After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Inside the cave.

Kafni nodded solemnly, her eyes meeting Lin Da's as they shared an unspoken understanding.

"I don't need you to tell me, I was ready to use it anyway!"

Kafni bit her teeth fiercely, her voice resolute.

The scant divine power was channeled into her body.

A terrifying golden light shone in her eyes as her waist-length hair fluttered in the violent magic power.

Kafni extended her right hand forward, aiming at the black-robed figure attacking Monica.

Everyone in the cave felt a heavy pressure on their backs, their footsteps becoming much slower, as a vast force swept across the space.

Lulu, Isa, and Lia were all stunned by Kafni's sacred and commanding aura.

What kind of power was this?

Under Kafni's oppression, their calves trembled.

This thief who usually seemed so unreliable, was she actually an incredibly strong adventurer?

The black-robed figure targeted by Kafni only felt a heaviness in his chest and struggled to breathe. He was horrified to find that his feet seemed stuck in the mud, and no matter how much power he used, he couldn't lift them!

The other two black-robed figures also stopped in their tracks with uncertain surprise, not daring to make any rash moves.

"C-captain!" Monica flew into Lin Da's arms like a bird returning to its nest.

"It's okay, it's safe now." Lin Da stroked Monica's head and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

When his gaze turned forward, it became cold and detached.

Anyone threatening the safety of his team, not a single one would be spared!

"Kafni, do it!"

Lin Da said coldly.

Kafni stretched out her fair palm, gently gripping the empty air.

In everyone's ears, they heard the sound of something shattering.

It was like a liver being smashed into a pulp underfoot.

In fact, it was the heart of the black-robed man Revika.

Revika's eyes bulged as he spat out a shower of blood.

In the spiritual world, the core that shone bright as stars quickly dimmed.

The life barrier that had been connected to Revika's body also disappeared.

Along with it, the signs of Revika's life.

Just like a blade of grass withering within three seconds, Revika's pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground, limp.

"What happened? Is Revika dead?"

The other two black-robed figures were shocked.

They couldn't see through Kafni's true abilities.

Logically, adventurers of each rank should have distinct "auras," and one could generally determine another's rank by the strength of that aura.

But they couldn't detect anything from Kafni.

"Outmatched, use the Town Portal Scroll, retreat!"

"Big Brother, I understand!"

The two black-robed figures frantically took out their Town Portal Scrolls.

If they tore these scrolls and channeled power into them, they could return to White Dove City from the fifth floor.

If one assassination attempt failed, then they would try twice, three times!

But Kafni snorted coldly.

"Insects, where do you think you're running!"

Kafni stretched out both hands, clenching them into fists.

Bang! Bang!

Two explosive sounds.

The two black-robed figures turned ashen, spewing out a jet of blood.

The Town Portal Scrolls slipped from their hands, falling to the ground.

Kafni had already anticipated their escape plan.

After killing Revika, Kafni had been brewing another "Invisible Hand."

The moment they took out their scrolls, she crushed their hearts!

"Well done."

Lin Da cheered up.

If these two had escaped, revealing the existence of Kafni's divine power would have surely drawn the attention of the Demons.

Kafni reacted quickly, exterminating them before they could escape!

"For this time's non-epic-level equipment, Kafni, you can choose any two pieces, plus an additional reward of 100,000 gold."

Lin Da was clear about rewards and punishments and decided to reward Kafni.

After a thorough check, there were no other hidden assassins in the cave.

Lin Da pointed to the Goblin Prince who was shivering in the corner trying to run away and said:

"While you still have strength, cripple that creature for me, but remember to leave it some breath so I can practice my hand."

"You're always thinking of good things for yourself."

Kafni rolled her eyes and unleashed a wave of divine power, striking the Goblin Prince.

But the force was clearly not as strong as at the beginning.

After killing the three men in black robes, Kafni had become extremely weak.

Lin Da clearly saw the number -97802 appear above the Goblin Prince's head.

He mentally calculated the health points...

About 10,000 left.

That would do, he was able to solo it.

After Kafni had done these things, she fell from the sky with a thud.

All the golden light, the majestic aura, and various special effects disappeared.

From a beautiful and holy Goddess, she reverted to a Scrap God.

Lin Da was quick to react.

"Dark Whip!"

He wrapped his whip around Kafni's waist and cradled her in his arms.

Not to mention, she was quite soft, and there was a faint scent of alcohol.

The Scrap God had sneakily drunk some Wheat Beer before the expedition started.

Considering Kafni's contribution, Lin Da held back his lecturing mindset.

"Just don't take advantage of your lord here."

After Kafni spoke, she tilted her head wearily and fell asleep in Lin Da's arms.

Lin Da could feel that Kafni's body was like a lump of mud.

During the Transformation, Kafni was consistently 'losing health'.

The powerful divine power wasn't something her frail body could sustain.

While she looked unharmed on the outside, inside Kafni was battered and 'as good as new'.

Lin Da remembered Kafni mentioning that using divine power once would turn her into a scrap, and she would need a long time to recover.

Considering Kafni's injury was work-related, Lin Da decided to pamper her with food and drink and let her rest in the villa as much as she wanted.

Perhaps this was also what Kafni had hoped for. To eat, drink, and be merry in the villa while the hero climbed the World Tree...

Plus, since Kafni was a "Summoned Being", whenever Lin Da leveled up, she would level up too.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without lifting a finger, she could get stronger just by lying down.

Lin Da smiled helplessly.

He would let the Scrap God rest for a while.

He handed the sleeping Kafni over to Lulu and then, gripping the Azure Sword, he approached the Goblin Prince.

"Lin Da!"

Isa and Lia came over.

Lia: "Who were those men in black robes, and what's going on with Kafni?"

Everyone looked at Lin Da with curiosity.

Considering the Goblin Prince had only a sliver of health left and was paralyzed by Kafni's divine power, Lin Da decided to first explain to the others.

He described Kafni's divine power vaguely as a kind of 'Forbidden Move' and glossed it over for the time being.

As for the men in black robes, they might be from Specter Adventure Group.

"Those bastards!?"

Upon hearing this, Lia stamped her foot angrily, "When I get past the 14th floor, I'll be Star Rank, and I'll take them down first!"

Isa shook her head, "Lia, you're not strong enough yet."

Lia: "Who are you looking down on?"

"What I mean is," Isa paused, her gaze turning cold as she said, "add Ice Flower."

"Eh? You want to help Lin Da?"

"Idiot," Isa sighed, "We're no different from the Phoenix Tail Flower. We're both on Specter's hit list. As a few of the most promising Rock-level Adventure Teams in White Dove City, once we grow to Iron Level and join forces with White Dove Adventure Group... What good days would Specter have left?"
