A level 0 hero and a level 0 god are practically the weakest of the weak; for now, all they can do is slay a slime.
Linda, however, felt very relaxed and under no pressure at all.
He pondered, gradually realizing the real reason he had left the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Being forced by Leah was secondary.
In fact, he subconsciously realized that the current Snow Goose Adventure Team was not the team he wanted to be in. Staying there would only lead him to constantly go against his true inner thoughts.
Assemble your own team and leisurely climb the World Tree, enjoying the scenery along the way.
We will not abandon any member and will walk side by side to the highest point of the secret realm continent.
This is what Linda wanted.
Although it sounds like a pipe dream, Linda knows how to fight the monsters on each level and how to defeat the guardian of the secret realm with the bare minimum conditions.
Therefore, these are possible.
Having finally arrived in this game world, Linda meets Leah and agrees with her viewpoint: 'Lead everyone to reach the top of the World Tree without anyone missing.'
They shared the same goals and ideals, which is why they created the Snow Goose Adventure Team with Lia.
The team's original intentions have changed, so there is naturally no need for him to stay.
Now that they've left, they plan to rebuild the team, and they need to carefully select the members.
Linda looked ahead.
The first team member is indeed Kafni, who is bound to the hero and will never betray him.
Looking up at the boundless blue sky, Linda put her hands in her pockets, a relaxed smile playing on her lips.
Everything was fine. Except for the pitiful seven copper coins left in his pocket.
Leaving with nothing is incredibly difficult.
If 'she' were still here, the team would have a lineup of one healer, one damage dealer, and one front-line tank, which would be ready to be formed immediately.
Linda stroked a beautiful pocket watch, her heart filled with emotion.
…
Meanwhile, in the ninth level of the World Tree Secret Realm, the [Twisted Forest].
The sky was as if covered by a layer of gray oilcloth, and the light was dim.
The withered and twisted trees looked like hands reaching out from hell, grasping at the sky.
"Yay! Ha!"
The red-haired girl's expression was solemn. She gripped her heavy sword tightly with both hands and, like a crimson meteor, crashed into the seven-meter-tall guardian of the secret realm, the level 23 'Giant Carnivorous Flower'.
The giant carnivorous flower resembles a sunflower, with a large, split mouth inside the flower, densely packed with serrated teeth.
Thick saliva flowed from his large mouth and dripped onto the ground.
The Snow Goose Adventure Team had been fighting on the ninth floor for over an hour, and each team member had some kind of injury.
The newly joined level 20 healer, the blond-haired youth Phyllis, busied himself casting healing spells, working up a sweat from exhaustion.
That Leah is too reckless.
She alone consumed nearly half of Phyllis's magic power.
If they keep fighting like this, the monster won't die, but his magic power will run out first.
How did that level 15 healer, whose total magic power was less than mine, manage to lead the Snow Goose Adventure Team to victory?
Phyllis cursed inwardly.
Today is his first day on the job, and he has to perform well. He can only drink magic potions while attacking, which is very harmful to his body.
"Blessing of Power!"
At this moment, Miss Echo, a mage from the Church of Holy Light, raised her staff.
Her long, golden hair flowed freely; she was beautiful and noble, like a sun goddess.
The blessing of power was applied to Lia, causing her fire-type fighting spirit to surge and her speed to increase slightly.
"It can be done, everyone should have confidence!"
With Linda absent, Ai Ke, the oldest among them, took over as commander.
Ai Ke took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it, thinking to herself: They were very lucky this time, and randomly entered the most suitable secret realm for the Snow Goose Adventure Team on the ninth floor, the Twisted Forest.
If the random location is the [Lava Cavern], a secret realm that completely counters Leah's fire-type fighting spirit, Eiko will not hesitate to use the [Return Scroll] hidden in her pocket, leaving Leah behind and leaving.
Just kidding, she's just an employee, she won't be as devoted to the team as some people are!
Moreover, even that person ran away, causing Miss Aiko's already meager loyalty to plummet even further.
In the perilous secret realm, the six members of the team each had their own thoughts.
Chrona treats fighting monsters like a game.
Phyllis hesitated between drinking the next bottle of magic potion and feeling a painful swelling in her magic circuits.
Honest couple Kaine and Orlu prioritize survival, as they haven't finished paying off their mortgage on their house in White Dove City.
There was only one person willing to risk everything to beat the game.
"Healer, give me a healing spell!"
Leah wiped the sweat from her forehead and shouted loudly.
A beam of white light fell upon her.
Lia felt her energy return, and even her lingering internal injuries had healed.
As expected of someone from a prestigious academy, he's much better than Linda!
With a firm resolve, Lia took a deep breath, gripped her greatsword 'Flame Devourer' tightly, and stared intently at the giant carnivorous flower.
The team was like a magic machine that had been activated, with everyone performing their duties and operating normally.
However, she always felt something was strange, as if something was wrong.
Even though the new healer was very skilled, she still felt constrained and unable to unleash her full potential.
No one told her which direction to attack, when to attack, or which part of the monster to attack.
Just dealing with the monsters' attacks was exhausting enough, and having to think about these things made Leah's head ache.
Her thoughts were not clear, and she felt a stifling feeling that was stuck in her chest and couldn't be released.
Lia recalled that during the day at the entrance to the World Tree Secret Realm, she had waited like a fool for quite a while.
Last night she repeatedly emphasized that she would enter the World Tree this morning.
Linda has a good memory; there's no reason for her to forget.
"We absolutely have to pass this test flawlessly, so he can see for himself that the Snow Goose Adventure Team is even more powerful than before, even without him!"
Lia gritted her teeth in resentment.
Just then.
"Captain, danger!"
Aiko's anxious voice startled her awake.
Leah shuddered.
The giant carnivorous flower seemed to have gone mad, pulling out thousands upon thousands of roots from the ground and transforming them into sharp whips to launch an attack.
It swept across the land, like the roots of a web of death descending.
Leah was somewhat at a loss.
Should we retreat?
As this idea came to mind, I seemed to hear someone laughing.
No, there's no need to retreat, just cut this guy down!
With a determined look in her heart, Lia gritted her teeth, gripped her sword, and charged forward.
She was like a red fish swimming in the sea, skillfully dodging the countless roots.
Any swordsman of Leah's caliber would be stunned and impressed by her amazing skill.
This is 'Blazing Flames' Lia, the top adventurer of the younger generation in White Dove City.
"A madman!"
Ai Ke stomped her feet in anger.
Leah's playstyle is too dangerous; one mistake and she's finished.
Moreover, he rushed too fast, and his teammates couldn't keep up at all.
If Linda were here, she would comment: "This is like a Malphite flashing into someone in the top lane and asking the mid laner Yasuo why he didn't come over."
