As the three of them quickly advanced towards their target location, they saw dozens of Fierce Species, each with varying shapes, seemingly frightened by something, darting crazily out from the forest, just in time to charge towards them.
Meanwhile, a greater number of various birds of prey and peculiar insects were also fleeing in all directions.
Of course, these posed no hinderance to Rein and his companions.
Nickâs spiral electric light flashed, and a giant boar-shaped Fierce Species convulsed and fell to the ground.
This made Reinâs eyes glimmer with a hint of brightness.
It seemed that what Agrippa said before, about Nick being skilled in control and having the opportunity to restrain the Nether Sea Goddess, wasnât just mere boasting.
Agrippa was surrounded by a cyan air current, different from the âSwift Windâ, which was merely wrapped around the legs. Rein knew this was the Wind Element Third Level Witchcraft âTornado Barrierâ.
He saw a swift dragon-shaped Fierce Species charging in front of Agrippa, immediately attempting to pounce and bite.
But the next second, the opponentâs strong frame, more than three meters high, was enveloped by the cyan air current, involuntarily flung to the side, while several thin and deep wounds appeared on its body.
The wounds immediately spurted blood.
This Tornado Barrier is a rare attack-defense combination witchcraft in Wind Witchcraft, capable of deflecting enemy attacks and damaging enemies.
The cyan air current surrounding the body was actually mixed with countless tiny, visually imperceptible Wind Blades.
In other words, once an enemy crashes into this Tornado Barrier, they will be swiftly sliced by the tiny Wind Blades.
As Rein observed the two, Nick and Agrippa naturally observed Rein as well.
However, they were even more surprised.
Because when Rein encountered a Fierce Species or bird of prey, he would suddenly vanish, yet in reality, Rein had already maneuvered around them.
With their perception, they could naturally sense how Rein achieved this.
Simply put, Rein relied on instantaneous variable speeds, effortlessly avoiding all Fierce Species charging at him, as if strolling leisurely.
Nick glanced at Rein, pondering.
If it werenât for the metal shield surrounding his body, he would look indistinguishable from a Titled Knight, nothing like a Third Level Crystallization Wizard.
Emerging from a grove, the scene ahead was clearly visible.
A gorgeous black-robed girl familiar to Rein stood with her back to them in the center, while on the ground around her lay three Empire personnel, clearly more exhaling than inhaling.
Rein was slightly familiar with two of them, as they were participants in the Secret Realm Re-test.
The other he hadnât seen before, but his aura was somewhat similar to Nickâs, likely Inner Guard personnel.
"Quaid!" Nick exclaimed.
Indeed, as Rein had guessed, one of them was Nickâs teammate.
"Three more have come." Hela slowly turned, said.
"Oh? I didnât expect you would come to me actively." As she turned, Helaâs beautiful eyes locked onto Rein, said.
"Shouldnât I have come?" Rein smiled.
"Since you came voluntarily, I can promise you a pleasant death." A smile appeared on Helaâs exquisite face.
She had no intention of enchantment, yet all three present felt a sense of enchantment.
As for the Nether Sea Goddessâs words, Rein naturally understood her meaning.
But Nick and Agrippa did not.
Though, to them, it wasnât important.
What mattered was Rein capturing the Nether Sea Goddessâs attention as soon as he appeared, which was evidently wonderful!
Because it indicated that the first step of the strategy was completed.
For these two, accomplishing the task smoothly was ideal, yet if it couldnât be done, they would promptly retreat to ensure their safety.
This was also why they had Rein attract attention.
The reason was simple: if becoming the focus of a Divine Incarnation, the difficulty of escape would be hell-level.
Nick and Agrippa exchanged a glance, quickly parted left and right, arriving at the Nether Sea Goddessâs left and right sides respectively.
From an aerial view, Rein, Nick, and Agrippa formed a triangle, surrounding the Nether Sea Goddess Hela in the middle.
