After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The cold wind swept through, and Lin Da's heart beat wildly as he watched the crimson blade grow larger in his field of vision.

The oppressive feel of the magical creatures was more than double that in the game.

The massive size and claws resembling scimitars made one want to run away involuntarily.

Lin Da did not retreat, he bellowed and struck out with the Azure Sword with all his might, meeting the Death Crab Pincer that was bigger than his entire body.

The two forces collided fiercely.

Even though the Azure Sword was a supreme orange weapon, Lin Da still felt strained when facing this magical creature.

The intense recoil tore his palms, numbed his arms, and brought fiery pain.

The Verdant Shield shattered, and his hit points dropped by 4300!

Having blocked the massive creature's attack with one sword strike, Lin Da took out three life potions from his belt, uncorked them, and chugged them down like oral liquid.

In his heart, he silently chanted, blessing a new Verdant Shield and Healing Art.

+1134

+570

+561

On the other side, Phyllis was perspiring heavily and casting Healing Art on Lin Da.

But Lin Da's maximum health points were too high.

With just their two Primary Healing Spells, they could not restore full health in a short period.

The Red Armored Crab King wouldn't wait for them, its sharp pincers furiously attacking Lin Da.

The light from the Verdant Shield gradually dimmed.

If things continued like this, when the next Death Crab Pincer came, Lin Da, in such a poor state, definitely would not be able to resist.

Everyone became anxious.

Monica clutched her magic wand in terror, tears welling up in her eyes, while Kafni bit her lip and stepped forward as if determined to sink the ship.

Golden divine power brewed within her, ready to take the risk of becoming a cripple to attempt a rescue.

"He won't... die at the hands of a magical creature, will he...?" Lia looked anxious, her fists clenched in agitation, her mind completely blank.

The tail of the Red Armored Crab King struck Lin Da, and the Verdant Shield broke.

Then, a pair of scissor-like pincers crossed and cut down.

The chilly wind of death blew against Lin Da's frail Life Barrier!

"— System, add points."

In his heart, Lin Da calmly spoke these four words.

Mystical Points depleted by 40,000.

Injected into the Experience Points bar.

In the blink of an eye, the Experience Points bar burst and shattered.

The energy within surged into Lin Da's body.

In the night sky of his spiritual world, the 17th star lit up.

In a single breath, Lin Da stepped into level 17!

Divine Light descended, Lin Da bathed in the golden glow, his magic power and hit points rapidly recovering, like a withered tree greeting the warm spring rain, new branches and green leaves starting to grow vigorously!

His Life Barrier solidified once more.

Steadily, it withstood the Death Crab Pincer.

The Red Armored Crab King gazed at the insignificant human, its eyes revealing a look of disbelief.

The opponent was on the brink of death just moments ago.

How could he suddenly be bursting with life again, like nothing had happened?

Be that as it may,

the advantage was still on the side of the magical creature.

Aiko and the others tensed up, subconsciously thinking: Lin Da could luckily breakthrough once in battle, relying on the leveling up Divine Light to block the Red Armored Crab King's attack.

But what about next time?

It can't be that someone could comprehend and break through twice consecutively in battle, can it?

"Lin Da... take my last bit of magic power!"

Phyllis, like a background figure with both hands raised becoming light power, drained the last trace of her magic power to cast Healing Art on Lin Da.

However, this 'light' was too little, merely a drop in the bucket.

Phyllis's healing of just over 500 each time was pitiful compared to Lin Da's hit points in excess of 5000.

With all its strength, the Red Armored Crab King furiously executed a second Death Crab Pincer!

Like a giant wielding a sky-cleaving giant axe.

Chopping down at an undaunted tiny ant on the ground.

Lin Da's response was a single motion.

And a calm phrase in his heart.

He attacked the mountainous magical creature with the Azure Sword.

Mouthing silently, "System, give me points!"

60,000 Mystical Points poured in.

