Chapter 1277: Chapter 431: Void Dragon (Part 2)

The silver sword scar that lingered in the air for several seconds drew astonished reactions from many.

In theory, a Void Beast, nearly immune to physical attacks, is very difficult for an ordinary Sword Master to defeat. Yet unexpectedly, Lambert dealt with it so effortlessly.

"This Lambert’s strength seems to be just a hair’s breadth away from a Sword Saint."

"Hmm, his visit to the Secret Realm this time was indeed the right choice."

"He should thank Lord Rein for not killing him outright when he was defeated."

...

At this moment, seemingly because everything was going smoothly on Lambert’s side, the scene on the stone platform shifted to Baldwin’s side.

There, he and the Areda Sisters, a group of three, were quickly moving toward the western side of the ring-shaped mountain range. Due to the distance, they had just about to exit the Evergreen Forest.

After observing for a while, everything was going smoothly for the trio.

Soon, the scene switched again.

"Huh?"

Many people suddenly showed expressions of interest.

Because the current scene was precisely Rein’s scene.

At the moment, Rein was battling Collins, and judging from the situation, there was more defense than attack, indicating a disadvantage.

This made Augustus’s face tense, and he said to Tatia next to him, "Who is this? Is he in the intelligence report? To be able to be evenly matched with Lord Rein, is the opponent really this strong?"

Tatia glanced at Collins in the scene, looking puzzled, then quickly checked the information and said:

"The opponent is Collins Glick, also the direct son of the Pope of the Church of Limbs, nicknamed ’Dragon-Slaying Axe.’

"According to intelligence from half a month ago, the opponent is at Legendary Peak strength. In theory, he shouldn’t be able to fight Lord Rein to this extent."

"Of course, there is a small probability that the opponent is hiding his true strength."

"No, it should be Lord Rein deliberately hiding his strength, although I don’t know the reason." Marshal Alfred, with just a glance, noticed something amiss.

"Look quickly!" Someone pointed at the scene.

Everyone immediately looked over, instantly turning their heads!

Because originally Rein, who was fighting Collins, flickered and disappeared. When his figure appeared again, he had transformed into a Dragon-man, grabbing a semi-transparent Dragon Claw behind a Demon Statue.

"Is this... the Void Dragon?" Tatia exclaimed.

Suddenly, she recalled that Rein had previously suggested adjusting the Rift Closer’s power to normal levels, and Tatia instantly realized, saying:

"I understand now. Lord Rein’s purpose in the intense battle with Collins was to deliberately lure the Void Dragon to strike. It seems that Lord Rein intends to bring this Void Dragon into the Secret Realm to eliminate it!"

Upon hearing Tatia’s words, everyone, including Marshal Alfred, nodded in agreement.

This explanation was very reasonable.

"But this Void Dragon, according to analyst estimates, is likely as powerful as the previous Avatar of the Nether Sea Goddess. If they fail, then..."

"Isn’t Lord Rein being a bit too reckless with this?" General Campbell said, frowning.

After all, with the situation already overwhelmingly favorable, taking such a risk seemed unnecessary to Campbell.

"This Void Dragon is very powerful, and if it continues to roam around the edges of the Secret Realm in the void, it’s a ticking time bomb for the safety of the Secret Realm," Augustus said in a deep voice.

"General Augustus, you are right, but the premise is that Lord Rein is sure of defeating the opponent. If he fails or angers the opponent, the probability of the Secret Realm’s space being attacked will greatly increase," Campbell said.

"I believe Lord Rein would not do something he’s not confident about!" Augustus replied.

At this point, Campbell stopped talking.

After all, he was only expressing his opinion, not trying to argue with Augustus.

...

Scene at Flame Mountain.

The scene before him left Collins in stunned uncertainty!

"This level of strength..."

In an instant, he understood the cause and effect. This young man’s target was never him but to deceive the real enemy—the Void Dragon—through their fight.

This immediately brought him a sense of elation, but at the same time, a feeling of being ignored due to his weak strength, a sense of humiliation.

The intertwining of these two feelings made his face flush red and white, wanting to retreat but feeling unwilling!

After all, as the Pope’s direct son, when had he ever been ignored like this by someone, and furthermore, by such an unheard-of young man from the Empire?

How detestable!

You brat!

Do you think what you’ve seen is all my strength?

I was merely saving my Essence Blood to deal with that kind of real powerhouse just a moment ago.

Go to hell!

Collins tore off the heavy cloak draped over him, revealing two pairs of tightly closed dragon heads, with withered skin, both at the front and back—an astonishing sight.

The dragon heads were connected to two thick arms grafted onto the chest and back, which, from this point, appeared to be far superior to the move that ’Multi-Armed’ Pearce used at the last moment.

This also explained why his body was so bulky.

As Collins injected the Essence Blood into the two pairs of dragon heads, his complexion grew even paler, while the dragon heads, grafted onto the thick arms, were raised high, simultaneously swelling and growing rapidly due to the influx of blood.

Soon, the two withered dragon heads became as lively as if they had just been severed.
