Chapter 548 - 294: This Is My Castle! (2)
"The toxins of these plague hounds are lethal."
"This is my castle, Raine, do you want me to stand by and do nothing?" Viscount Olsen said with a faint smile, half-jokingly.
Appearing on the left side of the top floor were Viscount Olsen and the remaining four fire mages of the Crete squad!
If we turn the clock back to half a minute ago.
Dylan Crete was the first to spot that blood-red blurry figure darting up to the third floor.
This immediately made him realize the other’s motive, after all, just moments ago, Raine had rushed to the top floor to face the formidable enemy ’Plague Lord’. So, he immediately said to the others next to him:
"Nightmare Blade Jora has just gone to the third floor, I think he intends to ambush Mr. Raine while he can. No matter what, we should do something."
"Huh? Doesn’t this mean Raine has to face three Transcendents?" Laisa and Sulfur Vine exchanged a glance, their pretty faces turning pale.
That’s three Transcendents!
Even though both of them had confidence in Raine, they didn’t believe Raine could handle three Transcendents at the same time.
Especially since one of them was the notorious Plague Lord White Mann.
"I’ll go!" Despite fear, Laisa and Sulfur Vine spoke sternly in unison.
"No, given your capabilities, better stay here. Let me and the members of the Crete squad go." At this moment, Viscount Olsen reached out to stop the two women.
While speaking, he unsheathed his two-handed greatsword.
As the Governor of Dorne City, Viscount Olsen’s tone was steady and powerful, commanding trust.
"This...."
"Yes, listen to Viscount Olsen." Henry nodded his head beside him.
...
Thus, the scene before Raine was set.
As for the incoming foes, White Mann remained indifferent.
Without a single Transcendent, they posed no threat to him.
But this made him think of his Transcendent, Lilith.
’Where is she?’
With a quick glance, White Mann discovered that Lilith had somehow hidden beside a side door, at the moment casually casting some ineffective erosion magic spells toward Raine.
This left White Mann quite vexed!
At this moment, the battle-experienced Viscount Olsen suddenly made a curved advance from the side, bypassing the Hate Lord, and charged straight at Plague Lord White Mann!
’Such folly!’
Already infuriated by Lilith’s performance, White Mann grew even angrier when he saw a low-level being, not even a Transcendent, daring to swing a sword at him.
He raised his dark staff, aiming at Viscount Olsen, and murmured a spell.
Just as Viscount Olsen’s alarm bells rang, ready to evade, suddenly!
"Clang!"
An old rusty dark red chain suddenly whipped out from the Hate Lord’s arm, striking towards Viscount Olsen.
"Watch out!"
Raine, noticing this, shouted immediately and threw the warhammer in his hand.
"Clang!"
The chain originally wrapping around Viscount Olsen’s waist was deflected by Raine’s Counterattacker, wrapping only his right leg.
The chain was extremely heavy, even with Viscount Olsen’s full swing of the great sword, it could only chop a nail-sized gap in the thick chain.
At this moment, a black spiral beam flashed by!
"Hiss!"
Viscount Olsen stiffened completely!
His chest, where the heart was protected by the plate armor chest plate, was penetrated, creating a fist-sized hole.
This sight made Raine’s pupils shrink to pinpoints!
Although Viscount Olsen was not the first person Raine met, he was a rare noble with a sense of honor and conduct.
Moreover, he had another identity, being Reya’s father.
This was the first time a familiar friend died before Raine’s eyes.
In an instant.
Time and space seemed to slow down.
At that moment, Raine had never felt so acutely the intense beating of his heart within his chest!
"Thump, thump, thump!"
His heartbeat quickened, pumping out a flood of blood!
Unaware of the panel’s flashing new class skill ’Frost Fury’ tip.
Raine’s toes pushed hard, war boots cracking the ground, rushing towards the massive Hate Lord at unprecedented speed.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Bang!!"
"Clang! Clang! Bang!!"
Raine swung the warhammer with both hands, seemingly sprouting eight arms, storming through with silhouettes of the hammer, intermingled with clusters of icy blue energy, hitting the Hate Lord like the fiercest hailstorm!
Frost Fury brought a 20% increase in attack speed;
Plus the Counterattacker second effect;
At this moment, Raine forcibly broke through the barriers of the Hate Lord’s many arms at greater speed, hitting its core.
But in White Mann’s eyes, this was irrational fury.
Since he was well aware, the summoned Plague Lord ’Devourer Muto’, with its extraordinarily thick layers of rotting flesh, had superb physical defenses.
Even a high-tier Transcendent combat professional finding it difficult to inflict significant damage to Devourer Muto in a short time would struggle.
Let alone Raine in front of him.
Through the recent battle, White Mann had basically gauged this young man’s combat strength limit, roughly between mid-tier and high-tier Transcendent.
Very strong.
But compared to his level, still lacking by a half-tier.
Hmm?
