Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 1340: Chapter 452: Total Annihilation (2)

This is the high-level evil artifact ’Poisonous Halo Pendant’, a special evil artifact imbued with supreme power during the prayer ritual.

Once released, it can emit a poisonous aura, an exceptionally powerful evil magic that only an Evil Sorcerer of Fourth Level Dawn Wizard level can release, causing multiple types of damage such as toxicity, weakness, organ failure, and high fever within a hundred-meter radius.

Even Epic-level powerhouses would face considerable threats.

Especially if one stays too long within the poisonous halo’s range, it could be fatal.

Of course, releasing this high-level evil magic would also drain Gaeli’s spiritual power and essence blood heavily, but he believed this move would cause great trouble for Rein.

Gaeli erupted with a strong energy wave, followed by a dark green ring of light spreading and covering the entire area.

”Oh!” Seeing this scene, Rein was slightly surprised and wondered if it was necessary to engage in a fourth-phase transformation.

But soon, he realized that with his above-average poison resistance and Dragon Scale protection, although he felt some skin and breathing discomfort, it was bearable.

This was unexpected by Gaeli, as Rein’s was not an ordinary Dragon-man Bloodline Transformation, but a mutated form, a key special ability being poison resistance, and it was enhanced post-fusion with the ’Deadly Poison Master.’

Thus, the mentally exhausted Gaeli suddenly saw darkness before his eyes and completely lost consciousness.

From an onlooker’s perspective, it was Rein’s lightning claw strike that directly turned the Plague Messenger Gaeli into pulp!

However, when Rein looked around, he was slightly stunned!

”What a coincidence!”

Because the poisonous aura didn’t cause him much harm, it completely devastated the thousand Stone Palate Monsters!

The poisonous aura’s impact range was too large.

Almost all the Stone Palate Monsters below on the platform were enveloped.

Originally keen vertical pupils now looked scattered, disoriented steps, bodies starting to sway, though no blisters appeared on the skin, a weird red hue emerged, then they began to swell, abscess, melt...

Yes, melt, like how candles meet flames...

This terrifying scene made the Stone Palate Monster chieftain, initially planning an attack, roar in fear and immediately turn to escape towards a nearby cave.

Yet, the increasing abscesses on its body suggested it wouldn’t be spared.

....

Several minutes later, when Rein returned to the room above, the three from the school stared at Rein with eyes like lightbulbs as if trying to see through him.

”Rein, is this your further awakened Dragon Bloodline talent from the Dragon Valley Secret Realm?”

”This must be the third-phase Dragon-man transformation, right?”

Moria, the leader of the Bixiu Mechanization School, knowledgeable and aware of many royal secrets, naturally recognized Rein’s Dragon-man transformation at once.

Connecting this with Rein’s previous explanation about his fast strength growth, Moria naturally held no doubts now.

Or rather, filled in sufficient reasoning in their mind.

And Albert beside him had an ’oh, that’s why!’ expression, as if it was all due to Rein’s Dragon Bloodline for his current power.

People often feel unbalanced if someone’s luck is much better than theirs.

But if attributed to a hereditary blessing, they’re much more accepting.

”Indeed, sect leader.” Rein smiled slightly without much explanation.

”By the way, how about these two?” Not wanting to continue the topic, Rein glanced at the two unconscious school wizards beside him and asked.

”Not very good, we need to find a suitable environment for treatment.”

”Initially, this room with the witch array resisting radiation would suffice for treatment, but now... To fully repair the array could take at least two days.” Fiona frowned, looking at the heavily damaged anti-radiation array, sighed.

Moria pondered quickly and made a decision, turning to Rein:

”In that case, Rein, do you need to rest for a bit?”

”My thought is, maybe heading directly to the core area with me now would be safer, I worry the Plague Cult might send more people later.”

”See, the Stone Palate Monster horde we dreaded is now mostly wiped out. There happen to be two sets of anti-radiation devices ready; now is the best time to move.”

”As for Fiona and Albert, they can escort these two, retreat the ruins, and get some rest back at Empire’s fifth outpost nearby.”

”I don’t need to rest; moreover, I strongly agree with the sect leader’s suggestion.” Rein thought briefly and said.

Thinking of the personnel from the Secret Snake Sect this time, Rein added: ”The Plague Cult coming to Ferdinand Forest may consist of more than just these people.”

After all, referencing the Secret Snake Sect, apart from ’Evil Snake’ who is at Legendary Peak, there’s also the Epic-level Vice Pope Quirut. If that’s the logic, the Plague Cult might also have an Epic-level powerhouse leading.

Hearing Rein’s words, Moria looked at Fiona and Albert, and seeing they had no objections, he immediately made a decision:
