Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Chapter 93 The Final Ritual of a Legendary Profession! (4k)

Inside a room at the Wild Boar Tavern.

Leo stood on the open ground, his breaths creating a powerful, turbulent flow of air around him, much like a high-powered press.

"call----"

After a long while, he let out a long breath, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

"The effects of this Sacred Heart Elixir are truly remarkable!"

After his conversation with the Lion Princess yesterday, the sudden "false fate" that had befallen Leo filled him with a sense of urgency.

Even if this wasn't primarily aimed at him.

But this unknown and terrifying thing, even if it's just an aftershock, could potentially lead him, a mere Black Iron rank cultivator, to his death without him even realizing it.

Therefore, he must become stronger as soon as possible!

So strong that their power is enough to forcefully break free from the "aftershocks of fate" that follow!

"Lion Princess, Miss Serenity—"

Leo muttered to himself.

This heir of the Golden Family was being targeted by such a terrifying being—his thoughts were in turmoil.

On the one hand, the Lion Princess truly had nothing but praise for him.

On the other hand, with his current strength, rashly intervening in this level of struggle would only result in his utter destruction.

"In the end, we were still too weak."

Leo glanced at the panel.

With the improvement of his basic attributes, he only needs to rest for about 4 hours a day to maintain his energy throughout the day.

Therefore, after preparing the Sacred Heart Potion last night, I have been practicing diligently until now, and the result is gratifying.

Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique Iv.5 (1000/16000)

Ten hours of hard practice can yield an average of 100 skill experience points per hour.

At this rate, if he were to cultivate with all his might, Leo could reach the expert level in this legendary breathing technique in less than ten days!

Proficiency is the threshold for entering a timeless profession.

However, it is clear that the higher the level of this breathing technique, the more advantageous it will be when taking up a position.

"The conditions are basically met. We can find an opportunity to borrow the Legacy Iron Sword from Miss Sylvia and explore the final ritual for becoming a legendary profession."

Leo took a deep breath.

He had already inquired with Guild Master Lucas and learned that Sylvia was currently stationed in Windmill Village to guard against a possible invasion by bronze-level monsters.

While hunting those two escaped bronze-level monsters, we can conveniently stop by their side.

Looking out the window at the sky, it was about 7 a.m. Leo didn't hesitate any longer. After resting for a while, he headed towards the guild.

As soon as he arrived at the guild's first floor, he saw the guild leader, Lucas, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Leo".

Lucas walked over and smiled, "Everything is arranged. The whereabouts of those two bronze-level monsters have been confirmed. Have you decided which bronze-level monster you want to accompany you?"

Leo blurted out, clearly having already considered it: "If possible, let Miss Sylvia come with me."

Compared to the two heroic adventurers from the capital, he was closer and more familiar with Sylvia, and they had fought side by side and cooperated more effectively.

Admittedly, the Lake Knight Andre and the Twilight Assassin Rachel, these two hero-level adventurers from the provincial capital, may be even stronger individually.

However, the two of them were not actually very compatible with him.

Andrei is a tank-type class with high defense and low attack, while Rachel is an assassin-type class with high attack and low defense.

If Leo himself is also at the Bronze rank, then Rachel would undoubtedly be the best teammate. He could draw the enemy's attention in front, allowing Rachel to launch a fatal attack.

The problem is that although Leo has the ability to resist and even kill bronze-level monsters by relying on the power of shadow, his own basic attributes are too low. If he were to take a hit from a bronze-level monster, he would hardly be able to withstand it.

And Sylvia is just the right fit.

As a rare class, the Moonlight Swordsman, she possesses considerable defensive capabilities, along with astonishing speed and attack power. She can serve as a front-line damage dealer as well as someone who can absorb some damage.

The fact that she has traveled alone through the Silvermoon Forest and ventured everywhere unscathed over the years is proof of this.

Crucially, the Wolf Beast Breathing Technique is related to the inheritance of a legendary profession, and he still wanted to avoid letting the two heroic adventurers from the provincial capital know about it.

He was judging others by his own petty standards; it's just that the fewer people who know about certain things, the better.

"Sylvia? That suits you well."

Cass nodded, not surprised: "Let's set off for Windmill Village. I'll take over Sylvia's post, and she'll go with you to defeat those two bronze-level monsters."

"At that time, there will be scouts to guide you there."

And so, the two set off immediately.

After some time, the two arrived at the windmill village.

Having received the message, the Azure Silver Sword Maiden was already standing at the village entrance waiting.

Upon seeing the Sword Maiden in the distance, a smile appeared on Leo's face.

The next moment.

He paused, and even the smile on his face became somewhat strained.

At this moment, the Destiny Dragon Scale pendant on his chest was radiating a burning heat, and this heat was no less intense than the heat he felt after his contact with the Lion Princess yesterday.

Sylvia has also fallen into a "false fate" —

Leo's heart was churning with uncontrollable emotions.

Unlike the Lion Princess, he had known and been in contact with Sylvia for a long time.

If the master of that false fate has already cast the threads of destiny he controls onto Sylvia, then haven't I, who have been in contact with her for so long, unknowingly fallen into the spiderweb of "false fate"?

If it weren't for the Dragon Scale Pendant of Destiny, he probably wouldn't have known anything until he was "fooled" to death.

Thinking hard!

"Leo?"

Lucas sensed Leo stop in his tracks and called out in confusion.

Leo came to his senses and let out a soft breath.

"Phew—I'm fine. I just thought of something."

Fear, worry, and anxiety—these negative emotions are utterly useless in solving problems.

After calming down, Leo quickly analyzed everything he had experienced since coming into this world.

From being rescued by the Goblin Slayers to killing the Dark Mutant Goblin Leader in Flowerstone Village, that was his first meeting with Sylvia.

Later, he came to Baihe Town, where he continued to show his talent in learning breathing techniques and was taught the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique by Sylvia.

Then came the rescue of the Goblin Slayers, who were trapped in the Blackrock Mountain mines. At the end of the rescue, Sylvia appeared and blocked the Goblin Lord's fatal blow for him.

Later, when the beast tide came, he removed the Dark Devour from Sylvia's body and fought alongside her to kill the lord-level individual—the Goblin Citybreaker.

Memories flashed through his mind, and Leo quickly analyzed: "My arrival was an 'accident,' an unpredictable accident by a false master of fate."

Leo was quite confident about the Primordial Mirror's status.

"In this way, we can be certain that the thread of fate of this false master of fate originally only intended to guide Sylvia to do something."

Based on this, we can make the following inference:

Without his arrival, the dark, mutated goblin leader would have killed everyone hidden in the central warehouse of Flowerstone Village, including the villagers and Little Eve with her special constitution.

Their deaths will become resources for the goblin leader to increase his strength and forge a deeper connection with the master of [Darkness].

Then, Sylvia, who will arrive later, will definitely attack this goblin leader, and the Dark Devourer lurking within it will very likely invade Sylvia's body at that time.

If this happens, the only bronze-level adventurer in Baihe Town will fall. At that time, the provincial capital will not be alerted, and the hero-level professionals sent will not arrive in time. The master of [Darkness] will directly unleash a beast tide, and the three sealed nodes of the entire Baihe Town will quickly fall.

In other words, Leo's appearance delayed what should have been a significant event.

After discovering the goblin with the Dark Mutation, Sylvia reported the anomaly, which led to the subsequent support from the provincial capital.

The false destiny was interrupted at this moment.

The false master of destiny was naturally unwilling to accept this, and thus the Black Rock Mountain Underground Monster Kingdom came into being.

This twist of fate, in its ultimate purpose, was still to plunge Sylvia into the Devouring Darkness.

This time, with even better preparation, it succeeded.

But in the end, it was still ruined by Leo.

The "Dark Devourer," which had been unstoppable for centuries, was forcibly eradicated by Leo.

The false master of fate, having failed once again, will certainly not give up easily.

When the web of false fate comes to a close again, what awaits him will be a meticulously prepared "deadly trap" that takes into account everything he currently possesses.

If you were in their shoes, and the master of this false destiny were to have your plans thwarted time and time again, you certainly wouldn't let the "culprit" go either.

Leo took a deep breath, his heart heavy.

He didn't know if his speculation was right, but he had prepared for the worst.

Having completed her handover, Sylvia and Leo left Windmill Village together, heading northwest.

The scout was at a marker three kilometers away.

As she walked, the Sword Maiden glanced at the young man beside her. The breeze in the forest ruffled her gray hair, which fluttered gently behind her ears, and her face was full of hesitant expressions.

Leo felt uncomfortable under her gaze and had no choice but to stop, looking at her helplessly: "Miss Sylvia, what's going on?"

He didn't intend to tell Sylvia about the false fate.

