After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 572

Chapter 572: 425. Death Magic Heart Slash, Hero Emerges from the Bushes_2

Her elder brother was only a bit bad, not particularly evil.

The only one who did not feel shocked was Tasya.

Tasya placed her hands in front of her chest, her beautiful eyes dreamily watching the Black Flame on Lin Da's sword. Although there was a certain gap compared to Lin Da during his 'Dark Shadow' era, at a glance, it was seventy percent similar.

This was still only Lin Da preliminarily mastering the Twin Mana.

Once Lin Da mastered the Twin Mana to its peak, he would inevitably surpass his former self.

In Tasya's eyes, the way Lin Da treated Bervis was too modest. The Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team agreeing to marry into Holy Rock was entirely the latter's fortune. Bervis should ideally be joining Rocher in giving their thanks on their knees.

“Don't worry, Master didn't kill that 'small-eyed one'.” Tasya said.

At some point, everyone had started to refer to Bervis as the 'small-eyed one.'

Aiko relaxed, lifted her skirt, and hurriedly ran over to check.

A trench about fifty meters long appeared on the ground, as if a giant beast had torn a gap in the earth with its claws.

The power was astonishing.

“I didn't expect that the battle on the fifteenth floor wasn't all you had.”

A figure stood dumbly by the trench, remarking emotionally.

Staring at the terrifying trench two meters deep, exposing the rocks beneath, Bervis's feelings were incredibly complex.

Clearly, Lin Da had gone easy.

The target of that sword attack was not him.

Moon Rank losing to Star Rank, and the opponent was still merciful… Bervis's cheek flushed hot, as if stung by a bee.

He and Aiko looked at each other from opposite sides of the trench, Aiko exclaimed, “Your nose…”

“It's nothing, just hit by a flying pebble.”

Touching his swollen, round red nose, Bervis casually remarked.

Although he too had been merciful.

Losing to Star Rank was an indisputable fact.

“Now, does Phoenix Tail Flower compare to the Zijing Stone Family?” Lin Da asked calmly, giving Bervis the illusion that he might still unleash another sword strike.

Only Tasya behind him saw that Lin Da's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Using the Death Magic Heart Slash placed a significant toll on Lin Da himself.

But Bervis, immersed in shock from the Magic Heart Slash, had no spare attention to observe Lin Da's condition.

He even seriously suspected that Lin Da had other hidden cards he hadn't used.

“Ten Star Adventurers of Cangqing Province throughout the ages probably couldn't reach this level of combat power…”

Bervis smiled helplessly, thinking that adventurers like Lin Da should have a unique Eleven Star rating.

Lin Da appeared contemplative.

Recalling the feeling of executing the Death Magic Heart Slash with his hand, at that moment, the magic circuits resonated together, like boiling water threatening to overspill, yet always missing something.

He had a premonition that Level 5 of Magic Heart Slash was not the limit.

It could evolve and become stronger.

Lin Da summarized in his heart: Death Magic Heart Slash was indeed powerful, enough for him to defeat a higher rank. However, his health points also dropped to 2000 in an instant, evaporating 90% of them.

With the high attack power of a Moon rank adventurer, a casual strike could cause fatal damage to him!

Using Death Magic Heart Slash was best under the dual protection of Verdant Shield and Guardian Shield.

Shields and health points are calculated separately; even without any health points left, there are still two layers of shields as a backup.

Without proper safety measures, it's better not to use it.

Just like in today's battle, if it were a team battle, even if he killed Bervis instantly, he would be targeted by the opposing Mage.

Unless there's a Heavy Armored Warrior to distract with a Taunting Skill.

“While Death Magic Heart Slash is powerful, it needs to be used with caution. Normally, using the Angry*Devil's Mind Slash, which drains 30% of health, is sufficient.”

Lin Da concluded in his mind.

Meanwhile, Bervis took a while to come back to reality when faced with his question.

The haughty look on the face of this Moon rank adventurer vanished, filled instead with shock… and deep envy.

Bervis had been proud of practicing Mountain Collapse Slash for over a decade, but placed in front of Lin Da's Magic Heart Slash, it was notably weaker.

