"Monsters! Be destroyed in the endless raging waves of my water goddess, Aqua!"
Aqua, however, showed no sign of stopping. Going with the tide, she even began to increase her magical output.
With the surrounding area, spanning thousands of meters, about to be submerged by the giant waves, if left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before even the nearby villages would suffer devastating damage.
Yunxiao immediately flew over and used his telekinesis to pull Aqua and Sato Kazuma out of the water. He then promised Aqua, "That's enough! Stop it, Aqua! I'll buy you a case of top-quality sparkling wine as compensation!"
"Ok?"
Aqua immediately opened her eyes, her gaze regaining its sparkle, and looked at Yunxiao expectantly, asking, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Kazuma Sato: ""
"Mo... Yi! Do whatever you want!"
He no longer wants to complain.
One moment you're talking about destroying the world, the next you're bought off by a case of bubble tea?
I didn't believe your lies!
"Of course it's true! Don't you trust my credibility?"
"Money is just a number to me! I can have as much as I want!"
"I'm not interested in money!"
Yunxiao said calmly.
A case of top-quality sparkling wine costs only around ten million Eris; you can earn that by selling just one piece of equipment.
"Alright! I agree! I'll spare these monsters' lives!"
Aqua glanced at Wang Yang below, pretending to be serious, then stopped channeling her magic. The magic circle in the sky quickly shrank and disappeared.
"That won't do!"
Watching Wang Yang begin to surge towards Axel below.
After all, the terrain there is lower.
Yunxiao immediately drew his longsword from his waist again, unleashing his full power and a terrifying aura that caused all the demons within thousands of meters to tense up.
In the more distant city of Axel, the Adventurers' Guild's magic alert system was issuing frantic warnings.
"A-level energy reaction occurred in the western suburbs? How could that be?"
Luna exclaimed in surprise when she saw the warning level given by the magic warning system.
This is the beginner village, isn't A-level a bit too much?
Yunxiao's spiritual perception did detect the alarm from Axel's side, but he ignored it and focused all his energy on unleashing his sword intent to the extreme. He swung his sword and unleashed more than ten sword strikes at top speed towards the direction of Axel.
Each sword strike was several meters long.
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
It cut in a straight line in the direction the flood was moving.
It carved a trench three or four meters wide and hundreds of meters long into the ground, allowing the floodwaters to rush into the trench and be guided towards the river at the end of the trench.
"Phew! It's finally resolved!"
Seeing the floodwaters successfully recede into the distant river, Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed his longsword, and waved his right hand, which was numb from overexertion.
Then he landed on the ground with Aqua and Kazuma Sato, removing the Nen from the three of them.
Kazuma Sato: ""
Aqua:
The two who witnessed Yunxiao's terrifying barrage of attacks were now staring at him in a daze.
"thump!"
The next moment, Kazuma Sato knelt down cleanly and decisively in front of Yunxiao, performing a full dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling gesture), and cried out, "Boss! I want to learn that move you just made! Teach me! Please!!"
Yunxiao was speechless: "You bastard!"
This is beyond shameless!
"Awesome!"
Aqua clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes shining as she looked at Yunxiao and murmured, "As expected, the heavy responsibility of defeating the Demon King rests on your shoulders!"
Yunxiao completely ignored Aqua and instead attacked Sato Kazuma, saying, "That's just a normal flying slash. When you raise your Water Breathing Technique to its highest level and your physical abilities catch up, you'll naturally be able to use such a move!"
"Get up quickly! Don't embarrass me! The mission isn't finished yet!"
He really wasn't lying to Kazuma Sato; the breathing technique can improve physical fitness, and the accompanying sword techniques are also excellent preliminary sword moves.
Once Sato Kazuma becomes a master swordsman who can cleave iron, he will basically be able to unleash flying slashes!
It's just that its power won't be as strong as what Yunxia just used!
After all, he not only possessed terrifying physical strength, but also had sword insights from Ximen Yunxiao and, most importantly, sword intent.
"What? That wasn't..."
Upon hearing this, Kazuma Sato became excited, but upon hearing the second half of Yunxiao's sentence, he immediately raised his hand in confusion and tried to point to the place where they had been.
Then they discovered that even the terrain had been altered, not to mention the corpses of the four giant frogs that Yunxiao had killed.
"Uh"
Kazuma Sato froze on the spot. The next moment, he roared at Aqua, "Aqua! Look what you've done! All our monsters were killed for nothing! Now we have to start all over again!"
The thought of facing those terrifying giant frogs again made Kazuma Sato's legs tremble.
Aqua:
"Hey... I'm just a healer! Leave the monster killing to Kazuma and Yunxiao! I'll just buff you guys!"
Aqua shook her head vigorously, refusing to lift a finger again!
