You are all my wings!

"No, you're wrong. Don't think that just because we've captured a fourth-tier monster, our opponent is weak. Underestimating the enemy is a big no-no! The key is what's in front of us! Since the Shadow Scorpion was discovered in this dungeon, there haven't been any known cases of it being defeated. Our operation today is not just about defeating a monster, but also about accomplishing a brand new feat."

Lyon smiled and said slowly.

His voice carried the seductive quality honed through years of fraudulent experience.

Upon hearing the words "new achievements," the group couldn't help but lift their eyelids, their spirits lifted, and they became quite interested.

Karl simply brandished the door-panel sword in his hand, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air:

"If that's how you put it, then I'm interested in giving it a shot."

Bovary raised his hand and asked, "And what about the opponent's rank?"

"It could be a third-tier, or it could be a fourth-tier, and if we're unlucky, it might even be a fifth-tier. Considering that the monster battles in the side area aren't too intense, it's better to treat it as a powerful fourth-tier monster at the very least."

Chapter 90 The Attack

"Understood. Whatever you desire, my sword will shine for you!"

A fighting spirit ignited in Bovary's eyes, and with the prospect of battle, his emotions quickly shifted from their previous embarrassment.

Leon nodded and began to explain the specific strategy plan.

Shadow-type monsters are extremely troublesome. Their strength may not be very high, but their terrifying stealth is enough to allow them to maintain a one-on-one dominance even when facing multiple opponents.

The Shadow Scorpion is not only stealthy, but also possesses powerful killing techniques.

Taking advantage of the materialization properties of shadows, the Shadow Scorpion has three strongest attack skills.

These are Shadow Hook (an instantaneous shadow hook that can extend its tail at high speed to strike the opponent or pull them back to the vicinity of the body), Shadow Breaker (connecting the shadows of both parties, attacking the shadows will attack the target's main body), and Shadowless Blade (using the shadows of the ground to launch a nearly invisible and traceless shadow blade from a distance, which can easily break through most metal defensive equipment below level four).

These three skills are all ranged attacks, capable of injuring opponents from a great distance, posing a significant threat.

And a movement skill, Ground Shadow, which allows the user to hide their body in the shadows of the ground.

This skill is quite similar to Leon's Shadow Leap.

However, just as Leon explained the basic skills of the Shadow Scorpion and before he could go over the detailed strategy, he suddenly frowned and stopped talking.

"What is it, Your Excellency?"

Bovary noticed that Léon's expression was off and quickly asked.

At this moment, Iris and Britta, whose agility was as high as 51, also turned their bodies and looked at the distance of the main road.

Upon seeing this, Bovary quickly looked over as well.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground one after another could be heard.

The 38th floor features a vast desert landscape with excellent lighting.

Therefore, by looking a little further into the distance, one can see what is making the sound.

Several silhouettes gradually became clearer in Bovary's eyes and gradually occupied the center of his vision.

Three or four hundred meters away were four enormous fourth-tier demonic creatures!

They are a five-meter-tall fourth-tier berserker bear, a four-meter-long fourth-tier frost wolf, a two-meter-tall fourth-tier red-skinned spider, and a one-meter-tall fourth-tier green needle bee.

Although they were all ordinary monsters, their combined power was truly extraordinary.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that there is more or less flowing flesh and blood in various parts of the four bodies, flowing through the pores in their bodies.

A life alchemy monster?

Looking closely behind the monster, one sees Andrio, dressed in a black magic robe, with a scarred and ferocious face.

Beside Andrio was a little girl whose face was hidden under her hood.

Behind the girl were three tall, muscular men, who clearly appeared to be warriors.

"Very strong."

Beside Bovary, Karl solemnly drew his door-panel sword.

Compared to Utaman's subordinates, the aura of the three people behind the loli girl was significantly stronger, probably a level above them, and they were all third-tier experts who could enter the fourth tier at any time.

"I didn't expect them to find us so quickly. It seems we didn't have enough time to stall before."

Lyon shook his head in regret, it seemed he wouldn't have the chance to advance to the next level.

It's good that they don't know I'm planning to attack the Shadow Scorpion. If they did, they could have ambushed me and waited until I finished before making their move, which would have been much worse.

"Gentlemen, it seems we must resolve these troubles before accomplishing any new tasks."

Lyon said quickly:

"Iris, activate your Radiant Light first."

Iris nodded, quickly chanted a few words, and then suddenly waved her wand.

After reaching the fourth tier, she could quickly activate intermediate spells that she was already quite proficient in with just a few short incantations.

Not only is it faster to activate, but it also consumes less magic power and is significantly more powerful.

call out!!!!

Suddenly, a bright halo appeared ahead and shot forward.

At the same time, a wide ice crystal convex lens also condensed more than ten meters in front of the aperture, refracting the aperture to form a sharp 1-centimeter heat line that shot forward.

Beep!

In the blink of an eye, the hotline crossed the 100-meter mark, surpassed 300 meters, and swept towards the foremost fourth-tier berserker bear.

The bear roared and strode forward, meeting the hotline head-on.

Behind it, the other three alchemical monsters also seemed to be driven by Andrio, and began to run forward, following the bear.

With a hiss, the hot wire left a scorch mark on the bear's chest, lingered for two seconds, and then pierced through it.

However, the bear's movement was not affected by the hotline hitting its vital points, and it continued to run forward.

