Chapter 461: Chapter 460: Battles Depend on Momentum

“How’s everyone’s recovery?” In the underground dungeon, the voice of the adventurers’ team leader, Dragon Slayer Andwood, echoes.

“Rest assured, Captain, everyone has drunk the magic and strength potions and is back to their full capacity.”

“Good, then let’s continue exploring the dungeon. The core of this dungeon is the Crown of Bravery. Owning it means that humans can control this dungeon and the ‘Waves of Magic Beasts’ will no longer be a worry. We would also definitely earn the King’s praise. This is the first time we could possibly acquire a legendary item like this, truly earning our name as the ‘Brave Adventurers’ squad.”

‘Waves of Magic Beasts’ refers to the moment when the population of magical creatures inside a dungeon becomes so large that they burst out of the dungeon and attack humans.

Adventurers fight in dungeons not merely for wealth and respect, but also to reduce the number of magical beasts and thus decrease their wave attacks.

“And the Crown of Bravery can boost our spiritual power. We’re just one step away from becoming legendary adventurers. With the boost from the Crown of Bravery, we should be able to advance to that level.”

The adventurers looked forward to it, as if they could already see the days when they would triumphantly return after successfully slaying the Demon King.

The newly recruited mage confidently stated, “The next floor’s magic beast is Hydra Xudra. Hydra Xudra can release poison liquid and gas, but we’ve stacked our poison resistance to a high level so we don’t need to worry about its poison attacks for a short while.”

“The hardest part about fighting Hydra Xudra is its nine heads. If you cut off one, it’ll grow back. To defeat it, we must cut off all nine heads at the same time.”

“That’s a tough task for other adventure squads, but not for us. With our Brave Adventurers’ squad all working together, knowing each other’s intentions, and coordinating perfectly, attacking all nine heads at once should be no problem.”

“If my prediction is correct, we should conquer the next floor very soon. Captain, as the strongest among us, the middle head of Hydra Xudra is your responsibility.”

“No problem, let’s go to the next floor.”

However, when they got down to the next level, they found not Hydra Xudra, but a pure white unicorn standing there, graceful and beautiful.

A legendary magical beast, a Unicorn.

The pressures on the Brave Adventurers’ squad doubled. How did a level-five magical beast, the Hydra, turn into a legendary Unicorn?

Shouldn’t a legendary magical beast be on the last floor of the dungeon?

The Unicorn frowned slightly at the sight of the adventurers, “Humans, I’m just here guarding this place for Xudra, I don’t wish to kill. Leave immediately.”

“If Lans were here, he would undoubtedly persuade everyone to leave and think about a long-term plan. How ridiculous, as the Brave Adventurers’ squad, destined to defeat the Demon King in the future, how can we run away now? What courage would we have to face the Demon King then?”

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Andwood took his battle stance. The newly recruited mage quickly analyzed the situation and formulated the best strategy, and the rest of the squad members took their respective positions based on their roles.

It wasn’t their first time defeating a legendary magical beast, the Ancient Dragon and the Three-headed Hell Dog were a testaments to that.

The Unicorn doesn’t like to fight or shed blood, but when it was about to say something to prevent the fight, Andwood charged forward, brandishing the Dragon Tooth Sword.

This is a trophy from the Ancient Dragon they defeated.

“Courting death!” Even the mild-mannered Unicorn couldn’t help getting angry. While it dislikes killing, it doesn’t mean it can’t kill.

The Unicorn let out a huge arc of lightning, blasting Andwood back.

If Andwood hadn’t bathed in Dragon Blood, this blow alone would have severely wounded him.

Even so, Andwood’s left arm was scorched by the electricity and difficult to move.

“Priest, heal the captain, shield up!” The newly recruited mage commanded.

The priest prayed to the gods, covering Andwood in a white glow that quickly healed his wounds.

The healing spell, Light Illumination, costs spiritual power to heal the wounds of the one being treated rapidly.

