"Tower Shield" Ink's angry curse had a strange effect on the monster.

The long-tongued monster suddenly changed the direction of its tongue swing, and its attention shifted from Linsel, who was approaching it, to the dwarf Ink.

The long tongue struck hard against the surface of the iron shield, making another "thud".

The dwarf himself was not knocked back even a step by the impact, and continued to slowly advance with his shield raised.

That's Ink's combat technique [Taunt], well done!

Linsel couldn't help but praise the dwarf adventurer who had taken the risk for him. He then used this opportunity to circle around behind the long-tongued flesh golem and thrust his iron sword at the center of the golem's body.

The fleshy monster was stabbed, lost its balance, and made a dull sound that sounded like a "rumble".

[Long-tongued Flesh Golem, Monster, Health 179/200, Armor: 0]

It caused damage, and it seems to have the same effect as when we killed ordinary flesh golems before, but it wasn't too fatal.

At this moment, Lindsay noticed that "Iron Spear" was ready, and he immediately stepped aside.

The "Iron Spear" pointed spear emitted a silvery-white light, and a white vortex was generated at the spear tip. He held the spear with both hands and thrust forward rapidly with a wave of energy.

not good!

Linsel had already memorized the "Iron Spear's" combat technique [Meteor Spear]. He originally planned to finish the attack after this move, but when he saw the spear adventurer preparing to unleash the move, he did not hesitate at all and immediately moved his left hand forward to aim at the fleshy monster.

If it's the [Meteor Spear], based on past experience, it might be able to instantly kill the Flesh Golem, which would mean losing your own kill.

So, the instant "Iron Spear" unleashes his combat skill, I immediately fire a Flame Arrow. As long as the Flame Trick and his combat skill damage the Meat Monster at the same time, I should be able to get the kill.

"Meteor Spear!"

"Iron Spear" almost always does this when using this move, and his roar immediately draws the attention of everyone present.

It's now!

Linsel released two fire arrows simultaneously from his left palm, while stepping back to avoid being caught off guard by the golem's potential self-destruction after killing it.

The flaming arrow and the spear tip struck the long-tongued flesh monster almost simultaneously, and instantly, the flesh monster exploded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Linsset and "Iron Spear" were both knocked to the ground by the blast wave.

It seems my idea was correct; I've obtained the twenty-eighth monster ability.

After the long-tongued monster was killed, "Broken Arrow" and the others nearby immediately gathered around to check on Lindsay and the other man.

Lindsay got up from the ground, his linen clothes covered with pieces of flesh splattered from the explosion, but he didn't feel any pain or corrosion in his body.

"I just tripped and fell, I'm fine."

"Ouch, my arm!"

Lying on the ground, "Iron Spear" quickly shook off the chunks of flesh from his left arm, then clutched his arm, his expression showing some pain.

"Iron Spear Kid's been corroded by chunks of flesh! Quick, get some ointment and bandages!"

The dwarf calmly shouted at the guards around him, but "Iron Spear" shook his head to stop him.

"Thank you, but this minor injury is nothing to worry about. I brought my own medical supplies. You should go and help the female knight."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to the platform. In their sight, the female knight Karina was still defending against the attacks of the enhanced flesh golem, but she didn't seem to be having any particular difficulty.

Lindsay understood Karina's meaning. Dealing with those flesh golems would be a piece of cake for a gold-level adventurer like her, but she was worried that the self-destruction of the flesh chunks would injure people nearby.

"Sir Knight, the monster below the stage has been defeated!"

It was the guard Leon who reported the situation to the female knight. After that, Karina pushed forward with her fan-shaped shield, knocking the flesh golem on the platform back several steps.

"You're done? Good job. Now move away from the stage!"

Lindsay and his two companions, along with the adventurers and guards, did as instructed and moved away from the dueling arena.

After confirming that everyone had retreated to a safe distance, Karina's half-sword flashed with golden light, and Linsel noticed this.

Golden flashes? That must be another combat technique I've never seen before.

She lunged forward and stabbed at the fleshy monster.

Both were thrusting attacks, but Lindsay noticed that his opponent's strike was very crisp and fluid.

The enhanced flesh golem exploded after being stabbed by this seemingly casual attack, but the flying chunks of flesh were all blocked by the female knight's shield. As everyone below the stage had taken precautions beforehand, no one was injured by the golem's self-destruction.

"Brinan, what kind of combat technique is that? He took it down with a single blow!"

"Broken Arrow" said, "I don't know. Perhaps we could try asking the rider himself."

"No need to ask, that's the [Demon-Slaying Thorn]."

Claire answered Lindsay's question: "That's a technique the female knight learned from the temple; it's especially effective against these evil monsters."

"Can we learn from this?"

"It's not easy, because to learn this kind of sacred combat technique, you first need to have faith in the corresponding deity. As for which deity to believe in, I don't know."

After learning of this, Lindsay did not pursue the matter further.

Combat techniques that require faith in a deity to learn will not be considered for the time being.

After all, there was some concern that after contacting the gods of this world, their various monstrous abilities might be noticed by the gods, causing trouble.

Learning combat skills should be used as a supplementary means; mastering more and more monster abilities is the most important thing.

After the incident, the female knight gathered everyone together and began to take stock of the casualties.

One person died, the short adventurer number seventeen. Apart from him, "Iron Spear" and several other guards who were knocked down only suffered minor injuries.

Several guild staff members returned from outside the training camp after the battle ended and began talking to Karina.

"Regarding the monster encounter at the tournament, I will send my deputy to verify the details with the Adventurers' Guild."

After briefly explaining what had happened to the staff, the female knight apologized to Lindsay and the other adventurers present.

"Thank you so much for risking your lives to help us. Because of this incident, the tournament will have to be postponed, probably by one day."

A bronze-level adventurer was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"So, does that mean the game will continue as scheduled tomorrow? Judging from the damage to the field, I thought the next match would be postponed for several days!"
