Chapter 1252: Chapter 423: Fourth Form

At the same time.

Dragon Valley Secret Realm, southwest direction.

Not far from Whispering Pond.

"Hiss hiss!"

A huge one-horned Fierce Species resembling a rhino, its breath rising in two white waves, pawed the ground with its front hooves, its bronze bell-like eyes fixed on the human Swordsman in front of it.

The Swordsman bore a roughly two-meter-long Dual-Handed Greatsword on his back, wearing a simple linen-colored robe.

The Swordsman was Lambert, the apprentice of Tide Sword Saint.

"Roar!!!"

The giant rhino Fierce Species seemed to be the first to succumb under the pressure of the standoff.

It let out a skyward roar, then lowered its head, aiming its dark one-horn toward Lambert, and charged furiously with all four hooves!

"Boom boom boom!"

The heavy footsteps sounded like dense drumbeats, the ground faintly trembling in sync.

Facing the charging Giant Beast like a steam locomotive, Lambert remained still, instead showing a hint of a smile.

"Swoosh!"

Just as the opponent was nearing him, Lambert’s figure suddenly blurred and vanished from the spot in front of the Giant Beast.

At the same time, a long silver arc of light flashed from the side.

The silver arc swiftly sliced across the giant rhino Fierce Species’s neck, yet the beast seemed unaware and continued dashing forward for over ten meters before coming to a stop.

Only then did Lambert’s figure slowly reveal itself in the original location, holding the Greatsword diagonally with one hand, its tip pointing downward.

Followed by a trickle of bright red blood dripping from the sword blade.

"Thud!"

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out!

The previously berserk giant rhino Fierce Species’s huge one-horned head fell from its body.

The large cut on the neck as smooth as a mirror.

The spine, blood vessels, vibrant muscle textures, all clearly visible.

"Hiss!!"

Like a small blood fountain, copious amounts of blood, under high pressure, spurted from the cut in the body’s main artery!

"Luck is good, so quickly settled the third freshwater giant rhino."

Lambert said to himself with a smile.

Upon arriving in the Secret Realm, he pursued the task required in the Re-test, to acquire the Dragon Language Mark of a young Giant Dragon.

Before entering the Secret Realm, Lambert had already planned.

Being a descendant of the Tide Sword Saint, he prioritized acquiring Talent Ability from the Water and Ice Element Blue Dragon offspring’s Dragon Language Mark.

His luck was favorable; he teleported in close to Whispering Pond.

Because Whispering Pond happened to be a settlement for some youthful Blue Dragons.

Just a quarter-hour ago, he found a youthful Blue Dragon, communicated with simple Dragon Language, then received this ’small task’.

The task required him to bring three freshwater giant rhinos, to receive a Dragon Language Mark from a Blue Dragon offspring.

The one before him was already the third one.

"It seems these three freshwater giant rhinos were just a family."

Lambert looked at the other two giant rhinos lying a short distance away, one large and one small like little mountains, pondering silently.

"Well, a family should be complete."

Just as Lambert planned to take the bodies back, he suddenly looked northeast.

"This energy fluctuation..."

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be a rare Metal Energy Particles fluctuation, huh? Doesn’t that mean Rein, who I’m looking for, is over there..."

Lambert raised a brow, thinking of something instantly.

During the Dragon Rider initial test, he observed Rein, and naturally remembered that Rein excelled in the rare Metal Series Witchcraft.

Also, another point.

This time, participating in the Secret Realm Re-test, there wasn’t another Crystallization Wizard of the Metal Series.

So, unless it was an equally rare Metal Series creature, the answer was apparent.

...

Inside the Secret Realm.

West of Flame Mountain.

As Rein and the other three examined Barnes and his party.

The three displayed vacant eyes, first glanced at Pearce’s body lying on the ground, then focused on the two women, finally fixating on Rein, never moving away.

As if they discovered something intriguing.

Rein inwardly understood somewhat.

Because Tatia’s message on the thin paper mentioned, ’According to Grand Astromancer Dalain’s advice, Void Beasts favor parasitizing beings with great physical strength, among humans, would tend to choose bloodline descendants.’

Evidently, these three Void Beasts must have seen him as a more delectable dish.

"Who exactly are you...?" The Military Department Captain Baldwin, observing their slightly rigid yet extremely fast movements, felt a slightly tightness within.

But before awaiting a reply, the three ignored everyone else and rapidly charged toward Rein.

This left the Areda sisters, who had just become Rein’s followers, feeling somewhat ignored.

The younger sister Ailida’s figure flashed, swiftly moving behind Barnes, her sharp combat blade immediately pierced downwards!

But to Ailida and everyone’s surprise, it felt as if it stuck into cotton, this strike felt almost entirely without force.

Because the opponent’s figure suddenly shifted, from solid to void, from flesh to a jelly-like semi-transparent energy form, nearly immune to Ailida’s potent combat blade stab!

"Watch out!"

Witnessing such an odd counter-strategy, the elder sister Areda immediately warned, and simultaneously, cast a Shadow Shield on her sister.
