....
Through the gates, Rein peered inside to assess the situation and quickly took in everything within the hall.
At the sa ti, he realized that it must have been his earlier roar that had alerted the enemies within the church!
Though his initial move had the setback of alarming the enemies, it also had the advantage of letting him know the situation within the church beforehand.
The strange ritual and the tendrils of dark mist made Rein highly wary.
Moreover, he noticed that the dense crowd of townsfolk inside the church hall couldn't hold out much longer.
Because Rein saw very clearly that those townspeople near the prayer altar had all collapsed, their condition unknown.
And as wisps of dark mist, alive like creatures, continued to spread around, even more townspeople began to fall.
After carefully counting the number of enemies in the hall, Rein was shocked.
"Two Black Fla monks and seven or eight Squires?"
This was a strong force indeed...
He hadn't expected the Black Fla Church to dispatch so many elites all at once.
However, he suddenly rembered the peculiar sensation he felt after the Giant Bear Sword Technique had improved.
It seed as though once the Giant Bear Sword Technique reached level 6, it had entered a new realm—as if previously he'd been occupied with familiarizing himself with the moves, but now, he had entered a mastery phase, where everything felt instinctive.
"In that case, it seems I might be up for a fight after all..."
While Rein was gauging the strength of his opponents, they were also observing the situation in the church square.
Especially the robed figure conducting the ritual, who, upon seeing Otis laying in a pool of blood, was visibly shaken, the person wobbled, and the mass of dark mist, as vast as an octopus, also beca unstable.
"What the hell is going on?" try roared inwardly.
"try, focus on the ritual. Leave the outside matters to !" said the robed figure with hands tucked in the sleeves, slowly erging from the corner and speaking to the Black Fla monk conducting the ritual.
"At once, Angel Envoy!" The Black Fla monk conducting the ritual responded respectfully.
Watching the person addressed as Angel Envoy slowly approach the gates, try felt a wave of relief.
"Heh heh! No matter how you've done it, eting the Angel Envoy ans you can only pray for your misfortune!"
"Soon, you will witness the terrifying power of the Angel Envoy!"
A smirk with a touch of schadenfreude crept onto try's lips.
At that mont, Rein was already charging towards the entrance of the church hall, followed by several officers, while the Night Watchn took up their bows and aid at the entrance.
The seven fully-ard burly n from within the hall were now rapidly coming to assist, eight in total, arrayed in two rows, firmly blocking the church hall entrance.
Rein scanned these n, and his enhanced perception as a 'Wizard Apprentice' told him that among them, only two had the strength of a Knight, while the rest were re Squires!
Needing to hurry and rescue the townsfolk, Rein swiftly decided on a strategy of swift and decisive combat!
As the burly n pulled out their hand crossbows and aid at Rein,
suddenly, a roar erupted!
Following it, a silver sword light surged at the entrance of the church!
When the sword light passed, the four n in the front were imdiately taken out.
But it didn't end there. With a stride, Rein's greatsword swept up, slicing through the armpit of a man in plate armor, a forearm still in its armor lofting through the air.
Imdiately after, Rein perford a Smooth Cleaving Slash, splitting the man diagonally from his shoulder down at a forty-five degree angle!
At this ti, the other three burly n finally snapped out of their shock from Rein's roaring strike, but the scene before them filled them with utter horror.
Five of their brothers had fallen in less than two seconds!
How the hell were they supposed to fight back!
With the sword light flashing again, Rein executed a Furious Slash, instantly killing the last Squire-strength bandit!
Now, the only ones still standing were two Knights, both already gravely injured.
Just as Rein was about to finish off these two as well, suddenly, a swift dark wave appeared before his eyes.
His level 3 'danger perception' went crazy with warnings, prompting Rein to instinctively guard himself with his greatsword.
"Clang!"
In an instant, he felt a hot black current, carrying a trendous force, slamming into him and sending him flying.
Because he had blocked the attack in advance, Rein felt the huge strength cause no real damage as he flew through the air.
However, the hot black current was rather peculiar!
Rein felt a sting on his exposed skin and saw that he had beco wrapped in fine strands of Black Fla, clinging like a pernicious disease.
At this mont, these strands of Black Fla were trying to break through his skin to attack his insides; even with the protection of his Transcendent trait 'Iron Skin lv2', it felt incredibly difficult to resist!
"Thump!"
Rein hit the ground hard!
At the sa ti, Rein heard screams nearby!
It turned out the attack hadn't only sent him flying but also several officers who had been charging in with him; they were also blown away. Since they hadn't had ti to react, their bodies bore deeper, bone-visible wounds compared to Rein's.
