Chapter 787: Chapter 297: Consecutive Breakthroughs (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

“The information he could access showed that Rein had already become a Gold-level Sword Bearer captain, but the other party guessed that Rein might have reached the Diamond Star level, because he saw Rein moving to the floor above him.”

“What! Diamond Star level! Is the information accurate?” Drak suddenly stood up, his complexion turning pale with shock.

It wasn’t that the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps was bound to fail, but the opponent’s strength exceeded expectations, making the possibility of failure much greater.

It was like a tiger who was originally hunting a rabbit, and now the rabbit suddenly became a brown bear.

Although Drak still believed that the tiger would win, even if it did, it would be a tough fight.

Especially since their mission this time was to obtain the target’s heart’s blood, not just to kill the opponent.

But Drak quickly calmed down because it was already too late to inform Asimov and the others now; perhaps, they had already started fighting.

All he could do now was to wait quietly for the news.

“By the way, what did you mean by ‘the floor above’ just now?”

“Oh, it’s like this. Sword Bearers of different levels have different conditions and treatment. Silver level is on the first floor, Gold level is on the second floor, while Diamond Star level is on the third floor. That insider is Silver level, and he saw Rein move to the top floor.”

For a moment, Drak didn’t know what to say, and after a long while, he sighed and said,

“Let’s hope that everything goes well for the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps…”

———–

Rein Mansion.

Asimov, who stood atop the wall, was a bit dazed by the scene before him!

This was completely out of sync with the plan they had made earlier!

Not a single point matched!

He had merely circled to one side and used just four or five more seconds, but how had Iron Man and Scorpion Woman ended up like this?

If one said that Scorpion Woman had been careless and suffered a disadvantage, it was still somewhat understandable, but what about Iron Man?

The always composed and solid as a rock Iron Man had also been crippled?

Asimov glanced at the huge hole in the wall of the house across the street and, for a moment, didn’t know what to say.

Although Asimov still had strong confidence in his own strength at this time, the problem was that the battle had ended too quickly, and he couldn’t help having some doubts in his heart.

He was tempted to ask the bystanders what had just happened.

But at this moment, both Scorpion Woman and Iron Man were already lying down.

And there was no need to mention the support personnel. Several rank three Wizard Apprentices were responsible for the barrier spell, and a few Knights were tasked with handling the patrol team; naturally, none of them had seen what had happened in the fight just now.

Another reason Asimov couldn’t retreat was that when he had accepted the commission from Marquis Oren, the employer had made it very clear that this mission was very important, as it related to whether the successor of the Oren family could awaken their bloodline.

Since Asimov’s body had already fused with the blood of the Bloodtop Ancient Giant Trolls, he needed to obtain special medicines from the Oren family, which possessed the Ancient Giant Trolls bloodline, every few months to help stabilize the irregularities in his bloodline.

This had made his bond with the Oren family rather special, somewhat akin to a symbiotic relationship.

At this time, Rein was also closely observing the other party.

In Rein’s perception, he could clearly feel a powerful field surrounding the opponent. Such a field was generated spontaneously when one’s spiritual power was sufficiently strong.

Somehow, the opponent’s field gave Rein a sense of being both substantial and yet vibrant.

Facing this least known and yet strongest enemy, Rein felt a hint of excitement.

At this moment, he had already dealt with the others, leaving only the leader of the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps.

Suddenly, Asimov on the wall narrowed his eyes and immediately started chanting, pointing his short wand at an angle.

The ground in front of him suddenly flickered red, and with a roar, the earth cracked open, rapidly forming a bulge, from which scorching hot air flowed in all directions!

Then, as Asimov waved his wand once more, a gigantic molten hand emerged from the ground with lava overflowing from it.

As the short wand in Asimov’s hand waved again, the fiery-red molten hand swiftly lunged toward Rein!

“A second-level fusion spell combining fire and earth elements?”

“No wonder the field felt so strange, both substantial and vibrant.” When Rein saw this, he immediately understood.
