Free Web NovelChapter 191: Chapter 106: Rosaline’s Super-tier Sword Technique?! The Centaur and the Female Mage
"What you’re saying does make sense." Rosaline nodded.
It was just as Su Xuan said. As long as they could resolve the Demon Cave crisis quickly, Sunset City’s safety wouldn’t be threatened.
"So, don’t worry." Su Xuan gently patted Rosaline’s shoulder, soothing her anxiety. "Sunset City will be absolutely fine, and so will Roxia."
"Okay," Rosaline replied, then added, "Oh, right. I’ve had some new insights recently."
"New insights?"
Hearing this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes.
’Have Rosaline’s insights into Swordsmanship finally reached a critical stage?’
’Is she about to master a brand new High-tier or even Super-tier Sword Technique?’
"Yes." Rosaline raised the black and gold Oath Sword. "It might be an insight I gained after slaying the Bone Dragon. It deepened my understanding of Sword Techniques."
"For example?"
"This isn’t the right place. Let’s go inside."
With that, the two entered the training room.
The moment he stepped into the training room, Su Xuan felt the surrounding air instantly become oppressive, making it hard for him to breathe.
’No, that’s not it!’
The air around Rosaline was gradually thinning, as if being devoured bit by bit by the Oath Sword in her hand. At the same time, the black and gold blade began to emit a faint glow.
And then!
With a casual swing from Rosaline, the Oath Sword erupted in a black and gold radiance, and a powerful wave of Sword Qi shot straight toward the metal dummy in the training room.
The instant the Sword Qi struck its target, a world-shaking dragon’s roar suddenly echoed through the training room, reverberating in every corner!
At the same time, an immense power gathered in the air, gradually materializing into the phantom of a majestic, black and gold Giant Dragon. The Giant Dragon opened its massive jaws and violently spewed scorching black flames, mercilessly incinerating the metal dummy. Every attack carried world-destroying might, as if intending to turn everything to ash.
After a long moment, the majestic phantom of the black and gold Giant Dragon finally dissipated, turning into faint motes of light that vanished into the air. The metal dummy that had once stood there was now completely melted, reduced to a pool of molten iron flowing silently across the floor. At the same time, an astonishing message flashed on Su Xuan’s interface:
[39,999!]
’39,999?’ Su Xuan’s heart filled with surprise and joy. ’A Level 50 or higher member of the Demon Race would probably have trouble withstanding a blow of this magnitude.’
Just then, Rosaline gazed at the sword in her hand and said slowly, "This technique has yet to reach its true potential, but its power is already approaching Kite Moon’s level. Once I fully grasp it, this one strike might even be able to threaten a real Giant Dragon."
Rosaline’s words sent a powerful shock through Su Xuan.
’This single strike could threaten a real Giant Dragon?’
The Giant Dragon they had encountered before was merely a skeleton, its combat power far inferior to what it had in life. Furthermore, the Bone Dragon’s Attributes had been reduced by 50%. Even so, Rosaline’s Sword Techniques at the time hadn’t been enough to deal it a heavy blow. But now, after comprehending this new Sword Technique, the power it contained seemed to have the potential to threaten a living Giant Dragon!
After they finished testing the Sword Technique, they stepped out of the training room.
By this time, Ivsha and the others had already arrived at the Guild and had been waiting in the main hall for a while.
"It’s about time." Su Xuan glanced at the in-game clock. It was exactly nine in the morning. "Let’s head out."
"Okay~"
...
Amidst a flash of white light, the group used the Teleportation Array and landed steadily in Sunset City.
The moment they landed, Natasha greeted them with a joyful smile, asking enthusiastically, "Mr. Su Xuan, are you all here to deal with the Demon Cave matter?"
"Yes." Su Xuan nodded slightly, giving an affirmative reply.
A delighted smile immediately bloomed on Natasha’s face. She said excitedly, "Mr. Su Xuan, Roxia has been agonizing over the Demon Cave. With your help, she can finally be free of this trouble, and I can finally rest easy."
"Where is Roxia now?" Su Xuan asked.
Natasha explained, "She’s leading the Yerman Clan’s Knights and has already gone to the City Lord’s Mansion. I also heard that a group of Adventurers is gathering there too."
"I understand." Su Xuan nodded and immediately headed for the City Lord’s Mansion to meet up with Roxia.
"Wait!" Natasha called out hurriedly. She rushed to Su Xuan’s side, her eyes filled with worry. "The trip to the Demon Cave is full of unknown dangers. Please protect Roxia on your journey."
Su Xuan reached out and gently ruffled Natasha’s hair to reassure her. "Don’t worry, I’ll protect Roxia."
’Besides, with Rosaline along, there’s no way anything will happen to Roxia.’
"And..." Natasha moved close to Su Xuan and affectionately kissed his cheek. "You must be careful, too. Please come back safely."
"I will."
Su Xuan smiled and nodded, then led his team of Adventurers into the City Lord’s Mansion.
When he entered the mansion, he found that the Knights from Sunset City’s six great clans had already gathered, numbering in the hundreds.
At the same time, dozens of other Adventurers also came into view.
Compared to the ones at the moderately dangerous Demon Cave from before, these Adventurers were clearly much higher in Level, basically all over Level 40.
"Su Xuan?"
In the midst of the crowd, Roxia noticed Su Xuan’s arrival and immediately walked over to him.
