From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 55 Level Up Again, Gained Source Material

"Hello, my name is Mia, thank you for saving us." The Bansel Clan girl quickly hid the large sledgehammer behind her back and waved hello to Lu Heng.

"Hello, my name is Lu Heng."

Lu Heng waved back and then cast a concerned look toward Su Muyu.

In front of an alien race girl, it was inconvenient for the two of them to whisper.

Su Muyu smiled sweetly, her clear eyes returning a reassuring gaze, as if to say, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Mia, noticing the exchange of glances between the two, showed an expression of understanding and spread her hands, "Okay, so you know each other. But still, thank you."

Lu Heng went straight to the point, "We are here to fight against demons, could you take me to see your leader?"

"What's so great about that old man?" Mia grimaced, apparently miffed.

Speaking in such an impolite manner, she clearly had an unusual relationship with the tribal leader; they must be father and daughter.

"There are very important matters to discuss with your leader," Lu Heng continued to persuade her to take them back to meet the tribal chief.

"But I can't go back right now," Mia said with a troubled expression.

"Why?"

"I have very important matters to attend to on this trip," Mia rubbed her chin, pondering.

"What matters? Perhaps we can help," Lu Heng guessed it probably had to do with the Evil God's Resurrection Ceremony.

"I've received intelligence that a very important Evil God Sacrifice is being transported to Barton Temple. I came out to intercept this sacrifice," Mia said with utmost seriousness.

Lu Heng saw her alone, obviously having run away from the tribal chief, no wonder she was unwilling to go back.

"Why don't you work with your tribal leader?"

"That old man won't let me participate in the battle; he wants to lock me up. Brave warriors shouldn't be caged," Mia said firmly, raising her fist.

"In that case, we can help you."

"The sacrifice I'm going to intercept is a terrible object filled with evil; it's extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to help?"

"Of course, we'll act together," Lu Heng and Su Muyu answered in unison.

The main quest was to intercept the Source Essence Sacrifice, and this was also a major way to obtain Source Essence.

This girl from the Bansel Clan could very well be the daughter of their tribal chief; establishing a friendship with her would make an alliance with the Bansel Tribe much simpler.

Moreover, according to Mia's description, the sacrifice was likely that terrible object he remembered.

...

After Lin Zeyu and his party of four caught up, with brief introductions, seven people formed a temporary team, marching toward the mountain path on the west side of Ankalie Mountain.

To the north of Ankalie Mountain stood a temple filled with a mysterious aura, looming within the clouds, now hidden, now visible.

That was the Burial Ground of Evil God Barton, the worship place of the Evil God's Servants.

At this moment, on the mountain path to the west side of Ankalie Mountain, a team of Demon Servants hurried toward Barton Temple.

However, the team of demons wasn't escorting a prison cart, traveling light, not looking like they were transporting a sacrifice.

After seeing Barton Temple, the devout Winged Demon Wizard would kneel after every distance traveled, praying earnestly.

Only when he heard the reply from his deity would he get up and continue leading the team.

...

With a reconnaissance eagle observing from the sky, Su Muyu spotted the demon team from afar.

Lu Heng marked a narrow part of the mountain pass on the map for an ambush.

The group arrived at the mountain pass beforehand, lying in wait for the arrival of the demon team.

As they neared the entrance to the pass, the Abyss Two-headed Giant Lizard within the demon team began to grow restless.

"This Two-headed Giant Lizard may have sensed danger; we need to make a move now. I'll take care of the Winged Demon Wizard, and the rest of you handle the Demon Servants," Lu Heng glanced over at Lin Zeyu.

"Okay," Lin Zeyu nodded in agreement.

"No problem," the Bansel Clan girl clenched her large hammers handle, eager to try.

Lu Heng turned to her, suggesting, "How about you stay here to protect our Perceiver?"

Mia immediately shook her head in refusal, "Warriors of the Bansel Clan should charge to the forefront!"

At that moment,

the Winged Demon Wizard, failing to calm the Two-headed Giant Lizard, became alerted and flew up, approaching the pass to scout.

Seeing this, Lin Zeyu frowned, "It's flown up; you can't hit it, can you? Shall I take over?"

"Do you have the confidence to take down this Winged Demon Wizard?" Lu Heng looked sideways at him.

Lin Zeyu responded helplessly, "It might...not work out, but I can hold it off."

Lu Heng assessed the Winged Demon Wizard's flight altitude and said, "Never mind, I'll do it."

Although the Winged Demon Wizard could fly, its flying ability wasn't very strong.

