Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Huff... huff..."

Leo gasped for breath, and looking at the headless giant wolf's corpse lying on the ground before him, his tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

Won!

Having faced life and death earlier, he didn't have time to think too much and could only do his best to continuously increase the intensity of his strikes.

There wasn't even time to check what the specific effects of the level 6 [Slash] were.

Only now did he have the chance to see it.

-

【Slashing Lv.6】: One of the most basic blade weapon techniques. Abandon all fancy moves and perfectly concentrate all your strength and center of gravity into the weapon to pursue ultimate destructive power.

Skill effect: Accuracy +1.5, Strength bonus +1.5

Mastery Bonus: Strength +1, Stamina +1

Expert Bonus: Agility +1, Spirit +1

Current experience: 1500/3200

-

At first glance, Leo was dazzled by the "gorgeous" attribute bonuses.

The skill effect of 【Slash Lv.5】 is "Accuracy +1, Strength +1", and now, both of these values ​​have been increased by 50%!

Compared to the 0.2 increase per level from lv.1 to lv.5, it's more than one level stronger!

Not to mention, there's an additional "expert bonus": a 1-point increase in base attributes, Agility, and Spirit!

With such a terrifying increase, it's no wonder that even without the support of [Slide Step] and [Cat Breathing Technique], the intensity and speed of his strike just now were even higher!

Immediately afterwards, Leo's attention was drawn to the extra "1200" skill experience points.

Such a massive amount of skill experience is almost equivalent to eight days of arduous training.

"No wonder adventurers say that life-or-death battles are the best skill instructors."

"Of course, that's assuming you survive."

A battle on the brink of life and death may yield high rewards, but if you fail even once, everything will lose its meaning.

A series of reflections, seemingly lengthy, were actually contained in the blink of an eye.

Leo took a deep breath to calm his heavy breathing, and then strode forward.

His target is the remaining 5 ferocious wolf cubs!

Without the protection of the male ferocious wolf, the wolf cubs' resistance was futile.

Before long, with the help of the orc Goldo and the dwarf Damian, all five little ferocious wolves became victims of Leo's sword.

With a thought, Leo invested all 600 skill experience points from killing the five small ferocious wolves, along with the 1200 skill experience points he had previously gained, into [Slide Step] and [Cat Breathing Technique].

[Slide Step] Returned to lv.5, consuming 1510 skill experience points.

[Cat Breathing Technique] Returned to lv2, consuming 220 skill experience points (double consumption).

At this point, Leo's attribute panel has become:

-

【属性】：力量6、体质6、敏捷7、精神6、感知7

【技能】：劈砍lv.6（0/3200）、滑步lv.5（0/1600）、灵猫呼吸法lv.2（35/200）、爆熊呼吸法lv.1（0/100）

[Talent]: Primordial Mirror (Odd Color - Crimson)

-

Compared to before this battle, his breathing technique level was one level lower, but his [Slash] level was one level higher.

With one increase and one decrease, his overall strength is far superior to before.

"Huff... huff..."

With the death of the last ferocious wolf cub, the orc could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, only managing to stay upright thanks to the greatsword he was holding.

Damian the dwarf wasn't in much better shape. The relentless "precision shooting" had brought his physical and mental strength to the brink of exhaustion, and he was now barely able to stand.

Given their condition, it's impossible for the two of them to support Sekoda and his group.

"Mr. Leo, don't worry about us... Quickly... Quickly go and support Lord Sekoda and Lord Guts!"

Damian could still speak, though his voice was hurried.

Leo nodded without saying anything more, picked up his iron sword, and ran quickly toward another battlefield.

……

"Thump!"

With a low thud, Guts, who had been holding his giant axe in front of him, was knocked back by the wolf's claws slapped down by the mother wolf.

He was breathing rapidly, and his body was covered with multiple deep wounds that exposed bone, from which blood was constantly oozing out.

