Suddenly, Alex felt himself being bumped, and only then did he react, quickly retreating to create distance and rubbing his shoulder, which was a bit sore from the impact... It turned out that there was a gap in the Permafrost, allowing the Ruin Guard to seize the opportunity and hit him.
Damn it!
"I'm not looking, I'm not looking!" Because he always had someone by his side, or he would easily one-shot monsters.
This made Alex relax his guard on combat, forgetting that this was equivalent to the real world, and he couldn't pause to check his equipment.
Alex saw that all four monsters had been scraped down to half health. He also saw that his ultimate energy was now full.
Good, good! I'm going to teach you a good lesson, I'm going to unleash my ultimate!
"Let me show you, the true paradise!" Alex said, and a blue circle appeared around him again, spanning ten meters.
Next, Alex once again used his Combat Skill to refresh its duration: "Neuvillette Super Evolution! Azhdaha!"
Well, Alex still preferred to have his summon take on the appearance of Azhdaha. He hadn't seen what Neuvillette's true form looked like, and Azhdaha was big and easy to use.
This time, Azhdaha was a full three meters tall and five meters long, much larger than the previous time he summoned him.
"Thump, thump, thump!" Three dull stomping sounds.
Three layers of water ripples spread from the center of Azhdaha's illusory form on the ground, causing the four defeated Ruin Guards to sway uncontrollably, losing their balance from the water's force, and finally falling to the ground into a paralyzed state.
"Baron Bunny, spin!"
Alex had never tried what a charged attack after an explosion felt like. It was like a motorcycle spinning in a circle to sweep enemies.
The next moment, Baron Bunny instantly spun in a circle, unleashing an Hydro element attack in all directions, dealing significantly more DMG than the automatic floating turrets on either side.
Baron Bunny spun a second circle, but Alex couldn't take it anymore; it was too dizzying!
I should use this move less in the future.
Alex made Baron Bunny exit its explosive form and float behind him.
The ultimate's duration was limited, and he also needed to quickly deal DMG from the side!
Regarding using dual Swords, Alex knew almost no skill effects.
No choice, at least the Sword Aura couldn't stop.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Countless Hydro element Sword blades flew in all directions.
Ground Cleave! Diagonal Cross Sword!... At the same time, the Baron Bunny behind him wasn't idle either; normal attacks, drills, and cannonballs didn't stop.
Just like that. After Alex's ultimate ended, only one monster with low health remained out of the four.
Then Alex seriously began to fight!
His summon, which had reverted to a small Neuvillette, along with Baron Bunny, maintained Frozen. He swung the harbinger of dawn vigorously with his right hand.
His left hand, however, didn't move at all. In fact, when his right hand got tired, he started using the splendor of tranquil waters like a crutch to support his body.
After finishing off this last monster, facing the two newly appeared Lv48 Ruin Guards, Alex directly put away both weapons.
Even though he put both Swords into his backpack, they still showed as equipped on his equipment panel, and he still gained their attributes.
"I'm not going to use normal attacks anymore; it's too tiring!" Alex casually shook his right hand and retreated. He had been hitting too hard just now, like hammering iron, and the DMG wasn't even high.
I'm a Summoner, so I should stick to summoning... Wait.
Alex suddenly realized: "How could I forget to capture a few summonable 'tool-people' before starting!"
Alex slapped his palm, annoyed. It was all because this five-star Baron Bunny was too strong; he had forgotten to conscript more help.
"I'm a frail Summoner!" Alex murmured, constantly reminding himself of his role.
Then Alex thought that after he finished this wave, he would first capture three monsters in the surroundings.
The last wave only had two monsters, although their level was slightly higher. But they encountered the Permafrost team!
After easily defeating the two Ruin Guards, a gray flower appeared in the center of the field, with gold hidden inside the petals.
Alex took out his phone and touched it. The next moment, the flower bloomed, then turned into ashes and slowly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal.
You gained 44000 Mora.
"Huh?" Alex was a little confused, then somewhat understood; it might be related to his level.
Currently, the output of both Domains and Ley Line Outcrops was in the middle tier.
To get the highest tier, he probably needed to reach level forty or fifty!
Good! Next, I'll capture some summons in the vicinity.
Since there were Ley Line Outcrops here, then the Blossom of Revelation, which gives experience books, must not be far.
Alex rode Baron Bunny, searching for new wild monsters and flowers in this area.
By the time Alex actually found the blue aura, the Blossom of Revelation, there were already two Hydro Slimes and one Pyro Slime on the motorcycle seat.
The long-lost Little Hydro and Little Pyro were back!
Well, the truth was, Alex couldn't even find a shadow of a Whopperflower in the vicinity, but Slimes were abundant.
He had originally wanted to catch a Heavy Crab or a Tainted Hydro Phantasm, but when he tried to find them, he could barely see a trace.
Also, the Hilichurl Rangers, which were difficult to catch before, were now considered rare monsters.
Alex realized that no matter where you were, you could always find Hilichurls and Slimes.
Alex was furious, placing the Pyro Slime on his head to signify that he was very angry and not to provoke him.
Another point was to prohibit the Pyro Slime from participating in combat, as it would disrupt the Permafrost process.
It was just an accessory, to boost his attributes!
Alex activated the Blossom of Revelation, and sure enough, Ruin Guards appeared again. This time, the first wave wasn't bad, with only two Lv47 ones.
"Go get 'em!" Alex sat on the vehicle, holding a Hydro Slime in each hand, then threw them at the two Ruin Guards.
Then he used his Combat Skill, also throwing the small Neuvillette.
Let the battle begin!!!
A gap appeared in the Permafrost, and Alex quickly commanded: "Little Hydro 1, dodge! Little Hydro 2, use charge!"
Little Hydro 1 had a question mark, how to dodge? Where to dodge? So the bewildered Little Hydro 1 was hit by the Ruin Guard's cannonball and bounced a distance away.
Alas, there was no helping it, Slimes only charged straight ahead, and their recovery animation was notoriously long.
After clearing the monsters, a gray flower appeared in the center of the ground. This time, blue light shone within the flower.
You gained Adventurer's Experience * 13
Well, it seems there still weren't any large experience books. But getting so many blue ones was pretty good.
Alex immediately used all of them, and his level quickly reached 16.
"Wow!" Alex couldn't help but exclaim. As expected of experience books, they directly raised his level by 6, after he had been stuck at level 10 for a long time.
With experience books, early level progression was truly fast. And the experience required was low, so he could gain many levels with not much material.
Alex was happy. He looked up and saw that the sky was a bit dim, checking the time, it was four in the afternoon.
Hmm, there's nothing urgent to do right now, I'll continue to look for newly appearing Ley Line Outcrops nearby. Level is important!
After all, after claiming one, normally a new one would appear not far away.
Hope there will be!
