It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Crown elementalization!

Moreover, a golden scepter appeared in her right hand.

This is an ability she gained after her talent evolved, which can greatly enhance the power of light-attribute magic.

Beside her, Elena also entered her Grand Elemental state.

Purple arcs of electricity danced in Elena's eyes.

—Thunder of the Mind.

Because they were underground, Elena and Vivian's senses were somewhat reduced, limited to a radius of only fifty meters.

But the incoming wave was so strong that the two women could vaguely sense it even before it entered the fifty-meter range.

That is a being that far surpasses the Gold Saints, and even the Grand Witches cannot reach it.

--legend!

Just as the high-energy fluctuations entered within fifty meters of the excavator, Elena made her move.

The invisible and intangible lightning of the mind pierced through the thick soil, striking the high-energy fluctuations.

"Boom!"

The violent tremors were clearly felt by the three women inside the excavator, even from a distance of tens of meters.

Attacked, the high-energy reaction's advance suddenly halted. The evolved illusion talent, based on Elena's Grand-level magic, exerted a control effect that even legends could not resist.

The magical energy fluctuations of the gem at the tip of Vivian's Scepter of Light were contained and not released. Her attacks were not very effective underground. Even if they hit an enemy after penetrating dozens of meters of rock, their power would be greatly reduced. Therefore, they were more suitable for counterattacks when the enemy got close.

"High-level fluctuations halted, one second, two seconds, three seconds, resumed..." Toni reported the situation while controlling the excavator.

Her innate ability to control metal allows her to have a much larger sensory field underground than Elena and Vivian.

"Only three seconds..." Elena's face was serious.

The legendary figure's strength exceeded her imagination. This was only because the opponent was not under any other threat to life after being trapped in the illusion. If attacked during the control period, the time trapped in the "illusion" would be even shorter.

With that thought in mind, Irina unleashed a Mind Blast.

……

Blackrock Lord's Residence.

inside the room.

Roy sat cross-legged on the bed, his body shrouded in a condensed and persistent aura of battle qi, his strong breathing causing the airflow to spread.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Lilia's anxious voice: "Lord Roy, the Shadow Raven who was with Vivian and the others has discovered something unusual."

Roy slowly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he pushed open the door and stepped out. Looking at the girl with black eyes, black hair, and black clothes in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "Don't rush, Lilia, what happened?"

"Look."

Upon seeing Roy, the panic in Lilia's eyes gradually disappeared, and she raised her hand, creating an image in mid-air with shadow magic.

It was a scene of desolate mountains in black and white. Suddenly, a huge, dark crack appeared on the snow-covered ground, and countless snowflakes fell into the crack. Even part of the desolate mountain collapsed with a roar.

Amidst the rising dust, a streak of light shot up rapidly toward the horizon. Immediately afterward, an enormous black shadow crawled out from the crack, appearing and disappearing in the smoke and dust, letting out a deafening roar.

The scene ends here, as the terrifying roar stunned the Shadow Raven, which had flown to within a hundred meters of the ground.

After Lilia was promoted to Grand rank, the Shadow Raven's range of activity expanded to 100 kilometers. Vivian and the other two girls went out to search for her, and Lilia, who was worried about her, sent out the Shadow Raven to follow them from a high place.

Noticing the streaks of light flying up in the scene, Roy felt relieved.

Those were the traces left by Vivian when she flew.

Yes, flying.

Although her strength has not reached the level of a Grand Witch, as a controller of light-attribute magic, Vivian can fly at high altitudes during her Grand Witch stage.

When the body merges with the light, flight becomes incredibly simple.

With Vivian around, and especially if they weren't underground or in some kind of enclosed space, the three women could easily retreat even if they encountered a legendary figure.

"It seems they've found their target..."

Staring at the frozen scene before him, the thick smoke and dust obscured the appearance of the behemoth, but it was clear that its size far exceeded any magical beast Roy had ever seen before.

"We'll know the specifics when they get back."

Roy smiled.

"Let's go and wait in the lobby."

……

Vivian, Elena, and Tonière returned quickly.

In less than ten minutes, the scattered pale golden particles in the hall coalesced and took shape, and the bodies of the three women appeared.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Vivian, panting, led the two back as quickly as possible; even she felt intensely exhausted.

Elena's face was very pale; the continuous use of Mind Lightning had taken a tremendous toll.

Of the three women, Toni was in the best condition, but in order to recharge the excavator in "load burst mode", she had also consumed more than half of her magic power.

