Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Chapter 82 Pre-Battle Strength Enhancement Leads to a Spectacular Increase (4k words)

The No. 1 windmill, located in the very center of the windmill village, is 20 meters tall and can still be clearly seen from a distance outside the village.

At this moment, Leo was standing on the roof of the mill.

Behind him, a slowly turning windmill caused his hair to sway slightly.

His location, though not quite 20 meters, is about 15 meters high, roughly the height of a five-story building.

From this height, with this viewpoint, one can see the general situation several kilometers away.

For example, right now.

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly. Ahead, at the edge of the forest, there was a continuous black line heading towards the direction of Windmill Village.

That was the goblin army.

The main body consists of ordinary goblins, but there are also various strange and elite individuals, and even leader individuals.

Among them, the most prominent and eye-catching was the colossal creature, standing four meters tall, that walked ahead of all the goblins.

Judging from its appearance, it can only be barely described as a goblin.

The rough, tough skin resembles multiple layers of thickened rhinoceros hide, giving it an extremely resilient feel.

Her waist and shoulder circumferences were almost identical, and beneath that enormous belly were her muscular thighs. With each step, she left a deep footprint on the ground.

Its right hand dragged a thick hardwood trunk, leaving a long drag mark on the ground.

It's more like an ogre than a goblin.

—Goblin City Destroyer.

A highly mutated goblin lord!

Unlike normal goblin lords who either hide behind the scenes or are protected in the center by layers of the army, it stands so forcefully at the forefront of the army, wantonly showing its presence.

It's as if it's saying, "Go ahead and attack me!"

If I back down, I admit defeat!

One can imagine how unstoppable such a behemoth, dragging heavy weapons, would be once it started charging.

"Is that the Goblin Destroyer? It's a troublesome monster."

The Silver Sword Maiden's calm voice rang in Leo's ears.

She too stood atop the mill, gazing at the distant goblin army, her right hand already resting on the hilt of the longsword at her waist, a faint solemn expression on her face.

"Challenge level is approximately level 6."

Sylvia did not possess any skills like reconnaissance that could indicate the level of challenge, but her years of adventure had allowed her to develop her own unique ability to judge the strength of enemies.

Hearing this, Leo felt a little relieved.

Level 6, not bad at all.

Once you reach the Bronze level, there's a significant difference in strength with each subsequent level.

With his current strength, facing a bronze-level goblin leader is still somewhat risky.

so----

"Let's make a boost first."

Leo's heart stirred, and he looked at the Primordial Mirror within his body.

The 1 point of true attribute extracted from the "Source of Darkness (Small)" is now quietly floating in front of the interface, displaying a pure, bright, pale golden glow.

After a moment's thought, Leo added the real attribute points to the "Agility" attribute.

In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible, only fast is invincible.

Although he follows the professional system and the potion sequence, the principles are the same.

While a water bucket panel is certainly good and the healthiest option, with a formidable enemy at hand, emphasizing one aspect will bring a more significant boost to combat power.

Even without knowing its specific stats, the Goblin Citybreaker's strength and stamina attributes are definitely off the charts just from its appearance.

To wrestle with this kind of monster, you need at least 30 points of strength; it's simply impossible.

Even among bronze-level melee professionals, few possess such power.

When humans fight monsters, they must play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

When facing such a large, bulky monster, agility is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option.

Moreover, the agility attribute can also increase the strength of his shadow power.

The moment he decided to fall, in Leo's "vision," the pale golden liquid that had been floating in front of the Primordial Mirror quietly fell and spread throughout his body.

A slight coolness, accompanied by a strong sense of lightness.

The 1-point increase in agility allowed Leo to make significant progress in speed.

But it's not over yet.

Leo's gaze fell on the [Occupation] section of the panel.

The Warrior class has been at level 1 for quite some time now.

In order to help Sylvia get rid of the Dark Devouring, he revealed his identity as a "professional" in front of the guild leader and others. In this way, there was no need for him to hide anything in order to take up a legendary profession in the future.

As his skills have gradually grown, Leo's mindset has also changed.

When he was weak, he worried about all the risks that existed in the outside world.

However, as his strength increased, many of the dangers he once faced were no longer dangers.