Because it was meaningless, he was also unable to explain the origin and authenticity of the Destiny Dragon Scale Pendant.

All he needs to do is become stronger, stronger, and stronger still.

When that web of false fate tightens once more, I possess the power to tear it apart!

The Silver Swordswoman stopped in her tracks: "Leo, you give me a different feeling. How so? Seeing you, I..."

It was like gazing upon an endless wilderness.

"Am I just imagining things?"

Leo was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized what was going on.

Compared to him, Sylvia had been exposed to the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique for a longer time. Furthermore, as the first inheritor to come into contact with it, she might possess some kind of quality that makes her more sensitive to the aura of the "wilderness."

This "wilderness" aura is essentially the subtle fluctuation that emanates from Leo after he has mastered the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique.

Ordinary people would not be able to detect it at all.

Only Sylvia could sense this subtle difference.

Seeing this, Leo stopped hiding his feelings and laughed, "It's not your imagination."

"Actually, I have already mastered the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique."

So that's how it is—no wonder—

The Sword Maiden nodded knowingly, but soon her expression froze completely.

"You're saying you've mastered the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique?!"

Leo nodded with a smile: "Yes."

"this----"

Sylvia stared at him in disbelief, her eyes glazed over.

How long has it been since I taught Leo the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique?

Less than a month!

But he accomplished something that even geniuses couldn't do for decades—

"I originally planned to talk to you after defeating these two bronze-tier monsters." Leo's gaze fell on the other weapon worn by Sylvia at her waist. "Since you've asked now, let me try to see if I can find out the final ritual of this inherited profession."

Sylvia instinctively reached for her waist and drew the Legacy Iron Sword.

Under her gaze, Leo's hand touched the heirloom iron sword.

At first, there was no particular reaction.

But as Leo's Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique, which he had mastered to an advanced level, began to operate...

This greatsword, which had been sealed away for countless years and whose appearance had become blurred, began to emit a faint light.

Initially, it was only the hilt of the sword that Leo touched with the greatsword.

It was like a spark that, in less than a breath, spread to every corner of the greatsword, from the hilt to the tip.

"roar!"

Faintly, Leo heard an indescribable dragon roar ringing in his ears.

His body stiffened uncontrollably, and even the flow of blood became sluggish.

One Dragon's Might!

The word came to mind for Leo.

The true might of the dragon cannot be ignored by a strong will; it acts on both the body and mind, causing a living being to become uncontrollably rigid and fearful.

But the next moment.

"Clang!"

It sounded like the drawing of a sharp blade, but it was heavy and somber.

Immediately following was the roar of the greatsword cutting through the air.

boom!

In an instant, the dragon's roar turned into a wail, and finally, it disappeared.

"Thump, thump—"

Leo felt his heart pounding wildly.

My vision gradually blurred.

In a daze, he saw this scene:

On that desolate wasteland filled with Gobi Desert and rocky mountains, beside a dragon corpse resembling a small mountain, sat a man with his upper body naked.

The old man, whose muscles were even more muscular than those of a young man, was drinking alcohol in large gulps.

Beside him, near the campfire, lay a tattered, dark red cloak and old armor.

At this moment, the old man paused.

He turned his head and looked at Leo. The next moment, a faint smile appeared on his serious face, which was etched with the marks of time.

"So you were a latecomer after all —"

"I will give you the key to unlock it."

"But please remember this."

"The wolf of the wilderness is born only to drink dragon's blood."

"This is a trial, and also a transformation."

"Perhaps one day, we will meet again—"

The images and sounds become blurred here.

"Snap!"

The sound beside him made Leo suddenly open his eyes.

He watched as the inherited iron sword gradually turned to dust and fell, and the strange patterns that appeared on the back of his hand but gradually disappeared beneath his skin.

"That's all—"

Leo, regaining his senses, looked at Sylvia somewhat awkwardly.

The imagined "anger" of the Sword Maiden did not exist; her eyes were bright, and her body trembled slightly.

"As expected! As expected! What I've been searching for all along is not a lie—"

She murmured softly.

Over the years, even though she was very determined, repeated failures still made her waver slightly.

Does this time-honored duty that I have been upholding truly exist?

Could it just be a fleeting illusion I saw in my past despair?

But now.

Everything that was happening before her eyes told her unequivocally that this legendary position was not a lie; it was just that before today, no one had ever been able to do it.
