However, once you understand the characteristics of the Thousand-Faced Demon, you can easily solve the problem.

All members should hold back their ultimate moves and wait for the Thousand-Faced Demon to trigger its talent skill revival within 10 seconds, then take it all down in one go.

The biggest challenge lies in determining when the Thousand-Faced Demon's health drops below 20% to activate its skill, Resurrection.

This skill has no warning signs or external effects, and adventurers cannot detect anything unusual whether they observe with their naked eyes or use their mental senses.

However, Linda's skill [Eye of Truth] allows you to see the damage and healing numbers.

When the revival begins, the Thousand-Faced Demon will slowly regenerate health.

When green text appears above its head, it's time for everyone to unleash their ultimate moves and focus fire!

Linda knew that time was of the essence.

If the White Dove Adventurer Group defeats the Thousand-Faced Demon too quickly and reduces its health to 20%, it will be too late.

He fought his way through the enemy lines until he reached a protruding hillside.

Beyond that, another 5,000 meters ahead, lies the heart of the Qingfeng River beach.

We were about to cross the hillside.

Suddenly, a powerful aura of battle qi forced Linda to stop in his tracks.

The wind's fighting spirit transformed into energy bullets, which, with a series of clattering sounds, landed in front of Linda, drawing a straight line, like a death zone.

On the hillside, a silver-haired woman stood calmly.

Her long maid dress fluttered in the wind, revealing only a slender calf encased in white stockings.

Her skin was an unusual brown, full of exotic mystery, and she carried a magic cannon that looked like a Gatling gun.

The woman's features were exquisite, like those in a video game CG. She had delicate, thin eyebrows, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, and thin lips, as if carved by a knife, like a foreign snow lotus growing in a thicket of thorns.

It is beautiful, but it is fraught with danger. If you get too close, you will be riddled with holes like the ground and turned into a human sieve by magic cannons.

Linda gazed at the silver-haired maid on the hillside, feeling a sense of disorientation as if her fantasy had come to life.

When two-dimensional paper figures are brought to life as real people, they can achieve an almost 100% level of realism!

Whether it's that cynical look at trash or that indifferent yet irresistibly alluring aura, it's exactly the same as in the game.

【Storm】Tasia.

Linda was one of the first four-star characters to be kicked out of the team!

"Your Excellency, what does this mean?"

Linda looked at the straight line fired from the magic cannon in front of her and asked calmly.

Now, he has essentially gone from being the captain of another adventure team, having mysteriously disappeared for three years without saying goodbye.

His strength is also much weaker than during his time as the Dark Shadow.

What will Tasia, who is now a higher level than him, think? Will she, like Lulu, have already turned her affection into hatred and is preparing to tear him to pieces...?

Thinking of this, Linda's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Captain?" Monica didn't recognize Tasia. The socially awkward little girl spent most of her time in the warehouse, and many of the team members didn't even know she existed.

Kaphni also sensed that Linda was acting strangely, as if she knew that arrogant maid.

"A star-level adventurer's thigh must be very tempting! I didn't realize you had such good connections!" Kaphni patted Linda's shoulder with a smile, patting her with extra force.

Tap tap tap!

Suddenly, the magical bullets came again, and Linda and her group dodged them in a flurry, almost dancing-like manner.

Fortunately, Tasia only made a threat and had no real intention of harming them.

Even so, Linda and her group were in a very sorry state.

Clumsy Monica clung to Linda's back like a sloth, while Kaphni was so angry she jumped up and down, cursing loudly:

"You damn woman, are you out of your mind? Can't you see the adventurer badges of White Dove City on our chests?"

Tasia's gaze was cold: "It's the same for every squad, no matter where they are. Leave, or die."

It was only then that everyone noticed that on Tasia's towering chest was the emblem of an Iron-class adventurer's guild, with a red heart-shaped background.

"The adventure team from Red Heart City?" Kaphni realized her mistake and corrected herself, "With the monster tide raging, all the adventure teams from all the cities are allies, right? We have important business to attend to, so please make way!"

Tasia remained unmoved, holding the magic cannon, her eyes as calm as still water.

“Davin’s instructions were to forbid anyone from crossing the hillside,” she said calmly.

Tasia had been wandering for over a year, but Davin still paid her in full and did not hold her accountable for violating the contract.

Tasia noted down this favor.

Even if the Ghost Adventurers arrive, she will do everything in her power to stop them.

“We have important news that we need to bring to the front,” Linda said in a deep voice. “Or, we can give the news to you and have you take it there.”

Tasia remained unmoved.

"My job is to stop anyone, nothing more."

Having said that, she returned to being a stone statue. It seemed that as long as the three members of the Phoenix Flower group didn't cross that line, whatever they did was none of her business.

Kaphni's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety: "I think you really are a bit sick! The Thousand-Faced Demon, that Red-Armored Crab King, it's the Thousand-Faced Demon! The White Dove Adventure Team, and your teammates, will all be caught off guard and capsize!"

He thought that these few words would be enough to get the silver-haired maid to take him seriously and change her attitude completely, treating him as an honored guest.

Kaphni hadn't expected that Tasia's face would reveal such a chilling indifference, her thin lips parting slightly, her tone and words as if she were talking about someone completely unrelated to her:

"—They're all dead, so what does that have to do with me?"

...
