Chapter 470 - 255: Why Are You Suddenly Looking at Me? (2)
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the granite floor of the banquet hall immediately shattered. Yejiya was about to perform a Tornado Slash, but in the next second, he froze in place.
He remained in the spinning slash position, staring in astonishment at his beloved pet, his meticulously raised spike-backed dragon.
The eyes of the opponent were filled with pain, despair, and horror.
At the level of this dragon, its intelligence was already comparable to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child, able to convey a rich array of emotions through eye contact.
Yejiya, with a face ashen, quickly glanced at Raine, his eyes full of shock, anger, and a trace of trepidation.
He had completely underestimated the young man in front of him.
He clearly looked so young;
Clearly seemed to have only a Level 6 Classes;
Yet he was more experienced, ruthless, and decisive than many Transcendents!
He chose to stubbornly endure the poison spray just to create an opportunity for a one-hit kill!
Witnessing this scene, the entire time in the banquet hall seemed to freeze, and the original chaos, noise, and whispers all vanished.
At this moment, you could hear a pin drop!
"Szzz!"
The still-twitching claws of the spike-backed dragon, through muscle reflex, seemed to scrape against the ground, breaking the silence with a noise!
"Such a ferocious dragon died just like that?"
"This young man... no, my lord is truly formidable! Have you heard of him?"
The eyes of the noblewomen and ladies hiding in the corner completely changed as they looked at Raine.
Nearby, Aaron, Laisa, and the others, besides Laisa who was flushed with excitement, Aaron and his companions exchanged bewildered glances:
"I somehow feel that Lord Raine’s strength seems to have increased again."
"Or did he not use his full strength last time?"
"But this is just too incredible?!"
...
At the same time.
In the center of the banquet hall, Earl York and his family guards were all dumbfounded.
The awakened Earl York had his son’s words echoing in his mind: "Lord Raine... Transcendent strength... we should invite him..."
Clearly, this time, he was wrong.
His son Aaron was right.
If not for Aaron also inviting this Mr. Raine here, henceforth, the York family would be forever erased from Warwick City.
’Was I blind?’
’No matter! Aaron is my son; his judgment is the family’s fortune!’
Understanding this, the regret in Earl York’s heart instantly vanished, leaving only relief, joy, and happiness!
In stark contrast to Earl York’s immense delight, at this moment, by his side, the Earl of Cumbria was suddenly filled with immense shock.
He finally understood why Lilith, the Level 10 Demon Mage, would make him defend and be on his guard.
And he also noticed that something seemed wrong with Lilith beside him.
The originally beautiful face of the other had turned pale, her mouth muttering softly incessantly:
"I knew it would be like this!"
"I knew it would be like this..."
A formidable Level 10 Demon Mage, scared into a state of distraction, couldn’t help but shrink back.
This left the Earl of Cumbria puzzled.
Is there really a need for such fear?
Although the spike-backed dragon of the Black Fist Commander, Lord Yejiya, was slain by this young man named Raine, Lord Yejiya himself wasn’t injured.
On the contrary, the armor on that Raine at this moment was sizzling with corrosive sounds and gray smoke, clearly showing he had suffered some damage from the spike-backed dragon’s venom.
This increase and decrease, in the eyes of the Earl of Cumbria, placed Lord Yejiya’s winning odds at least at sixty percent.
However, Lilith thought otherwise; at this moment, her mind was focused on one thought: To immediately report Lord Raine’s presence here to her Lord Siegfried.
Realizing this, Lilith quietly slipped through the side door and fled the banquet hall.
Beside the corpse of the spike-backed dragon.
Yejiya’s face was so dark it seemed about to drip water, as his knife-like gaze fixed on Raine.
The death of the spike-backed venom dragon had also thrown his future promotion plans into major upheaval, and if he had to nurture another dragon...
Not to mention how much energy and resources would be consumed; mutated dragon eggs are rare and hard to come by!
He spoke no more than necessary.
When a drop of dark green venom fell on Raine’s power helmet, slightly obscuring his vision.
Yejiya moved!
