Simultaneously, they took a deep breath, their cheeks puffing outwards.
Just like the fire-playing jugglers Xia Nan saw in the TV shows of his past life.
Exhaled.
"Whoosh!!"
From the point where Lorin stood, the fan-shaped area extending nearly five ters ahead.
Orange-red fiery flas, like a miniature Dragon Breath, gushed out using the scimitar as a dium, propelled by the breath from Lorin’s mouth.
Instantly engulfing the entire massive body of the Shark Beast.
And Lorin herself, aided by the recoil from the fla exhalation, rocketed away from her original position like a missile, causing the iron fist, withstanding the pain brought by the fiery burn, to smash into empty space.
"Fla Breath Reverse Tide" — one of the key Battle Skills that enabled her to secure the position of an Oath Fla Helmsman, mastered years ago.
Though it requires a fla source as a dium during use, the inherent powerful effect of resembling Psionics, along with the feature of close-range release without prolonged energy build-up, makes this Battle Skill one of Lorin’s formidable weapons.
After all, in close quarters combat, facing such nearly face-to-face flathrower, who could react in ti?
And upon mastering "Fla Breath Reverse Tide," it gained the additional function of short-range displacent.
With the powerful thrust attached to the fla exhalation, it pulled her body away from the original spot, achieving an instantaneous distance-opening effect.
Undoubtedly, Lorin’s actual Combat Ability, and her situational decision-making in battle, fully justify her Level 7 Professional Level, built up through nurous battles as a practical fighter.
If she were facing an ordinary Demon now, such a set would be enough to inflict severe burns on the opponent.
But at present, this distorted Shark Beast, capable of smashing through a "Deflection Field" with a single punch, clearly won’t be dealt with so easily.
Those fiery boots, briefly floating due to the fla’s thrust, barely touched the ground before she staggered back a few steps, not having regained her body’s balance.
The flas ravaging the Shark Beast’s surface extinguished unnaturally fast, faintly revealing the viscous liquid seeping from the rough shark skin surface.
The entire body, aside from the huge wound cleaved in the chest, only a slight charring appeared on the surface.
No... perhaps not the "entire" body.
The human remnant fused into the Shark Beast, without the protection of tough shark skin, was easily scorched by the flas, now emitting a piercing howl of agony.
Unlike the odd sounds of spiritual control before, what the opponent released was a pure sharp noise this ti.
Invisible sound waves swept by, seemingly distorting the air, outlining the sound wave’s contours.
The sharp noisy din nearly pierced through everyone’s heads on site.
And just at this mont, from the rear of the battlefield, a lodious, high-pitched sound of a lute suddenly rang out, instantly overshadowing all other noise, easing everyone’s minds on site.
Instinctively turning towards the source of the sound.
Seeing, not knowing when, Half orc Alton had already broken free from spiritual control, now holding his small, exquisite Lute, playing attentively.
A tune never heard before.
For the three fighting the Demon on site, the anxiousness lurking deep within from being ambushed midway during the mission, and the emotional swings caused by the dreadful pressure from the powerful Demon were subtly soothed, allowing them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle, uninfluenced by unnecessary distractions.
And for the Barbarian Akken and Spotted Cat race Sasha, still struggling within spiritual control effects, unable to break free, this lodic lute tune also had a sort of strengthening effect on their spiritual will.
Seeing the two originally trembling violently under spiritual control, their bodies suddenly cald down, even their furrowed brows eased.
Then, almost simultaneously, the last two mbers of the Vengeance Blade Blade Squad on scene also regained their senses.
"Aah!!!"
This was Akken’s roar.
Clearly, as the front of the team, he should stand in front when encountering the enemy, creating tactical space for teammates behind him.
But now beca a burden, needing teammates to stall for him instead.
Making this barbarian from a remote tribe on the Southern Islands feel incredibly ashad and angry, almost imdiately upon waking, falling into a complete rage state.
For an ordinary adventurer, such surging emotions would undoubtedly affect their rationality, weakening combat effectiveness.
But for the barbarian, driven by rage as the core, using fury to propel the body, it’s a trendous combat ability enhancent.
Seeing his tattoo-covered, robust body shrouded in a layer of red light, swelling in size several tis larger.
The whole person seed like a tank made of flesh, waving his anchor-shaped giant axe with both hands, rushing towards the Shark Beast.
anwhile, Spotted Cat race Sasha’s moves were even quicker.
Gripping the Short Sword reversed in both hands, leaning forward, the body crouched, like a Leopard in a hunting state.
Gliding easily and nimbly in a ghostly manner towards the enemy.
Only then did Xia Nan truly realize what kind of effect a well-coordinated and reasonably configured high level adventurer team could have when dealing with such strong individual enemies.
"Slash!"
The raging fury burning fiercely, the unflinching barbarian Akken showed no trace of fear or hesitation on his face, lifting his anchor-shaped giant axe larger than ordinary people’s bodies aloft, executing a leaping strike head-on.
Bringing together all the body’s Strength in a daring strike, even with the Shark Beast’s body resilience didn’t dare take it head-on, instinctively retreating in evasion.
Buzz——
Magic Radiance quietly intervened.
Not knowing when, the ground that originally supported its footing behind had completely turned into a viscous mire.
Short-stumpy legs sunk upon entry, dragging along the body’s entire center backward, nearly tumbling.
Perfectly capturing the ideal mont when the opponent’s body leaned back, power hard to exert, Lorin and Sasha acted almost simultaneously.
Carrying the sharp scimitar, engulfed in orange red flas, burning through the air, slashing diagonally towards the Shark Beast’s vulnerable neck;
The two Short Swords accompanied by a powerful Qi stabbed directly at the Shark Beast’s soft ribs, aiming to maximize assisting in causing harm.
The four cooperated seamlessly, each motion interconnected.
Leaving Xia Nan, waiting patiently for an opportunity on the battlefield’s edge, unable to find the mont to strike, fearing his rash actions might disrupt the others’ strategy.
Originally, assuming such combos, even if not instantly ending the foe’s life, could at least put the Shark Beast into a critically injured state.
But unexpectedly, the human limb on it, resembling a corpse, seed to sense the impending danger faced by the main body.
Suddenly lifted its head!
Vacant, soulless eyes opened to their largest, as if ready to burst out the eyeballs, two lines of blood tears trickled from the corners of the eyes.
Mouth opened wide upward, corners splitting outwards.
Buzz——
This ti there was no sound, instead, a powerful shockwave blurring the air.
Centered around the human body, along with mud splashing and fla light being squeezed and shot out, faintly visible a semi-transparent Protective Shield rapidly spreading around.
The scimitar slashing towards the neck, the Short Sword stabbing towards the ribs, the giant axe just pulled from the mire, were instantly flung away.
Like a bomb exploding on site, captain, Spotted Cat race, and barbarian, originally triangulating around the enemy, were swiftly knocked back by the incoming shockwave before even having ti to respond.
Xia Nan stood slightly afar, all around black Qi condensed in a wolf form, like a Winter Wolf observing its prey.
Seeing this scene, a pair of cold, mysterious eyes fell silently on the human body within the Shark Beast.
Murderous intent perated.
