Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1630 - 563: Key of Time_3

Previously on Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys...
Sword Saint Terrio and his companions hesitated on the negative second floor, weighing the decision to aid Rein against becoming a burden, before choosing to retreat to the surface. There, they discovered the gruesome remains of Robert and the two other Fire Element Dawn Wizards, slain by an escaped Divine Incarnation, casting a heavy pall over the group as tremors shook the ground from below. On the negative third floor, Rein pressed his assault, rapidly deducing and mastering the Metal Element Full Moon Killing Move "High-frequency Blade" at great cost in skill points, then unleashing it to bisect the charging Goblin Last Emperor Solson Gren amid swirling black aura. As the halves of Solson's body thudded to the ground, Rein exhaled in momentary relief.

Not only did the two halves of the body lift up once more, but delicate black strands resembling silkworm threads emerged at the severed spot, seemingly attempting to stitch the sections back together.

This sight prompted Rein to swiftly retreat through the air and redistribute points toward healing yet again.

While the Full Moon Killing Move boasts tremendous might, it demands an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

However, an even greater headache arises from the fact that Rein's latest Full Moon Killing Move apparently failed to eliminate this Goblin Last Emperor, tainted by the Fiend Demon.

Right as Rein pulled back, unsure of his next move.

The scene shifted once more!

Observers noted that the reassembled Goblin Last Emperor Solson Gren abruptly went rigid, as the goblin princess Amora's previously closed eyes, hovering in his wake, flew open in shock.

Right then, the odd golden armament in her grasp burst forth with a brilliant rainbow light, its inner crystal grains beginning to circulate like tiny specks.

Incredibly, an event unfolded that stunned Rein completely!

Some overwhelming power dragged Solson Gren backward toward the fourth underground floor...

Each stride brimmed with reluctance, each one compelled against his will!

"Roar!!!"

Regardless of the fury twisting his features or the desperate thrashing and howls he unleashed, nothing halted his forced withdrawal, as though time reversed in a flash!

Before long, Solson Gren disappeared this way into the third underground level...

Still, Rein caught the lingering echoes of roars from the fourth basement below.

Evidently, despite the Fiend Demon's hold making Solson Gren rage and resist fiercely, that colossal power proved utterly unstoppable.

As Rein pondered descending to investigate, a petite shadowy form gradually materialized from nowhere just ahead of him.

Rein held his ground, having already recognized the presence.

The silhouette matched the goblin princess Amora, who earlier drifted behind Solson Gren.

Though merely a spectral projection, Rein discerned from her vivid blue gaze that the goblin princess Amora remained free of the Fiend Demon's corruption, even if he couldn't fathom her method back then.

Moreover, another doubt nagged at Rein: if the goblin princess escaped the taint on her own, why didn't she prevent her father emperor's fall to the Fiend Demon?

"The Fiend Demon has been restrained once more, for at least a month—you're safe now. (Ancient Goblin)

If you want to rescue your people... don't depart this realm prematurely... seek out the true Key of Time... (Ancient Goblin)"

Yet prior to completing her words, the spectral form wavered, fading progressively as her tone grew ever fainter.

"Key of Time?" Rein seemed lost in thought.

For whatever reason, that phrase evoked the object the goblin princess Amora clutched at first—the same one that pierced Solson Gren's back.

Up until now, Rein had viewed it as an bizarrely formed blade.

Reflecting on it, however, didn't it resemble an enlarged key?

Its one side formed a loop, the opposite a solid shaft.

"Yet if Amora's possession truly counts as the Key of Time, why do I need to hunt for it still?" Rein wrinkled his forehead in confusion.

"Wait, the crucial term... might be 'true'?"

Rein arched a brow, a spark of realization flickering in his thoughts.
