After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 404 321. Flames Awaken, Starfire Airstream Slash2

"Tasya, support that guy!"

Lin Da gritted his teeth in anger, rapidly casting Verdant Shield in his mind.

No matter the outco of this battle, he had to give Lia a good talking to. As an adventurer, how could she harbor such unrealistic fantasies? The solid reality was to tumble and dodge attacks, then strike at the weaknesses of Magical Creatures with one's sword.

But the real "reality" was...

Lin Da's thoughts seed too antiquated?

The real Another World was filled with enough fantasy, not just a bunch of cold, hard data.

"Aaaaah!"

As Lia's shouts grew higher and higher, specks of golden light fused into her Fire Fighting Qi.

Her long, crimson hair seed to contain stars, airstream, flas—starlight intertwined upon her great sword, magnificent and dazzling.

The re showing of her might already turned the Snake People Chieftain pale with terror, putting up a defensive stance.

The wilderness vegetable porridge Lin Da had eaten yesterday nearly caused him to vomit in fear: that was the Starfire Douqi which Lia wouldn't even begin to grasp until level 40, so how could it appear at level 31?

No one could answer Lin Da's question.

At this mont, all eyes of both people and Magical Creatures at the scene were focused on the crimson-haired girl.

Lia only felt an unprecedented heat in her Magic Circuit, as if sothing was about to burst forth.

Wave after wave of new understanding sprung from that internal fla, flowing into her mind.

Her eyes burst with strange colors.

It was... a completely new way of using Explosive Fla Slash.

She absorbed the warmth from the sun and stars, fully utilizing the surrounding environnt to her advantage.

The part of her Magic Circuit that corresponded to Explosive Fla Slash recombined, resembling two kinds of Lego bricks that could be shaped into sothing else.

Its na was:

"Star, Fire, Airstream, Slash!"

Lia's sword was crowned with three ters of firelight, and the emitting airstream interwove with scorching flas, along with a hint of the mysterious power of the sun.

The raging fla sword struck at the Snake People Chieftain.

Bang!

A deafening explosion roared.

Dust and tiny shards of rocks exploded throughout Chaotic Stone Ridge.

Lin Da shielded his face with his arm, squinting and looking uncertainly towards the front.

"Master, are you all right?"

Tasya blasted away a Snake People Captain who was hiding in a corner, intending to sneak attack Lin Da.

"I'm fine, but what about Lia?" Lin Da was concerned that Lia would collapse after using that move.

He and Tasya rushed into the dust to search.

They found a silhouette standing with a sword.

"The rest is up to you." The fiery glow on Lia's body faded, and she looked down at her own hands, seemingly deep in contemplation.

"Alright, let's hunt down the Snake People Chieftain!"

Lin Da nodded his head.

At this point, he had no intention of letting the enemy go. The damage caused by Lia's Starfire Airstream Slash was significant, and he and Tasya, working together, were confident they could conquer it in a short ti.

Their goal had shifted from escaping safely to killing the Snake People Chieftain to obtain the Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess!

An Epic Two-Star Magical Creature of level 31 was sure to grant them a level increase.

Lin Da found the Snake People Chieftain singing Water Series Recovery Magic, leaning against a giant rock.

Having been hit by the Starfire Airstream Slash, the head of the Snake People Chieftain, which could spit flas, had vanished, leaving only one lonely head.

"Forest Dragon's Rage Fang!"

Using this Rare Technique for the last ti, Lin Da's right hand opened wide, summoning a green Magic Circle.

Hundreds of vines shot out from within, entwining mid-flight to form a Wooden Giant Dragon.

"Roar!"

As if a silent dragon's roar echoed, the Snake People Chieftain shivered in fright.

The spell it was chanting got disrupted again by Lin Da.

The suppression of Dragon Series against Serpent Series was evident.

The existence of Forest Dragon's Rage Fang doubled the effectiveness of the battle, greatly reducing the difficulty.

Tasya also went full throttle, boldly setting up her Magic Cannon on her thigh, with the barrel aid at the Snake People Chieftain bound by Forest Dragon's Rage Fang, now like a live target.

The Wind Battle Qi stirred up a tempest, and Tasya's long maid skirt fluttered noisily, revealing the white garters at her thighs now and then.

