"I can’t waste a chance to stack soul energy," Rein muttered to himself.
At that moment, Rein transformed the warhammer back into a riding spear and used the tip to lift the opponent’s hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a unique ouroboros symbol on his forehead.
"It’s the Secret Snake Sect causing trouble, as expected." With such clear markings, Rein could easily identify them.
The two people he killed earlier also had various snake-shaped tattoos.
Thinking it over, Rein decided not to put away the riding spear. Instead, he rested it on his shoulder, waiting calmly for the person named Ecosela whom the opponent mentioned.
"A bit of tactical deception isn’t bad either."
...
After waiting for a minute, Rein glanced in a direction and said:
"Since you’re already here, stop hiding."
"Hehe, interesting, not bad strength, I didn’t expect Digano to die at your hands."
With the playful laughter, a graceful figure in a black robe appeared in front of Rein, not far away.
Ecosela seemed indifferent to her subordinate Digano being killed, merely glancing at Digano’s blood-soaked body, her smile unchanged as she walked forward.
"Oh, you don’t mind that I killed your subordinate?" Rein raised an eyebrow and smiled in return.
Meanwhile, as he spoke, he subtly glanced back.
Just now, his danger perception and the blood feather in the sky warned him that there was another enemy behind him.
"Of course I don’t mind, because it proves your strength is superior, and if I kill you, isn’t that a profit?" Ecosela laughed.
Behind Rein, assisting Ecosela in attacking him was another black-robed figure—Timxi.
Timxi gazed at the corpse on the ground, his expression shifting.
Clearly, with his panion Digano killed, he felt a sense of tragic kinship.
But when he heard what Ecosela said, he was taken aback, thinking, ’She really is a mad snake! But somehow, what she says makes sense!’
"Then one of us in this duel is surplus." Rein laughed and said.
"You..."
Just as Ecosela began to speak.
Suddenly, Rein spun around, suddenly producing a short spear and threw it forcefully!
With a sharp ’whizz’ sound!
Timxi only saw a blur, and then a sharp pain pierced his heart.
Simultaneously, he was hit with great force, sent crashing against the wall.
"Ah!!!"
Timxi couldn’t help but scream!
He was utterly confused, thinking, ’Weren’t you supposed to duel with Ecosela? Why are you attacking me first?’
Several phantoms flashed, and almost in the blink of an eye, Rein was in front of Timxi, holding a warhammer.
"Bang!"
Skull shattered!
Immediately, a hideous shadow emerged once again, dragged by a long trail and absorbed into the warhammer.
"Undead Witchcraft! Phantom Art! Metal Morphing Spell!"
"Who the hell are you?"
Furious, Ecosela was just about to make a move, but was stunned by the sudden appearance of the transparent shadow.
Being one of the twelve Secret Snake Envoys and also a Third Level Crystallization Wizard, she naturally assumed that Rein’s soul energy absorption with the warhammer was some kind of undead witchcraft effect.
And Rein’s residual shadow was mistakenly identified by her as witchcraft phantom art.
"Huh? You don’t know who I am?"
This time, Rein was a bit surprised.
Rein thought that the Secret Snake Sect, by ing to him this time, must have investigated thoroughly, knowing he had killed two of their high-level members. But judging by her expression, she seemed to have no idea who he was.
In fact, Rein misunderstood.
Ecosela learned the killer’s name, Rein, from the steward Yodel, who killed her brother, but the description received was of someone skilled with a dual-handed heavy hammer.
Usually carrying a dual-handed heavy hammer on his back.
So Ecosela hadn’t associated this user of ’undead witchcraft,’ the true Rein, with the killer of her brother.