Seeing the three witches in a sorry state, Shanika quickly stepped forward in the hall. A pale blue light enveloped them, soothing their mental fatigue. As for their magic, there was nothing she could do; they would have to recover it on their own.

A minute later, the pale blue light faded, and the three women's complexions improved considerably.

"Lord Roy, we've found our target!" Vivian said excitedly. She was very happy to be able to help Lord Roy, no matter how small the matter was.

"Hmph, Roy, Irina has caught a big fish this time." Irina tilted her head slightly, her fluffy tail behind her seemingly "subtly" swaying.

Toni stood silently without saying a word.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Roy said gently, "It's good that you're all alright. Elena, can you tell me the details?"

“Of course.” Elena straightened her expression, and the large tail behind her stopped wagging. “The target location is 90 kilometers north of Blackstone Territory, in the central part of Rafa Province, within a baronial territory called ‘Martin Territory’.”

"After going down about 500 meters underground, Tonnie sensed abnormal magical fluctuations and the existence of underground cavities. We did not approach and immediately returned, but we did not expect to startle the overlord monster inside."

"In order to escape the pursuit of the overlord monster, the excavator's energy core was severely overloaded, and was even hit by the overlord monster's attack just before leaving the ground, resulting in serious damage."

At this point, Elena looked at Tonnie beside her, who said, "The excavator's outer armor is 40% damaged, the front drill bit is 60% damaged, and the energy core is 20% damaged... The estimated repair time is 23 hours and 45 minutes."

"About a day...that should be enough!" Roy nodded.

“We don’t know the specifics of the underground space, but we can vaguely sense that it contains extremely terrifying magical power,” Elena added.

“I understand the general idea.” Roy nodded. “You guys have worked hard these past few days. Go and get some rest.”

After three days of travel and this escape, the three witches were indeed exhausted. After reporting the situation, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Roy sat at the head of the long table in the hall, his fingers lightly tapping the surface.

Shanika, Lilia, and Ais were sitting at the edge of the long table.

They looked at Roy, waiting for his decision.

"Wait a minute, I've already sent the message to Princess Fuma. We'll make plans once she arrives."

Roy spoke up.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to rush in alone to cause trouble for the overlord monster.

The dominant Warcraft is as powerful as a legendary beast; why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on others?

Although he is now somewhat confident in a one-on-one fight.

Roy's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

While Elena and the others were out searching, after he had condensed the "true form prototype", he successfully imprinted two "Starlight Paladin" second-tier professional skills into his body.

——Low-level skill: Parry and counterattack.

——Advanced Specialty: Meteor Accumulation.

-

Parry and Counterattack: Possesses superb parrying skills, enabling a swift counterattack while parrying. (Strength +20%, Physique +10%, Reflex Speed ​​+10% when parrying)

-

This specialization is very effective, granting Royger greater strength when parrying, higher physical endurance, and faster counter-attack speed.

Roy's second specialty was his greatest achievement.

Each advanced feat requires a prerequisite feat to be acquired, and its effects are far more powerful than those of lower-level feats. It is the core of a profession. To acquire "Meteor Slash - Charge", you need the prerequisite feats: Charged Slash, Physical Fitness, Power, and Lightning Reflexes.

That's right, the prerequisite for this advanced feat is the feat that these four "Star Paladins" acquired at Tier 1.

Advanced skills have a much higher burden than low-level skills. "Parry Counter" has a burden of 6, while "Meteor Charge" has a terrifying 24.

In other words, when a "Starlight Paladin" reaches Tier 2 and gains "Parry Counterattack" at level 12, they need to train until level 20 before they can barely bear the burden of the advanced feat "Meteor Charge".

Only when the Starlight Paladin masters "Meteor Charge" does it truly demonstrate the strength of a top-tier hidden class.

-

Meteor · Accumulation:

—Passive effect: Absorbs the power of starlight into the body, granting the user greater explosive power. (All attributes +50%)

—Active effect: Imprints starlight marks onto the weapon, activating during combat to grant the weapon a starlight enchantment and additional sharpness. (Weapon sharpness +X%, where X is the amount of starlight consumed. The effect lasts for one minute; after the time expires, additional starlight is required to use it.)

(Current total starlight: 100/100 - This value increases as the professional's level increases)

-

Waaah, let's reschedule for tomorrow. One unexpected thing after another happened today, I'm so sorry, thank you so much. (orz)

Chapter 164 Little Fox Girl: Brother Roy, you've touched my heart!

Advanced Specialty - Meteor - has both active and passive effects.

The passive effect has no cost and is always active, giving Roy a 50% boost to all his attributes.
