If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"However, young man, your luck isn't so good today. You just happened to run into someone like me who possesses a fire-type holy mark."

Fire-type Stigmata? Lynn raised an eyebrow, then retorted:

"No, I think today is a good day."

"Very confident, aren't you?"

Mary smiled slightly, and after tying her hair up, she lowered her body, tensing her thigh muscles, and assumed a preparatory stance for a sprint:

"Aren't you going to reveal your Holy Mark yet?"

Lynn then stubbornly said:

"When the time comes, it will be used naturally."

"Ok?"

Mary was taken aback by what she heard, then, realizing something, her gaze suddenly sharpened:

"If you put it that way, then I find this quite interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately prepared to transform into fire, and even prepared to become a streak of light.

No matter what moves Mary uses, maxing out evasion and defense is always the right thing to do.

However, the next second...

Mary's dark brown flame mark between her brows flickered for a moment, then her gaze suddenly sharpened!

A buzzing sound!

In that instant, the surrounding noise of fighting and screams seemed to fade away from Lynn.

Lynn suddenly heard a series of sharp buzzing sounds in his ears, and his originally light and natural body seemed to be subjected to an invisible heavy pressure, as if he had been put on a layer of armor that he could not move.

This feeling is like sleep paralysis; you are fully conscious but unable to control your body.

What's going on?

Upon suddenly encountering this strange situation, Lynn subconsciously activated her Radiant state.

With his agility suddenly enhanced, he flashed back to the bar, almost standing just one bar away from Odelle.

Odelle looked at Lynn, who had suddenly appeared before her, blinked, and then smiled and said:

"The area around the bar is a no-fight zone."

"Congratulations! You have successfully discovered the safe zone!"

However, Lynn didn't listen to Audrey at all; instead, she stared at Mary in astonishment.

"What was that just now?"

Mary, however, revealed a wicked smile after seeing Lynn hiding around Odelle:

"As expected! You kid, your main focus isn't on the Stigmata path!"

At that moment, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Lynn's forehead.

He belatedly realized that the oppressive feeling he had just experienced could suppress the full extent of his abilities, and thus he cautiously said:

"Was that strange feeling of oppression related to the Stigmata?"

Mary, seeing this, smiled and said in a knowing tone:

"Kid, adventurers who reach the elite level, that is, those with a Stigmata level of 30 or above, can awaken their own attribute Stigmata and naturally possess the ability to manipulate the corresponding attribute."

"Adventurers whose Stigmata level breaks through to level 60 or above and reaches the Hero level can go even further, interfering with the surrounding nature with their own attributes and using their spirit to mobilize the Stigmata attributes, transforming them into pure pressure."

"Hehe, this move is called 'Hero's Domain' in the Hero level. Some people think it's not cool enough and call it 'Hero's Aura.' It's a common move that everyone can use with both hands."

"Of course, since I only recently broke through to Hero level, I'm not very familiar with this yet, so the range of my interference is about five meters."

"This kind of thing is just a way of greeting among people of the same level, but for those of lower levels, it is a real suppression of life level."

As Mary said this, she narrowed her eyes and jokingly teased Lynn, saying:

"That's why I said, 'Brother, your luck is not good, you just happened to run into me at this time of promotion.'"

Elite-level adventurers awaken their Stigmata attributes? Hero-level adventurers can even manipulate attributes to suppress enemies?

Lynn was secretly startled when she first heard about this.

He thought that by stacking his attributes to Hero level through his bloodline skills, he could fight against Hero-level adventurers. He didn't even think that Hero-level adventurers were that strong when he fought Lilia.

But now it seems that it wasn't that Lilia wasn't strong, but rather that she simply didn't perform at the level expected of a hero.

If that's the case, it seems that if Lynn wants to truly fight back, he'll have to withstand the opponent's Stigmata suppression first.

Upon realizing this, Lynn immediately abandoned any intention of holding back.

Based on our brief encounter, it's clear that he is indeed suppressed by the Holy Mark when facing Mary.

However, the temporary speed increase from the Flowing Light state allows him to briefly break through the suppression through a surge in attributes, enabling him to regain control of his body.

Therefore, the level suppression of the Stigmata is equivalent to Mary having an extra skill that can control Lynn for one or two seconds.

This situation, while very troublesome for Lynn, is not yet at the point where he is completely unable to fight back.

When Mary announced her promotion to Hero level, Odelle at the bar clapped and congratulated her, saying:

"Has Miss Mary broken through?"

"So, the two-month trip you mentioned last time was to break through to the Hero level?"

"It seems the association will have to set a time to prepare a victory celebration banquet!"

