You are all my wings!

From inside the 17th-floor passageway, faint sounds of other swords and hard objects chopping could be heard.

"Is that the voice of that blond knight teammate?"

Just as Iris was pondering this, suddenly—

A bright magical light suddenly emanated from the entrance of the passage, illuminating the surrounding caves as if it were daytime.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Things Worth Promoting

Another magical radiance flashed out from the depths of the 17th-floor passage entrance.

Then, a fierce, explosive blast of hot air roared out from the tunnel.

boom!!!!

This situation came suddenly and without warning.

Leon and the blond knight, who were fighting in front of the passage entrance, were also blown backward uncontrollably by the hot wind.

The wind was so strong that it was comparable to the aftershocks of a mid-level wind magic spell.

At this point, Leon's agility of 40, which is stronger than most Tier 3 units, comes into play.

He tumbled once in mid-air to regain his balance.

Then, even when he hit the rock wall, he stepped sideways onto the rock wall and stood on the side of the rock wall against the strong wind. He did this for four or five seconds until the wind weakened, and then he jumped down and landed easily.

Although I was caught off guard and burned by the intense heat in the wind, I lost 2 points of health.

However, the overall situation remains stable.

On the other side, the golden-haired knight, who was possessed by the Enchanting Fairy, was less agile and quicker.

Even with the added weight of dozens of kilograms from the full plate armor, the strong winds still caused them to crash directly into the wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the rock face.

Because the defensive light shield in front of her never disappeared, Iris's situation wasn't bad, except that she had lost a few points of magic power out of nowhere.

After landing, Lyon first observed the 17th-floor passage to see if there were any other magical aftershocks.

After confirming there were no aftershocks, he turned to look at the blond knight, only to see that the man was clearly badly injured and seemed on the verge of dying at any moment.

He immediately realized something was wrong!

If this blond knight dies, we'll have no choice but to run away!

The reason why no combat skills or magic were used before was to strike the enchanting fairy hidden inside the plate armor with a small amount of shock force.

If this process continues, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, the enchanting fairy will eventually be knocked unconscious and left to Leon's mercy.

But this is on the condition that the blond knight is still alive and cannot be completely drained.

Because once the body is drained or the host dies completely, the Enchanting Fairy will immediately leave the body and activate its charm skill.

Moreover, even if the host is frozen or burned, as long as the freezing speed is not instantaneous, the Enchanting Fairy will immediately detach from the host.

These are all Leon's past life game experiences.

The Enchanted Fairy is a very well-known monster in the Sword, Magic and Holy Land series.

With its alluring appearance, seductive charm, tiny body, unique seductive skills, and ruthless nature, this monster has caused several heroines in the game a lot of trouble, earning it a notorious reputation.

Therefore, Leon has a lot of experience dealing with these kinds of monsters.

But as I said before, the host of the Enchanting Fairy must live.

The most terrifying are the enchanting fairies that are not in a state of possession.

Because of a moment's carelessness, the attacker could be charmed at any time, and then become the next host of the opponent, completely losing the ability to fight back.

Only Leon, who possesses memories of various game completions from his past life, knows these strategy tips and information.

Ordinary people have yet to discover the weakness of the Enchanting Fairy.

When encountering such monsters, most people's choices are either to run away, fight the controlled host, be killed by the host, or accidentally kill a vulnerable host and become the next target for possession.

The mainstream approach in this era to eliminate the Enchanting Fairy is to use overwhelming power to directly destroy or instantly kill the host, causing the Enchanting Fairy to die as well.

Of course, only experts at the fifth rank or above can do this.

Even weaker intermediate-level spells may not be able to instantly destroy the body of a superhuman; there will always be omissions.

Fortunately.

Lyon glanced around and found that the blond knight was still alive, but his breathing was becoming shorter.

This relieved him, knowing that he still had room to maneuver.

In this state, I should be able to deliver a few more shockwave attacks to the Enchanting Fairy.

He drew his sword and charged forward.

The blond knight staggered, but finally began to move his body.

Leon arrived and swung his sword five times at the unsuspecting blond knight.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Five consecutive sword strikes, each one executed with skillful force, maintaining a steady intensity to strike various thick sections of the plate armor, causing it to vibrate.

Finally, on the fifth strike, the blond knight collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Leon stared intently for a moment, confirming that the blond knight still had some energy left, and then delivered another slash with a shockwave.

With a clang, the plate armor emitted a deep, resonant sound.

"Iris, be on guard. I'm going to dismantle this knight's plate armor, which will be a bit of a distraction."

Iris stared in disbelief at Leon's series of actions until he called her. Only then did she seem to realize what was happening, and she ran behind Leon, holding her cane in a guarded position.

Actually, she still didn't understand why the golden-haired knight was defeated, but the enchanting fairy didn't appear or launch any charm attacks.

But now that things have come to this, what else can she do?

Of course, the first thing to do is to follow Lyon's instructions and set up a guard post.

"Understood, just leave your back to me!"

Although she was suspicious and wary of Leon, she never let him down in battle.

