Chapter 144: Chapter 127: Could it be that it was just switched out? (Two in one large chapter)_4
This made Matteo and the other Night Watchmen couldn't help but change their expressions; for a moment, they felt as if their opponent had suddenly seen through their hand!
Listening to the opponent's tone, it seemed like Rein...
Suddenly, screams erupted inside the church, one after another.
This made many family members of the Night Watchmen inside the church become agitated, turning their heads to Matteo and saying:
"Captain, let's go all out!"
"Yes, let's go all out!!"
The desperate declaration of this bunch of ants made Otis want to laugh.
"Hahaha, go all out? A bunch of ants, what do you have to compete with me!"
Just then, a young yet resonant voice suddenly erupted, "Hasn't anyone taught you to respect the warriors who face death with honor?"
Suddenly, Otis could no longer laugh!
Because a person he hadn't expected appeared in his sight, and also in the sight of the Night Watchmen.
"Rein!"
"Deputy Marshall, sir!"
At that moment when Matteo saw Rein appear, he felt an urge to cry! The burden he was carrying on his shoulders suddenly felt lifted.
"Reporting to the Deputy Marshall, a Black Flame Monk has taken control of the townspeople inside the church!"
"Matteo, you all have worked hard. Leave this place to me!" Rein, looking at the Black Flame Monk opposite him, said.
"You... you are that new knight, Rein?"
"How is this possible, you shouldn't..."
"And where's Andrews? You definitely cannot be his match!" The Black Flame Monk named Otis burst out with a triple question.
However, Rein naturally didn't bother with him and silently drew his Glimmering Greatsword.
Otis, with his brows deeply furrowed, couldn't wrap his head around this puzzle.
"Could it be that Andrews fought against you and you managed to escape?"
After thinking it over, Otis felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.
Moreover, seeing the shattered state of Rein's armor, it appeared as though Andrews had beaten him severely.
If this were true, Rein was likely a Transcendent knight with attributes like agility.
No wonder!
Otis immediately ruled out all other possibilities and arrived at a conclusion that he thought was very reliable!
For a speedy type knight like Rein, the best strategy is close combat.
If he were to use ranged attacks like Black Flame Fireballs, it would be futile if the opponent was too fast.
With his extensive combat experience, Otis quickly thought of the best strategy against Rein.
Fortunately, Otis's close combat strength was not weak either, skillful with a pair of Daggers, and although his strength was just that of a formal knight, his Transcendent attribute leaned towards agility.
Having thought all this through, Otis confidently said, "You barely escaped from Andrews's hands, yet didn't seize this luck, and even dared to come here."
"This is truly your tragedy!"
His words made Rein startle for a moment!
"Whoosh!"
Otis immediately dashed forward, charging straight at Rein.
His maneuver once again startled Rein!
Because Rein had been thinking about how to dodge the Black Flame Fireballs in the opponent's hands and then look for chances to get close to swiftly kill him.
But now what did he see?
The Black Flame Monk didn't even throw a single Black Flame Fireball at him but instead rushed towards him for a close combat?
Could there be some conspiracy here?
No matter!
Close combat is his own only advantage!
Since the opponent was so confident, maybe he was also a Strength type player; it was safer to directly use his ultimate move!
Just in time, Rein had broken through to 35% beyond his limit, stepping into the realm of a seasoned Knight, and his Transcendent trait "Huge Strength" had reached an enhancement of 60%.
Rein planned to activate an additional 25% of "Strength Burst", aiming for a total strength enhancement of 120%, to probe the depth of his opponent first.
Moreover, Rein was confident that, at this level of triple overlap state, both the duration and the side effects would be much weaker, and in a short time, there would virtually be no side effects at all.
This was the advantage of having high Constitution.
No wonder a great man once said, a good body is the capital of revolution!
As for why not to burst out with full strength?
That was because he needed to maintain a certain level of combat ability for the subsequent church rescue.
Seeing the Black Flame monk rapidly attacking Rein, Matteo, while keeping his eyes fixed, quickly said to the other Night Watchmen: "In a moment you guys from...."
But he was cut off mid-sentence!
Instead, he muttered to himself: "Rein's strength.... has reached this level...."
Suddenly, a pair of daggers flickering with a chilling cold light appeared in the hands of the Black Flame monk, attacking close in front of Rein in the blink of an eye.
As he attacked at high speed, the airflow raised rustled the battered plate armor on Rein's body!
In the moment when his adversary appeared confident.
Everyone present only heard several sounds of bowstrings being plucked, and the source was Rein in the center of the arena!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Rein's figure suddenly enlarged, his muscles bulged, especially his chest and neck, which swelled almost twice like a Zarah cobra about to attack its prey!
"Roar!!!"
A roar sounded!
A wave of tangible air Shockwave burst from Rein's mouth, spreading outwards, and Otis was the first to face it head-on!
Otis's face turned to utter horror, as he never expected Rein to have such a wide-ranging sonic attack technique.
This kind of attack was completely unavoidable; one could only withstand it!

And Otis reacted very quickly, shrinking his neck and crossing his arms in front of his face instantaneously!
"Bang!"
As the gust hit, Otis only felt a sharp pain in his ears and a buzzing in his head!
But he instinctively felt something was wrong, and just as he was about to lower his arms to check, he suddenly felt the sky darken, and then, his left eye was looking at his own right eye!
No, to be precise, his left eye saw the right side of his body, and his right eye saw the left side.
Before Otis could recover from his confusion,
His world went dark!
He succumbed to nothingness!
And at the edge of the arena, everyone was stunned, their hands covering their ears, staring dumbfounded at Rein, still in a downward chopping posture.
And... the Black Flame monk split in two!
The Night Watchmen were dumbfounded on the spot, a variety of 'ingenious thoughts' popping into their minds.
"Is this the Black Flame monk they were once terrified of?"
"The one that even Lord Hamilton was severely injured by?"
"This... couldn't have been switched out just now, right?"
"Why does it feel like Rein just chopped down a fake Black Flame monk!"
...
It truly wasn't just Rein posing.
It was because, at that moment, his Giant Bear Sword Technique had progressed to lv6.
Thus, as the Giant Bear Sword Technique smoothly stepped into lv6 (124/3000), numerous memories of training with the Giant Bear Sword Technique began to infuse into Rein's mind.
Meanwhile, the various techniques contained within these memory fragments quickly integrated into Rein's muscle memory.
However, this time seemed a bit different.
But Rein had not yet had time to fully appreciate it when he suddenly saw, the church doors straight in front of him were being opened from the inside!
