Even a blurred shadow couldn't be captured, so the scene they witnessed at this moment was extremely eerie, making their hearts leap with fear!
The fierce sounds of collisions and the sharp whistling of cutting through the air continuously swept up gales from the clearing, yet in the soldiers' field of vision, not a single silhouette could be seen.
As the High-Tier officers of the Kingdom, situated between the transcendent and the legendary, they barely caught two blurred shadows moving at high speed, but couldn't see the specific maneuvers clearly.
It was like watching two arrows that could change direction, constantly clashing and separating.
They saw only a few glimpses, and already felt their eyes aching.
The full exertion of their visual capture in such a short period caused ciliary muscles to overload!
The only one able to slightly discern some actions was the severely injured Kingdom's legendary — Sword Saint, Duke Musadi.
As a Sword Saint, vision was a focal point in training, hence he could barely make out some movements.
But precisely because of this, his inner astonishment grew even greater!
Because Duke Musadi had just put himself in Raine's position, thinking if it were him instead of Raine, he might have been lying on the ground by now.
Blocking two moves would have been the limit.
And perhaps a bit of luck would be required.
The face of Black Fist Army Commander Omar turned somewhat unsightly, as he looked at Raine with eyes devoid of the initial high-and-mighty demeanor.
'What kind of special explosive skill is this?'
Omar rationalized that Raine's current ability to match his speed and power stemmed from Raine activating some kind of explosive skill.
But no matter what kind of explosive skill, there must be a time limit.
Once the time is up, combat power would quickly recede.
But because of this, he couldn't achieve instant domination.
This realization somewhat displeased Omar emotionally.
Because he was a Legendary High-Tier enhancer, further empowered by Divinity Energy infusion, his physical attributes like strength and speed had been further amplified, thoroughly reaching Legendary Peak level.
Omar reckoned unless it's someone like Taros III, a top-tier continent power, otherwise, he should be able to sweep the arena!
With this mindset, while it didn't prompt Omar to decide to explode immediately, his inner self was already itching somewhat.
"Boom!!"
After another clash between a black-glowing iron fist and a platinum warhammer, both Omar and Raine retreated.
"Young man, not bad, although you killed Osber, I can offer you a chance. Join the Black Fist Church, not only will you survive, but you'll gain unimaginable strength, power, and wealth!"
Omar spoke passionately, while raising his right fist and gripping it fiercely with great momentum.
Raine shook his head, remained silent, and merely tightened his grip on the warhammer in his hand.
"That's quite regrettable then!"
As the words fell, Omar's aura surged dramatically, a black tornado formed with him at the center, swirling upwards towards the sky.
'Explosive skill?'
This level of eruption made Raine realize immediately that the opponent was going to unleash his full strength.
If that's the case....
Raine then unsheathed the Emperor's Hammer from his waist and grasped it in hand.
The two heavy hammers intended for two-handed wielding now held in one hand each by Raine, appeared slightly oversized relative to his physique.
Normally, hammers aren't necessarily better the heavier they are, but should match one's own strength and combat skills; let alone with single-arm wielding of two-handed heavy hammers.
Henry beside them grew tense watching.
Logically, Raine shouldn't be making such amateur mistakes!
'Gigantification Lv4!'
With a silent chant in his heart, Raine's muscles swelled instantly, bulging veins stood out on his arms, neck, and forehead, his height shot up significantly as if becoming a small giant, making the two heavy hammers in his grasp appear rather petite!
Although Emperor's Hammer's Special Effect Four 'Ignore Defense' was still on cooldown, its Special Effect One was — 'When swinging the hammer, attack speed increases by 25%.'
Whether it's Hammer of Shattering or Emperor's Hammer, not only are both divine artifacts but also hammers!
Holding the two heavy warhammers respectively in his hands, they seem like toy forks, Raine's blood seemed to boil as red currents enveloped him, surging upwards.
From afar, his aura was not inferior to that of Black Fist Army Commander Omar.
"Since when did Raine's power reach such a level!" Henry muttered to himself.
Back when he first met Raine, the latter's performance was far less impressive than now, roughly at the Kingdom genius level.
But now unexpectedly comparable to top-tier continent power....
On the field.
Raine took a step forward ahead of Omar.
As the Steel Boots hit the ground, visible ripples spread out, and the guards in the Royal Palace's rear garden felt like an earthquake occurred, struggling to stand steady.
Using this step, Raine seemed to teleport to Omar's side, both heavy two-handed warhammers swung down like lightning!
"Boom! Boom!"
Omar similarly swung his fists in counterattack!
The iron fist collided repeatedly with the two warhammers.
Just one clash, Omar's pupils contracted suddenly, an entire person retreated swiftly akin to a startled rabbit.
Raine, however, didn't pursue but glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and then shifted his gaze forward.
Just now, coordinating Gigantification Lv4, he had for the first time fully unleashed Hammer of Shattering's most potent Special Effect Three — 'In Focused State, during the next melee attack, gain 'Shatter All' effect. (This effect triggers only once within one minute.)'
"Hammer of Shattering!"
Omar stared fixedly at the platinum warhammer in Raine's right hand, now guessing the origins of this hammer.
Other than the Dwarf King's exclusive weapon Hammer of Shattering, no divine artifact boasts such strong attack power!
But the problem was, how could this hammer be in the hands of this youngster?
He was puzzled.
Omar's face was somewhat unsightly, although his vanished right fist stopped bleeding, surrounded by dense black light at the jagged wrist, flesh buds were rapidly extending.
But no doubt, his combat power was greatly affected short-term.
Moreover, he didn't reckon Raine would give him breathing space.
Sure enough!
In Omar's sight, the young figure before him vanished again, while a sharp sound of splitting through the air echoed from beside him!
"Boom! Boom!"
Worried about getting hit directly by Hammer of Shattering again, Omar involuntarily became hesitant, against the storm-like double hammer strikes, he could only attempt to block the hammer handles, not the hammer heads.
This left him even more passive having already lost a fist.
"Boom!!"
Raine's Emperor's Hammer in his left hand manifested a double shadow, smashing heavily into Omar's open chest.
Double Strike!
Omar's chest armor instantly caved in a large chunk, his whole body got blasted half a meter off the ground, flying backward like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
He crashed through two walls in succession, getting buried under collapsing debris, dust rising all around!
"Boom!"
But in the next instant, Omar rose from the ruins, extremely bedraggled, none of the appearance of a top-tier continental power when he first arrived at Rapids Castle.
"Fortunately, before I arrived, my Lord foresaw this situation." Omar wiped the blood spilling at the corner of his mouth, his expression hideous, "You must be a Saint of Moradin, else how could Hammer of Shattering be in your hands."
"I should've realized, someone capable of killing Osber wouldn't be an ordinary person."
"But, prepare to embrace death!"
Finishing his words, Omar spread his arms, a dense black pillar of light erupted with him at the center, shooting skywards.
The next moment, a gigantic and majestic black-robed king seated upon a skeletal vine throne appeared in mid-air behind Omar.
Omar's eyes flipped white suddenly, his whole body floated in the air, convulsing violently.
....
Meanwhile.
In a manor somewhere within Winterless City.
"Detected it!"
"Sensing device activated, approximately twenty kilometers northeast of Winterless City!" Two Urein Empire spies exclaimed excitedly.
"Quick, report back!"
And far away in Imperial Capital Naisegard.
At the grand city's central area, atop the highest point of the Royal Palace built along the mountains, a crown-wearing figure with a silver mask also turned towards the direction of Winterless City.
"Finally found it!"
