After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

"Excuse me, how do you think we can pass the stage of refining the mind mirror?" Abner stood up and asked with a confused look on his face.

Abner experienced it, but won in a muddled way.

If I try again, I'll only have a 60% chance of success at most.

Wogang glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"Adventurer Weekly Report eight-star rating, Swordsman Abner."

Abner bowed slightly, as if he didn't feel Wogang's contempt.

In his heart, he sighed unwillingly. In the eyes of a top genius like Wogang, except for the ten-star adventurers, everyone else was no different from a slime.

Wogang said, "Oh!" and explained:
“The method to pass the level is actually very simple.

growing up.

I have heard of the stage of refining the mind mirror.

The resulting shadow will have exactly the same strength as when it was separated from the original body.

Then, just grow up and become stronger than you were before."

“Uh,” Abner smiled helplessly, “Your method seems a little difficult.”

Wiz, the Stelli siblings, and a burly man with blond afro nodded in agreement.

"That's not that difficult." Wo Gang pointed at himself and said calmly, "I have grown up now and am stronger than I was a second ago."

"what?"

Everyone looked confused.

It feels like this little wolf king is bragging.

But there is no way to prove that the other party is lying.

The old werewolf laughed and said, "If any of you are not convinced, you can challenge the young master at any time."

No one dared to answer.

Even if one cannot recognize Wogang's identity, one can still vaguely sense the terrifying power of this werewolf from the subtle fluctuations of his aura.

If Linda were here, she might make a rebuttal or two.

Because his shadow is himself, and also not "himself".

...

In the dark world.

The sword lights crossed, and the explosions of magic power and fighting spirit were endless.

Linda flapped her wings and flew away from the black shadow behind her.

Having many mid-range spells is one of his advantages.

Shadow's swordsmanship and combat experience completely crushed him.

Linda understood from the beginning that he would never be able to defeat the opponent in close combat.

Even if he tried his best and racked his brains, the sword in his hand could not touch the corner of Shadow's clothes.

We can only fight a war of attrition.

The shadow's physical strength and fighting spirit were completely drained!

"ended."

Suddenly, Shadow said something indifferently.

It wasn't just it that was consumed, Linda was consumed as well.

A pitch-black magic scroll appeared in the shadow's right hand.

It turned out to be one of Linda’s trump cards, [Three Consecutive Shots]!
Special move: Demonic flame flash!
Close the distance at ghostly speed and attack the opponent three times in a row, causing extremely large destructive damage!
All three hits are enough to kill a heavily armored warrior instantly.

He had completely seen through Linda's fighting style.

He is very poor at swordsmanship, but is good at recovery and medium-range combat.

The purpose is to consume its physical strength.

This matched the Linda it remembered.

My true self is indeed such a cautious person.

If nothing unexpected happens, Linda will spread his wings to avoid the first part of the magic flame flash, and use his ultimate move, the Sword of Protection, to withstand the second part.

Then take this opportunity to take out the scroll to return to the city and escape from this world.

So it says “it’s over” rather than “I won.”

Once Linda thought of retreating, his extremely high health and the double shields of Verdant Shield and Guardian Sword would not be able to kill him instantly.

I could only watch Linda escape helplessly.

While thinking, Shadow took action.

The first part of the magic flame flash.

Its entire body turned into a pitch-black sharp blade.

Bang!
The sword hit Linda accurately.

The green shield was shattered, and the tip of the sword moved forward, touching the team logo on Linda’s chest!
If there was no badge, the first strike of the magic flame would be enough to hurt Linda.

but why?
Shadow felt incredible.

In its understanding, Linda should have chosen to safely use the scroll to return to town and leave, so why did he insist on resisting his attack?
At the moment of launching the magic flame flash, Linda should have the opportunity to create a greater distance and force it to use the second stage.

But Linda did nothing, just stood there.

"Your swordsmanship is very impressive, probably on par with the real Dark Shadow.

Sadly, you are just like it.

Just a dull and pitiful piece of data.

An adventurer is someone who dares to pursue miracles at critical moments."

Linda's sweaty face showed a hint of a smile: "But this time, it's just the result of calculation. A false shadow is not worth my pursuit of miracles."

Defend with all your strength and consume the shadow's physical strength.

This is indeed Linda’s battle strategy.

But he deceived his shadow and also deceived himself!

