"Boom!!"
The warhamr and shield clashed, sparks flying everywhere!
Raine always believed that answering an enemy’s question during battle was quite foolish.
So, what the Shield Warrior welcod was Raine’s ’Armor-Piercing Strike’ with the Counterattacker, along with the exclusive class skill ’Frost Strike’.
Raine intended to severely injure his opponent in a single blow.
Huh?
But to Raine’s surprise, after the opponent retreated two steps back, they managed to block it.
Moreover, the accompanying Frost Strike, logically, should have caused a chilling effect on the opponent. But this negative effect that would reduce the opponent’s movent and attack speed was suddenly dissipated by a blue aura that erged from the opponent’s plate armor.
Was it the effect of the Steadfast Power set?
Raine recalled that when the opponent dealt with the Ice Spirit, the glowing aura seed to have appeared once all over their plate armor.
If Raine’s surprise level could score a six out of ten, then the surprise level of the Bronze Level Adventurer across from him, the leader of the Bite Bone Squad, a Level 7 Shield Warrior, had already exceeded the limit!
It reached eleven, or even twelve!
How could it be?!
Because if they really were a mage, how could one explain the power, speed, and skillful proficiency of that hamr just now?
A special class?
But what special class, at level two or three, can repel , a Level 7 Shield Warrior known for defense?
Moreover, I’m wearing the Steadfast Power set!
Even with enhanced power, I was still repelled?
Does the opponent have an ogre or a giant inside them?
The Shield Warrior who took Raine’s blow was filled with incomprehension.
And Raine could clearly feel this from the bewildernt, shock, and confusion revealed in the opponent’s expression.
However, not being able to defeat the opponent in one blow did not et Raine’s expectations.
’In that case...’
’It’s ti to get a bit explosive!’
"First-stage Gigantification!"
"Counterattacker effect activated!"
Raine chanted in his mind.
His muscles bulged, his height shot up a notch, and the swinging speed of the warhamr in his hand suddenly increased!
Since the opponent’s plate armor could negate the chilling effect, Raine naturally didn’t plan to use Frost Spells to engage.
Perhaps, Frost Spells above the third level could break the opponent’s set effect, but it’s far less quick than a direct lee violent strike!
"Boom! Clang! Snap!"
The shadow of the hamr was heavy, the wind whistled!
The Shield Warrior of the Bite Bone Squad was directly stunned by Raine’s warhamr attacks like a storm!
In the face of a power increase of thirty percent and an attack speed increase of twenty percent, the opponent only managed to block two hamrs before Raine hit them in the chest, sending the whole person flying more than two ters high before crashing heavily to the ground.
And at this ti.
redith also took down a priest of the Bite Bone Squad and is now charging towards the other approaching enemies.
The successive falls of the warrior, mage, and priest left the mbers of the Bite Bone Squad stunned!
Conversely, Schneider and Hayley were invigorated, joining redith in a swift pursuit.
In just two minutes.
The opponent was thoroughly defeated.
"Bah! Weren’t you so arrogant just now! Run, why aren’t you running anymore!" Laisa directly slashed the throat of a severely injured ranger fleeing with a dagger.
anwhile.
Raine crouched down, eyes locked on the Shield Warrior, and asked in a deep voice: "As a subordinate squad of the Silver Battle Group, your visit to the Lankote Snowfield this ti isn’t just to kill the Ice Spirit, is it?"
Even for a regular Bronze Level Squad, the gains from the Ice Spirit aren’t enough to justify coming all the way from Winterless City to the Lankote Snowfield.
"Puh... Do you think... I will... tell you? Puh..."
The opponent struggled to get up but couldn’t. A large sunken hole in the chest plate was gushing blood, and they coughed up blood as soon as they started to speak.
At this mont, Raine recalled so mory images glimpsed in Blood Sword Quinn’s mind through the Brain-Eating Monster’s skill earlier, and the words ’Solaisar Ruins’ imdiately surfaced in his mind.
"You’re here for the Solaisar Ruins, aren’t you?" Raine said softly.
"How do you know?" the opponent stared wide-eyed, looking at Raine in utter shock.
To know, the word Solaisar would not be known to regular people; it’s the na of an ancient divine hall.
Was the opponent deliberately disguising themselves as a Black Iron Level Adventurer Squad to get close to us?
That must be it!
Surely, that’s the case!
Raine found it odd because the dying Shield Warrior’s expression shifted from shock to relief and then to a sense of release.
The opponent spit out a mouthful of blood, slowly glanced around the crowd, and said, "This ti, I admit your skills are a notch above, but if it’s just you few..."
"Soon, you will all join ."
Then, the opponent gave Raine a aningful look before letting out a muffled huff, their whole body collapsing to the ground.
Suicide?
Witnessing this scene, Raine alongside the others including Schneider, felt a chill run through their hearts.
Although the opponent’s conduct was extrely domineering, there was no denying that these few guys were quite ferocious in their battle style.
The Giant Blade Squad mbers, including Schneider, were sowhat apprehensive.
For if they hadn’t invited Raine and redith this ti, whose combat prowess exceeded the enemy’s expectations, the ones lying on the ground would probably be their Giant Blade Squad.
