"Group Healing!"
Linda raised her longsword high, conjuring a verdant magic circle.
Under the healing spell, the skeleton soldier seemed to be burned by flames, his body writhing in pain.
One by one, the bones fell away, gradually turning to ash and disappearing.
This was already the umpteenth time Linda had used the [Group Healing] spell.
It is useful.
But it's not exactly very useful.
It's like using a spoon to scoop out a piece of water from a basin.
It has an effect, but it's not obvious.
The skeleton soldiers were so numerous that they almost filled the entire cave.
The rustling sound of bones rubbing together was like a continuous downpour.
Linda created an opening with a group healing spell, but it was quickly closed.
Harus summoned skeleton soldiers as quickly as someone who had been holding in their poop for ages, only to find it was watery after squatting down – it just came out in a flash.
The fact that Herous can summon so many skeletons shows that he has plenty of resources; he probably digs up people's ancestral graves when he's bored in the middle of the night.
Some of the skeleton soldiers wielded longswords with blunt blades, some used rusty spears, and others carried farm tools such as pitchforks or sickles – these were the “skeletal villagers.”
Their combat power is not strong; they only dealt -3 damage to Linda's life barrier.
They couldn't withstand the enemy's superior numbers.
Suddenly, a cold wind swept in from behind.
Linda was stunned, realizing with astonishment that she had only noticed when the other party got close.
Nearly an hour has passed since the battle began after we entered this cave.
During that hour, Linda's magic and physical strength were severely depleted.
The former is manageable; Linda brought a bunch of mana-restoring potions, so if it doesn't work, just drink them. The damage to the mana circuits can be healed slowly in the future.
However, physical exertion is difficult to replenish quickly. The Earth Dragon Longsword in Linda's hand became heavy, like a giant pillar, no longer as easy as when she fought Rhodes.
Linda didn't have time to turn around and swing her sword, so she used her emerald shield to take the hit head-on.
With a clang, the tall skeleton warrior fell backward, his greatsword shattering in his hand.
But Linda also staggered back a few steps.
He held his knees, his hands and legs trembling slightly.
Linda's only feeling right now is exhaustion!
If he had a soft, big bed, he could sleep for three days and three nights straight!
His lungs expanded to their maximum capacity with each breath, yet he still felt breathless. Despite his full health and thick emerald shield, his body was gradually losing its ability to fight.
A pack of skeletal dogs barked wildly around Linda. Seeing that Linda remained unmoved, the soul fire behind their eyes suddenly turned blood red, and they howled and opened their mouths to bite Linda.
The verdant shield flickered repeatedly, like the surface of a lake being battered by a torrential rain.
Linda watched helplessly as the skeleton dogs attacked her, but she did not draw her sword.
A strange look flashed in his eyes as he thought: So much time has passed and Bai Luo still hasn't arrived; something must have happened to him.
Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to use our last trump card.
Bang!
The emerald shield was repeatedly struck by the skeleton dogs and soldiers, making a loud noise, and its color changed from emerald green to transparent.
Linda looked up at the skeleton soldiers lying outside the barrier, staring at her like hungry beasts.
He took out a bottle of dark red potion from his spatial ring.
The medicine was contained in a long, narrow crystal test tube. The liquid inside was extremely viscous, bubbling and churning like a small pool of lava.
This is an item that Linda selected along with other equipment when she bought it from the merchant.
[Item: Berserk Potion]
[Quality: Epic]
[Suitable for adventurers below level 40]
[Effect: Instantly restores 30% of mana, 30% of battle aura, and 30% of stamina, and increases stats by 10% for 3 minutes.]
A bottle of incredibly powerful magic potion.
Similarly, the aftereffects are also quite severe.
After three minutes, the adventurer will immediately fall into a weakened state. How weakened? According to those who have used it, it's equivalent to a sensitive 11-year-old boy being attacked by two 40-year-old succubi.
In other words.
This is an evil potion that can overdraw your stamina and instantly restore 30% of your full strength.
But it only lasted for three minutes.
After it ends, the user will be completely powerless to fight.
Linda quickly calculated in her mind: There was only 1 use left for the Dragon's Roar Fang. She would bind Herus and then forcefully use her second ultimate move, using the Poison Dragon Roar to instantly kill the opponent.
This is a script where everything goes smoothly.
If they still can't kill Halus...
The one who dies is yourself!
The Azure Shield was being constantly depleted, and every second that was delayed was disadvantageous to him.
Linda's gaze sharpened, and with a snap, she pulled out the cork from the berserk potion.
A pungent, spicy smell wafted out of the bottle.
He frowned, put the medicine to his lips, and mentally roared: "Go for it, let's do it!"
"Beep beep beep~~~!"
Just as Linda was about to swallow the potion, a sharp noise from a magical instrument rang out from about ten meters ahead.
Halus paused in his swinging of the staff, took the magic detector from his waist, and stared intently at it.
Then, a look of wild joy appeared on his old face.
The magic wave diagram, like a sharp sword, rose straight up to the top, breaking through a red line.
This indicates that the potion is resonating with the test subject.
Behind the densely packed skeleton soldiers, an exceptionally malevolent aura of magic rose.
It seemed to be some kind of viscous filth, emitting a stench that would be nauseating to ordinary adventurers. At the same time, it contained a chilling killing intent, and the temperature of the entire cave dropped by half.
The skeleton soldiers that were nearby instinctively retreated to the side.
