Chapter 393: Chapter 209: An Unexpected Reunion (Part 2)

Therefore, Lin Mo chose Evolutionary Path 2 to enhance the Skill’s power.

The decision was made in an instant. Lin Mo’s movements hardly paused as he raised his Crystal Shield again, leaped high, and slammed down with a crash.

Another powerful shockwave sent the surrounding Goblins flying.

[Earth-Splitting Strike] Skill Level +16

This was an Excellent Level Skill Lin Mo had acquired early on, and it was steadily approaching its Full Level of 7.

Of course, leveling it from 6 to 7 required a whole 300 Skill Level points, so the evolution wouldn’t be completed that quickly.

Even so, Lin Mo continued to use the Skill.

After all, the current situation was perfect for it. Skill Level was accumulated little by little, and the points wouldn’t just disappear. There would be more chances later on; he was sure he could get this Skill to Full Level during this operation.

Earth-Splitting Strike!

He struck again. Lin Mo specifically targeted the densest clusters of Goblins, and each time, the results were exceptional.

This time, he also managed to take out a few Mutated Goblins, causing the Skill Level he gained to spike.

...

By now, the villagers on the mountain had taken notice. It wasn’t that they were neglecting their own battle; the commotion Lin Mo was creating was just too enormous to ignore.

The intermittent flashes of fire were especially conspicuous in the dark of night.

He was just one man, yet he fought like a mighty army, thrashing the Goblins so badly they were utterly routed.

"Where did an expert like this come from? He’s so damn strong!"

Atop the mountain, Evan’s mouth hung open as he watched the ridiculous scene unfold.

"With a badass like that helping us, we’re saved!"

Another young man dressed as an Assassin said excitedly from the side.

"Let’s just focus on our own tasks for now..."

As a young woman’s voice rang out, an Arrow flew past them from behind, precisely piercing a Goblin’s head.

"Don’t get distracted! Focus on holding off this assault!"

Bain, standing to the side with a torch in one hand, also gave a solemn reminder.

But his tone clearly carried a hint of relief.

After all, without this sudden rescue, if they had remained besieged, they would have been torn to shreds by the Goblin Army sooner or later...

Even though he had now become a Professional, he was still powerless against thousands of Goblins.

’The situation on the mountain seems to be getting a little dire.’

While slaughtering the Goblins before him, Lin Mo had also been keeping an eye on the situation at the summit.

To prevent any mishaps, he first used his Shadow Splitting Skill, directing his Clone to hurry toward the summit.

His main body, meanwhile, remained behind to continue slaughtering the Goblins.

A fair bit of time had passed since his arrival, and before long, Landon arrived with the remaining people.

By this point, Lin Mo had already killed over a third of the Goblins.

The ground was littered with Goblin corpses. Rather than attacking, the Goblins now seemed to be fleeing toward the mountain.

"What a beast!"

Even though he already had some idea of Lin Mo’s strength, Solan was still left speechless with shock.

"We’re joining in! Let’s kill all these damned Goblins!"

Huck, on the other hand, got fired up immediately, brandishing his weapon as he charged.

He was by no means weak; he was a Level 2 Warrior, very close to reaching the level of a Level 3 Warrior. He might not be of much use in a high-level fight, but against these Ordinary Goblins, he was a monster.

The others quickly joined the fray, and for a moment, the Goblins began to die even faster.

Lin Mo figured the time was about right. His Clone had reached the mountaintop, and the Goblins were about to storm the summit.

So, in the next instant, with a mere thought, his Clone and his main body swapped positions.

The Shadow Splitting Skill had about 10 seconds of duration remaining. The Clone didn’t waste any time; it raised its Sword and killed many of the surrounding Goblins before charging headfirst into a dense cluster of them in its final moments.

BOOM—!

A thunderous explosion erupted, sending a huge swath of the surrounding Goblins flying into the air.

...

"It’s no use! We can’t hold them back!"

"Everyone, just hold on a little longer! The experts from downhill will be up here any minute. We just need to hold out for a bit more..."

"But it’s easier said than done!"

A Warrior Adventurer looked at the broken Iron Sword in his hands. "My weapon is ruined."

"My Sword’s blade is chipped."

And yet, the Goblins before them seemed to have grown even more frenzied.

Evan gripped the Sword in his hand, gasping for breath.

Although he had previously awakened to a Skill of his own, he had only just begun on the path to becoming a Professional. He was still a long way from being a true one, and the fierce battle had nearly drained him of all his stamina.

’But... I can’t give up...’

He clenched his jaw. ’Victory is right in front of us.’

’If I can just hold on a little longer...’

He wasn’t sure if it was a trick of the mind, but the image of a certain person suddenly surfaced in his thoughts.

Even though it had been some time since they had parted ways, the words that man had spoken when they adventured together, and the stories of his deeds, were still deeply engraved in Evan’s mind.

He, too, wanted to become someone who shone so brightly.

Even if it was the difference between a firefly and the sun, at least it was better than being a rat in a gutter, eking out a wretched existence in the darkness.