So fast it was almost impossible to see his silhouette. One moment he was in his original place, the next he was several meters in front of Raine, wielding a two-handed greatsword, slashing down towards Raine’s head with an Erosion Cut from above.
The greatsword emitted a faint black glow, composed of an extremely condensed Erosion Energy.
Imagine once hit, apart from the massive damage from the blade itself, there would also be a strong Erosion Energy attack.
Raine’s pupils slightly contracted as he tightened his grip on the epic shield ’Wall of the Dead’, expertly raising the shield to block.
The instant the greatsword met the shield!
"Clang!!"
Dazzling sparks burst forth.
The piercing clash of metal echoed through the banquet hall.
Although Yejiya’s strike was blocked, even with Raine’s second-stage gigantification, the sheer force forced him to step back half a step, and his arm felt slightly numb.
Raine’s expression turned serious as he looked intently at the opponent.
The opponent’s strength surpassed that of Black Fist Commander Gerkuk whom he had faced before.
Of course, it might be that when he killed Gerkuk, Gerkuk was already seriously injured.
And Yejiya, simultaneously, was sent flying back seven or eight meters by the rebound force of Raine’s shield.
A glimmer of surprise flashed across his eyes as if he hadn’t expected Raine’s reaction to be so quick, nor that the venom of the Spined Dragon didn’t seem to affect Raine much.
After a brief separation, an even more intense clash of hammer, shield, and great sword ensued!
For a moment, the blue-white light representing Frost Energy and the dense black light representing Erosion Energy clashed fiercely in the field.
"Sss!"
A white ice crystal infused with black energy shot through the several-inch-thick hardwood tabletop like an arrow, easily as if piercing a thin sheet of paper.
The area around the hole began to rapidly corrode, expanding from an initial thumb-sized diameter to a fist-sized cavity.
The mere aftermath of the attack reaching this extent caused those standing by to change their expressions drastically and retreat rapidly.
"Clang!"
After another fierce collision, Raine and Yejiya both leveraged the force to retreat several meters.
"Freezing Wind!"
Suddenly, the hammer in Raine’s hand, the Counterattacker, glowed with a dazzling blue-white light, and a strong frost energy fluctuation began to permeate the surroundings.
"Are you a God-favored one?"
Yejiya’s eyes slightly widened in immense shock.
But his reaction was just as swift; he lifted his two-handed great sword high and quickly formed a black vortex with the Erosion Energy.
With Yejiya’s shout:
"Erosion Shock!"
The wave-like blue-white frost energy collided in the center of the banquet hall with the black vortex formed by Erosion Energy.
"Boom!"
The energy shot straight upwards, piercing through the third-floor ceiling, and the airwaves that dispersed were like a hurricane sweeping across the land!
Seconds later, a scene akin to a storm passing came into the people’s view.
Yejiya’s armor, gloves, hair, and even eyebrows were covered with white frost flowers. Clearly, in the recent confrontation, he was slightly at a disadvantage.
However, even with the upper hand, Raine slightly furrowed his brows.
He initially planned to use the White Dragon Monster Skill ’Freezing Wind’ to gain an instant opportunity to unleash the Hammer of Anger and strike down this Dragon Rider at once.
Since Lilith appeared here, he had to guard against the potential presence of Light and Shadow Envoy Siegfried.
’Since it’s like this...’
Raine’s eyes narrowed.
In the bloodline panel that no one could see, ’Gray Dwarf Combat Priest’ was quietly replaced.
’Frost Giant Commander bloodline’ was placed instead.
As his gaze swiftly swept over the Spell-like Ability ’Brutality’, Raine then turned his eyes toward the ’Earl of Cumbria’ and the seventeen or eighteen elites behind him.
Raine’s glance made ’Earl of Cumbria’ feel like a bucket of ice water had been poured from head to toe.
’No! The battle was going well! Why suddenly look at me?’
The very next moment, ’Earl of Cumbria’s eyes widened as he saw that in the blink of an eye, Raine had charged right in front of them.
Then, he saw Raine heavily swinging his right-hand hammer towards the ground!
