Chapter 1262: Chapter 426: Ancient Black Water Soul

“However, before having fun with you, I think I should first clear out these two little bugs.”

The black-robed girl transformed by the Nether Sea Goddess Hela cast a sideways glance at Nick and Agrippa, who had just taken their positions.

This mere glance made their hearts skip a beat with fear!

And the words of the Nether Sea Goddess made them instantly understand that she intended to clear the field first and then deal with Rein.

This immediately made them glance at Rein with displeased expressions, calling out in their hearts:

“What is this situation?”

“We wanted you to attract attention, but you’ve attracted too much!”

“Brother, you overdid it!”

And this scene.

Was naturally witnessed by everyone on the second floor of the Star Mage’s Platform in the Imperial City Tamriel.

For a moment, everyone including Marshal Alfred and even Grand Astromancer Dalain, who was maintaining the astrology, looked at Rein on the Elliptical Stone Platform with shocked expressions.

“Augustus, did you say that Rein had a confrontation with the Nether Sea Goddess before?” Alfred quickly regained his composure and asked.

“Uh… yes, to be exact, Lord Rein had a confrontation with a projection of the Nether Sea Goddess.” Augustus was slightly taken aback, nodding in response.

In a flash, Augustus also understood the meaning behind Marshal Alfred’s words.

That is, if it was only a confrontation with a Divine Projection, the Nether Sea Goddess’s reaction this time shouldn’t be so…

She shouldn’t have said such words.

“Last time it was merely a confrontation?” Marshal Alfred asked in confusion.

“Well…” Augustus tried hard to recall.

The Empire Territory was vast, with cults proliferating, and even various secret ancient sects reviving. Though Divine Projections weren’t particularly frequent, on average, there were one or two incidents a month.

And every few months, situations of Divine Incarnations descending would be reported somewhere in the Empire.

“Um… I might know why.” At this time, the nearby female Major General Tatia said with a peculiar expression.

“Because the site of the battle between Lord Rein and the Nether Sea Goddess’s projection was on the Frostwind Prairie, it was the Sword Bearers Branch of the Marn Province that reported it first.”

“I watched it many times and remember it well.”

Tatia’s words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

“Ahem… At that time, Lord Rein might have been a bit too sharp-tongued, which made an impression on the Nether Sea Goddess.” Tatia initially wanted to elaborate, but as soon as she started, she felt it was inappropriate and glossed over it.

Only, this instead made everyone more curious.

“More specifics, for example?” Marshal Alfred, who normally showed no emotion, displayed curiosity and inquisitiveness at this moment.

“Uh… for example, when the Nether Sea Goddess hoped for Lord Rein’s submission, Lord Rein immediately retorted, ‘You might as well submit to me….’

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened, staring at Tatia in disbelief.

“No… it wasn’t me who said this, it was Lord Rein.” Tatia felt her heart race under the gazes of several superiors and quickly waved her hands.

At that time, she had read about it in the intelligence reports and was quite shocked, so she reviewed it multiple times and even confirmed with the local Sword Bearers Branch in Marn Province, which left a deep impression on her.

Only then did everyone realize there was such a reason!

No wonder!

At this moment, the Nether Sea Goddess Hela looked at Rein with a “fervent” gaze.

As if she were a woman staring at a man who had wronged her.

Though her smile was enchanting, it was also chilling!

However, as everyone turned their gaze back to the stone platform projection, the scene abruptly changed!

Only to see the Nether Sea Goddess Hela suddenly point lightly at Agrippa to her right. Instantly, five rapidly spinning black torrents appeared in front of her.

The black torrents seemed to contain something, as if they imprisoned wraiths, and vague human faces of agony could be seen.

Then, with a flick of her pale finger, they shot towards Agrippa like lightning.

It seemed, as she said, she wanted to eliminate the “little bugs” first.

This caused Rein’s eyebrows to raise, and he immediately dashed towards the Nether Sea Goddess in an attack.

Though Nick and Agrippa both had their own calculations, Rein wasn’t about to stand aside and watch Hela kill them.

As for Agrippa, who was attacked, he naturally didn’t dare rely on his Wind Element Third Level Witchcraft ‘Tornado Barrier’ to withstand an attack from a Divine Incarnation.

Moreover, with his perception, he could easily discern that though the Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s spell was nearly instant-cast, its energy fluctuations were as intense as Fourth Level Witchcraft.

Thus, Agrippa’s first response was naturally to rely on his swift Wind Witchcraft to dodge quickly.

His body shimmered with azure light, leaving behind multiple afterimages as he retreated dozens of meters instantly.

Just when Agrippa thought he had evaded the spell, he looked up, and his slightly relaxed heart tensed up once more!

For Agrippa was astonished to find that the five black torrent vortices released by the Nether Sea Goddess Hela pursued him like living creatures, tracing a beautiful arc before catching up to him again.

This strong tracking feature?!

Simply unreasonable!

It’s known that general witchcraft, based on the spiritual power of the Caster, possesses a certain tracking feature, but this would quickly diminish with the target’s distance and movement speed changes.
