Elise tightly gripped the scepter in her hand, her palm sweaty.
Laisa also watched intently, her beautiful eyes fixated on Raine’s charging figure.
Benest, on the other hand, could only smile bitterly. The more he interacted with the young Mr. Rein, the more he found him enigmatic.
Normally, encountering a single Brain-Eating Monster would be headache enough.
Who in their right mind would rush in to take on three at once?
But he also knew that Raine wouldn’t generally do sothing he wasn’t confident about.
So....
Let’s wait and see!
Sulfur Vine also watched nervously, but having been through the Dark Furnace City expedition with Raine, she had more confidence in him than the other three.
And at that mont.
A tall figure concealed by a High-level Invisibility Spell quietly arrived several tens of ters behind the four of them.
Not to launch a surprise attack, but as a Drow with Dark Vision like Veronica, she also saw the Brain-Eating Monster in the distance.
After all, being one of the three major races of the Underdark, Veronica knew all too well that the Brain-Eating Monster was a valued subordinate of the Mind Flayer, and a product of the Mind Flayer’s evil experints.
’Huh? What’s that human kid up to?’
Seeing Raine’s lone charge, Veronica was montarily stunned!
’Is he really that reckless?’
’Is he planning to take on all three by himself?’
She knew that even when her group of six was complete, facing a Brain-Eating Monster with its mastery of Spiritual Spells and high resistance to all types of magic was very daunting.
The basic strategy was continuous long-range arrow fire, trying to keep a distance while gradually focusing fire to take them down one by one.
But this was often difficult to accomplish.
After all, their Spiritual Spells were hard to withstand, and if a subordinate was hit, it was basically a death sentence.
There was a high likelihood of sacrificing one or two subordinates just to defeat them all.
’Wait a minute, is he wearing a Forbidden Magic Helt from the Gray Dwarves?’ Veronica’s eyes widened slightly.
At that mont, she saw the gray, dusty helt on Raine’s head, which was clearly a different style from his pauldrons and chest armor.
Similarly, as a Drow, she was quite familiar with the legendary artifacts of the Gray Dwarves.
’So that’s your reliance?’
’Unfortunately, you’re still too naive. The Forbidden Magic Helt doesn’t provide complete immunity; it rely significantly weakens, but when facing the compounded Spiritual Spell attacks of three Brain-Eating Monsters... hehe.’
From behind, Veronica smirked inwardly, waiting to see Raine make a fool of himself.
Up ahead,
The distance between Raine and the three Brain-Eating Monsters grew ever closer!
Thirty ters.
Twenty ters!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three invisible energy strikes suddenly landed on Raine’s Forbidden Magic Helt.
As the energy’s aftermath, or rather the Spiritual Energy that slipped through the Forbidden Magic Helt, continued to strike Raine’s head, it triggered ripples of invisible waves.
It was Raine’s Monster Skill, Spiritual Energy Barrier, blocking this aftermath.
’I don’t feel anything at all!’
Raine felt the recent spiritual attacks from the three Brain-Eating Monsters, and his heart settled.
In fact, he also had the Firm Will of a Gray Dwarves’ Combat Priest, which could further diminish the effects of the spiritual energy.
However, it wasn’t needed now.
As the three Brain-Eating Monsters drew closer, Raine showed no fear on his face, only delight in his heart.
On one hand, he could reap the bloodline of a Brain-Eating Monster, and on the other, he could test in actual combat the recently fused super powerful ’Deadwater Wild Boarman Lord’ Monster Skill.
’Just right to test the Wild Boarman Lord Monster Skill!’
The fused bloodline of the Wild Boarman Lord had not changed much, mainly based on the Wild Boar Chief Lamusta’s abilities.
Furthermore, it retained the extraordinarily strong boar man’s bloodline talent ’Rapid Growth,’ and a series of spell-like abilities from the Headless Wild Boar Shaman.
This was already the best possible outco expected.
Because with this, Raine effectively used just one bloodline slot to obtain the Monster Skill of a Wild Boar Chief, as well as those of Mutant Wild Boar People and Headless Wild Boar Shaman.
