Chapter 475 - 257: Monster! Monster! (2)
And on one side of the banquet hall, Earl York, seeing Raine gaining the upper hand, was immediately delighted. At the same time, seemingly reminded of something, he shouted, "Don’t worry about me, go and stop them!"
The family guards, loyal and staunchly protective of Earl York, immediately dispatched four people to try to block Siegfried.
Seeing mere ants with Classes Level only at four or five daring to come up and block him, Siegfried felt a surge of anger.
"Group Withering Skill!"
In the midst of his swift movement, he raised his staff and pointed.
Four black misty clouds instantly enveloped the family guards.
And the four family guards rapidly shriveled up as if roasted over a fire, resembling mummified corpses.
"Ah!!"
With the shrill screams rising, it became clear to everyone the stark contrast in the situation. Raine’s resilience against Siegfried’s Erosion Spell attack, and the strength of his resistance to the Erosion Spell!
Giving the audience a relatively direct understanding of fights at the Extraordinary Level.
"Boom!"
With the Steel Boots landing, the ground cracked, and the distance between Raine and Siegfried shrank to just four or five meters.
"Vibration Wave!"
Without hesitation, Raine’s Warhammer slammed hard!
In an instant, the entire marble floor within the front fan-shaped area of nearly 20 meters shattered piece by piece, and was thrown into the air by an invisible force of vibration.
’Damn it!’
Siegfried’s face changed as alarm bells rang in his mind, forced to cast Blink again to escape the range of the Vibration Wave.
He no longer wished to continue fighting at this moment.
’Both Erosion Spell and Lightning Spell resistance are so high, how can this battle be fought?’
Against such a monster, even in the Realm of Light and Shadow where his Erosion Spell’s power increases by more than 30%, it’s useless...
’This kind of resistant freak is simply a Mage’s nemesis.’
’Grab the charged Necromancy Crystal and get out!’
As a Mage, with Siegfried’s rich combat experience, he naturally wouldn’t lose his reason out of anger and continue to fight Raine to the death.
But it was as if his landing point after blinking was predicted, Siegfried’s figure had just appeared in the hole at the top of the banquet hall.
Suddenly!
A buzzing sound came from behind.
He turned around abruptly.
Wide-eyed Siegfried saw the silver Warhammer flying towards him like a meteor.
"How did he know I was coming to this position?"
In a flash.
Siegfried had no time to erect his Erosion Shield.
The silver Warhammer Counterattacker slammed heavily into his chest cavity.
"Crack!!"
Accompanied by the dense sound of cracking ribs, the rectangular hammerhead of the Counterattacker almost entirely burrowed into his chest cavity.
Luckily, Siegfried had already stepped into the Transcendent, with greatly enhanced physical attributes. If a normal Mage below Transcendent faced Raine’s blow, in nine cases out of ten, they would lose their life.
Siegfried, gritting his teeth against the intense pain, pulled out a bottle of red Potion from his waist pouch, poured it frantically down his throat, and staggered to his feet, trying to rush towards the castle’s reception hall.
But at the next moment!
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blinding electric stream surging towards him.
Wasn’t this the Sixth Ring Level Lightning Spell ’Chain Lightning’?
Damn?
Siegfried’s expression was one of horror, desperately trying to flee.
But... metal conducts electricity.
Though there were still several meters apart, in an instant, nearly all the energy of the ’Chain Lightning’ current was absorbed by the handle of the Counterattacker embedded in Siegfried’s chest!
In a flash!
Siegfried trembled all over, his mouth crooked, his eyes bulging.
With a scent of burnt protein, Siegfried’s charred form fell straight down through the hole in the third-floor ground.
With a "pop!"
The crisp sound was like that of porcelain breaking.
Electrocuted Siegfried collapsed onto the banquet hall floor, with his burnt body shattering apart like a blackened water glass.
The entire banquet hall instantly fell silent!
Two Transcendents killed in succession??
Whether expert or novice alike.
Whether it was Earl York, Laisa, Aaron and his companions, or the nearby noble barons, ladies, and misses, at this moment, their eyes were wide open, a look of shock and surprise on their faces.
