And Rein, upon slightly sensing, also discovered the difference in driving this time.
Last time, driving the original Hellfire Demon Statue consumed almost half of his spiritual power, but this time, after stepping into the Third Level Crystallization Wizard, he only consumed a bit more than a quarter of his spiritual power, making the control much easier.
This also indirectly reflected one point: the spiritual power at the crystallization stage is far more concentrated than at the liquidization level.
Rein thought for a moment and realized that the previous plan was still a bit conservative, he should barely be able to simultaneously control three improved Hellfire Demon Statues.
But on second thought, two were about the same.
If it were two, he could control them more delicately, but three would be quite challenging.
After all, in terms of control precision, trying to simultaneously control three is much more difficult than two.
At this time, as the six-meter-high, increasingly massive and heavy improved Hellfire stood up, a roar similar to a V12 engine resounded in Mogaroâs spacious laboratory.
"Perform a witchcraft attack, target the iron target ahead." This time, Rein didnât test physical attacks but directly tested the power of witchcraft attacks.
Not only because this was the area with the most significant improvement in the improved model, but also because it was the area he was most concerned about.
With Reinâs command, the two thick pieces of chest armor on the statue slid downward, revealing two black cannon holes, plus the two cannons on the shoulders, making a total of four.
In an instant, four barrels simultaneously flashed with intense witchcraft light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Overclocking!" Rein continued, pushing straight to the limit, and activated the maximized witchcraft attack mode.
At this point, the buzzing inside the improved statueâs shell became even louder, and the sound started to become a bit shrill!
In one second, the four dark barrels fired eight fireballs and shadow arrows, and the sturdy iron target ahead didnât last for three seconds before even the foundation got blasted away.
If Rein hadnât quickly stopped it, even Mentor Mogaroâs laboratory would have been blasted with a big hole!
Seeing this power, Rein naturally had no dissatisfaction and immediately smiled.
"Hahaha, with this power, we might have a fighting chance even against the average Legendary." Mogaro stroked his red beard excitedly.
The last Hellfire Demon Statue, Mogaro had thought it was a âlifetime achievementâ series.
Unexpectedly, with the help of his proud disciple this time, the combat power of the improved Hellfire once again improved a notch.
"Mentor, thank you." Rein slightly bowed and thanked.
"Do you still want one? Remember to come over and help in the next couple of days; otherwise, with just a few of us, we might not make it." A delighted Mogaro waved his hand and said.
"Of course, no problem." Rein nodded and agreed.
Last time, he harvested thirteen Hellfire Crystal Stones and one Abyss Fire Crystal Stone.
The self-destructed Hellfire Demon Statue consumed three, and Rein had eleven left, more than enough to make two improved Hellfire models.
Originally, Rein wanted to casually inquire about the Fourth Layer of the original Steel Heart Meditation Method, but seeing Mogaroâs hard work, he thought about it and decided it wasnât urgent.
After the Dragon Knight Reserve selection ends, it wouldnât be too late to ask.
...
Due to the cultâs news, Rein had been busy until the evening before he could finally find some free time.
And Cleya, being the Earlâs daughter, naturally wouldnât stay overnight at the Rein Mansion.
After dinner, Lagaray walked over and said, "Want to take a walk?"
"Sure!" Rein nodded.
It was obvious that Lagaray seemed to have something on her mind.
"Rein, do you know why I never came looking for you after I returned last year?" The two walked to the open space in the mansionâs backyard, and Lagaray looked up at the brilliant starry sky and said.
"Was it because of the tribe?" Rein asked.
Because he remembered Lagaray had explained the reason to him last time.
Lagaray shook her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at Rein, and said, "Itâs not just because of the tribe, do you know what thoughts I had when I decided to participate in the trial?"
Without directly answering Reinâs question, Lagaray instead spoke about the barbarian trial.
This made Rein feel somewhat puzzled.
However, Rein knew of this trial, reportedly with a fifty percent mortality rate, extremely dangerous, yet a tradition of the Barbarian Tribe and the only way for barbarians to become Transcendent.
But the problem is, hearing Lagarayâs words made Rein realize an aspect he had always overlooked.
Although Lagaray was the first to have an intimate relationship with him, thinking back carefully, perhaps Lagaray had a good feeling towards him at the time, but definitely not to the extent of committing herself.
More likely, it was out of gratitude.
Grateful for saving her, grateful for avenging her brother and handling the follow-up matters, etc.
Itâs like the phrase from a previous life âA girl has nothing to repay, except with her own self.â
However, after visiting Frostwind Prairie and coming into contact with the Norton Tribe, Rein was well aware that the Barbarian Tribeâs spousal relationships value loyalty more than the Dragan Empire.
According to tradition, a partner is only allowed to have one.
So why didnât Lagaray come looking for him? He was the man who had taken Lagarayâs first night.
From another perspective, even if Lagaray had various difficulties at the time, it shouldnât have been hard to write a letter, right?
Why did she risk great danger to participate in the trial?
Rein found that for a moment he couldnât figure it out or answer the question posed to him.
