He walked toward Rein and said,
"Baron Rein, the ssenger just reported that Flashgold Town was attacked by a Bandit gang, and it seems several wealthy rchants' residences to the north of the city were also hit just now. I need to quickly arrange for reinforcents."
"As for here, I'll increase the frequency and intensity of the patrols."
Flashgold Town and other places were attacked as well?
Rein nodded and replied, "Viscount, please go ahead with your urgent matters. According to the current situation, the likelihood of another attack is not high. Plus, I'll be staying in the mansion."
After Viscount Hamadi left, the more Rein thought about it, the more he felt sothing was amiss. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
Firstly, the scars on the corpse of the guard were indeed claw marks, but the timing of the Bandit gang's attack was too coincidental.
Secondly, the Divine Arts chanism 'Detect Evil' in the room on the first floor of the villa had not been triggered, indicating that it was neither an evil being nor so kind of malevolent spirit.
Therefore, if it truly were a beast, it must be one controlled by a human!
Rein was virtually certain of this.
Moreover, the attacker's Strength was quite good, but their defensive power seed not to be very strong; just monts before, beside the body of a guard, he had noted a fallen scale the size of a fingernail with a pale green hue.
It seed to have been knocked off during the guards' onslaught.
Furthermore, the fact that the assailant chose to retreat in the face of the Night Watchman's ambush further supported this conclusion.
In that case... it seems... I might be able to...
An idea was forming in Rein's mind.
Late at night, Rein did not rest. Wearing a suit of water mbrane steel, he arrived at the open space in the front yard, but this ti without his two weapons on his back; instead, he began practicing Kadar Martial Arts.
He had left both weapons in the storage room in the front yard.
Half an hour later...
A transparent shadow quietly returned.
"Rein is practicing martial arts? Without carrying his weapons?"
Dennis repeatedly observed Rein in the front yard, who was indeed practicing martial arts.
Although he still felt sothing was off, at this mont, there seed to be an extrely violent Strength inside him that needed release.
Additionally, he always had a strong desire to kill the man before him in his heart.
The combination of the two made Dennis feel unbearably sick unless he acted!
In fact, this was due to the 'Shadow Thorny Lizard Mutation Serum' containing a special substance extracted from the ovaries of the shadow thorny lizard, which had a strong assimilative effect on the human body.
Now, not only was Dennis's body mutated, but his personality had also undergone a degree of transformation.
On the other hand, given the influence of the shadow thorny lizard's mutagen, the fact that Dennis could resist rushing forward for so long signalled the depth of Rein's shadow in his psyche.
No matter!
Even if I can't defeat him, my speed is good enough to escape! Dennis licked his lips with his forked tongue and secretly mused.
The next second, he rushed toward Rein like a translucent wisp of fog with a 'swish.'
Actually, as soon as Dennis arrived, Rein's level 3 'danger perception' had subtly warned him.
So, although Rein looked calm and his martial arts movents remained unchanged, his heart was gradually filling with joy.
He has finally co!
"Clang!!"
Sparks flew off the surface of the water mbrane steel gauntlets.
Rein firmly caught the attacker's claw.
Though he didn't have his Finger Tigers, wearing the water mbrane steel gauntlets ant there was not much difference, except that he couldn't perform the specialized technique 'Hundred Crack Strike' that required a blade.
Moreover, after the strike, Rein quickly deduced, as he had anticipated, that the monster was incredibly fast but not very strong.
"Swish! Swish! Clang!"
The two quickly exchanged blows.
Upon engaging, Dennis rejoiced.
Without his weapons, Rein's strength had dropped by more than a notch!
Indeed, there are no incorrect nicknas, only incorrect nas!
'The Hamr Baron,' without his hamr, was soone he could keep pace with in combat.
Imdiately, Dennis's confidence surged, and he began to attack Rein with full force.
This, of course, was all part of Rein's deliberate plan. From so of the battle traces, Rein had deduced that the opponent's Strength wasn't actually very strong, and he might be able to use the opponent as a 'martial arts training partner.'
Now that they had clashed, it turned out to be the case!
This was like an 'experience treasure' delivered to his door.
Not to take full advantage of this opportunity to shear a big bunch of wool from his opponent would be a shaful waste.
The guards on the side had already received Rein's instructions to stay alert and protect the family and were not required to join the battle.
So at this mont, they were watching the center of the front yard field, where a silvery blur and a translucent blur were exchanging blows at high speed.
The shrill sound of their clash occasionally rose!
And the ground would unexpectedly burst open with a small crater, with grass and plants breaking off like mown weeds.
But no matter how hard the guards focused their attention, they couldn't make out the specifics of the combatants' movents.
Dennis fought with growing excitent, sensing victory was within reach, for he had managed to strike Rein's left arm twice.
A thought suddenly sprang up in his mind.
If Rein weren't wearing this incredibly sturdy suit of iron, he would have been injured by now.
And he might have already killed Rein!
This thought excited Dennis trendously!
After all, even though his father beca a Great Knight, he had still lost to Rein!
