Chapter 414: Chapter 230: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend! (Part 2)

Raine seized the opportunity, wielding the Warhammer radiating intense blue-white light, and smashed down heavily on the joint of the Enchanting Demon’s lower limb.

"Boom!!"

But in the next instant, the opponent’s strong human right arm opened its palm to cushion the hammer blow.

Raine noticed.

Even the Frost Energy from Frost Shock only covered the opponent’s forearm with a thin layer of ice, far less effective than when attacking the Black Fist Commander Gelkuk.

’Such high Frost Resistance.’

Raine’s eyelid twitched a bit.

But before he could think further, he noticed in the corner of his eye a massive brown pincer sweeping towards him, his left arm muscles bulged as he lifted the ’Wall of the Dead’ to block it.

"Boom!!"

Raine felt a tremendous force transmitted through the Shield, although he managed to hold his ground without retreating, his Steel Boots gouged half-meter deep grooves in the ground, his body involuntarily shifted two meters sideways.

Clearly, the elite Enchanting Demon excelled in power, even surpassing his Second-stage Gigantification.

’Agility almost evenly matched, but its Power far exceeds mine.’

’At least Mid-level Frost Resistance.’

’How to handle this?’

His mind raced for a solution, but he found no answer for the moment, suddenly Raine noticed the heavily injured Black Fist Army elites lying nearby.

Just then.

"Clang clang!"

Under Henry’s command, four Royal Guards swiftly approached from four different directions, attacking the Enchanting Demon’s lower limbs with their swords.

"Ants dare disturb me!"

"Boom!" A simple pincer strike immediately dented a Royal Guard’s Shield, causing him to vomit blood while being flung back over ten meters.

"Stay back!"

Raine raised his hammer to signal, stopping the Royal Guards from advancing.

When individual strength disparity is vast, numbers sometimes mean little.

The next second!

Amidst the crowd’s astonished eyes, Raine unexpectedly turned around, not towards the Enchanting Demon, but charged and attacked the Black Fist Army injured during his fierce battle with Gelkuk.

"Vibration Wave!"

As the silver Warhammer slammed into the ground, a mass of flying debris and soil pierced through over twenty moaning Black Fist Army injured bodies lying on the ground.

In an instant, the moans nearly vanished completely.

Each silencing moan represented the death of a Black Fist Army injured soldier.

But Raine’s bizarre actions stunned everyone, including Lilith and the elite Enchanting Demon.

Even Henry looked confused.

After all, these severely injured Black Fist Army elites were unlikely to disrupt the battle much, why kill them now?

Yet in a flash.

Everyone’s eyes reflected this scene—’Raine, wielding hammer and shield, struck heavily, roared angrily, then turned again, rushing towards the elite Enchanting Demon.’

What a puzzling maneuver?!

As for Raine himself, the feeling now was completely different from just before.

His gaze quickly swept over the attribute panel, the stacked ’Brutality’ buff showed 20 layers.

Which meant his Power and Agility both surged by 20% compared to earlier!

As the two primary close-combat attributes, such a significant increase resulted in: a whole new level where he could practically tear demons apart.

"Mortal, you’ve finally accepted your fate!"

"Very well, I’ll let you die without pain."

Seeing Raine rushing again, although the Enchanting Demon was baffled by the back-and-forth maneuvers, it didn’t hinder the power buildup for a pincer strike!

"Clang!!"

The raised pincers met the silver Warhammer violently; sparks flew!

But upon contact, the over five meter tall, massive elite Enchanting Demon weighing several tons staggered and had to retreat half a step.

While Raine also retreated half a step, compared to before, he progressed from ’barely able to face directly’ to ’gaining slight upper hand.’

Though the change seemed minor.

Its true significance was notable.

This signified he no longer needed to dodge and seek opportunities arduously, but could confront the Enchanting Demon head-on.

The freedom in tactics had increased greatly!

"Clang clang!"

Suddenly, Raine’s Warhammer danced, pressing the Enchanting Demon back step by step.

This scene was thoroughly observed by Siegfried.

Unlike before when he didn’t clearly see how Raine killed Black Fist Commander Gelkuk, now Siegfried could calmly handle Gregory and Meredith’s entanglement.

He had the capacity to observe the overall situation.

He also for the first time realized that Raine’s strength far exceeded Lilith’s earlier reports.

’An unstable factor has emerged.’

’What a shame! It seems I still have to use this item.’

Siegfried sighed inwardly.

As his form shifted amid the interplay of light and shadows, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a lifelike black crawling Prayer Statue.

With the low chanting starting.

The statue emitted an amorphous black light.

In the next moment!

Gregory and Meredith, who were closing in on Siegfried, suddenly froze in place, surrounded by a black energy screen, which directly trapped them in mid-air.

It seemed that neither could attack others, nor could others attack them.

But that wasn’t the focus.

The focus was Siegfried finally free from interference, ready to act with full force.

The figure holding the black statue extended his finger towards Raine, dark energy at his fingertip like dancing black lightning, abruptly gathering.

...

Meanwhile.

Two squads of Griffins appeared in the sky over Dorne City.

"Hmm? This is.... How did it turn into this?" The leading Griffin Knight muttered with a perplexed look, looking down.

Because it was completely different from when he came earlier.

At that moment, light shifted below, and the Dorne City Administration Hall seemed unreal and half-transparent, a tactic he hadn’t heard about from superiors.

He also didn’t know what to do next.

"Is this the effect of some High Tier Magic?"

Giant Blade Squad leader Schneider saw the lead Griffin Knight’s expression and instantly understood something, furrowed his thick brows in thought, then turned to ask Hayley beside him.

"Possibly a unique spell but certainly Sixth Ring Level and from the energy fluctuations, it seems to blend light and dark, quite unique." Hayley also furrowed her slender brows, pondering aloud.

"Light and dark?"

"Light and Shadow Envoy Siegfried!" The leading Griffin Knight was immediately startled, knowing full well this adversary was a formidable Transcendent that they were cautious about.

But wasn’t this adversary supposed to be elsewhere?

Higher up behind the Griffin flock.

The White Dragon Shuangzhuo remained stealthy, watching Dorne City’s Administrative Hall flicker below keenly.

Though uncertain of the spell, her sharp perception confirmed its Sixth Ring Level domain magic.

"Able to confine enemies within the domain?"

"Indeed, someone capable of killing Bing Zhuo isn’t merely an ordinary human adventurer."

"However, could he possessing this magic belong to the killer’s companions?"

"If that’s the case.... Should I disrupt it?"

"After all, according to humans, an enemy’s enemy is a friend!"

Unlike Bing Zhuo or Han Zhuo, Shuangzhuo’s nature wasn’t aggressive, preferring to ponder situations.

This characteristic, rare among young White Dragons prone to violent instinctive actions, led her to mature well ahead of her two elder brothers.

"Hmm! Even if the enemy’s enemy doesn’t appreciate it, conditions may not worsen beyond the current state."

"If the adversary completes the task smoothly, freeing themself, a Transcendent level human Mage, plus a Transcendent level Combat Professional, might pose considerable trouble for me."

In Shuangzhuo’s large dragon eyes, a gleam of realization flashed.
