Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1419 - 485: Three Heads

Deep within the heart of the falling rain curtain.

Rein was locked in a second clash with the girl in black robes, who served as the avatar for Hela, the Nether Sea Goddess.

The stability of the Nether Sea Domain was beginning to crumble under the pressure of their violent energy fluctuations.

A slight frown appeared on the black-robed girl's face as the dark clouds thinned and the downpour started to subside.

Rein, meanwhile, kept a watchful eye on Gazrian out of the corner of his vision.

Gazrian wasn't attempting to break the Nether Sea Domain or launch an ambush; instead, he stood motionless, focusing on recovery while his three draconic heads bathed his body in a continuous spray of ice crystal mist.

Even without looking directly, Rein could sense the opponent’s aura steadily regaining its strength.

It was clear that the mist being exhaled by the three dragon heads possessed a unique property capable of mending soul damage.

"I cannot afford to stay entangled with the Nether Sea Goddess Hela."

"Whatever the relationship is between her and Gazrian, Hela is obviously intent on preventing me from slaying the Ice Sea Giant Demon."

Rein narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing at high speed.

"If this stalemate continues, the wounds I dealt the Ice Sea Giant Demon will be completely healed."

"Should that happen, the Ice Sea Giant Demon might join forces with Hela to pin me down from both sides, forcing me into a purely defensive position."

While he couldn't be certain they would cooperate, Rein knew he couldn't gamble on that uncertainty.

"However, eliminating Hela is no simple task."

"Within this Nether Sea Domain, Hela possesses the ability to blink to any spot instantly, allowing her to chase me down or evade my Dawn Killing Move with ease."

"Landing a decisive blow on her seems nearly impossible..."

Suddenly, a flicker of realization sparked in Rein's eyes as a new thought took hold.

He shifted his gaze toward Gazrian.

In the immediate vicinity of the 'Ice Sea Giant Demon', the rain and mist were absent, replaced by a lingering aura of absolute frost.

"That's it! Even though I'm trapped in the Nether Sea Domain, this small pocket around Gazrian appears to be exempt from its influence."

"The freezing spell Gazrian cast earlier, combined with my repeated Dawn Killing Moves, has turned this specific zone into a near-vacuum of energy."

"In this space, I can utilize my full speed to maneuver freely, shaking off Hela’s interference and perhaps finding an opening to strike Gazrian once more!"

Having reached this conclusion, Rein’s form blurred, leaving a trail of afterimages as he lunged toward Gazrian.

"So, you’ve stopped resisting and chosen to flee?"

A look of smug derision crossed the black-robed girl's features.

To Hela, such an action was typical of the limitations of mortals.

Even if this youth named Rein was a peerless genius among his kind, his spiritual power had to be nearing exhaustion after his repeated use of the Dawn Killing Move.

To her, his attempt to escape was simply the predictable response of a cornered animal.

"But do you truly think you can get away?"

A faint, elegant smile graced Hela's breathtaking face.

In the next breath, the rain surrounding Rein birthed even more black-robed figures than there were afterimages of the boy.

These avatars manifested behind Rein one by one, mocking him like a predator toyed with a mouse, trying to break his spirit through psychological pressure.

However, as Rein crossed into the fifty-meter radius around Gazrian, Hela’s expression shifted.

She realized she could no longer close the distance.

One of her bodies, constructed from the rainwater, froze solid the moment it entered that specific zone.

A perfect ice sculpture of the black-robed girl now stood frozen in place within that area.

Her other manifestations within the rain curtain halted their pursuit immediately.

"Steel Forest!"

The moment Rein reached Gazrian's side, he seized the opening and unleashed his Dawn Killing Move for the ninth time without a moment's pause!

Ripples of dark silver metal surged outward, interrupting Gazrian’s healing process and once again shredding his soul.

"Roar!"

A cry of agony erupted from Gazrian. His white scales shattered in massive chunks as pale blue blood sprayed from every orifice, and his three heads began to lash out blindly in a frenzy.

The sheer torment had pushed him to the brink of madness!

His violent thrashing caused the surrounding rain, mist, and dark clouds to churn in a chaotic vortex!

"No, I can't permit this mortal to strike Gazrian again."

Hela's brow furrowed deeply as she witnessed the scene!

She could see that Gazrian was in a critical state.

Even though his counterattacks remained ferocious, his underlying aura had withered to a dangerous low.

From a distance of several dozen meters, Hela manifested eight water clones within the rain curtain, surrounding Gazrian’s massive form.

Just as Rein prepared to deliver the killing blow to Gazrian, a lethal spike of black water shot toward him with incredible speed.

Confronted by this unknown witchcraft, Rein was forced to cancel his Dawn Killing Move and flicker away to avoid the projectile.

"Puff!"

The black water cone hit the earth with terrifying force, boring a bowl-sized, bottomless hole into the ground!

Rein’s heart skipped a beat at the sight!

Such piercing power meant that even his Third Level Combined Witchcraft, 'Steel Armor', might fail to protect him.

As he retreated, several more black spikes whistled toward him from multiple angles.

It was only then that Rein realized he had been completely encircled by the numerous black-robed avatars of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela.
