16: Chapter 16 Who lets their healer farm monsters?

Over ten kilometers away.

An energy vortex, hovering in mid-air and emitting a faint bronze glow, was slowly rotating. This was one of the remaining bronze-tier instance dungeons in the City South Secret Realm Area.

A swift figure dropped from the sky and landed steadily beside the Dungeon entrance. It was a middle-aged man with a slightly weathered face and stubble, wearing a City Defense Force uniform—Sun Wenyuan.

Frowning, he checked the status information displayed next to the Dungeon entrance:

[Dungeon Level: Level 6]

[Dungeon Quality: bronze rank]

[Dungeon Players: 1/4] (Summoned Lilia does not count)

[Dungeon Status: Locked (No more Class Transferees can enter)]

"As expected..."

"Someone really is soloing it inside."

Sun Wenyuan's expression turned serious as he looked at the "1/4" player count and the "Locked" status.

According to what Shen Muyao and the others said, this mysterious fellow could solo a bronze-tier instance dungeon in about ten minutes on average!

If all of this was true...

Then the professional talent this person possessed had absolutely reached the appalling SSS-rank!

His future potential and achievements would likely far exceed those of an ordinary powerhouse like Sun Wenyuan, who had lingered at level ninety-something for many years, and might even surpass Shen Muyao's powerful parents!

Sun Wenyuan was filled with curiosity about such an existence, but he also harbored the intent to seek justice for Shen Muyao and her friends.

So, he had come.

A Level 95 [Divine Archer] was personally standing guard at this Dungeon entrance.

He took a deep breath, a sharp light flashing in his eyes as an invisible ripple of energy spread out from him as the center.

Skill—[Falcons Eye]!

This skill granted him a stealth-detection level as high as Level 11!

In Sun Wenyuan's view, no matter who the cloaked kid inside was or how amazing his talent, his level was still low after all. With his Level 11 stealth-detection ability, seeing through the opponent's invisibility was a sure thing!

He wanted to see exactly what kind of sacred being this 'Old Six' was who had repeatedly made the great school beauty Shen suffer!

...

Inside the Dungeon, Lin Muyang naturally didn't know that a high-level hunter was waiting for him outside.

However, even if he did know, he wouldn't be too worried.

Being able to activate two God-Tier Auras simultaneously now had greatly improved his survival and adaptability. While maintaining the absolute concealment provided by the [Divine Concealment Aura], he had another Aura slot to flexibly deal with various emergencies.

At the moment, he was focused on carrying the girl through the Dungeon—or rather, it was more like the elf girl was carrying him.

After all, he spent almost the entire time in the Dungeon doing nothing, only needing to leisurely follow behind and watch Lilia clear out all the monsters like cutting melons and vegetables.

If this scene were seen by other Class Transferees who worked hard in teams and advanced cautiously, their eyes would probably pop out.

This Summoner... is living too easily and comfortably, isn't he? Whose family lets a healer charge in first to farm monsters? And besides, this healer's damage is just incomprehensible.

The monsters in this Level 6 bronze-tier instance dungeon, "Shadow Woodlands," were Treants and Shadow Wolves corrupted by dark energy. Their health generally exceeded 1,000 points, nearly three or four times that of the mobs in the previous Goblin Dungeon!

However, under the ten-fold damage buff of the [Indestructible] Aura, these monsters with doubled health were still as fragile as paper in front of Lilia!

At this moment, a casual [Light of Exorcism] from her could deal a terrifying four to five thousand points of damage!

Even the area-of-effect skill [Holy Light Meteor] could deal over 2,500 points of group damage to all enemies in the area!

With dual Auras active, Lilia was like a tireless killing machine, pushing straight through the Dungeon, invincible!

The Elf Princess seemed exceptionally excited now. Relying on her perfect state of invisibility, she traversed happily through the dimly lit woodland, sometimes jumping, sometimes sprinting. Her desire for exploration was unprecedentedly high, and she ran even further ahead than her master, Lin Muyang.

"Aren't other people's priests gentle and quiet, silently healing from the back of the team?" Lin Muyang thought with a bit of a headache as he looked at the flickering, energetic figure ahead. "Why does mine seem to have ADHD?"

Fortunately, as they approached the BOSS room, Lilia finally restrained herself a bit and showed proper caution.

Otherwise, with her head-on playstyle, she really might have suffered an unexpected setback.

After all, invisibility didn't mean invincibility. If a BOSS used an undiscriminating, large-scale AOE skill, it could very likely one-shot her.

