Chapter 697: Chapter 275: Wizard Rein (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

“No good, it’s the Shadow Snake!”

“The opponent is Holdan!”

Given the appearance of the huge black snake, Langgeler, who had extensive battle experience with the Secret Snake Sect, immediately discerned the origin of the attacker!

He hadn’t expected that just after their squad had arrived in Meister, the Secret Snake Sect would ambush them that very night.

In an instant, Langgeler thought of something else.

That was, although Rein’s strength was formidable, he had never clashed with the Secret Snake Sect before, and it was very likely that he would suffer a great disadvantage when facing this move!

The opponent’s transformation sorcery was immensely powerful and was not merely a physical attack. It also included intense pressure and an invasion of shadow energy, making it extremely difficult to defend against without experience.

Flay, standing beside him, looked at the massive black snake with a horrified expression!

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to withstand this strike.

Even Lord Rein, if he did not master defensive secret techniques, would find it nearly impossible to resist this type of attack that combined physical force with energy invasion.

They could only hope that he wouldn’t be too severely injured!

“Iron Wall!” Rein roared, his muscles swelling!

“Boom!”

The enormous snake head and Rein’s tower shield collided violently.

Rein immediately felt a vast strength hit his shield, causing the veins on his arms to protrude like trembling little snakes.

And his entire lower half instantly sank half a meter into the ground, nearly to his knees!

“Is this… a physical attack?” Rein wondered, his eyes flickering.

But immediately, he felt a strangeness coming from his side.

“No!”

He saw several serpent-like streams of black energy circumventing the front defense of the shield and attacking from the left and right sides.

“Transform!”

The shield in Rein’s hand immediately began to extend and envelop, soon forming a circular shield that blocked all attacks!

“Bang bang bang!”

The next second!

The black energy dissipated, and the opponent’s massive black snake also withdrew back into the thick black fog.

Suddenly, the black fog quickly condensed, revealing Holdan’s human form inside.

Holdan looked utterly shocked, fixating his gaze on the shield Rein now held.

Just now, he clearly saw that the weapon originally a Two-Handed Warhammer had in an instant transformed into a tower shield.

Now, Rein’s circular shield had once again morphed into a Kite Shield.

The answer was self-evident!

“You… you are a Wizard!”

At that moment, Holdan had no desire left to continue fighting.

Only then did Holdan realize that the Rein he had been assigned to assassinate was not only a Great Knight who had mastered secret techniques but also a Wizard.

In an instant, Holdan understood a lot!

No wonder his Shadow Snake had been discovered early.

Why the pressure of his trump card had so little effect on his opponent!

The discrepancy with the information provided by the Black Flame Church was too damn large.

“Damn it, the Black Flame Church, damn it, they actually dared to screw me over!” Holdan cursed inwardly as he hastily retreated.

Meanwhile, not far away, the advancing members of the Blade Team, Langgeler and Flay, had also seen the scene of Rein transforming his shield from a distance, abruptly slowing their pace and looking at each other in bewilderment!

Both saw surprise in each other’s eyes!

“Isn’t he a seasoned Great Knight?”

“He’s actually a Wizard, and furthermore, a rare metal-type Wizard?”

Langgeler recalled the scene in the conference room where Rein had smashed the knight dummy into steel fragments, feeling utterly astonished!

Following behind, Alex and Alexandra, who hadn’t seen this, found it odd why the two ahead suddenly had slowed down.

Could it be…

Lord Rein had already encountered misfortune?

Alexandra thought about it but then felt it was unlikely!

After all, Lord Rein was someone who could escape from a situation inferior to a titled Knight’s strength, at the very least, saving himself should be no issue.

Immediately, Alexandra quickened her pace again.

At that moment, Holdan had already dashed into a dense plantation in the noble district, tearing off the tattered black robe from his body and throwing it aside. The next second, his entire figure disappeared, blended perfectly with the mottled shadows under the moonlight – the best cover for him.

This was also why the Archbishop of the Secret Snake Sect, Ganon, was confident that even if Holdan couldn’t complete the mission, he would still manage to escape unscathed.

Among the shadowy figures, even the Greyhound combat dog Cookie, confused by the scent of the tattered black robe fragments, couldn’t immediately locate Holdan.

At that moment, Holdan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, he looked terrified!

He saw that Rein was not slowing down at all, following him right into the woodland!

And the weapon in Rein’s hands also morphed in an instant into an odd greatsword, the broad blade covered densely with many small objects, while Rein himself spun rapidly like a top!

In an instant, a fierce tornado swept around!

Most importantly, densely packed corner darts, mixed with the sharp sound of tearing through the air, simultaneously struck in all directions.

Holdan’s innate ability from the Shadow Snake, ‘Shadow Skin Technique,’ was a type of witchcraft that allowed near-invisibility in shadowed areas, and it was not about disappearing from the current plane or directly teleporting away.

Thus, facing the densely packed, virtually airtight, swiftly approaching corner darts, Holdan could only deploy multiple streams of black serpentine airflow around himself for protection.
