Chapter 320: The Chain Kill (Part 2)

Chapter 320: The Chain Kill (Part 2)



Inside the Imperial Camp at the Fishing Harbor Town.

Marquis Felk's expression turned solemn as he asked, "Lord Ren, is the situation that severe? Do you need to go there personally?"

Lord Ren nodded, "Yes! I suspect it's the work of the Serpent Cult."

"The Serpent Cult? I heard their main area of activity is within seven to eight provinces in the central empire. How did they end up here in Minter?"

"But... I heard this cult is quite powerful and not easy to deal with. No wonder, Lord Ren, you're personally taking action."

Marquis Felk had long held Lord Ren in high regard. Especially when Princess Menia gifted dragon scales to him, Felk knew that this young Lord Ren, if not for any unforeseen circumstances, would become an extraordinary legend in the empire. Thus, he naturally wanted to forge a good relationship early on.

Klaj, dressed in a tight-fitting hunting outfit, was pouring tea with her back turned to him, exposing a curvy backside and legs to Lord Ren, a sight that was hard to ignore.

(Note: The shadow illusion does not possess offensive capabilities.) (Shadow Step has been upgraded to a top-tier Great Technique. Requirements: 1. Brack's Assassination Dance Lv. 18 or higher (Specialization can offset some level requirements). 2. Flame Dragon Breath Lv. 16 or higher. 3. Strength 40 points, Agility 45 points, Constitution 42 points or higher. 4. Consumes 4 Golden Skill Points.) "Hmm, the range of the shadow illusion has increased as well. It was originally five meters, but now it's ten meters! This will make it even more effective in confusing the enemy." Lord Ren was delighted.

After assimilating all the memories, Lord Ren checked the Weapon Master (Legendary) attribute panel and looked at the new icon for 'Armor Piercing Strike'.

Additionally, there was a slight change in the description of the Great Technique 'Armor Piercing Strike': Armor Piercing Strike (Advanced Great Technique): Utilizes a combination of primal force and piercing power with a lance-type battle technique, resulting in an extremely penetrative strike.

Lady Iksera seemed unbothered by the death of her subordinate, Dikano. She merely glanced at his lifeless body lying in a pool of blood and continued walking forward with a smile.

"Who?" Klaj, sitting behind her desk, immediately stood up, assuming a combat stance and asking with caution.

"Ah!!!"

In other words, the number of shadow illusions had increased from four to six, excluding the real person.

With its dark vision, it had an almost perfect view in the night sky, making it the best scout.

Lord Ren was delighted by their time-consuming actions.

At this moment, Dikano's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't understand how his protective magic and snake-scaled skin couldn't even withstand the attack for a second. Lord Ren slightly lifted his lance, lifting Dikano's twitching body and lightly tossing it into the air.

The lance pierced Dikano's neck! Warm blood splattered on the ground behind him! As the intense pain from his neck spread, Dikano could only gasp, 'Heh heh...', his trembling finger pointing at Lord Ren, unable to utter a word.

Lord Ren glanced at the others. Unlike him, they couldn't recover by spending skill points, so even the uninjured members like Annaro looked exhausted.

"Necromancy! Shadow Illusion! Metal Morph!"

It was clear that Dikano's death as a comrade had left him feeling sorrowful.

Above Habs Castle, a dark shadow swiftly passed by in the sky—it was the Bloodplume Harpy, Bloodplume.

Lady Iksera, enraged and ready to strike, was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the transparent shadow illusion.

As for the injured Remir and the others, they were in no condition to fight.

The knight, riding the griffin in a high-speed dive, thrust his lance downward, tearing through the air.

"Yes, the situation is as follows: This afternoon, around two o'clock, the Jodel Steward of Habs Castle went missing."

Lord Ren approached Anna, gently ruffling her hair, and said, "Don't worry, Anna. Don't you trust my abilities?"

Upon seeing Lord Ren, Klaj felt a heavy burden lift from her heart.

"Slap!"

Her buttocks were round and curvy, her legs straight and slightly thinner than her wine glass legs, but they exuded strength and flexibility.

The entire person was then struck by a powerful force, slamming them into the wall behind them.

The black membrane shattered like a bubble!

"Cough, I'll be right back. I need to go out for a bit."

"Then you're useless to me!" Lord Ren nodded.

And this was the second time they had been shaken!

At the same time, Lord Ren spotted Anna in the crowd, her big eyes looking at him with disappointment.

"Can you come back tomorrow morning?"

"How much time is left until the next attack?"

