After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 442: 342, 1 vs 50, don’t come over here!_2
 

“Lord Hulus is mighty!”

“Praise to Lord Hulus!”

“Those who defy His Majesty the Demon King’s will shall surely receive death!”

The heretics found their backbone, flocking to Hulus’s side.

Lin Da frowned.

He hadn’t seen the old man in a month, and there were significant changes.

First was his appearance.

Hulus was skin and bones, with deep-set eyes and a row of ribs jutting out beneath his robe, each topped with a hairy spider leg.

They trembled slightly with Hulus’s breath.

The Level Aura emanating from his rival was also much stronger than when they had met in the Dragon Forest, at least level 37.

Lin Da’s primary mission was to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

He made no rash moves, instead casting a Verdant Shield on himself. Standing about ten meters away on the platform, with his hands on his sword, he watched Hulus warily.

“Ho ho, Lin Da, are you sweating buckets yet?

This is the power of the Magic Potion.

Refining the blood of the Fallen Witch, combined with carefully formulated Dragon Blood.

In comparison, what are these minor physical transformations?”

Hulus caressed the spider legs on his stomach affectionately, as if a beastman was stroking an elven lady’s black silk stocking.

He raised his head to look at Monica, hanging in a cage in midair, and cackled:

“Little Monica, watch closely as your captain dies before your eyes! Remember, it’s all because of you!”

Lin Da’s expression changed and he said, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, just hold on; your captain will bring you home in a moment! Lulu and the others have prepared the meals, waiting for you to return!”

“But, but Monica is a useless team member,” Monica whispered.

During the past month, Hulus had continuously ingrained into her the notion that she was the most useless member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, only holding Lin Da back.

It would be better for her to stay at Dragon’s Rest Tomb and undergo the experiments.

And now, it was she who had caused Lin Da to come to her rescue, only to be trapped by Hulus…

“Dammit!”

Seeing Monica trembling more violently in the cage, Lin Da gritted his teeth, leaped into the air, and lashed out with the Dark Whip, targeting the chains that suspended the cage.

Boom!

The Dark Whip was shattered by a black spear, vanishing into thin air.

Hulus sneered, lifting his magic wand: “Dare to snatch my experimental subject, who do you think you are? Followers, attack him!”

The forty or so heretics, albeit reluctantly, charged at Lin Da.

Leading them were three Heavy Armored Warriors brandishing massive shields, followed by lines of Spearmen and Swordsmen, with two Mages and a Healer in the back.

Those eight were of Star Rank; the rest of the heretics were all around level 20.

They surrounded Lin Da, shrinking his dodging space.

“Form Shield Wall!”

The three Heavy Armored Warriors roared in unison.

Their shields were black, engraved with castle patterns.

The bulky figures slammed their shields to the ground, and instantly, a phantom fortress appeared, barring Lin Da’s path.

Without taking down these three Heavy Armored Warriors, Lin Da would struggle to reach the heretics’ back line.

Hulus and other Mages seized the opportunity to chant spells.

Wind Blades, Fireballs, along with Skeleton Soldiers summoned by Hulus, came one after another.

To deal with Lin Da, a 33-level Healing Mage, Hulus hesitated not a moment to use overwhelming force.

“Hee hee!

I will torture this Lin Da bit by bit.

Monica, just listen carefully to Lin Da’s screams, watch how he dies!”

Hulus waved his black gem-encrusted magic wand, creating an array inside the cage, from which a skeleton with deep blue flames in its eye sockets emerged.

It forced Monica’s face against the bars of the cage.

Forcing Monica to keep her eyes wide open, she had to watch Lin Da surrounded by danger.

“Wu wu wu, don’t, don’t…” Monica cried out.

The sound of the girl’s crying delighted Hulus immensely; he pulled out a flat magic device he carried with him, its screen displaying a mountainous magic power fluctuation chart.

The peak far exceeded the norm.

Change, damn it, change!

Hulus, frantic, looked closely at Monica’s form, which still retained a human shape, showing no signs of demonization.

This meant the stimulus was still not intense enough!

“Listen, don’t kill that Lin Da in one hit, torture him for me!” Hulus ordered.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The cacophony of swords clashing against shields at the front lines was incessant.

Lin Da’s face was icy, his magic power surging recklessly, launching one attack after another against the shield wall formed by the three Heavy Armored Warriors.

With every attack, it was as if a gargantuan beast shook the earth, and even from behind their giant shields, the three warriors were battered by Lin Da to the point of bleeding from their mouths.

