"Can it really work?" Leah frowned, her face full of disbelief.
If rare skills could be combined, the increase in combat power would be enormous.
Her Blazing Slash can be unleashed 3 times, Linda 3 times, and Isa 3 times. If successful, it's 3 uses of the rare fusion skill, resulting in higher total damage output and a higher margin for error compared to the fusion ultimate skill that can only be used once.
"Give it a try," Linda said. "Even if it doesn't work, you can still treat it as training to improve your proficiency in rare skills."
In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed.
The fusion of rare skills is indeed difficult; I have no clue what to do.
Linda, on the other hand, became much weaker because releasing the Demon Heart Slash required consuming blood.
Lulu came up to visit just now and almost thought Linda and Leah had a "battle of three hundred rounds".
After Linda explained the whole story, Lulu and the others who stayed in the hall to train learned that Linda had mastered a rare skill called [Demon Heart Slash].
"Captain is amazing!"
"Hmph, I will also learn rare skills in the future."
"As expected of a partner! Now we're even more confident in dealing with those bastards in Red Peach City!"
Monica, Chrona, and Orlu were all in a state of excitement and bittersweetness.
In the evening, everyone had a simple meal together, and then each took out their tents and slept directly in the building.
There are 6 days left until the 15th level of the Great Rift opens. During these 6 days, they will focus all their energy on training.
The next morning, an unexpected guest arrived at the training building.
"You're all working hard to prepare for the battle against Red Peach City, so I, as the chairman, must also show my support!"
Linda greeted Viren in the tea room.
Viren mysteriously took out a white box: "These are the Inspiration Fruits I applied for for the three of you from the City Committee."
The box was opened, and inside were three fruits placed in a crystal box. They looked similar to walnuts, but were much larger, about the size of an adult's fist.
Inspiration Fruit?
Linda's eyes lit up; this was an extremely rare material that could only be obtained from Greater Rift Level 15 and above.
Its purpose is to increase an adventurer's proficiency with skills.
In other words, this thing can increase skill points!
Linda currently has only 2 skill points left, which is exactly what she needs. The [Inspiration Fruit] that Velen brought is a godsend. With it, Linda can easily increase her proficiency in Demon Heart Slash!
One such Inspiration Fruit would probably cost ten million gold coins... no, one thousand purple gold coins. Inspiration Fruits are a scarce resource needed by adventurers across the continent, and are only traded for in purple gold coins.
The only downside is that usually only the first one works; the second one fails to provide adventurers with "inspiration."
Like Linda, he ate the Inspiration Fruit at level 36. If he wants to continue gaining skill points with the Inspiration Fruit, he needs to cross the level 40 threshold before it will take effect. However, a level 40 Inspiration Fruit is much more expensive than a level 30 one.
Linda glanced at the items, and the item interface popped up:
【Name: Inspiration Fruit】
[Level: lv30]
[Quality: Epic One Star]
[Effect: When consumed by adventurers of level 30-40, it randomly increases the proficiency of a specific skill by 1-3, up to a maximum of level 4. After that, it requires the use of Gold Skill Points.]
"President, please rest assured, we will win this battle."
Linda accepted the Inspiration Fruit and said solemnly. This meant that he had accepted Viren's favor.
Although Velen was also considering the interests of White Dove City, Linda was the beneficiary no matter what. He had eaten White Dove City's food, so he would repay them.
A victory is the best gift for White Dove City.
The adventurers of White Dove City need such a battle to wash away the humiliation they have suffered over the past decades.
This battle involved nearly a hundred star ranks from two cities, and there were too many variables. Linda couldn't predict everything, but as the captain of the White Dove City adventure team, he still made a promise to Velen: "We will win."
Viren was taken aback, not expecting the usually conservative Linda to speak with such conviction. The Linda of the past was more like a strategist, lacking the adventurous spirit of a true warrior.
After calming down a bit, Velen said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. As long as we can show the spirit of the adventurers of White Dove City in this battle and let the surrounding cities that are watching know that we are not the sick pigeons we used to be, that's enough."
Remember, this is a battle between adventurers, not a fight to the death!
If anything unexpected happens, I'd rather you abandon the level 15 Greater Rift!
With the potential of the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team, if they cultivate step by step, they will eventually reach the Rising Sun level, and Ice Flower and Snow Goose also have a great chance.
Velen didn't want to lose sight of the bigger picture because of a petty squabble over a level 15 Mythic+ dungeon.
Viren said with a serious expression, "In this battle, just do your best; winning or losing is not important."
“I understand.” Linda felt a warmth in her heart and said, “If the Crimson Adventurers join, I’m really not sure. But I sent Kaphni to Red Peach City to investigate. Last night she came back and told me that the Crimson Adventurers, for some reason, have publicly stated that they will not participate.”
With the reputation the Crimson Adventurers have built up over decades, they wouldn't deceive the people of Red Peach City.
We only need to face five adventure teams led by Frye.
Viren chuckled: "Five is enough? It seems you're more confident than I thought. You must have a lot of trump cards you didn't use in the exhibition match, right?"
Linda smiled modestly, neither confirming nor denying.
"Speaking of which, you should know about [Riki-Oh] Sloe's matter, right?" Velen's expression turned serious. "Are you confident?"
Linda remained calm: "While it may sound arrogant, among adventurers below the Moon Rank, only these few are truly worthy of my attention—Abner, Lia, and Isa from White Dove City; the Bloody Baron from Red Heart City; and the Thunder Swordsman Davin..."
[Riki-Oh] Slo is a scoundrel who beats people into mincemeat in the wild just because someone stepped on his cat.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Adventurers' Guild of Red Peach City was protecting Slo, a precious kid rated eight stars in potential by the Adventurers' Weekly and who was going to the Ice Abyss Training Camp this summer. Of course, they couldn't bear to send him to jail.
"President, if I may be so bold, this kind of trash isn't even worthy of being my opponent."
Linda spoke calmly, as if stating a given fact.
At this moment, Velen felt as if he were looking at an unshakable iron pillar planted in the ground. Linda's every word was as heavy and powerful as steel, perfectly embodying the six words "Iron-Class Adventure Team." It seemed that as long as Linda spoke, those words would surely become reality.
Velen had only ever felt this way with Abner. But Abner was a bit like a sealed container; only in battle did one realize he was a sharp and ruthless sword.
In contrast, Linda is like an iron rod, standing quietly in the field, big and thick, unmoved by wind and rain.