However, the sudden burst of hot air was quite suspicious; it was most likely some kind of intermediate-level explosion magic, or fire magic.

If it's someone with ill intentions, then it could be dangerous.

Therefore, the current level of vigilance is of utmost importance.

Lyon began disassembly.

This was the first time he had ever disassembled a full plate armor set.

He had been eyeing this level 2 full-body protective gear for a long time.

Wearing this will undoubtedly increase your chances of survival in combat.

If it weren't for the fact that the weight would suppress his greatest agility, Leon had considered buying a set when he earned enough money in the future.

However, Lyon didn't waste time admiring the Tier 2 plate armor. The Enchanting Fairy could awaken at any moment, and he dared not play with fire.

Plate armor is usually removed starting from the back.

As Leon dragged the gaunt, blond knight out of the half-disassembled plate armor, a palm-sized enchanting fairy with jet-black scales on its back also fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Iris's eyes widened; it did indeed resemble an elf.

This enchanting fairy possesses the beautiful appearance and fair skin of a pure-blooded elf.

However, the overall atmosphere does indeed have a distinctly sinister feel.

Even in a coma, there's an aggressive atmosphere that suggests the person could attack others at any moment.

Although he is only at the third tier, all his abilities and magic power are focused on the skills of charm and possession/absorption.

Aside from that, it has no other harmful effects.

Therefore, Lyon took out the red spider silk he had collected earlier and wrapped it around the enchanting fairy again and again.

To prevent it from using its charm ability remotely after waking up, Leon blew some sleeping powder onto it.

"Perhaps you are the first person to successfully capture a Fairy of Enchanting Breath. You will most likely gain the dual achievement of both exploration and demon suppression. That's remarkable."

A moment later, Iris said this to Lyon.

This also reminded Lyon, who said thoughtfully:

“Indeed, according to you, this can be considered a double achievement. However, whether I am the first person to capture a demon of enchantment will only be known after we go out and investigate. Besides, even if it is an achievement, it can probably only be considered a minor one.”

The so-called dual merit refers to doing one thing and receiving the blessings of two different types of merit.

This achievement, which encompasses multiple accomplishments, means that Lyon will receive even stronger support when he advances to the sixth rank and obtains his personal epic.

Of course, Lyon cannot yet determine whether this will be considered a great achievement once it is accomplished.

This needs to generate a certain level of publicity and resonate worldwide before it can be confirmed as an achievement.

If not actively publicized, the world will resonate when advancing to the sixth rank, forcing eligible events to become the achievements of the advancer.

Therefore, when people accomplish something great, they usually ask bards to help them spread the word.

After all, if you don't do this, you'll hardly be able to confirm whether what you've done counts as an achievement before you advance to the sixth rank.

"In any case, this is something worth promoting, isn't it?"

Iris laughed, feeling as if she was slowly letting down her guard against Lyon.

"Let's wait until we get out of here before we talk about it. Anyway, our target this time is still the 25th floor."

Leon's eyes flickered, and Iris's wariness towards him noticeably decreased.

"By the way, Leon, what are your plans for dealing with the demon that captured the Enchanting Fairy?" Iris asked.

"Before that, shouldn't we first wake up this court knight and ask him for some information? Iris, it's up to you to use your healing light magic."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Level A Boss

"How did you know I know the Light Healing spell? That's the most difficult spell at the beginner level. How do you know so much about all the spells I can do? Is divination really that terrifying?" Iris suddenly remembered that Leon knew so much about everything she could do. Could divination really do that?

"It would be strange if a spellcasting genius like you didn't know how."

Leon smiled, took out the remaining ten red spider eggs, and slowly ate them to replenish the energy he had just used.

Although I didn't use any combat skills, the dozens of rounds of fighting, constantly dodging the opponent's heavy blows, still consumed 3 points of stamina.

Not only that, but the sudden hot air from the explosion also caused me to lose two points of health, so I need to eat something to speed up the recovery.

"I'm not a genius! I'm a hard worker, not a natural talent!"

Iris blushed slightly. Could it be that he only saw her as a genius, which is why he seemed to know so much about all the magic she possessed?

She gathered her magic, chanting as she waved her wand.

The Light Healing spell is difficult to cast; even Iris needs to chant incantations to assist her.

Soon, a bright green halo enveloped the blond knight, who was almost nothing but skin and bones.

Fortunately, although the Light Healing spell is difficult to cast, it is still a basic elemental magic, and for Iris's rank, the magic power consumption is not high.

Lyon estimated that this move would probably only consume 1 point of Iris's magic power.

Even if the duration is longer, it will only consume 2-3 points at most.

Soon, the blond knight's short, rapid breathing began to return to normal.

His bluish complexion gradually turned rosy.

This is the power of the Light Healing spell.

Among the water magic that Leon possesses, there are also healing spells.

However, compared to the healing spell of light, water-based healing is more focused on repairing external injuries, and its effects are relatively crude.

For severe injuries such as amputation of a limb or a broken back, intermediate-level healing techniques are required.
