Chapter 271: Ch 271: Test Continued
By attacking Rein with all its might, the monster left a big gap in its defence and that was exactly what Rein wanted. So he immediately used his short teleportation ability to dodge the punch that this monster threw toward him.
After dodging Rein immediately attacked the monsters purely with his physical strength. He used the fire element to launch himself toward the monster which increased his strength and used ice to cover his body. That way even if the ice was unable to harm the monster, it would at least be able to protect Rein from the impact.
This was the strongest physical attack that Rein had ever made in this world. As he had never faced an enemy who was strong against his fire and ice, Rein had never tried doing it. But now that he used a physical attack with all his might, the destructive power of it was very impressive.
Just as Rein had wished, this all out attack of his was able to break through the monster\'s high defense stat. But the wound he had managed to make was minor which would completely heal up in just a few minutes.
Obviously Rein knew that something like this would happen so he had other plans in mind.
With his Eye of Truth, Rein had found out that the fire resistance of this monster was limited to the outer portion of the body. His inner body was actually not resistant to fire at all.
So with this all out physical attack of his, Rein just wanted to get inside this monster\'s body. That\'s all. He had not expected to win with just this move alone. As soon as Rein found himself inside this monster, he immediately created a powerful fire and fed the fire a lot of energy. That fire started to burn with insane power and for the first time in this battle, this monster let out a loud howl of pain. After that it tried to get Rein out of his body and even tried to heal his outer part faster by focusing on it.
But obviously Rein was not foolish enough to let go of this golden opportunity and hold on with his dear life. Then after struggling for about 15 minutes or so, this large monster finally fell down and died. During this time when this monster was struggling, Rein had managed to completely burn the inside of this monster.
...
Just defeating this monster was not the end of the test that the will of the Desolate Plains had prepared for Rein. After Rein defeated this monster, another gate appeared before him to continue with this trial. Rein had expected it so without getting surprised by this, he calmly entered the door to go to the next location of his test.
While Rein completed his first test, Sophia and the others had managed to reach the location where Rein was supposed to take care of the monsters. Immediately Sophia was able to find the message that Rein had left behind. Rein had used a special cypher to write this message which was developed by him and Sophia. He had taught this to Ruby too but she would need a little more time to fluently read it. So for the time being, only Sophia was able to fully understand what Rein had said.
Sophia did not think that she needed to tell Ben and the others about everything so she only told them that Rein was fine but had got busy with a new clue that he had suddenly found and that he would meet with everyone again close to the previous location of the Huguocite mountain.
Later on when Ben\'s group was away from Sophia and Ruby, Sophia told her the complete story. This situation did make Ruby a bit worried but she had confidence in Rein and decided to do her best to get stronger for the time being. As she knew that without enough strength she would not be able to help Rein at all and might even become Rein\'s weakness.
Just like that, everyone continued their journey again but this time around, they were a little bit slower in advancing.

As for Rein, after going through the second gate, he found himself in a different location. In front of him, there was a large tree with fires burning on its branches instead of having leaves. This tree was massive, at least 100 meters tall. But everything around it was empty and dead, so instead of looking majestic and beautiful, this tree just looked scary and dangerous.
Just as Rein had expected, as soon as the tree registered his presence, it immediately attacked him. Fireballs started raining from the sky and roots covered in Eternal fire also attacked him from below. Rein used his fire and ice element as shields to block the fire rain while dodging all the roots by moving around.
But the number of the roots was so numerous that in almost no time, Rein had no more place to dodge the attacks. So he increased the power of the ice element and attacked the wall of roots attacking him. Just like that, he was able to destroy a portion of the root wall and escape the entrapment from there.
Unlike the previous opponent Rein faces, this tree was not resistant to his elements. But this tree had a large body so it was able to withstand a lot of damage. Not only that but it also had healing capabilities which was way stronger than the previous monster. So if Rein could not deal a huge amount of damage to it in a very short span of time, it would soon be able to heal and the damage would become zero.
Other than this super troublesome recovery ability, this monster\'s attacks were not too powerful. But as all the attacks were covered in Eternal fire, they were not harmless. And with so many things that this tree was able to use as the means of attacks, Rein was having a tough time dealing with it.
But as his elements were working on this monster, Rein was not too worried. So instead of wasting his energy by continuously dealing slight useless damage to this monster, he started to prepare a big, super destructive attack.
So would that be enough to end this battle ?
