Chapter 37: Rien's Secret
Hurriedly took the mysterious elevator, and then went straight down to the fourth floor in one breath - what caught the eyes of the three of them was quite a heart-wrenching scene.
The mysterious giant door that had suddenly appeared since everyone had opened the fourth floor, the door that made Rosse, a suspected high-level figure behind the scenes, appear to prevent him from destroying it, was completely open at this moment. And hidden behind that huge space is a huge monster with a tall body composed of unknown conductive circuits all over its body. At this moment, it was wielding the huge, heavy iron in its hand, and let out a strange roar. Not far from its feet, Elyse's petite body lay silently, motionless.
"Elyse !!!" Helriga never thought that Rien would let out such a heart-rending expression. He wanted to reassure Rien that his sister had only been overly frightened and unconscious, and had not suffered any substantial damage, but apparently, Heliga was still a step too slow.
An eerie aura suddenly filled the entire space—Heliga could feel the sensation of others watching him burst out of the power of the Dragonborn.
Because, a purple-black strange fighting aura has entangled Li En's whole body. Under the contamination of the fighting spirit, his originally pure black hair turned pale, and his originally lilac eyes also became scarlet. On his left chest, there was a place that constantly emanated the imprint of this vindictive energy, and Lane was clearly very distressed by such a power—and a little afraid of it.
"This is ......," Helliga was intrigued by Rien's performance, "I see...... A long time ago...... What Teacher Yun said is ......"
"Hey!?" Chloe wasn't as thoughtful as Heliga - it was only a split second that Chloe reacted, pulling out the silver-gray twin guns in his hand, "There's no time to be in a daze now-"
Before he could finish speaking, the huge stone statue that had not yet seemed to have done much movement had already moved—the huge weapon in his hand swept towards Rien, but the latter dodged it with alarming speed.
Drawing an afterimage, Rien easily turned around and circled the ankle of the huge stone statue. Then the yin qi soaked in the sword slashed fiercely—obviously cutting into the hard material, but there was a deafening grinding sound. Li En's sword was far beyond the power he usually controlled, and even the huge stone statue with a height of tens of centimeters couldn't help but be staggered.
If he continues to push forward like this, Lai has a good chance of winning in one go. Under the entanglement of that ominous yin qi, whether it is reflexes, explosive power, speed, or even recovery power, Li En's physical ability has been greatly improved, and it is not impossible to complete an instant break when he can cause a lot of damage in an instant. Chloe on the side thought the same way, and he was even a little relaxed and began to plan to put away the gun-
It's just that, for some reason, Rien seems to be very resistant to this force - it is obviously a good time to quickly end the battle, but he has been standing in place with his body tense, and from time to time he let out a few muffled roars from his mouth, as if he is desperately trying to suppress this force. And while Li En stood in place and fought with himself, the huge stone statue that was almost cut down to the ground started a new action. It's still the same as before, a powerful slash from the same angle, but the target of this attack has become Lee, who is struggling in pain on the spot.
At the critical moment, Chloe took a step forward and defused the danger. The latter was still distracted and observed Lane's situation, and did not react immediately - of course, Chloe's strength had been guaranteed by Instructor Sarah, and Chloe was obviously a very reliable helper at critical moments, so Heliga could also observe with confidence.
The twin guns in Chloe's hands continued to fire, and the guided bullets carried various attributes, shooting at the hard skin from a tricky angle. The ablative bomb weakened the hard skin, and the gel bomb stuck to it, preventing the giant stone statue from repairing itself. Chloe easily distanced himself, suppressing his opponent's movements with firepower, while consciously directing the huge stone statue to his side, creating a safe environment for Rien.
Of course, Heiliga didn't stay where he was all the time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he carried Elysée away and put her in a safe place—indeed, Elysée had only fainted from the fright, and she herself had not been harmed in the slightest.
Heliga wondered, for although the situation was critical, it looked as if the massive humanoid weapon was waiting for Rien's arrival—it had been staring at the "sleeping" Elysée for some time.
"This is also the so-called 'trial' that Rossey said?" Heliga muttered inwardly. However, he still needs to think more deeply about these things—perhaps, as the other party said, he should consider looking for specific information from the church.
"Next ......" confirmed that Elysée was safe, and Heliga was able to turn her gaze back with peace of mind - Chloe did not have the explosive power of Ryne in his current state, but with his excellent physical strength and rich experience, just being a big and sinking huge stone statue could not do anything to Chloe - at this moment, Chloe had guided him far away.
Clearly, Chloe was waiting for his own backup.
"I've never heard of this power from him...... It seems that it has always been a shadow in his heart. Heliga glanced at Lane sympathetically, if she wasn't lucky enough, would she have turned out to be like this?
"This pass...... It's up to you to figure it out. Gritting his teeth, Heiliga didn't do anything in the end. Seeing Ryne, who was still standing there by himself, Helliga ran to Chloe without looking back.
The opponent is just a huge stone statue with a large and bulky body. There's no need to get serious.
Moreover, Hailiga himself does not want to completely expose his strength. For some reason, Chloe was a person who always gave him a subtle sense of distrust.
Therefore, Heliga only adopted a similar approach to Rien - attacking the feet in close quarters, retreating to a safe distance from time to time, and completing cooperation and containment with the two of Klo, controlling the huge stone statue in place.
Unlike Lien, Helriga who deliberately doesn't give his full strength in his regular form doesn't have that kind of hard-hitting impact. But "Cold Crack" is an incomparably powerful sword after all. Permanent enchantment damage can easily make a person's flesh freeze and bruise, and it can also use the extremely low temperature to destroy the surface of the stone statue little by little.
Finally, the tide of the battle began to change little by little-
