This is……

Livia, who was sitting on the ground and unable to get up because the chains were broken, looked at the pure white flames that made people feel cold even from such a distance, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

He took a deep breath, sensing the terrifying power contained in the pure white flame. His intuition told him that if he was even slightly touched by this strange white flame, he would end up in trouble.

Livia, who was sitting next to him, could feel it, and Edmund, who was facing the pure white flame, felt it even more strongly.

How is this power possible?

There was a look of disbelief in his eyes. He had only felt this power from that adult, the adult who was half a step away from becoming a legend.

He felt a little suffocated, not because of the pressure from the power of this force, but because the white flames actually burned the surrounding air. In an instant, the air around Edmund became very thin.

No!

How could I die in this place!

Edmund roared and poured all his strength into the blood arc light net in front of him. He didn't care even though he could hear the crackling sound of strength being drained from all parts of his body, his hair quickly turned white, and his face quickly aged.

As long as he can survive, he doesn't care about the cost.

The flaming sword blade slashed at the light net woven by blood-colored arcs of light. The flame suddenly erupted at this moment, and under Edmund's incredulous gaze, the blood-colored arc light net and Edmund were swallowed up together.

"No!

! ! "

Faintly, an angry and unwilling roar was heard from the flames.

The flame on Natalia's sword seemed to have intelligence and separated from the sword, completely enveloping Edmund who was still struggling.

Huh, huh…

"Natalia staggered backwards, panting heavily. The long sword in her hand lost its luster, and the red lines dimmed, falling with her hand.

Looking at Edmund, whose surface was being burned to a charred black by the pure white flames, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. The flame formed by the power contained in the fire element crystal that exploded all at once almost got out of her control and swallowed her up even with her secret control.

But fortunately, it was successful.

Edmund continued to struggle in the flames, but it was a powerless struggle. He opened his mouth wide as if wailing, or cursing or scolding them, but no sound was heard due to the isolation of the flames.

Just like that, under the gazes of Natalia and Livia, Edmund in the flames finally turned into ashes without a human form, and drifted away with the surging flames.

Watching the figure disappear in the flames, Natalia and Livia finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this couldn't kill him, then they could only accept defeat and wait for death.

Livia fell backwards weakly and lay on the ground.

He had already exhausted all his strength and power, and he was just trying to stay seated. After he relaxed, fatigue and weakness surged into his heart like a tide, and he could no longer feel the pain. When he was in severe pain all over his body, he had already become numb, as if he had lost the sense of pain.

Natalia on the side actually doesn’t have much physical strength and power left, and is now only relying on the secret technique to hold on, but the duration of the secret technique is about to end. "

call……

While the secret technique can still last for a while, let’s deal with the remaining things first.

"Natalia's keen perception, enhanced by the secret technique, enabled her to hear the sounds of fighting coming from the other side of the hillside. She planned to take advantage of the last moment of the secret technique to get rid of the remaining bandits.

But she looked at Livia lying beside her and frowned.

If a wild beast came after she left, he would be dead in his current weak condition, but he saved his own life. He could have run away when he saw she was surrounded, and there was no need to get involved in this mess.

"call……

We can’t just abandon him.”

Natalia quickly walked to Livia's side and picked up the silver sword that Livia had dropped earlier on the way.

laugh!

The silver sword stabbed into the ground, and Natalia looked down at Livia.

The two looked at each other.

Livia shifted slightly and tried to sit up, but failed.

"Go and deal with the remaining bandits over at Honasan's side first."

Livia looked at her and said with a bitter smile, he could naturally guess what she was thinking.

"Don't worry. With the power that just erupted here, no wild beasts or monsters should come close."

Normally, any beast or monster with instinct and intelligence would stay away from this area after sensing the dangerous and intense power fluctuations here. They would simply seek benefits and avoid harm.

"Besides, I have some trump cards. Ordinary beasts can't hurt me."

Livia thought to herself and continued.

After hearing what he said, Natalia turned around and quickly headed to the other side of the hillside.

Livia listened to her footsteps gradually fading away, her weak spirit immersed in her mind, and opened the system interface.

There were several prompts during the previous battle, but because his attention was all focused on the opponent, he not only ignored the prompts in his mind, but also did not even look at the translucent prompt panel at the bottom of his field of vision.

Now that everything is over, I can take a look. I think it should be task four that can be unlocked after completing tasks one and two.

As Livia thought about this, a few faint lights gathered in her eyes, and a translucent task panel appeared.

[Side Quest: The Attack of Gray Demon Forest Bandits] [Quests one, two, and three have been completed and the rewards have been received.

Mission 4: Eliminate the Gray Demon Forest bandit gang.

Completion rate: 71% (settlement is possible if the completion rate is higher than 80%, and the higher the progress, the higher the reward).

Reward: Attribute points ×?

, combat skill points ×?

, Owl Potion×?

】【(Hidden mission: Kill the extraordinary leader of the Gray Demon Forest bandit gang).

Completed.

Rewards: Attribute points × 4, Sign skill point × 1, Amateur weapon repair tool × 1] Hmm?

Livia was stunned for a moment when looking at the two tasks displayed on the panel, and then she smiled.

This really is a gamble, and a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

Without hesitation, Livia first claimed the hidden tasks that had been completed and were available for claiming. His current situation just required the attribute points that would be awarded.

Invest two attribute points into physique to improve one attribute and restore some strength to the body. Then add the remaining two points into strength to break through the limit of twenty and reach the low-level extraordinary level.

If his strength had broken through the limit of twenty before, the situation would have been much better. In any case, he still didn't have enough attribute points.

Livia sighed and sat up with the strength she had just recovered.

A quick glance showed that the progress was still at 71%, indicating that Task 4 had not been completed and the reward could not be claimed.

Although this task is not yet completed, it will be completed after Natalia takes care of the bandits on Honasan's side.