Appropriate "exposure" can even be packaged as his "unique talent".

"upgrade!"

As Leo's thoughts settled, the [Warrior's Mark] hidden deep within his body emitted a faint glow.

It is not dazzling, but gentle and warm.

The next moment, the light spread to every corner of Leo's body.

With the [Warrior's Mark] as the anchor, the recognition from the spirit of the profession crossed the barrier between the ethereal realm and the mortal world, landing on Leo.

The feedback is displayed on the panel, which is:

Strength +1, Stamina +1.

The limit of the [Black Iron Body] is 20 points in all attributes. Before reaching this limit, players can improve their basic attributes by increasing their class level.

However, before deducting the attribute bonus from [Iron Body], the portion of the skill that a professional has not yet reached 10 points can still be improved through mastery and expert-level professional skills.

However, once you reach 10 points, you need master-level professional skills to improve further.

"call----"

Leo took a deep breath, feeling a surge of power within him that made him somewhat intoxicated.

But his advancement is not yet over.

After defeating the Dark Clone, the experience gained from Leo's various skills was added to "Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique," resulting in a total increase of 3000 experience points.

Quite generous.

Although facing the legendary breathing technique with a span of up to 8000 experience points between Iv.4 and Iv.5, 3000 experience points is less than half.

However, this experience was enough to greatly improve his other professional skills.

Convert 1600 points of breathing technique experience, and [Chop] will go from lv.6 to lv.7, reaching the Master level!

By converting 800 points of breathing technique experience, [Parry] has progressed from Iv.5 to lv.6, reaching the expert level!

Convert 755 points of breathing technique experience, and [Shield Counter] goes from Iv.1 to lv.5, reaching the mastery level!

【Slash Iv.7】：——。

Skill effect: Accuracy +2, Strength bonus +2

Mastery Bonus: Strength +1, Stamina +1

Expert Bonus: Agility +1, Spirit +1

Master Bonus: True Power +1. Your slashes will spontaneously gather surrounding ethereal particles, which can damage unseen entities (such as spirits, ghosts, etc.).

Current experience: 0/6400 (You can only continue leveling up after reaching the Bronze rank and mastering the power of the Aether element)

[Parry Iv.6]: One of the most basic defensive techniques.

Skill effects: Resist knockback +1.5, Dissipate force +1.5

Mastery Bonus: Strength +1, Constitution +1

Expert Bonus: Strength +1, Spirit +1

Current experience: 0/3200

[Shield Counter Iv.5]: The core defensive technique of the Shield Guardian —————

Skill effect: Accuracy +1, Strength bonus +1

Mastery Bonus: Stamina +1; When a successful "Shield Parry" is executed, the enemy's "stun" duration is increased by 50%.

Current experience: 0/1600

After deducting the +4 boost to the five-dimensional attributes from [Iron Body] and [Low-Tier Shadow Mastery], Leo's five-dimensional stats all reached 10 points. Therefore, apart from the Master-level [Slash] which brought him 1 point of strength boost, the improvements from the other two skills could not be reflected in his base attributes.

This made Leo very distressed.

Fortunately, skill improvement is not just about increasing basic attributes.

The corresponding skills and various bonuses can all enhance one's strength.

At this point, Leo's panel has changed to:

[Occupation]: Warrior (Level 2, 0%), Thief (Shadow Sequence -9, Compatibility, 160%, Current Digestion: 0%)

【property】:

[Specialties]: Decapitation Master (White), Goblin Slayer (Green, Current Progress: 6006/10000), Hunter's Intuition (Green, Current Progress: 7/30)

Luxurious panel!

Having mastered both realms, Leo's current base attributes are so high that they surpass most Iv.5 professionals.

The maximum value for the "Black Iron Body" attribute is 20 points in the five main attributes. However, in reality, those who can reach 15 points are considered top performers among Black Iron level professionals.

Leo turned off the control panel and turned his gaze to the ferocious, enormous figure in front of the goblin army that was about to arrive at the outskirts of Windmill Village.

"Goblin Siege Breaker!"

A burning fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

The surging power within him gave Leo even more confidence in the upcoming battle plan.

