After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

As Lin Da clicked to add points, the skill icon, entwined with locking chains, gradually unlocked amidst a rustling noise.

This skill also released a dazzling purple glow.

Lin Da stared intently.

[System Prompt: You have learned the ultimate skill 'Poison Dragon's Roar'!]

[Skill Name: Poison Dragon's Roar]

[Quality: Orange Rare]

[Type: Ultimate Skill]

[Consumption: High]

[Proficiency: lv1 Beginner]

[Effect: Concentrates the magic power of poison into an energy dragon that devours everything before it, causing 'Considerable' damage and afflicts the target with 10 layers of 'Dragon's Sorrow', each layer causing 'High Damage']

In the game Mystic Continent, skills described as 'Considerable' have a damage multiplier fluctuating between 600%-1000% depending on whether the skill affects a single target or an area.

This means that Lin Da's ultimate skill 'Poison Dragon's Roar' has at least a 6x damage increase, up to 10x.

That aside,

the main capability is to stack up to 10 layers of 'Dragon's Sorrow'.

Each layer of Dragon's Sorrow causes high damage, with a rate around 300%.

10 layers... that's 3000%.

Total damage adds up to a minimum of 3600%!

Even though Lin Da had predicted that his ultimate skill might be very powerful, this level of strength was still beyond his imagination.

Candidly speaking, if facing a level 20 Black Shell Crab General, Lin Da could send his opponent off with just one Poison Dragon's Roar.

This ultimate skill, when used against a Black Shell Crab General, could approximately inflict a total damage of 30,000.

What used to require a full round of collective output from the Phoenix Tail Flower Team to beat, now at Lin Da's current level 21, only needed one move.

This is the terrifying increase in an adventurer's strength upon crossing the level 20 threshold.

An overall increase of 200 in all attributes significantly enhanced Lin Da's dual defenses.

Now, his durability allowed him to withstand attacks from the Red Armored Crab King without needing the Verdant Shield!

It's worth mentioning that while adventurers output dreadfully high damage against demon creatures, they cannot inflict such high damage in internal conflicts.

Whether they are demon adventurers or adventurers from Mystic Continent, fundamentally their abilities are operated through a magic circuit that transforms into skills.

And the power of their life barriers also stems from the same core, resulting in a considerable reduction in skill effectiveness when similar energies collide.

Lin Da's Poison Dragon's Roar, able to deal 30,000 damage to a Black Shell Crab General, is regarded as monstrous, but it wouldn't be nearly as much against another adventurer.

Post-transition in the game, there evolved a rule that 'attack and defense originate from the same source, hence damage is reduced.'

Otherwise, with everyone's frailty, many star-ranked adventurers wouldn't even have 30,000 health points...

That said, with Lin Da's current damage output, it was enough to threaten star-ranked adventurers.

After acquiring 'Poison Dragon's Roar', he cast his gaze onto the recovery series skill tree.

There lay a gleaming golden fruit.

The fruit displayed a skill icon.

Above it was a sage with a white beard, facing Lin Da, holding a long sword vertically in front of him.

The sage's eyes were closed, and behind him spread wings of light.

In the background, the light transformed into feathers fluttering across the sky.

A crowd of devotees held up their hands in frenzy.

They were all enveloped in golden light shields.

Lin Da raised an eyebrow; such a cool icon suggested this ultimate skill might be incredibly powerful, possibly even stronger than Poison Dragon's Roar!

Without a second thought, he clicked to learn the skill.

[You have learned the skill: Guardian Sword!]

[Skill Name: Guardian Sword]

[Quality: Orange Rare]

[Type: Ultimate Skill]

[Consumption: High]

[Proficiency: lv1 Beginner]

[Effect: Conjures the Guardian Sword with magic power to attack a small area target, causing 'Considerable' damage, and provides a Guard Shield equal to 50% of your maximum health to allied units within range (currently up to 3 people)]

At first glance, the damage doesn't seem high, unlike Poison Dragon's Roar which can stack ten layers of Dragon's Sorrow.

Among the ultimate skills of various classes, this one, solely in terms of damage, is mediocre.

But its strength lies in its auxiliary effect.

Lin Da quickly analyzed the truly potent aspect of this skill.

The accompanying Guardian Shield could layer on top of the Verdant Shield.

Facing increasingly fierce higher-level demon creatures, a single Verdant Shield was not enough to effectively soften the pressure on the back-row.

Like Monica, a fragile caster, even with the Verdant Shield, could be slapped in the face by an epic-level demon creature and taken away by a double hit.

Other mages were the same.

They didn't have substantially more health points than Monica.

In the game, how to ensure the survival of the back-row so that they could continue dealing damage to creatures was a significant challenge for players.

But now, Lin Da had the Guardian Sword, which, while causing area damage, also provided his teammates with an additional shield.

The initial thickness of the Guardian Shield was formidable, reaching 50% of Lin Da's maximum health.

In comparison, the Verdant Shield, leveled to lv4, only amounted to 45% of the maximum health.

Lin Da could fully believe that once the Guardian Sword is fully leveled, the shield thickness could reach an astonishing 100%.

At the moment, he still had three skill points left and one golden skill point.

Lin Da gritted his teeth and clicked on the Guardian Sword.

