Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Pfft!"

With the last elite goblin—the goblin hunter hiding in a corner, attempting to launch a sneak attack—being slain by Leo's sword, the remaining ordinary goblins were gripped by intense panic and scattered in all directions.

Leo let out a sigh of relief and did not pursue.

Firstly, the mine tunnels are interconnected, making it easy to get lost while chasing these ordinary goblins.

Secondly, with his current strength, killing ordinary goblins would no longer provide him with "combat experience".

Instead of wasting time on these small fry, we should continue our exploration and find Captain Gomez and his men as soon as possible.

After the battle ended, Cecilia walked lightly out of the mine tunnel behind them. Looking at the young man's back, the shock in her eyes grew even stronger.

She originally thought that Leo had become a professional, which was why he had such formidable strength.

However, in several subsequent encounters, she realized that Leo did not possess the unique power of the Etheric Particles that professionals possess.

He relied on his attributes and skills to gain strength comparable to that of a professional, despite being a mere mortal!

So, such geniuses really do exist...

Before meeting Leo, Cecilia always thought that such a person was just a legend told by bards.

Walking up to Leo, the elven archer whispered, "We've already passed three mine tunnel nodes."

"Following the network of mine tunnels, going one or two more tunnel nodes should lead to the deepest part of the mine."

"This is Hassen's previous analysis. Mines and tunnels are sparsely distributed, which is the dwarves' specialty."

"If the captain and the others also keep moving forward, the chances of us meeting will be very high."

Leo nodded slightly.

At the same time, he looked at his own control panel.

As they ventured deeper and killed ordinary goblins, Leo gained no real combat experience.

However, each of those challenging monsters and elite goblins can provide him with an average of about 500 points of combat experience.

He incorporated all of this experience into the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique.

This is currently the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness.

The level 2 Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique provides a greater attribute bonus than the level 3 Ordinary Breathing Technique.

-

[Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique lv.2]: ...

技能效果一·猎杀之狼：开启后，精力消耗提升450%，同时，力量+1、体力+1、敏捷+2、精神+1、感知+2

Skill Effect 2 - Deadly Wolf: When activated, there is a 2% chance to discover the enemy's "weakness" in battle. Hitting the weakness will deal critical damage that ignores defense.

Skill Effect 3 - Plundering Wolf: By hunting dragon beasts, you can gain free attribute points...

Current experience: 1045/2000

-

Without being able to perceive and utilize the Etheric Particles, the attribute limit for an ordinary person is 10 points.

However, the attribute boosts brought by breathing techniques are essentially bursts of power from pushing one's limits, and they are effective.

On the surface, Leo's attributes are:

力量9、体质10、敏捷10、精神8、感知9

Once the breathing technique is activated, the level will immediately surge to:

力量10、体质11、敏捷12、精神9、感知11

Although these improved attributes cannot be used as the basic attribute requirements for employment.

However, this is enough to make his actual combat strength surpass that of a normal level 1 warrior, even without the [Warrior Mark].

Speaking of professional ranks.

Leo couldn't help but focus his gaze on the first line of the panel.

—【Class】: Warrior (Level 1, 100%, lacks 【Warrior Mark】, cannot advance in level through Class Spirit)

"Upgrade, huh...?"

He muttered to himself.

In this world's professional system, strength is measured by rank.

After taking up a job, there are two ways to get promoted.

First, practice diligently.

As long as you engage in behaviors that align with your profession, such as training your professional skills and adhering to professional standards, you can advance your level. Once you reach the required progress, you can level up and gain more passive skills, as well as improvements to your basic attributes.

Second, combat.

Most professions are essentially born for combat. Whether it's slaying monsters or exploring dungeons, they can all advance their profession's progress.

The underlying principles are quite complex, and Leo did not delve into them.

But no matter which method you choose, upgrading is not an easy task.

Leo's situation is rather special.

He almost single-handedly defeated nearly ten challenging monsters in a short period of time.

Even though these monsters were weaker than others of the same level, they were still considered quite "eye-catching" in the assessment of the profession spirit. Therefore, his profession level progress was directly maxed out.

Under normal circumstances, the level progress that an individual can make when a team is hunting monsters is quite slow.

Including the time for pre-service investigation and injury recovery, most professionals spend many years in the industry before they can painstakingly advance to the next professional level.

Should we upgrade?

After a moment's thought, Leo decided to postpone the upgrade.

To upgrade, he would have to adjust his skills and activate the [Warrior's Mark]. However, if he did that, he might expose the secret of the Primordial Mirror if he later took on other professions.

Besides, his current strength is more or less sufficient.

In case of a real crisis, there's still time to adjust and upgrade.

With that thought in mind, Leo looked away from the panel and continued forward.

The deeper they went into the mine, the darker the tunnels became. A faint chill seemed to permeate the air, causing Cecilia, who was slightly weaker, to shiver.

After defeating several patrolling squads of ordinary goblins, the light ahead gradually increased.

Soon, a remarkably spacious large cave appeared before Leo's eyes.

The mine tunnel where he was located was in a relatively high area. Looking down from this vantage point, he could see a large number of demons gathered inside the large cave.

Leo glanced at it and couldn't help but frown.

Among them were three monsters, three or four elite goblins, and most importantly, in the center surrounded by many monsters, there was an exceptionally large goblin sitting there.

It stands nearly 2.5 meters tall, with a muscular and well-built physique, covered in crisscrossing scars.

It wore heavy plate armor pieced together from black iron ore and the bones of giant beasts, and was covered with dark red runes symbolizing command.

Its eyes were no longer the murky yellow of ordinary goblins, but instead gleamed with a cold, rational, blood-red light.

"Leader Individual!"

With just one glance, Leo was able to identify the unusual goblin.

Moreover, this guy's challenge level is definitely more than level 1!

Leo shifted his gaze back.

Behind the cave below, there is a deep passage, which is the only path leading to the deeper parts of the mine.

This means that to go deeper, one must defeat the goblin leader who is entrenched in this area, as well as numerous monsters and elite goblins.

Even though Leo believed he possessed strength surpassing that of a level 1 warrior, facing so many monsters at the same time was clearly beyond his capabilities.

Just as he was pondering what to do...

suddenly.

"boom!"

A violent explosion, accompanied by light and heat, erupted in his field of vision.

In the enclosed environment of a mine, the power of an explosion is multiplied many times over.

The terrifying shockwave momentarily blinded Leo.

But his gaze remained firmly fixed ahead.

Amidst the explosion, several sharp boulders crashed down from above the large cave, plunging the entire monster horde into chaos.

At the same time, three dark figures jumped down from the opposite rock wall mine tunnel, their target the goblin leader in the center.

Although the light was relatively dim, Leo still recognized the three people.

It's Cykta, Guts, and Captain Goblin!

That's good, he doesn't have to think about what to do anymore.

His teammates had already started "fighting," so he couldn't just stand by and watch.

He alone would find it difficult to deal with so many monsters, but with three professional teammates, it would be a different story.

Leo's brows relaxed, he drew his sharp sword, and joined the group without hesitation.
