Meanwhile, Leah, who had been in a state of enlightenment, returned to human form as if she had been carved from stone, and said happily, "I have completely mastered the Starfire Stream Slash, which is much stronger than the Blazing Flame Slash!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a ball of golden light floated up to his head.

Leah blinked, bewildered.

This is a divine gift from the World Tree Goddess.

Did Linda and her team take care of the snake-man chieftain?

That's quite fast.

It seems that she's not the only one who's gotten stronger; Linda and Tasia are no weaker than her either.

Just as they were marveling at this, the golden ball of light descended.

Leah groaned softly, tensing her body, not wanting to make an embarrassing sound.

With the infusion of divine power, Leah jumped from level 30, where her battle aura was completely empty, to level 32, and her battle aura recovered to about 70%!

Even Tasia has leveled up from level 34 to level 35, taking another step closer to the Moon Rank.

Bathed in golden light, Linda seemed to be irrigated by spring rain and let out a comfortable hum.

A system voice sounded in his ear:

[Join other adventurers to defeat the level 31 epic two-star monster, the Three-Headed Serpent Chieftain, and receive the Goddess of the World Tree, which will be converted into 200,000 personal experience points!]

[You have leveled up, from 32 to 33!]

Strength +100, Magic Power +100, Defense +30, Magic Defense +40, Agility +20, Health +800

[Current Experience/]

Linda already possessed abundant magic power, and with his level increasing to 33, he was directly at full magic power, becoming energetic and vibrant.

The only regret is that we couldn't finish off the snake chieftain with a last-hit kill.

The situation was urgent, and it wasn't the time to secure a kill; his burst damage was far inferior to Tasia's.

Now, I've leveled up to 33, Lia to 32, Tasia to 35, and we still have 50 Dark Fruits.

Even when faced with the harsh climates of the closed, secret realm, they now possess the power to cope.

For the first time, Linda felt relaxed.

With Tasia and Lia by his side, and Lulu and Monica still missing outside, his heart was constantly in turmoil.

Only now do we have the luxury of catching our breath.

Linda snapped out of her thoughts and headed towards the small mountain of loot dropped by the snake-man chieftain.

Lia and Tasia followed.

The three of them looked at it together.

At the top of the small mountain of gold coins, there was an orange piece of equipment and two dark purple pieces of equipment.

The deep purple light transformed into tiny beams of light, within which cool magical particles floated.

The light will only dim when adventurers pick them up and connect them to a magic circuit.

"Two...two epic-level items!" Leah exclaimed. "This is incredible luck!"

Epic monsters don't necessarily drop epic equipment; this is common knowledge for adventurers.

Whether you get a drop, and how many items you get, depends entirely on luck.

Linda, however, gave Liya a cold look.

They rushed out without permission to confront the snake-man chieftain.

Although the outcome is good, Kalia's fate would be quite different if she couldn't awaken Starfire Stream Slash.
