After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 473 - : 359. Couple’s quarrel? Black Eagle Wings unfold_2
Chapter 473: 359. Couple’s quarrel? Black Eagle Wings unfold_2
So strong.
Lin Da and two others thought in unison.
None of them was confident they could defeat Abner on their own.
Lin Da mused, truly a Nearly Five Stars character among the NPCs. If it had been Abner who went to suppress the Heretics that day, even if Hulus drank three Magic Potions, he would probably have been beheaded with a single strike.
Abner, level 39, the limit of Star Rank.
The katana at his waist, named [Azure Core], a level 30, Epic Five-star Main Weapon.
...
By comparison, Lin Da’s gear was still alright, Isa’s wasn’t bad either, even if they were at a disadvantage, it wouldn’t be by much. The problem lay with Lia.
A casual sparring session, forbidding adventurers from using Ultimate Skills, meant that Lia’s innate skill [Flame Burst] had nowhere to be applied.
Secondly, Lia’s equipment was truly lackluster.
Snow Goose was too poor; they had never looted high-quality gear from monsters and couldn’t save up a fortune.
Lia only had her level 30 orange Main Weapon, the rest was basically Purple Gear.
As he was pondering, the host Kami jumped onto the Magic-guided Hot Air Balloon, leaving the Arena clear.
Lin Da and the other two were on the left side of the Arena.
Abner was on the right side, with his eyes closed, his right hand on the handle of his blade, assuming the stance for an Iaido Slash.
In the audience stands that could accommodate ten thousand people, there was complete silence, pairs of eyes fixated on the stage.
Would White Dove City’s three new stars become the new ceiling, or would they be left battered and bloodied, securing Abner’s title as “Invincible under the Moon Rank”… The reveal was imminent.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, wearing a detective’s hat, burped drunkenly.
In his arms, he cuddled a fat pig-headed woman in only a black bikini with a stunning figure. The middle-aged man had an interested smile on his face, and he pulled out a notebook from his chest, ready to compose his own review of the match.
“That brat Bailuo the headmaster is totally off the mark with his people, calling them genius adventurers. Just watch me, Luden, expose their underwear!”
Luden, one of the external reporters from Adventurer’s Weekly.
Having seen countless geniuses in his life, he loved pig women the most and loathed self-righteous brats.
The more Bailuo praised them, the less Luden thought of them. These small-time citizens of White Dove City shouldn’t even dream of appearing in Adventurer’s Weekly!
Of course, Luden had a certain level of professional ethics.
If the four on stage reached the level of “could be posted or not”, or even “barely postable”, he would naturally choose not to.
He had professional ethics, just not much of it.
The host Kami tore open a magic scroll, launching a red flare into the sky.
The match officially began!
In an instant, everyone heard a “whoosh”.
The temporarily constructed Arena, with the ground beneath Abner as the center, cracked densely.
The Arena, made with Slime glue from the earth system and a special Array, was tough enough to withstand destruction by Moon rank adventurers.
While strictly speaking the Arena only had a few more cracks, weren’t there too many of them?
Luden’s drunken demeanor vanished.
His eyes revealed a sharp glint.
It seemed he had underestimated this Abner.
Compared to the last suppression of the Earth Dragon that made it into Adventurer’s Weekly, the Abner before Luden’s eyes was a completely new monster!
…
Lin Da only felt a buzzing under his feet, and a blast of air rushed towards his face.
Abner’s figure turned into a streak of blue lightning, passing between Isalia.
They didn’t even have time to react; their red and silver hair was blown up by the storm conjured from Abner’s run.
A chilling blade light aimed at Lin Da’s throat—Abner’s attack target was actually Lin Da, who had the thickest Life Barrier!
This was a slight deviation from the battle plan; Lin Da had thought Isa would be the priority target.
Under the oncoming pressure, Lin Da’s heart pounded like a drum, his hands gripping the Earth Dragon Longsword, blocking in front of him.
Clang!
Abner’s katana chopped down on the blade of his sword, transmitting an enormous force throughout the Earth Dragon Longsword and into his body.
Lin Da’s chest tightened, his legs involuntarily moved backward as if hit by a dragon carriage.
The thick-soled brown tactical boots skidded along the ground, leaving behind a dark streak of rubber.
Lin Da’s body tingled, and the wariness in his eyes grew stronger.
Truly a figure hailed as “Invincible under the Moon Rank”.

With that speed and strength, in a one-on-one battle he wouldn’t have time to chant the spell for Verdant Shield. Abner was definitely not an opponent he could defeat alone!
The audience erupted with amazement.
They couldn’t make out what had happened, only that Abner had struck with one slash, forcing Lin Da back seven or eight meters, his face extremely solemn.
Fry, seated in the front row, took out his handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: “Lucky I didn’t trouble White Dove Adventure Group on the 15th floor of the Great Mystery Continent last month…”
Fry and others like Celina were Iron Level team leaders, yet there were distinctions within the same level. Clearly, they were far from Abner’s level.
With that explosive power and speed, even [War Maniac] Rocher showed an interested expression.
Rocher laughed heartily and said, “Give this Abner ten years, and he could become a new toy for me!”
At this moment, the formation composed of female adventurers stood up in the arena, waving their flags and shouting:
“Lord Abner is the best~
White Dove Adventure Group is invincible~
Let them feel the might of Lord Abner’s katana~ (heart)~”
“Ssst, our Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club can’t fall behind!”
Fry, with her golden braids, stood up unwillingly.
As the vice president of the Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club, Fry had organized her supporters well in advance.
Waving a flag with the words “Eye of True Knowledge” on it, she led a mixed group of about three hundred people, shouting:
“The embodiment of wisdom and courage~
The undefeated iron fortress~
The all-seeing Eye of Wisdom~
Cheer up!”
The fan groups on both sides glared at each other, almost shouting until their throats were sore.
On the arena, Abner looked down at the blue katana in his hand and thought, “Gale’s information was wrong…”
According to Gale, Lin Da’s Life Barrier was estimated to be around 10,000.
That was the strategy: “Take down Lin Da first, get rid of the healing core, and then slowly deal with Isalia.”
Not only was Lin Da studying Abner, but Abner’s command was also studying them.
Gale had overestimated Lin Da’s heartiness as much as possible.
But Gale could never have imagined that Lin Da’s current health points had reached an astonishing 17,500.
This number exceeded that of many level 39 Heavy Armored Warriors!
After being repelled, Lin Da immediately began chanting “Continuous Healing.”
Isalia also recovered, and went to support him.
“Frost Star!”
“Flame Slash!”
The silver rapier shone with a cold light, while the greatsword was enveloped in raging flames.
The two of them, one to the left and one to the right, attacked Abner!
Abner, lost in thought, did not seem to notice the girls’ attack.
But when Lia and her associates came within a meter of Abner, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and his katana traced a beautiful arc.
These arcs, made of real water streams, instantly extinguished the flames on Lia’s greatsword and deflected the tip of Isalia’s rapier.
Bam!
Both were sent flying simultaneously, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
“How is this possible…” Lia wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, her face filled with disbelief.
Her eyes couldn’t even follow Abner’s movements!
“Take this!”
Isalia stabilized her stance as a mist-like Ice Douqi gathered on the tip of her rapier.
With one thrust, she summoned three small ice walls around Abner, trapping him in a confined space.
“So that’s it, now he can’t dodge!”
Lia was about to charge forward, when suddenly, with a loud bang, the ice walls were split in two by Abner.
Abner’s terrifying power made Lia’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably, and she involuntarily took a half-step back. Fortunately, a green light descended on her head, spreading a warm feeling all over her body.
Under the cover of the green light shield, Lia’s tense spirits gradually relaxed.
It was Lin Da’s Verdant Shield!
Thinking that Lin Da was right behind her providing support brought a strange sense of familiarity to Lia’s heart.
During their three years in Snow Goose, they had fought side by side like this hundreds of times.
Suddenly, Lia’s confidence surged, and facing the arrow-like Abner, she did not flinch or dodge but raised her greatsword and slashed down!
—But Abner’s target was not her.
Abner moved as quickly as lightning, avoiding Lia and heading straight for Lin Da.
Abner had no intention of changing the plan; he was focused on taking out Lin Da, the healing core, first!
“Heart Flow, High-speed Slash.”
The katana slashed out a “well” character.
Torrential water erupted from the sword’s glow, looking as if space itself was shattered, with a waterfall pouring out from within.
A sense of danger attacked Lin Da from all directions, with every escape route around him sealed off by Abner’s sword glow.
‘I wanted to save this for later in the midfield, but no choice, I’ll use it now.’
Lin Da’s eyes hardened, he took a deep breath and pulled out his first trump card.
“Black Eagle Wings… spread out!”
