Chapter 635: Chapter 259: Attack Power Test (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4
After giving it some thought, Rein decided to test the damage of the axe. After all, he possessed the Extraordinary Battle Technique “Rocken Axe and Shield bat Skill”.
However, before transforming, Rein pondered over an issue.
It would be better not to reveal that he treated the Metal Morphing Spell as his innate wizardry; it would give away too many secrets.
Thus, this time, Rein took nearly ten seconds to carefully transform the dagger in his hand and the Hardened Essence Gold covering his armored gauntlet into the shape of an axe.
This process was naturally captured by everyone present, including Scolda.
Many people suddenly exclaimed,
“It’s a rare metal-based witchcraft!”
“This seems to be a Level One metal-based witchcraft—Metal Morphing Spell; I think I saw it in the special items exchange catalog.”
“So, this young man is actually a third-level Wizard Apprentice!” Scolda muttered to himself.
…
“Clang!!!”
Rein’s lightning-fast axe chop sliced at least ten centimeters into the metal block, and the nearby Wisdom Slate swiftly refreshed to display 27 taels.
“Yo, not bad! He’s quite strong,” the young man said with mild surprise, turning to his team leader Scolda.
This figure immediately drew more attention to Rein.
Rein once again took even longer, about seventeen to eighteen seconds, to transform the axe in his hand into the shape of a Dual-Handed Greatsword.
The people nearby were quite interested in Rein’s use of metal-based witchcraft and started discussing:
“This Metal Morphing Spell may be good, but it’s too impractical for real bat!”
“Exactly! Look, it took him nearly twenty seconds to transform; he can’t use the transformation in a battle.”
“That’s right, such is the case, you could only use one weapon in a fight.”
“If you ask me, it would be better to carry multiple weapons instead!”
“He’s a newer after all! It’s understandable; he doesn’t have much bat experience.”
“What do you think, how much damage will he be able to deal with the Dual-Handed Greatsword this time?”
“…”
“Zi!”
Rein struck the metal block hard with the Dual-Handed Greatsword!
Meanwhile, the neighboring Wisdom Slate jumped to display 32 taels!
This reading immediately caused surprise among the onlookers, sparking a flurry of discussion!
“Captain, this… this newer’s attack power is decent!” the young man said with wide eyes and a touch of astonishment to Scolda.
“It’s not very practical though! But, is he really a newer?”
“How e I haven’t heard about such an expert with a Dual-Handed Greatsword among the new batch of recruits?” the young man said, puzzled.
…
Meanwhile.
At Mingster, on the third floor of the Yakesen Auction House.
Inside a splendidly decorated study.
“It’s been three days, Asani. The men you sent to find Hammis haven’t brought back any news yet?” a middle-aged man with a hunting garb and horseshoe moustache leaned on a generously-sized and fortable deer leather chair, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Yes, Viscount Fabien. The day Hammis disappeared, the contacts in Mingster lost all munication with Hammis’s team. That’s when I suspected something might have happened to them.”
“According to our agreement, there should be munication every day.”
Fabien nodded and continued to ask, “And then, your men just told you that they had seen that Sword Bearer named Rein in the city?”
“That’s correct, my lord,” Asani said, his expression serious.
After a long pause, Viscount Fabien finally asked, “Asani, what’s your take on how this Sword Bearer newer named Rein could have defeated Hammis and his team?”
“Hm, just Rein alone couldn’t possibly take down Hammis’s squad.”
“I think it’s most likely that when Rein went to Meister for some mission, Hammis and his men launched an attack but were killed by other Sword Bearers acpanying Rein.”
“Other than that, I can’t think of any other reasonable explanation. After all, when bined, Hammis and his men were as strong as an elite squad from the Empire’s special department.”
“Mhm, that sounds very likely,” Viscount Fabien nodded in agreement.
“However, we still need to sort out the current problem! Marquis Orenz has been pressuring me; his eldest legitimate son, Melvord, urgently needs the Fangs of Ancient Giant Trolls for his imminent Bloodline Awakening Ceremony.”
“But, Viscount, we don’t have a stronger team than Hammis’s squad in our province currently. What do you remend…?” Asani looked troubled.
“No need to worry, Marquis Orenz, being a shareholder of our auction house, the headquarters in the Imperial City will naturally dispatch experts. Make sure your men keep a close watch on this newer Sword Bearer named Rein. The situation in the entire Mingster Province is quite chaotic at the moment; he’ll likely leave Mingster soon for his mission. Inform me immediately once he leaves Mingster again,” Fabien instructed.
“As you mand, my lord.”
After a pause, Fabien added:
“Also, if he doesn’t leave Mingster soon, it’s fine too. As long as he steps out of the Sword Bearers Branch, even if he remains in the city, we can make our move; we can blame it on the Cult…”
