And its neck, which originally displayed an umbrella-like spiny crest, now retracted like a closing umbrella, clinging tightly to the neck.
This was an expression of fear, fright, and submission!
But a dark hammer shadow flashed by, and the top of the spiny sea serpent's head was instantly smashed open, splattering blood everywhere!
The spiny sea serpent, whose spirit had been shocked, was sent to join its master after just one move by Rein's pig-headed hammer.
The spiny sea serpent immediately died from suffocation, its body that was initially upright on the sea surface slumped softly down, and its entire seven or eight meters long, bucket-thick body floated to the surface.
The nerves and muscles in the body of the spiny sea serpent were still moving, its body slightly twisting and twitching continuously!
At this moment, the sound of the waves crashing remained, but standing on the sea surface, there was only Rein left—the previously menacing enemy was now just a corpse drifting aimlessly on the sea.
Standing on a nearby small boat, the twin-tailed young girl, although pale from pain, had a completely different spirit than before.
Just like a girl fighting cancer in a past life, pained in appearance, but with a sparkle in her eyes!
Her beautiful eyes stared at Rein's robust figure, filled with surprise, admiration, affection, awe, and various other emotions.
If it weren't for seeing those watery beautiful eyes in person, it would be hard to imagine that just a look could convey so much meaning.
Rein, on the other hand, shook his dark pig-headed hammer in his hand.
He stood on the sea surface, savoring the "Earth-splitting Hammer" he had just executed.
If described in four words, they would be extremely exhilarating!
That hammer strike felt as though it released some kind of spirit, a combination of original force and clever technique.
He could feel that the strike had a strange power that when clashing with the opponent's shield, transmitted into the opponent's body wreaking havoc, hence causing such great damage.
And that strange power must contain the secret of the true secret technique.
Perhaps, a regular secret technique would not be as strong as Rein's strike.
But the thing is, Rein possessed the level 12 Tokkal Hammer Skill, level 3 "Hammer Specialization", and the talent "Intermediate Giant Strength," all three amplifying his power. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
This was why even a Great Knight could be killed instantly by one hammer strike!
Of course, the enemy's unpreparedness and lack of focus played certain roles.
But that was not the point, because even if the opponent had been prepared, they could not have withstood it.
For Rein, at most, he would have struck with one more hammer.
On the main battlefield.
Members of the Fish-Dragon Team like Trevo and Nathaniel intended to assist Rein and Vinica.
However, since they were already at a disadvantage on the main battlefield, after several attempts, they were disappointed to find there was no chance for them.
But when the team captain, Baron, noticed that the Great Knight, who had originally been guarding beside the opponent's black-robed Wizard and was controlling the spiny sea serpent, swiftly left,
he immediately seized this opportunity and surged with all his remaining strength at the Wizard!
Baron's outburst was quickly extinguished by the Wizard's witchcraft attack.
Although Baron's counterattack had little effect, it made Nehru pay more attention to him.
After all, in Nehru's eyes, Baron was the big fish while the two newcomers were just trash fish.
It's always important to prioritize.
Having continued to cast two witchcraft spells to suppress Baron,
Nehru casually glanced over at Hoffman's situation, but in an instant, his whole expression puzzled!
At that spot on the sea,
the young Great Knight was still standing there,
and the Wizard Apprentice girl was also there.
But Hoffman, whom he had sent, and the spiny sea serpent under Hoffman, were nowhere to be seen.
Where did Hoffman run off to?
He had only taken his eyes off Hoffman for a mere four or five seconds, and now he couldn't find him?
Nehru blinked in confusion and then scrutinized carefully.
The next second, he discovered that just a few meters in front of the young Great Knight, two familiar corpses, large and small, were bobbing up and down with the rhythm of the waves.
This instantly made Nehru's face twitch violently with disbelief!
What the hell happened?
In just a few seconds of distraction, Hoffman was dead???
For Nehru's brief lapse, Baron felt it most distinctly.
Because Baron clearly felt the pressure weaken, and the black-robed Wizard, who had been closely watching him, now turned in surprise towards Rein and Vinica.
This made him extremely curious—had something unexpected happened there?
Thus, during a break in the battle, Team Captain Baron quickly glanced aside.
With that look, Baron's eyes suddenly widened...
And the other members of the Fish-Dragon Team evidently also noticed the unusual behavior of the opposing black-robed Wizard and their leader.
