The main problem was that Luke's eyes saw it, but his body couldn't react in time.
The purple orb hit Luke squarely in the stomach.
This doesn't seem as powerful as the massive, sun-like fireball spell.
But the moment he was hit, Luke's intestines turned blue from the poison.
"Ahhh!"
A pig-like scream came from Luke's throat.
This boar-man, known for his thick skin and tough flesh, was hit by this inconspicuous purple magic orb and immediately staggered to the ground in pain, clutching his stomach like a boiled shrimp!
Luke felt an intense burning sensation where the orb had struck him; his flesh was being corroded and rotted away, his life force was slowly draining from his body, and his consciousness was gradually fading away.
Boarmen are naturally durable; a level 8 Luke has about 1000 health points, which is his most prized asset.
But after being hit by this ominous purple orb, Luke felt that his life force would be completely exhausted and he would die from the poison in five seconds at most.
This kind of person is someone he simply cannot afford to offend!
Thinking of this, Luke's face instantly drained of color. In the face of this life-threatening situation, he no longer cared about his dignity, and desperately clung to Linda's leg, wailing and crying:
"Grandpa, please spare me! I was blind to your greatness. I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. Please, just let me go like a fart!"
Linda was surprised, never expecting this orc to be so spineless.
After a moment's thought, he pointed to the white villa and said, "Writing off that girl's debts is something we can consider."
At the same moment, Monica, who was eavesdropping by the window, covered her mouth in disbelief, her big eyes brimming with tears.
The last person to treat her this well was the captain!
Luke nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, "It's all written off, absolutely written off! I, Luke, will repay the remaining gold coins!"
"Alright." Linda didn't want to kill someone in Red Peach City and attract the attention of the law enforcement agency.
Seeing Luke's lips turn blue from the poison and his eyes become vacant, he was about to die.
My health is too low; I can't even withstand the venom of a single Venom Orb.
Linda shook his head, truly understanding what it meant to 'punch someone and then beg them not to die.' Killing someone in the city had too many consequences, so he helplessly waved his hand, casting a basic healing spell.
A green +300 appeared above Luke's head.
"This number of replies?"
Luke's lips immediately regained their color, and his mind became much clearer.
With the help of basic healing spells, Luke's aching body felt as if a bucket of warm water had been poured into him, making him so comfortable that he almost lost control of his bladder.
"Continued healing."
A green halo fell on Luke.
+75, +70, +73...
With the help of both basic healing spells and continuous healing, the damage from the Venom Orb was barely stopped.
Linda was thankful that she didn't give Luke a second one, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to save him.
Even if your health is fully restored, external injuries cannot be healed with healing spells. Health is just one indicator of health.
On Luke's stomach was a black hole the size of a baby's fist, the surrounding flesh corroded and emitting a foul odor.
Luke clutched his stomach, glancing fearfully at Linda, not daring to show the slightest resentment, and said with a forced smile, "Then I'll be going?"
"Get lost."
With Linda's consent, Luke tremblingly walked away, supported by his two underlings.
"Owner of the villa, now you should understand that I meant no harm, right?"
Linda shouted to the people inside:
"I've even offended the Mandala family. Although it's not nice to say it like this, you've also come to their wrath, and they'll get their revenge sooner or later."
Leaving Red Heart City, joining my adventure team, and developing in White Dove City is the best choice!
Your friend Lulu is over there too; she's also a member of the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team.
"Really..."
A faint, weak voice, barely audible, came from the crack in the door.
Hearing the homeowner's response, Linda beamed with joy. Three days of hard work had not been in vain!
There was one thing that puzzled him slightly: the voice sounded strangely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
I can't quite put my finger on where it is.
"Can you open the door? Can we have a proper talk? Don't worry, I, Linda, the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, am definitely not a bad person," Linda said in a gentle tone, as if coaxing a child.
"Lin...you said your name...is it Linda?"
A soft, weak voice, like that of a kitten, squeezed out from the crack in the door.
"Yes, I am Linda."
"Good boy, open the door and let your uncle see."
Linda felt that the girl across the door might not be 18 years old in terms of her mental age and physical age. Even a 5-year-old child wouldn't be this shy.
Squeak~
Under his excited gaze, the white door in front of him, which had been tightly closed, pretending that no one was home, slowly opened a crack.
He lifted his foot to go in, but... after opening the door just a crack the width of his little finger, it was forcefully blocked by the person behind him.
"If you don't open it more, how will Uncle get in?"
Linda was completely confused.
"Come closer..."
"What?"
"Come closer, let me see...is it Linda?"
The other person's voice grew softer and softer; if Linda hadn't been an adventurer, she wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Kaphni.
Both of them were considering leaving. Was it really a good idea to let someone like that join the team?
Even if the opponent is level 15 and has excellent talent, with this kind of personality, they simply can't cooperate with the other team members, right?
But having come all this way, Linda was unwilling to leave without even seeing the other person.
He put on a gentle, sunny smile and leaned close to the crack in the door: "Look, doesn't Uncle look like a good person?"
Through the crack in the door, all I could see was complete darkness.
The magic lamp wasn't on in the room, and the curtains were drawn, making it pitch black and impossible to see the other person's face clearly.
All I knew was that there was a small, strangely shaped figure staring into my eyes.
Linda, with her rare black hair and black eyes in this other world, often attracts attention.
Was the girl inside the door also drawn in?
He started having random thoughts.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths passed...
"Yes, Captain!"
A sob, filled with emotion, burst from behind the door. The door in front of Linda swung open with a bang, and a brown figure suddenly rushed into his arms.
"What? What's going on?"
