Chapter 1124: Chapter 386: 59 Seconds

At this moment, Rein’s body was already covered with a layer of gray-black metal, and all around him were Kite Shields formed from Hardened Essence Gold. Facing several millstone-sized boulders coming towards him, he casually raised his hand and shattered them with a bang!

But the two women behind him had faces as pale as death and were on the verge of collapsing.

If it weren’t for Rein blocking in front and the protection of a Second Level Defensive Sorcery Scroll ‘Vortex Barrier’, both women would have perished from Harold’s Crystalization Kill Move.

“Do you think you’ve cornered me this time?”

Despite the swirling dust and stones, Rein’s voice was like a morning bell, piercing through the sandstorm and reaching everyone’s ears.

This left most of the people with bewildered expressions.

“Actually, you haven’t. Unfortunately, you’ve come with too few people this time.”

Harold looked puzzled, not believing that Rein, under his Crystalization Kill Move, could have any chance of a comeback.

But why would the other side say that?

Sorcery and Divine Arts Scrolls above the Third Rank are not unheard of, but they are too precious, mostly relics from the Ancient Times. Harold didn’t think Rein had such things.

Self-destruction of Witch Artifacts?

Or, did the other party find strong allies?

For a moment, Harold couldn’t figure it out.

As the dust cloud completely covered Rein’s location, suddenly Harold vaguely saw a gigantic shadow flashing through the impenetrable sandstorm.

“Huh? Is it my giant sandworm?”

But Harold immediately sensed and denied this possibility.

Because both giant sandworms were clearly not in that position.

Harold promptly willed, commanding the two giant sandworms to go check.

But the next second, he felt a sudden ‘thud’ in his heart, and his face abruptly changed.

Because he distinctly felt the connection with one of the summoned giant sandworms was severed.

It was the kind of sudden break.

Like a person walking on the road, who suddenly has their neck twisted, without even a basic warning.

The giant sandworm gave no feedback before its death.

This situation was too rare, too abnormal!

But how could this be possible?

One must know that the giant sandworm was of Legendary Species.

The next second, Harold shuddered all over, looking at the overwhelming sandstorm, showing an unprecedentedly grave expression in his eyes for the first time.

Because his connection with the last giant sandworm was also bizarrely broken!

And Caroline beside Harold also noticed the abnormal expression on her master’s face, she couldn’t help but ask, “Master, could it be that the opponent could withstand your Crystalization Kill Move?”

At this moment, everyone else heard a ‘thump thump’ through the sandstorm, like a drum beat, or a heavy object rhythmically pounding the ground.

Then a more intense rumbling echoed!

Due to Harold’s Crystalization Kill Move ‘Earth-shattering’ covering too wide an area, even the court execution squad’s people had their vision blocked by the sandstorm, unable to see clearly around them.

Suddenly, someone felt a huge shadow above their head, just as they intended to dodge, they suddenly found the shadow accelerated sharply, and then… there was nothing.

“Boom!”

A huge claw print was left on the ground, and the execution squad member’s body was firmly pressed into the earth.

Faint traces of flesh and blood seemed to prove there was once a person there.

This scene replayed in the next ten seconds.

At this moment, the flying sandstorm instead became the best cover for Rein, in his Dragon-man King Form, to launch his attack.

The millstone-sized boulders in the sandstorm, even when hitting Rein’s body covered with heavy iron armor, had no more effect than snowflakes hitting a person, after being buffered by layers of Dragon Scales and muscles.

It might cause Rein a little bit of pain, but that’s all.

—————–

By this time, Harold’s Witchcraft Killing Move began to enter its final stage, and the sandstorm before him also started to dwindle.

And at this moment, a humanoid creature, taller than the giant sandworm with a ferocious face, appeared before Harold and Caroline.

“This… this is…” Caroline’s beautiful eyes widened as far as they could go, she stammered, pointing at Rein in his Dragon-man King Form.

“A Dragon-man? But how can there be such a form of Dragon-man? Is Rein a royal descendant?” Harold, usually calm in emotions, couldn’t help but exclaim.

By this time, Rein had eliminated all the enemies around, including the two Legendaries of the execution squad, who were flattened into pancakes.

“It’s been forty seconds; it seems I must hurry…” A low voice rumbled from his throat.

As the two were still pondering the meaning of Rein’s words, suddenly his flesh wings gave a powerful flap and he disappeared on the spot.

“Not good!”

“Gravity Shield!” Harold shouted.

A dense earth-yellow energy instantly enveloped him, and Rein’s enormous claw descending from the sky, clearly aimed at Harold, seemed to be deflected by some special force as it approached, veered to the side.

It happened to hit Caroline, who hadn’t reacted yet.

In an instant, this rather attractive Second Level Liquidization Wizard was smacked into a pulp, without even a chance to scream.

And Harold had no time to mourn Caroline’s death.

He showed a determined look, crushed the sphere at the end of his tumorwood short stick, instantly releasing a surge of Earth Element Essence, then quickly began chanting.

“First Level Earth Wall Technique!”

