In their eyes, the only thing worth celebrating was that the young man didn’t seem intent on chasing them.
Of course, what they didn’t know was that Brand was currently in a state of exhaustion. The last strike he made used both the Power Burst and Frontal Breakthrough skills simultaneously. One must know that skill consumption is multiplicative rather than additive, which ans that sword strike just consud fifteen tis his normal stamina instantly. Although it didn’t completely drain his stamina, it was normal to feel exhausted after such a massive consumption.
Anyway, the battle was already nearing its end——
He first checked his experience; killing the Dark Priest earned him a total of 4200 experience points. Although he had just leveled up, his experience points had already reached 5645/13600, and the number was still increasing rapidly——He looked up and saw the Silver Elf Guard had completely separated the Lizardn on both sides, pushing them into narrow, complex terrain on the slopes. After the Dark Priest’s death, the Lizardn were practically unable to organize any counterattack, beginning their retreat, which soon evolved into a large-scale rout.
The remaining task was seemingly just to harvest experience.
Brand simply sat beside the Dark Priest’s corpse without touching his belongings, knowing full well his ’Black Hand’ level. He thought it better to wait for the Elental Mage sisters to open it. He took a Fluorescent Crystal from his pocket, lit it, and tossed it out. This was the signal; the rcenaries no longer needed to provide remote strike support and should co down for now. However, the waiting period made him sowhat bored. Feeling idle, Brand looked at his attributes; both Strength and Constitution had reached above 25 Energy Levels, and Dexterity had also increased by 3 Energy Levels. He couldn’t help but clench his right hand——thinking to himself, this is Silver Power.
Although it’s still the lower tier.
In actual combat effectiveness, it should almost be hitting the upper tier, right?
"Just two months, can you believe it, Brand? You went from a lowly Militia to a Quasi Knight with Silver Level power. The Guard Team you once aspired to now seems insignificant. Trust , our journey is far from over——" Brand couldn’t help but smile slightly, pressing a hand against his chest, he said this to himself in his heart, feeling nostalgic, knowing this emotion ca from the side of him belonging to this World.
Because for Sophie, Level 25 was really nothing.
He looked up, seeing the rcenaries already gradually erging from the forest. The Grey Wolf rcenaries were visibly more excited than Hu Que and others because compared to them, they had a more limited understanding of this Lord. Although Brand promised to lead them to victory, it wasn’t until the victory was truly in their hands that they realized how easy this battle was——zero casualties!
Even though there were more than twenty Gold Level Elf Warriors as allies, it was still thirty-odd people against a team of over two hundred, including Black Fire Sect mbers, Demons with the sa Silver Level power, and that terrifying Dark Priest who once brought them nightmarish experiences.
This made Sanfde even a bit excited when he ran to Brand, couldn’t help but ask a bit impolitely: "Lord, did you break through?"
Brand nodded.
"Silver Level power at twenty years old," Sanfde and the other Grey Wolf rcenaries looked at each other and couldn’t help but sigh: "What luck, we have witnessed the birth of two geniuses."
"Two?"
"There was also one who used to be a mber of our group, his na is Ecco."
"So it’s him." Brand raised an eyebrow. But now what concerned him wasn’t this; his eyes scanned the rcenaries and finally fell on the two Wild Elf sisters walking at the back. He imdiately waved over there: "Co, Red-hand Soft girl, help open the corpse!"
This statent left everyone present stunned——
Everyone followed Brand’s gaze and hesitated for a while, finally focusing on the elder sister among the Wild Elf Elent Masters. The girl was slightly taken aback, glanced at others, then hesitantly pointed at herself and asked: "?"
"Of course, didn’t I ntion it?" Brand pointed to the Dark Priest’s corpse behind him, answering: "You co open the corpse...no, I an organize the spoils of war."
The Wild Elf Girl furrowed her beautiful brows, biting her lip, glaring at Brand and said: "Lord, my na is Furlo, not so Red...Red-hand Soft girl!" Said with an elfin accent, she almost bit her tongue trying to get this sentence out. Then she glared at Brand again, thinking this guy always causing her trouble.
Brand coughed, calmly explained: "Alright, Furlo, actually ’Red-hand Soft girl’ is a complint in our hotown."
He saw the other party’s skeptical look imdiately.
"Lord, I have also been to Karasu, but the locals don’t seem to have this saying..." Sanfde quietly reminded from the side.
"No, this is just a Wizard’s jargon." Brand responded quickly.
"What does it an?"
"It ans soone who is very lucky, very soft, and is a girl."
Though she didn’t understand what ’very soft’ ant, the ’girl’ part was clear to the elder sister. She couldn’t help but glance at her Lord with disdain, thinking all Humans are indeed frivolous. Considering her and especially her sister’s subordinate relationship with Brand, Furlo managed not to show a hostile expression. She nodded and prepared to do as told.
Just then, everyone heard a series of heavy sounds coming from the east of the valley. The sounds first started as a rolling rumble, then gradually turned into sharp cracking noises as if sothing was splitting from inside, the continuous booms seed to co from underground, making the ground where everyone stood tremble.
Brand saw the pebbles on the ground seem to co alive——or like they were infused with magic power and started dancing. He instinctively looked at his feet but suddenly realized the sound felt familiar, it sounded like the explosion caused by Dissolution Crystal which appeared in the early stages of the Black Rose War. Speaking of which, in the ga, he hadn’t heard such a similar sound for at least several decades, it felt so familiar...
But wait!
Brand’s expression changed suddenly, he imdiately turned back, and sure enough saw the cliffs on the east side of the valley crumbling in a rising cloud of smoke.
Everyone fell into the sa state of stupor——
