Chapter 981: Chapter 346: Transformation (Double-Length Chapter) (3)

"Damn, so strong!"

"Report quickly! There’s a Quasi-Legendary strongman fighting at the Beverly Pass channel!"

"No! This is a Legendary strongman!"

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards couldn’t help but be astonished.

...

Meanwhile, the battle between Rein and Erikson grew more intense.

Suddenly, Erikson’s aura surged fiercely, and the black flames on him began to burn intensely, covering his entire body. The Finger Tiger in his hand also glowed red, like a branding iron.

"Fire Tongue Strike!"

Suddenly, the opponent threw a punch toward Rein, who raised his hand to block. However, he found the black flames in the opponent’s hand suddenly soared a meter, like the tongue of an ox, licking toward his face.

Although the Demonized Silver Kite Shield morphed from the Metal Barrier instantly blocked in front, the fire tongue exploded upon contact!

The violent explosive impact knocked Rein back several meters.

"Flame Storm Strike!"

After landing a strike, Erikson continuously unleashed punches. At that moment, hundreds, thousands of dense sparks rushed toward Rein.

"Dragon Roar!"

"Sword Blade Storm!"

Rein’s Hardened Essence Gold instantly morphed into a Dual-Handed Greatsword, and over a hundred four-pointed shurikens blasted toward the opponent.

At once, the red flame storm and the dark Sword Blade Storm clashed fiercely together.

"Boom boom!"

A few sparks pierced through the Sword Blade Storm, hitting Rein and continuously exploding.

Erikson wasn’t well off either, as over ten four-pointed shurikens stuck into his rock-like body, though they didn’t penetrate deeply, thin streams of blood seeped out.

The battle entered a brief hiatus.

"Weakness Control!"

For the first time, Rein activated the core skill of the Epic Level Profession ’King of Thousand Blades.’

Instantly, in Rein’s vision, the opponent’s body was outlined as if by a three-dimensional pattern, marked with blue, yellow, and red points to indicate differences in defense strength.

About two-thirds of the opponent’s area shimmered with yellow light, indicating medium defense strength.

One-third of the area shimmered with blue light, indicating very strong defense.

Of course, these points aren’t static; as the opponent’s posture and techniques change, defense strong points (blue points) can turn into defense weak points (red points).

Rein quickly discovered that the opponent’s lower body’s knee positions consistently had red points, sometimes only slightly red, sometimes deeply red.

This meant that there was a more noticeable flaw there.

Rein swiftly morphed his right hand into a Short Spear, proactively attacked Erikson, feigned an attack on the upper part, and suddenly stabbed the opponent’s knee, piercing a small hole.

But in the next second, the opponent flashed with Black Radiance, hitting Rein’s chest with both hands simultaneously.

"Boom!!"

The Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor shattered, and Rein was blasted several meters by black fire, even with top-level Steel Body defense, Rein’s chest broke skin after repeated severe hits.

"You...."

Erikson pulled out the Short Spear from his abdomen. He intended to ask, ’How did you discover my weakness?’

But immediately Erikson realized that asking this would lower his morale.

"You think you’ve won?"

Erikson, filled with rage, tossed the Short Spear and glared at Rein.

The round hole-shaped wound on his knee began to close, sprouting dense granulation, and within a few seconds, it healed completely on its own.

"Young man, you have some strength, but do you know? I was only using half of my power earlier because fighting at full power requires transformation, which consumes too much!"

"However, you have earned this privilege!"

"Prepare your last words!" Erikson said with a sneer.

"Oh? Transformation?"

Rein looked at the opponent with a meaningful gaze.

Simultaneously, he muttered in a low voice that others couldn’t hear: "Transformation, actually I can do it too, but it’s really too ugly!"

...

Suddenly, Erikson’s entire body split open!

To be precise, the black lines on his skin surface cracked abruptly due to the intense changes inside the body.

In an instant, Erikson grew to about three meters tall; his skin remained but felt like small sticky paper patches stuck on a significantly larger blood-red puppet.

"Whoo!"

The opponent swung a punch toward Rein, blasting out a white sonic barrier.

"Boom!"

With an enormous increase in strength and speed, Erikson’s punch instantly sent Rein flying more than ten meters, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating a depression while smoke and dust rose tens of meters high.

Immediately, Erikson, taking advantage, didn’t let up; his massive figure swept a gale and swiftly dashed into the smoke and dust.

This scene made Anna and Merita’s hearts hang instantly.

"No, I have to help Rein." Anna impulsively rushed forward.

But just then, a hand reached out to stop Anna, saying:

"Miss Anna, if you go up, you’ll only distract Lord Rein. From what I see, he doesn’t seem afraid of the opponent, probably has a trump card in hand."

"This...." Anna understood.

Indeed, earlier she acted out of concern.

Upon closer thought, from her impression, Rein always managed to defeat formidable enemies.

This time he should too....

...

As Erikson charged into the smoke and dust, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Rein.