Linda’s real battle was for the moment when Shadow launched a series of flashes of magic flames and could not retreat.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The poison and recovery magic merged, and deep, cold black flames lit up in Linda's eyes.

With the [Triple Shot] scroll revealed in his right hand, Linda launched the first and last attack in this battle.

Consume 30% of maximum health, three bursts, anger*demon heart slash!
"I haven't lost yet."

The shadow controls the second part of the magic flame flash to dodge.

Then use the third part to kill Linda who is not protected by the Green Shield!
Everything was thought of perfectly.

But Shadow overlooked one thing.
It understands Linda very well, but Linda understands it better than it does.

The shadow in front of him was just a projection of the dark shadow that Linda had manipulated.

To be exact, it is my former self!
Linda couldn't guess what others were like, but it was too easy for him to guess what happened to himself during the Dark Shadow period.

Aggressive, arrogant, and feels like he can do anything in the game.

He is a pure middle school boy.

"Your landing point is 'right in front' of me, where I 'will never attack'!"

Three black sword lights, one struck forward, one struck behind, and the other struck towards the sky.

The direction of each Demon Heart Slash attack is extremely strange.

It was like slapping a mosquito, then suddenly turning around and slapping your own face instead.

As long as Shadow was a little more normal and had the same IQ as Kavni or even Leah, Linda would definitely lose.

Shadow used the second stage of the magic flame flash attack.

The position did not change at all.

I thought he was flashing and hiding in the bushes.

It guessed that the direction of Linda's Demonic Heart Slash's attack was also the grass.

So the real choice for Shadow is .
Flash on the spot!
Still right in front of Linda!

The long sword in Shadow's hand attacked straight towards Linda!

but.
What puzzled it was that a fifteen-meter-high, cold and silent black sword light occupied his entire field of vision.

why?
Shadow felt incredible. Did he overestimate Linda?

Three years of adventurer life and the interactions with Xueyan and her group of idiots had already turned him into an idiot.

In terms of the wisdom of a projection, we can only think about this much.

The sword light passed through and disappeared at the end of the dark space.

The shadow was torn in two, and the big words lay on the ground.

"I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy you." The shadow sighed and disappeared as a point of light.

"For a clone, it's pretty good to be able to do this."

Linda put away his sword and nodded slightly.

When his twin magic powers are complete, perhaps only the true dark shadow can satisfy him.

Up to lv5, at least 5 gold skill points, around level 80.

The road of adventure is still long, but Linda is confident that she can complete this journey when she thinks that she has the company of the Luanweihua team members.

System prompts sounded in my ears:

[You killed the level 39 'Shadow' and obtained 30 diamonds!
Pass the goddess's trial and you will be rewarded with 30 experience points!
Current experience value 626577/1000000】

A ball of golden light fell into Linda's body, and a warm force was injected into his limbs and bones.

The tired complexion was relieved a little.

"I lost the three-shot scroll, but it's useless to keep the double kill. I can accept it."

Linda said to herself.

I opened my personal status bar and checked, and found that the [Heat Resistance] BUFF had 28 minutes left.

I actually fought with the shadow for so long.

Linda walked towards the light gate.

You have to overcome another test before you can meet the final boss.

28 minutes, time is tight.

Passing through the light gate, the scenery of the dark world fades away.

Linda entered a fiery red hall.

The team members gathered together with sad faces.

Lulu spotted him first.

The werewolf girl leaped into Linda's arms, pursed her lips, and complained in a low voice: "Idiot, you're too late."

"You are too fast. I, as the captain, feel ashamed of myself." Linda sighed.

"It's all because of the magic bag." Lulu smiled faintly and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I hope you can continue fighting."

Linda nodded: "No problem."

Monica and other team members also gathered around.

Everyone talked at once, asking what happened in the mind-refining mirror.

But when it comes to the dark shadow, Linda is not comfortable answering in front of the sensor ladybug.

He simply reported safety to everyone and led the team to the next gate.

"Captain Linda is here too. Team Luanweihua will definitely be able to clear the 19th floor!"

On the top floor of the movie theater building, Finch stood on the table excitedly and shouted, "There's only one trial left. Come on Luanweihua!"

Seeing that Linda was safe, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Weiren could even get comfortable in his chair, his secretary Nora suddenly stumbled over to him.

The black high heels made it difficult to move and she almost fell.

Weiren was quick to help Nora.

