Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1420 - 485: Three Heads_2

"How truly bothersome...."

The plan Rein had devised to evade the Nether Sea Goddess Hela by circling Gazrian at high speed had been completely neutralized by his adversary.

This meant he was denied the opening needed to halt his movement and execute his Dawn Killing Move against Gazrian.

While Rein possessed the ability to cast other forms of witchcraft instantaneously, their offensive power was insufficient to bring Gazrian down for good.

"It appears I have no choice but to resort to that particular technique."

While maintaining his rapid movement through the Top Secret Technique Shadow Step, Rein spoke aloud:

"Nether Sea Goddess Hela, your prowess as a divine entity seems rather underwhelming!"

"Your projections and avatars were both crushed by me during our last two encounters."

"And this time, you..."

Rein was intentionally attempting to provoke the Nether Sea Goddess Hela, hoping to trigger a violent emotional response.

He knew that if his opponent succumbed to rage or lost her composure, a window of opportunity would present itself.

"Silence, you insignificant worm!" The girl in the black robe shivered with fury.

It was evident that Rein's taunts had struck a nerve, forcing Hela to relive those two deeply humiliating defeats.

"What is the matter? Have I touched a raw nerve?"

"Am I not merely recounting the facts?"

Rein's mocking tone pushed Hela to the brink of a total breakdown, her temper resembling a volcano on the verge of eruption!

"Die!"

To ensure her attacks found their mark, Hela channeled the full power of the Nether Sea Domain. The number of figures manifested from the rain doubled in an instant, and a barrage of Black Water Cones surged toward Rein with even greater density.

...

At the boundary of the Nether Sea Domain.

While the two Ajax Magic Statues remained stationary in the downpour, a growing swarm of white spirits circled them.

Suddenly, however, many of these spirits broke away, drifting back into the thickest parts of the rain.

"Wait? Benito, the spirit count here is dropping fast! What is the situation on your end?"

Inside the control room, Rebecca—who had just been fighting off over a dozen spirits—was stunned to see her attackers retreating.

"The same is happening here!"

"Rebecca, look outside! The rain is letting up and the fog is starting to clear."

"What could be causing this?" Benito shouted, his voice filled with relief.

"I am uncertain, but it is surely a positive sign!" Rebecca said, her beautiful eyes tracing the scene through the control room glass with intense curiosity.

...

High in the sky, beyond the curtain of rain.

"Prince Menia, was that Gazrian’s cry just now?" Reginald asked the Red Queen Menia, who flew beside him.

Under normal circumstances, the Nether Sea Domain should have suppressed all energy ripples and sound; no noise from the interior should have escaped.

"I heard it as well," Menia replied with a firm nod.

"If my suspicions are correct, the energy within the Nether Sea Domain has been depleted to the point where it can no longer contain the internal disturbances."

"Could the Nether Sea Goddess be performing some secret technique upon Gazrian?"

"No, I just detected a faint vibration of metallic energy particles. It must be Rein... wait, Rein is likely fighting both Gazrian and the avatar of the Nether Sea Goddess at the same time!"

A realization struck Menia, her expression shifting as she urged her dragon into a steeper dive.

Reginald’s brow furrowed at her words as he followed closely behind.

In their estimation, even with the trump card of dragon transformation that he used in Ferdinand Forest, Rein stood little chance against the combined might of the Ice Sea Giant Demon and a divine avatar.

They had to penetrate the Nether Sea Domain immediately to assist him.

If they failed, the Empire’s greatest genius, Rein, might perish in this distant land.

The two Dragon Knights descended rapidly, reaching the side of the Federation Sword Saint, Terrio.

"Prince Menia, Crown Reginald, you have escaped as well? Where is Lord Rein?" Terrio asked, looking around for the missing youth.

"Lord Terrio, Rein is likely still trapped and under heavy assault within the Nether Sea Domain. We must combine our strength at once to shatter the barrier."

"So this is the Nether Sea Domain?" Terrio’s eyes widened as the situation became clear.

"Indeed, and it is likely being maintained by an avatar of the Nether Sea Goddess."

"Are the three of us enough to break it?"

"We will find out shortly. Our chances are high; the struggle inside has disrupted the energy flow. We only need to strike a weakened point to collapse the entire domain."

"Very well! I will follow your lead."

"Our thanks, Lord Terrio."

"Prince Menia, as I was breaking out, I noticed what looked like a significant weak point at the center of the cloud cover. We should target that area," Reginald suggested.

"Then let us not waste another moment!"

Reginald commanded his dragon, Ted, to take Federation Sword Saint Terrio aboard, and they soared toward the sky.

The three masters and their dragons soon reached the heart of the dark clouds, discovering a region that was nearly translucent.

"It is indeed a vulnerability!" the sharp-eyed Sword Saint Terrio confirmed, sensing the fragility of the Nether Sea Domain in that spot.

"Shall we begin, gentlemen?"

"Yes!"

"Let us do it!"

The three epic-level combatants unleashed their most powerful techniques simultaneously, focusing their combined might on the center of the domain!

"Giant Rock Throwing!"

"Super Divine Cross Slash!"

"Blazing Light Wave Cone!"

A massive surge of crimson and golden sword light tore through the air, screaming toward the thinnest section of the clouds.

"Boom!!!"

Below, the 'Ice Sea Giant Demon' Gazrian—who was still recovering—suddenly felt a terrifying wave of energy descending from above. A sense of impending doom filled its heart.

The red beam, being the fastest, missed the three heads but slammed directly into Gazrian's massive torso.

However, the giant boulder and the silver cross-shaped sword light struck two of its heads with pinpoint accuracy.

This sudden intervention caught both the black-robed girl and Rein by surprise in the middle of their duel!

"Now is my chance!"

Rein’s eyes flashed. He instantly reshaped the hardened essence gold in his grip into a razor-sharp spear and hurled it at the final remaining dragon head.

"Squelch!"

In a single heartbeat, all three of Gazrian’s heads were destroyed!

The demon’s colossal frame began to tilt and sway. The protective ice domain it had been maintaining collapsed, and massive amounts of ice energy began to leak away.

"No!!!" the Nether Sea Goddess Hela screamed in rage, glaring at the sky.

Through the gaping hole in the dark clouds, she could see the three figures and two dragons hovering above.

Hela’s eyes fixed momentarily on the Red Queen Menia in her crimson wizard robes.

"Filthy ants."

"Scions of Dragon..."

Hela realized that her objective was now unattainable.

If she lingered, this hastily assembled avatar would likely be destroyed by these mortals.

"I shall return!"

The girl in the black robe gave Rein one final, lingering look before her many manifestations began to dissolve...

"Wait? She is retreating just like that?" Rein was slightly caught off guard.

He had expected the furious Nether Sea Goddess to stay and fight to the bitter end.

Instead, she had chosen to withdraw with cold efficiency.

"It seems she has gained better control over her temper."

"She is becoming an increasingly difficult opponent to manage..."

As the Nether Sea Domain began to dissipate, the roar of dragons filled the air once more.

"It is Prince Menia’s group. I must act quickly."

Rein blurred across the distance, appearing next to the mangled 'Ice Sea Giant Demon' Gazrian, and plunged his hand into one of its gaping wounds.

As his palm made contact with the flesh.

The touch of the pale blue blood sent a searing, hot current through his arm and into his entire being.

As the heat was integrated into his system, the interface notifications began to scroll frantically:
