I love time travel the most!

Xiaolin's eyes lit up.

Asifi's equipment was very novel, and it was no wonder that Kobayashi, who loved equipment, was attracted to it.

But we are in the middle of a battle!

"Mr. Kobayashi! It's understandable that Asifi's figure is attractive, but please focus on the battle. We can't hold on any longer!"

Lulune screamed in panic.

The dog-woman, attacked by countless tentacles, was running back and forth in the passage in a very disheveled state. If she were caught by accident, there would definitely be a very eye-catching special play. A dark thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Let's just ignore her.

Despite saying that, since Asphie had asked him to do it, Kobayashi naturally wouldn't let the Hermes Familia members get hurt.

"Let me state upfront that I'm looking at the equipment, not Miss Asphie."

"I know, I know, so please save me quickly!"

Faced with Lulune's insincere apology, Kobayashi closed his eyes and used [Five Visions Omnipotence] to take control of the situation.

From his vantage point, he is the most outstanding commander.

“Lulune, take three steps back.”

"Roger that!"

Lulune immediately stepped back.

As soon as she left the spot, a man-eating flower with its gaping maw burst out from the floor. The huge flower stem scraped against the dog-woman's clothes, causing her to involuntarily fall to the ground.

"Mr. Kobayashi! You did this on purpose!"

"It's a misunderstanding. I didn't realize your legs were so short, Lulune. I'll be more careful about that next time."

"Don't bully me now!"

The dog-woman loudly condemned Kobayashi's despicable act of using his position to settle personal scores.

Kobayashi ignored her and kept shouting, "Falgar, watch out for your left rear! Sean, roll forward! Melly, crouch down!"

"Received!" X3

With clear command and absolute trust in Kobayashi, the group skillfully maneuvered through the narrow passage while efficiently defeating the giant carnivorous plant, much like a well-organized army without any mishaps.

Although there are many monsters here, they don't cause any trouble and just give them experience and magic stones for nothing.

As Asphie closed the distance with the masked man, she drew her short sword.

He pounced on him even faster, aiming to stab him to death with one blow.

Just as she was within five steps of him, countless green spears shot out from the ground. Seeing that the row of spears was about to pierce through Asfi, her boots suddenly lit up, and she jumped to the side at a right angle, changing direction to avoid the surprise attack.

After forcing Asphie back, the masked man summoned several more carnivorous plants to surround him.

These monsters, which seemed to have been lurking underground, stood in front of Asifi like an ambush.

"Not bad, adventurer... no, [the all-rounder]."

"Um?!"

Asphi was quite taken aback when the enemy called out her by her title.

"But we need to take down that man first. The monsters are being eliminated one after another, and that's all thanks to him."

The masked man's deep voice made her uncomfortable. When she noticed his gaze on Xiaolin, she immediately tried to pull away, but the masked man was faster!

As if slipping on water, he bent down and appeared behind Kobayashi in the blink of an eye.

During the battle, he discovered that this was the person who had been directing these people's actions. Just when they were about to be wiped out by the chaotic situation, he managed to stop them.

If we just kill this person...!

"Xiao Lin!"

"Mr. Xiaolin!"

"Watch out, Kobayashi!"

With his eyes closed, Kobayashi continued to direct the Hermes Familia members, seemingly oblivious to the impending crisis, as if what was about to happen was already predictable.

"Successful!"

The man revealed a sinister smile.

however--

"Hey, are you treating me like a nobody?"

"what?!"

Kobayashi reached out and blocked the masked man's attack, a nonchalant gesture that took him by surprise.

"Oh dear!" Lulune slapped her forehead and complained, "I forgot that Mr. Kobayashi is actually quite strong too."

"Don't mention it, I've forgotten too."

"Actually, so am I."

"Me too."

The Hermes Familia members all awkwardly echoed this.

Kobayashi's support skills were so outstanding that they completely forgot that this man had once danced with the Sword Princess among the monster army.

When the masked man realized his sneak attack had failed, he tried to pull away, but Kobayashi's grip was so strong that he couldn't be pulled away at all.

"Tsk!"

He clicked his tongue loudly, then stepped forward, grabbed Kobayashi by the collar, and tried to throw him to the ground with a back throw.

The masked man's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Level 5, and Kobayashi was unable to maintain his balance. However, during the forward fall, he took the opportunity to use the silk threads to bind the masked man's hands, and with the help of this immense force, he tore off both of the enemy's arms in one fell swoop.

"Varied……!"

"Disgusting!"

"what happened?!"

Lulune and the others were overjoyed to see Kobayashi severely injure the enemy, but before they could celebrate loudly, they saw that two more arms were growing from the broken arm of the masked man, covered in green, and the passage that had been blown up earlier was healing as quickly as it had!

"Hehe...hehehe...ahahahahahaha!!!"

The masked man burst into laughter.

The smug, unrestrained, and arrogant laughter was extremely grating, piercing through everyone's psychological defenses like a sharp awl.

With its immense power, ability to summon monsters, and super-fast healing ability, this formidable enemy is completely unstoppable!

"Humph!"

Asifi gave a soft snort and, taking advantage of the masked man's inattention, plunged her short sword into his neck.

This is the weakest of weaknesses.

Once stabbed, the consequences range from severe injury and prolonged survival to immediate death and ascension to heaven.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the masked man turned around, grabbed Asifi by the neck, and slowly pulled out the short sword that had pierced her neck. As the short sword was removed, the wound gradually healed.

Someone's lips trembled as they murmured in terror, "A monster!"

Do not!

It's not a monster, it's a demon!

The man removed his mask and pulled off his cloak, revealing a pale face and a lean body, with a green crystal embedded in the center of his chest.

Xiaolin didn't recognize him, but she recognized the crystal on his chest.

That's a magic stone!

A special magic stone, just like the giant carnivorous plant!

The stranger easily lifted Asifi's body, her pure white cloak and clothes stained with bright red, making her look like a saint nailed to a cross.

Even in this situation, it remains tragically beautiful.

The remaining bright red blood formed a puddle on the ground.

Level 4 adventurers are tough and resilient, but even they can't withstand such wild blood loss.

If this continues, she will surely die.

Asphie struggled, her face contorted in pain, trying to shake off his hand. The man's eyes flashed with malice, as if he wanted to crush the woman's warm neck in one swift motion.

Sudden--

Just as he was about to exert force, the man discovered that his hands were out of his control.

No, it's because it's been cut off, that's why it's out of control!

With a look of astonishment on the man's face, Kobayashi caught Asif, who was about to fall, and said to him in a relaxed manner, "Hey, hey, don't forget about me."

"You guy..."

The man whose face was revealed looked extremely ferocious.

Kobayashi has repeatedly disrupted his plans, and he is furious!

"I will absolutely, absolutely use you as fertilizer!"

"If you have the ability, then give it a try."

They responded to the enemy's taunts with sarcasm, and their resounding counterattack gave Lulune and the others a glimmer of hope.

Kobayashi confronts the man.

Both sides revealed a look in their eyes that seemed intent on killing each other.

Chapter 245 Don't Easily Claim Invincibility

"Asphie!"

Lulune took the captain from Kobayashi's arms and roughly sprinkled high-grade elixirs and panaceas on her.

The beautiful woman, soaked in the medicine, slowly opened her eyes and pushed away the tearful Lulune as if she were annoyed by the trouble.
