Chapter 1053: Chapter 366: Monster (2)
“Go! Let’s take a look!”
“Also, notify everyone, the academy is on full alert! Activate the defensive witch array.”
Although facing a deity, many means and preparations are useless, if it’s just a projection, it still has some effect.
Soon, under Batalov’s leadership, the group rode several Ice Plain Giant Vultures, rapidly flying towards Oakmay Ice Valley.
Due to the proximity, in less than half a minute, the valley was already in sight.
What left everyone dumbfounded were two massive black and gray figures currently engaged in a fierce battle within the picturesque glacier valley.
The originally flat green meadow had become pitted and cratered, with at least dozens of holes.
Seven or eight streams had already dried up, some because a big pit appeared upstream, causing the stream to stop flowing, and others evaporated without a trace.
As for the two black and gray figures, even when looking down from the Ice Plain Giant Vultures, their colossal size was apparent.
And their combat speed was as fast as lightning!
So, to everyone at Winterfort Academy except the principal Batalov, it looked like two enormous blurry figures were engaging in fierce combat.
“It’s Lord Rein, and it seems he’s at a disadvantage.” The beautiful Werti exclaimed with wide eyes.
As a senior Second Level Liquidized Wizard, she could barely see one side as the transformed Rein, but the other side was too unfamiliar to discern its identity.
Merita, on the other hand, couldn’t see either side’s form at all, let alone their faces.
“Indeed.” Batalov, his hair and beard all white, nodded solemnly at the two figures ahead.
“Mentor, in the Frostwind Prairie, who else could fight Lord Rein like this?” Merita couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
Just now, Merita hadn’t heard her mentor and Werti’s conversation, and due to her inexperience, she couldn’t determine the other’s identity by their aura.
Whether Rein or Hela, they were beings several levels above Merita.
“Not on the prairie, but the other side is from above.” Batalov pointed to the sky overhead, saying heavily.
“You mean the opponent is a deity?” After a moment of thought, Merita’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed.
“Yes, I can’t mention the other’s name, but it should… come from the ocean.”
Batalov, well-versed in many things, had mostly discerned the other’s origin from Hela’s black-robed girl form, her mastery over dry streams, and her proficient water witchcraft.
At the same time, this discovery stirred up a storm inside this Winterfort Academy principal.
Could it be that the Nether Sea Goddess Hela is gradually awakening?
Doesn’t that mean the Empire’s situation is becoming more turbulent?
…
Currently, if the view was adjusted to look down at the picturesque Oakmay Ice Valley from the sky, the scene was truly bizarre.
A ten-meter-tall black-robed girl and a slightly shorter giant Dragon-man were fiercely fighting.
Although Hela was pressing Rein throughout the fight, Rein relied on the top-level talent Steel Body and the Dragon Scale protection from his mutated Dragon-man bloodline, being quite hardy and resilient.
After a few minutes, even though he had many wounds and several broken Dragon Scales, with flesh and blood exposed, the actual injuries weren’t severe.
At the same time, Rein’s previously gained talent ‘High-speed Healing’ due to an increase in bloodline concentration, played an important role, with wounds continually sprouting granulation tissue, healing rapidly.
“Boom!”
Hela’s water long sword strikes were blocked by Rein’s shield, but he still staggered back several steps.
However, this time Hela didn’t pursue.
Thus, the battle between the two ‘giants’ paused briefly.
“Not a bad talent, mortal, I give you one last chance, swear allegiance to me. I can forgive your earlier rudeness.” Hela looked at Rein with an inexplicable look.
In the distant sky, the people from Winterfort Academy watched this scene in shock.
Especially Merita, she never expected that the deity fighting Rein was such a gracefully beautiful black-robed girl, uh… although the girl’s stature was immensely large.
Moreover, what did she just hear, Lord Rein received an invitation from a deity?
Oh my! If it were her, she might become a devout believer on the spot.
After all, that’s an olive branch extended by a god!
“Swear allegiance?”
“Perhaps, if you swear allegiance to me, I might consider it!” Rein wiped the blood from his mouth, speaking calmly.
Rein wasn’t deliberately provoking, but he unintentionally discovered a weakness in his opponent.
The figure before him seemed accustomed to being above and had low tolerance for any provocative words or actions.
When infuriated, her attacks became unmethodical and much less precise, making them easier to deal with.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Rein’s words didn’t come off that way.
Hearing Rein’s ‘audacious’ words, everyone, including the white-bearded Third Level Crystalized Wizard Batalov, was dumbfounded!
Could these words come from a human’s mouth?
Facing Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s demand for allegiance, Rein turned it around and demanded Hela to swear allegiance to him!
Regardless of strength, just such a dominating response, who else in the entire Dragan Empire could say something like this?
“Ignorant ant! You have angered me!” The black-robed girl, Hela’s avatar, trembled with rage, shouting angrily.
