Rein somewhat understood why the adversary was able to kill the Peak Knight.
Because some of the opponent's tactics were nearly unsolvable for the knights.
At least, that was the case at the knight level, as for the Great Knight, that was still unknown.
Additionally, was a third-level Wizard Apprentice this powerful?
What about a formal Wizard then....
"Your attack is futile! Prepare to die!"
Adams, protected by a 'Lesser Physical Reflection Shield,' suddenly moved again, his face showing a mix of anger and ruthlessness!
While mocking Rein and Hamilton, he was also quietly chanting, preparing some kind of witchcraft.
Hamilton already looked desperate!
His recent two attacks not only left the opponent unscathed, but his own body had been severely damaged by the opponent's strange silver shield.
But Rein was different!
Rein was protected by Iron Skin lv3 and hadn't sustained serious injuries, yet he also stopped attacking, knowing that attacking recklessly would only cause him to be injured by the counterattacks of that strange silver shield.
Rein truly didn't believe that the opponent's shield could indefinitely defend against his attacks!
Now Rein had two options, one was to replenish his strength and attack with full force again, trying to see if he could break through.
Of course, whether he could break through or not, Rein had no idea at the moment.
The second option was to circle to the opponent's back, avoiding the sight of Hamilton and the others, and utilize the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch.'
Adams thought that Rein and Hamilton didn't understand Akkadian, but in fact, when Adams tore the scroll, Rein had clearly heard a key word, 'Physical.'
Thus, Rein could basically determine that the opponent's silver shield was specifically designed to defend against physical attacks and had some kind of energy counterattack, most likely unable to withstand witchcraft or energy attacks.
The whole decision-making process was completed in an instant!
Rein quickly circled to Adams's back, opting for the second strategy, applying the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch.'
The reason was simple, the opponent had killed a Peak Knight before.
This indicated that even if the Peak Knight used his desperate final moves, he still wasn't able to overcome the opponent.
Besides, this specialized defense shield was far more powerful than the initial black film.
Rein surmised that although 'Triple State' was fierce, choosing to take it head-on wasn't very safe.
Battle requires wisdom.
Referring to the sayings of great people, that would be 'Being good at seizing opportunities, targeting the enemy's weaknesses, turning passivity into initiative!'
At this moment, Adams was clearly preparing to cast a powerful spell, and would not move for a short time, so this was also an opportunity.
The next second, Rein flashed to Adams's back, raised his left hand, aiming at Adams's back heart, approximately two to three centimeters from the opponent's silver shield, achieving almost the closest distance.
Rein remembered very clearly, his 'Scorching Touch' was a contact-based witchcraft, the closer the distance, the greater the power!
But Adams was completely unaware of this!
Because at this moment, all he had in his mind was the fury of killing both men, and he also didn't think that two knights could have any means to break the 'Lesser Physical Reflection Shield.'
Moreover, the elite Night Watchmen in the alley were continuously shooting arrows at him, the sound of which was incessant.
This also made him unable to hear the soft chanting of Rein behind him.
"(Akkadian).... Drag into the illusion!" With the last syllable of Adams's chant, his face suddenly showed a trace of a smug smile.
A special kind of spiritual power mixed with a strange energy rapidly spread to an area of several tens of meters.
Including Hamilton and up to the Night Watchmen at the alley entrance, everyone's expressions became blank, stunned on the spot, as if turned into scarecrows!
But at the same time, Adams's expression suddenly changed!
His entire body suddenly stiffened!
Immediately afterward, he let out a scream!
The next second, Adams staggered to the ground, and his pale silver shield also gradually disappeared, it was unclear whether it was due to time running out or because Adams was suddenly injured.
But none of that mattered!
A black light, like a dragon leaping out from the sea, in a split second, rose from the ground straight up under Adams's chin.
Adams was seen trembling even on tiptoes, shooting straight up into the sky, soaring three to four meters high!
In mid-air, it was clearly visible that Adams's jaw had been instantly shattered by that black light!
Blood, shattered bones, and tissue from skin and muscles splattered everywhere.
It was evident how powerful that black light was!
This strike was precisely the secret technique of Tokkal Hammer Skill, 'Rising Dragon Hammer!'
The one who executed it, was naturally only Rein.
Originally, just now, both he and Adams had almost simultaneously completed their techniques, and while Rein was affected by an Illusion Technique, Adams got attacked by the high temperatures of 'Scorching Touch.'
And right before Rein felt dizzy and was dragged into some illusion, he quickly added one point to his Spirit Attribute, which abruptly increased his spiritual power, immediately breaking the Illusion Technique's effect on him.
Initially, Rein had intended to use the recovery effect of the point addition to clear his mind, but in actuality, the sudden increase in spiritual power seemed to directly break the Illusion Technique's influence.
Of course, Rein was not clear about the specific mechanism involved.
But regardless, all of this allowed Rein to use his full spiritual power to guide the witchcraft 'Scorching Touch,' continuing to attack Adams with high temperatures.
