Chapter 774: Chapter 294: Battle of the Evil Spirits (Two in One Mega Chapter)_3

“Annihilating Hammer!”

Rein leapt high, making a sudden rush, and swung the massive warhammer down from above, smashing it onto the similarly gigantic spirit of the little boy!

The next second! Time seemed to freeze!

The crowd turned to look in unison!

They saw the nearly five-meter-tall giant spirit, crumble like weathered rock, turning into grains of sand, drifting away with the wind!

“Such power!” Even Brandel was amazed.

When did Mingster get such a strong hammer user?

Just as he was about to step forward for a chat, a Templar Knight quickly reported:

“Lord Brandel, the source of the evil spirit seems to be at the art exhibition.”

This caused Brandel to temporarily abandon the idea of chatting with Rein, nodded to Rein, and quickly followed the Templar Knight and left.

If the source of the evil spirit wasn’t dealt with, the outbreak could happen again!

“Brandel?”

“I seem to have heard this name.”

At that moment, Rein’s face showed realization!

He remembered that Archbishop Meister Shion had given him a letter of recommendation, which mentioned contacting the hammer skill master of the Goddess Church, named Brandel.

“It seems he is a rare Punishment Knight!”

“His combat strength is very strong.”

“Especially against such spirits, very targeted.”

Rein didn’t think of going to the art exhibition, but after a short stay, he headed back to the mansion, to ensure his family’s safety first.

At this time, Rein glanced at the system prompt:

….

[Congratulations, you have defeated a formidable enemy and acquired 4 Golden Skill Points!]

[Congratulations, your Will (hidden) attribute has been enhanced!]

…

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) Profession Level has increased!]

…

The already close-to-upgrading Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) Profession Level, this time, rose another level, reaching LV7 (1421/5000), and he gained one more skill point and attribute point each.

Adding to his remaining points, Rein now had 6 remaining attribute points, a total of 6 skill points, and 9 Golden Skill Points.

“Will has increased by another point?”

“This is an unexpected joy.”

Just now, Rein had a faint realisation towards the kind of force field from the evil spirit, he hadn’t expected that so quickly his Will, a hidden attribute, would reach 3 points.

Meeting the requirement for the Basic Annihilation Field, which required a Will attribute of 3 points.

…

The following morning, upon waking up and looking out the second-story window, Rein saw that the number of street security officers and City Guards had increased several fold compared to before.

Although he was puzzled, as things were handled very quickly last night, and calming the injured commoners should have sufficed, after all, so many people patrolling would only make the public anxious.

Rein shook his head, perhaps it was Duke Mingster’s fury.

After all, at least a hundred people had died or been injured last night, not to mention those possessed by the evil spirit in the early morning, with no telling how many could survive.

After breakfast, Rein said goodbye to his family and returned to the nearby Sword Bearers Branch.

After tidying up the items in his dormitory a bit, Rein, carrying the blue and white warhammer, planned to set off for the Goddess Church.

He intended to let the church examine the weapon.

After all, having a weapon with a specific origin would make it easier to track down the history of the ‘ancient hero Mong’.

At the same time, Rein also wanted to know if there was a way for him to use the warhammer comfortably.

Currently, it was still the same; Rein held the warhammer in his hand, and the warhammer, as if having a will of its own, clearly conveyed a feeling of rejection, utterly unyielding to his control.

“Knock, knock, knock”

At this moment, an urgent knock sounded.

Hmm? Who would come to find him so early?

Viery?

Rein opened the door and found, to his astonishment, Olena, the Second Secretary of Affairs, but she should have just started her workday.

“Lady Olena, this early? Please come in, what happened?” Seeing the serious look on Olena’s face, Rein knew something must have occurred.

Could it be a follow-up to last night’s evil spirit incident?

“Yes, Lord Rein, Archbishop Gomez has been assassinated.” As soon as Olena entered, her first words made Rein freeze.

“When did it happen?” Rein’s expression darkened.

He had planned to go to the church now and ask Archbishop Gomez to judge whether the mark on his body could be removed smoothly.

But in just one day’s time, he heard the news of his death!

This cast a cloud over Rein’s heart.

“It happened last night, during the giant evil spirit event; Archbishop Gomez was probably assassinated around that time”.”

“Who did it? Have you investigated?” Rein asked.

“From the traces left behind, the culprit seems to be a legendary shadow-class powerhouse, a Third-level Crystallization Wizard.”

“But even if it’s a legendary powerhouse, Archbishop Gomez shouldn’t have been killed by the other party so easily, right?” Rein couldn’t help but wonder.

He had some understanding of the strength of a Goddess Church archbishop overseeing the affairs of a province.

It was said that although Archbishop Gomez had not yet entered the legendary rank, he had been at the threshold of becoming legendary for many years.

Moreover, the assassination took place within the temple; logically, even a legendary powerhouse should not benefit from such an attack.

“It seems the culprit was not alone; at least three different footprints were found at the scene in the prayer hall after the incident, and the residual aura confirmed this,” Olena explained.

“Three against one?” Rein nodded.

So that’s how it was.

That made much more sense.
