The man in the black robe was nad Samue, a high-ranking priest of the Mother Tree Sect, tasked with defending this area. Having just been promoted to a Third Rank Evil Sorcerer during a prayer ritual, he was quite content with himself.
If all the sect’s actions went smoothly this ti, he estimated that his power could rise further, and perhaps he might beco a regional leader of a province.
Initially, when he discovered soone rapidly approaching through the Evil Magic Array, Samue didn’t really pay much attention.
It wasn’t until several waves of flesh and blood creatures failed to stop the intruder that he realized the opponent’s strength was considerable. However, having just been promoted, Samue naturally wouldn’t retreat without a fight.
Yet, standing before the opponent now, he realized he might have underestimated how troubleso this young man could be!
Just as he was about to ask, "Who are you?" he suddenly saw in front of the young man, a rapidly spinning silver tal ring appeared.
The silver tal ring had a diater of over two ters and emitted a buzzing sound as it spun at high speed!
Simultaneously, strong energy fluctuations of tal particles spread out. Clearly, this was an advanced and rare tal Series Witchcraft, but the problem was that Samue didn’t hear any chanting from the opponent.
In the next second, the silver tal ring suddenly disappeared, and a warning bell in Samue’s heart resounded like a gong.
"Damn!"
Samue imdiately understood he had encountered a tough opponent this ti!
He cursed inwardly and, in a panic, rolled sideways to dodge.
Next, with his hair standing on end, Samue saw a blurred silver ring cut through the air, narrowly missing the hem of his robe still hanging in place.
Instantly, bits of fabric drifted down, and soon after, he heard a ’chh’ sound from the large tree behind him, embraced by two others!
Even without turning back, Samue knew the tree behind him must have been split in response.
Despite being shocked, Samue reacted quickly, imdiately casting innate wizardry and a kind of praying evil magic.
A blood-colored light film suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, followed by a layer of thick defense resembling dried tree bark.
"Crash! Crackle!"
At this mont, the sound of trees falling and nurous branches snapping rang out from behind Samue!
"Luckily I dodged, almost got hit! Damn!"
Just as Samue’s heart settled but was still furious with Rein for such an unannounced attack.
As he straightened up, intending to counterattack, Samue suddenly felt a stab of pain from his lower body. Looking down, he saw a silver ring seed to erge from below him and return to the young man’s front.
"Huh? Ca out from beneath ? This thing can return?"
"But don’t I have Tree Bark Defense and Flesh Light as protection? Why didn’t they work?"
"How is this possible..."
With an incredulous expression, Samue focused his gaze and imdiately saw the black robe cut at the thigh root, falling to the ground as a bloodline seeped from the exposed thigh.
"Ah!!!"
Understanding what had happened, Samue scread in agony!
With his legs severed by the Sawtooth Ring, he could stay balanced if he didn’t move. But in a panic, he fell heavily with a ’thud,’ and his upper body slamd into the ground, with his standing legs collapsing afterward.
"Ah!!!"
Samue lay on the ground, wailing in despair!
Not far away, Rein looked calm. He waved his hand, withdrew the newly mastered Third Level tal Series Witchcraft, ’Sawtooth Ring,’ and walked over slowly.
...
Minutes later.
Rein obtained the first-hand intelligence from this Mother Tree Sect priest nad Samue.
He frowned slightly, arms crossed in thought.
"So, the incident in Ferdinand Forest really is a grand feast. Not only have most cult organizations co to get a piece of the action, but several human slave capturing teams are participating as well."
"Coordinated by the Mother Tree Sect, various cults have roughly divided up the region, except for Ferdinand City, and the Secret Snake Sect ended up with Basaran Town."
"Using long-lived and powerful Pure-blood Elves as sacrifices to receive a special blessing of the Divine’s descent, huh?"
"No wonder it attracted so many cults. Such a speed of strength enhancent is almost a system bug."
Rein couldn’t help shaking his head slightly in amazent.
Knowing the intelligence, Rein naturally wouldn’t leave Samue alive.
"Splat!"
The Hardened Essence Gold in his hand instantly morphed into a sharp thrusting sword, piercing directly into Samue’s head and quickly returning to its original shape.
Though Rein knew the core stronghold of the Mother Tree Sect’s massive Evil Magic Array beneath him was about thirty kiloters away, he chose not to destroy it. Instead, he, along with Qu Qi, hurried toward Basaran Town!
This was because, according to Samue’s account, the Secret Snake Sect followers assigned to Basaran Town had already left a day and a half earlier.
Though Rein had confidence in Lambert’s strength, that was at the Legendary Level. Now, with epic-level foes among the enemies, the situation was uncertain.
If viewed from above through Blood Feather’s perspective, one would see Rein’s movent was rather unique.
His overall movent path, if connected, would form a zigzag pattern, avoiding all the giant trees ahead. This way of moving seed roundabout but didn’t collide with any trees, and his speed was actually faster than charging straight through.
