Chapter 121 A Star Level That Only the Hero Can Reach!

Although Tiga is bloodthirsty in battle, she does not linger in combat and will retreat at any moment.

She hoisted the succubus's corpse onto her shoulder, elbowed the charging rock bear, broke through the encirclement of level 1 monsters, and rejoined Louis and the others.

"Tiga, I'll lead the way. You take care of those level 1 monsters behind us. Dina and Nora, go and clear out the monsters that are attacking from the flanks."

Louis swiftly issued orders, instructing his teammates to perform their duties, and then decisively pulled out the Mercury Shield from his magic pocket and activated "Giant Shield Impact".

With the giant shield at his front, he charged forward like a raging bull.

The monsters that surrounded them along the way were all killed or sent flying by the impact.

Even as more and more monsters were drawn by the succubus's dying screams, Louis's speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Behind Louis, even more monsters had already surrounded him.

Especially those level 1 monsters that had been controlled by the succubus, which relentlessly pursued them.

Harassed by this group of level 1 monsters, even a powerful general like Tiga couldn't retreat and kill enemies at the same time; he could only fight and retreat simultaneously.

The corpses controlled by Dana and Nora were responsible for the two flanks respectively. At first, there weren't many monsters surrounding them, and they could handle them with ease. However, as the enemies gathered like a tide, ordinary attack methods became ineffective.

"I'll clear the area."

Dai Na spoke in a deep voice.

She raised the longsword in her hand, and all the magic power in her body gathered on the blade.

After a period of rigorous training and nourishment from various high-quality potions and magic crystals, Daina's magic adaptability has reached 16, and her intelligence has reached 15.

These two attributes are closely related to the power of "Magic Unleashed".

In addition, Dana also has a full 10 points of magic power stored in her body, which Louis specially replenished for her before she left, in order to deal with any unexpected situations.

At this moment, all twenty-five points of magic power converged on the sword, shining with a dazzling, fiery red light like the sun.

Her target was the level 1 monsters chasing directly behind her, which were obviously the biggest threat.

Tiga, who was entangled with a level 1 monster, immediately retreated and flashed behind Dina.

"Magic! Unleash!"

The blue-haired girl let out a sharp shout and swung her fiery red longsword down heavily.

boom-

A dazzling, fiery red beam of light, nearly five meters in diameter, burst forth on the battlefield.

Wherever the light cannon passed, countless monsters were engulfed by the flames.

Even the tough-skinned level 1 monsters, including the Rock Bear, were all being subjected to the high temperature, their skin torn open and their flesh charred.

This beam of light, stretching over a hundred meters, affected at least five hundred demons, the vast majority of whom were naturally burned to death.

Those who weren't burned to death were at least severely injured and unable to pursue the enemy any further.

This attack created a vacuum in the horde of monsters chasing them, and freed up Tiga, a super-powerful fighter.

Dealing with the remaining monsters also became quite easy.

A moment later, Louis, covered in a pile of monster flesh, arrived at the entrance of the sewage pipe.

Nora's undead soldiers were already waiting here, fully armed, to provide support.

After Louis and his party entered the sewage outlet, the undead soldiers opened fire in unison and threw a bunch of grenades, scattering the monsters that were chasing them.

The allure of the succubus's voice was clearly time-limited; less than half a minute later, the monsters showed signs of dispersing and did not venture into the drain to continue their pursuit.

"The assassination plan has been successfully completed."

Louis shook off the bits of meat clinging to his Mercury Shield and let out a long sigh of relief.

He handed the magic pouch containing the corpses of the Brain-Eating Monkey and the King Goblin to Nora, and then began examining the two...

The attributes obtained from monsters of the highest level.

Louis only gained +1 to Demonic Transformation from the brain-eating monkey, along with a bunch of level 0 skills and a few level 1 skills.

"The innate abilities belonging to the brain-eating monkey clan seem to be impossible to acquire repeatedly or synthesize into three-star talents," which Louis found somewhat regrettable.

He gained 2 points of strength, 1 point of stamina, and 1 point of demonization from the King Goblin.

Once all of his basic attributes except Faith reach 15 or more, even a level 1 monster will provide him with very few attribute points.

The King Goblin's talent is called "King's Stance".

This is a leadership-type talent, and only naturally intelligent, strong, and charismatic goblins have a chance to awaken it.

The talent effect has a suppressive effect on those of the same kind who are weaker than themselves, and can increase the obedience of those of the same kind who are weaker than themselves.

This talent is undeniably powerful. If a general commanding tens of thousands of troops were to acquire this skill, he could instantly become a renowned general skilled in managing his subordinates.

However, its usefulness was rather limited for Louis.

He can only command his teammates, and he doesn't want to use this talent to increase his dominance.

Fortunately, this is an active talent, so it's fine as long as it's not activated.

Besides these, the King Goblin has some other skills, but their effects are generally mediocre. We'll melt them together later to increase the proficiency of the more useful skills.

After checking the loot obtained from the level 1 monster, Louis immediately went to Tiga's side.

At the feet of the white tiger orc lay a corpse with its chest pierced.

Only then did Louis have time to examine the succubus's appearance.

She had a pair of goat hooves, gray hair, and a pair of small horns hidden in the hair on both sides of her head. Her bewitching face still bore traces of fear and despair.

Needless to say, her figure is stunning; not only is she alluring, but she's also scantily clad, which can arouse the desires of many men.

Of course—this refers to during one's lifetime.

As he looked at it, Louis squatted down and touched the succubus's corpse.

The next second, the notification sound from the cheat system rang in my ears.

[You have picked up the corpse of a level 1 succubus. Attributes: Intelligence +5, Stamina +4, Demonic Transformation +2 (maxed out)]

[Gained the talent "Succubus Physique"]

[Gained Level 1 skills: Charm, Slave's Heart, Succubus Tactics]

[Gained Level 0 skill: ————]

Hmm? Two racial talents?

Louis raised an eyebrow.

He thought racial talents were like class talents, with one being gained at each level.

Could it be that this succubus acquired a racial talent during her semi-professional stage?

If even the succubi of the upper-middle-level demon races are like this, then wouldn't the legendary demon royal family be born with several kinds of talents?

Louis finally understood why the demon race could become the greatest enemy of humans, elves, and even various intelligent races—their racial stats were inherently ridiculously high.

Besides the unique racial talents, Louis was also amazed by the gains in attributes and skills.

The three level 1 skills all look quite effective.

The 5 points of Intelligence and 4 points of Stamina further boosted his two attributes to a total of 20 points.

Aside from his magic adaptability, four of his eight basic attributes have already reached the maximum value of 20! Just one more attribute at the maximum value and he'll meet the requirements for job advancement!

"If we're talking about strength, what star level am I now?"

Louis calculated in his mind that 20 points of magic adaptability would count as 1 star, four full-value attributes would count as 4 stars, and all other attributes reaching 15 points or more would count as another 1 star.

In other words, he is now a level 1, 6-star powerhouse.

Among human professionals, this is a star level that only the brave can achieve!
