Chapter 725: Chapter 282: Hammer Clash! Hammer Against Hammer (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

“Lady Cleya, this… isn’t it too valuable?”

Cleya’s smile became even more radiant.

“Rein, don’t forget, you are now my Guardian Knight. The stronger you are, the safer I will be, right?”

“Before, when I was still a Peak Knight, it was not convenient for me to give you certain items from our family.”

“However… it’s different now. After my promotion to Great Knight, according to the agreement my father had with the elders of the family, I am now the primary heir to the Habus family, with much greater authority than before.”

“Otherwise, even I wouldn’t have been able to give you this manuscript, I’m afraid.”

“Thank you, Lady Cleya.” Rein took the manuscript and bowed slightly.

Now, with 1 point in Will attribute, having a manuscript about the understanding of Will from predecessors for reference naturally greatly benefitted Rein.

It could potentially accelerate his subsequent comprehension and usage of Will.

“Moreover, I’ve spoken to my father about you. He’s both happy and surprised by your growth. He hopes to talk to you when he’s feeling a bit better after some time.”

“Of course, at any time. Please convey to Count Hubs that I hope he recovers soon.”

At that moment, Cleya’s expression became serious, “Rein, as a Wizard, haven’t you noticed anything unusual lately?”

“Hmm? Something unusual?” Rein couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

“Yes, like the concentration of mystical side energy particles you’ve felt. Perhaps, you can try to recall, compare one month ago with now.” Cleya looked at Rein with a puzzled expression.

“This…” Rein sensed carefully.

It seemed that the energy particles around him were easier to mobilize?

But the problem was…

His spiritual power from a month ago and now had increased by at least ten points or more.

Rein suddenly realized!

He understood.

The incredibly fast improvement of his spiritual power left him no time to pay attention to the changes in these mysterious energy particles around him.

All along, he intuitively believed that the enhancement of his witchcraft power was solely due to his own strength improvement.

In fact, as Cleya mentioned, a small part of the reason was indeed the change in energy particle concentration.

“Lady Cleya, do you mean to say the concentration of mystical side energy particles has become denser for some unknown reasons?”

“Yes, although I am a Knight, my spiritual power is not weak. I have felt this change over the past six months, let alone the Wizards.”

“Moreover, don’t you find it strange? Legendary Species such as the Earth Snake, these ancient creatures, have suddenly appeared.”

“Uh… I thought it was a coincidence, but now that you mention it, this isn’t coincidental?”

“It’s not a coincidence. When I was at the Imperial City’s Royal Academy, reports of the resurgence of such behemoths from across the vast territories of the empire have come up at least a dozen times.”

“Even many children of great nobles are discussing this issue,” Cleya said, her face turning solemn.

Spiritual energy revival?

A term from his previous life inexplicably cropped up in Rein’s mind.

Of course, that’s just a metaphor.

The real reason behind it might be far more complicated, but regardless, the current situation indicated that an increase in energy particle concentration seemed to lead to the gradual awakening of behemoths.

Although he was progressing rapidly, he still had a substantial gap compared to the Legendary Earth Snake.

The question was, apart from the behemoths, behind those active cults…

This caused Rein’s brows to furrow, a sense of urgency emerging.

“Hasn’t the empire discussed any solutions?” Rein inquired.

“I don’t have access to the empire-level response plan yet.”

“According to one theory at the Royal Academy, it’s a mix of opportunities and challenges. The increased concentration of energy particles will not only directly enhance the combat power of Wizards but will also subtly reduce the difficulty for us Knights to advance in rank.”

“It means that breakthroughs have become easier!”

“Many believe that experts from within the empire will emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain,” Cleya said.

“I see…” Rein mused thoughtfully.

This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, at least the rapid improvement in his own strength had another satisfactory explanation.

…

After Cleya left, Rein began to look through the manuscript written by Mikel Habs, one of Cleya’s ancestors who was among the few in Habus family history who had comprehended the brilliance of Will.

In fact, the content in the manuscript regarding how to comprehend the brilliance of Will wasn’t extensive, just a few fleeting words.

“…understand why you fight… understand where your Longsword points…”

After pondering over this phrase several times, perhaps due to the 1 point of Will that Rein already possessed,

he had an epiphany!

He stretched out his right hand and activated his primal force, with his palm emitting a faint white glow.

But the next moment, a formless power of the mind and spirit settled in his hand.

The light of the primal force suddenly underwent some kind of change.

It wasn’t a quantitative change, but rather it seemed as if the previously chaotic primal force molecules had suddenly become orderly.

It was as if the primal force had found a leader, had gained a soul!

“Was the primal force previously soulless?”

To explain it using an analogy from Rein’s past life,

it was as if the former primal force was like the carbon atoms in graphite, while now with the addition of Will, it had become the carbon atoms in diamond.

The carbon was still carbon.

But it had transformed in essence!
