Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1492 - 513: The Returning Airship

At the epicenter of the oceanic conflict.

The smug grin on Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s face vanished instantly upon Rein’s abrupt arrival and the sight of the colossal ‘Leviathan Giant Whale’ drifting lifelessly on the waves.

"Did a mere mortal truly slay Jorgandman with such haste?"

"It appears the lengthy imprisonment stripped away nearly all of its vitality."

In truth, the Sea God Sect’s restoration efforts had returned seventy to eighty percent of the ‘Leviathan Giant Whale’ Jorgandman’s peak strength; Hela simply refused to acknowledge a mortal's prowess.

"Nevertheless, your destiny remains sealed. Agony and eternal torment are all that stay your path."

"The red dragon from before possessed some wit, choosing to self-destruct. Had it not, I would have harvested its dragon soul and transformed its carcass into a Nether Dragon..."

Rein paid no heed to the Nether Sea Goddess Hela’s threats. Standing protectively before the mourning ‘Red Queen’ Menia, he spoke coldly:

"Nether Sea Goddess, don't you find your own rambling tiresome?"

"If you possess the skill, then prove it!"

"Mortal, do you honestly believe your two previous escapes were due to your own power? How incredibly naive."

"Naive? Let us trade blows first; perhaps the naive one is you," Rein replied with composure, his eyes locked onto Hela.

In the following heartbeat, he lunged forward with a sharp "swish."

Despite his taunts, Rein dared not underestimate Hela. He maintained his old dragon form, and two additional dragon heads erupted from his neck, unveiling his ultimate combat state.

The three-headed old dragon form!

"Hm? A Multi-Headed Dragon Bloodline?" The sight of Rein’s transformed state clearly caught the Nether Sea Goddess Hela off guard!

Stung by Rein’s insults, Hela did not retreat from the charging three-headed dragon. Instead, the dark waters beneath her surged upward, causing her physical manifestation to swell rapidly.

Within seconds, her stature surpassed fifty, then sixty meters, eventually towering over Rein’s draconic form. In her grasp, a trident forged of pure energy materialized.

"Splash!"

A circular wave of black water erupted toward Rein.

"Roar!!!"

Confronting the dark tide, the red dragon head on Rein’s right side unleashed a concentrated cone of scorching fire.

The collision of crimson and black triggered a violent reaction, releasing clouds of putrid black vapor. Flying fish knights and sea creatures caught in the crossfire perished instantly.

Possessing immense poison resistance, Rein was undeterred by the toxic mist. The three-headed dragon burst through the fog, striking directly at Hela, the avatar of the deep!

"Clang!!!"

A draconic claw shimmering with dark silver light slammed into the energy trident. The impact produced a deafening metallic screech, sending ripples of shockwaves through the air.

"Is this the extent of your strength?" Hela remarked mockingly.

"Swish!"

Rein offered no verbal retort. Instead, his other claw made a subtle movement, and a dark silver disc blurred through the air!

"Slash!"

Because of their proximity and the blistering speed of the Dawn Killing Move, ‘Blade-toothed Disc,’ the whirling metal blade sliced clean through the waist of Hela’s aquatic avatar.

"You!!!" Shock and fury twisted Hela’s features at the successful strike.

Rein’s assault did not pause. His three-headed avatar leaped high, shredding Hela’s severed form with all four limbs. Simultaneously, his three heads unleashed their full power, vomiting three distinct breaths at the Goddess’s face, throat, and chest!

"Fiery Breath!"

"Void Breath!"

"Particle Breath!"

The chaotic fusion of these three energies instantly swallowed the Nether Sea Goddess Hela in a cataclysmic explosion!

Rein retreated swiftly to a safe distance, as the volatile mixture of breaths triggered a massive detonation.

"Phew~~"

A wave of deep fatigue washed over him, forcing him to draw a ragged breath.

Though the exchange had lasted less than ten seconds, Rein had expended every resource. His recently restored stamina was now completely drained.

The ferocity of the attack had been effective; Hela’s hundred-meter avatar had been decimated, leaving no trace behind.

Nearby, the high-ranking witches and sorcerers of the Sea God Sect stared at Rein as if he were a ghost. The flying fish and manta knights fled his presence, treating him like a predatory beast!

Their expressions screamed: 'What sort of freak is this? Our goddess was actually struck down!'

Pope Egil of the Sea God Sect looked on in disbelief, yet he did not flee. He remained locked in combat with Reginald, seemingly relying on a hidden trump card.

Gazing at the spot where Hela had vanished, Rein felt a brief moment of relief.

However, an unsettling sensation began to gnaw at him.

His danger perception was not fading; instead, the sense of an impending threat was intensifying.

She wasn't dead?

"Rein, look out!" the Red Queen Menia screamed from his flank.

To his rear right, a massive surge of black water erupted from the ocean, quickly reforming into the Nether Sea Goddess Hela. With a flick of her wrist, dozens of black water vortexes streaked toward Rein.
