Chapter 188: Chapter 143: The Trick to Defeating the Enemy (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

Could it be that Rein was avoiding damaging his beloved greatsword?

Lagaray couldn't help showing a worried expression.

Rein, you fool, if the sword is damaged it can be reforged, but you only have one life!

Just as Lagaray was about to remind him with her words, she saw Rein circling the Iron Maiden automaton, 'bang bang pang pang' striking it a series of times.

Although the banging sounds grew louder, it was clear they were not causing any damage to the Iron Maiden automaton.

While the previous greatsword at least managed to create sparks against the automaton's sturdy shell and even some scratches.

Watching this scene unfurl, the figure in the black robe was also baffled?

Logically speaking, Rein was not a fool.

What is he doing?

However, Rein's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He slowly found it!

He found the key thing in defeating the opponent—the 'resonance frequency'!

It's just that the Strength he currently exerted was not enough!

"Huge Strength!"

With the activation of the Transcendent trait 'Huge Strength lv2,' Rein's Strength received another 60% increase, and his base limit-breaking already enhanced his Strength by 43%.

That is to say, Rein's Strength enhancement had reached 103%, jumping from 15 attribute points to 30.

"Clang!!"

A deafening strike resounded!

Under the impact of 30 attribute points' worth of Huge Strength, the Iron Maiden automaton was immediately knocked back, but its structure, akin to that of a weathervane, allowed it to quickly regain its balance.

"Just using a Transcendent trait will work?

"Heh heh, what a joke! We even had professionals in the church test it; even a Peak Knight can't break the Iron Maiden!" The Black Flame monk watching from afar laughed upon witnessing this scene.

"However, I can understand. A man in front of the girl he loves, knowing he is no match, still cannot admit defeat and struggles like a beast at bay."

"Seems... it's still not enough!" Rein also instantly realized.

The resonance frequency of the Iron Maiden automaton's shell was higher than he had anticipated.

The huge clanging sound also attracted the Night Watchman patrolling through the thick fog, as they swiftly burst through it and headed toward the source of the noise.

A trio of Night Watchmen in a night patrol squad promptly arrived at the scene of the skirmish between Rein and the Iron Maiden automaton.

The raging battle had dispersed much of the dense fog around, so the trio immediately made out the fighting parties. One was the familiar Deputy of Public Security—Rein, and the other was a strange and eerie metal maiden automaton.

"It's Lord Rein!"

"Quick, go help!"

The trio immediately rushed to assist!

"Don't come over!" Rein, noticing this scene, immediately shouted a warning.

But it was too late.

"Boom!!"

The Iron Maiden automaton's arms, wielding giant one-meter diameter spiked wheels, suddenly accelerated into a sprint towards the trio!

The three Night Watchmen were immediately struck mid-air with screams!

Two were hit head-on by the spiked wheels, each pierced through from head to crotch with a row of spikes, and it was apparent they were beyond saving.

The one in the middle was suddenly bound by a black, slender chain that appeared out of nowhere, and rapidly dragged toward the direction of the Iron Maiden automaton.

"Creak!"

The cylindrical skirt of the Iron Maiden automaton suddenly opened two iron doors, dragging the Night Watchman inside.

Seconds later, from the base of the automaton's cylindrical shape, 'pfft!' a lump of red flesh was ejected.

On the ground, there was now a puddle of mushy flesh, while the skin of the Night Watchman was peeled off in one complete piece.

The two women in the house watched this scene in shock, then exchanged looks of disbelief while Anna involuntarily shrank closer to Lagaray.

This was truly horrific!

Who on earth could have created such an evil thing!

Seeing his subordinates from the Night Watch be tragically killed, Rein's expression turned stern, anger welling up in his heart, but soon after, his swift-moving footsteps suddenly faltered and slowed down.

The Black Flame monk watching from a distance immediately showed an expression that seemed to have anticipated this.

"Generally speaking, the duration of a Knight pushing their body to the limit isn't very long, especially when also exerting a Transcendent trait."

"Now it seems he's out of strength and the state has worn off automatically!"

"Heh heh, that kid Rein is done for!"

...

Rein quickly glanced at the panel, and then, almost without thinking, chose to add an attribute point to Strength.

As the remaining attribute points decreased from 2?1, his Strength also increased from 15 points?16 points.

Suddenly, a warm flow emerged forcefully from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body!

All at once, the muscle soreness and fatigue covering Rein's body vanished without a trace!

And why did he choose to add to Strength?

That's because Rein considered that the two secret techniques of the Tokkal Hammer Technique required a high degree of Strength, and relying solely on the Giant Bear Breathing Technique's enhancement likely wouldn't meet the criteria in the short term.

With the activation of the core Skill 'Strength Burst,' Rein's body was like a prehistoric behemoth suddenly awakening!

The chromed iron plate armor wrapping his body was squeaking as it was squeezed by Rein's expanding muscles.

'Limit Break,' 'Huge Strength,' and an additional fifty percent from 'Strength Burst'!

Rein activated the 'Triple Stacked State'!

"Clang!!"

With Rein's strike, the metal handle of the bronze Warhammer was significantly bent, like a fully drawn bowstring, while the Iron Maiden automaton was suddenly rattled, completely frozen in place.