The effects of the Bear Breathing Technique were no longer as potent as they had been at their peak, to the point that his strength had begun to weaken compared to that of the female ferocious wolf.

Even so, Guts showed no sign of backing down.

If he retreats, the mother wolf will be left unchecked, and the situation will completely collapse.

"Pfft!"

A figure appeared behind the mother wolf, a dagger aimed at its hind heel.

It's Saikeda.

After suffering a loss once, the roaming wolf stopped attacking the mother wolf's vital organs such as the heart and brain, and instead attacked its tendons and abdomen.

As it turns out, the ability to "darkly transform" and forcibly evade harm is a huge burden for the female ferocious wolf, and she will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Faced with a non-vital attack like that from Cykta, it either tries to dodge or takes the hit head-on.

After a fierce battle, Gus and Sekoda were both badly injured, but the mother wolf was also wounded, with her right hind leg injured, which greatly reduced her speed and agility.

"Bang!"

After being knocked away by the wolf's tail, Sekoda landed and blood once again spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He could feel that his right arm bone was broken and he had lost the ability to move.

Left with no other choice, he had to switch the dagger to his left hand, leaving his right hand hanging limply.

Looking at Gus, who was bleeding and trying his best to entangle the mother wolf, Sekoda gasped for breath.

He knew that, given the current situation, he and Gus were in no position to defeat the mother wolf, no matter what.

In a little while, when the two of them can no longer hold on, allowing the female ferocious wolf to escape and reunite with the male ferocious wolf, Leo and his two companions will soon perish.

No, perhaps we won't even need to wait for the mother wolf to escape.

With the help of numerous ferocious little wolves, it's uncertain whether Leo and his team can hold out until now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get distracted and turned his attention to another part of the battle.

Upon seeing this, Sekoda's eyes widened in surprise.

Where are the wolves?

Where did that huge male ferocious wolf and all those little ferocious wolves go?

The fierce battle with the mother wolf was too dangerous. Sekoda had not dared to be distracted before, but now, seeing it, he was filled with shock and doubt.

But soon, his doubts were dispelled by a figure that flew by at lightning speed.

Clad in leather armor, a tall and agile figure, holding an iron sword.

Behind him, in the dense bushes, lay the headless carcasses of wolves, forever resting there.

"Leo?!"

Sekoda couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Mr. Sekoda, I'm here to help you."

The young man's voice echoed in his ears, and Sekoda instantly realized that the reason why the male ferocious wolf and so many ferocious wolves had "disappeared" was because they had been killed.

The one who launched the attack was none other than the young man who had come to provide support.

How did he manage to do that?

But at this moment, Sekoda had no time to think. He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, replied "Okay," and joined the battle with Leo.

Originally, although Cykda and Gus were at a disadvantage, they were still able to hold off the mother wolf.

The relative strengths of the two sides are roughly 45:55.

Now, Leo's addition has become the final factor that breaks the balance.

After a while.

"Pfft!"

Having exhausted her ether, the female ferocious wolf, who failed to dodge a fatal attack with "Dark Shapeshifting," was beheaded by Leo with a full-force sword strike.

The enormous wolf head fell to the ground, its eyes filled with resentment and ferocity.

If it weren't for this suddenly appearing "human," it would have been on the verge of victory...

"Huff! Huff!"

After the battle, Guts, already covered in wounds, gave Leo a big thumbs-up, then his eyelids rolled back and he fell straight backward.

Sekoda appeared behind Gus and tried to support him with his still intact left hand. Unfortunately, he overestimated his strength and underestimated the weight of Gus's large body, and was almost crushed to the ground.

However, thanks to his support, Guts, though he fell to the ground, did not suffer any secondary injury.

"This guy is heavier than a bear!"

Sekoda grimaced and swung his left hand.

"Tap tap..."

Just then, footsteps approached; they were from orcs and dwarves.

The four men looked at each other, observing the bruises on each other's bodies.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting beams of light that illuminated the genuine smiles on the faces of the group, reflecting their relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Survive..."
