11: Chapter 11's Holy Light spell, capable of critical hits, shocked Lilia.
Leading Lilia, Lin Muyang moved quickly and silently behind a relatively hidden rock near the cave entrance, ensuring they wouldn't be spotted by any monsters that might spawn or patrol.
Although they were in a state of invisibility, there was nothing wrong with being cautious.
“We need to understand the internal structure of this nest first,” Lin Muyang whispered to Lilia, then began to communicate with the Supreme Halo system in his mind.
His consciousness quickly searched through the numerous auxiliary-type Auras and soon locked onto one perfectly suited for reconnaissance.
【Divine Sight (God-Tier Aura)】: Upon activation, your consciousness will temporarily transcend the physical body, gaining a freely controllable global observation perspective that ignores terrain obstacles (commonly known as 'God's Eye View'). The range of the perspective is positively correlated with your Spirit attribute and can expand as your level increases.
The description of this Aura was concise and clear, but its effect on reconnaissance was nothing short of heaven-defying.
Lin Muyang activated it without hesitation, replacing his current Divine Concealment Aura. Since they were in a safe position for now, he didn't need invisibility for the moment.
The moment the Aura activated, Lin Muyang felt as if his vision had split into two parts.
One part was still observing the cave entrance in front of him and Lilia by his side through his own eyes.
The other part was a 'camera' hovering above the cave that could be freely controlled by his thoughts! This perspective could rotate 360 degrees without blind spots and could penetrate obstacles like rocks and walls to directly observe the scenes behind them!
“Too strong...” Even Lin Muyang himself was shocked by this miraculous effect.
He hesitated no longer, concentrating his mind on controlling this 'God's Eye View,' advancing rapidly into the depths of the Goblin Nest as if operating a drone.
His vision passed through winding tunnels, over crude outposts and traps, taking in the entire structure of the nest. Where the mobs swarmed, where the annoying bear traps and falling rock traps were placed, where the elite monsters resided, and the relatively spacious cavern where the final BOSS was located... All the information was clearly imprinted in his mind like a three-dimensional map.
The entire reconnaissance process took less than two minutes.
“Two elite leaders, one final BOSS. There are about forty mobs, concentrated in distribution...” Lin Muyang withdrew the God's Eye View, having already quickly formulated a general clearing route and tactics in his mind.
The difficulty of this bronze-tier instance dungeon, the 'Goblin Nest,' was indeed very high for an ordinary team of novice Class Transferees. The goblin mobs inside had nearly double the health, attack power, and defense compared to their counterparts in Iron-tier Dungeons! Not to mention those two elite leaders and the final BOSS.
But for Lin Muyang, who had already gained insight into the distribution of all monsters and held God-Tier Auras in his hands, none of this was a problem anymore. Knowing himself and his enemy, combined with absolute overwhelming strength, clearing it was only a matter of time.
“Reconnaissance is mostly done,” Lin Muyang said to Lilia, who was looking at him curiously. “Prepare to start clearing. First, cast an 'Offensive Blessing' on yourself.”
“Okay.” This time, Lilia didn't have any questions and nodded obediently.
In a dangerous environment like a Dungeon, she knew very well that she had to follow orders. Moreover, for some reason, after witnessing Lin Muyang's endless stream of bizarre abilities, the sense of trust in this human master was growing bit by bit in the depths of her heart.
Furthermore, even if she accidentally 'died' here, her soul would merely return to the Elf world to await a re-summoning. But if Lin Muyang died here, it would be the true end of his life. She believed Lin Muyang would never joke with his own life.
She raised the novice priest staff given by the system, which emitted a faint white light, and softly chanted a line in the Elven language. A soft golden light descended from the sky, enveloping her.
【Offensive Blessing】 in effect! Her total damage output was increased by 30%!
“There are only two Goblin Guards at the entrance. Go straight over and clear them out,” Lin Muyang gave the order.
“???”
A puzzled expression appeared on Lilia's face again: “Are we... not going to maintain our invisibility?”
She thought Lin Muyang would use that perfect invisibility to launch sneak attacks or avoid unnecessary combat.
“No invisibility,” Lin Muyang answered concisely.
He was a bit speechless. Did this Elf girl think he was going to rely on invisibility to let her slowly grind down every mob in the Dungeon with Holy Light Spell one by one?
If they really did that, with her basic damage capability, it would probably take four or five casts of Holy Light Spell just to kill one mob. To clear this bronze-tier instance dungeon with over forty monsters, wouldn't it take several hours? That efficiency was too low!
Lilia was still somewhat unconvinced in her heart. Why not use such a good invisibility ability? But she couldn't disobey Lin Muyang's order, so she could only walk out from behind the hiding rock with a mind full of questions and a hint of a small temper.
She aimed at the closer Goblin Guard, raised her staff, and silently recited the incantation in her heart.
“Holy Light Spell!”
A brilliant golden pillar of light, full of sacred Aura, instantly pierced through the dim air in the cave, accurately striking the ugly head of that Goblin Guard!
A massive damage number, completely beyond Lilia's expectations, floated up from the Goblin Guard's head!
724!
Critical Hit!
That Goblin Guard didn't even have time to groan before being sent flying as if hit by a heavy hammer, crashing heavily against the rock wall, then sliding limply to the ground, becoming a gradually cooling corpse.
Instant kill!
Lilia: “???”
