Chapter 873: Chapter 319: Armor-Breaking Strike (Two-in-One Long Chapter)_2

As for the unfamiliarity, it’s due to the power. Rein’s power has risen too quickly; she feels that even Aunt Delana wouldn’t be a match for Rein now. But how long has Rein been a Transcendent?

It feels too unreal!

Meanwhile, the people around quickly noticed that this girl, though not particularly beautiful, but possessing rare nature witchcraft, seemed to have an inexplicable feeling for Lord Reine.

Because when she looks at Rein, the shine in her beautiful eyes, anyone can understand the meaning behind it.

Since everyone here are Sword Bearers, there are distinctions in their levels, but usually, they’ve met each other a few times, considered familiar, upon seeing this, they couldn’t help but chuckle and whisper among themselves.

After all, gossip about big personalities is quite the topic for relaxation after battle.

“Hey~ Angus, what’s the relationship between her and Lord Reine?” a curious young lad gossipingly asked.

“Yeah, I thought Lord Reine liked that red-haired beauty in your team.” Upon hearing the question, another person asks energetically.

“You mean Evelyn?” Angus realized, and said.

“How do you know Lord Reine doesn’t like both?” another said.

“This…” suddenly the first person thought his companion’s point had merit.

“Well, if I have Lord Reine’s power, I’d want them all if I liked them.” After thinking for a moment, the young person patted his head, nodded, and agreed.

“Hahaha, dream on!” Those around couldn’t help but burst into laughter!

…

At this moment, Rein was alone, facing the boundless sea, contemplating.

Rein recalls the battle with Celinis.

He realized that with the ‘Soul Shatter Strike’ at the start, it was like an early seal on victory.

True damage bypassed the opponent’s triple witchcraft defense and body defense, directly impacting the opponent’s soul, catching them off guard, causing serious injury.

This meant that what he faced later wasn’t a fully strong Senior Legend but one heavily injured.

“No wonder, it felt like the opponent’s power wasn’t particularly strong.” Rein showed a hint of realizaton.

However, Rein didn’t find any issue with using the ‘Soul-shattering Warhammer’ as a trump card to gain the opening advantage and then kill the opponent.

After all, whether it’s the Knight Path or the Wizard’s Path, he’s been learning for a short amount of time; battles don’t inherently have fairness.

What Rein was particularly curious about was the previous changes in the system regarding bloodline descriptions.

When he upgraded the Fire Dragon Breathing Technique to lv18, a warning of insufficient concentration reappeared regarding the Dragon Bloodline, meaning he needed to find a way to acquire more Dragon blood or… egg essence, to further enhance himself.

Additionally, in the Dragon Bloodline (Weak), the effect added “Water Element affinity increase” in its description.

“This is interesting.”

“Does it mean because the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon is primarily a water attribute Dragon, the system absorbed related genetic fragments?”

“In this case, doesn’t it mean that if I find different system Dragons or Dragon Descendants and obtain their essence blood, I can enhance all system element affinities?”

“That would be amazing!”

Yet soon, Rein shook his head, dismissing the idea that seemed unrealistic for him at the moment!

“After all, obtaining the Sea Dragon Egg this time had an element of luck involved. Truly wanting to get Dragon blood or egg essence wouldn’t be easy.”

Thinking about it, Rein refocused his attention on the recently enhanced Lance of Langicero.

Currently at lv9, with a bit more improvement, using the ‘Intermediate Weapon Mastery’ talent, he can prematurely grasp the secret technique.

Since everyone is resting, Rein didn’t hesitate and instantly invested a skill point into Lance of Langicero.

Upon investing one skill point, instantly, a memory flood regarding Lance of Langicero rushed into Rein’s brain.

The system prompt followed:

[Congratulations, you have comprehended Lance of Langicero’s Basic Secret Technique: Armor-Breaking Strike!]

…

“Armor-Breaking Strike! Not bad!”

“Now, it’s just one last Extraordinary Battle Technique secret technique left; once completed, it will fulfill the requirements for transitioning to the Epic Level Profession ‘King of Thousand Blades’.

Rein looked at the above prompt, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, his entire being quite excited.

“Just one step away!” Rein remarked.

Simultaneously, on the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel, Rein noticed a new icon directly above ‘Lance of Langicero’.

The icon depicts a tall, fully armored man riding a warhorse, holding a long riding spear.

The man is riding the warhorse rapidly, the spear in his hand piercing forward at a speed seemingly able to tear through the air.

Along the sides of the riding spear are several wavy lines, depicting the turbulence of airflow when thrust.

To the lower left of the icon is the text explaining the secret technique ‘Armor-Breaking Strike’:

Armor-Breaking Strike (Basic Secret Technique) Effect: Uses a special riding spear attack incorporating Original Force combined with piercing power to deliver a shot of tremendous penetration power.

(Note: If a suitable mount is available to assist in charging, the power of Armor-Breaking Strike will be enhanced.)

(Upgrade Armor-Breaking Strike to Intermediate Secret Technique requires meeting the following conditions: 1. Lance of Langicero lv14 or above (specialization can offset some level requirements); 2. Fire Dragon Breathing Technique lv12 or above; 3. Strength 38 points, agility 35 points, constitution 35 points or above; 4. Consume 1 Golden Skill Point.)