"It'll be better once I reach Level 10 and unlock the third Aura slot," Lin Muyang calculated in his mind. "By then, for farming mobs, I can permanently have [Divine Concealment] + [Indestructible] + [Sacred Barrier]. Then I'll truly have no worries."

He followed slowly along the safe path Lilia had cleared, watching his experience bar soar like it was on a rocket. This feeling was truly wonderful.

Others were struggling in Dungeons with all their might, risking their lives.

But he was practically sightseeing in the Dungeon.

From beginning to end, he only needed to walk through it like taking a stroll.

At most, after the battle ended, he'd switch Auras and loot the corpses...

And the diligent Elf Maiden would always cheerfully pick up all the loot, organize it, and then trot over to present it to him.

This even made Lin Muyang feel a slight pang of guilt—was this girl a bit too hardworking?

When he finally strolled to the forest clearing where the final BOSS, the "Shadow Giant Wolf," was located, he found that the battle had long since ended.

That massive giant wolf BOSS, emitting a fierce Aura, had already become a cold corpse, lying quietly in the center of the clearing.

"This Dungeon took a total of ten minutes and five seconds, about a minute faster than the last one." Lin Muyang checked the time and nodded with satisfaction.

And his level had also successfully risen to Level 8!

"Only two levels left until Level 10!"

He estimated that just clearing the only remaining silver-level dungeon in this mystic zone would provide enough rich experience to push him past the Level 10 mark!

Thinking of this, his heart was full of anticipation.

He first skillfully activated his Aura to squeeze the last bit of value out of the Shadow Giant Wolf BOSS, harvesting a large pile of shiny loot.

Then, he led the still-unsatisfied Lilia and prepared to leave the Dungeon.

However, the moment they stepped out of the Dungeon's exit point and returned to the mystic zone...

Lin Muyang keenly noticed that not far ahead of them, that middle-aged man with the stubble was staring intently at the Dungeon entrance with eyes like torches!

"Who is this?"

Lin Muyang's heart tightened, and he immediately became alert.

He didn't know the person, but judging from the solid and powerful Aura faintly emanating from him, this was definitely a very high-level powerhouse, likely one of the top-ranked figures in Zhongnan City!

This caused him to react instantly!

"Activate Aura—[Holy Hourglass]!"

In addition to maintaining the [Divine Concealment Aura], he immediately switched his second Aura slot to a powerful life-saving Aura!

[Holy Hourglass (God-Tier Aura)]: Upon activation, you and all your summons enter a 'Time Stasis' state. Effect: Immune to all types of damage and control effects, but unable to move, attack, or use any skills during this period. Duration: Infinite (until manually deactivated).

While in their invisible state, Lin Muyang and Lilia were simultaneously shrouded by an invisible, time-warping golden force field, entering a state of absolute invincibility!

Since they were already under the effect of the [Divine Concealment Aura], this golden "Time Stasis" field was completely non-existent to outsiders.

Under the protection of the [Holy Hourglass], he and Lilia could be said to be absolutely safe; no attack could harm them in the slightest. The only drawback was that they couldn't move or act in this state.

He was so tense just to be safe!

After all, the opponent was a high-level powerhouse who could one-shot him with a casual skill. In front of such a strange powerhouse, one could never be too cautious.

However...

Lin Muyang soon discovered that the middle-aged man didn't seem to have any intention of attacking? He was just standing there with an expression of... extreme shock and disbelief?

In fact, at this moment, Sun Wenyuan's heart was already in turmoil, and he was in a state of complete bewilderment!

He had originally been waiting here with full confidence, having activated his Level 11 [Falcons Eye], just waiting for the moment the Dungeon was cleared and the entrance dissipated to see the true face of that mysterious 'Old Six' clearly!

However...

When the entrance to the Level 6 bronze-tier Dungeon flickered, faded, and finally completely disappeared before his eyes, just like the previous ones...

He widened his eyes, pushing the effect of [Falcons Eye] to its limit, staring fixedly at the area where the Dungeon entrance had dissipated!

The result...

He saw nothing!

Empty!

Not even a blurry shadow or a ripple of energy!

The fellow who had soloed the Dungeon seemed to have completely evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace behind!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Sun Wenyuan was dumbfounded on the spot, his mouth slightly open, his mind a complete blank.

He was a Level 95 [Divine Archer] with a Level 11 stealth-detection level!

To think that even he completely failed to see through the opponent's invisibility?!

Just what kind of god-tier invisibility ability was this?!

That person hiding in the shadows... their talent and ability were likely far more terrifying than his most exaggerated previous imaginings!
