Chapter 1470: Chapter 505: Secrets of the Ruins (Part 2)

”Boom!”

Suddenly, Rein unexpectedly shot up like lightning, landing a kick on the opponent, sending them into the air. Immediately after, the Red Dragon’s Head followed with a Fiery Breath.

”Hiss~”

The opponent thrashed painfully in mid-air, swinging their scythes and roaring, but appeared powerless against the scorching and invisible flames.

”Clang!”

Just as the flames were about to subside, a massive dragon claw suddenly emerged from the fire, hacking down heavily at it again!

”Crack!”

In the frantic moment, the Black Mist Claw Monster swung up a scythe to block, but after being seared by the Fiery Breath, its black scythes could no longer withstand the powerful slash of Rein’s dragon claw and were cut down instantly.

The opponent was also slammed into the metallic corridor floor.

”Void Breath!”

After a triple combo, Rein followed up with a Void Breath, then rushed over, targeting the Black Mist Claw Monster struggling on the ground with another left and right dual claw strike!

The following fight left no suspense!

After Rein unleashed multiple breaths, the Black Mist Claw Monster finally stopped roaring, curling up its limbs, its form like a dried-up infant.

”Snap!”

As Rein stomped down with one last step, the opponent’s shriveled body shattered like coal into pieces!

”Is it finally dead?”

”Whew~~”

Rein let out a deep breath, having used up a total of three attribute points in the fight, essentially restoring his stamina three times.

The old dragon form was indeed formidable, with a noticeable increase in combat power, but it also consumed more stamina.

At that moment, Rein’s cracked wounds were rapidly healing, his battle with the Black Mist Claw Monster wasn’t without harm.

Previously, before the opponent was destroyed, tendrils of black smoke clung to Rein’s wounds like a bone-chilling virus, hindering his body’s self-healing. But as the opponent was vanquished, the black smoke began to dissipate rapidly.

”No gain like a Divine Power Crystal from this?”

Rein didn’t immediately search the human wizard’s remains for items but instead waited for his body to heal quickly while frowning in thought.

Originally, he guessed whether the black mist could be an avatar of some Evil God, but if it were, after defeating it, based on previous experiences, the system should trigger a relevant absorption prompt.

Interestingly, having just killed this monster formed by the black mist, which Rein named the Black Mist Claw Monster, there was no absorption prompt from the system.

Of course, the rewards of Golden Skill Points remained generous, as Rein gained 196 Golden Skill Points from just that battle.

”So, it seems the opponent is likely not a divine avatar but some sort of evil entity? Or perhaps a bizarre phenomenon caused by some Divine Power?”

”It seems only then the system would not be able to absorb it.” Rein vaguely speculated.

But... these were mere speculations.

Moreover, feeling the opponent’s strength, Rein abandoned his idea of continuing to explore the next level.

In his view, the opponent’s strength, even surpassed the combined power of Sword Saint Terrio and Water Element Dawn Wizard Hernandez.

It was foreseeable that as the black mist grew denser below, with monsters appearing more frequently, the dangers could be immense.

Rein shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it further.

He quickly walked toward the human wizard’s corpse, stopping two or three meters away, cautiously using the Metal Morphing Spell to transform a thrusting sword to prod the body a few times.

After confirming there was no danger, Rein then bent down, quickly searching the body.

Soon, he found a pendant on the other’s chest.

This pendant had a fine golden chain, with a rhombic crystal pendant below. Rein didn’t sense any energy fluctuations, suggesting it wasn’t a powerful witch artifact.

After a brief thought, Rein stored it away first, then continued searching.

This time, he felt a hard square object inside the inner pocket of the wizard robe, took it out, and found it to be a black diary, its appearance somewhat familiar.

”Huh? This material is almost identical to the black leather diary seen inside the Valziger School’s safe.” Rein couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling quite pleased.

”Could it be, this is the Sect Leader himself?”

Although it was not safe here, Rein still decided to quickly take a glance.

He swiftly turned to the last few pages of the diary:

”...Damn, I don’t know whether anyone will get this diary, but in any case, I have to write something...”

”To those who come later, chances are I’m already dead when you read this.”

”...But if I had another chance, I’d still come here! Because apart from containing the Ancient Goblins’ mechanical results, there’s a secret known only to a very few!”

”A secret of particular importance to me and all Metal Series Wizards!”

”That is, the Ancient Goblin Empire was the earliest source of the Steel Heart Meditation Method!”

”In other words, to obtain the full version of this Advanced Meditation Method, you must come here to find it. Of course, if you belong to other schools or aren’t a wizard, I still beg you to spread this news, or even sell it out.”

”Trust me, Metal Series Wizards would definitely be willing to pay a price that satisfies you for this secret!”
