Chapter 284: Dragon Knight (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3
Just as Rein set down the ancient hero Mong's corpse and was about to pursue, Langgeler and Flay approached and said,
"Lord Rein, you needn't trouble yourself further with these matters. Leave them to us!"
Rein thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Very well!"
Rein then sat down directly on a piece of broken stone, slowly steadied his breathing, and began to reflect on the recent battle.
At that moment, whether familiar with Rein or not, everyone who saw the young man sitting quietly on the stone slab dared not disturb him.
So, a peculiar scene appeared in the garden.
A young man seemed isolated from the world, sitting on a stone, holding a gigantic warhammer tinted blue and white, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, others were busy with their own tasks.
A group was chasing into a tunnel while others, surrounding the young man, spread out and vigilantly stood guard.
...
Initially, Olena had intended to approach Rein, seated alone on the stone, to offer some words of praise.
But seeing Rein deep in thought, she hesitated, feeling it inappropriate to disturb him.
As the Deputy Minister of the Sword Bearers' Affairs Hall, Olena well understood the magnitude of Rein's contribution!
Even she, experienced and knowledgeable, was witnessing for the first time an enemy legend being slain by their side.
Unable to approach yet filled with excitement, Olena's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.
She immediately took out a quill pen and started to write frantically.
Because she was too excited, her writing was somewhat messy.
Quickly, Olena crumpled the paper in her hand, discarded it, and took out a new sheet.
This time, she took a deep breath to calm her emotions and then began writing again.
The Chief Maid, seeing Olena writing so earnestly, couldn't help but curiously approach to see what was written on the paper:
"...Earl Habbs Mansion, faced with the second stealth attack from the Black Flame Cult, the enemy deployed an ancient legend whose strength hadn't fully recovered, whom the cultists call 'Ancient Hero Mong'...."
"....Our side's golden level Sword Bearer Captain, Lord Rein, in a one-on-one duel, struck down the ancient hero Mong on the spot...."
After some thought, Olena decided to also mention the situation of others, although the Blade Squadron didn't belong to the Mingster Sword Bearers Branch, and neither did the Griffin Knights.
"...The remaining enemy personnel were also defeated in a combined attack by the Blade Squadron and the Griffin Knights...."
Looking at the completed report, Olena nodded in satisfaction.
This way of writing seemed to highlight Lord Rein's excellence even more!
...
Meanwhile Rein was reminded that he hadn't checked the system prompt yet.
Sure enough, the prompt flooded the screen:
...
[You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legendary) experience +7847]
[You have experienced a battle, Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) experience +3991]
[You have experienced a battle, Beast Priest (Legendary) experience +1387]
...
(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed a 30% increase from the exclusive talent "Basic Extraordinary Understanding.")
[Congratulations, you have defeated a formidable enemy and earned 11 Golden Skill Points!]
[Congratulations, your Will (hidden attribute) has increased!]
...
[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) Profession Level has increased!]
[Congratulations, your Beast Priest (Legendary) Profession Level has increased!]
...
The Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) Profession Level, which had just advanced to lv5 not long ago, had risen another level, reaching lv6 (2611/3000).
Although the Weapon Master (Legendary) had not leveled up, the large amount of experience acquired brought his progress bar well past the halfway mark, reaching lv9 (8074/10000).
Rein was slightly surprised that the Beast Priest (Legendary) had risen two levels, reaching lv5 (49/2000).
This was indeed an unexpected joy!
The advancement of these two legendary professions, Warhammer Wizard and Beast Priest, also granted Rein an additional 3 attribute points and 3 skill points.
Including his previously remaining points, Rein now had 5 remaining attribute points, a total of 5 skill points, and 11 Golden Skill Points.
Huh?
Will had also increased by 1 point?
Rein checked his attribute panel and saw that the hidden attribute, Will, had now strikingly reached 2 points.
...
Constitution: 43 (3 points added during combat)
Strength: 46
Agility: 44
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 2
...
The intense battle seemed to be the best test for Will.
Without a doubt, the enemy—Ancient Hero Mong—was the most formidable opponent Rein had ever faced.
If it hadn't been for catching the opponent off guard at the start with his strongest move "Soul Shatter Strike," the subsequent battle would have been impossible to fight.
In fact, the main reliance for defeating the opponent was also the true damage from the second "Soul Shatter Strike."
If it had just depended on his current actual attack power, breaking through the opponent's physical defense and inflicting serious injuries would still have been extremely difficult.
"Such is the power of the core skill of the top legendary profession, Warhammer Wizard!" Rein couldn't help but exclaim.
"If I hadn't switched to the Warhammer Wizard, this battle might really not have turned around. The best outcome would have been just relying on the swift step of the fast horse to quickly escape."
"But in that case, that would have been...."
"I still need to strengthen my power...."
Immediately, Rein thought of the two talent points he had just earned.
Upon reflection, Rein understood.
