Chapter 656: Healthy Body
Chapter 656: Healthy Body
【Healthy Body - Significantly enhances resistance to various diseases.】
Linsey was leading the insectoid soldiers in a sweep of the labyrinth, targeting the Deviators.
The Legion Commanders had been engaged in an intense battle for two days.
Although they didn't achieve overwhelming success, they managed to disperse the Deviators throughout the labyrinth.
And then, Linsey became the overwhelming variable.
With him leading the offense, the swarm individuals provided support.
The Deviator groups, isolated within the labyrinth, crumbled like a hillside in a rainstorm.
As Linsey cleared out the enemies, good news kept coming his way.
First, there was his recently acquired Hero Panel.
With the vast experience gained from slaughtering Deviators, his hero level rapidly rose, now reaching level 4.
The three minor skills before the ultimate skill were all unlocked.
And all three of Linsey's skills were passive! Especially since the Hero Panel didn't occupy a slot in the game module, he could maintain this enhancement at all times.
In other words, it was like an Essence Advancement, a permanent enhancement!
Linsey experienced the passive skill's enhancement while checking his Hunting Notes.
【Healthy Body】 appeared before him.
This was a rather challenging achievement.
Compared to other hunting targets, reaching the 3rd level for Deviators required an even more outrageous number of kills.
After this expedition and the sweep of the Underground Fortress, Linsey finally met the kill count for the new level.
"Healthy Body?"
"It doesn't provide a fear aura, but instead enhances resistance to diseases?"
Linsey fell into deep thought.
His skill system always had a sense of correlation and design.
Based on his experience, he thought of something.
In the Hunting Notes, 【Deviators】 were categorized separately.
However, when it came to fear aura rewards, 【Deviators】 might have been classified under the broader category of 【Humans】. Unless Linsey's human kill count reached the 3rd level, he wouldn't possess a fear aura of this type.
"..."
"I have no intention of becoming a human butcher."
"Healthy Body... Well, at least it can counter the Deviators' Corrupting Venom."
Linsey analyzed the skill's description in his mind.
In reality, he casually swung his sword, and the Flame Blade cleared out the Deviators in the cave.
Linsey took out the item reward from the achievement.
【Potion: Body Reconstruction Potion x3】
【After drinking this potion, the consumer's body will be immediately cleansed of diseases and negative effects, and broken limbs will be reconstructed, restoring the body to a complete state. This potion cannot restore Essence or save those near death.】
【A precious bodily restoration potion, of high value.】
The description alone was enough to convey the potion's worth.
Regeneration of severed limbs.
Treatment of diseases and negative effects.
Even if it couldn't instantly restore one's health like the Senzu Beans, the value of the Body Reconstruction Potion was undeniable.
Linsey carefully placed the three potions in his bag.
At that moment, he also reached the northernmost part of the labyrinth.
Instead of continuing to clear out the Deviators, Linsey changed direction, rushing out of the labyrinth in pursuit.
The members of the Fourteenth Legion.
They had been defeated by the ancient Deviators and taken captive outside the outer labyrinth.
With the enemies in the labyrinth mostly cleared out and the Underground Fortress no longer in danger, Linsey naturally wanted to track them down and rescue these loyal subordinates.
Linsey set off alone, driven by the pursuit of speed. With the aid of the strategic map, he scouted the area, pinpointing the location of the captured warriors, who stood out like torches in the darkness. Not only could he track them with precision, but he also anticipated the number of enemies.
There were 21 low-phase Deviators responsible for transporting the captives. At the rear of the group, a lone enemy, seemingly the leader of this operation, stood out.
"This time, I might try to capture one of them alive," Linsey thought to himself.
As he raced forward, an idea struck him. He had learned that among the attackers were some Deviators who had revived from ancient times.
The past was different from the present. Hilda had also regained her fifth-stage skills. Even if these enemies refused to speak, once they were sent back to Forest City, the writer girl would surely extract useful information from them!
Two hours later, Linsey's sprinting figure came to a halt in the pitch-black underground tunnel. Before him stood a slightly frail-looking human, right in the center of the underground cave's space.
"You're here," the Deviator said.
"So, that idiot, Rochi, has been dealt with by you?" Linsey asked.
The Deviator's pale face showed no emotion, as if he were merely stating a fact.
Linsey responded with a taunt, "More or less, as you say."
"But let me add something—I killed him so thoroughly that the chances of his resurrection are absolutely zero."
"You, who use the Corrupting Venom, should know what that means."
The Deviator fell silent.
"You've returned just in time," he sighed.
He showed no concern for his companion's death, instead slowly raising his finger and pointing it at Linsey, "I thought that your sudden departure prompted this attack, but..."
Whoosh!
His words were cut short as he feigned his action and speech. As he raised his hand, a white finger bone shot out from the tip of his extended finger.
The Deviator was giving it his all against Linsey!
The finger bone shot towards Linsey, and just as it was about to hit him, it suddenly exploded, releasing a cloud of pale, sickly mist into the air! However, what happened next exceeded the Deviator's calculations.
Bang! Linsey charged forward without hesitation!
The Deviator attempted to alter the terrain to hinder Linsey's advance, but the man forcefully pushed through the toxic bone powder.
Linsey neither dodged nor evaded, enduring the Corrupting Venom as he instantly closed the distance between them.
Immune to the Corrupting Venom? Is this guy a fifth-stage Awakened? The Deviator realized his mistake in judging the battle.
He attempted to manipulate his essence to forcibly activate his skills, just like his companion.
But in the heat of high-speed combat, a single second of hesitation could be fatal.
Before he could fully manipulate his essence, a sword blade engulfed in intense fire descended upon his head.
Boom! The flame blade split the Deviator's body in two.
As he tried to repair his body, a weakening feeling from the depths of his soul stopped him.
"My soul... My soul!" he cried.
"What have you done to my soul?"
Linsey kicked the enemy's body back together and pulled out a thick club. "Don't scream."
"I have some good news—you won't die here today."
