"You, are you sick?! You want to murder me?!" Leah's head was turned back, and her legs, clad in black over-the-knee socks, kicked wildly, like a helpless and furious grasshopper strung on a straw.
Linda led the fluttering young lady to the back row and said to Chrona, "You hold off the monsters until I get back!"
Chrona's eyes lit up, and she patted her chest, her steel armor clanking as she said, "Leave it to me!"
The feeling of being asked to do this by Linda was like a powerful healing spell, instantly energizing Chrona.
Linda had her own ideas: once the Crimson Crab King used [Thousand Army Rout], it wouldn't use [Death Crab Scissors] for a while, and Chrona could withstand the monster's normal attacks.
He needs to use this precious time to rest and recuperate.
Linda was completely absorbed in thought when suddenly a strong wind blew in his face, and something soft covered his face with a slap, plunging him into darkness.
In the back row, Oru and Phyllis awkwardly glanced at the Red-Armored Crab King, while the girls all looked surprised.
It turns out that what was covering Linda's face was Lia's short skirt that had been blown up by the wind!
"Um, that bear-patterned underwear that only kindergarten kids wear, is it Lia's? I always thought it was Chrona's..."
Ai Ke thought to herself, speechless.
"What happened?"
Leah suddenly felt a chill beneath her. She was being carried on Linda's shoulder, and when she tried to turn her head, her little face flushed red, like a monkey's bottom.
"Let me go! Put me down!"
After a violent struggle, Leah managed to land, covering her skirt in shame and anger, "You...saw it?"
Linda nodded: "My eyes are fine."
Classic brown bear pattern.
Linda had absolutely no interest in this childish stuff. Glancing at Krona, who was fighting the Crimson Crab King, he ate a life potion and cast a healing spell and Azure Shield on himself.
Then, he walked towards the monster with his sword.
His voice drifted to Lia behind him: "Do you want to repeat the same mistakes and end up like you were on the second level of the World Tree?"
Leah's expression froze, she clenched her fists and said, "No... Ah, I just wanted to help you."
“But you’ll only make things worse,” Linda said bluntly.
"What? Can't you see how much damage I dealt? The biggest gap in that Red Armor Crab King's body was from me!"
Leah was furious with Linda.
She made such great efforts and contributions, why can't Linda see them and still treat her as a stupid idiot who only drags her down?
Linda's voice was indifferent: "If you can't even withstand one of the Red Armor Crab King's skills, then don't bother coming to the front to join the fun. Krona and I are enough."
Leah was indignant and wanted to argue with Linda, but Eko grabbed her hand and frowned as she criticized her:
"Don't be impulsive. Continuing like this will only disrupt Linda's battle plan."
"You also think I'm making things worse?"
No, that's not it.
Aiko knew how to soothe a powder keg: "But nobody wants to see the captain get hurt, and Linda probably feels the same way. Having you follow orders from the back is to protect you, okay?"
"Linda...protect me?"
Leah was shocked.
He lowered his head, lost in thought.
Ai Ke curled the corners of her lips and thought to herself: What an easy-to-understand elementary school student.
However, Linda has indeed changed.
They actually called Leah a flying creature.
Ai Ke always felt that Linda seemed to be plotting something.
'Could it be that they want to cultivate her independence as a team leader?'
Ai Ke pondered to herself.
...
On the other side, Linda finished chanting the incantation.
He opened his left hand and threw a venom orb, which hit the Red-Armored Crab King in the face.
Krona was focused on defense, and when he inflicted damage, the Red-Armored Crab King immediately shifted its attention to him.
As a high-level monster, the Red-Armored Crab King is no less intelligent than a human child, and can tell who the leader of this group of adventurers is.
Only Linda could withstand all its attacks.
The number of replies is also high.
Take this one out first; the rest are no threat.
Although Linda doesn't have a taunt skill to draw monster aggro, she successfully attracted the Red-Armored Crab King thanks to her extremely high health and recovery rate.
Under Linda's meticulous control, the battle entered a repetitive phase.
He draws enough aggro, allowing the team members to deal damage and reduce the Red-Armored Crab King's health.
Then the team stopped firing, and he continued to use Venom Orb and Healing Spell to draw aggro.
After several rounds of attacks, the Red-Armored Crab King's health dropped to 40,000, and it was forced into the second phase.
Linda seemed to see the dawn of victory right before her eyes, and shouted excitedly, "Everyone, do as I just said!"
In its second phase, the Red-Armored Crab King will summon the Killer Crab and strengthen it.
Upgrade it to level 20; it will have the attributes of a blue rare-level monster.
Linda gathered all the monsters together and wiped them out in one go!
The Red-Armored Crab King unleashed a powerful shockwave, forcing members of both teams to retreat more than thirty meters away.
Then, the Red-Armored Crab King looked up and let out a strange hissing sound.
The ground around them bulged up, and killer crabs emerged one by one.
Their eyes glowed crimson, their claws suddenly expanded several times over, and their aura surged wildly.
The extremely agile Kaphni and the nimble-footed Lia became the two best performers.
Under Linda's command, they gathered the killer crabs into a group.
The two mages, Monica and Echo, chanted incantations in unison.
