Chapter 156: People Have Grown Numb to It (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3
Magini's expression turned serious, and he immediately knocked on his chest with his right hand wearing an iron glove, firmly stating,
"Instructor, to return to the embrace of the goddess is my long-held desire! To sacrifice myself for the eradication of evil in this world is my honor!"
"Well done, Magini!"
Rudolph patted the shoulder of the last remaining young temple knight, sighing inwardly.
It had come to this, after all!
The church had underestimated the intelligence from the Nightingale Forest.
But upon reflection, this seemed inevitable.
Recently, the manpower at the church had been too tight. The situation around Meister County was increasingly troubling, with a surge of mysterious incidents, and the church simply couldn't gather enough hands.
However... before returning to the embrace of the goddess, let's take this flesh tree spirit with us!
Just as the young temple knight named Magini was about to use a secret technique, Rudolph stopped him, saying, "Let Rein deal with more roots to create the best combat conditions. Once he can't hold on, we'll step in!"
"That way... our chance of killing the flesh tree spirit will be higher."
Magini nodded emphatically!
....
Meanwhile, Lagaray's face was solemn, her lips tightly pursed, holding the blood-etched steel shield with her fingers so tightly clenched that her knuckles turned white.
This was the second time she had felt this sense of helplessness!
The pain of being unable to do anything while her teammates struggled beside her was just too much.
She swore that if she survived this incident, she would definitely take part in a life-and-death trial.
....
The three of them were intently watching the rapidly moving orb of blades, for when it stopped, it would be Magini and Rudolph's moment to use their final coup de grâce.
At the top of the temple hall, a pair of sharp eagle eyes watched Rein, his expression shifting from disdain at first to admiration now!
Time ticked by, second by second...
One minute...
Two minutes...
"Hmm?" Rudolph and the young knight Magini looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
"How... how can Rein hold on for so long? That's way too long!" Magini couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two men, the heavy-hearted Lagaray seemed to remember something, her expression rare and briefly lit with a smile, saying,
"Rein has great stamina, sometimes I train with him all day, I'm exhausted, but he still looks energized and hardly tired at all!"
"I'm quite sure, Rein's endurance is extraordinary!"
Rudolph and Magini heard this, their faces showing a curious look, exchanging glances!
Endurance?
Their practice... was it serious practice?
You're exhausted, and he's still energized? Find adventures at empire
Can I say I don't believe it?
I've never heard of the land being weary, the ox not tired!
Moreover... you're not an ordinary woman, you're a barbarian woman! Even your stamina can't withstand it? The two thought to themselves.
But Lagaray didn't seem to notice that her words had caused a misunderstanding among the two men beside her.
Her beautiful eyes were completely focused on Rein.
Although she had just heard about the instructor Rudolph and the temple knight's last desperate strategy, she still planned to rush forward with her shield to protect Rein if his situation turned dire.
Even if it was just to block a single blow, she would rush up without hesitation!
At this moment, Rein's physical strength had nearly reached its limit, but his heart was not panicking at all.
Because he had "cheats"!
Add points and recover!
He was hesitating about how to add points.
Right now, he had three choices for adding points.
One was to add to his physical strength, which was also the most enduring choice; the second was agility, to move a bit faster, which naturally was safer; and lastly, adding points to his Spirit.
The reason for the option to add points to Spirit was to prepare for a subsequent attack on the flesh tree spirit itself.
After battling for so long, he wasn't just thinking about giving the flesh tree spirit a 'shave' and retreating, was he?
Naturally, he wanted to find a way to kill the foe!
Just then, Rein had a sudden guess.
That was, since the flesh tree spirit was called a tree spirit, was there a possibility that it was particularly afraid of fire?
Although he couldn't verify this immediately, as long as Rein could get close to its body, he could attack it with the two fire-based witchcraft spells he knew: "Scorching Touch" and "High-Temperature Force Field".
However, considering the situation, the opponent was moving quickly and had very powerful attacks, leaving very limited time for Rein to cast witchcraft.
Moreover, even if he could successfully cast the witchcraft "Scorching Touch", if the duration was too short, it might not inflict significant damage on the opponent.
This point had been verified in a previous encounter with Adams.
Otherwise, the 2,000-degree high temperature should have carbonized Adams's body directly.
Therefore, upon considering this, increasing the power of the witchcraft was crucial.
But how to enhance the power of the witchcraft, the only solution Rein knew of was to increase his spiritual power.
While fighting and thinking, Rein quickly made a decision—to add points to his Spirit!
Although whether he added points to his physical strength, agility, or Spirit, none could guarantee that he would definitely be able to kill the flesh tree spirit.
But by adding points to his Spirit, the power of his witchcraft would increase, which meant that his chances of successfully killing the flesh tree spirit would be higher.