Behind Lord Ren, assisting Lady Iksera in the attack, was another black-robed figure—Timsh.

A smile appeared on Lord Ren's face as he turned to look at Klaj.

While the shadow step effect was optimal when holding light weapons like daggers or knives, it still worked with heavy weapons, albeit with reduced phantoms and diminished effects.

Klaj was just about to turn around with a teacup in her hand when she noticed Ren's expression and immediately realized what was going on, her face turning slightly red.

As Flame Dragon Breath had already reached level 18, it far exceeded the prerequisites for advancing Shadow Step to an advanced Great Technique.

"However, this can be compensated by improving the Great Technique level."

"Yes, my lord."

"In that case, I'll have my deputy accompany you personally."

"Yes!" Klaj smiled slightly and watched as Ren quickly disappeared from the window.

Ren, instead of engaging in close combat, used a series of shadow illusions to appear in front of Timshi, holding a warhammer in his hand.

"Didn't you try to find the opponent's hidden location?"

The emblem inside the carriage changed from a knight riding a warhorse to a knight riding a griffin.

"It was my turn to ask you a question, and you haven't answered me yet." Ren smiled, unbothered by the distance the other had created.

"The effect of Armor Piercing Strike is excellent, and it should be very effective against enemies with magical defenses."

The speed was so fast that there was no time to react!

"Of course not. Because it proves your strength, and if I kill you, wouldn't I benefit from it?" Iksera laughed.

"I think I've found it!"

Ren, sitting on the griffin, had no intention of chatting with Julie. At this moment, his attention was focused on the system panel.

"Hsss!"

Ren nodded, understanding that with such a large castle, including the guards and servants, there were over two hundred people, making it impossible to cover every area.

"Haha, interesting. Not bad strength. I didn't expect Dicano to die at your hands."

Klaj's long-term knight training had honed her skills, and her noble upbringing had cultivated an exceptional demeanor.

During the battle with Sereniss, Ren realized that the intermediate Great Technique, Shadow Step, had high applicability and could be combined with various weapon attacks.

Her heart was pounding with excitement.

Timshi couldn't help but scream in shock! At the same time, he couldn't understand why the hell he wasn't going to confront Lady Iksera?

"Don't be nervous, Klaj. It's me." A familiar voice sounded.

Despite being a beautiful female knight, the man behind her, Lord Ren, barely spoke to her. After a short while, his aura suddenly released, startling her griffin.

Just as Iksera was about to say something.

Dicano calmly watched his Black Mamba, which slowly appeared behind a maid who was about to use the toilet.

Read the original novel at 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first release.

It was as if Ren was single-mindedly practicing the lance Great Technique, Armor Piercing Strike, in a mysterious space for over twenty years.

But Lord Felk had already instructed that the man behind him was extremely powerful, and she should not offend him.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then they started chattering.

Ren couldn't help but feel a little distracted by this scene.

"It's my honor to serve you, Lord Ren. Should we depart now?"

"Hehe, no matter who you are, when Lady Iksera arrives, you're dead!"

The two people Ren had killed earlier also had various snake-shaped marks.

He planned to wait for the maid to squat down before letting the Black Mamba strike.

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out of his head!

"If Shadow Step is advanced to a Great Technique, holding a lance or a two-handed warhammer should at least maintain more than five shadow illusions." Ren thought to himself.

His entire demeanor suddenly relaxed.

Ren spent a total of seven golden skill points, and the system notifications rang out one after another: 【Congratulations, you have understood the intermediate Great Technique of the lance: Armor Piercing Strike!】

Inside the emblem, the thin man with a dagger transformed into seven people, each in different attacking postures, vividly depicted.

Timshi's gaze shifted to the corpse on the ground, his expression uncertain.

"Huh? You don't know who I am?"

As the griffin arrived at the edge of Mester County Town, Ren thought for a moment and said to Julie in front of him, "Julie, you can let me off here."

Dicano was startled, his eyes widening, and he quickly jumped three meters away, his gaze shifting to the direction of the voice, his eyes wide with a look of terror! Although Dicano was only a first-level wizard, he had achieved 90% mist form, and in a few years, he would enter the second-level liquid form wizard.

Lord Ren intended to quietly approach Baron Habus' castle without alerting the enemy.

So, Ren waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll ride the griffin there first. You can recover and come over tomorrow morning."

Julie quickly understood Ren's intention.

The effect of the lance and the two-handed warhammer differed greatly when facing magical shields, a defense with strong resilience or flexibility. As a blunt weapon, the hammer's kinetic energy would be absorbed, resulting in a significant drop in damage.