Thinking about it, she realized how incredibly stupid she had been!
A high priestess actually went over and fought the giant frog head-on with her fists; she must have had a brain fart before!
Kazuma Sato: ""
Why didn't you say you were a healer before?
They even mocked me for being a coward!
"Kazuma! Go now! Overcome your fear! In fact, with your current strength, taking down a few giant frogs is a piece of cake! You have to believe in the results of your hard work over the past two weeks!"
Yunxiao encouraged Sato Kazuma.
How does this guy level up if he doesn't kill monsters?
How can I gain enough skill points to become his experimental tool without leveling up?
"what?"
Sato Kazuma perked up upon hearing this, thinking: "Really? I've endured such terrifying training, what's a few giant frogs to me?"
"Hiss...whoosh!"
He took a deep breath, then exhaled, and drew his long sword from his waist, walking toward a giant frog that had just emerged from the ground not far away.
This time he was smarter and went around to the back of the giant frog.
"Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash!!"
Then he charged forward and swung his sword.
The longsword instantly sliced into the giant frog's back near its head, leaving a deep wound.
"Cuck!!"
The giant frog cried out in pain, then angrily turned around to retaliate against the little insect that had been sneaking up on it from behind.
But how could Kazuma Sato let him have his way?
Once he calmed down, he performed quite well. The next moment, he landed on the giant frog's back, flipped over, and appeared on top of the giant frog's head.
"Water Breathing - Eighth Form - Takitsubo!"
With a "boom!", the sword, carrying the force of its descent, struck the giant frog directly on the head.
"Qua..."
This giant frog wasn't a particularly powerful monster to begin with, and after suffering such a series of attacks, it was severely injured and passed out, collapsing to the ground and unable to get up!
"Tap!"
Upon landing, Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief. However, being cautious, he still stepped forward with his sword and plunged it into the giant frog's head, ending its life completely before stopping.
It embodies the essence of prudence.
Having gained the experience of the first kill, Kazuma Sato also discovered that the giant frog was not as terrifying as he had imagined!
As long as he doesn't act recklessly and chooses the right angle and time to strike, the breathing techniques and sword styles he learned from Yunxiao will allow him to easily deal with these giant frogs!
"Good job, Kazuma! Keep it up! You need to kill at least ten today!"
The distant clouds gave a loud shout of praise and offered a reminder.
"Huh? Ten? Why?"
Kazuma Sato's face immediately turned pale. This was twice the amount required for the mission. He immediately retorted, "Isn't the mission only for five? And that's for the three of us!"
"Also, I suddenly remembered, the mission details are recorded by the adventure card, right? Even if the corpses are washed away, the kill count is still there! Whether the monster corpses are there or not doesn't matter, right?"
He felt deceived and tricked.
Chapter 81
"what?"
However, Yunxiao used his telekinesis to fly over and float in front of Sato Kazuma, crossing his arms and looking down at him, saying, "Who the hell told you that this trip was only for a mission?"
"Huh? Isn't it?"
Kazuma Sato looked somewhat bewildered.
"of course not!"
Yunxiao, with a hint of exasperation, coughed and said, "This time, the main purpose is to train your combat skills and, incidentally, help you level up a few more times and accumulate some skill points so you can learn skills like Divine Water Creation, which can be linked with the Water Breathing Technique, and Physical Growth, which can improve your physique through training!"
"Don't you want to further improve your strength?"
If it weren't for letting Kazuma Sato test some of his ideas, he wouldn't have bothered dawdling here!
"Oh!"
Sato Kazuma suddenly realized what Yunxiao meant and was moved by his good intentions.
He immediately became incredibly excited, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, and exclaimed, "I got it! Boss! I'm going to keep killing monsters! Today's goal is 10... no! Twenty giant frogs!"
"Oh huh?"
Yunxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, nodding with an air of aptitude: "Not bad! Go for it! I'll have Aqua buff and heal you!"
"Ouch!!"
Kazuma Sato raised his longsword, locked onto another target, and charged forward.
"Hey... is it really okay for you to fool him like this?"
Aqua, who had somehow appeared beside Yunxiao, asked, suppressing a laugh.
What does "deceive" mean?
Yunxiao raised an eyebrow: "Am I not telling the truth?"
"Uh"
Aqua was speechless.
You're just spouting nonsense without thinking!
"You stay with Kazuma and heal him, I'm going to grind some monsters and level up a bit! I'm off!"
With that, he teleported away from the vicinity in a flash, heading to the deep mountains further away, where he searched for higher-level monsters and began a rampage of killing to level up.
After grinding monsters for most of the day, and seeing that the sun was already setting, Yunxiao finally finished his work and teleported back to Aqua and the others in a few moments.