Lyon, observing this scene from afar, felt a stirring in his heart.

Is this an improvement made to the previous hotline and Holy Annihilation Magic?

Or is this a characteristic that the Crimson Monster also possessed last time?

It was only because the crimson monster had exhausted its internal magic power that this characteristic was not manifested.

He manipulated the ice crystal convex lens to change its direction, adjusted the position of the hot wire, and sliced ​​the bear horizontally, cutting it in half like cutting a piece of paper.

However, in just a moment, streaks of blood emerged from between the upper and lower halves of the separated bear, reconnecting the two halves and flowing through the cut, instantly stitching the wound back to its original state.

Leon remained steadfast, continuing to slash at other monsters, repeatedly cutting them to deplete their magic power.

My magic consumption for this move is not high, I can afford to use it!

The others who witnessed the strange scene ahead all had slight changes in expression.

"Don't waver, everyone. That characteristic is the same as that of the Crimson Demon. It requires the consumption of the potential magic power and life force contained in the demon's body. Once it is exhausted, it will automatically dissipate."

Leon said something and continued to calmly issue combat orders:

"Four Knights, assume the standard team battle formation and prepare for close-quarters combat. Saintess, do not rush to activate your Holy Annihilation and superior magic. You need to save enough of that magic to deal with Andrio."

Britta was about to intervene, but upon hearing Lyon's words, she said:

"So, can Iris withstand the early attacks?"

"Don't worry about her, trust her."

Hearing Leon's words, Iris's little face lit up with a proud smile:

"That's right, Britta, just you wait and see just how much I'll improve after advancing to the fourth tier!"

"Very good, that's the momentum, Iris, keep up the Radiance of Light and don't stop!"

Leon called out to Iris, while simultaneously activating his magic to maintain the ice crystal convex lens.

Because the temperature of Iris's compressed aperture is not low, even though the ice crystal convex lens has high transparency, it will inevitably melt after being exposed to light for a long time. Therefore, in addition to consuming magic to control the cutting direction of the heat line, it is also necessary to maintain it at the same time.

Maintaining this for ten seconds requires at least 3 points of magic power.

However, compared to its power, this amount of magic power consumption is clearly well worth it.

Ahead, the four demons continued their charge, braving the repeated cuts from the heat beam.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two suddenly increased to within a hundred meters.

Chapter Ninety-One Positional Warfare

As soon as it entered the 100-meter range, the leading bear also came into the skill's range. It roared and spewed out a raging tornado.

This move was the source of inspiration for the invention of the intermediate-level wind magic, Tornado.

call out!!!!

The tornado tore and swirled, carrying with it the surrounding air and dust, transforming into a thick, long snake that swept rapidly toward the people standing at the intersection of the Ninth Branch Road.

Lyon waved his hand, and a stream of icy air suddenly shot out, hitting the bottom of the tornado precisely and weakening its powerful airflow in the blink of an eye.

When he reached the front of the crowd, Karl swung his sword and cleaved the tornado apart.

Lyon's move was an enhanced version of the basic freezing technique.

Magic -3.

Even if the opponent's move is a powerful intermediate-level spell, the cyclone force within it will be weakened by the freezing.

Essentially, the root cause of the high-speed airflow in tornadoes is the extreme temperature and pressure difference between the inside and outside.

By mitigating the internal temperature difference, the tornado will naturally dissipate on its own.

Of course, only Leon, who was familiar with all four magic systems and had a good understanding of the principles of various magics, could accomplish the feat of weakening an intermediate-level magician with a novice magician.

If it were someone else, they could only fight against each other at the intermediate level.

At this moment, the Frostwolf beside the Bear stepped into the 80-meter range, also entering the skill's activation range.

As it ran, the silver fur on its shoulders and back stood on end, as if a great deal of magic was gathering.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a surging wave of cold air.

As soon as the cold wave left its mouth, it transformed into a vast expanse of icy, frosty currents that swept towards the crowd.

Lyon countered the move and waved his hand again.

This cold wave happens to be the magic he's best at, so it's not difficult to break.

A massive fireball suddenly appeared and shot out at extremely high speed.

It was the high-speed fireball technique that he had recently mastered!

Since this magical imagery originated from the imagery of the fireball spell he had mastered without chanting, he quickly mastered the technique of chanting without chanting after becoming proficient in it.

Magic -4.

call out!!!!

The fireball struck the center of the cold wave at an abnormal speed. Due to its high speed and extremely concentrated firepower, it instantly dispersed most of the freezing power of the cold wave, causing it to dissipate to the surrounding areas.

The dissipated freezing power was still considerable, but as the distance increased, it deflected and could not directly hit the group.

This scene caught the attention of Andrio and Machiru, who were hiding behind the four monsters.

"That guy's magic is problematic. He always manages to weaken the strong with the weak, which shows that his mastery of the four elements of magic has reached a very high level."

Maggie raised an eyebrow.

Andrio nodded:

“It seems I misjudged before. Perhaps it wasn’t the long-lived creature that took away my Water-Swallowing Ape, but the silver-haired mage. Machiru, I’ll deal with the saintess and the long-lived creature first. As for the silver-haired mage, I’ll leave him to you. Take care of him as soon as possible.”

Maggie's eyes lit up:

“This one is suitable for me. It’s such a rare sample, with a high level of magic and a very good appearance. It’s definitely a good match for me to deal with.”
