Chapter 77: Max-Level Tide Cross Sword! Tsunami!
Leo felt that all of his sword montum had completely overlapped at the sa instant.
In his previous life, he had learned about a physical phenonon called resonance.
At the ti, the textbook had given an example: thousands of troops marching across an iron chain bridge.
The vibrations caused by each person’s քայլ, if they happened to stack at the sa wave peak at the sa ti—
Then the amplitude of the vibrations could be amplified through superposition, directly shaking the entire iron chain bridge apart.
“The key is to find that exact point of overlap!” A trace of realization arose in Leo’s heart.
If he could grasp the resonance point of his stacked waves, then in a single instant, he could release all of his sword montum within one strike.
At this mont, inside the dungeon, his entire body suddenly ca to a halt.
The Headhunter opposite him thought he had caught Leo’s flaw.
In that instant, his entire body sprang up like a compressed spring.
His speed was extrely fast—his thick finger joints drove sharp, scimitar-like claws.
Several incomparably vicious afterimages were left in the air.
At the sa ti, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and extended his tongue.
Beneath his tongue was actually a small hole—an opening used to fire bone spikes.
After the earlier exchange, he had already figured out Leo’s combat style.
Unlike Goblins, the Headhunter was extrely cunning. Ordinary attacks were rely a ans of probing his opponent.
His true killing move was hidden within his mouth.
With a soft puff—
A bone spike no thicker than a little finger shot out, aid directly at Leo’s eye socket.
The reason he was called a Headhunter—
Was because of his obsession with skulls. He was addicted to collecting the skulls of Humans and Elves.
And at this mont, he had already taken a liking to Leo’s skull. His neck just happened to be missing a Human skull as large as Leo’s to use as a pendant.
The sound of air being torn apart rapidly approached. A bone spike coated in paralyzing toxin swiftly closed in on Leo’s eyeball.
But at this mont, Leo’s entire presence had already erupted into sothing completely different from before.
In an instant, the sword montum within his body ignited like gasoline.
Though he had stood completely still just now, in truth, he had been brewing and stacking sword montum within his body.
And when all of that montum accumulated to a critical point—
It was now!
With a whoosh, the air around Leo seed to evaporate instantly, surging violently upward.
At this mont, the Starfall longsword in his hand erupted with an incomparably sharp sword cry.
It was like the howl of a vengeful spirit, transforming in the blink of an eye into a vast, roaring gale.
In that instant, the bone spike in the air was blown away by the current.
The Headhunter opposite him felt a sudden chill.
At that mont, it was as if several blades had simultaneously slashed toward his body.
Horizontal Slash! Fivefold!
Sen!
Leo’s longsword transford into a streak of silver light that swept horizontally—like a surging tsunami.
It completely tore the Headhunter apart.
Claws, flesh, bones—everything was split into two within the radiance of Leo’s sword.
That single strike had directly cleaved the Headhunter in half, even leaving behind a sword scar several ters long on the wall behind him.
As the corpse hit the ground, Leo felt as though all his strength had been drained, dropping to one knee.
Just one sword strike had already exhausted all of his stamina.
Leo looked at his panel.
【Hunting (White) Level 3 12/100 (Perceives the weaknesses and body structure of prey, obtaining more detailed information about the species) (Effect: Hunting Mont Level 2)】
The experience for Hunting had increased again.
In addition—
【Tide Cross Sword Third Stage 100/100 (Effect: Power of Tsunami)】
The sword technique 【Tide Cross Sword】 had finally been maxed out!
A new effect had been unlocked—Power of Tsunami!
When Leo’s swordsmanship reached max level, an entirely new effect appeared.
Power of Tsunami—Leo felt that the na was extrely fitting.
Sword montum stacked like waves, converging into one point, as if triggering a world-destroying tsunami.
Leo looked at the two halves of the corpse in the pool of blood before him, as well as the massive sword scar behind him that looked as though it had been torn open by the claws of a giant dragon.
At this mont, Leo felt that his understanding of swordsmanship had reached an entirely new realm.
It was an art of pushing sword montum to its absolute extre.
By charging in advance and stacking montum, one could unleash a strike far beyond one’s own strength in an instant.
The drawback was that it required roughly two seconds of preparation, and the stamina consumption far exceeded that of ordinary sword techniques.
That fivefold stacked Power of Tsunami just now had already completely drained his stamina.
“This move can be used as a finishing blow at critical monts.”
Leo thought to himself as he began to steady his breathing.
He took out a strip of Headhunter jerky from his pouch and placed it into his mouth to chew.
Leo felt that his consumption of Beastkin at had increased significantly compared to before.
On one hand, the progress of his Breathing Technique had enhanced his physical attributes. On the other hand, the sword techniques he used were extrely stamina-intensive.
If an ordinary person were compared to a car, then the current Leo was like a heavy armored vehicle—one operating at full load.
“The two jin I bought last ti will probably be used up soon. To keep up with supply, I’ll need about four jin of Beastkin at.” Leo calculated inwardly. “Next ti the Kingdom rchant Caravan cos, I should buy more.”
After all, he had earned quite a bit of money from this assessnt, so he finally had so financial confidence.
Having made up his mind, Leo began handling the Headhunter in front of him.
In truth, he still felt sowhat uncomfortable dealing with this kind of Beastkin—after all, they were bipedal creatures that walked upright.
According to the Beastkin Compendium and 《Kingdom Travel Notes》—
The Beastkin race was divided into many subspecies, but generally speaking, what people referred to as “Beastkin” was a broadly distributed subspecies.
Creatures like Ogres and Trolls all belonged to this category.
Unlike the Thunder Lizard, this subspecies of Beastkin stood upright on two legs and sowhat resembled Humans.
Many commoners, without looking deeper, lumped all Beast races together as Beastkin, which strictly speaking was incorrect.
Aside from these humanoid races, there were also many cave-dwelling races, draconic types, and half-beasts.
This ti, what Lady Manta wanted was lean at. In fact, Leo could have taken extra portions during the butchering process.
But he did not want to take such petty advantage. He now had legitimate ways to earn money and had no need to tarnish his reputation over such trivial gains.
Moreover, he cherished his current job in the dungeon.
The short sword in Leo’s hand moved swiftly, its blade weaving through the Headhunter’s tendons, bones, and muscles.
With his current mastery of max-level Basic Sword Techniques and max-level Tide Cross Sword—
Being a butcher was now nothing more than child’s play.
“Be careful here—there’s a very well-hidden venom spike.” As Leo’s short sword cut toward the Headhunter’s lower jaw, his movents suddenly slowed.
While working, he had already ntally deconstructed the Headhunter’s anatomy in advance.
The Level 3 【Hunting】 provided an anatomical perspective that greatly assisted him in this task.
Leo carefully used his short sword to extract the venom spike beneath the Headhunter’s tongue canal.
He felt that his panel profession was practically tailor-made for being a butcher.
After completing the most difficult stage of dissection, supported by his 1.5 Spirit Attribute, Leo began multitasking—studying his panel while working.
【Tide Cross Sword Third Stage 100/100 (Effect: Power of Tsunami)】
After this sword technique reached max level—
His other profession had finally t all the requirents for advancent.
