Chapter 1052: Chapter 366: Monster
“Mortal, in the eyes of a True God, you are merely a slightly stronger ant.” The black-robed girl, Hela, gave Rein a cold glare and threw a heavy punch towards him.
Due to the enlargement of her body, Hela’s punch this time was much stronger than the last one.
However, with the energy remaining constant, her enlarged size also caused a slight delay in the speed of her punch, allowing Rein to barely catch her attack trajectory.
Rein crossed his arms in front of him, using all his strength to block Hela’s punch.
“Bang!”
Layer upon layer of soft yet massive power was transmitted from Hela’s water-like fist to both of Rein’s forearms.
“Thud, thud, thud!”
Unsteady, Rein staggered back five steps, each step leaving a massive half-meter deep footprint in the valley floor.
But ultimately, he had withstood the blow!
“Hmm?”
Hela had thought that with her last punch, even if Rein’s arms didn’t break, he would at least be knocked to the ground. She hadn’t expected Rein’s technique of energy dispersion to be so advanced.
He was actually able to weaken the concentrated yet soft force of her punch through a bination of footwork, muscle vibrations, and the ebb and flow of his scales, gradually diminishing its power.
What Hela didn’t know was that close bat was precisely what Rein’s Epic Level Profession as “King of Thousand Blades” excelled in.
In the ancient times, even among the Ancient Giant Troll Empire, there were few battle masters worthy of the “King of Thousand Blades” title, each with unparalleled willpower and exceptionally skillful bat techniques.
Much like the Sword Saints among humans, these were figures who dared to face the Divine directly, wielding their weapons fearlessly in battle!
However, despite her surprise, Hela did not pause her subsequent assault.
The next moment, a four-to-five meter long water-spear suddenly appeared in her hand, which she hurled fiercely at Rein.
“Swoosh!”
Rein squinted his eyes, and the enchanted silver in his hand instantly transformed into a shield, defending himself with a fluid execution of the ‘Metal Morphing Spell’.
“Ssss!”
Although Rein’s defense was timely and well-executed, the Kite Shield was still penetrated instantly. The massive force attached to the water-spear pushed him back two more steps.
But, being passively beaten is not Rein’s style!
He transformed the hardened gold essence in his hand into a spear as well, spun around and twisted his hips, throwing it fiercely at Hela.
“Whoosh!”
A fierce whistling sound as the spear cut through the air!
The abdomen of the black-robed girl Hela turned into was pierced through with a large hole, but in the next instant, it healed pletely.
It seemed as though Rein’s attack had made no impact, but in fact, it had touched Hela, the Nether Sea Goddess’s reverse scale.
She hadn’t expected that the ant-like mortal before her would dare to wield a weapon against her.
“Mortal, you’re too reckless!” A woman’s angry voice echoed through the valley.
No sooner had the voice faded, Hela suddenly held a water-like knight’s longsword in her hands, which extended several meters, slashing down at Rein. Rein, in turn, stacked several shields together, bending his knees slightly, crouching to fully brace against the attack.
“Boom!”
Hela’s sword slashed through three of Rein’s enchanted silver shields, but Rein used this force to bend his knees, advancing instead of retreating, swiftly engaging Hela again.
…
As the battle between the two titans began, the intense motion was vaguely perceived even at the Winterfort Academy, several leagues away.
Inside a room, the recently healed Batalov suddenly opened his eyes, muttering, “What powerful momentum!”
“No, this aura… this is…”
With hair and beard as white as snow, Batalov dashed out of the room, while the elegant beauty Werti, the Vice Principal of Winterfort Academy in the room next door, also had an expression of shock, quickly stepping into the corridor.
“Principal, did you feel it too?” Werti couldn’t help but ask with slight panic.
The immense pressure from earlier, even at such a distance, made Werti, an experienced Second Level Liquidized Wizard, feel a rush of terror.
This is the natural fear of a lower life form facing a higher life form.
Like ants scurrying in panic, mistaking the tremors caused by an elephant’s footsteps for an earthquake.
“Yes, if I’m not mistaken, it should be an avatar or projection of a Divine descending, from the direction of the Oakmay Ice Valley.” Batalov’s face turned solemn, nodding.
“However, it’s strange because it seems like this unknown God’s projection is engaged in battle, causing significant fluctuations in its aura.” Batalov frowned, puzzled.
For even a God’s projection, if it deliberately concealed its presence, with their power, it would be impossible for them to detect it.
It was the intense fluctuation just now that made them clearly perceive its existence.
“Hmm? Battle? In the Oakmay Ice Valley? Oh no, isn’t Lord Rein over there!” Werti suddenly realized something, her face turning pale, she exclaimed.
“What?!” Batalov couldn’t help but shout in surprise.
Melita, who had hurried over, also heard Werti’s last words, nodding heavily, “Mentor, Vice Principal Werti is right, these days Lord Rein has been fond of taking Miss Anna for walks around the glacier valley.”
“What’s happening over there?”
Batalov, who was initially eager to avoid, now furrowed his brows in thought, but soon, he made up his mind.
