But when he tore open the scroll, he was completely stunned!
His face was a mix of shock, panic, and disbelief!
"Damn you, Freddy!"
Falko cursed through gritted teeth.
No wonder Falko was so out of sorts!
The magic scrolls Freddy gave him, two were real and one was fake.
The two third-level magic scrolls were real, but the second-level ’Invisibility’ scroll was fake.
Thinking it over carefully.
Falko instantly understood.
The first two magic scrolls were essential for completing the mission.
But this Invisibility scroll was not essential, it was ant for special ergencies.
What would happen if the scroll failed when he was in danger?
It’s obvious!
While he was scheming for Freddy’s treasure, Freddy was scheming against him too!
But at this mont, Falko had no ti to think.
He had only one word in his mind—
’Escape!’
If it were three words—’Desperately escape!’
Falko, in a black robe, ran frantically downhill without any regard.
"Human adventurer, do you think you can escape?"
The High Priest snorted coldly from the sky and imdiately cast Flying spell to chase after him.
Dozens of Gray Dwarf guards and several Gray Dwarf commanders below also joined the chase.
Only the second Gray Dwarf priest and two Gray Dwarf commanders from the beginning remained to manage the scene.
Raine, who was originally about to give up and retreat, suddenly felt a twist of fate upon seeing this scene.
’What an opportunity!’
’Seems like that adventurer squad is not entirely useless!’
’Good folks!’
With a little thought, Raine decided to reveal his human form during the attack.
On one hand, to prevent revealing his transformation ability.
On the other hand, to mislead the subsequent investigations of the Dark Furnace Clan.
With the power of a tier-four frost breath spell, he didn’t think the Gray Dwarf Priest and the two commanders would have much chance to resist if caught off guard.
In his Gray Dwarf guard form, Raine slightly bent forward and, with extre deference, quickly approached the Gray Dwarf Priest.
The nearby Gray Dwarf guards saw a fellow and paid no attention.
The two commanders thought he had sothing to report to the priest and continued loudly directing the guards to maintain order and aid the wounded.
"Strange, where’s Albright?" complained the second Gray Dwarf priest as he looked around.
Seeing Raine approaching quickly, he vaguely rembered that guard was the one who took Albright away, imdiately asking:
"Where’s Albright now..."
"Pfft!"
Raine suddenly raised his head, and stabbed the short sword fiercely into the Gray Dwarf Priest’s abdon!
And at that mont, he restored his human form.
"An assassin!"
"It’s a human adventurer!"
In the next second, the surrounding Gray Dwarf guards cried out.
The two Gray Dwarf commanders were shocked upon seeing the priest stabbed, and imdiately charged at Raine.
Raine turned and pushed the Gray Dwarf priest toward the two commanders, while his chest swelled fiercely, like a steam locomotive brewing inside him, finally having a chance to burst forth!
"Roar!!"
As Raine’s neck muscles tensed, swelling like an angry cobra’s hood.
A blast of white, intense cold air burst from his mouth, surging forward like a tsunami.
There was no ti to escape!
The cold wave swept across a twenty-ter area, followed by a half-ter thick layer of ice. Both Gray Dwarf commanders, priests, and ordinary guards were all frozen in their tracks.
The only difference was:
The commanders could struggle slightly, whereas the ordinary Gray Dwarf guards were already taken away by the deadly frost breath.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The previously surviving Gray Dwarf priest and commanders only lived a second longer than the guards before Raine smashed their heads with three consecutive hamr strikes.
Initially, Sulfur Vine, transford into a gray furred mouse, was still searching for Raine amidst the chaos.
But the near-signature frost spell attack instantly revealed Raine’s position to her.
Just as Raine darted into a side room, Sulfur Vine, in her gray furred mouse form, leapt down from a rooftop, calling out softly, "Mr. Rein!"
Hearing Sulfur Vine’s call, joy rose in Raine’s heart.
He had thought he would have to wait outside the city at Laisa’s for Sulfur Vine to regroup with him.
He didn’t expect her to have returned as well.
In that case, the two could imdiately retreat.
Having acquired the bloodlines of two Gray Dwarf priests and two Gray Dwarf commanders, Raine felt quite satisfied.
As for the Forbidden Magic Helt, it would be nice if he had it, but it was fine without it.
Raine cast the Transformation spell again, quickly shortening his height, bulking up, and tossing aside his guard uniform.
Opening the back door, he swiftly entered a narrow alley.
And the gray furred mouse, transford by Sulfur Vine, lightly leapt onto Raine’s shoulder, exclaiming joyfully:
"Mr. Rein, you’ll never guess what I obtained?"
"The Forbidden Magic Helt, I’ve got the Forbidden Magic Helt!"
Sulfur Vine raised her head slightly, speaking with a hint of pride.
