One star rank, and you can take down forty or fifty cultists?
Based on Bai Luo's experience, at least seven of these dead cultists were Star Rank members.
Such a record would be considered top-notch even at the Azure Sky Adventurers University.
Bai Luo was a little skeptical.
Within Qingkong University, there are probably fewer than five people at Linda's level who could single-handedly take down an entire Dragon's Rest Tomb hideout.
As the dean of the Azure Sky Adventurers' University, even if he were just a mascot, Bai Luo felt a sense of belonging and honor. He genuinely believed that the elites trained in the academy were adventurers capable of crushing small cities.
Linda shook her head and said:
"Dean, you're overthinking it."
I can't take down so many cultists on my own.
One of the guys, named Rod, was turned by me and helped me kill some of them.
It was only with the help of my teammates that we were able to do it.
"Oh, I see. No wonder." Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief, his face regaining the composure he had acquired from the big city.
That makes sense.
If Linda were to take down so many cultists all by herself, wouldn't she be comparable to the Dark Shadow in his younger days?
Her invitation to Linda became a joke; top adventurers like her simply looked down on Qingkong Adventure University.
"The team member you're trying to save, is that her? I remember her, her name is Monica?"
"Huh, what do you look like..."
Bai Luo's gaze swept over the area, and she froze.
Monica quickly shrank back behind Linda.
"You! Stick your head out and let this dean have a look!"
Bai Luo's expression suddenly turned serious.
Linda only then realized what was happening.
Oops!
Forget that Monica has become a witch!
Bai Luo is an official and is sworn enemies with the witch.
Harboring a witch is a top crime in the empire.
In an instant.
The two circled around Linda's pillar.
"Stop fooling around! If you don't come over here, I, the dean, will kill you on the spot!"
Bai Luo's eyes turned cold, and the aura of the Light Rank surged forth.
Monica felt as if a colt was carrying a thousand-pound weight on its back. She let out a muffled groan and knelt on the ground, her face deathly pale.
The tiny bat wings on her back flapped frantically, trying to escape Bai Luo.
However, under the immense pressure of the Light-Rank Adventurer, even the afterimages created by his wings were of no use.
In the dim cave, the sword's edge gleamed with a cold light.
Bai Luo held a delicate and elegant rapier in each hand, both emerald blue in color.
Mysterious magical runes floated within the sword, like leaves falling into a lake and being stirred by a gentle breeze.
Legendary weapon, the Twin Swords of the Lake Beast.
One of the pieces of equipment that Linda gave to Bai Luo in the game.
But at this moment, one of the twin swords, carrying a faint killing intent, was pointed at his own throat.
"Get out of the way."
Bai Luo's voice was indifferent.
On the issue of witches, Bai Luo was unusually serious. She looked calmly at Linda and said, "This dean does not want to repeat herself. Step aside."
“I can’t do it,” Linda shook her head.
“Protecting a witch is a serious crime.”
Bai Luo frowned and said in a deep voice:
"You are an excellent adventurer with great potential for the future. Are you really going to sacrifice yourself for a teammate?"
I know you're in a difficult position. As the dean, I also feel heartbroken, but there's nothing I can do.
If the witch is not eliminated, many people will die because of her in the future.
My friend, well…”
As she spoke, Bai Luo's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost audible only to herself.
A flicker of pain flashed in her deep purple eyes. Her fingers, gripping the sword, clenched involuntarily, one by one.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Monica was filled with even more sympathy.
Even so, Bai Luo's sword remained unshaken.
Linda sighed and said:
"I understand your good intentions, Dean. Indeed, witches are a very dangerous group of people, and if left unchecked, they will cause a lot of casualties."
In some cities, the World Tree was even devoured by a calamity beast that was the incarnation of a witch.
As you can see, one of my team members is now a witch.
But only for now.
Bai Luo: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"What I mean is, the pollution within witches is not irreversible. I have a way to purify their pollution!"
Linda bowed deeply: "Please, Dean, keep Monica's identity a secret! I will restore her to a normal adventurer within a year at most!"
Bai Luo thought he was going to say something, but upon hearing this sophistry, she laughed in anger, and a surge of powerful fighting spirit erupted from her petite body.
This caused the ground beneath Linda's feet to crack like a shattered mirror!
Linda's bones were creaking all over, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead.
In the game, Bai Luo is usually taciturn, and once he gets angry, only Bai Luo can stop him.
Experiencing the little kitten girl's anger firsthand, Linda was drenched in sweat!
"Restore the witch to normal? Junior, do you know what you're talking about? You know absolutely nothing about witches!"
Bai Luo's eyebrows furrowed, and she criticized him with a look of disappointment:
"No one on this continent understands witches better than this Dean."
Therefore, I, the dean, will tell you clearly and plainly—pollution cannot be removed.
The source of this pollution is the Demon King, an absurdly powerful monster with a level of 100.
Even the most skilled healers could not undo the corruption brought by the Demon King.
"You say you can? You mean you're even more powerful than the legendary healer?"
Bai Luo Cat flicked its tail, creating a sonic boom in the air!
"I hate liars. Now, get out of my way, or I'll take you and that witch with me!"