“Second Level Earth Elemental Shield!”

“Third Level Gravity Shield!”

On the basis of the exploding staff, the power of several witchcrafts had greatly increased, but Harold’s heart was still not at ease, and he planned to retreat immediately.

“Hmm? Is this the trick you use to withstand a blow from the Divine Saint?”

“Interesting.”

Rein suddenly charged towards Harold, fully unleashing the power of the Dragon-man King Form for the first time.

“Hiss!”

From the perspective of the two women, at this moment, a giant dragon-man, thirteen to fourteen meters tall, muscles bulging, was using incredibly sharp claws to tear open a yellow semicircular energy shield on the ground.

The energy shield was being torn apart at a visible speed, even though a vast amount of earth element continuously surged from the ground to repair the shield, it still couldn’t keep up with the tearing speed.

“Epic! You’re at Epic level battle power!” Harold’s eyes widened, face showing fear, and he shouted.

“You…”

“Bang!” A thick grey shadow flashed, and Harold’s entire head disappeared, embedded entirely into his chest cavity.

The attacker of that sudden strike was Rein’s dragon tail.

“It’s over, fifty-nine seconds!”

Rein remembered Tatia had told him to hold on for two minutes.

In Rein’s understanding, this meant that it would take Tatia and the others two minutes to arrive, which left him one more minute to clean up the battlefield.

“Hmm, what’s this?”

…

Several miles away from Tafulin Town.

Many people in battle gear were quickly advancing towards Tafulin Town, and in the sky, two teams of Griffin Knights were rising, flying towards the town from where the magic fluctuations clearly emanated.

But at this moment, a ripple suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by the Griffins dodging one after another, emitting sharp cries filled with fear and unease.

A giant green dragon suddenly appeared mid-air, its slender form and dazzling dragon scales making one marvel at the creator’s favoritism towards such creatures.

“It’s the Green Dragon Hazas.” At this time, the rugged man at the forefront of the Griffin Knights’ team changed his expression and said.

“Dragon Knight Pantoscoke!”

Female Major General Tatia’s expression changed dramatically.

She hadn’t expected the Conservative Party would dare take such a risk to enlist an Imperial Guardian to intervene.

However, it seemed the other party was also apprehensive, not taking action against Rein but rather coming here to block their movements.

But the effect was the same.

Although Tatia had great admiration for Rein’s strength, at this moment, Rein faced ‘Carver’ Harold, reputed as the strongest Legendary. Every second delayed here increased the danger Rein faced.

“Lord Pantoscoke!”

Both the Griffin Knights and the elite ground personnel bowed to the other side in salutation.

The Imperial Guardians represented by the Dragon Knights are the cornerstone of the Dragan Empire’s power.

“Wait two minutes, then you may proceed.” A clear and powerful voice came from the back of the Green Dragon Hazas.

The speaker was naturally the Dragon Knight Pantoscoke.

Following this was a light green breath from the Green Dragon, instantly, as the highly concentrated acidic breath was sprayed on the ground, soon, in front of everyone’s eyes, appeared a line as if a ravine.

The meaning of it was unmistakable to all.

It’s death to cross the line!

At this moment, the highly concentrated acid continued to dissolve the rocks within the soil, emitting a strong, pungent odor.

“Lord Pantoscoke, without orders from the Royal Family, did you leave the Imperial City Tamriel on your own accord?” At this time, an elderly man with grizzled hair and beard came forward from the rear of the group.

“Lord Du An, haven’t you done the same?”

“I have a mission to proceed to Sava Province,” Du An said in a deep voice.

Sava Province?

Pantoscoke instantly understood the reason for the other’s fearlessness.

Because heading to Sava Province would indeed pass through this area, from another perspective, it showed the other had planned the conflict here long before.

“I was patrolling near the Imperial City when I sensed the magical energy fluctuations here and came to check it out.” Pantoscoke’s tone softened as he spoke.

Suddenly, both he and Du An looked towards Tafulin Town.

Pantoscoke revealed a joyful expression and said to Du An, “Since Lord Du An is also here, I’m relieved.”

Having said that, he patted the neck of the Green Dragon Hazas, and in an instant, the Dragon Knight titled ‘Storm Cloud’ vanished from everyone’s sight.

The reason for Pantoscoke’s departure was partly to avoid conflict with Du An, also an Imperial Guardian, and partly because he sensed the energy fluctuations in Tafulin Town had subsided.

In his view, this naturally signified a signal that their side had resolved the situation.

After all, he understood ‘Carver’ Harold’s strength. Among the Legendaries, he didn’t believe anyone was stronger than Harold.

Since that’s the case, he saw no reason to remain here.

After all, his presence here was somewhat improper, and staying longer or causing an incident would be hard to explain.

‘The recent battle seemed to last only about a minute; I heard the opponent’s personnel were quite strong this time, looks like Harold’s strength has improved again.’ Pantoscoke thought to himself as he flew towards the Imperial City.

Meanwhile, female Major General Tatia looked anxious and shouted to the others, “Quick! What are you waiting for!”
