After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 586 - : 434, Lin Da vs Anna, Second-tier Demon Heart Slash!_2
Chapter 586: 434, Lin Da vs Anna, Second-tier Demon Heart Slash!_2
His Verdant Shield only showed tiny cracks, and it was not seriously damaged.
Anna must first accumulate blood power and enter a state of pain.
In her normal state, she’s at most comparable to an ordinary swordsman.
Lin Da took a deep breath, and with a single lunge, he crossed three meters.
His full set of epic equipment made him extremely agile, allowing him to compete with a swordsman.
...
The long sword brought a whistling wind as it swept towards Anna’s head!
Bang!
Anna reacted extremely quickly, her short axe, as if it had eyes, chopped right on Lin Da’s sword tip, easily neutralizing the attack.
“The captain’s job is so strange,”
Anna said with a tilt of her head, puzzled, “He used to be a pure damage-dealing swordsman, but now he’s turned into a hard and rigid support that knows Healing Art, and his swordsmanship has declined a lot, also his personality is different from before.”
The Lin Da that Anna knows now, though still somewhat abnormal, is more like a normal human being.
He can communicate, even cook for the team, and encourage team members… so normal that Anna is somewhat uncomfortable with it.
If the environment during the Primitive Adventure Team period was a stuffy rental without a Cooling Magic Array, then the current Phoenix Tail Flower is the epic suite of a luxury hotel. Anna, who likes to gnaw on hard bones, felt after only two days that her teeth had softened and couldn’t go back.
This is simply a very normal adventure team, filled with friendship and bonds!
Where has all the team members’ scheming and intrigue gone? It should be an insane adventure team where, if the leader weren’t around, the members would immediately start fighting each other!
But Anna found that neither Lulu nor Tasya had any thoughts of monopolizing the captain.
It seemed they had reached a consensus, wanting to stick together with the captain.
“To be called ‘Four-star’ by the captain, and still lack ambition!”
Anna thought with disdain in her heart.
Although she didn’t know what Four-star or Five-star meant, it seemed to be a way for the captain to evaluate the potential of team members.
According to Lin Da, since he “lost” the memory of the Primitive Adventure Team three years ago, he couldn’t remember some things very clearly.
During this blank period, he encountered the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Various experiences have molded him into who he is today.
After hearing all this, Anna remarked that Lin Da was really impressive.
He played it as if it were real.
This must be a disguise Lin Da has adopted for some purpose.
By faking death through Dark Shadow, he would ferret out the hidden enemies, reveal the true faces of the Four Great Dukes, and move from the open to the underbrush…
Anna couldn’t help but clap her hands in amazement.
She really wanted to stand up and loudly praise Lin Da,
but doing so would expose Lin Da’s plan.
All the words of praise she had were suppressed deep inside her.
Occasionally, they would spill onto her face, transforming into a sweet smile that made Lin Da quite puzzled.
Is this child, perhaps, a bit silly…
Observing Anna, who was making faces at him, Lin Da began to wonder if she might be a fool.
At that moment, the two of them had been fighting back and forth.
Both were drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
In the end, neither was hurt.
Lin Da couldn’t penetrate Anna’s round shield, and Anna couldn’t injure Lin Da.
“Next, you’d better be careful,”
Lin Da took a deep breath and warned in a serious voice.
He needed to know Anna’s limit as they were about to tackle the 19th floor soon.
“Come on, I’ve been waiting for a long time,”
Anna’s eyes sparkled with eagerness.
Not far away, Tasya, Lulu, and the others who were practicing stopped.
They wiped the sweat from their bodies with towels and looked curiously at Anna.
Anna’s joining had made them further recognize the gap between adventurers.
Suppressed to the same level, none could break through that round shield when sparred with Anna.
Though, they hadn’t lost either.
But if they were to fight without limits, until a clear winner emerged…
The loss was inevitable.
The scene from the noon strategy session was vivid in their minds.
Anna, transformed into an Ancient Giant Bat, unleashed a “Blood Resolve” strike, its destructive power surpassing Monica’s “Falling Rock Technique.”
In the Primitive Adventure Team, there were all monsters like Anna.
It was natural for Lin Da to kick them out…
Lulu and the others felt a sense of shame in their hearts.
And Lin Da noticed the psychological changes of his team members.
He was prepared to take this opportunity to give Anna a stern warning.
