Chapter 726: Chapter 282: Hammer Clash! Hammer Against Hammer (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

Rein ran his hand, radiating with primordial force, in a karate-chop motion gently across a corner of the wooden table.

“Smack!”

The thick corner of the solid wood table fell to the ground, its cut surface smooth beyond measure!

“This…”

Rein’s face was thoughtful.

Clearly, the infusion of primordial force before hadn’t been able to achieve this effect.

…

Suddenly!

A loud “Boom!” came from outside the window!

Rein immediately went to the window to check.

He saw that the previously sealed tunnel entrance had burst open, with dirt flying everywhere.

“The Earth Snake is back?”

Rein’s first thought was that the Legendary Earth Snake had returned.

“Well, this is good, just the right moment to test the core skill effect ‘Soul Shatter Strike’ of the Warhammer Wizard and experience what real damage is.”

However, to Rein’s surprise, his keen vision observed a particularly burly figure slowly emerging from the smoke and dust.

The figure had wild red hair similar to a lion’s mane and wore an extremely ancient, bronze-colored breastplate.

The design somewhat resembled the muscle cuirasses worn by Spartacus, the warrior from Rein’s previous life, made from front and back bronze plates.

In his right hand, he carried a cube-shaped giant warhammer.

The warhammer, equally ancient in style, had a perfectly square metallic head and blue faces on both sides, with stripes of blue and white on the handle.

Suddenly, dozens of guards, in their shock, immediately surrounded the figure.

But in the next second, all guards, as if frozen by some invisible force on the spot, seemed unable to move even a finger.

The figure blinked and was instantly beside a guard.

“Pff!”

He drove his hand directly into the guard’s heart.

As wisps of red blood spread over his large, withered arm, the figure slightly tilted his head and said in a muffled voice from his chest cavity:

“Freeman… you are deceiving me, these are not the Empire’s elites…”

At that moment, Rein saw, a group of black flame cultists were emerging in a single file from the tunnel.

…

Langgeler, Flay, and Atlas rushed over quickly from the side.

But upon their first glimpse of the ancient hero Mong, they were stunned!

That aura of authority…

Freeman quickly pointed at Langgeler and the others and immediately explained to Mong, “No no, Lord Mong, those are the Empire’s elites!”

Instantly, as Mong’s gaze landed on Langgeler and his company.

The group immediately felt their hairs stand on end and a chill shoot from their spines directly to their crowns!

They instantly felt as though they were being targeted by a natural predator.

Langgeler, the Peak Knight, looked desperate and said to the two teammates beside him, “You two escape separately in a moment!”

“I’ll hold them off!”

“Captain, is he really that strong?” Flay, slightly panicked, asked. It was his first time seeing his captain like this. They hadn’t even clashed with the enemy, and he had already given up hope of victory.

“Captain, even with Lord Rein, it’s no use?” Flay pursed his lips, unwillingly.

“No use! It’s impossible to win, he is a true Legendary fighter, maybe… even beyond.” Langgeler shook his head, his complexion turning pale.

At that moment, Cleya also arrived behind Langgeler.

Following her, Rein!

….

“Not escaping separately?” Off to the side, Freeman, seeing this, couldn’t help but rejoice and silently cheered.

“Come on! Come on! All the elites of the Dragan Empire, the more the better. This way, Lord Mong can swiftly regain his full strength!”

The ancient hero Mong had been asleep for far too long, although trapped in the Amber Barrier Spell, which slowed the passage of his life.

Still, his vital essence gradually weakened with the passage of time.

Moreover, while the crystallized blood from the previous blood ceremony, refined though it was from thousands of mere mortals mixed with a few knights, wasn’t enough for a being of Mong’s caliber.

Most of it was mere dross.

After absorbing it, he had barely awoken.

The strength of the ancient hero Mong was now at a mere fraction of what it once was.

From formerly an Epic fighter, he was barely at the threshold of a Legendary fighter.

Mong needed to absorb the essence of as many powerful beings as possible to quickly regain his strength.

For instance, if he could absorb a Legendary fighter now, he should be able to recover a small portion of his strength.

If there were ten Legendary fighters, basically, he would be able to regain the strength of an Epic fighter….

Just as Mong was about to launch an attack, suddenly, he tilted his head toward the sky.

…

Two Griffin Knights were routinely flying from Fishing Port Town to Meister County City.

At this moment, they were nearly at Meister County City when suddenly, they noticed a large plume of dust rising from the noble district of the city.

This caused the two Griffin Knights to glance at each other and immediately become alert.

From their vantage point in the sky, it was clear that the dust affected a large area on the ground.

“Fishe, let’s go down and check it out.”

“Hmm! Viscount Philke, that seems to be Count Habs’ mansion. Could it have been attacked?”

Immediately, the two Griffin Knights maneuvered their griffins towards the source of the dust at high speed.

“It’s the Black Flame Cult!” Viscount Philke instantly saw the unmistakable robed figures and the… tall, hammer-wielding figure in front.

….

From the perspective of those on the ground,

suddenly, a powerful and majestic cry came from the sky.