The face of this cold and aloof blonde secretary was filled with panic.

Weiren frowned secretly. He promoted Nora to be his personal secretary, not because of her hot body and long legs in black stockings.

It’s all because the other party has high business capabilities and is calm in the face of situations.

I'm so panicked.

How dignified!

Several middle-aged men from the municipal committee also cast dissatisfied glances.

They thought Nora's performance was too poor and she had embarrassed them in front of the foreign adventurers.

Nora didn't care, she leaned over to Weiren's ear and whispered in a low voice: "The 15th level of the Great Secret Realm, the Goddess's [Miracle], fell in the resource area of ​​Luanweihua."

"what!!!"

Weiren was horrified, slammed the armrest of the sofa and stood up.

It has been a long time since Baige City last had a miracle.
It was in Viren's dream.

Baige City has been weak for a long time, so no matter what good things there are in the Great Secret Realm, they have nothing to do with it.

This time, the miracle happened to fall in the resource area of ​​​​Luanweihua.

This is equivalent to the goddess holding the treasure and giving it to them.

How could Viren not be excited!
The three middle-aged men from the Municipal Committee were all surprised.

When White Dove City was attacked by a wave of monsters, Viren's expression was not so exaggerated.

"Follow me." Weiren said seriously to the city committee members.

Then he looked at Abner, "Captain Abner, you come over here too."

A moment later, in a secret meeting room.

Nora recounted the adventure on the 15th floor truthfully.

“When the miracle happened, we had already contacted the Snow Goose Adventure Team to cut off the live broadcast of the adventure to avoid being noticed by more people.

But it is only a matter of time before it is fully exposed.

The pillar of light formed by the miracle is thousands of meters high, and adventurers as far away as Hongtao City can also see it. "

Nora bowed to Abner: "We need your help to protect the miracle together."

Abner nodded: "I'll go gather the team members right away."

"Wait, you haven't told me the most important part yet."

A middle-aged man with a square face and wearing a black official uniform frowned and said:
“What exactly is contained in the miracle?
According to statistics from the Adventurers' Guild, there are 71 known miracles.

The worst is a skill book, and the best can reward professional inheritance, bloodline, and top magic equipment.

If these were one-time miracles, Xueyan’s people would get them first and then immediately return to Baige City.

In the city, even if light-level adventurers come, it is impossible for them to ignore the laws of the empire and rob them."

"Mr. Mevent, it would be nice if that were the case."

Nora shook her head and took out the magic tablet from her arms.

With a few clicks of the fingers, a large floating screen appeared in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Officer Mevent's face changed.

Halfway through his walk, Abner, who was about to open the door and leave, was also stunned.

Abner stared at the reflection on the screen, his mouth slightly open.

Generally speaking, higher-level secret realms are more likely to produce the first of the 71 miracles.

The 15th floor is very low compared to the entire World Tree.

It is considered good luck to have the 60th ranked miracle [Golden Pear].

And on the screen, there is a big tree bathed in golden light.

On the top of the tree trunk, stood a bird with colorful feathers.

Birds chirped and sang, emitting a rainbow-like halo.

"This is... Butibird!" Weiren's pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted out the name of the beautiful bird in shock.

According to legend, Buti is a bird that can bring divinity.

It falls on the shoulders of confused people, and they can instantly see the way forward.

It falls on the poor, and they find the way to wealth.

It fell on a tree, and that tree became a Buti tree.

Nora said: "It's like the saying goes, 'There are birds on the butt tree, and you and I under the butt tree'.

If an adventurer stays under the tree for a full minute, he can evolve one of his skills.

The miracle that fell on the 15th floor is the 11th ranked 'Buti Tree'!"

As if afraid that the three members of the committee would not understand, Weiren added: "The strength of the skills evolved through the Buti Tree is at least doubled.

And you can evolve special moves!

Many adventurers with average talents have directly become top-tier through the opportunity provided by the Buti Tree."

"The most difficult part is," Abner said solemnly, looking at the golden tree on the screen:
“Under the Buti Tree, only the skills of up to five adventurers can evolve.

And you have to wait until the Butterfly Bird finishes singing before you can go over.

If the bird is scared away, the tree will become just another tree, wasting this miracle."

After listening to their explanation, a chubby committee member said, "Wouldn't it be OK to wait until the bird stops chirping and send five people over to understand it? Why are you so nervous?" (End of this chapter)