The empty Experience Points bar, like a clueless child seized by a Goblin, was filled by Mystical Points as if by a giant club.

The moment it was filled, the translucent, glass-like Experience Points bar turned into a dazzling glow stick.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, it shattered and overflowed.

Fresh power entered Lin Da's body.

And the night sky of his spiritual world!

The 18th star lit up.

Lin Da stepped into level 18 at his second breath!

Divine Light descended, filling the emptied hit points with the terrifying speed of torrential rain pouring into a water tank, instantly restoring them to 5000 points.

Plus, a Primary Healing Spell added another 1200.

Overlay the Verdant Shield...

It took less than a second.

Lin Da was back to full strength!

In the eyes of the Red Armored Crab King, a human-like shock emerged, and its mouthparts chewed in hate, as if a human was grinding their teeth in frustration!

Why!

Each time, it managed to reduce this ant to the brink of death.

But it was just a little short.

This human always managed to become vibrant and lively before its second attack could be launched.

Once or twice could be overlooked.

But since the battle began, it launched numerous skills, yet at most could only maim the opponent.

Just a bit more, and it could have ended this human's life.

Yet that bit was like a chasm without seeable shores.

The Red Armored Crab King, despite its full might, couldn't reach it.

As a king among the crabs, it wouldn't allow itself to be defeated.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Red Armored Crab King issued a piercing screech and, with all its strength, launched a third Death Crab Pincer.

At that moment, time and space seemed to freeze.

The sensor ladybug in the sky was also frozen in place.

Behind the connected light screen, Mayor Adel and a group of staff, all held their breaths.

The members of Snow Goose Squad and Phoenix Tail Flower prayed nervously.

Kafni clenched her teeth, divine power surging to her palm.

In someone's heart, where no one else could hear, a calm whisper resounded:

"Add Points."

Lin Da struck with his sword, repelling the Red Armored Crab King with his frail body.

Then, he closed his eyes, as if comprehending some natural law.

Under incredulous stares, Divine Light descended upon Lin Da for the third time.

In less than six seconds, between three rounds of combat,

Lin Da leveled up three times, advancing to level 19!

As an adventurer, he was just one step away from level 20!

Whether it was the Snow Goose Squad or the operation hall of White Dove City, all was silent.

To perceive and break through during battle, three times in a row!

If people said the World Tree Goddess didn't favor this adventurer, no one would believe it.

Legend has it that the Goddess would bestow her luck on very few adventurers, hoping they would become worthy warriors to challenge the Demon King.

Could it be that Lin Da was one of those cherished by the World Tree Goddess?

"The Magical Creatures are at the end of their rope, everyone, focus fire!"

Lin Da's calm shout awakened everyone.

The Red Armored Crab King, after using high-consumption skills, was in a weakened state.

It was the perfect moment to finish off this Magical Creature!

Aiko and others snapped out of their shock.

Without the need to think more, they hastily cast spells or charged forward.

Skills bombarded wildly.

-15702!

-10845!

-5703!

The numbers indicating damage kept popping up.

Lin Da, seizing the opportunity, touched a piece of jewelry inside his pocket.

Equipped the Ferocious Fang.

It came with the skill: Lethal Strike.

Discover hidden content at empire

Pure strength output, unaffected by the Murderous Crab's 50% damage resistance, usable twice every 24 hours.

The moment Lin Da activated the skill, a powerful force surged within him.

He leapt up, and the Azure Sword slashed down.

"Lethal Strike!"

The azure sword radiance violently flashed.

The long sword split the Red Armored Crab King in two from top to bottom!

As Lin Da landed, the massive Magical Creature split in half, crashing down.

The corpse of the Magical Creature, like a small hill; Lin Da, sword in hand, facing away from the crowd, fresh blood streamed from his split palm, trickling down the hilt and blade, drip by drip onto the ground.

Then, he raised his sword and issued an exhilarated roar.

The Red Armored Crab King was successfully vanquished!
