"Hehe! So what if itâs the Dragon Vein Transformation, youâre still doomed to die here!" Graham rejoiced in his heart upon seeing the Shadow Binding take effect.
Beside him, the "Unlistenable" Kexiâer seamlessly launched the second wave of attack, suddenly exhaling a dark green mist that expanded as it rapidly approached Rein.
This was a poison cloud attack with immense corrosive power.
But just as the poison cloud was about to hit,
the next moment, the dark silver dragon, over sixty meters long, suddenly vanished in front of everyone, leaving even Graham momentarily at a loss.
Suddenly!
The dark silver dragon appeared behind "Unlistenable" Kexiâer in the distance, and before the opponent could react, a sharp and large dragon claw pierced its back spine.
Another dragon claw covered its chitinous head, resembling basketball star OâNeal clutching a regular-sized water bottle.
Given the opponentâs body was merely several meters compared to Reinâs old dragon form, it was far too small.
"Snap!"
The opponentâs head shattered on cue!
Yet Reinâs attack wasnât over.
"Fiery Breath!"
A crimson cone-shaped breath quickly expanded, engulfing "Unlistenable" Kexiâerâs headless corpse completely.
...
"Space... Space Witchcraft!"
"How is that possible!" Graham exclaimed in terror, his voice stammering!
If it wasnât space witchcraft, how else would Reinâs massive dragon body suddenly vanish?
This doubt even exceeded the question of why "Unlistenable" Kexiâer was so easily killed!
Because in theory, as a fragment of Nael Breccan, regular physical attacks, or witchcraft damage shouldnât harm it much, requiring a High Rank Wizard to continuously cast witchcraft attacks to kill "Unlistenable" Kexiâer.
In his previous plan, though the giant dragon Rein transformed into wielded high resistance, its power would decline under increasing negative witchcraft influences until they overwhelmed it.
In that case, the last piece of the puzzle for Nael Breccanâs arrival would be complete and of high quality.
But Reinâs weird disappearance and reappearance shattered his plan completely!
...
"Hiss~ Space Witchcraft!"
A surviving wizard from the Isodre School gasped, utterly disbelieving.
"Lost for so long, the Space Witchcraft!"
Another grey-haired wizard was shocked to the point of near hysterics!
Other Isodre School wizards, still gaping at the scene, were unable to grasp it for a long time.
Meanwhile, with "Unlistenable" Kexiâerâs death, many ordinary people in Nirheim City started regaining normalcy, signs of spiders began fading, limbs reverting to palms, and patterns on their skin started disappearing.
Only thing was, internal damage was unavoidable.
Many momentarily collapsed with fatigue, but itâs vastly better than turning into spider-like beings.
...
Over at Reinâs side, he quickly added an attribute point to himself, regaining his near-depleted physical strength to peak; although âShadow Shiftingâ is highly useful, itâs related to body size, with larger size making shifting harder.
Which is why he didnât use this unique ability arbitrarily.
During his use of âShadow Shiftingâ, he simultaneously activated âDragon Soul Strikeâ, his first and currently only legendary professionâs core skill, which carries true damage, always a formidable weapon against divine projections and fragments.
Under their combined effect, despite enormous consumption, the result was significant; just a single combo dispatched "Unlistenable" Kexiâer, one of Evil God Nael Breccanâs fragments!
Meanwhile, the system prompt arrived on schedule:
[Ding! Detected an unknown high-quality energy enhancing spiritual powerâs qualitative level, absorb? (Note: System absorption excludes impurities.)]
Reinâs eyes brightened immediately, and he chose "Yes"!
This was something he had anticipated early on.
Instantly, he felt a vast and pure energy surge from Kexiâerâs charred body through his dragon claw, directly rushing to his mind.
In his mind, the spiritual power point initially plum-sized, further expanded a circle!
After absorbing, Rein casually flicked his dragon claw, discarding Kexiâerâs charred remains like an old shoe, then turned his dragon gaze toward Graham and "Unseeable" Donok.
Both felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts inexplicably.
The feeling was like being stared at by a top-level predator.
"Retreat...(chaotic speech)" Donok hissed while backing away two steps.
"Whoosh!"
Donok, with a body several dozen meters long, blinked its pink compound eyes and suddenly burrowed underground; its four pairs of giant limbs digging at astonishing speed, vanishing beneath the surface in an instant.
Seeing this, cold sweat poured off Graham!
Donok fled, whose abilities exceeded his own, and so he dared not linger.
But he dared not follow Donokâs path, lest Rein caught him first.
Thus, Graham dashed rapidly into another hole.
Rein couldnât help but pause at this moment!
On one hand, he didnât expect the Evil Godâs combat will weak-willed.
On the other, he pondered which one to chase first?
He could essentially only keep one.
After a brief thought, he charged towards Donok.
Simple reasonâsince Donok is a fragment of Nael Breccan, killing it allows absorbing its divine power.
"Boom!"
The dark silver dragon slammed into Donokâs excavated hole, heavy dragon claws with thick dark silver light crushed the ground!
Dark silver metallic ripples spread downward.
Dense metal spikes blocked deeper underground passages, significantly slowing Donokâs digging speed.
The dragon crouched and pulled a long segment of giant limb, Donokâs one of four long foot limbs.
"Roar!!"
With an angry roar, Rein, as a dark silver dragon, muscles swelled beneath scales, while Donok felt an irresistible huge strength pull one limb towards the surface.
"Crack!"
Seeing this, Donok decisively cut off the limb in the nick of time, attempting to burrow back into the hole.
As quick as it was said!
Reinâs other dragon claw pierced the ground and thrust into Donokâs body!
"Hiss!!"
Suffering Donok frantically struggled, biting fiercely at the dragon claw.
Simultaneously, Rein activated âDragon Soul Strikeâ, projecting fiery breath down the hole, roasting Donok into a charred spider.
System prompt arrived again:
[Ding! Detected an unknown high-quality energy enhancing spiritual powerâs qualitative level, absorb? (Note: System absorption excludes impurities.)]
...
Seconds later, upon absorption completion, Rein reverted from old dragon form to human.
However, Rein noticed his left arm wound hadnât auto-healed, looking down, he saw a grey-black bite mark on his triceps, with no spread but also no healing, reaching a balance.
For Rein, possessing high poison resistance and constitution, itâs the first encounter with such severe poison.
Rein glanced at the system panelâs text line, frowning slightly.
"Donokâs Poison..."
...
