After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da was bedecked with various buffs, radiating different lights over his body.

His combined combat power had increased by at least thirty percent.

Agility Wind made him light as a feather.

Armor Enhancement toughened his skin and flesh.

Lin Da charged towards the massive Red Armored Crab King.

Behind him, Klyne opened up her Shield Wall to protect all members.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lin Da to draw the rage of the Red Armored Crab King, creating an opportunity to strike.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of impacts burst forth.

The heavy crab pincers of the Red Armored Crab King struck Lin Da, each blow embedding his feet deeper into the ground.

His Verdant Shield was shattered by a blow, and then he intoned again, releasing his skill.

And then it was shattered again.

Ultimately, Lin Da could not manage a seamless skill release.

The remaining damage, he took on directly with his Life Barrier.

-1430!

-1350!

-1700!

Four-digit damage numbers sprang from Lin Da's head.

His Life Barrier continuously took heavy hits, the connected core suffered, causing internal pain like a headache splitting open, with a trace of crimson blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

But Lin Da's eyes were still fixed firmly on the massive Red Armored Crab King, not relaxing for a moment.

He chanted the spell for the Healing Art in his mouth, frantically recovering health. Read exclusive adventures at empire

The last Skill Point was uncompromisingly assigned to the Primary Healing Spell.

Plus Phyllis was helping from behind.

Lin Da's health points maintained a delicate balance.

Rapidly falling, then quickly recovered.

Like walking a tightrope high in the air, a slight misstep could send him plummeting into the abyss!

"Ok now, start attacking!"

When the timing was right, Lin Da shouted loudly.

The rage of the Red Armored Crab King was all focused on him.

The team members could launch an assured attack, no need to worry about being chased by the Red Armored Crab King!

At this moment, the mood of Aiko and others was like a rollercoaster, up and down.

The Healing Art landed on Lin Da, the Life Barrier recovered, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

But then it was shattered once again by the Red Armored Crab King into a thin layer, their hearts plunged into the abyss.

Some more timid members, like Monica and Klyne, did not dare to watch.

Fearing the next scene would be Lin Da's Life Barrier shattering.

"You pathetic crab, I will definitely not spare you..." Chloe clasped her own small axe tightly.

As Lin Da issued the attack command, in an instant, the team member's fury burst forth, eyes reddened, as if they wanted to devour the crab alive.

"Rain of Light!"

"Barrage of Arrows!"

"Earth Bombardment!"

"Dagger Scatter!"

A myriad of colorful skills bombarded the Red Armored Crab King.

In Lin Da's vision, a bunch of damage numbers popped up.

In just a few seconds, the Red Armored Crab King lost over twenty thousand hitpoints, a quarter of its health!

Just then, a fiery-red figure shot out like an arrow, passing by Lin Da, a voice of a young girl mumbling angrily could faintly be heard:

"Idiots, each and every one of you, idiots...!"

Lia was in an unprecedented state of rage.

She couldn't understand how Aiko had become so careless, actually letting Lin Da take on the Red Armored Crab King head-on.

'Before you're defeated by me, dying at the hands of magical creatures is unacceptable!'

Hot blood surged in Lia's chest, her Battle Qi shone bright and crimson, like the sun.

She hated feeling protected by Lin Da,

At such times, she felt like she was the idiot.

Lia always charged to the forefront when fighting magical creatures.

That way, she would be the one injured, not her teammates.

Lia was also carrying out her role as a qualified team captain in her own way.

Under the process of Energy Charging, the blade glow of Lia's greatsword grew to three meters.

"Explode! Flame! Strike!"

The young girl dragged out the tones, furiously screaming as she struck down on the top of the Red Armored Crab King with her sword.

The Blazing Swordsman of level 25 applied her Energy Charging plus her Ultimate Skill, dealing terrifyingly high damage numbers.

This number, was beyond even Lin Da's estimate. Perhaps it was Lia surpassing her usual performance, or maybe her training had paid off, this one strike landed a five-digit number.

-15789!

Instantly, it knocked off one-seventh of the Red Armored Crab King's health points!

Lin Da was invigorated.

At this rate, defeating these magical creatures would be much faster than he had anticipated.

"Now, everyone hold back, don't draw too much rage from the magical creature!"

It was Lin Da's turn to attack.

Relying on the powerful total damage of the Venom Magic Sphere, he pulled the anger of the Red Armored Crab King back to him.

Once there was enough hostility, it would create a new opportunity for the back line to strike.

Repeat three times, and this magical creature would be thoroughly defeated at their hands!

As Aiko and the others heard the command, they immediately held back.

But one, however, did not leave.

The fiery-red greatsword continued to weave a net of sword light, still attacking the Red Armored Crab King.

Even hearing Lin Da's words, there was no intent to move.

This scene was familiar.

When they were on the second tier, Lin Da had almost caused a team wipe because Lia disregarded his command and ventured deep into the swamp on her own.

The unpleasant memory suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Since then, Lin Da had tried his best to produce a detailed strategy to avoid repeating the same mistake.

But this time, Lia actually disobeyed orders again!

