Chapter 1055: Chapter 367: Wind Roc
Rein made up his mind that next time, he must save more attribute points.
At this moment, Batalov and the others, who had been watching the battle from afar on the Ice Plain Giant Vulture, quickly maneuvered it to descend slowly. Meanwhile, Anna hurried over, arriving beside Rein first.
Anna anxiously examined Rein’s injuries and then immediately paused. She quickly started chanting, while a green glow flickered in her hand. Sheets of green leaves emitting a faint green light began to swirl around Rein’s body like a green vine spiraling upward.
The next second, the leaves automatically covered the still-unhealed wounds on Rein’s body.
Especially at the penetrating wound in the waist and abdomen area where granulation was growing, the green glow was densest, and the number of covering leaves was the greatest.
Rein felt a cool sensation streaming through the wounds all over his body.
He looked down to see that even the worst penetrating wound in the waist and abdomen was now quickly scabbing over, thanks to Anna’s nature witchcraft ‘Healing Spell’ combined with his own top-level talent ‘High-speed Healing.’
The injury was no longer serious.
“Lord Rein, are you alright?” At this moment, Merita ran up to Rein, concerned.
“I’m fine, just a small injury!” Rein waved his hand and said.
“Dean Batalov, Ms. Werti, why are you all here?”
“Lord Rein, with such a large commotion on your side, how could we not notice?” The beautiful woman Werti looked at Rein and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
This young man before her, not even half her age, had actually managed to take down a divine projection head-on in the recent battle!
“Lord Rein, may I suggest that we return to the Academy first? Winterfort Academy has a high-rank witch array defense. Even a divine projection wouldn’t easily get in.” Batalov stepped forward and said.
“No, thank you for your kindness, Dean Batalov, but I don’t want to cause trouble for Winterfort Academy.” Rein waved his hand, saying.
“The other party just claimed to be the deity worshipped by the Sea God Sect, Dean Batalov. That must have been the legendary Nether Sea Goddess Hela, right?”
Rein spoke candidly about Hela’s name, unafraid of any trouble she might bring him.
After all, the recent battle had already given him significant enmity with the other side.
Rein did not expect any forgiveness from them anyway.
Given that, there was nothing he dared not mention.
“Yes, it should be her.” Batalov’s expression turned solemn as he nodded.
“I once read some accounts of her in ancient texts. The figure just now fits many descriptions, such as the black robe, her youthful form, and her proficiency in water witchcraft, among others.”
“Plus, from what Lord Rein mentioned, she admitted it, so it should definitely be her.” Batalov added.
Rein nodded.
He had also heard it said that gods do not bother lying to mortals.
“Hmm, it seems I must quickly return to the Empire’s core territories. Anna, let’s leave now!” Rein turned to Anna and said.
At the Mingster Sword Branch, Rein had looked into some related information about gods, one secret of which was that gods with overlapping divine positions in certain domains were typically mortal enemies.
Therefore, as long as he was in a city with the Seasonal Wind and Ocean Goddess’s temple, it would not be easy for the Nether Sea Goddess Hela to descend.
Once she did, it would inevitably draw the attention of the Seasonal Wind and Ocean Goddess.
Of course, if he were in the Imperial City, relying on human power would also make the Nether Sea Goddess Hela very wary. The numerous Imperial Guardians would surely keep her, who has not fully recovered, at bay.
Moreover, there was also the Empire Emperor with unfathomable strength, who had successfully ascended to demigod status, though still not lightly injured.
“Rein, aren’t we going to the Norton Tribe to find Lagaray?” Anna couldn’t help but ask.
“Now is not the right time.” Rein shook his head.
The methods of the gods are mysterious and unfathomable. If he were somehow marked with any latent trace of her power, going to the Norton Tribe would only bring disaster to both the Barbarian Tribe and Lagaray.
Rein did not want to take that risk.
“Merita, please go to the Norton Barbarian Tribe for me, and find a girl named Lagaray….” Rein thought for a moment and instructed.
Minutes later, Batalov and the others from Winterfort Academy rode the Ice Plain Giant Vulture back to Winterfort Academy, while Rein and Anna rode the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle, speeding toward the southern sky.
….
At this moment, in the glacial valley, a transparent humanoid figure suddenly emerged from a stream, instantly transforming into the form of a black-robed girl.
It was Hela, whose aura was greatly weakened.
Just now, she neither died nor dissipated, but merely left the center of the valley, hiding in the trickling stream.
This was because the energy of the projection was almost entirely consumed.
Hela knew that even if the battle continued, she would have no way with Rein, only to experience humiliation.
If a deity deliberately conceals themselves and has no intent to attack, naturally with Rein’s current strength, it would be impossible to detect them.
At this moment, the black-robed girl, Hela’s transformation, watched the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle fly far into the horizon, her eyes flashing but her thoughts unknown.
“South, is it?”
Her figure once again merged into the stream, and the next second appeared miles away in another part of the stream.
