Chapter 1409: Chapter 480: Unexpected Turn of Events

The other advanced generals on the airship looked at the young general with an expression that seemed to say he was a fool.

Is this really the issue at hand?

Shouldn’t a normal person be shocked by Lord Rein’s power?

However, this guy did say something correct.

Though the Ancient Giant Beast, Ice Sea Giant Demon Gazrian, has yet to be defeated, the scales of victory have greatly tipped in our favor.

So everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Vice Speaker Bertrand held his bronze telescope for a long time without putting it down.

He watched Rein slowly approach the figure of the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"No wonder the intelligence department has been strongly suggesting that we must find a way to recruit this Empire’s genius youth, Rein."

"Remember Trena mentioned Rein in her report after her visit."

"But who would have thought that he could be such a genius!"

"It’s just... now, wanting to recruit this exceptionally talented young man, ordinary methods may not work...."

Vice Speaker Bertrand’s thoughts began to drift.

After all, from Red Queen Menia’s attitude, it’s clear that the Empire also highly values Rein, having given him an extremely high position.

Combined with his background in the Empire, conventional recruitment tactics might be too slow and ineffective.

Bertrand solemnly said:

"Immediately contact the intelligence department and get the latest intelligence report on Lord Rein."

"Such youth, such talent! In the Empire, it’s truly a waste..."

...

On the ground.

After killing the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon, Rein approached the enormous corpse and reached into the bleeding wound.

In others’ eyes, Rein was cautious, verifying whether the beast was truly killed.

As Rein’s hand reached into the still-warm wound, a system prompt suddenly appeared:

[Ding! Host has touched the Blood Essence of the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon, detected absorbable Dragon Gene Segment, do you want to absorb?]

(Note: Absorbing this Dragon Gene Segment will enhance the host’s Dragon Bloodline concentration.)

"Just as expected, the system mentioned ’partial’."

"Given my current state, this offers improvement, but not significantly so."

Rein smiled and immediately chose "Yes!"

Instantly, Rein felt a warm current flow from his hand inside the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon’s body, swiftly circulating throughout his entire body.

After one or two seconds, Rein quickly rose and left.

The process was smooth, concealing it from others.

However, Rein could feel subtle changes and enhancements deep within his body, although the changes weren’t significant.

For example, on the attribute panel, the Mutated Dragon Bloodline still showed as ’Pure Blood.’

This indicates no change in bloodline level.

He had anticipated this situation.

Bloodline level, akin to a staircase, only advances after reaching a certain increase.

Moreover, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve at higher stages.

"As more Dragon Genes are absorbed, the general Giant Dragon Blood and Mixed-blood Dragon Descendant Bloodline Essence seem to have diminishing effects on me."

"In that case, the Ice Sea Giant Demon Gazrian might offer a pleasant surprise for great enhancement."

Rein’s eyes sparkled as he looked towards Gazrian’s colossal figure in the distance, pondering.

"But failing to advance to the next stage doesn’t matter; subtle enhancements in bloodline concentration will boost the proportion of True Damage in ’Dragon Soul Strike!’"

"My strength has also improved."

...

At that moment, amidst gaps in combat with the Ice Sea Giant Demon Gazrian, Menia on Red Dragon Tasa glanced back at Rein’s battlefield.

The scene stunned her!

The area around Rein was strewn with the corpses of Sea Beasts and Sea God Sect’s black-robed cultists, clearly all slain.

Even the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon, which had fought her twice, now lay in a pool of blood....

This...

Menia clearly remembered seeing the battle here ten seconds ago. Federation Sword Saint Terrio was struggling to hold off, and Rein had yet to arrive.

But after such a short moment, the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon and Sea God Sect’s forces were annihilated?

For a moment, Menia was bewildered!

However, being lost in thought during battle is perilous.

"Watch out! Prince Menia!" exclaimed Reginald beside her.

A massive Ice Crystal Mist was sweeping towards Menia and her dragon partner Tasa in the sky; it was Ice Sea Giant Demon Gazrian’s special Breath, ’Frost Freeze.’

The ’Red Queen’ Menia snapped back to reality, her expression changing as she urgently controlled Red Dragon Tasa to evade.

Although narrowly avoiding it, Tasa’s defensive witchcraft like ’Resistance Fire Ring’ and ’Flame Shield’ shattered upon slight contact with the mass of ice crystal.

For a moment, a clash of high and freezing temperatures enveloped the surroundings in mist!

Reginald was surprised by Menia’s distraction during the battle.

For ’Red Queen’ Menia, a Dawn Wizard with extremely rich combat experience, such behavior was unprofessional.
