Attack speed, agility, and survivability are visibly improved.
Roughly calculated, it's half a grade higher.
It used to be an orange-tier monster, but now it needs to be half the strength of an epic one-star monster.
Lia asked herself honestly, even though her fire-type is super effective against grass-type, she was only confident that she could handle two of them.
But the adventurer below, who was being attacked by the Saw Mushroom, was actually facing six of them at the same time and seemed to be handling them with ease.
That's way too strong!
Lia felt a little happy; if she could cooperate with the other party, the next month would be much easier.
But as the saying goes, "One should always be wary of others."
Leah didn't jump out rashly; instead, she hid in a tree to observe and see who the other party was.
"Eeya ya~!"
A blood-red saw mushroom charged at the adventurer, only to be sliced in two with a single backhand slash.
The thick skin of the Demon Saw Mushroom was as fragile as a disposable stocking sold for 5 copper coins at a street stall under that person's hands.
Leah had bought it once, but felt it was not cost-effective and never bought it again. However, seeing the adventurer slicing the Demon Saw Mushroom like it was nothing, she couldn't help but think of that useless black stocking worth 5 copper coins.
"A Star Rank can't be that strong, right?"
"They're too far away; the aura is barely perceptible. If I had to guess... it should be a Moon-rank!"
Leah thought in surprise.
Upon closer inspection, the besieged adventurer had a pair of large orange ears on his head and a thick, furry tail on his back.
He was dressed in black leather armor and held a short knife in each hand.
"A fox-type beastman, a Moon-rank assassin?"
Leah made a rough guess in her mind.
In just one minute, the fox had killed all six Saw Mushrooms.
After cleaning up his spoils, the fox suddenly turned around and looked in Leah's direction.
"Hiding in the shadows to observe others is a very impolite behavior."
The fox's voice was clear and crisp as it took out a handkerchief and wiped the demonic filth off the dagger.
Then he twirled the knife and stylishly tucked it into the pouch at his waist.
"Oh, then I'll come out."
Leah cautiously emerged from the tree.
The two sides approached each other.
They sized each other up.
Leah's nervousness contrasted sharply with the fox's composure.
Why a pure-blooded orc...?
Lia felt bitter inside.
If it's a human at the Moon rank, they're generally easier to talk to.
However, orcs are generally volatile or treacherous; the phrase "to seek help from a tiger" perfectly describes cooperating with them. If it weren't for the impending awakening of the Demon King, forcing all adventurers to unite, the territorial conflict between humans and orcs would likely continue.
"The Slayer, Fox?"
"Miss Lia of Xueyan?"
Both sides recognized each other's names.
She knew Fox because he was quite eccentric, described by the White Dove Morning Post as 'an adventurer more dangerous than monsters'.
They enjoy capturing their prey and torturing them severely, making them feel utterly hopeless, before finally killing them.
He has a terrible personality.
