Chapter 76: Silent Roar

Elise’s beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly agape, and the incantation she was chanting unconsciously halted.

She wasn’t sure if it was a trick of her mind, but the Plate Armor Chest Plate that once seemed slightly loose on Raine now looked like a tight vest due to his bulging chest muscles.

Yet at this moment, this absurdly ill-fitting attire did not bring any amusement to Elise; instead, it gave her an indescribable sense of safety!

’Is this Mr. Rein’s true strength?’

’This is just too...’

Elise couldn’t find the words to describe the scene she was witnessing.

At the moment of being knocked back.

Raine decisively chose to use Gigantification.

Although he could only maintain the Gigantification for about a minute due to his current stamina, the fight would be impossible if both power and speed greatly lagged behind.

Prior to this, during his battle with the Deep Moss Spider, he could have gone all out to quickly end the fight, but he preserved most of his strength for any unforeseen events involving Miss Rogue.

Of course, this twist didn’t seem to be Miss Rogue’s intention, but to Raine, the result was the same.

A head-to-head battle was necessary!

"Whoa!"

Raine’s swelling form touched the cave floor prematurely.

As two deep imprints of Steel Boots engraved into the ground, Raine stood firm.

Facing the incoming dagger, Raine swung the black Obsidian Shield with an arm comparable to a thick wooden post!

"Shield Bash!"

Accompanied by a resounding ’clang’!

Under the Gigantification state, Raine’s power finally surpassed the opponent.

As the dagger skidded off the surface of the Obsidian Shield with a trail of sparks, the shield first knocked away the opponent’s dagger-holding left hand and then followed through, striking Miss Rogue’s chest hard.

It was the first time Laisa, in her out-of-control state, was hit by Raine’s counterattack, her body launched like a cannonball towards the rock wall.

"Bang!"

Laisa’s slender body slammed hard into the rock wall, causing a web of cracks to spread out.

Logically.

Even an Official Rogue.

Even with a Classes Level beyond Level 1.

Would be heavily injured by Raine’s full-force blow in Gigantification.

But the problem was.

Laisa, in her out-of-control state, seemed to have undergone some form of extreme physical enhancement, merely letting out a muffled groan and immediately adjusting her posture.

Luckily, Raine’s attack didn’t end there!

"Bang!"

A two-meter tall muscular figure flashed by, slamming the Obsidian Shield into the newly-landed Laisa.

Under Raine’s Barbaric Charge and Shield Bash combo.

Laisa was sent flying again like a ball, smashing into the rock wall behind her, causing large chunks to crumble and fall off.

At the same time.

Laisa’s cloak was torn to pieces by Raine’s powerful collision, revealing her tight Leather Armor.

Despite this.

Raine did not withdraw his shield but instead pinned Laisa against the rock wall with the Obsidian Shield as if pressing down a meat patty.

The Obsidian Shield’s punch-thick rhombic spike had already pierced halfway into her chest bone.

Just an inch deeper, Raine estimated, would inflict such a wound despite her extraordinary healing ability, it would surely leave her incapacitated.

But just as he was thinking this!

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, a massive force erupted from the other side of the Obsidian Shield, accompanied by a thunderous roar!

Even Elise, who was over ten meters away, couldn’t help but cover her ears, her face twisted in pain.

From the priest girl’s perspective.

As the female Wanderer Rogue suddenly threw back her head and roared, waves of powerful sonic shock waves seemed to sweep up transparent air currents, impacting the surroundings.

Even the robust Raine was pushed back half a meter, the ground carved with two-inch-deep furrows by his iron boots.

"Mr. Rein!" Elise quickly composed herself and began chanting.

As Raine gritted against the severe ear pain and resisted the mind-numbing brain tremors, looking past the shield’s edge.

He saw the opponent surrounded by several currents resembling black serpents, floating in mid-air, while two places beneath her arm and neck originally pierced by his shield spike were rapidly healing.

This kind of super-strong physique and healing ability should not belong to a Wanderer.

Even if her Classes Level reached Level 2, or even Level 3, she wouldn’t possess it.

"Sizzle!"

What shocked Raine further was the opponent’s hands, which had been holding the dagger, were now palm-up, holding two fist-sized black fireballs.

’Black Fireball?’

’Has she turned into a Caster?’

Just as Raine had this thought, the opponent’s attack began.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

The opponent threw two black fireballs in quick succession!

Their close distance meant the fiery tail of the black fireball still lingered on the opponent’s palm as it exploded against Raine’s Obsidian Shield!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Black flames splashed!

Raine felt two strong shocks from the left hand, nearly making it impossible to grip the Obsidian Shield!

Accompanied by a searing hot gust and an acrid stench!

Inside the Deep Moss Spider Cave, the dense white webs were instantly ignited and rapidly burned away, leaving a smell of charred protein.

But the more troublesome matter was the scattered black fire sparks didn’t extinguish immediately, and those few that landed on Raine’s Steel Boots began sizzling and corroding, infiltrating the surface.

’Not good!’

At this moment.

A condensed earthy-yellow energy surged from Raine’s feet, enveloping Raine tightly like an external armor of fine sand grains.

The scattered black fire sparks meeting the earthy-yellow energy instantly vanished like snowflakes under the blazing sun.

It was Elise’s Divine Art Stone Skin Protection.

But in that next moment.

Raine didn’t have a chance to breathe before his face changed dramatically!

He saw the female Wanderer Rogue angle her head towards his back, then with a light tiptoe, shot towards Elise as if flying!

Her palm-up hands continued forming two black flames.

Seeing this, Raine immediately realized that Elise’s Divine Art had drawn attention.

In a flash!

"Barbaric Charge!"

A robust figure with a shield instantly loomed before the priest girl, then slammed into the floating female figure.

"Die!!"

Raine for the first time unleashed Silent Roar!

A circular transparent ripple expanded from him explosively.
