Reinforcement?

Angus's eyelids twitched at the sound of Haibi's strange cry. The little fellow was speaking in Avis, meaning that if Linda were harmed, she would kill all the demons.

That's incredibly arrogant.

That fallen angel who led the Demon King's army single-handedly killed three legendary adventurers!

Thanks to the three legends who risked their lives, the residents of the capital were able to escape.

"Michelo-sama, Angelite-sama."

Angus closed his eyes in anguish.

The former is his family head and Miss Anna's adoptive father, while the latter is a highly prestigious princess in the capital and the youngest legendary magic swordsman on the secret realm continent.

No one expected that the four dukes would betray them all. The Bloodflame Duke and the Mountain Duke joined forces to break the barrier, open the gate, and let the Demon King's army into the city. The Thunder Duke launched a sneak attack on the treasure hall and stole a large number of rare resources.

Lord Lengyue left the capital and headed to Cangqing City, seemingly to cooperate with the demons in burning the Cangqing Tree.

There has never been a situation in history where the four dukes collectively rebelled.

The barrier failed, and the gate was wide open.

The royal family responded hastily.

When Angus left the capital, it was conservatively estimated that at least five legends had perished.

This number continues to increase.

The fallen angel leading the demon army was probably at the limit of the legendary rank; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to kill three legendary figures all by himself!

Despite the ferocity and terror of this figure, Haiby showed no fear whatsoever and even wanted to kill him. Angus sighed, thinking, "It's true what they say, a country bumpkin isn't afraid of succubi—this little OO has never seen the world."

"It's good that you have the intention! Don't worry, your father isn't in the capital, he's doing fine. Haibi, you need to grow up quickly, otherwise you won't be able to help your father."

"Pava, Pava!"

Haibi waved his little fist and said he wanted to become stronger.

Angus was greatly relieved: "I will do everything I can to help you. Let's go to the Elf Forest first; maybe we'll meet your father there."

"Wow! Wow wow wow!" Haibi shouted excitedly, tugging at Angus's beard.

With the capital city now fallen, there are two safest places on the Secret Realm Continent.

One of them is the Elf Forest.

Secondly, there is the far northern ice sheet.

The Arctic Plains have a natural barrier called the Broken Eagle Canyon, a place so impregnable that it has remained unconquered for tens of thousands of years.

However, the capital city is closer to the Elf Forest, so most of the refugees headed there.

That was also Linda's destination.

only.

Above the northern city wall of Cangqing City.

"Boss, what should we do? We're going to be killed by that wicked Lord Lengyue! I don't want to die, waaaah, boss, save me."

Tagore's bullying and cowardly nature was fully exposed. He was so scared that he tucked his tail between his legs and trembled while clutching his ears.

In contrast, Bai Luo, a little white cat, calmly considered a solution.

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

Ai Ke suggested trying to dig a tunnel, as there might be no underground barrier.

Isa proposed gathering space-type mages in the city and establishing a teleportation array.

Lia said, "Call all the Saint-level adventurers over and use their ultimate skills together."

Each solution has a certain degree of feasibility.

But Linda frowned and did not join the discussion.

Can the barrier erected by the legendary adventurer really be broken so easily?

Digging, teleportation arrays, forced breakthroughs... it all seems hopeless.

Linda has only one card left in her hand.

I am level 69, and the Dark Shadow I transform into is level 79.

Then, I will take another step forward and break through to the Saint rank.

Couldn't the transformed, pitch-black shadow reach the Law level?

Condensing the core of the law, all of the Dark Shadow's normal attacks and skills contain 80% true damage.

In addition, there's the Colossus of Laws.

There is still hope of breaking through the barrier.

The question is how to break through level 69 in the shortest amount of time.

Linda opened the experience points panel and glanced at it.

34.5 million / 100 million.

It takes 100 million experience points to level up.

The accumulated mystery points are only 30 million, which is not enough to solve the immediate problem.

Linda thought to herself, thankfully there's a second method.

Offering sacrifices to the statue of the goddess.

In the battle at Falling Dragon Mountain, after eliminating the demons who were burned to ashes, Linda obtained more than 200 demon horns, including those of five Heavenly Rank beings.

By sacrificing these demonic horns, the goddess will bestow upon you enough experience points to advance to the Heavenly Rank.

but.

The goddess statue can only be found in the Secret Realm Plaza and the Adventurers' Guild Hall.

Linda had to go to the city center.

Ice Abyss is there too.

Time passed by, second by second.

An even greater disaster could erupt in Cangqing City at any time.

Linda gripped the Dark Shadow trial card tightly in her hand.

It seems we have no choice but to take a gamble.

"Listen to me, everyone, I have a way to break the barrier."

Meeting the surprised gazes of Abner and the others, Linda said seriously, "But to implement my method, we must go to the goddess statue."

"This is too dangerous! Isn't Lord Leng Yue a traitor? You'll be discovered if you go!" Lia said, "Let's use my method and gather adventurers of Saint rank or above from Azure City to attack the barrier together!"

"There's no hope. No matter how many Saint-level beings there are, it won't bring about a qualitative change."

The two argued back and forth.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

The afternoon sunlight was still quite sufficient, and the sunset clouds were a magnificent red. But in just a short moment, the barrier above Cangqing City transformed into a huge "Starry Sky Dome".

Darkness descended upon the earth, and the magical streetlights illuminated the streets.

People looked up in surprise and doubt, only to see twinkling stars above the barrier, and a round moon the size of a millstone in the center.
