After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 527: 397, Lin Da strikes, severely injuring [Power King] Slo
 

Lin Da’s magic circuit operated manically, and the black flames exploded beneath his feet, transforming into a strong kinetic force that propelled him forward like an arrow.

As Slo was delivering his pre-battle declaration, Lin Da had already closed in.

With a sweep of his sword towards his opponent’s neck, and with the enhancement of Twin Mana, Slo’s outer layer of fire armor shattered like tofu, not even lasting half a second before it burst apart.

Although Slo was quick to react, using his battle axe to block Lin Da’s strike, the immense force still sent Slo flying.

The six-foot-five giant staggered backward seven or eight steps, the battle axe trembling in his numbed right hand.

Staring at his shattered fire armor, Slo’s face was filled with disbelief!

What kind of power is this!

While facing Isa and Lia, Slo still felt in control, confident of his victory.

But facing Lin Da, an unprecedented pressure enveloped Slo’s heart.

From a simple exchange, Slo could definitively say that Lin Da’s combat strength was truly of a Nine-star Rating, with not a drop of exaggeration.

Everyone had been deceived by Lin Da’s performance in the exhibition match; the intelligence was fake!

“Very good! A Nine Star of this caliber is worth defeating. Defeating you will surely make me a Nine Star Adventurer,” Slo laughed maniacally.

Immediately after, like a whale taking in water, Slo took a deep breath.

His already enormous body grew even bulkier, his black adventurer’s combat clothes splitting with a hiss, revealing a granite-like, robust physique.

Veins bulged all over his body, converging into a tattoo that formed a snarling black bear on his chest!

“Chaotic Dance!”

Slo’s body turned into an unstoppable battle chariot, with fiery red Battle Qi raging all about. In the blink of an eye, he charged in front of Lin Da. With a forceful stomp, the ground collapsed with a boom, all his power and Battle Qi concentrated in his arms as he brought the axe down toward Lin Da with overwhelming force!

The momentum displayed by Slo at that moment far surpassed anything before, and everyone at the scene was shaken by his imposing aura. The outcome of Slo’s battle with Lin Da could very well change the tide of the battlefield!

“Without any defense, you charge straight at me? Good, I’ve been wanting to find a big fool to test my own strength,” Lin Da said.

Faced with the battle axe larger than a man himself, Lin Da seemed undisturbed as he raised his Earth Dragon Longsword and struck at Slo.

The moment the longsword touched Slo’s Life Barrier, the Black Flame erupted violently.

As the Black Flame detached, losing Lin Da’s restraint, the inherent Poison Series and Recovery Series magic power within immediately conflicted, triggering a violent explosion.

Slo’s Life Barrier on his skin violently fluctuated for a moment, and he let out a muffled grunt as a trace of fresh blood trickled from his nose.

Immediately after, Slo felt a chilling sensation on the right side of his head as a large black ear soared into the air amidst a splash of blood.

With acute pain in his right ear, Slo was both shocked and angry. His Thick Skin talent provided him with substantial defensive power, and a normal Star Rank would at best scratch and draw blood, but it was impossible to inflict such great damage on him!

Blood dripped from Slo’s right ear, and his expression grew even more ferocious: “Die!”

The battle axe landed firmly on Lin Da’s head.

Clang—

Expecting to see the gruesome scene of Lin Da being split in half, Slo was instead met with a sudden burst at the base of his palms, as if his battle axe had struck extremely sturdy steel, with the intense rebound force entering his body like an electric current, shocking his vitals.

A sweetness rose in Slo’s throat as he felt the surge of fresh blood!

Looking intently, he was shocked to see that Lin Da was enveloped in a greenish light shield. His Chaotic Dance had only succeeded in shattering the light shield.

Lin Da below, far from being injured, hadn’t even had his hair disturbed!

“Is that all?” Lin Da said.

Lin Da sneered as his longsword swung again.

Pfft!

Slo’s remaining left ear fell off, and both cheeks were a bright red.

His expression was one of stunned bewilderment, as if he had not expected his vaunted defensive power to be as flimsy as paper before Lin Da. Whenever Lin Da’s sword struck, it was inevitable that it would not be blocked, and the lightest consequence would be a deep, bloody gash.

After chopping with his longsword, Lin Da followed up with a direct kick, landing precisely between Slo’s legs.

The Black Flame under his foot was like a mini time bomb that, once out of Lin Da’s control, exploded immediately.

Under the ferocious magical power, Slo was turned into a heavy artillery shell, flying backward more than twenty meters and crashing into the rear ranks of Red Heart City.

There was a burst of chaos and frantic cries.

Many adventurers from Red Heart City were struck dizzy.

“Ahhh!”

Slo let out a pained growl, clutching his groin, his face ashen as paper and beads of sweat the size of soybeans forming on his forehead.

The mushy sensation in his hand sent a chill down his spine.

In just a few seconds, the battlefield that was filled with continuous war cries suddenly plunged into an eerie silence.

Looking at Slo, who was kneeling on the ground unable to get up, everyone was dumbfounded, even questioning if there was something wrong with their eyes.

Why was that monster-like Slo as fragile as a shrimp in Lin Da’s hands? Was Lin Da’s strength too great? So different from the exhibition match at White Dove City a week ago—it was like comparing two different people!

On closer inspection, the biggest change in Lin Da was that strange Black Flame.

A kind of magic power that was hitherto unseen by them, with an indescribable attribute.

At first glance, the Black Flame’s characteristic appeared to be “explosive,” providing Lin Da with a formidable magical strength when attached to him, turning into a mini alchemy bomb once detached.

In addition to Lin Da’s own attack power, the explosion of the Black Flame also caused secondary damage.

First granting Lin Da power, then harming the enemy, these characteristics…

“I got it, it’s a combination of the Recovery Series and Poison Series!”

On the 17th floor of the Viewing Tower, a lightbulb went off in Wez’s mind. His eyes, filled with a touch of jealousy, turned towards Lin Da and he said,

“Even Lin Da himself can’t fully control this power. The Black Flame harms him while attacking the enemy. But clearly, the damage it does to the enemy is much greater than the harm it causes to himself!”

As a fellow adventurer of the Poison Series, Wez knew well that the biggest weakness of this attribute was its lack of burst power. It was quite possible to be overwhelmed by the enemy’s storm-like barrage of attacks before dealing fatal damage.

But the combination of Lin Da’s poison and recovery neatly made up for that flaw.

Using the merged Black Flame magic power, Lin Da’s strength was significantly enhanced.

A hint of wariness flickered in Wez’s eyes, knowing that once Lin Da joined the Ice Abyss Training Camp, he would be a formidable enemy.

Even the tough-talking Rudy was at a loss for words at this moment.

Seeing his sister Sterry’s curious starry eyes, a sense of alarm surged within Rudy. He had seen in the promotional brochure that Lin Da had another title besides the “Eye of True Knowledge.”

What Rudy loved most was his sister unrelated by blood; if she fell prey to Lin Da’s chaotic party, Rudy would feel like murdering someone!

And now, it seemed, trouble was brewing, as Sterry was very curious about Lin Da’s Black Flame.

Curiosity is the beginning of an adventurer woman’s downfall!
