“Please wait a moment, Knight Lloyd, I will go with you,” Alonso quickly caught on.
He chuckled bitterly in his heart. Alonso had never imagined that the problem in this matter would turn out to be Lady Crawley, Baroness Crawley. It was really unexpected.
Now, all he could do was to volunteer to go to Flashgold Town to try to clear himself of any suspicion in this affair.
“Wait, Knight Lloyd, I will also accompany you. After all, Jenny is in Flashgold Town, and I can’t rest easy,” the Baroness Crawley hastily added.
—————–
Flashgold Town.
Outside the church square.
Although Metry charged rapidly towards Rein, he did not foolishly engage in close combat. His first instinct was to use a remote attack to take down Rein, who appeared ‘exhausted.’
He stopped about twenty meters from Rein and cautiously controlled a ball of dark flame, accurately tossing it at Rein.
This made Rein inwardly lament, ‘What a pity.’
“Swoosh!”
With a side step, Rein dodged Metry’s dark flame fireball.
Immediately after, Rein charged swiftly at Metry. His agile figure and smooth movements showed no signs of injury or exhaustion!
Metry’s pupils dilated sharply, and with a look of disbelief, he exclaimed,
“How is this possible!!”
“How can you be uninjured?”
“You’re supposed to be exhausted!!”
Facing Rein, who transformed from a seemingly ill cat into a ferocious tiger, Metry could not fathom the reason!
The trembling of his muscles and the way he barely stood steady, leaning on his greatsword, Metry was certain that even the best Wandering Bard or opera actor could not fake such a realistic effect!
In the short half-second that Metry was stunned, Rein had already covered a distance of more than ten meters.
The distance between the two rapidly closed.
Metry immediately took on a panicked expression.
He quickly retreated backward, while fully exerting himself to launch dark flame fireballs.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
It seemed as if he had some sort of enhancement; his speed of releasing the dark flame fireballs was even faster than the previous dark flame monks!
The fireballs battered Rein like a barrage of cannon fire.
“Limit Break!”
With Limit Break activated, Rein’s strength and agility immediately increased by 35%, and his speed increased once more!
The incoming dark flame fireballs passed through Rein’s high-speed afterimages, missing their target and impacting the ground behind him, exploding and sending dust flying.
The distance between them grew ever closer.
Rein dodged the next two dark flame fireballs with a quick left-right maneuver.
Then, with a rare upward slash of the Glimmering Greatsword, he directly chopped off Metry’s right hand that held a peculiar bone wand. Experience exclusive tales on m v|l e’-NovelFull.net
With the experience of the Giant Bear Sword Technique at level 6 as a guide, Rein instinctively stepped to the right, his greatsword following through with a Smooth Cleaving Slash!
“Zzt!”
Rein’s left foot braked sharply, stopping from high-speed motion while maintaining the side-swinging posture.
“Aaaah!!!”
A piercing scream came from behind him!
“Thud!”
A heavy object hitting the ground followed.
Rein’s wrist flicked slightly, and the crimson on his greatsword diminished considerably.
Only then did he slowly turn around.
He saw that the dark flame monk had been cleaved diagonally from the right shoulder to the left hip into two halves by him. The sound of the heavy object was the upper body falling to the ground.
The dark flame monk’s strong vitality now became a shackle and torment, not allowing him to die quickly, only to face the gradual approach of death.
This fear of death was an instinct of all living beings. Therefore, the man continued to howl in desperation!
But all this had nothing to do with Rein anymore.
Without bothering about the man’s fate, Rein stepped forward and picked up the bizarre bone wand, clutched in the severed right hand.
It was due to this item that the dark flame monk had greatly increased his speed of casting fireball attacks.
Moreover, Rein also noticed that it played a key role in the sinister ritual that had just taken place, with strands of a bloody scent still emanating from the crimson crystal at the top of the bone wand.
However, the moment Rein held the bone wand, suddenly, a system prompt resounded.
This caught Rein completely off guard!
The system prompt was as follows:
[Ding! Host has acquired an unknown mysterious object, triggering a career change—Dark Flame Monk!]
[The prerequisites for advancing to Dark Flame Monk are: 1. Possession of any Transcendent profession panel; 2. Spirit above 12 points; 3. Worship the God of Hunting or use the unknown mysterious object. The current conditions are met. Would you like to change careers to Dark Flame Monk? Yes/No?]
Huh!
His career panel system could even change to a Dark Flame Monk?
A career that clearly belongs to an evil alignment?
This made Rein quite curious!
That strange dark flame indeed possessed great power; the Dark Flame Monk seemed like a combination of a Wizard and a Knight.
If it weren’t for his Transcendent trait ‘Ironskin lv2,’ he might have died several times over!
But when Rein thought of the ‘serpent waist’ incident, he shuddered all over!
“While improving strength is indeed my desire, becoming something that is neither human nor ghost is really…”
“Moreover, after the career change, it will certainly overwrite the original Knight (Transcendent) panel because my current panel total is already 4/4, so it’s not an addition but a career change.”
