Chapter 174 - 137: Hurry Over Here! (Part 2)

The next moment, as he silently chanted in his heart, an earthy yellow light immediately locked onto and wrapped around Aiel’s transformed body.

In an instant!

Aiel felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been added to him, with each step as if he was advancing through waist-deep mire.

This feeling of being trapped in a swamp made Aiel’s expression change immediately!

At this moment, he was both shocked by the sudden second-level spell that seemed to be an ’Earth Binding Spell’ and puzzled by the casting that happened without warning.

Aiel was certain that he hadn’t heard any spells.

Nor had he seen any spellcasting gestures from the other side.

He hadn’t seen Raine take out and tear open a scroll either.

Could it be instant cast?

But how is that possible?

Raine couldn’t possibly be a Mage who also mastered Super Magic Instant Cast Spell, could he?

Unbeknownst to Aiel, if Raine, who had a bloodline table, used a monster skill, it would indeed be instant!

No spell, gesture, or medium required.

"Bang!!"

Raine once again kicked, his steel boot hitting Aiel’s soft abdomen.

Because he was in a gigantification state, Raine’s power had greatly increased.

This kick actually folded Aiel in half!

His hands and feet pointed forward while the spot on his waist that was hit protruded backwards with great effort, his entire body resembling a folded white sheet of paper.

"Bang!!"

Aiel was like a cannonball flying backward, smashing heavily into the castle’s outer wall made of hard stone blocks.

Even these hard stones seemed to struggle to withstand the violent impact just now.

Dense, web-like cracks spread outward from the center at Aiel’s back.

Large sections of small shattered rocks and gravel sifted down...

....

Witnessing this scene, in a room on the third floor of the castle, where he had originally been groping a voluptuous maid while watching the fight below, Shapeshifter Viss jumped up in shock.

As the wine glass in his hand accidentally shattered upon hitting the ground with a ’crash’, spilling red liquid everywhere, he came back to his senses.

He pushed the maid away and began fumbling hurriedly to fish out the communication crystal from his pocket.

"Miss Lilith, you need to come here quickly!"

Viss said in a panic.

"Mr. Aiel is about to fall apart!"

On the other side.

Hearing Viss’s urgent and anxious voice coming from the communication crystal, Lilith had no intention of getting up.

With a charming smile still on her beautiful face, she lay leisurely on a reindeer-hide chaise lounge, sipping the red wine in her glass, speaking in a frivolous tone.

"Oh? Let me guess."

"That Raine is The Chosen of God."

"So, Aiel was beaten into a crushing defeat by some powerful Divine Art or some kind of trump card from the opponent?"

"Hehe~"

Originally, Lilith’s plan was to use this suddenly emerging, unknown young man Raine to trap Aiel.

If successful, the position of the Talin Association’s head in Dorne City would undoubtedly fall to her.

As for the life and death of that idiot Aiel, what did it have to do with her?

Even if Lord Siegfried asked, it wouldn’t be her concern.

After all, Aiel took it upon himself to deal with Raine because Gray Dwarf Commander Thorne was killed.

Failing would only prove his own incompetence!

Of course, she still had to help save Shapeshifter Viss’s life.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to Lord Mentar.

"Yes! No, not exactly!"

Hearing Lilith’s words, Viss was first stunned, but then quickly said.

"There are two groups of people! Both came to rescue him."

"One group is our organization’s archenemies, the Harpers Alliance!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Lilith was slightly astonished, immediately getting up, the V-neckline of her white high rise swaying under the red mage robe.

"I’ll teleport over immediately."

Lilith instantly made a decision.

If it were just Raine and Aiel fighting to the death, she naturally wouldn’t hurry, taking her time to reap the benefits afterward.

But now that the Harpers Alliance is involved, the situation is different.

She needed to hurry to rescue that fool Aiel.

....

Meanwhile, at the third-floor staircase of the castle, the three women, seeing Raine dominating the fight in the plaza, finally relaxed their tense hearts.

"I told you! Mr. Raine will surely win!" Elise said excitedly, pumping her small fists.