Because of the need to brace the wild Magic Cannon, Tasya's thigh muscles were tense as if they were powerful iron clamps.

The Magic Cannon [Shell Rush Sand]'s mouth opened like an octopus swallowing prey, revealing an even larger dark barrel inside.

Deep blue Battle Qi brewed within, forming a fist-sized Gale Bullet.

```

It was Tasya's ultimate skill, "Hurricane Shot"!

The Magic Cannon's following three attacks would receive an enormous boost in damage.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The scales of the Snake People Chieftain all stood on end, his pupils showing terror as he exerted all his strength to chant a defensive magic known as Water Shield.

"Dark Whip!"

With a snap of his whip, Lin Da managed to tie up the mouth of the Snake People Chieftain.

Chanting?

Chant your sister, direct physical gagging!

Imdiately after, the conical gale bullets flew one after another.

Three dull thuds that made one's teeth ache on hearing, and the huge body of the Snake People Chieftain was blasted away.

Crashing into several massive boulders, he rolled away like a ball for quite a distance.

The ground was littered with red blood and shattered scales.

The snake-man soldiers watching from a distance had already been scared out of their wits.

So fled, so crouched and hugged their heads, trembling.

The 30-level Snake People captains were sowhat better off, but those below level 30, without the protection of their leader, were imdiately cowed under the might of the three Star Rank adventurers, Lin Da and his companions, and lacked the courage to fight.

anwhile, Lia, who had entered a state of enlightennt, ca back to life from her statuesque stance and said with excitent, "I've fully mastered the Starfire Airstream Slash, it's much stronger than the Explosive Fla Slash!"

No sooner had she spoken, than a golden glow floated to above her head.

Lia blinked in confusion.

This was the Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess.

Lin Da and the others had taken care of the Snake People Chieftain?

This speed was indeed not slow.

It seed that not only had she beco stronger, but Lin Da and Tasya were by no ans weaker than her.

As she was contemplating this, the golden orb descended.

Lia grunted, tensed her body, and did not want to let out a disgraceful moan.

Bathed in Divine Power, Lia jumped from a magic-depleted level 30 to level 32, recovering about seventy percent of her Battle Qi!

Even Tasya, rising from level 34 to 35, was one step closer to the Moon Rank.

Under the golden light, Lin Da felt as if nourished by spring rain, and he couldn't help but hum in comfort.

The system voice echoed in his ears:

[Together with other adventurers, you have killed a level 31 Epic Two-Star Monster, the Three-Headed Snake People Chieftain, and received the Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess, which has been transford into 200,000 points of personal experience!]

[You have leveled up, 32→33!]

[Strength 100, Magic Power 100, Defense 30, Magic Defense 40, Agility 20, Hit Points 800]

[Current Experience 24098/300000]

Lin Da, who already had ample Magic Power, advancing to level 33, was in a state of full Magic Power, brimming with vigor.

The only slight regret was not managing to land the last hit on the Snake People Chieftain.

In that urgent situation, it was not the ti to vie for the last hit; his burst damage was far inferior to Tasya's.

Now, having ascended to level 33, with Lia at 32 and Tasya at 35, and with 50 Dark Tree Fruits in hand, he felt equipped to face the harsh climates within the sealed Great Mystery Continent.

For the first ti, Lin Da felt a sense of relaxation.

With Tasya and Lia by his side, and still in search of Lulu and Monica, he had always been on edge.

Only now did he feel he could catch his breath.

Lin Da pulled his thoughts together and walked toward the mound of spoils burst forth from the Snake People Chieftain.

Lia and Tasya followed suit.

The three of them looked over together.

Atop the small mountain of Gold Coins were one orange and two deep purple pieces of equipnt.

The deep purple light ford into fine beams, the dazzling magic particles floating within them.

It was only when adventurers picked them up and connected their Magic Circuits that the glow would dim.

"Two, two pieces of Epic-level Equipnt!" Lia exclaid. "Isn't this luck just too good?"

Epic Monsters do not necessarily drop Epic Equipnt; this is common knowledge among adventurers.

Whether they drop and how many mostly cos down to luck.

Yet Lin Da coolly glanced at Lia.

Rushing out on her own to face the Snake People Chieftain.

Although the outco was good, if Lia hadn't awakened the Starfire Airstream Slash, it could have been a very different ending.
