Chapter 1254: Chapter 423: Fourth Form_3

In the blink of an eye, Ailida’s beautiful eyes lit up, and the rotation of her battle blade sped up suddenly.

“Siz!”

Bronson was cut in half by her blade, and at the same time, her opponent’s fist penetrated through her shadow shield, hitting her backward a few meters.

Although she took a hit, Ailida’s face showed joy!

“Lord Rein’s attack methods are indeed effective!” Ailida thought to herself, delighted.

Seeing this, Rein couldn’t help but smile.

“This Ailida, such fast learning ability.” Rein thought.

Meanwhile, the parasitic body, having been severed, expelled a jellyfish-like entity from the top of the opponent’s head.

Immediately, it crawled rapidly towards the distant corpse of Pearce like the previous creature.

However, it was destined not to succeed.

Seeing her sister hit by a punch, Areda was filled with anger and reacted swiftly.

She immediately released a Shadow Impact towards the opponent, a beam of black light hitting the translucent void beast.

“Siz!”

Once out of its parasitic host, the void beast’s defensive power seemed quite low.

The void beast, struck, suddenly vanished into nothingness, turning into wisps of gray smoke. However, everyone could feel an intangible wave spreading outward from its center.

After Rein took action, in just a few seconds, two void beasts were annihilated.

Perhaps seeing its companions killed, the parasitic Barnes suddenly went somewhat berserk.

He suddenly underwent virtualization, with a transparent wave radiating from him, causing the surrounding vegetation to wilt.

Rein and Ailida swiftly dodged this aura-like special ability of the opponent.

However, Rein’s counterattack came quickly!

He pointed at the opponent, unleashing the liquidation kill move ‘Metal Cutting Net!’, while Areda from afar also released a Shadow Impact towards Barnes!

As three metallic nets sliced through the jelly-like translucent body in rotation, despite the void beast’s immunity to most witchcraft damage, it still suffered heavily.

But Barnes disregarded it, charging towards Rein.

Next second, his chest suddenly expanded, and his neck swelled.

“Hmm?”

Being proficient in Dragon Roar, Rein immediately understood what the opponent intended to do.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, using Shadow Step to dash forward, and lightning-fast, he raised his hand, striking Barnes’ chin.

In the next instant, a transparent beam slanted upwards, shooting into the sky, instantly piercing a towering tree ahead, which quickly blackened.

But this attack seemed to have consumed considerable energy from the opponent; unable to sustain the virtualization state, he began transitioning from virtual to real.

Suddenly, an iron fist hit Barnes’ skull, almost simultaneously, a battle blade from above slashed into Barnes’ head.

The iron fist was naturally Rein.

And the battle blade was from Ailida, who had long been waiting for this chance.

This made Rein give Ailida a slight smile.

At this moment, a jellyfish-like monster larger than the previous two was expelled from Barnes’ head, intending to flee in panic.

But it was merely a pipe dream.

As a black light flashed, the last void beast turned to ash.

Watching this scene, Rein was thoughtful.

“It seems, the strength of these void beasts also varies….”

….

At the same time.

In the command hall on the second floor of the Star Mage Platform in Imperial City Tamriel.

Having watched the battle between Rein and the three hosts, everyone appeared pensive.

General Augustus first asked: “Have the combat methods and special abilities of the three hosts been recorded?”

“All recorded, sir.” Tatia nodded and replied.

“Good. Immediately instruct the combat planners to analyze possible weaknesses of the opponents, and promptly inform other execution personnel inside the secret realm, alerting them to be wary of corpses after death.”

“After defeating the enemy, it’s best to destroy the bodies.” General Augustus quickly issued two orders.

“Understood, sir.”

“By the way, do you think Rein’s handling method could be promoted?” Suddenly, Marshal Alfred asked Augustus.

“Uh… I think the possibility of promotion is not high, or rather, only a few can achieve Lord Rein’s level.” Augustus shook his head and said.

“Most of the execution personnel are Wizards, with Titled Knights being fewer, and those capable of close-combat responses reaching Lord Rein’s level are even rarer.”

Augustus added a sentence.

Marshal Alfred nodded and said nothing more.

“Tatia, notify Lord Rein about the siege…”

Just as Augustus began to speak, he was interrupted by Marshal Alfred, who said: “Wait, let me handle it.”

Augustus was taken aback.

It’s known that as the highest commander on site, the marshal almost never personally contacts every mission execution personnel.

“Understood, Marshal.” Tatia, also surprised, nodded.

Marshal Alfred took the thin piece of metal that Tatia respectfully handed over and said:

“Lord Rein, this is Alfred.”

Upon hearing “lord,” General Augustus raised his eyebrows slightly, and Major General Tatia confirmed a certain guess inwardly.

Clearly, Lord Rein’s performance has deeply impressed Marshal Alfred.

In the entire empire, few are addressed as lord by Marshal Alfred, and even fewer within the Imperial Swordsmen system.

“Marshal?” Rein was slightly surprised upon hearing Alfred’s voice.

“It’s me. Lord Rein, I have a rather arduous task I wish to assign to you.”

“Marshal, please go ahead.” Rein responded solemnly.

“I assume you’ve seen the communication earlier; the Nether Sea Goddess has entered the secret realm. Although her purpose is unknown, we cannot allow her free roam inside.”

“I’ve already dispatched two task squads, Inner Guard and Swordsmen, to siege. However, I am still a bit worried, so I hope you can swiftly assist after successfully deploying the Rift Closer.”

“Should I set up the Rift Closer first, then go for support?” Rein confirmed again.

“Yes, try to complete the Rift Closer setup within half an hour. As for the gathering point location, I’ll have Tatia send it to you shortly. Any issues?”

“None.”

…

After ending the call, Rein couldn’t help but look north, about to engage with the Nether Sea Goddess Hela once more, stirring a certain excitement within him.

It wasn’t fear, but rather a hidden anticipation, excitement…..

However, he still had one task to accomplish.

Nearby, Baldwin and the Areda sisters were destroying bodies, while Rein moved next to the improved Hellfire Demon Statue, took out the last box, and extracted the test tube containing Barnes’ Blood Essence.

As he submerged his index finger into it, the system prompt sounded again:

[Ding! Host detected touching special Blood Essence, discovered some absorbable Dragon Gene Segments, absorb?]

(Note: Absorbing Dragon Gene Segments can enhance host’s Dragon Bloodline Concentration.)

“Indeed, unlike Reagan and Bronson, Barnes, who possesses a Second Stage transformation ability with Red Dragon Bloodline, the system used ‘some’ instead of ‘few.ʼ” Rein was delighted inwardly.

“It seems, this time might be a chance…”

Without hesitation, Rein immediately chose “Yes!”

…..

However, unlike last time, this time after absorbing, the system prompt flooded the screen:

…

[Congratulations, your Mutated Dragon Bloodline Concentration has increased to ‘High Grade’!]

[Congratulations, under the influence of Bloodline Power, you’ve unlocked the Fourth Form of Mutated Dragon-man (Dragon Beast Form)!]

….
