Chapter 683 - 361: Finally Found!
This made Raine's eyes narrow instantly.
A Black Fist Army powerhouse?
One punch defeated Omen Sword Saint Duke Musadi?
This strength seemed clearly unreasonable, one punch?
Could it be the 'Instant Death Iron Fist'?
Suddenly!
A scene flashed through Raine's mind, exactly the previously acquired [Death God Bane Bloodline (Severely Incomplete)].
Although severely incomplete, it depicted two special abilities of Death God Bane—Possessing Mortals lv1 and Instant Death Iron Fist lv1.
If the opponent is truly a powerhouse within the Black Fist Army, then with Death God Bane's possession or a certain granting of divine power, exerting the power of Instant Death Iron Fist would be understandable.
If that's the case...
Raine's eyes narrowed slightly!
"A cross-shaped scar on the forehead? Lord Raine, if this description is accurate, the opponent should be Black Fist Army Commander Omar!" Lilith, who was beside him, seemed to have thought of something and said.
"The opponent is also a Legendary High Tier powerhouse, on the same level as Talin Association President Osber."
Although Lilith was a member of the Talin Association, she was naturally aware of the top figure in the Black Fist Army.
"But even so, it seems unlikely to defeat Duke Musadi with one punch." At this moment, Leonore nearby reminded, "Raine, I'll go back and check the situation first."
"No, I'll go instead." Raine shook his head, declining Leonore's proposal to return first. "By the way, is there a secret chamber with a teleportation array in the palace underground?"
"Yes."
"If there really is trouble, you can meet me there to assist." Saying that, Raine tightened the Hammer of Shattering in his hand. Just now, he was planning to return the weapon to Brute Hammer the Second, but now it seemed he could hold onto it a bit longer.
Even if facing a demigod, with the Hammer of Shattering, he dared to fight!
However... To be prudent, Raine pondered briefly and then swapped the Drow Mother Bloodline in the bloodline slot for [Grazite Bloodline (Severely Incomplete)].
With five standard units of divinity, even against instant death attacks, it could withstand several times.
Then, with a flash of blue light, Raine vanished from everyone's sight.
"Wait a moment, Leonore Your Highness, I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty. We have signed a joint defense agreement with Soladin Kingdom, and now the attack on Rapids Castle means our Iron Hills is under threat!"
Elder Grenum stopped Leonore, who was also about to use teleportation spell, solidly patted his chest, and spoke firmly.
"Thanks, Elder Grenum." Leonore smiled and expressed gratitude.
....
Meanwhile.
In the Rapids Castle Royal Palace garden.
Raine's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Raine, you..." Seeing Raine's sudden appearance, Henry was both shocked and delighted, perhaps because of the desperate situation and a brother coming to the rescue, his eyes became red instantly!
"Remember to call me uncle next time, I'm engaged to your aunt."
Raine smiled, patted Henry's shoulder, then nodded slightly to King Galin Soladin beside him before focusing his gaze on the tall man not far away.
The opponent was clad in black plate armor, with an iron fist reflecting a metallic sheen on his chest.
His forehead bore a cross-shaped scar that matched Lilith's description of Black Fist Army Commander Omar.
However, perhaps due to repeatedly slaying multiple divine projections, Raine keenly detected obvious divinity energy fluctuations emanating from the opponent.
This made his expression turn significantly more serious.
An opponent with divinity energy is never easy to deal with.
Essentially, it's not on the same level as a legendary, normally only touched upon by those stepping into demigod status.
"Did you kill Osber?" The opponent also focused on him.
"If you're referring to the Talin Association President." Raine responded.
"That's too bad." Omar shook his head regretfully, his expression sympathetic.
"One punch!"
Just as the words fell.
In the next instant, he disappeared from where he stood!
And Raine's pupils constricted sharply, alarms blared in his mind, instinctively, he immediately activated 'Speed of Lightning.'
Suddenly!
Almost less than 0.01 of a second apart.
Raine's former location exploded with a tumultuous roar, followed by the entire ground being blasted apart.
The figure that should have been dozens of meters away surprisingly appeared where Raine stood, Black Fist Army Commander Omar maintaining his punching posture, but his previously calm eyes flickered.
Obviously surprised at Raine's ability to dodge the strike.
"Oh? Impressive speed." Omar straightened up, turning to Raine again, "No wonder Osber died by your hand."
Raine appeared at Omar's original location, the two essentially swapped places.
And Raine immediately confirmed the opponent was indeed 'abnormally' strong.
Yes, abnormally!
Because normally, an opponent clad in heavy armor should not possess such speed, unlike the Wanderer-type legendary powerhouses.
However, regardless of who the opponent is, having just attempted a sneak attack, Raine would return the gesture equivalently.
Raine didn't answer Omar's words, he tightened the warhammer in his hand, and war boots tapped on the ground.
"Smack!"
The ground sank into a large pit, while Raine vanished from his spot.
His speed unexpectedly matched Omar's just moments ago.
Following this, a series of rapid explosions erupted from the center of the field!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The royal palace guards below the transcendent level couldn't even discern the figures.
