A deafening explosion rang out across the wilderness.

A burst of blue fireworks erupted from where Bovis was located.

This is a rare skill that Tasia learns after reaching level 40, called [Deadly Combo]. It enhances the next three normal attacks. If all three hit, it will trigger a violent explosion with true damage.

"Watch out, everyone!"

Linda activated her twin magic and roared.

I didn't see any damage figures in that firework display!

A stone armor, shattered into pieces, fell to the ground.

Bervis wiped his sweat and walked out, his face pale.

If it weren't for this epic three-star [Stone Helmet Substitute] scroll, the explosion just now would definitely have rendered him unable to fight.

A Moon-rank ranged archer is too much of a threat.

This must be addressed as a priority!

"Mountain-Shattering Slash!"

He condensed earth-elemental battle aura and gathered sand and dust onto his sword, then suddenly released it—a strike capable of shattering even giant rocks!

Bovis lowered his body, aimed his longsword at Tasia's chest, and shot out like a tightly wound spring.

For ranged classes, the battle is over once they are caught in melee range.

Bovis's Mountain Crash Slash, combined with the Earth Sword enhanced by rare skills, makes him a killer of fragile characters.

During his adventure in the 20th level of the Great Mythic+ dungeon, he used this trick to unexpectedly kill several demons, cut off their horns, and hung them in the living room as decorations.

In theory, the force of this attack should have been enough to make Tasia back down, feel fear, or even beg for mercy.

For some reason, the silver-haired maid in the sky looked at him with a mocking gaze, her pink lips parted.

Although he was far away and couldn't hear clearly, Bervis could guess what the maid was saying by reading her lip movements.

[Idiot!]

"What?"

Bervis was taken aback, and a surge of anger suddenly welled up inside him.

This wretched brown-skinned maid is even better at sarcasm than the pink-haired loli.

His Mountain-Shattering Slash can even shatter giant rocks; what can ranged maids possibly use to block it?

Originally, he only intended to teach the other party a lesson, but now, Bovis has changed his mind and wants to send Tasia to bed for a few months.

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, Bovis arrived at the vertical position below. Although his battle aura wings were destroyed, he relied on the powerful physical explosive force of a Moon-rank swordsman to jump to a height of thirty or forty meters and hit Tasia without any problem.

Bervis assumed a deep squatting posture, his body seemingly transforming into a spring, gathering strength.

In just a third of a second, he could soar into the sky and shoot that wretched maid down.

When that third of a second had just passed halfway.

A chill ran down Bovis’s back.

It was like when I was a child, slacking off during training and getting distracted, my small body was suddenly covered by a huge figure behind me.

Cold sweat covered my entire body.

But this time, behind Bovis was not his father carrying a wooden stick.

Bervis turned his head and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

What I saw was a longsword burning with black flames.

Flames shot into the sky, like a giant fire serpent, writhing and twisting, its mouth wide open, rushing upwards as if to devour the sky.

It looks eerie no matter how you look at it.

This isn't like the moves of a normal adventurer!

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the magic within is composed of healing and poison elements, making it a move that wouldn't pose any problem if used by the Imperial Knights.

If Bervis hadn't known who the young man was, he would most likely have suspected that the other party was a demon clan cadre.

I saw it once during the fifteenth floor raid.

At that time, Linda could only summon a fifteen-meter-long sword beam.

The black flame greatsword that appeared before Bovis was a full thirty meters long.

"Is this a Star-Rank technique that can be used?"

Bervis felt like his head was leaking air, and cold air was blowing into it.

The threat posed by that thirty-meter-long greatsword was no less than that of Tasia's deadly series of explosions.

The problem is that the latter is a rare skill at the Moon rank, but Linda only has the Star rank.

"It's bigger than when it was fifteen stories high."

Leah's mouth gaped slightly, and she asked in surprise.

She originally thought that if she awakened another 10% or 20% of her Starfire Battle Qi, she could be comparable to or even surpass Linda.

But the evolved Black Flame Greatsword dealt Lia a heavy blow.

Only perceptive adventurers like Eko and Tasia noticed that Linda's presence had become extremely faint.

Condensing this black flame greatsword consumed a lot of Linda's strength!

This is the new use that comes after [Demon Heart Slash] reaches its maximum level.

Consuming 90% of his maximum health, he unleashed a deadly strike with a demonic will!

Twenty meters away, Linda swung her black flame greatsword and slashed at Bovis.

The sky, which had just brightened, darkened instantly.

A crescent-shaped sword beam, thirty meters high, shot out, gliding across the sea like the fin of a giant shark. Wherever it passed, the compacted soil turned into delicate cream cakes, and with a gentle touch, the sword beam created trenches in the ground.

The Demon Heart Slash, carrying a terrifying aura that could obliterate everything, engulfed Bovis.

The wilderness was silent, like a frozen moment in an adventure video.

Even the dung beetle couple who were carrying dung balls on the ground stopped what they were doing, trembling and crouching low to avoid being spotted by Linda.

If Linda's Demon Heart Slash during the fifteenth floor raid was still within the scope of a Star-rank adventurer, then this Death*Demonic Heart Slash could truly defeat a Moon-rank adventurer.

Aiko asked in a trembling voice, "Linda...you wouldn't have killed Bovis, would you?"

If I had to choose between Bervis and Linda, I would choose the latter without hesitation, but if I had to choose between Bervis and the dung beetle couple who were rolling dung balls, I think I would choose Bervis.