Anna had an Epic Four-Star [Stone Helmet Substitute] scroll that could automatically block a fatal attack for its user once.
At the very least, the consequence would be a waste of Anna’s [Stone Helmet Substitute].
The cost was high, but disciplining new members, making them behave and follow orders, was very important.
Looking at Anna, who appeared relaxed, Lin Da rapidly thought to himself: After breaking through the 18th level, with the help of the Goddess’ Blessing and the Mystical Points I had accumulated, I successfully reached level 39. In contrast, Anna’s currently only at 37, two levels behind me.
In my advantageous position, I can simply use the First Gear of Magic Heart Slash.
Rage, Despair, Death, the three gears correspond to a consumption of 30/50/90% of maximum Hit Points respectively.
“Captain, aren’t you ready yet? I’m so tired, I think I need a rest,” Anna said, massaging her sore arms and complaining.
Little did she know, Lin Da hated it the most when team members complained they were tired during training.

Paper People could act cute,
But real people couldn’t!
He had to discipline her harshly.
Lin Da activated his Magic Circuit, purple and green lights lit up simultaneously, two kinds of Magic Power, merging together perfectly.
The expressions of everyone in the training ground became solemn.
Lin Da’s aura underwent a significant change.
It was as if he transformed from a warm and golden sun into a cold and curving crescent moon in the night.
Black Flames ignited silently in his pupils, like a void that devoured everything.
Anna only glanced at it and was deeply drawn in; when she came back to herself, she realized her palms were all sweaty.
“This power, once it grows, might even surpass that of the former captain,” Anna thought, surprised and delighted.
While she pondered, Lin Da made his move.
The longsword in his hand blazed with soaring Black Flames at once.
It was fortunate the training ground had a high ceiling, or else it would have been directly destroyed.
Black Crescent Sword Light charged towards Anna.
Magic Heart Slash!
Anna’s body trembled, but her face revealed an excited flush: “That’s right, only the captain could hurt me like this…”
Grasping the shield in both hands, Anna gazed at the formidable black sword light, the corner of her mouth turned up.
Regrettably, she had mastered a powerful Rare Technique.
If this was all Lin Da had, it might still not be enough.
In the past, Lin Da was very strong, but now, she was above him!
She planned to face everyone from the Phoenix Tail Flower and neutralize Lin Da’s strongest blow!
Anna could let Lin Da be with Lulu and the others when she was not interested.
But that didn’t mean her status was the lowest, only fit to kneel outside the door, eavesdropping.
When she didn’t want Lin Da, they could enjoy him as they pleased.
But when she wanted Lin Da, everyone had to step aside.
The foundation of that confidence was her formidable power!
Anna licked her lips, positioned the shield in front of her, and Blood System Fighting Spirit surged into it.
The patterns on the shield seemed to come to life, extending outwards from the shield, forming numerous claw-like tendrils.
They combined rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a massive blood-red net.
Rare Technique: Blood Devouring!
Using the blood within one’s body as a price, it generates the Blood Devouring net, nullifying the opponent’s attack.
“Judging from the videos I’ve seen before, Lin Da’s consumption is significant after using this technique, which will lead to a period of weakness.
I’ll nullify his attack with [Blood Devouring] and then praise the captain a few times for his decent attack power, giving him a way to save face.”
Staring at the pitch-black sword light that could tear apart the earth, Anna was actually considering how to spare Lin Da’s pride.
“Can’t help it, after all, our weak captain is also adorable.” Anna smiled calmly, commanding the Blood Devouring net to intercept the Magic Heart Slash.
But the next moment,
Anna tilted her head in confusion.
“Uh-oh?”
The [Blood Devouring] that should have nullified the opponent’s attack was sliced in half the moment it touched the dark sword light.
It wasn’t so much crushing as it was like an adult kicking away a child holding a twig.
What Lin Da used was not the First Gear of Magic Heart Slash.
It was the Second Gear, consuming 50% of maximum Hit Points, Despair*Magic Heart Slash!
After being tackled by Blood Devouring, the sword light was reduced in size by half.
This showed Anna’s Rare Technique was of high Strength.
If Lin Da had used the First Gear, it would indeed have been intercepted by Anna.
But the Second Gear Despair*Magic Heart Slash easily tore through the Blood Devouring net.
The latter turned into red specks of light, dissipating in the air.
Then, relentlessly,
It advanced towards the girl in the black dress, whose smile had frozen on her face.
