The scorching summer wind blew in through the cracked French windows, and the cooling array increased its power, emitting a mournful howling sound.

Linda frowned, feeling a bit annoyed.

With a powerful demon adventurer group like the [Masked Ball] around, he had to reconsider his strategy for conquering the 20th level of the Great Mythic Dungeon.

The 20th floor, named the Ten Thousand Mountains, has a level range of 40-49 and is home to many legendary monsters.

Hell for the weak, paradise for the strong.

It's also the cradle of legendary equipment!

Once the Ten Thousand Mountains are opened, a certain number of legendary equipment items will definitely drop. Defeating the monster boss on the mountain will also yield generous rewards.

Like a beacon, it attracts adventurers like moths to a flame.

It was fraught with danger, but we had no choice but to go.

Starting from floor 20, the difficulty of the subsequent smaller dungeons increases exponentially.

Obtain resources from major dungeons, convert them into combat power, and then use them to break through minor dungeons.

This is a universal path, whether in a game world or a real alternate world.

Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Linda's eyes, Rochelle knew that he was not afraid, and nodded slightly, a hint of admiration rising in his heart.

Rochelle cautioned, "Linda, and Ike, listen carefully. When you go to the 20th floor, if you see an adventurer wearing a mask with a playing card pattern on his right cheek, don't act rashly."

Courage and recklessness are not the same thing.

When I see them, there's only one word: run.

Run as far as you can!

Based on my experience of exploring the 20th floor for over ten years, all adventurers who didn't learn how to escape died.

No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger than you.

[Masked Ball] Those bastards, even the lowest level among them is level 43.

Based on my personal experience, a vice-captain who uses a greatsword is at least level 46!

Moreover, that greatsword possessed an extremely powerful aura.

I chopped at it with my axe, and a nick appeared on the spot.

"It's impossible to do this without a legendary weapon."

Rochelle gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I'm deliberately praising that bastard, but objectively speaking, his strength is superior to yours and mine. Even if the Adventurers' Weekly Report were to rate him, he would get nine stars, or even close to ten stars."

The implication is that the vice-leader of the masquerade ball, like Linda, is a monster-level adventurer.

After a moment of silence, Linda nodded and said, "Commander Rohere, thank you for informing me."

"Don't call me 'Commander,' just call me by my name. We're both Moon Rank, so we can address each other as friends," Roger said, dissatisfied.

Linda:

Adventurers in the secret realm don't care much about seniority; those who have achieved the highest level are given priority. But for Linda, a transmigrator, being on friendly terms with her future father-in-law is indeed a bit awkward.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three walked out of the conference room side by side.

On her way downstairs, Linda rubbed her chin, secretly pondering the adventure group "Masquerade Ball".

There are no side quests in the game to defeat them.

In contrast, the Ghost Adventure Team and the Dragon's Tomb are different. The former is a minor side quest, while the latter is a main quest and both are part of the game content.

But Linda had played through the game dozens of times and still hadn't heard of any masked ball.

Just like how he only now realizes that Eko is a cunning schemer and Leah is a complete idiot.

It can be understood that the existence of the masquerade ball is a butterfly effect caused by his time travel.

"The vice-leader of the Masked Ball is a greatsword master of at least level 46."

And like me, they possess a legendary weapon, and their Adventurer's Weekly rating is also 'the same', nine stars.

I have no chance of winning unless I hit the target head-on with the third-level Demon Heart Slash.

Without a doubt, this person is a formidable opponent!

Linda felt a chill run down her spine.

The area surrounding White Dove City falls under the jurisdiction of Dragon's Rest Tomb, and this masquerade adventure group is no exception. It's highly likely they've already been targeted.

"I wonder how that deputy commander compares to Wogang. My personal guess is that his strength is probably not as great as Wogang's."

Recalling that brief encounter, Linda had to admit that she couldn't beat Wogang under normal circumstances. That little wolf king was high-level, had rich combat experience, and his talent and equipment were top-notch.

If the vice-leader of that masquerade ball had the strength of Wogan, let alone severing Rochelle's arm in three moves, Linda suspected that Rochelle would die in a single exchange.

Currently, there are still a little over two weeks until the 20th level of the Greater Rift opens.

Lindamo said that he needed to continue his training and master his rare skill.

The two major moves, Demon Flame Strike and Demon Heart Slash, still have room for improvement.

His swordsmanship was only at a passable level, relying entirely on his attribute values; he was far inferior to a swordsmanship master.

"We must take our opponents seriously, but we shouldn't underestimate ourselves. Facing the Masked Ball, the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team may not necessarily be at a disadvantage."

Linda advanced to the Moon Rank and mastered a powerful rare skill, as did his teammates.

Monica and the other two still have the power of the witch at their disposal.

Their fear of the masquerade ball wasn't to the point of being like a mouse seeing a cat.

However, it's best to avoid it if possible.

Keep quiet and cultivate your skills. Once the Phoenix Tail Flower's level is raised, the scales of advantage will tip.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the third floor.

Linda noticed that Xionghou and Zijingshi's group members had already left.

After meeting up with Bervis, the group went to the hall together.

"From this day forward, the Holy Rock and the Phoenix Flower Alliance will be each other's most steadfast allies!"

Rochelle stood on the high platform, his voice booming like a bell, making people's ears ring.

Upon hearing the meeting's outcome, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

Everyone knew that the real purpose of this meeting was for Lores and Xiongji to force Saint Rock to submit.
