Her current maximum standing long jump record is only 25 meters (although this is already terrifying, more than eight times that of an average person).

Of course, if there were no interference from the Shadowless Demon Spider, she could jump out of the swamp with a running start, but now it's clear that she can't do that with the Shadowless Demon Spider's interference.

She intercepted the Shadow Spider, but was thus hindered by it.

However, the problem now is—

"In my current physical condition, I cannot activate combat skills above the third tier!"

"Since that's the case... Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness! Do not resist!"

"Varied……"

call out!!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ophimasso suddenly saw Lyon leap up from the shadows beneath his feet and grab him around the waist.

She instinctively tried to move.

"Your Highness, please don't resist!"

The voice seemed to possess a mysterious allure, and Ophimasso stopped resisting.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her body seemingly merge with the shadows, sweeping across the ground.

The next moment, she found herself being carried away from the muddy area by Leon.

Is it a fourth-tier Shadow-type movement combat skill?

Ophimosa immediately realized that normal shadow-type movement combat techniques could not turn people into shadows.

Only those at the fourth rank or above have the ability to move and roam as shadows.

How come he's not only so strong in magic, but his combat skills have also reached the fourth tier?

Moreover, isn't he afraid of exposing the fact that he was eavesdropping on information when he used such a powerful shadow-based combat technique?

In her surprise, Ophim Marceau forgot to get out of Lyon's princess carry.

Not only that, she also witnessed an even more astonishing scene.

A magnificent and powerful holy light suddenly flashed from the top of the dome, then fell at high speed, striking the Shadow Spider that was about to leave the small swamp circle like lightning.

boom!!!!!

Holy light is effective against shadow-type monsters. The moment the magnificent holy light touched the Shadow Spider, its shadow form was immediately interrupted, and its entire huge body was burned with massive damage.

This is Britta's superior magic, Demonic Annihilation Holy Light!

It wasn't just a regular high-level spell; Britta also imbued it with a small amount of divine energy, greatly increasing its power!

Judging solely from its imposing presence, even Chiron's King-level magic pales in comparison.

Furthermore, this spell was significantly more persistent than the Explosion spell, never dissipating, and it was even more effective against Shadow and Dark magic. In just a short while, the strongest sixth-tier powerful monster, the Shadow Spider, was blasted to pieces by the holy light, its hard shell shattered and its flesh emitting charred smoke.

They were still firmly suppressed under the holy light and unable to move.

Moreover, in the distance, countless extremely condensed spears of light shot across the sky, piercing into the compound eyes near the head of the Shadow Demon Spider.

Chapter 196 Your Highness, Hold Me Tight!

Ophimasso was speechless for a moment.

There was both surprise at the immense power of Britta's magic and a slight sense of bewilderment at the current situation.

Is this why Lyon wanted me to leave quickly?

He had already planned the operation against the Shadow Spider.

Was everything that just happened part of his plan?

Just how amazing is this guy's intelligence and how strong is his ability to take action?

Not only did it risk crossing to the center of the battlefield, but it also used my power to intercept the Shadow Spider and clear away the monsters for me, allowing me to successfully intercept it.

Afterwards, once Britta finishes her long incantation, quickly leave the battlefield, ensuring that the Shadow Spider, which is currently restrained, cannot escape Britta's wave of magical attacks.

She looked at the Shadow Spider again. After being attacked by Bretta and the light magic that was clearly from a long-lived species, the Shadow Spider was almost dead.

As the nineteenth spear of light pierced his brain, the Shadowless Spider fell completely still, lying silently in the center of the swamp circle, its entire body charred black, without a drop of blood flowing out.

A powerful sixth-tier fighter, she, Britta, Iris, and Leon combined their strength and were directly killed without even having a chance to exert themselves.

"How did Britta's superior-level spell manage to rival a king-level spell?"

Ophimosa couldn't help but ask.

She was so shocked and exhausted that she forgot she was still clinging to Leon in his arms. For safety, she held Leon's waist tightly with both hands while being carried in a princess carry.

I must say, it feels really good.

"Your Highness, let's wait until after the battle to ask all these questions. Aren't you coming down?"

Leon swung his sword to slash away the claws of the monster attacking him from the side, and then dodged to the side.

Although his magic power had increased to 73 points, he had just cast five intermediate spells in one go: two were perfect-level Hurricane Flame Bullets combined with Fire Acceleration spells, and three were Small Mud Swamps.

Including the consumption from two fourth-tier Shadow Steps and several Shadow Leaps, the total mana cost was a terrifying 71 points.

If he hadn't eaten a lot of fresh meat before coming, combined with his current rapid mana recovery, his mana wouldn't have been able to hold up.

Ophimosa then realized the problem, and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Oh right, thanks."

She struggled to jump, but suddenly found that the muscles in her limbs were unusually sore and she couldn't move for a moment.

It's the various blunt force injuries sustained during combat and the accumulated muscle fatigue!

During the battle, I didn't feel anything because of the fifth-tier riding armor, but when I relaxed, I suddenly started to spasm.

Although this is incredible for someone at the fifth level of strength, it is the truth.

She knew it was because she had been engaged in a high-intensity battle for nearly five hours, and after being embraced by Leon, she had unconsciously relaxed her mindset.