[Would you like to spend 2 skill points to increase the proficiency of Guardian Sword to lv2?]

Two skill points?

A big question mark appeared in Lin Da's mind.

The system assistant textually responded: [The comprehension difficulty of ultimate skills is higher than ordinary skills; it requires 2 skill points for advancement]

"Too expensive, better save the skill points,"

Lin Da thought to himself.

While ultimate skills are strong, his minor skills, once their proficiency is elevated, are also not weak.

Like the Dark Whip, this become his most frequently used skill.

It could attack, assist, and even be used to save people.

It can be considered as a 'Demon Binding Rope'.

The most important thing was that upgrading minor skills only required 1 skill point.

"These three, I'll keep for now, and add points when needed."

Besides learning two new ultimate skills, Lin Da's personal attribute panel had also undergone a complete transformation.

Name: Lin Da

Level: 21

Occupation: Chosen Healing Hero

Hit Points: 7900 (6900+1000)

Magic Power: 1235(705+530)

Strength: 1235

Defense: 319(299+20)

Magic Defense: 387(367+20)

Agility: 330(300+30)

Resistance: Poison Resistance 30%

Experience Points: 115782/130000

Skill Points remaining: 3 regular, 1 golden

Mystical Points: 124867

Diamonds: 213320

...

Upon reaching level 20, Lin Da's several basic attributes had all been increased by 200 points.

Among them, dual defense was the most valuable.

These defenses, when facing the high multiplier attacks of adventurers, combined with a Life Barrier, could effectively block damage.

Now that Lin Da was using the Verdant Shield + Guardian Sword, he could even withstand attacks from Star-ranked adventurers for a while!

In terms of dual attack, it broke a thousand, reaching 1235.

For a support class occupation, this number was quite exaggerated.

As far as Lin Da knew, Healers at his same level would only have about 700 Magic Power.

Which meant, he was nearly twice as high.

This was still with him wearing level 10 equipment, without having upgraded them.

Lin Da had 1.2 million gold in savings; completely buying level 20 equipment for replacements, plus the Murderous Crab series equipment being forged at the Blacksmith Shop...

Once he updated, his panel would reach an extremely terrifying level.

Lin Da casually opened the team panel and checked Monica and Lulu's current personal basic attributes.

Monica's basic Magic Power: 901 points.

Lulu's basic Strength: 998 points.

These were their basic numbers without wearing Magical Equipment.

Through Lin Da's dream-inducing guidance, in addition to Lulu and other team members' already significant talents, just speaking of output on the panel, it surpassed his.

The positioning of Lin Da's occupation was not as an output role.

Even as he stood at the front looking like a Berserker, in essence, he still belonged in the support category at the back.

Staying in the back to heal his teammates and shield them was his appropriate role.

'Monica's basic Magic Power is indeed high; Lulu is at level 27 and barely 100 points higher than her,' Lin Da thought.

Considering Lulu's talent skill 'Berserk,' the lower her health, the higher the damage, in terms of burst damage per second, Lulu was far above Monica.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, in terms of burst capabilities, both Lin Da and Lulu did not match Monica.

Especially since Monica had mastered an ultimate skill with a very high multiplier, 'Rockfall.'

It could instantly kill the Black Shell Crab General.

Lin Da closed the system and, smiling, shared his ultimate skills with his teammates.

"Poison Dragon's Roar?"

"Guardian Sword?"

Kafni and Monica each mentioned the name of an ultimate skill.

If it were a stranger, they would probably envy Lin Da for not only mastering powerful ultimate skills but having two...

But in the Phoenix Tail Flower, Lin Da was their team leader.

The team leader and members were one entity; an individual's strength was the team's strength.

"Team leader, you're amazing!" Monica's eyes were filled with admiring stars, completely becoming a fan of Lin Da.

Kafni snorted, "As the adventure team leader dedicated to the demon extermination, such a level of improvement is to be expected; I won't allow you to become complacent!"

Actually, Kafni was a bit upset inside; she thought that with her 'Super Theft,' she would become a core of the team, but the major core was still Lin Da.

The effect of the Guardian Sword was extremely powerful.

Kafni, a rogue occupation with a relatively frail body, could now confidently go to the front of magical creatures to perform Super Theft with Lin Da's Guardian Sword.

"Everything that needed to be done has been done; let's leave the Mystic Realm."

Lin Da glanced at the spot where the flesh worm had disappeared.

It hadn't burst out any equipment. Its energy was probably already squeezed dry by Lin Da.

In the space ring, lay 20 demon cores wished for, plus [Earth Dragon's Dragon Skin].

With it, Lin Da could craft the Epic-level armor, [Magic Dragon Soft Armor].

This was the first time Lin Da had gotten his hands on Epic-level equipment since coming to this world, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

He was level 21 now and was still wearing level 10 [Metal Slime Chainmail]; he had wanted to upgrade for a long time.

The Magic Dragon Soft Armor, once crafted, would be around level 20.

Being crafted from the defense-oriented Earth Dragon's dragon skin, the added defense and health points would definitely not be low.

This would further strengthen Lin Da's 'Verdant Shield' and 'Guardian Sword.'

With these enhancements, regular magical creatures would no longer pose a threat to Phoenix Tail Flower Team before the tenth floor.

Lin Da and his team took out the World Tree leaf and silently commanded to return.
