Chapter 394: Chapter 209: Unexpected Reunion (3)

His body, already pushed to its limit, suddenly found a new surge of strength. With a roar in his heart, he raised his sword once more and slew the two Goblins that had reached him.

His Physical Strength completely spent, he collapsed, only for a slender arm to suddenly catch him from behind.

"Don’t be so reckless, you idiot."

Millian said with a frown.

"But... the Goblins..."

Evan was about to speak but noticed the Goblins had changed direction. They were no longer advancing upward, but were clearly converging on a specific point.

He stared intently. Ahead, amidst the chaotic battlefield and under the faint glow of firelight, stood an unmoving figure in a white and blue Magic Robe.

It seemed the Goblins posed no threat to him whatsoever.

And indeed, they didn’t. He simply lifted a hand, and a biting chill filled the air.

The next moment, a torrent of hailstones rained down, instantly riddling the Goblins swarming toward him.

But strangely, even as the Goblins within the spell’s radius were being torn to shreds, those outside were still desperately pushing their way in...

Lin Mo watched the Goblins continuously stream into the area of his [Blizzard] and nodded in satisfaction.

’As expected, this method works.’

Use the [Taunt] skill to pull aggro, then cast a wide-ranging Magic spell. The Goblins affected by [Taunt] will walk right into the spell’s area of effect on their own.

This was, in fact, a common tactic used by seasoned Adventurer Squads.

But this tactic required an extremely high level of coordination between the Mage and the Knight Professional.

If the Knight was too far from the spell’s area of effect, the tactic wouldn’t work, but if they were too close, they could get caught in the friendly fire. Because of this, the coordination wasn’t easy.

For a temporarily formed party, rather than one that had been together for years, using such a tactic was nearly impossible.

But Lin Mo didn’t need a partner; he could execute this Combined Technique all by himself.

Plus, thanks to the unique way the [Taunt] skill gained Skill Level, he could level up two skills at once.

The Blizzard finally subsided, leaving the battlefield a complete mess. Goblin corpses were strewn everywhere, and the faces of the survivors were masks of terror.

They wanted to turn and run, but a group of "Yamas" was now closing in from behind.

Landon’s signature [Wind Roll Skill] sent a large swath of Goblins flying, while several Physical Professions charged in and began to cut them down.

For a moment, the Goblins were trapped, unable to advance or retreat.

Lin Mo seized the opportunity to locate his most important target.

The commander of this Goblin horde: a Quasi-Bronze Level Goblin.

This was just like the situation back in Falling Leaves Village.

There were no particularly strong individuals among the Goblins attacking the small village. There weren’t even many Mutated Goblins, and the commander was just a Quasi-Bronze Level Goblin that hadn’t even reached Level 3.

’Still, it’s Skill Level, and every little bit helps. Besides, this is hardly ’a little bit.’ It’s more like a pigeon leg than a mosquito leg.’

Lin Mo immediately moved, rushing toward his target.

The Quasi-Bronze Level Goblin seemed to realize what was happening, but before it could even move to defend itself, Lin Mo’s figure vanished.

The next moment, he appeared at its side. A crimson arc of Sword Qi shot out, instantly severing its head.

’It has to be said, the Flash skill is just too damn useful.’

[Flash] Skill Level +15

[Blood Qi Blade] Skill Level +15

"Skill [Flash] Level 3 (40/40) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Flash] Level 4 (5/100)"

"Gained Attribute: Magic Power +3!"

’It leveled up just like that?’

A delighted expression immediately appeared on Lin Mo’s face.

As an Excellence Level Skill, upon reaching Level 4, [Flash] would allow him to choose another Evolutionary Path.

Please select an Evolutionary Direction—

Evolutionary Path 1: Distance II: Increases Flash distance. Maximum distance becomes 15 meters.

Evolutionary Path 2: Carrying I: Flash can carry 1 additional target.

Of the two Evolutionary Paths for the Flash skill, the first would increase his current 10-meter Flash range to 15 meters. The other was a functional expansion, allowing Lin Mo to carry an additional target with him when he used Flash.

’This is a no-brainer. I already decided back when I chose the first Evolutionary Path that I would pick up Evolutionary Path 2 the second time around.’

’Although another five meters of range is tempting, adding a new "mechanic" is definitely the better deal.’

After the Flash skill upgrade provided Lin Mo with another 3 points to his Basic Magic Attribute, his total rose from 88 to 91. This meant that his already far-advanced Mage Profession was about to level up again!

"Promotion conditions met. Professional Mage (Level 8) promoted—Current Profession: Professional Mage (Level 9)"

"Gained Professional Attribute Amplification: Constitution +2, Agility +2, Spirit +2, Magic Power +4!"

’A total of 10 attribute points from the amplification, two more than last time. It perfectly matches the pattern I figured out.’

With their leader dealt with, the remaining Goblins were no threat at all.

What followed was a complete slaughter, carried out by Lin Mo and the other Adventurers.

Lin Mo also took the opportunity to grind the Skill Level of his newly acquired skills. He even pulled the Hurricane Bow from his Ring of Space to get in some live-fire practice.