At that moment, the Winged Demon Wizard was flying at a height of about five meters.

This altitude was actually not low, roughly equivalent to a two-story building.

Under normal circumstances, only ranged attacks could threaten it.

However, Lu Heng's combat power was hard to classify as normal.

When the Winged Demon Wizard flew to the bottleneck area, Lu Heng issued the attack order, "Strike!"

Then he activated Gale Step, put force into both feet, propelled himself forward, and rushed out.

Supported by 27 points in Agility, his speed instantly surged to 36 meters per second.

Immediately after, Lu Heng activated the second effect of Gale Step, a straight-line thrust, doubling the acceleration, and pounced on the Winged Demon Wizard like an arrow released from the bow.

Lin Zeyu and the others also charged out, launching an attack on the demon team.

Mia swung her giant hammer, rushed to the face of the stone giant, leapt high into the air, and with explosive Strength, smashed her hammer on the giant's knee.

Due to the difference in height, the spot she hit... was exactly a joint's weak point.

The stone giant roared, stumbled on its right leg, and was smashed to the ground with a thunderous fall.

Lin Zeyu blasted a demon's head with his gun, then turned to look in Lu Heng's direction, wondering whether he should help.

His weapon was a handgun, and although he was uncertain about taking down the Winged Demon Wizard, at least it offered ranged attacks.

However, the situation wasn't quite as he expected.

After accelerating with the second phase of Gale Step, Lu Heng's linear speed soared to 54 meters per second, and he reached below the Winged Demon Wizard in the blink of an eye.

Only, the Winged Demon Wizard was flying at a height of 5 meters, unreachable under normal circumstances.

Moreover, the Winged Demon Wizard was still gaining altitude while simultaneously raising a hand to cast a spell, firing a blast of Black Witchcraft Energy Wave at Lu Heng.

During his sprint, Lu Heng swerved to dodge the energy wave's attack, then unleashed his Shadow Clone.

The Shadow Clone braced itself, stacking its palms and placing them at its abdomen.

Lu Heng stepped on the palms of the Shadow Clone and pushed off hard, while the Shadow Clone also exerted force upward.

With the combined strength, Lu Heng shot up into the sky like a rocket and pulled out the Aurora Blade from thin air, executing the "Rising Dragon Style" from the Step Sword Seven Styles.

Clang!

The sword light shone like a silver dragon soaring, severing the second Black Witchcraft Energy Wave.

Boom!

The relentless sword light engulfed the Winged Demon Wizard, slicing it in two.

With a single stroke, he took down the Winged Demon Wizard, Lu Heng caught the falling Crystal Core in his hand, then did two somersault flips and landed on bended knee, slamming a fist into the ground to dissipate the force of his fall.

The entire set of movements was crisp and clean, as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water.

[Killed the Winged Demon Wizard, absorbed 120 points of Demon Energy.]

Witnessing Lu Heng's maneuvers, Lin Zeyu's eyes bulged in amazement, and had he not been on the battlefield, he would have wanted to applaud in admiration.

With the Winged Demon Wizard gone, the remaining Demon Servants crumbled like scattered sand.

Only the stone giant proved to be troublesome; the six-meter-tall behemoth swung its arms with the force of a thousand pounds, pulverizing the ground and rocks beneath.

Mia, dragging her giant hammer, scampered around, dodging the stone giant's attacks.

She wasn't tall, but her short legs were surprisingly swift.

After Lu Heng had dealt with the Winged Demon Wizard, he joined the battlefield like a gust of wind and took Mia's place in front of the stone giant, delivering a heavy Chop that shattered a large piece of rock.

However, the stone giant's rocky Armor was too thick.

Even though the Aurora Blade was incredibly sharp, it took several Cuts before he finally subdued it.

The stone giant crashed to the ground, shattered into rubble under the scorching Power of thunder and lightning, then yielded a portion of Source Material.

[Absorbed free-state Source Material, Source Quality Fusion increased.]

[Source Quality Fusion: 20%.]

It turned out the stone giant was a Source Essence Sacrifice, but as it was also a servant of the Evil God Barton, it counted as a voluntary sacrifice, requiring no transportation in a prison cart.

[Killed the stone giant, absorbed 120 points of Demon Energy.]

[Demon Energy strengthened Energy Level, Source Energy Level increased to Level 12, All Attributes +2, Agility Attribute additionally +0.6]

After consecutive battles, having slain Level 12 Winged Demon Wizards, he leveled up again, enhancing all of his Attributes and subsequently increasing his Combat Power by a significant margin.
