176 Enemy Trace! The Demon Faction! (1/2)

Should what was spoken at the Devil's Swamp that day be true, the champion revealed by the Dark Annihilator would prove to be just like an unsheathed sword that was sharp like no other.

At this moment, Slayer's Heart appeared plain and simple to Qin Ruo. However, what he was seeing was contrary to what he had thought. Each and every little skill of his grasped onto the vital spots of his target with no mercy. Just like a heavy sword without a cutting edge matched with careless attacks, which was even better at inflicting damage onto the enemy.

The few people battling in the vicinity saw the strength that Slayer's Heart displayed and they slowed to a pause as Qin Ruo did. Sounds of the wind getting cut by the swinging of Pazuzu's Warhammer accompanied by deafening rhythmic bangs caught their attention as they witnessed the Darkshadow Archdemon stagger again and again under the bombardment of Slayer's Heart's critical attacks that were deceptively slow.

”...”

Other than Violet Orchid and the ladies, Dinosaurcerer and the others were utterly in awe of Slayer's Heart's strength!

As if the six combo strikes before were not enough, Slayer's Heart's movements now appeared to have yet again reached an unbelievable new level! Only one word went through the audience's minds as they watched, stunned—amazing!

In their state of wonder, they could sense that the one and only thing in the eyes of Slayer's Heart was the Darkshadow Archdemon. He was completely immersed, in a whole other world. Right now, no one knew if any attacks launched on Slayer's Heart would even remotely disrupt his pace. So they watched on with bated breaths, not daring to make a single move that could cause a sound, in fear of potentially affecting the Slayer's Heart's performance.

Brother Da and Gold Digger Babe who were hiding way in the back as they observed the situation of the battlefield had long forgotten their own duties. They were fixated on Slayer's Heart as they swallowed air down their parched throats.

Gold Digger Babe finally understood why her unofficial brother-in-law, who to her was extremely powerful, was willing to settle with this small party as an ordinary player.

'Brother Slayer, that strength, that…'

She dug deep into her knowledge of the words, but she could only find one to describe the performance of Slayer's Heart—astounding. She could not comprehend how Slayer's Heart did what he was doing. The calmness, pace, smoothness, skill, and timing of Slayer's Heart executions made it look all so natural, and showed that he was indeed capable of suppressing a Darkshadow Archdemon that possessed the strength of a Level 47 Miniboss.

While the two of them had all their attention on Slayer's Heart, not more than ten meters away, several plants were slowly being flattened to the ground. It was as if a heavy object had fallen upon them. Despite that, not even the slightest sound was heard. And because of that, it did not attract anyone's attention!

”He has finally gone into his zone.”

Violet Orchid ran back to her initial position as she said that out of the blue. Her words caught Qin Ruo's attention and he turned his face to the side, asking, ”Sister Orchid, has Brother Slayer always been this great and powerful?”

”Him?”

Violet Orchid tucked the hair on the side of her ears as she smiled and shook her head. ”If that were the case, it would have been great.

”The greatest weakness of your Brother Slayer's Heart is his inability to get serious. Normally, his strength would just be of a normal professional player's. Only when he is faced with imminent danger does he enter his zone…” Upon saying that, Violet Orchid paused for a moment as she looked at Slayer's Heart. A sweet little look flashed on her face, showing how proud she was of him. ”Only now can he truly be himself…”

Seeing the rare expression of a happy little girl upon Violet Orchid's face, Qin Ruo's jaw dropped.

'Cough cough. Wasn't there a piece of gossip shared among the ladies saying that Violet Orchid and the Squad Leader of Bauhinia Clan were of an item? Why does it seem…?!

'This… this was too…

'…too 'that' already!'

Realization hit Qin Ruo like a bolt of lightning as he just noticed something more groundbreaking than Slayer's Heart's strength. Overwhelmed by all the thoughts running through his head, he stared at the side of Violet Orchid's face as it swiftly went back to its original expression. Could it be that Sister Violet Orchid actually had a crush on Brother Slayer's Heart? But why would Burning Rose and the other ladies say that she was Scarlet Bauhinia's girlfriend?

'But…

'Doesn't Slayer's Heart already have a family… and a child?!

'Oh my god!

'It's too complicated!'

Qin Ruo shook his head, deciding not to put too much thought into it. It was these kinds of boy-girl love stories that were the most dangerous. He already had deep feelings about it. It would not do if he became nosy and stuck his nose into other people's business.

At that point, Slayer's Heart had already unleashed more than ten skills onto the Darkshadow Archdemon and they were proving to be very effective. He was thrown off his feet and his MP dropped to the bottom of his MP bar.

”Do it now!”

With a low roar, Slayer's Heart launched Dragon's Ascension, striking and pushing the Darkshadow Archdemon two steps backward!

Having followed Slayer's Heart for several months now, Little Apple's understanding of him was not something that could be easily done by just anyone. She had already rushed to the side much earlier on, ready at any moment. As Slayer's Heart gave his command, the Thunderslash that was fully charged struck the tip of her sword like a thunderbolt from the clear sky above and hit the Darkshadow Archdemon like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, Burning Rose, iLittle Arrow, and Violet Orchid made their moves at that very moment.
