By the time they left the mansion, it was already late in the evening, and Reiner and Claire had called a carriage and were ready to go to a well-known restaurant in the city for dinner.

But before the carriage could leave the rich area, it stopped inexplicably.

"What's wrong?"

Reiner asked the coachman, and after a few moments, the coachman spoke with a little trembling.

"First, sir...... Ahead, there was a man in front of him blocking the way. ”

His words revealed not panic, but fear, which made Reiner's nerves tense all at once.

He stepped out of the carriage and saw a young man in a black gown, with thick black hair and heavy bags under his eyes, standing in the middle of the deserted street, who was not standing straight, as if he had been pressed by something heavy on his shoulders, hunched over.

"What's wrong?"

Claire asked worriedly, feeling that the atmosphere in the air was a little uncalm.

"Don't worry, you go to the restaurant and wait for me first, I'll be there later."

Reiner reassured, then closed the door and let the coachman leave on the other side, leaving himself alone to face the other party.

The person in front of him was obviously a mage, at least at the level of the four rings, and the aura it exuded caused the fear of the coachman just now, even Reiner, standing in front of him, felt an invisible sense of oppression.

The neighborhood shouldn't have been so quiet at this time, and if Reiner was not mistaken, suggestive magic had been set up in advance to disperse outsiders and create a relatively empty environment.

"I don't know you."

Reiner asked when he saw that the carriage had gone away, and at the same time, he touched his Hohenheim gold cup ring.

"Of course you don't know me, but I think you should know Henry. Basil. ”

The other said slowly, as if talking about the weather and today's dinner.

"Serpent of Chaos?"

Reiner quickly reacted, the powerful mage in front of him must be a member of the Chaos Serpent, and his purpose was to avenge his companions!

"As you can see, I am 'sloth,' and you may call me Ampekos."

The man who called himself Ampekos performed a classical mage ceremony, and as he said it, the man's movements were invisibly lazy and weak.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

Reiner said quietly.

"It depends on your intentions, to be precise, I'm here to invite you to join us."

Ampekos replied, with a nonchalant expression on his face, unable to tell whether he was lying or sincere.

"Henry died at your hands, his place just became vacant, and if you join us, you can become the new 'glutton' and share knowledge between our organizations."

"What if I refuse?"

Reiner observed the other party's movements, and around Ampekos, there seemed to be some kind of invisible thing surrounding, and he could feel the surge of magic power, although it did not have the crushing feeling brought by high-level mages, but it was still very dangerous.

"Then I can only kill you, to be honest, I didn't mean that, but for various reasons, someone really wanted your life, so ......"

Ampekos shrugged, feeling rather helpless in the face of such a troublesome matter.

"Please die."

He suddenly raised his hand.

Although nothing happened in his field of vision, Reiner still felt a strong killing intent, and he quickly activated Issaris's illustrious armor while dodging to one side.

The sound of breaking the sky crossed his ears, and Reiner only felt that several invisible blades had hit his original position, but he couldn't see any traces.

"Huh? You're already at the level of the four rings, no wonder Henry misses. ”

Ampekos tilted his head, and after a moment of confusion, the awe-inspiring killing intent swept over again.

Reiner didn't rush to dodge this time, but raised his hand, and in the afterglow of this evening sunset, a bright sun rose.

The eternal blazing sun of Lanchester!

The huge fireball flew towards Ampekos at high speed, but soon, at the halfway point between the two of them, the fireball seemed to be hit by several blades, falling apart and gradually falling into embers.

The power of more than four rings!

Reiner quickly made a judgment and continued to move sideways as he opened the fog barrier around him.

"Don't run."

Ampekos's gaze followed Reiner, and the next moment, the air around him suddenly froze.

Reiner could feel that from Ampekos's body, powerful magic power was pouring out from all directions, which almost formed a 360-degree attack without dead ends, and at the same time, such a violent attack still could not be captured with the naked eye.

It's like an enhanced version of the Mage's Hand, but Reiner knows that the Mage's Hand doesn't have such a far range, and it must be the opponent's original magic.

Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Reiner could only raise his hand again, and the second eternal blazing sun burst out.

Ampekos smiled, he didn't think that the Eternal Blazing Sun could withstand his attack, and soon, the blazing fireball disintegrated in front of Ampekos's strange attack, but the next moment, the palpitating agitation made the expression on Ampekos's face freeze.

He saw that the fireball, which had been gradually dimming, suddenly expanded, and the high concentration of magic power was directly released, forming a huge vortex.

Bang

The shock wave of the explosion directly neutralized all of Ampekos's attacks, and he even had to defend himself, and in front of him, a transparent barrier blocked the explosion, but it still made him take several steps back.

"How so?"

Ampekos had no idea that the broken magic would produce such an explosion, perhaps because he had let his guard down by easily breaking through the Eternal Blazing Sun before, so Reiner's surprise attack caught him off guard.

The other party's reaction made Reiner understand a lot, it seems that his spell, the queen killer has not been known by the people of the Chaos Serpent, this will be his biggest hole card against the enemy.

Of course, Reiner can't fight the enemy on his own, he has just sent the message through the Hohenheim Gold Cup Ring, he just needs to hold on for a certain amount of time, there is no need to rush to kill the enemy.

Ampekos's strength is definitely stronger than Reiner's current strength, at least at Henry's level, in this kind of situation where the enemy has prepared in advance, it is indeed quite difficult for Reiner to fight back, but it can still be done by delaying time.

Reiner then took out a magic stone from his storage bag, which he had carefully sifted through and was best suited to use as a carrier for the queen killer.

He was about to fight back, but suddenly noticed a figure slowly walking behind him.

The figure crossed Reiner and walked towards Ampekos.

"Who, how could it be ......"

Ampekos didn't expect an unexpected figure to suddenly appear at this time, and he hurriedly attacked, and an invisible blade swept towards the man.

But all the attacks didn't have any effect, and the other party swaggered in front of Ampekos.

Then, with a punch, the emaciated man flew straight away, and Ampekos slammed headfirst into a villa, dusty.

"It's a strong ......"

Reiner watched all of this stunned, and then, he saw the guy who suddenly appeared turn around and look at himself.

It wasn't any high-level mage Reiner knew, but it was familiar.

"Boy, you seem to be in big trouble."

The other man smiled, then stepped out and walked in front of Reiner, grabbing his wrist.

Reiner only felt the world spin for a while,
