Chapter 165: Breaking into the Shell (Two in One Mega Chapter)_3
Although only a little bit was pierced through, the black spike carried a violent shock force as it embedded about two centimeters into his forehead.
At this moment, Marla's light blue 'water membrane shield', possibly due to being punctured, burst like a bubble with a 'pop', completely shattering!
Rein maintained his posture with both hands gripping the hammer, as he had just delivered an 'Earth-splitting Hammer' strike downwards!
Marla stood stiffly on the spot, his palm still open with fingers spread, guarding in front of his eyes, in a defensive manner, his facial expression was one of relief as if he had just released the life-saving water membrane shield.
"Boom!!!"
Just then, the back of Marla's head, directly opposite where the forehead was pierced, suddenly exploded.
Blood and white brain matter splattered everywhere!
Instantly, his head was hollowed out!
Because the back of Marla's head had been completely blown off, but his face still remained intact.
This gave people an illusion that from the front, Marla still bore an expression of relief on his face, as if he were still alive.
The next second, his body twitched twice and he fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, the first mate and boatswain had just put down their arms that had been shielding them from flying wood chips.
They both looked at the scene before them in utter shock, eyes bulging, mouths agape.
The scene had happened too quickly; they had no time to react, but as the storm of splintered wood cleared, they were immediately confronted with a terrifying sight.
Their boss... had just died like that!
They... specializing in Divination and water witchcraft, with strong self-defense capabilities, Marla their boss, just died like that?
This suddenly gave them an absurd feeling, as if Marla had done nothing, just stood there and let the enemy hammer him to death!
But obviously, that couldn't be, a cornered rabbit will even bite, let alone their boss!
Because the last time, when Rein was in 'triple stack state', a giant hammer strike with a 261% strength amplification almost broke Adams' black membrane shield at the time, that's why he chose such a fierce approach this time.
And this time, with Rein's strength further enhanced, reaching a 273% strength amplification along with the hammer technique secret skill 'Earth-splitting Hammer', he finally achieved a shield-breaking strike!
After killing the Diviner Marla with a hammer strike, Rein, to avoid exhausting his strength, immediately canceled 'Strength Burst' but retained 'Limit Break' and the Transcendent trait 'Huge Strength lv3'.
As a result, his entire stature quickly shrank.
Although Rein's Constitution had improved quite a bit, with his Limit Break value increased, deploying 'Limit Break', the Transcendent trait 'Huge Strength', and a full hundred percent 'Strength Burst' in such a triple stacked state, his explosive power was further enhanced.
So, the strain on his body was still not minimal.
But compared to the previous muscle-tearing 'aftereffect', it had obviously improved quite a lot.
However, to others, it seemed like after killing Marla, Rein was in a 'weakened' state after a burst of secret techniques.
Immediately, the two inside the captain's cabin came to their senses and roared furiously:
"He killed Boss Marla! Men!"
"You're dead! Quick, get someone here!"
There was no need for them to yell; such a commotion in the captain's cabin had already prompted the Bloodsail Pirates on guard nearby to rush in.
Only to be confronted with the sight of their boss's head hollowed out, they could not help but turn pale.
"Kill him!!" the Bloodsail Pirates were 'enraged'.
No matter what, Rein was only one man, while they...
were an entire ship's crew!!
Amidst the clamorous shouts, many fearless Bloodsail Pirates immediately charged at Rein, brandishing various weapons. Enjoy new stories from empire
However, as they approached Rein, they suddenly felt an intense heat, as if they were sprayed face-first with steam at eighty or ninety degrees Celsius.
Instantly, many weaker Bloodsail Pirate lackeys screamed, trying to push themselves backwards in retreat.
But they forgot they were in the captain's cabin, a confined space that was not particularly spacious, yet so many of them had poured in.
Although there was no stampede, the idea of retreat was simply wishful thinking!
"Aaah!!!"
One after another, the lackeys too weak to withstand the heat screamed as they covered their faces.
In just a few seconds, many people's skin had been scalded by Rein's 'high temperature force field'!
Turning from bright red to starting to whiten, this was...
a sign of almost being cooked!
A few who were too forceful in clutching their faces tore the epidermis from their faces, revealing the bloody underlying flesh.
The surrounding Bloodsail Pirates witnessed this eerie spectacle, and for a moment, none dared step forward.
But soon, from the continuously arriving Bloodsail Pirates, several raised their brand-new matchlock guns, already lit.
Rein narrowed his eyes. Although he had the Transcendent trait 'Iron Skin lv3' and did not fear such low-caliber bullet attacks, he had no need to have a showdown with the enemies here.
He would stick to the plan he had set before! thought Rein.
The next second, Rein used the weighty pig-head hammer to heavily strike the floor, breaking a large hole in the deck of the captain's room, and he immediately jumped down to the next deck.