"Rumble—"

Hundreds of goblins swarmed over the outskirts of Windmill Village, easily destroying the fences that blocked their way. As if guided, they surrounded Windmill No. 1.

Five hundred goblins may not sound like much, but in reality, it's a huge swarm.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.

When the vanguard of the goblin army rushed to within 100 meters of Windmill No. 1.

In mid-air, the sound of air being torn apart rang out one after another.

The archers and reserve archers standing at the various windows of the mill loosened the taut bowstrings in their hands.

A total of 8 people fired nearly 100 arrows in less than 3 seconds without pursuing maximum accuracy.

Two Black Iron-level archers were the main force.

They used a skill called "Multi-Shot".

Arrows rained down, piercing the bodies of countless ordinary goblins on both flanks, who fell with screams of agony.

However, these arrows, which do not focus on power and accuracy, cannot pose a real threat to the elite individuals or leaders of the goblin army. Instead, they charge forward even faster out of anger after being wounded by the arrows.

The screams of the "soldiers" under their feet made the goblin siege warriors at the forefront glare even more fiercely.

It raised its head and let out a roar. As it roared, its body seemed to grow even larger, and its charging speed increased dramatically. It actually managed to create distance between itself and the goblin army behind it, intending to knock down Windmill Number One with the power of a single goblin.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earth trembled slightly, and the pebbles on the ground bounced up.

The enormous creature, over four meters tall, dragging a five- or six-meter-long, bucket-thick hardwood trunk, charged forward with a force that was simply indescribable.

The gust of wind that hits you is enough to scare an ordinary person into fainting.

Those who faced this scene, the Iron-level and reserve shield guards standing in front of the entrance to Windmill No. 1, all turned pale.

If they dared to stand in the way of the charging goblin siege warriors, their only fate would be to be smashed into a bloody pulp, bursting into a mist of blood.

At most, some equipment fragments will remain.

Even so, the eyes of these shield guards remained relatively calm.

According to the battle plan, they did not need to stop this enormous monster.

"It's time for us to make our move."

At the top of the mill, Leo chuckled softly.

The moment his voice fell, the Azure Silver Sword Maiden standing beside him had vanished.

Instead, a silver-white rainbow spans nearly fifteen meters from the top of the mill to the Goblin Destroyer.

Its end trailed shards of light, like moonlight and frost, as it gradually disappeared into the air.

"Pfft!"

The goblin city breaker tilted its head slightly, and several cuts nearly ten centimeters deep appeared on its neck and other parts of its body.

Such a deep wound would be fatal to a monster the size of a normal human, capable of severing half of its neck.

However, for the four-meter-tall goblin city breaker, it didn't even manage to cut a quarter of the way in. It was injured, but it wasn't a fatal wound, let alone a serious one.

Its targeted mutation allows it to charge into the city alone, demonstrating its strong confidence in its own "health bar" and "defense capabilities."

Even the wounded goblin siege warrior didn't slow down his charge at all.

Sylvia appeared on the ground a few meters away, holding a longsword that looked like it was formed from moonlight in one hand, her brows furrowed.

The monster's "thick skin" exceeded her expectations.

Given time, she is confident she can complete the campaign, but the problem now is that there is no time.

Her profession made it impossible for her to stop the goblin siegemen's charge and destruction.

"Fortunately, I'm not alone—"

This thought crossed Sylvia's mind.

At the same time, the Goblin Citybreaker, who had rushed several meters further and was only ten meters away from Windmill No. 1, suddenly had several ropes woven from shadow power spring out from under his feet.

The two ends of the telescopic device were wrapped around two small mills nearby.

Anyone who has ridden a horse knows that when a horse charges, it is unstoppable, but the reins are the horse's natural enemy!

No matter how tough the outer protection is, if the center of gravity is disrupted during a charge, the consequences will be catastrophic.

Take, for example, the Goblin City Breaker now.

When it tripped over these shadowy ropes, the kinetic energy it carried caused the shadowy ropes to snap almost completely, and also caused large sections of the walls of the two small mills that were fixed in place to collapse. However, it also disrupted its own balance.

The massive body lost control and tilted forward.

"Boom!"

Dust flew everywhere.
