Chapter 137 A Candid Encounter with Teammates!

After acquiring Molly's attributes, Louis then touched the corpses of the two lich demons and the shadow demon Ymir.

The results were rather lackluster.

As for attributes, they're already maxed out. No matter how high the attributes of the witches are, they can't give Louis even a single point.

In terms of talent and skills, those two damned witches were exactly the same as their companions.

Based on this, it seems that the three witch demons were specialized demons specially bred by the demon realm to control Molly's remains.

Perhaps they are triplets who have lived, ate, and studied together since childhood, otherwise they wouldn't have such a high degree of compatibility.

On the contrary, Ymir gave him a little surprise.

[Shadow Affinity: Greatly increases affinity for darkness and shadows]

This is Ymir's racial talent, which can be combined with Ruan's class talent "Shadow Domination".

From now on, as long as these two talents are used simultaneously, Louis will be able to control the darkness even more effectively.

All I can say is that Ruan's class talent is truly remarkable.

Even with the talents of a level 3 hero and three level 2 demons, Shadow Domination still has a very high usage rate.

Furthermore, due to the increased intelligence and dexterity attributes of Louis, he can develop even more uses for "Shadow Domination".

"I've really become very strong now."

Louis quickly adapted to the changes in himself and murmured contentedly.

To use a cliché analogy, he could easily defeat 10 versions of himself before his job change.

Level 2 professionals no longer posed any threat to him, not even Erisil after her job change.

This is why he wasn't worried about Erisil surpassing him and breaking the bondage of slavery.

She can't surpass her.

Even with the support of the entire royal family's resources, she can't surpass herself, and in the future, she will only be left further and further behind.

Louis is now practically a level three professional, and he can now disregard many things that he used to have to be extremely cautious about.

However, Louis did not become arrogant because of this, nor did he intend to reveal his identity to the world.

After all, according to the information provided by Anredor, the king of the Kingdom of Lotheran does not want any heroes who are not under his control to appear.

Unless they leave the kingdom or possess power that even the king cannot control, revealing their identity will only bring enormous trouble.

In addition, because his strength has increased too quickly and too rapidly, and he is still far from completing the great task of saving five million people, his strength will hardly improve for a long time.

Louis decided to simultaneously advance the progress of the great undertaking and help his teammates improve.

At the very least, the entire team should reach the level of a level 2 professional.

For other professional teams, it would take years to advance from level one to level two for all members.

But Louis's team is different.

From now on, Nora, Dana, and Merry will all gain at least 11 points in the training speed of all basic attributes.

A multiple increase.

In terms of intelligence, one can gain at least a 16-fold increase in cultivation speed.

What other professionals could achieve in a year of hard work, Louis's team could accomplish in a month.

Not to mention he had just acquired the team talent "Enlightenment Enhancement".

This talent not only allows one to quickly grasp skills, learn knowledge, and innovate upon it, but it can also be used to improve basic attributes.

Attributes such as strength, dexterity, intelligence, and magical adaptability, if one possesses exceptional comprehension, can yield results in an hour of training that might be equivalent to a mediocre person's entire day of training.

With all these advantages, Louis was confident that he could get all his team members promoted to Level 2 professionals within a month.

That's the advantage of being a teammate of a hero.

With the support of the team's talent, no matter how fast or fiercely the warrior progresses, the team members can always keep up.

Even compared to all the heroes of the past, Louis's rate of progress was excessively rapid, even unprecedented.

Soon after, dawn arrived.

Nora, Dana, and Merry returned, looking travel-worn.

As soon as they entered, they saw Louis sitting on the sofa.

He timed the team's "off-duty" time perfectly, poured hot tea for his teammates, and quickly invited them to have some tea when they returned.

However, even though Louis's attitude towards them was no different than before, Nora and the others could keenly sense that Louis was different.

He exuded an indescribable and terrifying aura.

That was an aura that even a mere Level 1 ordinary mask couldn't conceal.

Louis might be able to completely suppress this momentum in a few hours, but right now, Nora and the others absolutely cannot ignore it.

This imposing aura stems from a suppression at a life level.

This is someone who could easily take their lives.

Even though they could have absolute trust in Louis, the vast difference between them, like that between a dragon and an ordinary person, made Nora and the other two unable to relax no matter what.

Is this really just a level 2 hero who has just changed jobs?

Why does it feel like their intimidation is even stronger than that of many Level 3 professionals they've encountered?

However, Nora and the others were not entirely unprepared for Louis's change.

Because at some point last night, they suddenly felt that the rate at which all their attributes were improving had reached an extremely exaggerated level.

That's a tenfold or more increase in cultivation speed; even the most slow-witted person could feel the difference.

In particular, the three team members, whose main attributes all included intelligence, saw a significant improvement in their combat performance in just one night.

In precise terms, that's an increase of 1 point in Intelligence.

This is clearly due to Louis's team's accelerated talent development.

They all understood the mechanism of this talent: for every point Louis's attribute was ahead of theirs, their training speed in that attribute would double as usual.

Their cultivation speed across all attributes was already several times faster than normal, but it increased by more than ten times on average overnight.

This can only mean that Louis's attributes increased more than tenfold overnight.

He didn't just change jobs once tonight; he immediately raised all his attributes to the current level cap right after changing jobs.

Having anticipated this, Nora and the others did not react too strongly when they witnessed Louis's transformation.

Even so, the shock lingered for a long time.

Their captain's innate talent seems to be even stronger and more incredible than expected.

By now, Louis could no longer hide the truth.

He coughed lightly and looked at his teammates solemnly, saying, "Just last night, I inherited Molly's power from her remains. I think you all had some guesses about what's special about me."

"This is a talent I possessed even before I became a hero, and it is also my greatest secret."

"Nora, Dana, and Merry, only the three of you know about this besides me. I hope you can keep it a secret and not tell anyone."

Hearing Louis's incredibly sincere words, the three team members all became serious.

After a few seconds of silence, Dina slowly spoke: "Louis, if I am unfortunately captured by the demons in the future, I will do everything in my power to commit suicide, and I will never let this secret fall into the hands of the enemy."

Louis: "————"

Can a female knight really refrain from displaying such a flag?

However, Louis could tell from Dina's words that she was serious.

He smiled and said, "We are teammates, and we always advance and retreat together. I will not let a teammate be captured alone."
