Having finished off Garnis, Rein swung his heavy hamr in a backhanded motion, smashing it onto the venomous sea serpent that was biting him, instantly causing the serpent's eyes to glaze over with dizziness and collapse on the spot.
Rein then managed to extricate himself from the gaping maw of the venomous sea serpent.
However, by that ti, the extrely potent poison of the sea serpent had begun to take effect, and Rein could distinctly feel bouts of dizziness assaulting his brain.
Fortunately, Rein possessed the core skill of a Deadly Poison Master, 'Poison Resistant Constitution (Passive).' Otherwise, he might have fainted by now and died of poisoning in short order.
But the mont the venomous sea serpent had sprung from the water beside him, Rein had already thought of a way to deal with the problem.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked getting bitten by the venomous sea serpent to hamr the four-ard female Naga to death.
But now it was ti to deal with it imdiately, without any further delay.
Rein grabbed the head of the dazed venomous sea serpent in front of him and swiftly placed his hand on the massive head of the serpent, instantly employing the Beast Priest's signature skill—'Beastly Vitality.'
Imdiately, a surging and undulating warm current flowed from within the large, ferocious venomous sea serpent into Rein's body.
This warm current had the effects of restoring energy and healing wounds and brought with it a sensation of comfort several tis greater than that felt when soaking in a hot spring while fatigued.
Rein squinted his eyes, feeling the warm current rapidly circulating within his body, constantly battling against the poison's damage!
On one side was destruction, and on the other was repair!
Since the life force of a large, ferocious beast was incredibly strong, although Rein could only absorb up to thirty percent of the total life force of the venomous sea serpent, that still exceeded the total life force of an average Great Knight.
Soon, the poison could no longer withstand the warm current and began to slowly recede.
The remaining life force rapidly healed the nurous wounds on Rein's body, inflicted by Garnis's four weapons.
A few seconds later, when Rein stood up again, he was full of vigor, and his injuries had mostly recovered.
Had it not been for the majority of the warm current being used to offset the damage from the poison, his wounds could have completely healed by now, but even so, it wasn't far off.
Indeed, Legendary classes are extraordinary!
The core skill of Beast Priest, 'Beastly Vitality,' is comparable to a divine ability, not only restoring energy but also healing wounds.
This ti, Rein counteracted the venomous serpent's poison with his exceptionally high poison resistance, coupled with the life force he drained from it.
Rein looked down.
The venomous sea serpent was still alive but lay there listlessly, incapacitated and gasping for breath after being hit in the head with a hamr and having a significant amount of life force extracted; it could no longer move.
But Rein was not a rciful person, and imdiately sent out a 'Shockwave,' making an opening in the sea serpent's spiritual cover, letting it follow in the footsteps of the female four-ard Naga...
Master and servant, naturally tidied up together!
After the venomous sea serpent died, Rein could faintly hear a hissing noise near his ears, like a giant serpent flicking its tongue, subtly disturbing his mind.
Rein knew this was a side effect of using 'Beastly Vitality,' but if deployed only once in a short period, the effects were negligible.
In a few hours, the influence of the beast's spirit would dissipate naturally.
Furthermore, since he was at the other end of the hall, far away from Alyosha and the others, in the dim environnt, they could at most make out that he had bent down, likely mistaking his actions as searching for spoils of war and not realizing he had used so strange power to heal his injuries.
Without hesitation, Rein turned to rescue Alyosha and the other imperial colleagues who were also hanging.
However, just as he was turning around, Rein suddenly discovered.
Not far ahead of him was a long corridor of bluestone walls extending deep into the cave, and roughly a hundred ters away, there was an almost transparent, faintly glowing blue mbrane.
This mbrane seed to insulate sound!
Otherwise, Rein's two exceedingly loud 'Roaring Battle Crys' would have definitely carried over there.
Moved by curiosity, Rein imdiately squinted, focusing his gaze.
With the dim lighting, it was fortunate that Rein had Dark Vision, enabling him to peer through the mbrane and clearly see that there was another hall inside, with the sa style and materials as this one.
What shocked Rein was that at the far end of that hall appeared to be a bronze tal gate several tens of ters high, seemingly adorned with intricate patterns and designs.
Were those designs shells and conchs?
In front of the tal gate was an altar with an unknown purpose.
Around the altar stood a brazier at each corner, burning so sort of pale green fla, and in the middle was a seven or eight-ter-tall statue of a stone multi-ard Naga.
To Rein's surprise, those busy around the altar were humans, not fishn or Blood Curse Nagas.
Moreover, these humans' robes were embroidered with strange marine life designs such as hundred-eyed sea stars, giant thorned squids, and other ferocious sea beasts...
"Could this be the attire of the Sea God Sect?"
Rein recalled the general education courses he had taken, where the instructors had taught several typical Cult attire styles.
But then, Rein's ears twitched, as he heard noises of commotion and combat growing louder behind him.