"What are you doing here?"
Roxia asked curiously.
"Natasha told me you were at the City Lord’s Mansion, so I came looking for you," Su Xuan replied.
"So, you’re planning to participate in the Demon Cave subjugation this time, are you?" Roxia’s gaze shifted to Rosaline, who stood behind Su Xuan, a hint of deeper meaning in her eyes.
"Yes." Su Xuan nodded, then asked, "There are so many Law Enforcement Knights gathered in the City Lord’s Mansion. Is the newly appointed Sunset City Lord planning to personally lead the Knights into the Demon Cave?"
"Yes, but not all the Knights will be going deep inside. Most of them will be stationed at the entrance of the Demon Cave, responsible for standing guard and supporting the Adventurers," Roxia explained.
"And you?"
"As an Oath Knight of Sunset City, I must naturally go deep into the Demon Cave." Roxia puffed out her chest, clearly taking her duties very seriously.
At this, Su Xuan’s gaze swept over her, and Roxia’s attribute panel appeared in his line of sight.
[Roxia (Elite)]
Level: 25 (0/7,500)
Race: Human
Power: 354 / Agility: 362 / Magic Power: 280 / Physique: 300
Growth: 8 (Gains 8 points in All Attributes per Level)
Skills: (Expand)
Trait: [White Rose and Oath Knight]
Status: Demon Liquid Fragrance (Suppressed)
"Oh?"
Su Xuan was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Roxia’s Level to increase so quickly. In just a short period, she had already reached Level 25.
But for the upcoming journey into the Demon Cave, Roxia’s strength was still far from enough.
It couldn’t be helped. Most of Sunset City’s High-tier Combat Power had been lost in the Dark Witch’s plot. If Rosaline hadn’t lost her life in the shipwreck ten years ago, given that she was already over Level 35 back then, she would be at least Level 50 by now.
"Stick with me when the time comes," Su Xuan suggested to Roxia.
"Hmm..." Roxia hesitated for a moment before replying, "Alright."
"Roxia, come over here for a moment."
Just then, an old, white-haired Knight in the distance beckoned to Roxia.
"Coming."
After excusing herself to Su Xuan, Roxia walked toward the old Knight.
Su Xuan’s gaze followed Roxia, and a new information panel unfolded in his line of sight.
[??? (Elite)]
Level: 50 (0/30,000)
Race: Human
Power: ? / Agility: ? / Magic Power: ? / Physique: ?
Growth: 8 (Gains 8 points in All Attributes per Level)
Skills: (Expand)
Status: Death Curse
[Death Curse: This unit will die in three years.]
’A Death Curse?’
Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly understood the identity of the elderly Knight. He was the newly appointed Sunset City Lord that Roxia had mentioned before.
’But who placed this Death Curse on him? Is his return to Sunset City from the Star Kingdom’s Royal City related to this curse?’
"Su Xuan!"
Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, a call broke his reverie.
Hong Lian was waving and striding toward him. Beside her were a few familiar faces: Lu Bo, Shen Jun, and Shen Siqi, along with their team of Adventurers.
This time, however, they hadn’t brought a large group of Adventurers, likely because the Demon Cave’s difficulty was too high to bring along weaker members.
But what caught Su Xuan’s attention more were the two powerful Adventurers walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Hong Lian. Their power surpassed Level 50, and he could identify their Races from their appearances—a Centaur Female Warrior and a Human Female Mage.
Their combat power might not equal Hong Lian’s, but it wasn’t far off.
’As for their quality... are they both Epic?’
"We meet again, Su Xuan."
Shen Siqi walked up to Su Xuan and greeted him with a smile.
Ever since she added him on WeChat offline, Su Xuan’s friend list had successfully gained its third female friend.
But their interactions were limited to sending each other sticker packs, and nothing more.
"Strange, why do I smell a fragrance?" Shen Jun scratched his head, asking in confusion.
Su Xuan knew that Shen Jun was referring to Roxia’s natural scent. Although the fragrance was suppressed, it could still be smelled within a ten-meter radius, and the scent would linger for a long time wherever Roxia passed.
As for its effect of attracting Demons, it was now very faint and wouldn’t have much of an impact.
"Su Xuan, let me make some introductions."
Just then, Hong Lian smiled and introduced them to Su Xuan. "This is Azkman, one of the top Warriors of the Centaur Race!"
"Hello."
The Centaur Female Warrior took a step forward and extended her hand to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan studied the Centaur warrior. Her physique was even larger than he had expected, standing at least three meters tall. Her horse-back was very broad and covered in armor. If fitted with a saddle, she could easily serve as a mount.
Su Xuan suddenly recalled that Liu Xue had also recruited an Epic-rank Centaur, who was said to be the strongest warrior of the Centaur Race.
He wondered curiously how this Centaur Female Warrior’s strength compared to Liu Xue’s. After all, Liu Xue had claimed hers was "the strongest~".
"Hello."
Su Xuan smiled and shook her hand.
Next, Hong Lian introduced the other Female Mage to Su Xuan. "This is Kaelin. She’s an outstanding Life Mage and a devout follower of the Dragon of Creation. Her Life Magic is incredibly powerful!"
"A Life Mage? A pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise."
Just as Su Xuan was about to shake hands with this great Life Mage, a furious roar suddenly echoed in his mind!
’Dragon of Creation!!!’
’!’
