This is destined to be a fierce battle.
With his mind racing, Lin Yu devised a strategy to fight back, unleashing almost no force as he attacked the eight mummies.
With his significantly improved strength, he could hold his own against the other side.
Then, one sword wheel after another slashed out, one after another, like a series of rapidly spinning gears, which in turn surrounded the mummy.
Thanks to Lin Yu's increased agility, his sword-drawing speed also increased.
However, these alone are clearly not enough to win.
Although the sword wheel is powerful and its strangulation attack inflicts true damage, it is impossible to quickly kill the mummy given the huge difference in level and attributes.
Before that, the mummy could definitely tear Lin Yu to shreds.
The woman's lips curled up; she was somewhat surprised that Lin Yu's strength had improved so much in the next dungeon.
But so what?
Level 20 is still no match for her.
The woman yawned lazily, mentally counting down: "3, 2, 1."
Three seconds is the maximum amount of time Lin Yu can struggle.
As expected, the eight mummies withstood the sword wheel and attacked Lin Yu from all directions. With nowhere to escape, all his attempts were nothing more than a desperate resistance.
It was time for Lin Yu to reveal his despair.
Seeing that Lin Yu was about to be torn to pieces, the woman immediately gave the order:
"Leave him alive, but don't actually kill him."
After all, she hadn't yet obtained the item Lin Yu was on; that was her real mission for this trip.
However, just when she thought victory was assured and her mind was about to relax, a sword's cry jolted her awake:
"Clang!"
Lin Yu did not retaliate, but the blue stone sword in his hand suddenly flew out, slicing through the air and stabbing straight at the woman.
Lin Yu knew that no matter how much the enemy might verbally belittle him, they would not truly underestimate him and would certainly take precautions.
Lin Yu must strike when their defenses are at their weakest, using the most unpredictable methods, in order to have any chance of winning.
Lin Yu believed that his opponent would never expect that he had already completed his job change and become a Sword Master, possessing the ability to control swords. Therefore, this became Lin Yu's final killing move.
At that moment, the longsword whistled and charged towards the woman with unstoppable momentum.
The woman was visibly startled, not expecting Lin Yu to have such a method.
As a necromancer, one can summon powerful undead to fight, but one's own defense is a weakness.
In the critical moment, she erected a shield to block the incoming longsword.
With a crisp sound, the shield shattered, and the longsword was deflected.
Lin Yu was not surprised at all. It would be surprising if a powerful necromancer didn't have any defensive measures.
The sword strike I just made was just a feint.
At the same time, another Shattering Star Sword flew swiftly along the ground, circled behind the woman, aimed at her back, and stabbed her.
Directly in front of the woman, Lin Yu manipulated the flying blue stone sword, unleashing a series of sword wheels.
Lin Yu himself had already been pinned to the ground and his body torn apart by eight mummies, and his life was hanging by a thread. What followed was a life-or-death struggle.
Lin Yu exerted almost all his strength, exhausting his mana, and his sword wheels densely enveloped the woman.
The woman quickly reorganized her defenses, even drawing back two mummies to carry defensive weapons and block the sword wheel.
This thing... a mummy can take a few hits and it's fine, but she herself said it's not good.
However, in the end, he couldn't guard against the sword aimed at his back.
As she was pierced through the heart by a sword, her eyes widened in disbelief.
[You have received real damage +79 +99 +112 + ...]
The longsword pierced straight through her body, pulling out her heart.
The high amount of real damage quickly took away her life.
The woman took out an item that could heal her injuries, but before she could use it, her movements froze in mid-air, and her body collapsed limply.
Lin Yu was also in bad shape. His body was torn open with hideous gashes, blood gushing out, and he was almost torn to pieces.
Fortunately, the woman died before him in the end.
The moment the woman died, the mummy lost control, its movements stiffened, and it stopped, saving Lin Yu's life.
However, the current situation is still far from optimistic.
At this moment, the prop that the woman took out before she died caught his attention.
It was a bright green scepter, brimming with vitality.
Lin Yu moved over with difficulty, and to his surprise, it was an item that could heal injuries. With it, Lin Yu was finally out of danger.
This also signifies the complete end of the battle. Lin Yu, a level 20 swordsman, narrowly defeated a level 41 necromancer.