Especially those last two moves, even Laisa and Aaron, these adventurers at the intermediate professional level, couldn’t comprehend how Raine locked onto Siegfried’s position after he teleported.
"Whew~~"
Raine exhaled deeply.
Huh?
At this moment, he perceived a faint spatial fluctuation coming from the side door of the banquet hall.
The corner of his eye caught a fleeting red hem.
Was it Lilith?
Raine immediately turned to look.
But found that the other party seemed to have already teleported away.
Several hundred meters outside the castle.
On a bustling street in Warwick City, a slender, beautiful woman in a red robe was running desperately, muttering constantly:
"Monster! Monster!"
"Erosion Spell, extraordinary resistance...."
"Lightning Spell, extraordinary resistance..."
"How could there be such a monster!"
This caused passersby to cast curious glances.
As if puzzled why such a beautiful woman had gone mad?
...
Inside the reception room on the third floor of York Clan’s castle.
Jessica, lying on a leather seat, had her eyelids flutter slightly, then opened her eyes, immediately getting up and glancing around nervously.
She didn’t see Siegfried’s figure, but she saw the complex array in the room, and the black crystal floating in mid-air.
Compared to the beginning, the black crystal was now crystal clear, without a trace of imperfection!
"This... this is the Necromancy Crystal!"
"Siegfried this is.... I understand!"
Jessica’s face showed an expression of surprise, and she exclaimed softly.
At this moment, the outside window suddenly brightened, and Jessica turned her head to look, only to see a light-shadowing vortex in the sky quickly dissipating, revealing the sunset of dusk.
Meanwhile.
Inside the banquet hall.
The nobles of Warwick City, led by Earl York, along with noble ladies and misses, were warmly surrounding Raine.
"Mr. Rein, thank you very much for your assistance!"
"Indeed! Mr. Raine, if it weren’t for you tonight, we would have certainly faced danger." A buxom noblewoman with a strong perfume scent squeezed in, saying.
"Mr. Raine, you look so young, probably about the same age as me, right?" Another noble girl wearing a white feathered hat, her face slightly flushed, spoke with a charming demeanor.
Each one was as star-struck as fans in a past life seeing a celebrity.
....
Seeing this scene, Laisa beside them couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless, she turned to Aaron beside her and said, "You’re not going to do anything about this?"
"Well..." Aaron’s face reddened slightly, appearing embarrassed.
"Everyone, allow Mr. Rein some time to rest, let’s disperse!" At this moment, a dignified noblewoman holding a staff entered through the side door, it was the Countess Jessica.
Evidently, Countess Jessica held high influence among the noble ladies and misses, prompting them to disperse immediately.
"Jessica!" Earl York’s eyes lit up with joy, exclaiming.
"Mother!" Aaron also joyfully approached.
"I’m fine, this must be Mr. Rein." Jessica placed her staff on her chest, performed a mage’s salute, and smiled with gratitude.
"Yes! Mother, Father, this is Mr. Raine." Aaron quickly stepped forward to introduce.
After some pleasantries, and arranging for household servants and guards to clean the banquet hall, which looked as if it had been bombed, Raine and Laisa sat in the reception room with the York family.
By this time, the array on the reception room floor had already been closed by Jessica, but faint energy remnants still lingered.
"Mr. Rein, just now Siegfried was here, charging the Necromancy Crystal." As she spoke, Jessica took out a fist-sized black crystal from her waist pouch.
"Necromancy Crystal?" Raine raised an eyebrow, surprised as he looked at the black crystal in Jessica’s hand.
Raine didn’t know it well, but he remembered clearly that the Silver Battle Group’s ’Nightmare Blade’ was in the Lankote Snowfield Ice Lake, contending with the Soladin Kingdom for this exact item.
Unexpectedly, Siegfried also possessed this Necromancy Crystal.
Moreover, judging by Jessica’s tone, she seemed very knowledgeable about it.
This made Raine look curiously at Jessica, the Countess.
