Upon advancing to the Star Rank Mage level, the original three-meter-long giant hammer of light expanded to five meters.

The hammer handle is engraved with many mysterious magical runes. The front of the hammer is flat and heavy, while the back has a conical tip. The hammer is surrounded by a circle of totems depicting angels kneeling and worshipping the holy light.

If you listen carefully, you can even catch a trace of solemn music, as if an angel residing in the hammer is singing!

As the Holy Hammer flew towards them, a look of seriousness appeared in Xi'ou's eyes.

The music enhances this concentration of holy light, a concentration that only the most gifted members of the Holy Light Church can possess.

Unlike the impoverished Lia, Eiko was already wearing a full set of level 30 orange equipment on the very day she advanced to the Star Rank.

Others couldn't tell because Aiko was a low-key person, and all her magical equipment was stored in her spatial ring.

She wore a white silk dress, her clothes were clean and without any extra accessories, and at first glance, she looked like a simple and honest older sister next door.

A sly smile played on Aiko's lips—she had deliberately held back, letting Theo lower his guard. Only when Lulu arrived and, together with Lia, completely distracted Theo did she unleash her full power.

Standing at a distance, Linda raised an eyebrow. This magical aura was far beyond what an ordinary star-rank mage could possess.

The unassuming Ai Ke is actually the strongest player in both of their teams.

Even if Lulu doesn't activate her witch form, she's probably no match for Eiko!

When the Holy Hammer was unleashed, all the adventurers watching from Red Heart City and White Dove City held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

Even when the dryness is unbearable, I don't want to blink, for fear of missing any details.

"You damned mage, just you wait!"

With a roar, Western Europe was slammed into the ground by the massive holy hammer, like a nail driven in without a handle.

After the muffled, loud noise, only a large, sunken crater remained on the field, with no trace of Western Europe to be found.

"Is it resolved?" Leah cautiously approached the large pit.

"Wait, let's do it again." Eko was worried that the other party was still alive, so she chanted another Holy Hammer.

"No, that would be terrible if we killed someone."

As Lia spoke, she took only a couple of steps forward when suddenly, a dark shadow shot out of the crater!

The dark figure brushed past her, her long red hair whipped violently by the strong wind.

"Ahhh!"

With his head bleeding and his eyes burning with rage, Xi'ou unleashed all his fighting spirit and charged towards Aiko.

Lulu and Lia were both stunned for a moment, and by the time they realized what was happening, they could no longer catch up with Western Europe.

Eiko remained expressionless. After finishing the chanting of the Holy Hammer, she predicted and released it in front of her.

If Western Europe dares to attack her, they will have to endure a holy hammer blow.

"Hahaha, you've fallen for my trap! This is my attack route!"

Unexpectedly, Xi'ou laughed loudly. When the Holy Hammer had taken shape and could no longer be moved significantly, Xi'ou twisted his body forcefully and charged towards Linda.

How could Xi'ou not see that Linda was the core of the team? Injuring Linda would be more effective than attacking any of them.

"You three brats, just watch as I beat your men to a pulp! Hahahaha!"

Xiou rushed in front of Linda, his double hammers carrying a fierce, cold wind as he smashed them towards Linda's shoulders!

Although Western Europe deliberately avoided vital points, Lin's defense was not up to the Star Rank. If the blow landed squarely, his hands would probably be ruined, and he would need several years to recover.

"Venom erupts!"

Linda reacted extremely quickly, and a small purple magic circle appeared in her palm. Like a water pipe spraying, purple venom sprayed all over Xi'ou's face.

The barrier was corroded, emitting a harsh hissing sound.

"This little bit of poison is useless!"

Western Europe braced themselves against the barriers, offering no defense whatsoever, and unleashed a devastating sledgehammer!

Everyone present felt their hearts leap into their throats, and even Chrona and the others in the distance instinctively looked over in their direction.

Monica turned pale with fright, and dropped her staff on the ground.

Having taken the direct hit from Western Europe, no one dared to guarantee that Linda was safe.

At this moment, Linda's face was ashen. In his vision, Xi'ou grinned and opened his tiger's mouth, blood streaming down his face and seeping into his teeth along his lips.

Rather than an adventurer, he was more like an untamed, bloodthirsty beast.

"Blind shot!"

As two large hammers slammed down on him, Linda sensed the danger. Every muscle tensed, and his thoughts became increasingly clear.

He first quickly chanted the Dark Whip, which entangled the Western European hammer, reducing the opponent's attack power, and then used the royal sword as a shield to block in front of him.

Having done all this, the Western European hammer slammed into his emerald shield.

Linda felt a strong tremor, and every muscle in her body lost sensation. Her ears were ringing, as if she had gone deaf.

The verdant shield shattered in less than half a second, and the Western European hammer struck his life barrier.

The source core in the mental world trembled, and a sharp pain was transmitted to Linda's brain. Her internal organs felt as if they had been stepped on by a succubus with a black pointed high heel.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was also knocked back five meters away by the attack from the Western European.

"Basic Healing Technique".

The moment Linda flew out, she immediately cast a healing spell on herself, restoring her health from 5000 to 7500.

"You're all alright?"

The expressions on Western European faces kept changing.

Just as he was about to continue the pursuit, he suddenly sensed three intense killing intents behind him.

That was the kind of fighting spirit that adventurers displayed when confronting monsters, or monsters when confronting adventurers, as they risked their lives.

Even when he attacked Linda, he still knew to show mercy and not take her life.
