Chapter 280: Forgot to Tell You (Two in One Big Chapter) _2
At the very beginning, the worst scenario was both of them attacking him together, yet both, considering their own status, did not join forces against him, thus providing him with the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Suddenly, right before everyone's eyes, Ganon disappeared in an instant.
While everyone was still puzzled, Rein's pupils shrank abruptly, with a violent warning from his danger perception rising in his heart!
"Iron Wall!"
A fist covered in snake scales, surrounded by a black aura, fiercely struck Rein's Kite Shield made of Hardened Essence Gold!
"Bang!!!"
Even the hardness of Hardened Essence Gold was left with a light imprint from Ganon's fist in that instant.
Suddenly!
Although Rein had fended off the attack, the alarm in his heart grew even more intense, making his eyes narrow even more warily.
"Swoosh!"
A red shadow unexpectedly bypassed the shield and sprayed something viciously at Rein's head from above the shield!
In the blink of an eye, Rein's right hand wielding the Skull Warhammer extended its reach, suddenly elongating to block the red shadow's jaw.
This block deflected the other's charged breath, which grazed the top of Rein's head and spat onto the bushes behind, instantly burning the flowers to charred black.
Only then did everyone see clearly: it was a long snake covered in red scales. The snake had just protruded from behind Ganon's collar, its body as thick as an adult's wrist, launching an attack at Rein.
The attack was a sophisticated coordination between the man and the snake.
Meanwhile, inside the villa, Langgeler, after being treated by Cleya, managed to get up with difficulty and shouted from the window to Rein, "Lord Rein, be careful of their...."
But the next second, he couldn't continue his warning.
Because Langgeler saw that at that moment the red snake was rearing up high, flicking its tongue.
It was clear that the move had already been used, and moreover, it seemed to have no effect on Rein.
One should know, it was just because of the red snake that Langgeler had been at a great disadvantage a moment ago.
"Eh? It was actually blocked, not bad reaction, but too slow." Ganon's voice drifted unpredictably.
His strike missing did not stop him; instead, he took a step back, then diagonally retreated another step with great speed, leaving seven or eight afterimages, though he had rapidly moved over ten meters away.
Rein naturally did not allow his opponent to widen the distance. From the situation just now, it was clear that Ganon was proficient in close combat, and with the cooperation of the red snake, he could also perform powerful witchcraft attacks.
The two blurred figures were seen clashing rapidly, and from an aerial view of the garden, one could see black and silver lines intermittently crossing and flashing away, moving extremely fast.
"Bang! Crack! Cling clang clang!"
The intense sounds of battle were incessant!
But while the noises were heard, the combatants were unseen!
And in an instant, the ground was riddled with several potholes, dust billowing.
In just over ten seconds, the garden was littered with dozens of pits of various sizes!
Ganon was slightly faster, currently having the upper hand, while Rein alternately used the advanced secret techniques 'Iron Wall,' 'Flash Cut,' and 'Crushing Hammer' to fight back against Ganon.
But this process was extremely draining on stamina. Rein had once again added a point to agility, thereby successfully raising his agility attribute to 39 points, and his physical condition was restored to its peak.
"Bang!!!"
After another fierce clash, the two sprang apart and steadied themselves!
"Indeed, you have some kind of stamina talent; otherwise, your energy should have worn out by now." Ganon took a deep breath and squinted as he said to Rein.
Ganon himself felt rather uncomfortable fighting up to now.
Although he had known beforehand about Rein's stamina talents or special skills,
he had never imagined Rein's stamina to be this formidable!
In the course of fighting him, Rein usually deployed a secret technique every two or three moves, using shield-based secret techniques for defense and either axe or hammer skills for offense.
Furthermore, the power of the secret techniques was substantial, not merely at the beginner's level of familiarity, but at least of an intermediate level.
Add to that, Rein's strength was also tremendous, even slightly exceeding his.
Combined, Ganon dared not rely on the snake scale defense of his skin or the Divine Arts for defense to directly withstand Rein's secret technique attacks.
This was somewhat like an adult facing a twelve or thirteen-year-old child armed with a sharp knife: if the adult can't take the knife away, he might get injured at any moment.
Rein's eyes were bright and intensely focused as he watched Ganon, not saying a word.
Up till now, the fight felt exuberantly exhilarating to him!
At the same time, Rein also realized the benefits of mastering multiple secret techniques.
When facing different opponents, he could adopt various tactics.
Ganon, incredibly difficult to deal with, was not only extremely fast but also possessed short bursts of extremely powerful attacks, seemingly having some special enhancement in his moves, which made them especially hard to counter.
Moreover, his red snake was very tricky, appearing unpredictably long from different angles, taking breaths at him.
Luckily, he could transform his weapon at any time, elongate it or form a shield, and even before the red snake could spit, he could deflect or block its attack.
Unlike when he could only use dual-hand weapons, he had no choice but to adopt an attack-for-attack strategy!
Especially this time, when the enemy's speed was superior to his, even trying to trade blow for blow was difficult.