Reya glanced at Elise, seemingly trying to determine whether her best friend had fallen for Raine, or...

Was she just infatuated with Raine’s powerful strength, becoming a little fangirl?

There’s still a fundamental difference between the two.

The latter is merely worship, but the former...

Laisa blinked, somewhat amazed that in less than a month since she’d last seen him, Raine’s strength seemed to have taken a giant leap.

She remembered that previously, when the two teamed up to fight a Challenge Level 3 Frost Blade Leopard, Raine was far from being as strong as he was now.

But now, Raine’s strength could definitely treat the Frost Blade Leopard like a cat.

"Huh? What’s that..."

Suddenly, Laisa saw a flash of light from a room on the third floor of the castle not far ahead.

It seemed to be a reflection from some kind of crystal illuminated by sunlight.

She looked intently.

Through the window of that room, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic clothing, holding something shiny, his face anxious, his lips moving rapidly as if speaking hurriedly.

"Reya, is that your father, no, is it that Shapeshifter?"

Laisa tugged Reya’s hand, pointed across, and quickly asked.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Laisa’s question, Reya and Elise immediately looked up.

"Yes! It’s it!"

Reya was stunned, excited.

With just one glance, Reya determined that the other was that Shapeshifter, because her father would never have such an unseemly expression.

"No, I must..."

"Wait, didn’t Mr. Rein say to wait here?" Elise quickly pulled her close friend, stopping her.

This made Reya hesitate a bit.

Raine’s previous admonition was not without reason.

But the problem is, the one being held captive is her father, and he’s most likely just in the room nearby.

At this moment, she really couldn’t wait any longer...

"Reya, Elise, stay here, I’ll go check it out first. If there are no traps, we’ll act to rescue Reya’s father."

Laisa glanced at Reya, who looked conflicted and struggling, and spoke up proactively.

"Hmm... I’m an assassin, if there are traps, I can spot them immediately."

"This..." The two girls exchanged a glance, then looked at Laisa with concern.

"Don’t worry!"

"Alright, Miss Laisa, please be careful!"

....

Inside the castle courtyard.

Raine’s counterattack was not yet over.

He could clearly see the yellow glow representing the Earth Binding Spell on Aiel rapidly weakening.

Apparently, the opponent’s White Dragon Mage constitution resulted in extremely high resistance.

And his Monster Skill from the Wild Boar Shaman—’Earth Binding Spell,’ on the opponent lasted potentially only half of the normal duration.

Even, only one-third.

"Whoosh!"

Thus, a silver-gray Shield-bearing figure rushed over like a falling meteor.

"Boom!!"

Just as Aiel looked up, he saw a gray shadow approaching!

There was no time to dodge, all he heard was his own ribs making ’crackling’ snapping sounds under the impact of a dark Shield!

And...

The intense pain that followed almost made him faint!

Aiel himself was nearly slammed into the castle’s stone outer wall by Raine, firmly embedded in the wall.

"Poof~~"

His eyes were completely bulged out, and he spat mouthfuls of blood intertwined with faint blue streaks...

"Seems you’re not fast enough."

Raine said calmly.

Meanwhile.

Inside a room on the third floor of the castle.

With a dazzling blue light flashing, a lady wearing a red Mage robe, gracefully poised, with a stunning appearance, emerged from a Teleportation Array.

And beside her, the Shapeshifter Viss, glanced swiftly over her exquisite curves, swallowed, and quickly pointed outside the window:

"Miss Lilith, he’s just down there in the courtyard."

"If you had come any later, you’d only be collecting Aiel’s corpse."

"Hmm?"

"Didn’t Aiel just receive a White Dragon’s Blood as a reward from the organization?"

"Hasn’t he absorbed it?"

Though Lilith spoke with some disdain, her heart slightly tightened, and she quickly moved to the window.

What met her eyes was Raine, raising a Cold Steel Warhammer, about to smash it down on Aiel’s head.

Aiel’s miserable state caused Lilith a moment of stunned silence!

But right after.

Coming to her senses, she swiftly extended a pale hand, gripping towards the ground below!
