Chapter 594: Chapter 249: Impossible Task (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

“Moreover, we’re in the dark about the situation inside the cave. There are a fair number of fishmen specialized in net throwing stationed at the entrance of the cave. I tried just now, but there was no chance to get a clear view,” said Viscount Felk.

“So, I don’t recommend you go right now. Heading over now is no different from courting death,” added Viscount Felk.

Rein didn’t say a word.

What Felk said wasn’t wrong.

But the problem was, this was a rescue mission. If he delayed too long and Alyosha, the target of the mission, died, then this mission would be meaningless.

Besides, he was different from the other Great Knights.

His confidence came from the 13 remaining attribute points he still had.

Don’t forget, every time he added an attribute point, he could recover to his peak physical condition.

That is to say, he could recover his physical strength a total of thirteen times.

No matter how numerous the enemy was, they would all become fodder for his Experience.

As for getting injured?

Putting aside whether they could injure him, who possessed the “Intermediate Steel Body,” even if he did get hurt, with his new Legendary profession—Beast Priest—he could recover from his injuries using the core skill “Beastly Vitality.”

In short, what was considered an impossible mission for others, Rein felt he could at least give it a try.

…

“Rein!”

Just then, a clear and familiar female voice rang out.

Vinica?

At the sound, Rein was taken aback and immediately turned to look.

There stood Vinica in a pale blue robe, excitedly waving her hands a short distance behind him.

“Vinica, what are you doing here?”

“Just like you, shortly after you left Mingster, I received an urgent assignment from the Sword Bearers Branch. The frontline needs a third-level Wizard Apprentice specializing in avian scouting,” she said.

“So, here I am!” Vinica’s golden pigtails bounced as she spoke with a joyful expression.

Obviously, she was very happy to encounter Rein here.

Rein, too, smiled.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Vinica also learned about Rein’s mission destination.

“Rein, perhaps I can give it a try,” she said.

Vinica was seen chanting quietly, apparently fully focusing on controlling the seagulls.

A flock of dozens of seagulls gathered above Vinica’s head and at her command, they swiftly flew towards the nearby island.

Just as the seagulls were about to circle down near the cave, suddenly, a dozen bluegill fishmen emerged and threw their nets.

Instantly, the seagulls were caught en masse, leaving only four or five that made it into the cave.

This couldn’t help but bring pain to Vinica’s heart.

Luckily, there were still these four or five that had gone down.

But less than half a minute later, Vinica clutched her head, her pretty face showing pain.

“Rein, all my seagulls are dead. It’s a deep cave inside, my seagulls flew in about a hundred meters or so, but still couldn’t see the end,” she said, sounding a bit tired. “Although there are far fewer Sea Clan members inside than outside, the proportion of Blood Curse Nagas is clearly higher. And the fishmen inside are not like the ones out here; they are much stronger.”

“Rein, I know you’re strong, but maybe you shouldn’t take this risk,” said Vinica with a worried look on her face.

Rein walked up and ruffled Vinica’s hair.

“Don’t worry, if it really doesn’t work out, I won’t force it,” he reassured her.

Vinica looked into Rein’s eyes earnestly, and after a long gaze, she lowered her head and took out a Sorcery Scroll from her waist pouch, saying:

“This is an Invisibility Technique scroll, which can last for about a minute. It was given to me by my mentor.”

“I’m relatively safe here, Rein, so please make sure to take it,” she insisted.

Rein was taken aback for a moment, then he began to consider.

If he used it while rushing to the cave entrance, he could avoid being attacked by several Blood Curse Nagas at the Sea Clan’s defense line.

After all, he was here for a rescue, so naturally, the best approach would be to enter the cave with as little commotion as possible.

Thus, Rein didn’t refuse; he took the scroll and said, “Thank you, Vinica.”

Seeing that Rein was determined to go and that even his ‘girlfriend’ could not dissuade him, Viscount Philke couldn’t help shaking his head and said:

“Baron Rein, since you insist, then may the goddess of luck truly be on your side.”

“If you manage to come out safely, then fire this signal flare. I’ll restrain some of the enemies for you in mid-air.”

“Of course, if you happen to fall in battle, I ask for your forgiveness. I’m sorry, but I can’t send anyone to look for your body. So, Baron Rein, I hope you consider everything carefully before you act.”

“Thank you,” Rein said, taking the arrow-shaped signal flare that Felk handed to him.

Obviously, Felk didn’t have high hopes for Rein’s venture.

After giving the signal flare, Felk quickly took to the sky on his griffin to attend to other matters.

…

Rein left Cookie and Little Black behind.

In the sky above, the presence of the Blood Feather was enough to guide him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, either worried or astonished, Rein stepped past the spiked wooden stakes and walked towards the seaside.

Ahead, dozens of deep-sea bluegill fishmen, towering a head taller than the grayfin fishmen, were wading in the shallow water. The water came only up to their knees; some of them held steel harpoons, while others carried transparent bottles filled with pungent blue-green smoke.

At the same time, a few bluegill fishmen carried Throwing Spears on their backs and wielded sturdy nets.

When they noticed a human knight clad in light silver armor slowly walking out of the densely-packed human line, they all turned their attention to Rein.
