66: Mentor-level combat power? World-class BOSS? !

“The Blue Moon Legion is famous for its Magic Swordsmen. Nolan, their Commander, is of Legendary rank. He’s quite skilled with both Crescent Moon Swordsmanship and Blue Moon Magic. I just don’t know if he’s fallen and learned some forbidden arts or something…” Isolde wasn’t worried at all, merely introducing the enemy to Lin Ye from the side.

As she spoke, the shining Crescent Moon actually struck a mirror-like surface.

Crack!

As the mirror shattered instantly, the Crescent Moon slash was also deflected.

“Warning, component damage, current integrity 93.2%!”

Ha~

You can even sound an alarm?

Lin Ye chuckled and patted Lulu.

“Alright, that’s enough. You don’t need to participate in the rest of the battle. Just focus on dodging and kiting.”

“Received!”

As a Level 90 spatial mount, Lulu wasn’t primarily designed for combat.

It could handle some lower-level players without an issue.

But now, facing a Magic Swordsman over Level 150, and while carrying someone, many of its skills couldn’t be deployed, making it very difficult.

At the same time.

Lin Ye once again drew his Wangyu Bow and summoned his clones.

“Come on, let me see what makes a Legendary class legendary!”

Boom!

The four elemental arrows merged into a torrent, instantly engulfing Nolan.

Clang, clang, clang~

A series of crisp metallic clashes.

In an instant.

Hundreds of arrows, yet not a single one hit.

Flames, wind blades, ice, and lightning all exploded around Nolan.

Looking closely.

At the center of the explosion.

Streaks of Crescent Moon light continuously flickered.

All the arrows, as soon as they touched that Crescent Moon radiance, were immediately parried and bounced away. Even when they exploded, any residual shockwaves couldn’t penetrate the continuously flickering Crescent Moon light.

Sword parrying.

Someone who could cultivate it to this level should be considered a master, right?

Lin Ye wasn’t entirely sure.

It might also be because his arrows only had pure attributes and lacked much technique.

“Hehehe~”

Karl, from a distance, let out mocking laughter.

“This guy who suddenly popped up almost bluffed us all.”

“Time Domain.”

“How many have gone unheard of on the Eternal Continent… Indeed, very bluffing!”

“But this kind of thing, unless it exists on a few Mythical-grade pieces of equipment, it’s impossible for anyone to directly master it.”

Speaking of which.

Karl wiped his face, revealing his true form.

His facial skin had been completely burned away, leaving only charred flesh from the Hell Black Flame. In his eye sockets… they were empty, with only the pitch-black Hell Black Flame burning fiercely.

“Your attributes are excellent, your attack speed is exaggerated, and your clone skill is very rare, but… you fundamentally lack the most crucial combat techniques!”

“Hehehe~”

“If you had run away from the beginning today, perhaps… you might have had a chance?”

Lin Ye couldn’t be bothered to respond. He kicked Lulu, and it immediately reacted, commencing rapid movement in the air.

At the same time.

Lin Ye commanded his clones to spread out.

Three torrents of arrows, firing while moving.

At the same time.

From different angles.

“You can parry, huh?”

“Sword Master, huh?”

“Come on, try parrying this?”

Nolan’s swordsmanship was indeed strong, but facing such terrifying attack speed and frequency, it was impossible for him to defend from multiple sides simultaneously.

“Karl, what are you still standing there for?!”

“If we don’t kill the Princess today, we’ll all be exposed when we go back, and none of you will be able to escape!!!”

Karl had only fallen.

He wasn’t stupid.

“No rush, he hasn’t used his time skill yet.”

“Theoretically, even Mythical equipment with time-like abilities must have usage limits.”

Hiss?

Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue.

Today, he had truly encountered masters.

Guys like Qi Tian were all show, probably just grinding their way to Level 100, with no understanding of the game and terrible combat skills.

But now.

Whether it was the Legendary Commander of the Blue Moon Legion or the fallen Karl, both displayed combat abilities far exceeding those of ordinary players.

Speaking of which.

If these two guys were NPCs…

Nolan, as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, was 100% a Hidden Class mentor-level character.

What was mentor-level combat power?

Ordinary basic attacks were like child’s play to them.

They would parry casually.

Let you attack first, attack however you want, but if you land a single hit, it counts as their loss.

This was a mentor!

As for Karl?

This guy, leading a group of Shadow Group assassins, running rampant all over the world—wasn’t that clearly a World Boss?!

Can’t beat them.

If it were one-on-one.

Lin Ye would still have some confidence, relying on his Time Reversal Gauntlets to fight.

But.

Today, he was facing two.

Defeating Nolan alone was useless; once the Time Reversal Gauntlets’ durability ran out, it would be a desperate situation!

As for upgrading the gauntlets.

That was truly his last, last trump card; he absolutely couldn’t use it carelessly until the most critical moment.

Today’s mission felt off.

Very off!

It directly plunged him into the background story of eternal, facing areas that players might not have even touched yet.

Hell Black Flame.

Bai Shuya, as a club owner, hadn’t even heard of it.

It could only prove that.

Karl?

At this current stage.

He probably only existed in the background lore of eternal. If you were to check the Imperial wanted list, you might find such a person.

But his strength was definitely unknown.

Even the Hell Black Flame might only exist in the background story, not yet accessible to the player base.

“No wonder the quest didn’t give a hint…”

Lin Ye had already hugged the Princess, but the rescue quest still hadn’t shown completion.

Which meant.

This current state didn’t count as completion at all!

He absolutely had to protect the Princess back to the palace to completely escape the pursuit of the True Shadow.

“Let’s try somewhere else.”

Lin Ye, in an aerial battlefield, despite Lulu’s advantage, it was too open, making it impossible to create a one-on-one situation.

He reached out and took out the Ancient Arrowhead.

Now…

He could only hope this ruin was a bit more complex, so he could find a way to separate these two guys.

Isolde looked at the arrowhead, then at Lin Ye.

“Knight Brother, are you going to the ruins now?”

“Mm…”

“That place does feel a bit better.”

Lin Ye was stunned.

“You know where the ruins are?”

Isolde, however, directly leaned her fair, delicate face closer, humming as if asking for a reward: “This Princess wants a kiss~”

Pfft!

Lin Ye almost couldn’t hold back, immediately saying with a wry smile:

“You’re not scared at all, are you?”

“Why should I be scared?” Isolde hugged Lin Ye from behind: “With Knight Brother by my side, this Princess isn’t scared of anything. Even if I were to die right now, there’s no need to be afraid, because we’ll still meet in the next reincarnation.”

Speechless.

Lin Ye didn’t know if she truly understood fate, or if it was purely because their relationship had reached that point?

However.

If it could be simpler, then simpler it was.

Lin Ye turned his head and kissed the Princess’s cheek: “Alright, tell me.”

“Mm-hmm~”

Isolde then showed a satisfied smile and happily said: “The Ancient Archer’s ruins are in the abyss of the canyon, but you can’t go down directly. There’s a spatial rift there.”

“As a legacy trial left by the Ancient Archer, the inheritor needs to use the sealed arrowhead as a key to shoot the spatial rift, and only then can the entrance be opened.”

“Hmm…”

Isolde hesitated slightly, her brows furrowing as she fell into thought, muttering to herself:

“The problem is, Knight Brother doesn’t possess spatial abilities…”