"Step aside, now is not your time to attack!"

Lin Da yelled angrily.

"I... refuse!"

Lia didn't even turn back, her face stubborn, as she swung her greatsword, leaving charred marks on the crab pincer.

"What did you say?"

"This young miss said... I refuse! I will not back down!"

Lia glanced at Lin Da, her eyes filled with urgency, "What are you standing there for, hurry up and restore your life barrier!"

Just now at the back, Lia had been watching closely.

Even though Lin Da's recovery amount was high, and Phyllis helped, they could make the thickness of the life barrier increase.

But, each time, it was not as thick as the last, nowhere near the full strength it was at the start of the fight.

Simply put, Lin Da's health points were constantly decreasing.

At the beginning, with the Blessing of Holy Light, it was 6200.

After being hit and losing health, he recovered, but could only get back to 6000.

The second time, it went up again.

But it was only 5800.

This was a vicious cycle.

When Lin Da's life barrier fell to a certain limit, perhaps he would be killed by the Red Armored Crab King.

Therefore, Lia labeled Lin Da and Aiko as fools. What she could figure out, those two couldn't grasp.

"Red Flame Strike!"

Lia cried out, her greatsword cleaving a streak of light that slashed across the head of the Red Armored Crab King.

The immense force forced the creature to back down.

Lin Da was slow to react, could it be that Lia was showing concern for someone else?

This was indeed, a first.

But did this person not understand, if she could think of it, how could others not?

The fact was, Lin Da's hit points had indeed dropped.

But still, the shield was thick.

Much thicker than the one he had given Lia during the auction!

"Small Fry, I'm coming to help you!"

An arrogant girl's voice came from behind.

Klrona, wearing a Bull Horn Helmet, her small axe glowing with strong Battle Qi, opened her Tower Shield to protect Lin Da.

Seeing two girls, one pink and one red, speaking clumsy words but still protecting him, Lin Da felt especially complicated.

What exactly Lia thought of him, he didn't know.

But Klrona, he understood.

Just a little brat who hadn't grown up, wilful and always pushing boundaries.

Lin Da, a grown man, surely wouldn't quarrel with Klrona.

As for Lia, he couldn't exactly say he hated her. Three years of time had profoundly impacted everyone, those initially pleasant memories, even though now paths diverged, hadn't changed the past.

If Lia would give up troubling him about Phoenix Tail Flower and coexist peacefully, Lin Da might still be able to become her friend.

Someday at a tavern, drinking together as two team leaders.

Letting go of those past times, both could stride forward.

But who couldn't let go? Lin Da wasn't sure he could throw those three years away like rubbish into a trash can.

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted in front.

The Red Armored Crab King swept its tail, launching the skill "Thousand Army Scatter", attacking Lia!

This hit was significant.

If it really hit, the Swordsman, Lia, would be severely injured at the least, and in the worst case, she could be instantly killed on the spot.

A trace of panic appeared on Lia's face; she clenched her teeth, trying to leap up to dodge the attack of the Red Armored Crab King.

However, the creature was simply too big.

By the time Lia prepared to dodge, it was already too late.

Just at that instant.

Lin Da chanted a spell, releasing Verdant Shield!

A green glow turned into a shield, settling on the young girl.

Lia's eyes shimmered with light, looking up at the death-filled crab tail, but her lips curled upward.

Wasn't this him putting a shield on her?

Lin Da was still Lin Da.

When she faced danger, he still wouldn't ignore it.

However, even with the enhancement of Verdant Shield, Lia couldn't remain unharmed.

Verdant Shield shattered, dissipating most of the force.

The crab tail struck Lia's abdomen.

The girl's face turned pale, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and like a baseball, was flung into the sky.

This is bad.

Lia thought as she felt intense pain in her stomach; she couldn't land on her own!

Falling from a high place, crashing to the ground, she would inevitably be severely injured!

Frantically looking downwards, Lia saw Oru running around with his arms outstretched, ready to catch her.

Her skirt fluttering in the air, Lia covered it with her hands, and the thought of falling into Klyne's boyfriend's arms was both embarrassing and infuriating.

She really didn't want to fall into Oru's burly arms!

"Dark Whip!"

Suddenly, a black energy whip twined around Lia's waist.

Lia cried out in shock, then the whip pulled her toward Lin Da on the ground.

Lia bit her lip, her emotions in turmoil, thinking that Lin Da, that guy, better not try an inappropriate princess carry or something...

Then apologize for improperly quitting the team and other such things... Lia's head was full of happy thoughts, actually feeling getting hit by the Red Armored Crab King wasn't so bad.

In fact, she was overthinking.

Lin Da pulled her over and, like a porter handling a bag of rice, thumped her onto his shoulder.

Lucky for Lia who exercised often, her body was resilient.

If it were Aiko, the Mage who usually sat in a wheelchair, that would have instantly broken his back.

But even with Lia's strong physique, being smashed onto Lin Da's shoulder from high above was painful enough to make her eyebrows knit together, tears instinctively forming little pearls.

This was worse than falling into Oru's burly arms!
