Chapter 1237: Chapter 417: Five vs. One _ 3
Upon hearing the familiar roar of his brothers, Barnes’ eyes lit up with joy.
“Finally, they’re here!”
…
When the Grand Astromancer Dalain managed to project the situation within the Secret Realm onto the stone platform after several astrological attempts,
the real-time image on the elliptical stone platform left everyone present momentarily stunned!
“This is…”
“What in the world is happening!”
“The three red Dragon-men should be the Dragon-man transformations of Barnes, Reagan, and Bronson, plus this four-armed woman, judging from the face, it appears to be… some kind of fusion secret skill of Areda and Ailida.”
“That’s a total of four at the Legendary Peak, attacking Lord Rein!” Tatia exclaimed, then quickly analyzed each component.
“What!” General Augustus was equally shocked by Tatia’s words!
Originally, he had planned for Rein to aid the squad captain Baldwin nearby to ensure the safety of the ’Rift Closer,’ but now it seemed Rein could hardly protect himself!
“Who else is around that can quickly assist Rein?” Marshal Alfred asked in a deep voice.
“Uh… the nearest one besides Baldwin would be Gardner, the Fine Gold Swordsman from our Sword Bearer Headquarters.”
“However, even if Lord Gardner were to rush with all his might, it would take at least around ten minutes to reach Lord Rein.” Hearing Marshal Alfred’s question, Tatia swiftly checked.
“Contact Gardner and have him head over immediately!” Alfred decided without hesitation.
“Also, contact Rein and tell him to hold on for ten minutes.”
“Yes, Marshal!” Tatia replied solemnly.
…
Inside the Secret Realm.
The five individuals launched a fierce attack surrounding Rein.
Reagan and Bronson attacked from Rein’s left rear and right rear, simultaneously aiming for his lower back, executing claw strikes with explosive power, clawing down viciously!
Barnes, meanwhile, used a kind of charge secret technique, his entire body like a massive bull, drawing a red line straight toward Rein’s front.
As for Areda and Ailida, they leaped above Rein’s head, top-down, spinning four scimitars rapidly, their blades flashing black, resembling drills from top to bottom!
Despite enemies approaching from all sides, Rein’s expression remained calm.
Rein executed a Shadow Step with lightning speed, instantly creating two shadowy Dragon-man figures, with both hands blocking Reagan’s and Bronson’s claw strikes, then fiercely uppercut both of them on their chins.
“Boom!!!”
As both were momentarily dazed, Rein grabbed their heads and slammed them heavily toward the charging Barnes.
This fueled Barnes’ anger and urgency. He couldn’t use explosive and charging power on his two brothers and had to slow down to catch their bodies.
But the next second, a dark gray Dragon Scale fist smashed into his unprotected abdomen, leaving a basin-sized dent and a bulge of the same size on his back.
“Boom!!”
Barnes winced in pain, clutching his brothers as they were sent flying over ten meters, crashing heavily to the ground, rolling like gourds!
At this moment, the Areda sisters, unharmed by Rein’s Shadow Step, rushed in from the right side again.
They manipulated four scimitars, clashing rapidly with Rein’s Hardened Essence Gold-clad claws, ringing loudly in quick succession.
But with Rein’s lightning-fast kick, “boom,” the Areda sisters felt intense abdominal pain, sent flying like cannonballs!
For a moment, the five were all knocked to the ground, in a rather pitiful state.
Rein then recovered his spirit, restoring his physical strength to its peak, with eyes sweeping over the five, he said, “Is that all?”
Hearing Rein’s words, Barnes struggled to get up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a composed look, saying:
“Lord Rein, I’m getting more and more interested in your unknown Dragon Bloodline.”
“Unfortunately, though your bloodline is special and powerful, it’s just that…”
“Oh? Just what?” Rein asked with a smile.
“Just that… the bloodline concentration is lacking! Sometimes… the bloodline concentration is the most crucial thing, huh!!!”
With a roar, Barnes’ body began to grow again, surging to eight or nine meters high.
The Second Stage of Barnes’ Transformation was not something he wanted to manifest lightly, as executing it meant he couldn’t sustain himself for even half a minute due to exhaustion.
Thus, he could only use this move as a trump card.
And at this very moment, Barnes deemed it the time for a desperate counterattack!
In his view, no matter how strong Rein was, after enduring their five-pronged assault, his physical strength should be nearing its limit by now, akin to a spent force.
Barnes’ Second Stage Transformation excited Reagan and Bronson to the point of trembling, their faces flushed!
“The boss finally decided to use his Second Stage Transformation!”
“Let’s use the Bloodline Burst Potion!” Reagan suggested.
“Yeah!” Bronson nodded emphatically.
This Rein in front of them was exceedingly tough!
Firstly, since the boss was making such an effort, they couldn’t simply sit by.
Secondly, if they held back any longer, they could end up dead here!
With each taking a bottle of potion with red liquids speckled with crystals, “gulp, gulp,” Reagan and Bronson underwent significant transformations.
Their height, from the initial First Stage Transformation of about four to five meters, surged to over six meters.
Although still significantly shorter than Barnes’ current Second Stage Transformation, it was clearly stronger than the First Stage Transformation.
It was a state seemingly between the First Stage and Second Stage.
In reality, this compound was secretly developed by the Dragon Scale Brotherhood for those possessing the Dragon Bloodline to use during intense combat, offering immense power but with tremendous side effects.
Once used, it rendered all Dragon-man Transformations impossible for a day, leaving the body weak, with a recovery period ranging from a few days.
Thus, using this Bloodline Burst Potion equated to completely abandoning the Dragon Rider retest task.
But now, it seemed the two no longer had the luxury of choice.
