Chapter 715: Chapter 279: Duel (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

But now…

At this moment, Raksul’s skull, just above his forehead, had been completely smashed by Rein!

This caused Raksul’s mouth to twitch uncontrollably!

Not only had his surprise attack failed, but it also resulted in the near extinction of the Black Flame Guardians he had brought with him.

“Because, I finally got to avenge my friend!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Rein charged at Raksul with great speed, clutching the Skull Warhammer, leaving behind a silvery shadow.

Raksul’s pupils shrank as his lips rapidly moved, and when Rein was still four or five meters away, a mass of bloody mist formed out of thin air, rushing towards Rein.

But the next second, Raksul’s expression changed!

How could Boiling Blood Magic have no effect at such a close distance?

How was this possible?

Rein, having gained a bit more agility, immediately calmed his agitated blood, and his speed faintly increased even more.

In an instant, Rein gripped the Skull Warhammer with both hands, his muscles bulging, and the Hardened Essence Gold on the surface of the knight’s gauntlets quickly gathered and extended at the hilt, transforming into the shape of a hammer handle.

Rein, now wielding a three-meter-long Skull Warhammer, drove it down with force!

“Pop! Pop!”

The miniature white skull shattered two layers of shields before coming to a halt just before the third layer, the blood-colored shield.

But now the blood-colored shield was left with a basin-sized dent, nearly on the verge of breaking.

The white Skull Warhammer was only mere centimeters from Raksul’s eyes, and at that moment, he could clearly see the patterns on the miniature skull!

This terrified Raksul immensely!

“Three layers of shields, which together should withstand a 50-degree attack, were almost shattered by a single hammer blow from Rein!”

“Damn it, this is unreal!”

The next second, Raksul quickly retreated, while at the same time, he drew out a blood-colored Crystal Ball and crushed it in his hand!

With the immense qi and blood from the Crystal Ball infusing into the blood-colored shield, the once-dimmed bloody light, now substantially weakened from blocking Rein’s hammer strike, became more intense and substantial.

Meanwhile, Raksul slit his wrist with a dagger, chanting rapidly.

As his face turned pale, a large amount of bright red blood shot out from the wounds on his wrists, forming a dimly glowing blood spear, and a surge of powerful energy fluctuated through the air.

“Blood Ignition Strike!”

This intense energy fluctuation immediately drew the eyes of everyone present.

At this moment, Ganon, the Great Priest of the Secret Snake Sect in the manor’s main building, had arrived at the prison cell door, while Langgeler and Flay’s conditions were very grim.

Langgeler’s thick metal shield had cracked, his left arm was broken, and a conspicuous dent marred the solid knightly breastplate on his chest.

Flay was shaking uncontrollably, his head tilted to one side, a sign that his neck had been broken. His strong vitality meant that he would not die immediately, but he had clearly lost all fighting ability.

Alex was the only one still standing, gasping for air, looking at Ganon with a face full of terror!

Then, Ganon, holding the winning hand, couldn’t help but look out the window in surprise, “What a strong energy fluctuation?”

Alex followed Ganon’s gaze as well.

In the center of the area.

Rein’s Hardened Essence Gold quickly morphed into a Kite Shield, but a cylindrical bulge rapidly appeared on the shield’s surface, growing layer upon layer, like sesame flowers blooming one after the other, and again formed a Kite Shield, and finally, one more.

In an instant, three Kite Shields made of Hardened Essence Gold blocked the path of a blood-colored pyramid emitting intense bloody light!

“Boom!!”

The first shield shattered in an instant, and though the blood-colored energy storm was substantially weakened, it still rushed towards Rein.

The second shield broke soon after.

The shockwave weakened further, and Rein’s muscles coiled as he stood firm, even as his armor-clad boots plowed two trenches nearly a meter deep into the ground!

“Iron Wall!”

The third shield twisted and deformed, but ultimately held fast.

What Raksul hadn’t expected was that because the explosion was too close to him, he also endured an explosive shockwave nearly as strong as the one Rein faced!

At that moment, the richly-colored blood shield that had just been energized, like a leaf in a storm, dimmed considerably.

“Pop!”

The blood-colored shield burst like a bubble!

Raksul’s eyes went wide as he stared ahead, freezing in place!

His forehead was in intimate contact with a white bone Warhammer.

“The ninth!” said a familiar voice…

…
