Chapter 148: Chapter 124: Countdown to the Legend

Count Giant Sword was exchanging curses with the Great Swamp, while the other teams were battling the giant snakes.

Before long, two of those giant snakes fled, and the remaining five were all slain.

The Star Glory-level giant snake being pummeled by Ove used its life-saving skill "Snake Shedding" to escape his violent blows.

At this moment, however, an endless stream of snakes surged out of the Great Swamp, their numbers exceeding even the previous beast tide, with some Magical Beasts mixed in.

...

Meanwhile, at the Great Wall Fortress.

Lin Ke had just dropped down, and Rica immediately stuffed a bottle of Magic Potion into his mouth. Once he drank it, Lin Ke recovered all his strength and felt even more invigorated.

A man adorned in gold and silver hurried over, his hands glowing with White Light, "Sir Lin Ke, do you need me to..."

This was an eighth-level profession, a [Witch Doctor].

In the past, he was quite arrogant, and when Lin Ke fell ill as a child, Fulon had to plead with him for treatment.

Now, hearing that Lin Ke had achieved great success, even more than Garoce and had other [Witch Doctors]...

How could he ignore this?!

Thus, this [Witch Doctor] came running, eagerly volunteering to join Azanen.

Recalling the benevolent acts in the past, Lin Ke did not have any special arrangements or revenge for him, and later, he stayed with Knicks.

However, Lin Ke didn’t have time to say much to them at the moment, immediately casting an Eagle Eye Magic towards the battlefield.

After slaying the giant snakes, all the teams were on high alert.

Endless hordes of serpents poured out, menacingly.

Clearly, the Legendary Giant Snake within had gotten angry.

However...

Its fury was met with even greater anger from others.

"Thunder... Storm!"

Ove, his hair and beard standing on end with rage, wielded the Thunder Staff. In an instant, he absorbed all the lightning elements from the battlefield, concentrating them onto the staff.

Ove’s ninth skill slot, combined with the combination skill "Thunder Storm" formed by fusing three skill slots at his nineteenth level!

The thunderball gathered at the tip of Ove’s staff, growing larger and larger, as massive plasma bolts shot towards the ground, leaving charred marks.

Lin Ke had previously witnessed this skill in Parrot City, though that time, Ove had canceled the thunderball before it became a storm.

Now, Ove was enraged, roaring, "Damn snake! Almost killed my disciple!"

"Retreat!"

Having heard from Ove about this area attack skill, Lin Ke immediately used amplification magic to shout to everyone.

Yet, Count Giant Sword and others fled faster than Lin Ke anticipated.

Who were Count Giant Sword and his team?

They were locals of Naseng!

They were well-versed in the concepts of collateral damage when high-level professionals unleashed their powers openly.

So they retreated even before Lin Ke had to remind them.

Lin Ke then breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Legendary Giant Snake wasn’t that foolish; realizing the unfavorable situation, it had already begun recalling its snake legion.

However, the snake legion couldn’t be summoned or dismissed at will; some high-level snakes still charged forward, but they posed no threat.

As for Star Glory-level...

It seemed that the one just pummeled by Ove was the only Star Glory-level giant snake; the snake legion couldn’t find a second one.

The Legendary couldn’t come through, and lacking another Star Glory-level, the remaining ones were merely offerings for Ove.

At this time, Ove’s plasma ball slowly spread in the high sky, forming a thick cloud.

As everyone, humans and snakes alike, watched, hundreds of thousands of purple lightning bolts poured down instantly, like a grand waterfall.

A network of electricity interlocked, creating an impenetrable electric field, where the snakes within were fried almost instantly, with only a few holding on desperately.

From Lin Ke’s perspective, it seemed like dozens of purple skyscrapers stood there, gleaming, with Ove’s figure tiny among them.

"Sir Ove’s combination skill is quite remarkable, even among Star Glory-levels."

Princess Rica remarked beside Lin Ke.

Lin Ke nodded.

Although Ove wasn’t a combat hero, Lin Ke realized that once Ove was enraged, his power was immense.

Usually shy in social settings, when angered, he turned ferocious.

Of course, few things could provoke Ove’s wrath, but perhaps Lin Ke was one.

Lin Ke had nearly been killed by the Legendary Giant Boa moments ago, which was why Ove was now in a rage.

However, after Ove unleashed this powerful move, he flew towards the fortress.

He was coming to check on Lin Ke!

As for the rest, he left it to Count Giant Sword and his team to handle the remaining Magical Beasts with ease.

"Lin Ke, how are you?"

Ove now stored the Thunder Staff back into his Space Ring, and then took out three or four bottles of magic power-filled potions, attempting to make Lin Ke drink them.

"Teacher! Teacher! I’ve already taken one!" Lin Ke quickly refused, as drinking more might cause him to burst from excess magic power.

Ove glanced at Rica, then understood.

"Teacher, are you alright? You should drink more yourself." Lin Ke felt warmed by Ove’s concern.

"It’s alright, Little Lin Ke, have a little more. If it weren’t for Princess Rica driving away that Legendary Giant Snake earlier... the consequences would be unimaginable." freeNovelFire

"I’m really fine now, but you just expended too much."

"Just a bit more, Little Lin Ke."

"Teacher, you drink."

Princess Rica watched the mentor and disciple carefully attending to one another, rolling her eyes and remarked, "Lin Ke, over there, it’s almost wrapped up. I reckon the Great Swamp won’t be attacking for a while."

Hearing this, Lin Ke finally turned his attention away from Ove and towards the battlefield.

Indeed, there were no new Magical Beasts appearing, and the direction of the Great Swamp was silent.

However, two Magical Beasts hovered high above the treetop, gazing over at the fortress.

Just now, it was the giant snake, accompanied by a male lion.

"Those are Legendary, two King of Magical Beasts." Ove’s expression was solemn.

Lin Ke nodded slightly, then used the amplification magic to call the troops back.

The two King of Magical Beasts merely lingered for a moment, then flew off into the depths of the Great Swamp’s forest.

"Her Highness Rica, how long can the Insomnia Emperor’s hold?" Seeing the King of Magical Beasts fly away, Lin Ke immediately turned back to ask Rica.

Princess Rica, with a solemn expression, took out a parchment she had just stored away, scrutinizing it without avoiding Lin Ke or the others.

Thus, Lin Ke also looked over.

The parchment read: At this place, three thousand meters, the gods retreat, Legendary forbidden.

Though not in Chinese, Lin Ke could still feel the flamboyant script, exuding a strong sense of dominance.

However...

"This is a statement my father wrote, with a time cue here."

Rica explained, pointing to a clock at the top right corner of the parchment.

The clock was ticking, and above it displayed several Naseng numbers.

days.

"My father’s profession is [King], and this is his skill ’King’s Decree’, which can last for thirty days."

Rica said, handing the parchment to Lin Ke, quickly withdrawing her hand like passing a piece of scorching red dragon meat: "You’re the commander, it’s up to you."

Saying this, she relaxedly began munching on snacks and even hummed "Free Flying," appearing much relieved.

Meanwhile, Lin Ke felt as if he had taken on a death countdown clock, with each movement of the dial announcing the Legend’s approach.