The Unicorn, furious as ever, let out arcs of lightning centered on itself. Squad members firmly planted their giant shield on the ground, forming a protective membrane comprised of numerous translucent hexagons.

Defense skill — Turtle Shell, can protect all teammates within range.

While the Unicorn’s attention was on the shield, the assassin disappeared, silently approaching the Unicorn.

The Unicorn stomped its hooves on the ground, releasing a shockwave that forced the assassin out of stealth mode.

“Radiant Sword!” Andwood exclaimed as a column of light struck downwards, but the Unicorn easily dodged.

The wizard frowned, they should have first used a control spell to hold the unicorn, and then Andwood should have released his light sword technique.

The wizard swung his magic wand, giving everyone a positive boost.

The archer aimed at the unicorn, constantly shooting arrows, the arrows nearly forming a straight line.

The blacksmith held two cannons, bombarding the front hooves of the unicorn, preventing it from using its trampling ability…

Each member of the hero squad had unique skills, with their cooperation, they indeed stood a chance of defeating the legendary demon clan.

But it was merely a chance.

The unicorn opened its mouth, releasing a silent ripple, inflicting fifty times the pressure on everyone.

The unicorn released an arc of electricity, hitting the annoying priest.

“Sumi!” Andwood shouted the name of the priest.

He and Sumi had grown up together, they lived in the same village. When they were playing house, Sumi even said she would marry him.

The unicorn continued to release electric arcs, the assassin, the shield-bearer, the archer… their teammates fell to the ground, heavily injured one after another.

“Everyone!” He saw his teammates being defeated one by one, filled with grief and fury.

He slowly raised his Dragon Tooth Sword and charged at the unicorn.

At that moment, he remembered the good times spent with his teammates, their laughter and joy, the villagers’ earnest hopes, and the vow he made before the statue to defeat the Devil King.

“For everyone, I can’t lose!” Andwood roared, bursting out with unparalleled strength.

Then he was kicked away by the unicorn’s hind hooves, breaking a large piece of rib in his chest.

The unicorn sneered, “I thought you were so confident, had some sort of trump card, turns out it’s just a hidden skill of power increase by mindset.”

“The mindset power increase is indeed a rare and strong hidden skill, but the growth of this skill is not infinite. Do you really think if you believe you are very powerful, you are indeed powerful?”

The wizard showed a look of despair. Even the explosive Andwood had failed, the defeat of Hero Squad was inevitable.

“How is this possible? Andwood’s move could even kill the ancient dragon!” His teammates couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

The unicorn was indifferent, “By its power, it could indeed slay that stupid old dragon, but that must have been when the old dragon was exhausted or unprepared. So you think you can kill me by just brazenly rushing at me?”

“As the strongest demon under the Devil King, what makes you guys think that my power is in any way similar to that old dragon, are your human brains filled with water?”

Everyone then recalled their past fight with the ancient dragon. Lans made plans, constantly harassing the ancient dragon, poisoning it, causing the dragon to be too occupied to fight back, which gave them a chance to attack the dragon.

Before, they thought Lans’ plan was too sly, a true hero should fight the ancient dragon head-on.

Now, they understood the advantages of Lans’ plan.

Andwood unwilling to accept defeat, lifted his sword and staggered towards the unicorn.

The unicorn, no longer finding this amusing, was about to release its strongest skill, to kill these annoying humans.

Step, step, step, step…

The steady footsteps echoed in the empty dungeon, drowning out the crackling sound of sparks from the unicorn’s horn.

“You look pretty strong, stronger than the clay puppet on the last level, but you shouldn’t be on this level, tell me why.”

Jiang Li slowly approached the unicorn with his hands behind him, his tone casual.

The unicorn broke out in a cold sweat, it didn’t think Jiang Li was merely making small talk.

Lans and the elf archer followed behind Jiang Li.

Everyone stared at Lans in shock, unable to believe their eyes.

Why did Lans have three pieces of hero equipment?
