After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 530: 399, Magic Heart Slash, Lin Da’s twenty-meter Great Sword_2
 

Lin Da’s Verdant Shield had shattered under Slo’s Rare Technique, leaving him in an “unprotected” state; being struck by Slo’s Ultimate Skill would certainly result in severe injury, if not death!

In the outside viewers’ building, everyone thought the battle was a foregone conclusion and were animatedly discussing it with excitement.

Slo’s sudden move silenced the entire viewers’ building of over a hundred thousand people.

Shock filled the widened eyes of everyone watching.

How could there be a madman who dared to use his Ultimate Skill on another adventurer during a live broadcast?

The empire might encourage fighting, but using an Ultimate Skill outside of a life-or-death battle was tantamount to trampling on imperial law!

“Sigh.”

Wez frowned and let out a regretful sigh.

He and Lin Da were both Nine-star Rated adventurers with the Poisonous Attribute, and it was natural for them to feel a certain kinship.

Cangqing Province didn’t produce more than twenty Nine Star adventurers a year. Now, one less, Wez couldn’t help but feel as sorrowful as a rabbit grieves for a dead fox. Unexpected turns were part of an adventurer’s life, and even those with promising futures as Nine Star adventurers could accidentally die at the hands of a Slime.

Over a hundred thousand spectators in the viewing building, upon seeing that fiery red great axe fall on the screen, felt their hearts leap to their throats.

“Going to die?”

The wind on the plains carried a hint of coolness, and Aiko’s smile froze on her face.

Her right hand extended, frozen in the act of offering Lin Da a handkerchief.

The giant axe’s shadow loomed in mid-air, its massive blade casting a shadow over her and Lin Da.

As if it were a life-flashing-before-your-eyes moment, Aiko suddenly felt like time had slowed. She could clearly see Lia and the others rushing over, anxiety written on their faces.

Was Lia worried about her, Lin Da, or both?

Aiko’s mind felt like a ball of yarn played with by a cat, a tangled mess. She closed her eyes, clenching her fists in regret.

In the end, she hadn’t been able to confess her true feelings to Lin Da, living her whole life as a knots girl. She’d never even experienced the joys of adulthood before facing death…

As a wretched person like her, she certainly wouldn’t ascend to heaven; the tongue-pulling demon in hell was waiting for her.

Looking back, she realized she had been lying her whole life. She never told Bervis she didn’t hate him, and fooled herself into seeing Lia as an annoying red-haired dwarf, Klrona as a brainless kid. Facing death, it was the presence of Lin Da, the one she claimed to dislike the most, and the others that she thought of.

It turned out that the clown’s nose had always been on her, never falling off.

“Focus Magic Power for defense!”

A sudden shout rang in her ears. Aiko’s heart stirred, and she opened her eyes in surprise, only to see Lin Da grabbing her shoulders, causing her head to crash into his chest.

In that moment, Aiko’s thoughts jammed. What was Lin Da doing? At a time like this, why was he still thinking about protecting her first?

A strange sensation she’d never experienced before arose, and in the moment of life and death, Aiko’s lips involuntarily curved up slightly. Her delicate arms wrapped around Lin Da’s waist, her head resting against his chest.

Then, the giant axe shadow fell.

Boom!

It was as if everyone’s ears had gone deaf as the heat wave hit them. People close by were blown away by the shockwave, rolling through the dirt several times over.

After the loud noise, the earth had a new trench.

It was ten meters long and one meter wide, with Fire Battle Qi burning within, turning it into a sea of flames.

Neither Lin Da nor Aiko could be seen within it.

The crowd could barely discern that right before Slo’s Ultimate Skill struck, Lin Da had turned to shield the Mage in the wheelchair with his back, braving Slo’s Ultimate Skill.

A bad premonition surfaced in everyone’s minds.

The commander of Red Heart City’s adventurers, Fry, was dumbfounded.

Staring at the trench, he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Launching a sneak attack with an Ultimate Skill was the most despicable act.

Today, there were over two hundred thousand people watching the adventuring live stream.

Slo’s action had just ruined Red Heart City’s reputation.

If Lin Da were to die, not only would Slo pay with his life, but Red Heart City would also be questioned by the Royal Capital due to public opinion, and all adventurers would see at least a drop in their benefits and welfare.