If Lin Da was this powerful using this move at Star Rank, it was unimaginable what would happen if he reached Moon Rank.

Comparing the Zijing Stone Family with Lin Da's Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, in the short term, the latter indeed lagged far behind the century-long heritage of Zijing Stone.

Zijing Stone's financial power, in marriage negotiations, could present ten thousand Purple Gold Coins as a dowry.

But compared to Phoenix Tail Flower…

Bervis merely shook his head.

Aiko had already given away a complete set of level 40 Light Mage equipment.

In the future, she might even come back to steal from her own house because Lin Da had no money.

Then, there was a comparison between the members of the two sides.

The adventurers under the Zijing Stone Family numbered in the hundreds, while the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team had only five.

Despite this,

Bervis still believed that the Zijing Stone Family couldn't even compare to a single hair on Phoenix Tail Flower.

It wasn't just Lin Da's Twin Mana and Magic Heart Slash; every member of the Phoenix Tail Flower was extraordinary.

In the live coverage of the fifteenth-floor subjugation battle, [Frost Wolf] Lulu and [Earth Mage] Monica performed exceptionally well.

Thief Kafni was weak in battle but possessed a divine skill called “Super Theft” that even top adventure teams envied.

The silver-haired maid also had considerable strength. During the battle, Bervis had an intuition that Tasya was holding back, harboring some sort of power inside her that he dreaded.

However, what truly made Bervis decide to hand Aiko over to Lin Da was that deep, dark, world-devouring serpent-like sword light.

He believed Rocher would have made the same decision if he were here.

He gave Lin Da a hard time because he wanted to see how important his sister was to Lin Da.

Watching the members of the Snow Goose surrounding him, Bervis raised his hand and said, “I concede; take Aiko with you.”

Next to him, Aiko's face turned red, and she was a bit flustered.

Although many unexpected things had happened,

had this plan somehow succeeded in a haphazard way?

Bervis said, “You should make a decision now, should you stay by your companions' sides in White Dove City, or go back to Holy Rock? What are you really thinking? They are all waiting for your answer.”

Aiko's expression turned serious.

She looked towards the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

These people, knowing full well that Bervis was Moon rank, were still willing to come and take her back.

It was impossible not to be moved.

“I want to continue adventuring with them,” Aiko said solemnly.

Without this group of noisy guys, Aiko might have exploded with frustration that had nowhere to go.

Through this incident, Aiko finally understood.

She was also a member of the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

Bervis's gaze softened, and he shrugged nonchalantly, “I've really raised an ingrate, just get lost and don't come back.”

This time, Aiko didn't retort. After calming down and reflecting, she realized that everything Bervis did was to help her.

Without Bervis playing the “villain,” Lin Da would always treat her just as an old teammate.

“Thank you,” Aiko whispered in her heart.

At that moment, everyone cheered and swarmed around.

Chloe grasped her hand–“Aiko, welcome back!”

Oru laughed heartily, “With your magic support, Chloe and I can rest assured in the front lines.”

Klyne said, “Let's check out the new stores on the commercial street tomorrow.”

Lia remained silent, her gaze slightly hostile.

Aiko felt a bit awkward.

Overtaking on the inside and stealing Lin Da away.

Now the name of the “loser dog” fell on Lia's head.

This made Aiko even less dare to mention wanting to join Phoenix Tail Flower.

“That's fine, being with these fools is also good. Isa is Lin Da's Oath-bound, isn't she not in the same team?” Aiko thought silently that staying with Snow Goose would allow her to monitor Lia, preventing Lia from becoming Lin Da's Oath-bound.

Just imagining serving Lin Da alongside a fool like Lia made Aiko's toes curl in cringe.

Fools used over and again would surely infect her into becoming a fool too!

She might as well stay in Snow Goose to scout the enemy then.

With that thought, Aiko felt much better and said smilingly, “Aiko, officially back in the team!”

“Miss, Lin Da has succeeded, and he has gained another Oath-bound,”

said a Minotaur in a black suit, crouched in the bushes hundreds of meters away, speaking softly.
