Chapter 793: Chapter 299: Lava Giant (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

If it weren’t for Rein’s “Metal Barrier,” sometimes he wouldn’t need to dodge at all and could take a direct hit from the Flame Strike without issue. Any other Great Knight, even a Peak Knight, would likely fall quickly on the spot if hit.

But as the battle intensified, the area around the lava giant, nearly half of the surroundings, had become unbearably hot molten lava.

The space left for Rein to maneuver and attack was getting smaller and smaller.

If the lava giant spewed magma again, Rein would be at a disadvantage.

Of course, Rein could choose to give up.

He could choose to return to Minster City, for Asimov wouldn’t dare to control the lava giant to attack Minster openly.

But that wasn’t the outcome Rein wanted!

Rein narrowed his eyes, a fierce light flashing across them!

If that was the case, then there would be no dodging!

Instead of lingering on the outskirts, Rein took a quick step forward, braving the Flame Strike and stepping on molten lava, he charged towards the lava giant. In the blink of an eye, he was under the giant’s right foot.

In an instant!

Rein kicked, spun, twisted his hips, his whole body winding up like a tightly coiled spring. Swinging the Two-Handed Warhammer from one side of his body, he spun a full one hundred eighty degrees, unleashing a lightning-fast blow!

“Ha!!!”

It was none other than the Top Secret Technique–Annihilating Hammer!

In an instant, the dark Hardened Essence Gold Warhammer, like a heavy artillery shell, slammed into the left knee of the lava giant!

“Boom!!!”

A sound akin to an exploding shell rang out!

The knee of the lava giant’s left leg was struck, leaving a basin-sized penetrating wound as red-hot lava and fragments of rock splattered in every direction!

This immediately caused the lava giant to become unstable, tottering on the brink of collapse!

“Bang!!!”

The lava giant fell to one knee!

This nearly caused Asimov, who stood atop the giant’s head, to fall off, his face flashing with a mix of shame and rage.

It was that same technique again!

In their previous encounter at the residence, that very Hammer Skill secret technique had nearly injured him.

It had broken through his two defensive witchcraft barriers, and had it not been for his “Fire Resistance Ring” from the crystal pendant activating to protect him automatically, he would have suffered greatly at that time!

For an opponent so young to master a Hammer Skill secret technique with such immense power was truly puzzling!

Such an enemy must be eliminated as quickly as possible!!

“You think you have won? You are celebrating too early!”

After stabilizing his stance, Asimov quickly began chanting, and soon enough, the chest and heart region of the lava giant started to glow with an intense fiery red light!

“Roar!!!”

Following that, the lava giant let out an angry roar to the sky, and stood up once again, its nearly severed left knee visibly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The ground’s molten lava flowed like red streams from the soles, the ankles, up the shins, all the way to the knee, quickly repairing the damage to the lava giant.

“How many more times can you perform that powerful secret technique you just used?”

“Now, you have almost used up all your energy!”

“Accept your fated defeat,” Asimov said loudly from atop the lava giant, pointing his wand at Rein like a king.

“Huff~”

Rein took a deep breath.

Having pursued the fight this far and having used the Top Secret Technique twice, Asimov’s words weren’t wrong–his strength was nearing its end.

If it were any other Peak Knight, their energy would probably be less than ten percent by now.

But Rein was different.

He silently looked at the nine remaining attribute points on his attribute panel.

Judging by his current Constitution of 46 points, at his peak strength, he could fully execute the Top Secret Technique ‘Annihilating Hammer’ at least three times.

Three times nine is twenty-seven, meaning he could perform the Top Secret Technique twenty-seven more times!

“I wonder if your spiritual power will run out first, or if my strength will,” Rein thought to himself.

The next second, his Strength increased from 46 points to 47 points, and immediately, a warm current surged powerfully from his heart and spread rapidly throughout his body!

Instantly, the feeling of fatigue vanished from Rein’s body.

And his energy was restored to its peak!

———–

At the same time.

Inside Minster City.

After receiving Viery’s transmission, Neoro, bolstered by Swift Technique, was the first of the team to arrive.

The first thing he saw was the situation in the front courtyard of the residence.

The ground in the residence, which was originally flat, was now full of pits and divots. The neatly trimmed exquisite flowers and shrubs were now a complete mess.

Moreover, in the middle of the front yard, there was a conspicuous, enormous bulge and intersecting massive ravines that were billowing steam even in the rain!

This made Neoro surprised and contemplative.

“This is… rarely seen Lava Witchcraft!”

“And judging by the scene, it doesn’t seem to be the power of a first-level witchcraft, but a second-level.”

Thinking this far, Neoro became somewhat worried.

Before he had time to inspect the situation further, Neoro suddenly turned, with a stern face, towards someone emerging from the shattered rubble to his right front.

“Who’s there?”

“It’s me, Angus.”

As soon as the voice fell, Angus’s familiar tall figure emerged from the ruins of the wall, carrying something in his hand.

This immediately eased Neoro’s mind, and he said, “You gave me quite a scare! Angus, what’s with the bad habit of not using the front door and instead coming through the back…”