Fry cursed in his heart.

Meanwhile, at White Dove City, Lulu and the others, ignoring the raging flames, rushed in to look for people.

“If Lin Da is dead, I will kill everyone in Red Heart City,” Lulu’s azure eyes turned pitch black.

Once Lulu tapped into the Witch’s power, she could slaughter not just the adventurers present from Red Heart City, but also Slo’s Tyrannosaurus Adventure Team, with certainty.

But at that moment, Slo was lost in excitement, oblivious to everything else.

“Haha, I won, I won! I killed Lin Da; I am a Nine Star Adventurer!”

Slo laughed hysterically at the sky.

His face was bloody, and broken teeth fell out with his laughter, a mad sight to see.

Even his teammates backed away in terror.

Bang!

Suddenly, a brown beam of light shot over.

Though Slo was severely injured, his battle instinct remained intact; he dodged to the side and squinted towards what was in front of him.

There stood a brown-haired little girl, eyes filled with angry tears.

“Die!” Monica pointed her magic wand at Slo, chanting the ultimate skill, Falling Rock Technique.

As for the consequences, Monica had long since cast them out of her mind, her eyes only filled with hatred.

“No, Monica!”

Klrona was quick, spreading her little hands to shield Monica and said, “You’ll get taken away like this! Lin Da will be fine, he promised to look through all my albums!”

“Wuu, but, but…” Monica cried.

As Klrona comforted Monica, a sudden cold breeze blew by.

For some unknown reason, the flames burning in the ravine changed color as if ink-stained, turning black from the bottom up.

The temperature on the plain dropped rapidly; even Klrona, at level 31, felt a chill and shivered.

She was relatively far from that patch of black fire and yet she felt it so.

Nearby, Slo and the adventurers from Red Heart City were all so cold that their faces turned pale white, and their bodies shivered uncontrollably when they looked at that surging black flame.

A tall, black-haired adventurer walked slowly out of the fiery blaze.

The terrifying black flames did not harm him in the slightest; they automatically parted to each side, like soldiers kneeling before their king.

As this person stepped out, the black flame turned into a cloak that clung to his back.

The adventurer raised his sword towards the sky.

A black light, the size of a soybean, flickered within the blade; after three breaths, a rolling black flame burst forth and shot towards the heavens.

And it absorbed the black fire behind the man as well.

The black flames intertwined and overlapped,

solidifying into the phantom of a sword twenty meters long.

Looking up at the sword that was taller than a seven-story building, everyone felt breathless; a terrifying magic power gathered in that sword, and just looking at it made their eyes sting.

Facing this move, even the hardiest Heavy Armored Warrior had no confidence in withstanding it.

Under the giant sword, Slo was transfixed like a wooden chicken.

Fear deprived him of the strength to run; his body trembled like a sieve.

Slo remembered the Crimson Baron’s assessment, “No one below Moon Rank can withstand it.”

That assessment wasn’t meant for him.

It was referring to Lin Da.

The person who emerged from the black flames was none other than Lin Da.

Behind him, Lia and the others were helping Aiko, who was also safe and sound.

Impossible!

The same thought popped into everyone’s mind.

How could anyone survive a head-on hit from an ultimate skill unscathed?

As the name implies, an ultimate skill is a move used for killing.

If an adventurer of the same level gets hit by an opponent’s ultimate skill, except for a Heavy Armored Warrior, they would either die or be severely maimed.

Even a Heavy Armored Warrior would be in a sorry state after receiving an ultimate skill.

But Lin Da, in the eyes of everyone present, only had a new cut on his back and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

He was mostly unharmed.

One couldn’t help but wonder, just how thick was Lin Da’s Life Barrier?

This was not the defense capability of a support class.

The people of White Dove City knew Lin Da was tough, but their impression was fixed during the time of the Monster Tide.

As for the present Lin Da, everyone could only guess.

After walking out of the flames, Lin Da had used a move that no one had ever seen or heard of.

The pitch-black flames all concentrated on Lin Da’s sword, forming a twenty-meter-long black flame sword blade.

Merely looking at it, people like Fry felt an icy chill in their bones, their legs involuntarily wanting to run away.

Facing this move from Lin Da, death was certain, even for a Heavy Armored Warrior!
