the difference was negligible.

“Is that the Rift Closer?” Rein asked, pointing to the box in Areda’s arms.

“Yes, Lord Rein, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to accompany me to the target location,” Baldwin responded apologetically.