“What kind of monster is this! Is he really only level 33?”

“Hold on, hold on… No, we can’t hold on much longer!”

“Damn it, where’s the Healing Art, hurry up!”

Pauli, the black Heavy Armored Warrior with dreadlocks, led the three, all of whom were in agony.

They were, on average, level 31, which theoretically shouldn’t have been much different from Lin Da.

But in combat, it was like “three infants fighting against Behemoth,” with their hands clutching the shields going numb from Lin Da’s vibrations.

Ssss~ Ssss!

At that moment, an irritating corroding noise was heard.

Pauli looked closely and was scared out of his wits! His thick shield had been corroded by Lin Da’s Poison Technique, leaving a hole the size of a fist!

But that wasn’t all.

“Toxic Purple Mist.”@@novelbin@@

With a toss of his left hand, Lin Da unleashed his new skill.

As the purple mist covered the entire area, the poison irritated the respiratory tract, causing Pauli and the others to feel excruciating pain in their throats, as if slashed by blades.

Their complexions turned from white to green, then from green to purple.

In Lin Da’s view, a bunch of -800s popped up continuously, never stopping.

“It’s poison, this guy’s poisonous!”

“Run, if we don’t escape we’ll be poisoned to death!”

“I need Antidote Herb, Antidote Herb!”

The Heretics around level 20 were all poisoned so severely they threw away their helmets and armor, howling like ghosts and wolves as they ran to areas without the poison mist.

Pauli and the other Star Rankers had thicker Life Barriers and could hold out a bit longer.

“Healing Art!”

The Healer from Dragon’s Rest Tomb clenched his teeth and provided Healing Art to Pauli.

“Triple Wind Blade!”

“Great Fireball Technique!”

“Ice Pillar Technique!”

The Mages raised their Magic Wands, and three different-colored spells simultaneously assaulted Lin Da.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Wind Blades continually struck the Emerald Light Shield.

But other than making it slightly dimmer, the Lin Da inside remained unaffected.

With a calm face, he focused on chopping at the giant shield.

That extremely calm demeanor, with an unfathomable gaze, made him look like a wild beast spying on everyone through a door crack, which was horrifying.

If Lin Da breached the Shield Wall, it would be unimaginable.

Pauli swallowed with a gulp and yelled to bolster his own courage:

“Don’t be afraid, everyone, this Lin Da is at the end of his rope. With three of us Heavy Armored Warriors and Mages wearing him down, how much Magic Power can he have left? Victory is waving at us!”

The Fireballs and Ice Pillars kept smashing against Lin Da’s Verdant Shield.

A war of attrition was indeed disadvantageous for Lin Da.

Nearly fifty people were against him alone.

It seemed it was time to pull out some trump cards.

Lin Da took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and positioned his Earth Dragon Longsword for a thrust.

A faint Dragon’s Might emanated from him, spreading throughout the area.

“What’s, what’s happening?”

“This guy’s aura has changed!”

“Careful, it might be his Ultimate Skill!”

Perspiration formed on the foreheads of Pauli and the other two, pressing their bodies behind the giant shield.

Lin Da thought: [Green Dragon Warrior’s Cavities] is truly Epic Two-Star Equipment. The attached [Dragon Series Skills Enhancement] can increase the power of this move by 30%.

When using Dragon Series Skills, it came with a trace of the Giant Dragon’s oppression.

Everyone including Hulus felt a tightness in their chests, and the circulation of Magic Power and Battle Qi in their bodies slowed by half a beat.

They felt the Dragon’s Might coming from Lin Da???

“Forest Dragon’s Rage Fang!”

Lin Da silently uttered the words in his mind, and with a thrust of his sword, a green-colored Array appeared in the void.

The roar of a dragon echoed through the cave, and a Vine Dragon, intertwined with vines and hanging with many green leaves looking vividly real, burst out from the Array.

The Wooden Giant Dragon targeted the three Heavy Armored Warriors blocking Lin Da’s path.

“Ahhhh!”

Screams erupted one after another; Pauli and the other two Heavy Armored Warriors had already been severely beaten by Lin Da, and when the Forest Dragon’s Rage Fang appeared, it demolished them, smashing them into a bloody mess and breaking their giant shields in half.

The Vine Dragon did not cease its attack and opened its jaws wide towards the Swordsmen and Spearmen of the middle rows.

“Don’t come over, don’t come over here!” The Swordsman was a skinny man, staring with terrified eyes, screaming in panic.
