Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Instantly, a green arc, as thick as a child's arm and leaping like a squirrel, was conducted from the Spiritual Greyhound to Rein's palm.

Immediately after, a second green arc appeared, originating from a robust black unicorn that had just entered.

Finally, the sky echoed with a loud eagle cry, and suddenly, the third green arc appeared.

In a moment, three visible green arcs, jumping like high-voltage currents, connected the three feral beasts and Rein's body.

Rein slowly rose, and pebbles rolled off his body.

"It hurts so much!"

Rein looked down at the indentation at his chest.

This was the first time he had sustained such a severe injury.

Fortunately, before it happened, he had already commanded his three battle pets to arrive.

After casting the signature skill of Beast Priest, 'Beastly Vitality lv3 (Active)', Rein felt three surging torrents of heat emanating from his three battle pets, swiftly circulating at his chest.

This heat flow had the dual effect of restoring energy and healing injuries.

Rein half-squinted his eyes, sensing the tingling sensation at his chest as the damaged bones and muscles rapidly healed!

A few seconds later, at the cost of his three battle pets' exhaustion, Rein straightened himself again, full of spirit.

...

Meanwhile.

Sword Bearers Branch.

Though ordinarily, the branch strictly prohibited non-Sword Bearer personnel from entering, due to the severe cult attack, the Sword Bearers Branch allocated the first floor of the administrative building to shelter some of the displaced citizens.

The elegant woman Jennifer was arranged in the office of the Support Enhancement Department, together with Deputy Officer Melanie.

"Now that the lady is settled, shouldn't we be supporting the captain?" Viery said seriously.

"I agree." Evelyn was the first to consent.

"I agree too, we can't let the captain fight alone." Angus nodded.

"Hmm, but we need to do something more." Neoro added.

"This time the enemy is a cult, we should head to the exchange hall to rent a replica Emperor's Scepter, I heard it's highly lethal against cult powerhouses."

"Exactly, so what are we waiting for, quick, let's go exchange...."

...

In the administrative hall.

At the moment still in the corner, Rein did not opt to join the fray immediately but instead quickly observed Exeter, who resembled a beast.

Since the trace of high-level aura vanished, Rein noticed that this guy seemed to have lost his mind.

Enormous Exeter raised his left hand, and several black spherical flames suddenly appeared above his palm.

The next second, they were blasted towards all the living beings around!

Even the few remaining Black Flame Monks fell victim to the attack!

Several Black Flame Monks also fell screaming, quickly turning to charcoal, further confirming Rein's suspicion.

Which means, the opponent's attack at the moment had no specific target.

All that was intended was slaughter, devouring flesh....

Exeter's conduct of indiscriminate attack made him more like a beast than a human right now.

However...

Having gone through a botched ascension ritual, Exeter's physical strength had now reached an extremely exaggerated level.

He was probably even top level among the Legendary Level.

Rein saw colorful First-level Witchcraft hitting Exeter's skin, and yet no wounds appeared.

Terrifying defensive power!

And for those below Great Knight level, Exeter was nothing short of a nightmare.

Because despite his bulky frame, his speed was incredibly fast.

Great Knights could barely react and tumble and dodge.

But those slightly weaker could either die from a bump or get injured from a scratch.

"Quick! Have everyone pull back! Anyone below Great Knight level staying here means death." Admiral Edward quickly said, wounded.

"Anyone not an official wizard or Great Knight! Get out!" Remiel shouted beside him as well.

Seeing this scene, Rein knew it was time for him to step up.

If he didn't go forward to restrain, the situation might soon become untenable.

Without hesitation, Rein immediately used his attribute points, adding a point to Strength, restoring his Physical Strength to Peak, while gripping tightly his Hardened Essence Gold Warhammer.

The next second!

The marble ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered like a spider web!

Rein dashed out a silver line, rapidly charging toward the out-of-control Exeter, the air rippling around him with water-like waves, while a fierce airwave conducted in all directions.

"An opponent who has lost their mind is easier to deal with than in that previous state."

Facing the incoming Rein, the mindless Exeter seemed to possess some instinct.

Almost as if he knew Rein was the culprit behind his ascension failure, and also seemed to know, Rein wouldn't be easy to handle.

Exeter swiftly grabbed a long-handled war knife left on the ground by someone unknown, and viciously chopped towards Rein.

Even though Rein could instantly transform his Shield or cast Witchcraft 'Metal Barrier' to block, at this moment, he wasn't inclined to confront head-on.

After all, the opponent's level was above his, and face-to-face confrontation had to be done out of necessity.

His primary goal was to buy time for his side to breathe and adjust.