She stood frozen in place, holding her staff, her beautiful eyes wide and round, her small mouth slightly agape, her face written with confusion and disbelief.
What... what is going on?!
When did my Holy Light Spell... become this powerful?!
According to her self-knowledge and her perception of the Goblin Guard's life energy during the reconnaissance just now, the damage of one of her Holy Light Spells should theoretically be around 70 points! Even with the 30% increase from Offensive Blessing, it could absolutely not exceed 100 points!
But that damage number of 724 just now, which even triggered a critical hit... this was completely beyond her scope of understanding!
She even wondered if she was seeing things, or if the monsters in this Dungeon were actually made of paper?
However, reality allowed her no time for careful thought.
Seeing its companion die a tragic death instantly, the other Goblin Guard let out an angry “ga-ga” squawk, brandished a crude wooden club, and charged towards Lilia with a ferocious face!
Lilia's heart tightened. With no time to think about the reason, her survival instinct made her quickly raise her staff again.
“Holy Light Spell!”
Another golden pillar of light fell!
719!
No critical hit, but the damage was still ridiculously high!
The second Goblin Guard's charging posture came to an abrupt halt as it followed in its companion's footsteps, collapsing to the ground as the second corpse.
A brief silence returned to the entrance of the passage.
Only then did Lilia finally have a chance to regain her composure. Suppressing the stormy waves in her heart, she carefully checked the status effects active on her.
Besides the glowing icon of her own 【Offensive Blessing】, she was shocked to find that a buff icon she had never seen before, emitting a dark-gold light, had appeared in her status bar at some point!
【Indestructible (God-Tier Aura Buff)】: All types of damage you deal are increased by 1000%!
“All... all damage... increased tenfold?!”
Looking at that effect description, Lilia felt as if her breathing was about to stop.
She finally understood where that ridiculous damage came from!
The 30% increase from Offensive Blessing was simply insignificant in the face of this terrifying tenfold damage!
It was this Aura! It was Lin Muyang's ability!
She turned her head sharply to look at Lin Muyang, who was still standing leisurely by the rock, her eyes filled with immense shock.
This human... he actually possessed such a heaven-defying ability?! Directly increasing her damage output by tenfold?!
What did this mean? It meant that she, a priest who was originally focused on healing and support, had instantly transformed into a terrifying artillery battery comparable to top-tier output classes of the same level after being buffed by this Aura!
The health of mobs in a bronze-tier instance dungeon was roughly between 350 to 400 points. Her Holy Light Spell, with a basic damage of around 70 points, could easily deal over 700 damage after being magnified tenfold!
This wasn't just an instant kill; it was an overkill! The opponent was dead, and their health bar would still be in the negative!
Lilia felt her worldview being subjected to a massive impact.
“In other words, his miraculous Auras seem unable to exist simultaneously? Invisibility and this tenfold attack, only one can be active at a time?”
She was very clever and immediately deduced some of the limitations of Lin Muyang's ability based on the phenomena.
Although there seemed to be limitations... even so, this ability was already powerful enough to be outrageous! He could switch between different heaven-defying effects depending on the situation!
What she didn't know was that Lin Muyang only needed to reach Level 5 to unlock a second Aura slot, at which time he could activate two Auras simultaneously! That would be the moment when this Supreme Halo talent truly began to reveal its terrifying power!
While Lilia was immersed in shock, Lin Muyang had already switched Auras again.
【Loot Extraction (God-Tier Aura)】: Upon activation, automatically performs a ritual on all monster corpses within the Aura range that were killed by you and your team. Effect: Immediately extract 1 additional loot drop from each corpse (this effect can be applied to a single corpse up to 10 times), and each extraction has a 25% chance to increase the grade of the obtained loot by 1 level. Cooldown: None.
This was an Aura that could be called a corpse-looting divine skill!
In a Dungeon, the probability of ordinary mobs dropping loot is very low; many times, after clearing an entire Dungeon, one might not even get a few items from the mobs.
But after turning on the Loot Extraction Aura, Lin Muyang essentially possessed an automatic corpse looter with a tenfold drop rate! He could even have a chance to improve the quality of the drops!
For example, in this Goblin Nest (bronze-tier instance dungeon), if a bronze-quality piece of equipment was looted, there was a 25% chance it would be directly upgraded to the higher Silver quality!
Therefore, during non-combat time, especially after clearing monsters, activating this Aura was definitely the choice to maximize gains!
As Lin Muyang activated the Aura, a gray energy wave, carrying a hint of bizarre and ominous Aura, quietly spread out with him as the center.
When this energy swept over the corpses of those two Goblin Guards, something strange happened!
Specks of faint light floated up from the corpses and quickly condensed into form—a book emitting a faint skill luster and a piece of leather equipment that looked like a bracer appeared out of thin air beside the corpses!
“Wow!”
Seeing this scene, Lilia's eyes immediately lit up, and an excited light sparkled in her deep blue eyes.
She didn't know Lin Muyang had turned on a God-Tier Aura specifically for “looting corpses,” thinking instead that it was her own bursting luck or a manifestation of the Elf Race being blessed by nature.
She immediately puffed out her chest, a smug expression appearing on her fair face as if she had achieved a great feat, and raised her sharp chin at Lin Muyang:
“Hmph! See that, human! Two lowest-level mobs actually dropped two pieces of loot at once! This must be the good luck brought by This Princess!”
“Hurry up and thank This Princess!”
