After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 772: 529, Tomb Guardian

Chapter 772: 529, Tomb Guardian

On the shattered Dragon Slayer statue stood a stunningly beautiful pink-haired girl.

She carried a magic spear and wore black hollowed-out armor that revealed large swaths of snow-white skin. Two skeleton hands rested on her chest, each holding one side.

Her waist was entirely exposed, covered only by a thin black veil, and the inner sides of her thighs were similarly uncovered. On her head were curved ram horns, which added a hint of exotic charm.

If it were soone else, Lin Da might secretly admire her, giving an inward thumbs up and thinking of suggesting this outfit to his teammates back ho.

But if that person were his sister…

That was hard to take.

In the past, this pink-haired girl’s attire would have made elders furious.

“Look at yourself… Aren’t you ashad of this!”

Lin Da laughed in anger.

The Lin Xi he knew was a traditional girl who would worry about her skirt being too short and revealing.

And now? What’s beco of her.

Black silk and skeleton hands!

The armor styled like skeletal hands!

This was outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

That damned Demon King! He actually dared to turn his sister into a wicked succubus.

This calls for a brutal reckoning!

Xilin, however, curled her lips in disdain, her lavender eyes flashing mockery. “In the world of demons, this is a perfectly normal outfit. It’s you who are hopelessly out of touch.”

Lin Da was incensed. Black silk and skeletal motif being classified as fashion? In that case, he’d rather all the girls around him stay as unfashionable as possible!

“Alright then, today I’ll strip you of your armor and teach you a good lesson. In the world of adventurers, you’re pure trash as far as attire goes. Walking down the street dressed like this—don’t even talk about catching my eye—you’d make feel disgusted just breathing the sa air. Watch how I deal with you.”

With ruthless remarks, he blasted her rcilessly.

Xilin’s face turned flushed from anger, and she ground her teeth. “What a big talker! Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re older! Let tell you, this armor was a gift from His Majesty the Demon King. It’s leagues beyond your shabby junk!”

“Hehehe…”

A sinister laugh suddenly rang out.

“Xilin, is this the person you said would pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Demon King? By my judgnt… absolutely not.”

Lin Da narrowed his eyes and turned to glance.

Standing next to Xilin was a short figure wearing a black robe, a magical dragon mask, and holding a skeleton staff.

The emblem on his chest was gold, while the eyes behind the magical dragon mask were pitch-black voids, seemingly capable of swallowing everything around them.

This dragon-masked figure emitted an eerie, bone-chilling dark magic power. With each word and gesture, he seed to influence the beating of Lin Da’s heart.

Imdiately, Lin Da beca highly alert.

This confird that Dragon’s Rest Tomb wasn’t lacking Heaven Ranked individuals.

Through the Heavenly Spirit Secret dicine, he himself had reached Heaven Rank on the 30th floor, so it made sense that opponents could achieve the sa.

The short dragon-masked man before his eyes looked identical to his depiction in the ga’s artwork.

The highest leader of Dragon’s Rest Tomb, the [Tomb Guardian] Delgon!

Delgon’s super kill was summoning a Bone Dragon—impervious to weapons, highly resistant to magic, and nearly unbeatable at the sa rank.

Ranked seventh among the Twelve Belongings, Delgon’s combat power was terrifying. Players only encountered him near the end of the 3.0 version.

The formidable Bone Dragon had left a deep impression on Lin Da.

Seeing this figure, Lin Da couldn’t help but feel increasingly puzzled.

The [Tomb Guardian] Delgon wasn’t supposed to appear until two years later…

Using his peripheral vision, Lin Da surveyed the area. At the four corners of the mountain top—east, south, west, and north—intense concentrations of dark energy lood.

Including Delgon, there were five Heaven Ranked individuals from the demon faction.

Fortunately, he had prepared thoroughly…

He hoped the Black Bear Man and the Vine Monster Man would arrive soon.

While Lin Da had experience cards, without enough of them, there was no way to craft permanent cards.

Additionally, transformation duration was very short.

Killing five Heaven Ranked demons, including the leader of Dragon’s Rest Tomb, within limited ti…

One experience card likely wouldn’t suffice.

He needed to stall until reinforcents arrived.

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Da gazed ahead. The two demons were currently discussing how to deal with him.

Xilin: “Lord Delgon, please grant so ti—I will persuade him.”

“And if your persuasion fails…”

“I will take action myself.”

Xilin snorted coldly and swung her magic spear, releasing a blast of dark Battle Qi that shot toward Lin Da, landing just ters away.

The earth seed to turn to tofu as it dissolved soundlessly upon contact with the streak of black energy.

In an instant, a wide chasm appeared in the solid ground—large enough for a carriage to pass through.

Black magic clung to the soil like an insidious infection, bubbling and refusing to dissipate.

This was… Dark Corruption.

The two girls standing behind Lin Da paled visibly.

It was this sa force that had injured Bailuo and Oru.

Treating such injuries required rare magical items; ordinary thods proved completely ineffective.

Judging by the aura of Battle Qi Xilin had unleashed, her level seed close to the Limit Saint Level.

Lia swallowed nervously, ntally bracing herself for the brutal battle ahead.

The dark chasm stretched before Lin Da, but he seed unfazed, his voice calm: “I’ll give you one last chance—co back to my side.”

“It’s you who should cross over! When His Majesty the Demon King awakens and conquers Mystic Continent, he will grant eternal life to all his captains. If the three of you surrender now, you can receive his blessings too.”

Xilin’s gaze was complex, as though she were both questioning Lin Da and complaining:

“Why can’t you understand my good intentions? You’ve all been deceived by the royal family. To them, adventurers are nothing but expendable pawns!”

Lin Da rubbed his temples and shook his head in exasperation.

Even legends only lived for about two hundred years; if eternal life could simply be granted, then wouldn’t the Demon King be a level 100 ultimate boss?

If he were truly level 100, how could adventurers have managed to seal him?

Such a flimsy lie, yet Xilin believed it wholeheartedly.

It seed this corruption not only caused pain to witches but also lowered their intelligence… Lin Da smirked inwardly. Demon King, oh Demon King—you really know how to craft useful skills.

Realizing that persuasion was futile, Lin Da slowly unsheathed the wind-green Wind Shadow Sword and pointed it at Xilin:

“If I win, you’ll co back with . Snow Goose’s family… everyone is waiting for you.”

“Who wants to go back? The one who needs to wake up is you!” Xilin’s gaze turned icy.

“It seems there’s no point in talking further.”

Lin Da sighed softly as green and purple magic fused within him, activating his twin state.

His eyes snapped open, black flas igniting within his pupils, scorching disordered emotions to ashes, leaving his mind utterly serene.

“Then let’s fight.”

Lin Da unleashed the fruits of his year of grueling training in the Ice Abyss without reservation.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet exploded as magic power surged out like a torrential wave.

A total of seventy-two white Rule Fragnts ford a circular dance around him.

The Wind Shadow Sword’s dim green glow suddenly intensified, its joyful hum echoing across the mountaintop, piercing the clouds.

The gathered demons stirred uneasily.

Even though they were the elite of Dragon’s Rest Tomb, they couldn’t help but falter.

“You…”

Xilin’s eyelids twitched wildly.

Lin Da’s level was at the Limit Saint Level!

The last ti she sent her familiar crow to scout, Lin Da had been neglectful and shaless, indulging only in disgraceful behavior.

She had sent the crow seven tis, and each ti presented the sa scene—only the won around him and their positions varied.

Exhausted from constant disappointnt, Xilin had eventually stopped assigning her familiar to monitor Lin Da.