Even if she played one-on-one for five hours, she wouldn't feel this tired; in fact, she could say she was completely at ease.

The pressure of dealing with the monster tide at the forefront is simply too great and too astonishing.

With so many injuries and hidden fatigue accumulated in the body, the only way to repair this level of hidden injuries and fatigue is to rest, or, in extreme cases, use a high-level healing spell.

However, the learning difficulty of advanced healing magic is higher than that of some king-level magic, so this is just wishful thinking.

When skilled players are pursuing advancement, they will definitely prioritize offensive magic, followed by defensive magic, and lastly healing magic.

"Your Highness, your body has reached its limit? How many times have you taken the medicine?"

Leon skillfully dodged and gathered his magic, preparing to seize the opportunity to escape from the center of the battlefield.

"Seven times now."

Ophimosa felt ashamed. How could she fight the rest of the battle while being held by Leon, a second-tier fighter?

It was fortunate that the leader of the floor, the Shadow Spider, was killed by Leon's plan, and the monster tide began to fall into chaos. It lost its previous unstoppable momentum, and the pressure on everyone dropped significantly. Otherwise, the absence of her, who was at the forefront, would have had a huge impact on the formation at the rear.

This is also why Leon prioritized targeting the Shadow Spider.

Just as Ophim Marceau had guessed, this operation was indeed planned by Leon.

If the Shadow Spiders had been dealt with smoothly before, given Ophimaso's previous planning and combat reserves, the pressure of this monster tide would not have been easy, but at least it wouldn't have been as bad as before.

Despite unleashing their ultimate moves, trump cards, and various potions, they were still forced to retreat step by step.

Therefore, Leon decided to take drastic measures and planned an assassination attempt against the Shadow Spider.

Unlike other Tier 6 creatures, the Shadow Spider's mobility is terrifying, enhanced by its shadow skills.

If a superior or king-level magic were to target it, it would definitely be detected immediately and escape by turning into a shadow.

Therefore, the success of this operation was inseparable from the efforts of these key female characters.

Especially Ophimaso, who was in charge of the interception, and Britta, who borrowed some of the divine energy; without these two, the Shadow Spider would never have died so easily.

Of course, Lyon, who was in charge of planning and connecting the dots, was also the core figure.

Ophim Marceau was well aware of this.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you. My magic and stamina have been restored after drinking a potion. Give me three minutes to rest and relieve muscle fatigue. I'll be back on the battlefield soon!"

She spoke solemnly to Lyon.

"Your Highness, before that, I suggest you consider other issues."

"how?"

"How can the two of us survive for three minutes alone in this spot without any teammates to support us?"

"?"

Ophema was relieved, but Lyon was also nearing his breaking point.

That's right. Leon has cast so many intermediate spells in a row and still has the strength to fight. She almost forgot that Leon is only a second-tier mage.

Because Lyon was so reliable, she underestimated the severity of the current problem.

"Understood, I will mobilize my magic power as soon as possible to speed up the recovery."

Leon originally thought that with Ophimosa around, he could easily crush the chaotic monsters by using her power after bringing her out.

Unexpectedly, the pressure that Ophimosa had been under was much higher than initially estimated, and she was completely unable to fight in those few minutes.

He had two points of magic left. He would save them up and wait for the fresh meat he had eaten to take effect so that he could use Shadow Leap to escape the battlefield alone (Shadow Leap cannot carry people). But this was his last resort.

If possible, Leon certainly wouldn't want such a strong fighting force to be abandoned just because it's temporarily exhausted.

"Your Highness, hold me tight! This position is hindering my movement!"

"it is good."

Ophimosa hesitated for a moment, then sheathed her sword, stretched out her hands and hugged Leon tightly around the lower back, her two fair hands clasped together at Leon's waist.

Now that things have come to this, can I still hold this reliable teammate back?

Even though this teammate isn't officially a teammate yet.

"Also, Your Highness, could you please stop pressing your chest against me? Could you change your position a little so it's easier for me to dodge?"

Chapter 197 Your Highness, Feed Me!

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting at a time like this!"

Ophimosa stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock.

"Your Highness, I'm serious. Your posture makes it difficult for me to perform."

"..."

Ophimosa silently adjusted her posture, slightly turning her body, causing the two balls on her chest to push the elastic riding outfit towards her armpits in an arc.

"Yes, that's right, this pose is great, I like it."

Ophie Marceau's eyelids twitched slightly, and a fleeting blush appeared on her rosy cheeks.

Her feelings were quite complicated.

If it weren't for her current predicament, and the fact that Leon was her savior, she would definitely have taught a lesson to the lecherous man who had flirted with her.

Unlike Britta, who was holy and pure and had to stay away from the defilement of men and women, the princess had witnessed many sordid things from a very young age.

Of course, having knowledge doesn't mean you can do it.

Not to mention that the royal family has extremely strict requirements regarding chastity, requiring couples to remain chaste before marriage.

As a steadfast magic swordsman, Ophimaso, who displayed heroic spirit from a young age and aspired to heroic deeds, set his sights on focusing on training and dedicating himself to serving his country.

This may sound unrealistic, but given her status and position, it is something she would have been taught about very early on and had given herself considerable thought about.