"We'll talk about the victory celebration later."

Mary grinned, and chaotic flames instantly coiled around her arms, forming an invisible arm armor:

"Before that, I need to finish the main course first~"

Audrey smiled sweetly upon hearing this:

"You really have a good appetite."

The second after Odelle finished speaking,

Mary had already appeared in front of Lynn, and with a flash of holy marks between her brows, she briefly controlled Lynn's movements.

Then, Mary laughed and slammed the arm wrapped in firelight into Lynn's face.

A loud bang!

Lynn was caught off guard and was pushed down onto the bar counter, where Mary pressed her firmly against the stone surface.

"The general has arrived!"

"I won this round!!"

At this moment, Marco, who was watching from the dome above the chandelier, raised an eyebrow:

"The basic attributes have reached the level of a hero, but the stigmata level is terrible?"

"No wonder Knightworth sent me here..."

Just when Mary and Marco both thought the situation was settled.

Hiss! Hiss! came from Mary's hand pressing against Lynn's face.

"Huh?" Mary was startled by the sound. "What's that strange noise?"

"Wait, you're not licking my palm, are you?"

Mary stared in disbelief at her hand, which was now wreathed in flames.

Is this thing something you can lick?

Before Mary could react, *swoosh!*

The fiery arm armor that swirled around her arm transformed into a dark vortex, which swept directly into Lynn's mouth.

"?!!!"

Mary's eyes widened:

"My sacred flame... has been eaten?"

Thank you for the treat!

Lynn, whose face was being held down, only revealed the corners of her mouth that were turned up.

The next moment, a fist, also wreathed in chaotic flames and resembling an arm guard, slammed into Mary's face!

Chapter 105 Audrey's Amazing Milk Supply

Lynn's arm armor, splattered with flames, delivered a relentless punch to Mary's face, showing absolutely no mercy. In fact, during the exchange of blows, his fist sank deep into Mary's face.

The next moment, Mary was lifted into the air in a spiral and crashed into the opposite wall.

Marco, who was reinforcing the entire building with his skills to ensure that no sound would be leaked from the ceiling, immediately felt the huge recoil force transmitted back to him.

Just from the force reflected back from the wall, Marco knew that if Mary hadn't been helped by that punch, she would probably need to get plastic surgery.

Upon realizing how hard Lynn had hit him, Marco's lips twitched.

"Holy crap, this kid... he's that ruthless?"

With a bang, Lynn abruptly stopped moving.

He glanced at his blood-stained fingers, then at Mary across the way, who had slid down the wall and collapsed to the ground with a thud, and fell into a sudden silence.

A few seconds later, Lynn turned his head, looked at Odelle with a stiff expression, and said:

Was she off guard just now?

"Perhaps...it's because I was too surprised?"

Odelle hesitated slightly, even looking at Lynn with a hint of confusion in her eyes:

"Did you just eat Miss Mary's Holy Flame?"

Lynn nodded in agreement: "That's right, we're doomed if we don't do it!"

If Lynn hadn't taken advantage of Mary's carelessness and gotten close to her, he wouldn't have been able to use the 'Dragon Slayer Magic' to outmaneuver her. In that situation, Lynn really didn't know what else he could have done but run away.

That Heroic Domain is really a bit too much.

Ultimately, anyone who's played games knows how disgusting control techniques are.

If we don't strike while the opponent is on cooldown, this match might be unplayable!

That's one way of saying it....

Seeing Lynn's matter-of-fact expression, Odelle hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"But after absorbing someone else's Stigmata ability, are you really sure your body will be okay?"

“Oh...oh....Dale.…”

At this moment, Mary's intermittent voice came through:

"Help... I need some healing...!"

Lynn suddenly turned his head to look at Mary, who was lying on the ground, her hand trembling and raised, and then turned to look at Odelle.

"Oh, coming, coming, coming right away."

Audrey rushed out of the bar and came to Mary. She knelt down and her hands glowed with a pale golden light.

Under Odelle's spell, Mary's features, which were distorted by Lynn's punch and smelled of burnt food, quickly twisted and deformed before returning to normal.

Apart from the bloodstains on his face, he looked almost exactly the same as before.

No, sister... so you're a miracle doctor?!

In an instant, Lynn stared at Odelle, who was using an unknown healing skill, and was completely stunned.

At that moment, Lynn suddenly understood why Odelle had so calmly said that she had set the rules.

At the same time, Lynn also understood why Odelle's rule of punishment for violating the rules was that the bar would not serve customers for a period of time.

In a place like the Giants Protection Association, where group fights happen every day, you dare to offend a miracle doctor? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
