Chapter 98: Stage Five Monster! Sword Immortal Arrives!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo Xingyao, Xue Linglong, and the others all felt great pressure. This was a level suppression; it made them instinctively feel fearful!

Link’s deep eyes were still filled with indifference; it was total calmness within.

Stage Four monsters were already considered nothing to the present him! If only Stage Four were monsters in this Hell mode dungeon, he would find it tasteless instead.

Presently, the Stage Five monster’s appearance had made Link slightly more spirited.

After devouring two souls, the Voodoo Priest’s aura—which advanced continuously—finally came to a standstill at Stage Five, Level 3!

Surpassing the remaining monsters’ capabilities by one Stage, the Voodoo Priest caused the ratman and frogman beside him to move away from him slightly.

“Souls filled with chaos and madness, indeed delicious. But these still aren’t enough; I need even more souls...” The Voodoo Priest spoke up hoarsely. His crimson eyeballs looked toward Link and company.

He swung his staff lightly, and the overwhelming crowd of rats parted to form a path.

The ‘Deep One’ frogman and the Fallen Ratman—who’d waited for a long time—pounced in the direction of Link and company together.

At the same time, the battle between the centaur, Luo Xingyao, and the others was about to finish.

Luo Xingyao’s figure leaped out. The [Bow of Elf] in her hands burst out with enchanting rays of light, and the mirage of the Big Dipper’s stars then emerged!

Myriad starlight scattered and condensed to form arrows!

A deafening whistle sounded the next instant, the arrows were released at the same time, and starlight shone in all directions!

It was precisely the skill—[Seven Stars Broken Moon]—that Luo Xingyao had grasped by herself!

[Silvermoon Sword Emperor], Luo Xinghe, also abruptly swung the longsword in his hands. A piercing sword glow wailed out and headed right for the centaur’s head.

Xue Linglong—who was at the side—also flew up. Her figure flickered and turned into a phantom. A chilly glow formed in her hand, and an indistinct dragon roar actually sounded!

A black dragon—condensed via frost—suddenly jumped out; its claws rose as it directly pounced toward the centaur!

This was the [Azure Dragon Vanquish] skill!

Under the biting attacks, the two hideous dog heads at the centaur’s sides suddenly let out long howls.

As they howled, two clouds of terrifying energy were exhaled from the dog mouths!

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded, practically about to tear people’s ear membranes apart!

A frightening shockwave swept through the area. The battle’s repercussions made the ground crack inch by inch like a spiderweb!

Dust and smoke billowed. Unable to discern the actual situation, Xue Linglong and company retreated slightly, their gazes revealing vigilance.

However, a snarl soon sounded!

A figure abruptly dashed out of the smoke and dust, rushing towards the edge of the forest...

It was the centaur, who was covered in wounds. He had been fighting the few people for a long time and suffered the powerful skills’ attacks, but he had yet to die!

“A Stage Four monster’s vitality is actually this terrifying!” Luo Xinghe couldn’t help but gasp inwardly.

The few of them hurriedly charged out, wanting to intercept the fleeing centaur. However, a phantom flashed across right then!

Glimmering together with the phantom was a glaring cold ray of light!

It was Qiao Ruowei and the dagger in her hands!

The [Nightmare Rose] had been hiding for a long time already, and she finally caught a superb opportunity to attack!

Filthy blood spurted in all directions from the centaur’s throat, like a life-stealing rose that bloomed quietly!

This Stage Four monster finally collapsed on the ground, completely lifeless!

Yuna lifted her hand to draw out a streak of holy light, and holy flames blazed around the centaur’s corpse, burning this corpse into ashes!

However, the current situation still did not allow for relaxing.

Xue Linglong and others stood behind Link, solemnly watching that overwhelming mischief of rats—as well as the frogman and ratman, who were swiftly and violently charging toward them.

“Pretty good cooperation.” Link’s tone was cool as he expressed his approval of Xue Linglong and company.

Qiao Ruowei, Luo Xingyao, and the others instantly looked stunned!

Link’s encouragement was rarely heard. Their current exhaustion seemed to be wiped away, and they now felt full of vigor!

With the centaur’s death, hints of surprise flashed through the frogman’s and ratman’s eyes. Earlier, they had spectated the battle at the edge of the forest. Hence, they already knew that Link was a difficult opponent.

However, they never expected that the remaining few people were actually also capable of killing a Stage Four monster after banding together!

This made them slightly surprised.

Meanwhile, a speck of tyrannical killing intent burst out of the Voodoo Priest’s eyes! He originally wanted to devour the centaur’s soul, but Link had already seen through his tricks.

Link had communicated with Yuna in advance through thoughts, telling her to burn the centaur’s corpse and soul into ashes with holy light!

The hunching ratman armed with a huge axe and the frogman soon arrived!

Boom!

Boom!

The huge axe repeatedly struck the holy light screen, causing the golden screen to dim!

On the other hand, the frogman used its webbed hands to grab a long, rusty spear! The long spear came striking, and the holy light screen completely shattered!

The strong stench emitting from the frogman’s body instantly floated into the party’s noses! It was a rotting fishy odor that could almost make one suffocate!

Xue Linglong suppressed the urge to vomit. The long spear in her hand jumped out like a dragon leaving the water, pointing directly at the frogman!

Luo Xinghe also met the hunching ratman, who held a big axe.

A roar instantly exploded!

Even with Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xingyao supporting them from the side, the immense suppression due to their levels still made them helpless.

Luo Xinghe and Xue Linglong were repeatedly forced back and met with several close calls.

The frogman and ratman were extremely furious at this point! The nobodies before them were clearly inferior in terms of capabilities, yet they were able to rely on their teamwork to stop the duo from killing them instantly!

This was virtually an insult to them!

The frogman opened his big mouth, and thick green fog instantly gushed out from his mouth! This was clearly a certain kind of poisonous fog, so everyone hurriedly moved back!

However, the ratman at the side seized the opportunity to brandish his huge axe. The axes’ icy edge spun at high speed, sweeping toward Xue Linglong and others like a typhoon.

At this moment, Link also moved.

As he brazenly charged toward the ratman, golden light rippled around him like a large, unstoppable golden sword.

[Holy Charge]!

Boom!

A loud bang sounded!

The ratman was directly sent flying by the collision like a kite with a broken string!

But Link’s onslaught of attacks had yet to end. The [Ring of Teleportation] on his finger faintly rippled with a silver glow.

[Instant Teleport]—which had the effect of displacement—was launched!

While the Fallen Ratman was still midair, the [King’s Sword]’s released a brilliant golden ray of light and rampantly slashed down toward him!

Pu chi!

A ripping noise sounded!

Dirty blood splashed in the air!

Link directly ripped apart the Fallen Ratman into two sections!

Meanwhile, Link landed lightly. His white robes flapped like he was a sword immortal arriving!

In mere seconds, a Stage Four monster had died on the spot!

This scene took everyone present by surprise and made them somewhat baffled! After all, Link was only a Stage Three powerhouse. Fighting a monster above his level was already exceptional enough and astonishing to others! Yet, who would’ve thought that Link could actually kill a Stage Four monster within a split second!?

Even Xue Linglong and the others—who’d been shocked many times by Link—couldn’t help staring at Link with admiration at this point!

It turned out this man previously had never given his all the whole time. It was no wonder that he could kill a Stage Five monster!

After killing the ratman, Link did not bother with the frogman.

The frogman was a whetstone he was leaving for Xue Linglong and the rest. With Yuna watching at the side, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Link lifted the longsword in his hand, the sword tip pointing right at the Voodoo Priest—who stood at the fringe of the forest!
