Chapter 730: Chapter 283: Fierce Battle (Two-in-One ga Chapter)_3
To avoid the enemy’s strategy of diversion, Cleya did not join the battle group, but continued to guard near the villa’s gate to primarily protect her father, Count Habs.
Just as Rein was starting to worry about the current situation,
Viscount Felk, a Griffin Knight who had fallen nearby, burst out from the ruins. His griffin had been severely injured, but he himself was virtually unhard.
He looked up and shouted at Fishe, a fellow Griffin Knight who was trying to evade in mid-air:
“Quick! Fishe, go inform Lord nia.”
“A cult legend has appeared in ist County City!”
Felk was certain that only a legendary warrior could have inflicted such damage on his griffin with a single strike.
Moreover, it was likely not just any ordinary legendary warrior.
It seed that the only one who could definitely defeat the opponent was none other than the ‘Red Queen’ Dragon Knight, Lady nia.
Seeing that his superior was unhard, Fishe’s face lit up with joy, and reacting imdiately to Felk’s shout, he spurred his griffin and soared into the sky, heading rapidly toward Fishing Port Town in the east!
Seeing Fishe go to deliver the ssage, Felk finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at that mont, when he focused on the scene, his eyes suddenly widened!
The very cult legend who had severely wounded his griffin was now being held off by Rein, whom Felk had seen once before, and the two were fiercely locked in combat that was too close to call!
At the sa ti, he also saw Langgeler and his team at a disadvantage.
After a mont of thought, Felk rushed into the fray alongside Langgeler and his companions.
After all, he doubted he could effectively intervene in the other two’s combat.
Since Felk was also a Peak Knight with substantial skills, his joining made it easier for Langgeler’s trio, gradually stabilizing the situation.
Mong, for his part, was not panicked at this mont.
Although the entire situation was tense, he was well aware that even the severely injured ancient hero, Mong himself, was far from showing his true power.
Rein would certainly not be a match for Lord Mong.
As long as his side could maintain an unbeatable position, they just needed to wait for Lord Mong to secure a victory and then they could eliminate these people altogether.
…
Rein exerted his full strength with every strike yet still found himself pushed back by the ancient hero Mong.
Though the gap between their strengths had narrowed significantly by this mont, it was still not easily bridged.
Every blow Mong delivered was compounded with will, raw force, montum, and a certain special energy, making it necessary for Rein to use the top secret technique ‘Annihilating Hamr’ just to barely fend off each assault.
If it were any other Peak Knight who had not mastered such a secret technique, they might not even be able to withstand a single hamr blow!
But Rein’s eyes grew brighter as the battle wore on!
Rein’s sharp awareness told him that this fight was entirely different from those with previous enemies.
This ti, he had to be fully focused with every strike he made, and with each block, he found himself either consciously or unconsciously summoning his ntal strength!
It was as if he were walking a tightrope over a vast abyss.
Rein had a feeling.
It was as though he, as a freshly forged rough iron block, was undergoing the relentless refinent of a skilled blacksmith!
Fighting a warrior of this caliber, Rein could faintly feel that every second was tempering his spirit, benefiting his will!
In that instant, he seed to understand how to improve his new attribute — ‘Will.’
However, Rein also realized that he could not keep retreating!
A long defense inevitably leads to defeat.
And the best defense is a strong offense!
Although at this mont Rein still had 5 attribute points left, which needed to be reserved for regaining strength, they could not be completely allocated to increase his Strength or Agility to reduce the gap in combat abilities.
But Rein had another solution to further narrow the gap.
He quickly invested 2 skill points into the ‘Beast Stamina’ icon on the legendary Beast Priest panel.
The icon’s image showed no change, still displaying the heads of Rein’s three battle pets: the eagle, dog, and horse.
But the small text at the bottom right had changed:
[Beast Stamina lv3 (Passive): As a Beast Priest inheriting from ancient trolls, you naturally possess the ability to draw vitality from your bonded pets, thereby enhancing your physical fitness and resistance.]
(Note: Level 3 can simultaneously receive the enhancent effects of all three types of pets under your command.)
(Note: This skill has a distance limit, effective only when pets are nearby, with the effective distance proportionate to your Spirit attribute.)
Previously, at level 1, only one pet’s effect was conferred, but now at level 3, it was distinctly three, a significant indication.
As Rein silently invoked Beast Stamina,
Instantly, he felt completely different!
The attribute panel displayed that Rein now had the combined bonus effects of [Dog’s Agility], [Horse’s Endurance], and [Horned Owl Beast’s Strength].
And since the black horse had evolved into a swift steed and the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle had also grown, all three enhancent effects had reached a 3 state!
Strength, physique, and agility all increased by three points, which nearly amounted to a 10% increase in combat power!
The counterattack imdiately began!
Upon clashing again, the ancient hero Mong realized sothing was off about Rein’s state; he felt energized as if injected with so vigor, and his strength had further increased slightly.
This infused Mong’s angry gaze with an additional ripple of emotion.