An all-in-one bargain!
"Boom!!!"
As they quickly closed in, Raine’s steel boots stomped heavily on the ground, unleashing the Chieftain’s exclusive Advanced Combat Skill ’Stomp’!
Instantly, a spiderweb of cracks spread from the center of Raine’s steel boot, and all three Brain-Eating Monsters were dazed on the spot.
"Fury!"
Raine’s body swelled another size, his face flushed red, and the entire person seed like an enraged bull. The epic-level Warhamr Counterattacker in his hand whirred like a whirlwind.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The speed was so fast that the hamr’s shadow couldn’t be seen!
It was like the chaotic wind hamr technique from so martial arts novel Raine had read in his previous life, striking seven or eight tis in a second.
In mid-air, only the silver hamr shadows and violently whirling air remained.
The otherwise heavy Warhamr Counterattacker, supported by 16 points of power, coupled with its extraordinary speed, reached explosive power!
"Smash! Smash! Smash!"
In just two or three seconds.
The three Brain-Eating Monsters, exposed brains on four legs, wobbled and dropped with a ’thunk’ in succession.
The once sturdy brains, with spiritual defense, now lay shattered like broken walnuts on the ground, leaking an unknown pungent, red-white liquid.
"Damn! So strong!" Laisa’s eyes widened, involuntarily cursing!
"Did we encounter fake Brain-Eating Monsters?"
"Weren’t they supposed to have high magical defense and strong physical defense?"
"How co they’re....?"
Sulfur Vine and Elise exchanged a bewildered glance, unable to fathom what they had just seen.
Even the always worldly Benest was stunned by the scene, not knowing what to say.
As Raine had his back to the group.
Even Veronica, with her Dark Vision, didn’t notice Raine’s flushed appearance while unleashing Fury.
She assud it was Raine’s normal strength.
Veronica was now also looking at Raine’s back as if she’d seen a ghost, unable to react for a long ti!
anwhile, Raine felt the sensations of the just-ended battle, gripping the Counterattacker in his hand tighter, and praised inwardly:
’Amazing!’
’Fury coupled with Counterattacker’s first trait, boosting speed by 140%!’
’Power doubled, stamina doubled, and what should’ve been a stamina-draining move, now wasn’t too taxing. ’
’No wonder it’s a BOSS-level Monster Skill! Incredible!’
Raine glanced at the three new Brain-Eating Monster icons in the newly cleared sixteen-slot pack, joy welling up as he turned to wave at those behind:
’"Safe! Let’s move on."’
Having already cleared the initially full sixteen-slot pack, only then could Raine fit these new Brain-Eating Monster icons.
He discarded the previously collected icons of Wild Boar Hunters, Wild Boar Warriors, and even High-tier Warriors.
Now with the Deadwater Wild Boarman’s ultimate bloodline—the Lord’s bloodline, he naturally no longer needed the other Deadwater Wild Boar bloodlines.
’"Wait, didn’t we hear the Brain-Eating Monsters transmit ssages?"’ Suddenly, Sulfur Vine’s eyes widened, realizing sothing almost impossible, and spoke.
"Huh? Seems like it, yawn."
Normally, when Brain-Eating Monsters encountered an unbeatable enemy, they would send spiritual ssages, summoning their Mind Flayer master.
But just now, neither Benest nor the three won Sulfur Vine noticed any spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Mr. Rein, did you kill them so quickly they didn’t manage to warn us?" Sulfur Vine timidly offered a guess.
Although it sounded unreal, it seed to be the only reasonable explanation.
Even the usually calm Benest couldn’t resist a corner of his mouth twitching.
...
anwhile, on the other side.
In the west main corridor, in Necromancer Magiller’s laboratory.
"It’s done!" Magiller straightened up and smiled at Lilith beside him, "Done. Aiel’s body can now move freely, though it will always remain in an undead state."
At this mont, the male body on the operating table sat up by itself, revealing a head with repair seams, and in a hoarse voice, said to Magiller: "Mr. Magiller, thank you for everything you’ve done."
