As the fiery red figure drew ever closer, Linda gathered his energy, causing his internal magic circuits to operate wildly.
The Earth Dragon Sword transformed into an emerald sword, emitting a firefly-like emerald glow.
At that moment, even the infants being held and nursed by their mothers realized that the battle was about to be decided. The babies stopped smacking their lips and stared blankly at the arena.
"Senryu's Wrathful Fang!"
Linda slashed out with her sword, and green light condensed into a vine dragon that charged forward with the power to devour everything.
With a loud bang.
It collided with Leah's fire dragon.
The green and red energies collide, creating a surge of airflow.
An invisible ripple swept across the surroundings, dust flew everywhere on the arena, Linda's hair was blown back, and she could barely open her eyes.
The stalemate lasted only a moment before Senryu's Wrathful Fang quickly gained the upper hand, gradually devouring the Rathalos.
Linda's remaining magic power far exceeded that of Leah, and even though this move contained some grass attribute, it was still able to overcome the opponent's strength and devour Leah's fire dragon.
'Use the Dragon's Fang to bind Lia, then kick her off the stage!'
Just as Linda was making this decision, a fiery red figure leaped up and attacked from above.
The setting sun cast a pale golden glow on the tips of the girl's red hair.
With a volcanic, burning will in her eyes, Lia slashed her greatsword down at Linda.
"Blazing! Flame! Slash!"
Not enough, not nearly enough.
Linda calmly realized that even the Flaming Dragon Slash couldn't defeat him, so the even weaker Flaming Slash was even less likely to do so.
If this were a real battle, Leah would definitely be dead.
Linda took a deep breath, and her healing magic solidified into tangible green dots on her body.
Green light points converged towards the Earth Dragon Sword, and a powerful aura rose from Linda's body.
Even Rochelle's expression subtly changed. Using a rare skill three times in a row puts a heavy burden on the magic circuit; even an adventurer who has just entered the Moon Rank cannot do it.
Just how proficient did Linda become to use this move three times in a row at the Star Rank?
Most importantly, Linda had just finished her match in the morning and recovered by the afternoon. That's an incredibly fast recovery rate.
As the emerald green magic gathered around Linda's swordsman, the monthly adventurers, led by Rochelle, all concluded in their hearts that Linda was bound to win.
With the immense power of a rare skill, it was simply impossible for the exhausted Lia to withstand it.
Rochelle spread his lightning wings, his battle aura coursing through his body, and focused intently on the two of them, ready to intervene at any moment.
In the blink of an eye.
The winds have shifted on the fighting stage.
This is just a minor, insignificant change.
But in the suffocating tension of the battle, this unexpected turn of events gave everyone present a bad feeling.
The wind fueled the fire, and the fire, aided by the wind, instantly doubled the intensity of the flames on Leah's greatsword.
The golden beam of light, like a sharp sword descending from the sky, pierced through the clouds above the arena and landed on Leah.
The wound on Lia's side, the bloodstain on her shoulder, and the meager amount of fire-type battle qi in her body... all recovered rapidly in the golden light!
As soon as the golden light appeared, a chorus of incredulous exclamations erupted across the square!
"He broke through during the battle?!"
"Isn't this just a legend? How could someone actually do it?"
"No! It definitely happened. The last time it appeared was when Linda fought the Killer Crab Emperor during a monster tide!"
Linda was also surprised that Lia would break through at this time, and a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
But it still didn't work!
The divine light brought by the upgrade can only restore a portion of her fighting spirit; it cannot instantly restore Leah to her peak condition.
Even if Leah reaches level 34, she is still one level behind him.
With Lia's small skill [Flame Slash], it's impossible for her to cut off his [Forest Dragon's Wrath].
Even though the latter is countered by the former's attributes, the rarity and level of the skills make Forest Dragon's Wrath Fang an overwhelming victory.
All of the above factors suggest that Leah is destined to fail.
"Blindly taking risks and acting impulsively cannot overcome reason, and let me tell you that now—"
Just as Linda was about to declare victory like a villain, the next scene showed that Lia's Flame Slash transformed into an attack burning with orange-red flames and starlight.
This is a rare skill that can only be learned after Lia reaches level 40 and becomes a Moon-rank Adventurer: Blazing Slash!
Linda was filled with disbelief. A skill that should have been learned by Leah at the Moon Rank had actually been learned ahead of schedule? What would this guy learn when he reached the Moon Rank?
Linda has completely lost track of what will happen to Leah in the future.
"Eora!"
Lia shouted something incomprehensible and unleashed a Fiery Slash.
The quality of Flaming Slash has been upgraded to a rare skill, reaching the same level as the Forest Dragon's Wrathful Fang. Meanwhile, Lia's Starfire Aura has a significant suppressive effect on vine dragons that contain some grass attributes!
The Firebird Feather Sword charged forward relentlessly, cleaving the vine dragon in two.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, Leah finally saw Linda's shocked face.
A strong sense of accomplishment welled up in Leah's heart. All the humiliation she had suffered from being whipped by Linda turned into a feeling of exhilaration on her face, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Even if she shocked ten thousand people in the square, Leah felt it was more satisfying to shock Linda. "Let you look down on me and treat me like an idiot!"
However, Linda reacted extremely quickly, retreating swiftly to dodge Lia's attack. She enchanted the Earth Dragon Longsword with deadly poison, bent her knees, and spread her legs apart, assuming a basic sword stance.
"Your mediocre swordsmanship is useless!"
