Chapter 1255: Chapter 424: Secret Techniques Unleashed

[Mutated Dragon-man Fourth Form (Dragon Beast Form): After activation, the body will further transform into a Giant Dragon based on the Third Form. Immunity to middle rank toxins and disease effects, and immunity to witchcraft damage below one hundred and twenty degrees.]

(Note: Duration is positively correlated with bloodline concentration and constitution.)

“Dragon Beast Form?” Upon seeing these four words, Rein couldn’t help but feel a mixture of joy and worry.

“This… this transformation makes one increasingly inhuman, originally a Dragon-man, which could at least barely be considered human….”

“But now, the system describes it as a Dragon Beast?” Rein couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

However, when Rein read the system description stating ‘immunity to witchcraft damage below one hundred and twenty degrees,’ his heart was more joyful than worried.

“Previously immune to eighty degrees, now it’s one hundred and twenty degrees, which means generally witchcraft below Third Level from all series should be immune to me.”

“Forget it, whether person or beast, in this world, enhancing combat power is the most crucial.”

“Just like a great person said, whether black cat or white cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat.”

Feeling the changes within his body, although Rein wanted to try the new form—Dragon Beast Form, he also knew that the Dragon Valley Secret Realm might not tolerate even his Third Form, let alone the Fourth Form.

It’s estimated that once he transforms, he would be ‘squeezed’ out of the Secret Realm.

“My lord, the corpses have all been dealt with.” At this moment, Areda approached with a smile, reporting.

“Hmm, thank you for your hard work.” Rein smiled slightly, saying.

“By the way, Lord Baldwin, should we proceed immediately to the third location to set up the Rift Closer?” Rein turned and said to the nearby Military Department Captain Baldwin.

“Of course, Lord Rein, it’s over there, roughly thirty kilometers in that direction.” Baldwin pointed to the east, saying.

Rein nodded.

He knew the exact location of the third point, it’s southeast of Flame Mountain.

If they proceed from here, it would take approximately twenty-five minutes at their speed.

Immediately, the group of four, along with two Demon Statues, headed towards the second point.

…

Approximately ten minutes after Rein’s group left.

Suddenly, Lambert appeared at the scene, dressed in a simple linen coat with a Greatsword slung over his shoulder.

He first looked at the battle marks around, then paused in thought for a moment, his gaze lingering on four bodies burned into charcoal by the Dark Corrosion Technique.

“Indeed, it’s the residue of Metal Series witchcraft energy.”

“However, these three people seem to be from the Empire, how did they come into conflict with Rein?”

“Furthermore, what deep hatred does Rein harbor that would lead to the bodies being thoroughly corroded by Shadow Witchcraft?” Lambert puzzled internally.

Lambert naturally recognized that one of the four corpses belonged to a strong Cult member, because even though the body was destroyed, he could still discern its distinct leftover scent.

The other three appeared to be participants in the retest.

This certainly is interesting.

Additionally, oddly, all four bore wounds with traces of Metal Series witchcraft, implying they engaged in combat with Rein.

Even though there were traces of Shadow Witchcraft, it only indicated that either Rein had assistance or that Rein also wielded some Shadow Witchcraft.

Faced with several questions, Lambert found himself somewhat perplexed.

Nonetheless, he closed his eyes to slightly sense the degree of energy residue, while also bending down to touch the ground temperature with his finger.

“The departure time is approximately ten to fifteen minutes ago.”

“Moreover, there are two Demon Statues.”

“Quite prepared indeed…” Lambert said to himself, looking at the clearly marked large oval footprints on the ground.

After pondering for a while, Lambert gazed in the direction Rein’s group left, then suddenly pointed his toes, gliding swiftly like an arrow off the string in pursuit.

…

Meanwhile, Rein’s group, after casually clearing the few scattered blocking Fierce Species, smoothly arrived at the third point.

“Lord Rein, this is it.” Captain Baldwin glanced at the thin sheet in his hand, smiling as he turned to Rein.

“Alright.”

“Need my help?” Rein nodded, asking.

“No need, leave the rest to me; initiating the Rift Closer doesn’t require much spiritual power.” Military Department Captain Baldwin waved both hands, saying.

“Okay, I will leave it to you then, Lord Baldwin.” Rein smiled slightly, saying.

“It’s no trouble, it’s thanks to your help, Lord Rein.”

As Baldwin spoke, he swiftly opened the box containing the Rift Closer.

A rectangular device resembling a small engine was taken out.

Meanwhile, Baldwin retrieved a Crystal Stone emitting a strong energy fluctuation from the box, placed it inside.

As the Crystal Stone was installed, suddenly, a ring of light flashed across the Rift Closer, and immediately afterwards, it began floating slowly.

Seconds later, the Rift Closer seemed to cut into another space and started becoming semi-transparent.

This scene seemed somewhat similar to the ‘virtualization’ state of the Void Beast previously, also becoming semi-transparent like gelatin.

No, it should be said more thoroughly virtualized because now the device was entirely transparent…