"Ren smiled and repeated."

But the next second, he froze! "Shua!"

"That's right!" Digano didn't know if the other party was genuinely stupid or pretending, as he saw himself shaking the man, but he was still so slow and leisurely chatting with him.

Skull-shattering!

"What are you doing here?" A strange male voice rang out in Digano's ear!

A tall figure familiar to Klaj appeared in her sight!

(Note: If there is a suitable mount to cooperate with, the power of Armor Piercing Strike will be enhanced. [To upgrade Armor Piercing Strike to an Ultimate Technique, the following conditions must be met: Longiro's Lance lv18 or above (expertise can offset part of the level requirement); Fire Dragon Breath lv16 or above; Strength 50 points, Dexterity 45 points, Stamina 45 points or above; Consumes 4 Golden Skill Points.) At this moment, Philk, the Gryphon Knight responsible for sending Ren to Minster County City, felt a bit awkward.

"Ren! Why are you here!" Klaj's pretty face immediately showed surprise, and then she smiled brightly.

"Captain, please be careful!"

At that moment, Ren didn't have the mind to linger at the banquet. After greeting the Major General in charge of the camp, he came to his own side.

"Yeah, let's set off together now!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Oh, do you mind if I kill your subordinate?" Ren raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Bo~"

Although the name didn't change much, the icon for 'Shadow Step' on the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel underwent a significant transformation.

"Then, isn't someone extra in the duel between you and me?" Ren smiled and said.

Ren's mind stirred slightly.

"22 Golden Skill Points, 4 used, now 18 remaining." Ren's eyes flashed.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Lord Philk." Ren thanked him.

If this Lord Ren continued to play like this, she might be able to endure it, but the Gryphon under her might suddenly go out of control!

[Congratulations, you have understood the Advanced Technique of Longiro's Lance: Armor Piercing Strike!]



Although she knew that the enemy was lurking nearby, waiting to launch an attack, she wasn't as worried as before.

"I can get a portion of soul energy, can't waste it." Ren muttered to herself.

"Since that's the case, let's go ahead and upgrade 'Armor Piercing Strike' directly to an Advanced Technique!"

"Hello, Julie, thank you for your hard work."

After a moment of thought, Ren looked at the remaining 22 Golden Skill Points on the attribute panel and immediately decided to upgrade 'Shadow Step' to an Advanced Technique.

Therefore, after Ren spent two Golden Skill Points to upgrade Brak's Assassination Dance Steps and another two Golden Skill Points to break through, the system prompted: [Congratulations, you have understood the Advanced Technique of Brak's Assassination Dance Steps!]



There were many ring-shaped lines on both sides of the lance, seemingly indicating that when it was thrust out, the airflow was like a tornado.

When Ren arrived at the Gryphon camp, he found that Philk's deputy was actually a rare female Great Knight. She had golden hair and a beautiful face.

"Hmm!" Digano's expression darkened, and he suddenly took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it.

Suddenly, Ren turned abruptly, and a short spear appeared in his hand, which he threw forcefully!

"Hmm!" Ren's intimate action immediately dispelled Anna's original disappointment, and she shyly nodded, not saying anything more.

However, as he spoke, his peripheral vision glanced slightly behind him.

"Everyone, I need to go to Minster County City immediately. The Serpent Cult might have appeared." After waiting for a minute, Ren looked at a certain place and said, "Since you're already here, don't hide anymore."

A sharp piercing sound rang out, and Timshi felt his eyes blur for a moment, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Ren had thought that the Serpent Cult's visit this time was because they had already killed two high-ranking members of the cult and had a clear understanding of him. However, from the expression on their faces, they seemed to have no idea who he was.

"Yes." Klaj nodded.

"Are you calling your companions?" Ren asked calmly.

'How did you appear?' Digano was still a little frightened.

This point was confirmed again by Ren in the description of the Advanced Technique: Shadow Step (Advanced Technique) Effect: A special step that combines the power of the force with leg strength, leaving six extra phantoms within a ten-meter radius around the user to confuse enemies.

"Okay!"

Actually, Ren had misunderstood.

Icela did indeed learn from Butler Yodel that the murderer who killed her brother was named Ren, but the description she received was of a person skilled in using a two-handed war hammer.

Usually, he carried a two-handed war hammer on his back.

Therefore, Icela didn't connect the real Ren, who was using 'Necromancy' magic, with the murderer who killed her brother as described by her sources.
