However, at that moment, Lord Reine looked around and walked over to inspect the huge holes in the ground, only to find that the Legendary Earth Snake had already fled without a trace.
Lord Reine casually picked up the replica imperial scepter that had fallen on the ground. The imperial power contained within it was almost completely depleted after this use.
Clearly, to use it again, he would need to return to the Sword Bearers Branch to recharge it.
Yet he was somewhat hesitant, unsure whether to pursue the injured Legendary Earth Snake or stay behind to protect Cleya and the others.
Of course, although the Earth Snake had been injured by the replica imperial scepter, the injury was not severe, and, as a creature from the ancient Legendary Species, its strength exceeded his.
Even if Lord Reine managed to catch up to it, he was not confident that he could kill it with a single strike using the Warhammer's special effect, "Soul Shatter Strike."
