Chapter 479: Chapter 220 The First Metal Witchcraft (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4
 

Just that moment, several methods flashed through Lamar’s mind, but he quickly dismissed each one.

Because the aforementioned methods couldn’t guarantee that they would definitely kill Rein.

Of course, this might also be because Rein had thwarted their assassination attempts too many times, instilling a sense of wariness in him.

But utilizing the moment in the ritual when the God of Hunting, Luen’s slight oppressiveness descends, was bound to kill the opponent.

“This is indeed a method, but the problem is, how can we lure Rein into the ritual?”

“Additionally, if he discovers something amiss beforehand and causes a major disturbance, the ritual itself risks being interrupted,” the chief priest’s beady eyes flickered for a moment as he spoke hesitantly.

Because only after the ritual had officially begun would the slight oppressiveness of the God of Hunting descend.

And if the opponent noticed something was amiss before that, all their efforts would be in vain.

“Lord Chief Priest, I think we can have Baron Alonso hold a grand noble banquet right above the site of the ritual…”

—————–

Three days later.

Fishing Port Town administrative office training ground.

Knight continued to hold his tower shield, swiftly dodging and advancing forward.

Meanwhile, Rein pulled his silvery-gray metallic great bow to full draw, shooting a training arrow at Knight like lightning.

In an instant, Knight’s muscles bulged, his upper body tilted forward, and he positioned the thick tower shield in front of him.

“Bang!”

A sound akin to striking a bell rang out!

The blunt-headed training arrow instantly shattered, its wooden shaft splintering; the tremendous impact halted Knight, who was holding the tower shield, in his tracks and momentarily paralyzed him on the spot.

Immediately after, Rein rapidly fired another arrow, and then another, overwhelming Knight who could hardly fight back.

Just after five minutes, Knight was gasping for breath, appearing utterly drained.

Knight gazed at Rein, his eyes filled with astonishment!

He now somewhat understood Lord Rein’s frighteningly rapid rate of progress, no, it was terrifying!

From initially being able to exchange blows, to now becoming practically a live target, all this had happened in just three days!

In these three days, Rein’s Blood Fury Archery had sharply improved, stepping into level 4 this morning and establishing a certain level of long-distance fighting capability.

This level of mastery in archery, if used against knight-ranked enemies, would no longer pose a problem. However, if facing Great Knight-ranked enemies, there was still some gap.

However, at present, his training partner Knight could no longer keep up with his progress.

If Rein were to go easy, he certainly could allow Knight to stick around a little longer, but the Experience he could gain in Blood Fury Archery would plummet. In that case, the training would lose its meaning.

Rein was contemplating whether to let Cobert join in as well, so the brothers could train together, which might be better.

However, Rein slightly shook his head after a moment of thought. Administrative duties in Fishing Port Town such as routine patrols needed someone in charge; it was not suitable to have both brothers serve as sparring partners.

Besides, although the brothers coordinated well together, they could likely only help him train up to Blood Fury Archery level 5; advancing further than that was unlikely.

Rein seemed to be out of good ideas for the moment.

“Thud, thud, thud!”

At that moment, two unexpected people appeared at the doorway of the training room.

Lord Reine turned his head and couldn’t help but be startled.

He saw Trevo from the Leviathan Team and Nathaniel, both smiling faintly as they stood at the entrance.

“Lord Reine, we meet again,” Trevo said with a smile.

“Ah, what brings you two to Fishing Port Town again? Is there a new assignment?” Lord Reine asked with a hint of curiosity.

The two exchanged glances, their smiles broadening, “You could say that it’s an assignment.”

“Lord Reine, this time I am here on a mission from above to teach you the witchcraft ‘Sharpness Technique.’

“Lord Reine, I never expected that aside from being an extremely talented Great Knight, you are also a Wizard Apprentice. It feels like the Goddess’s favor is all concentrated on you,” Trevo said with a slightly envious tone.

At that time, Trevo was indeed shocked when he heard that Lord Reine was also a Wizard Apprentice.

Upon hearing this, Lord Reine couldn’t help but smile. He hadn’t expected the Imperial Navy to act so swiftly this time.

It seemed General Xilva must have played a significant role.

Of course, it might also be due to Captain Baron. As the captain of a special department’s team, Baron’s influence was not to be underestimated.

“Welcome, both of you. I had thought the Imperial Navy would send someone else. It seems, then, that the fleet’s operations have concluded?”

“That’s not the case. Captain Baron’s injuries will take about ten days to fully heal, so our team is in a temporary rest state,” Nathaniel explained.

Lord Reine nodded, understanding the situation. Otherwise, sending two combat team members for this task would have been most unreasonable; without these two, the Leviathan Team’s combat effectiveness would be greatly impacted.

“Of course, we both volunteered for this mission,” they added.

“Also, there is another matter,” Trevo began, looking around and then stopping.

Realizing the situation, Lord Reine turned to Cobert and said, “Cobert, let’s stop here for today.”

“As you command, my lord,” Cobert responded, indeed feeling quite exhausted.

“Please follow me. Let’s talk in my office.”

The trio then proceeded to Lord Reine’s office and took their seats.

“Lord Reine, according to the latest news, the Federation Witchery Curses Master we encountered that day, the intelligence department has already clarified his identity—Nehru, a formal member of the ‘Leviathan Team’ of the Eagle Federation Navy, characteristically paranoid…” Trevo detailed.@@novelbin@@

“Oh, the setup of squad units in the Eagle Federation is somewhat different from ours here in the Empire.”

“They have around 5-7 members per team, and each member oversees a varying number of followers. Thus, their team resembles a combination of four to five of our teams,” Nathaniel added.

Lord Reine nodded, making sense of the information.

Otherwise, if a team was comprised solely of members as difficult as Nehru, that team’s combat effectiveness would be exaggerated, and the Leviathan Team surely wouldn’t be a match for them.

“Based on the intelligence department’s assessment, several formal members of the Leviathan Team have already arrived at the coast of Mingster Province, seemingly to carry out a special mission,”

“Additionally, based on divination and psychological profiling of Nehru, it is possible that he might take this opportunity to seek revenge on you, Lord Reine. Therefore, Captain Baron had us come here first.”

Hearing this, Lord Reine understood why the two had come to Fishing Port Town together; not only to teach him the ‘Sharpness Technique’ witchcraft but also to prepare against potential revenge from the opponent.

“Thank you both, and please convey my thanks to Captain Baron as well.”

“You’re too courteous, Lord Reine. Also, if you are free, I can teach you the Sharpness Technique right now,” Trevo said, slightly bowing.

“Then please, proceed, Lord Trevo,” Lord Reine said, unable to suppress a smile.
