After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 509: 385, White Dove Defeated, 15th Floor of the Mystic Realm, Wilderness Guardian Descends!

A stir arose in the hall.

Star-ranked adventurers appeared in the Sparrow District, a rare sight much like the annual occasion when nobles, accompanied by journalists, distribute relief funds in the slum areas.

The crowd looked at Lin Da with either curiosity or awe.

Being able to watch the same live event as a Star-ranked adventurer was bragging capital every time they went to the tavern.

“Captain Lin Da, may I ask what you meant by Abner not being able to make a move?”

A male elf in worn clothing but with a gentle and cultured demeanor placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Lin Da.

...

The Sparrow District was just a place where adventurers were generally of lower quality, but there were a few high-quality players, like this elf.

The noisy voices in the hall immediately quieted down a bit.

Everyone wanted to hear Lin Da’s justification for Abner’s “cowardice.”

It didn’t matter if the lower-ranked adventurers couldn’t understand, but even Lia seemed puzzled… Lin Da sighed internally, cursing the game developers for setting Lia’s intelligence definitely below 100.

Lin Da pointed at the screen and said, “Pay attention, after the mages of the White Dove Adventure Group attack, don’t they stagger and show pain on their faces? Then, the Healer’s Healing Art falls upon them.”

“Isn’t this because of the environment in the Lava Cave?”

A man with a lumberjack beard at a table in the corner of the second floor spoke with a puzzled expression.

The Lava Cave, being an Extreme Flame environment, continuously damages all adventurers except those of the Fire Series.

“You’re right, there’s an environmental effect, but that’s not the key issue,”

Lin Da: “Every Healing Art from the Healer happens after the mages attack the Four-legged Flame Python. This means… this magical creature has the Reflective Damage trait!”

Reflective Damage, a rather uncommon ability among magical creatures, usually found in creatures with carapaces or of the rock type.

The crowd looked at the screen again and indeed, as Lin Da described, every time the mages’ spells hit the Four-legged Flame Python, pained expressions appeared on their faces.

The Four-legged Flame Python itself was already quite damaging, and it also had the Reflective Damage trait?

The questioning male elf, the bearded warrior, and all the adventurers in the hall showed looks of surprise.

Reflective Damage was generally a special ability added to magical creatures in the Mystic Realm trials to compensate for insufficient damage output.

But the Four-legged Flame Python’s output was clearly sufficient; Abner, a 37-level Solid Shield, could only grit his teeth and endure, together with the trait of Reflective Damage…

The damage from Reflective Damage directly affects the core in the spiritual world, equivalent to a direct hit to an adventurer’s secondary heart.

These adventurers, with an average level of only 5, looked at the sky-covering red python on the screen with changed expressions.

No wonder Abner had not made a move.

Mind’s Eye Abner was widely known for his powerful output, but this very trait, when facing the Four-legged Flame Python, was a thorough disadvantage.

Abner was high in agility and attack but had weak defensive power.

Acting recklessly would result in the Four-legged Flame Python being injured and Abner himself being killed on the spot!

Lin Da watched for a while longer, then slowly said, “If I’m not wrong, Abner is using the mages’ inflicted damage on the Four-legged Flame Python to estimate the approximate ratio of Reflective Damage.

Abner is the main actor in this conquest, and he’d better maintain his prime condition before facing the Flame Giant, trying not to waste any Battle Qi.”

Trial stages listed in ‘Advanced Secret Realm Knowledge’ include 10 small stages, with 3 appearing randomly each time.

Only by breaking through all three stages can one face the final boss, the Epic Five-star Tier 40 magical creature, the Flame Giant!

Abner was under great pressure.

The difficulty of defeating the Four-legged Flame Python wasn’t high, but it was particularly disadvantageous against the glass-cannon oriented White Dove Adventure Group.

For them, this stage ranked among the top three difficulties out of the ten stages!”

Lin Da analyzed methodically,

Describing the advantages, challenges, and difficulties of this conquest thoroughly.

“So that’s it, even I, an adventurer who has never entered the World Tree, can understand, truly worthy of the Eye of True Knowledge.”

“Thank you for clearing my doubts!”

“Damn, so it was Reflective Damage, I didn’t notice at all…”

Murmurs of realization arose.

Meanwhile, Lia, hearing these praises, felt an inexplicable sense of pride and couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Lin Da. Lin Da was completely focused on the large screen, chin propped on his hand and brow slightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

This wasn’t the first time Lia saw Lin Da with this expression, but perhaps her attitude had changed, she began to think that Lin Da appeared quite handsome.

Noticing how many young female adventurers in the lobby looked at Lin Da with admiring eyes, Lia narrowed her eyes and, without a sound, exuded the aura of a Star-ranked adventurer.

The female adventurers were frightened and wondered what they had done to offend Lia as they bowed their heads, daring no longer to gaze towards the second floor.@@novelbin@@

The authority of a Star-ranked adventurer began to show its effectiveness, leaving Lia satisfied with a smile.

However, Lin Da’s attention remained on the large screen, unaware of Lia’s subtle actions.

“Thank you for answering, senior! In that case, doesn’t it mean that the White Dove Adventure Group is doomed to fail at this stage?” the bearded adventurer said wistfully.

“That won’t be the case,” Lin Da said, still intently watching the screen, “The White Dove Adventure Group has three Healers, and their Healing Art is surely sufficient. They can slowly whittle down the Four-legged Flame Python; the real challenge lies ahead.”
