Chapter 468: [Oath-Flame Helmsman]

"Vroom-rumble..."

Scorching heat waves rolled and surged in all directions, and the suddenly soaring temperature caused the air to vaguely blur and emit white mist.

The fiery red wavy long hair swayed violently due to the surging heat waves like silk, reflecting the shining flames surrounding the body, and the brownish-red eyes seemed to be ignited by fire.

"Blade of Vengeance"—Luo Lin.

This was both the name of the team she was proud of and had spent countless efforts to build; it was also the nickname that had circulated among other adventurers after she had roamed the Southern Islands for many years, one hand with a scimitar and the other with flames; it was also her own determination and pursuit.

Right now, when the team encountered a terrifying monster of great danger.

As the leader of the entire team and the one with the highest professional level, how could she possibly stand by and watch?

She might not be good at perception, but her extremely firm will and the fire of vengeance that was burning fiercely in her heart at all times endowed by her profession also allowed her to quickly break free from control less than five seconds after encountering a mental attack, becoming the third member of the entire team to regain her sanity, second only to Xia Nan and Haian.

Fire, burning.

Unlike other adventurers who took on basic professions such as 【Warrior】, 【Ranger】, and 【Martial Monk】 that could go straight from lv1 to the lv10 transcendence limit.

Luo Lin's professional path was similar to Xia Nan's.

—lv5 【Scimitarist】 + lv2 【Oath-Flame Helmsman】.

Two relatively niche professions together constituted her total professional level of lv7.

【Scimitarist】, as the name suggests, is a profession with the "scimitar" as the main weapon.

To some extent, if one looked at the number of people who took this profession, it was actually not that niche, but it was listed outside the popular basic professions because of its lv5 level cap.

The origin of 【Scimitarist】 was unknown because it was too long ago; some said it came from the desert natives in the endless desert to the northwest, and others said it originated from port cities on the vast coastline of the continent.

But with the extension of trade routes and the movement of adventurers, this profession born on horseback and in alleys had spread throughout the entire Aifala continent.

As a basic profession for professionals, 【Scimitarist】 did not have any exaggerated special powers, nor did it have distinct characteristics like 【Meteor Blade Hunter】.

It belonged to a branch of the 【Warrior】 profession, but 【Scimitarist】 paid more attention to the flexibility of the practitioner, was good at fighting in crowded environments or on mounts and vehicles, and provided corresponding Agility bonuses and scimitar-type weapon mastery.

And 【Oath-Flame Helmsman】, as an advanced profession, was undoubtedly much more niche than the former, and even had restrictive conditions that must be met to take it.

The core elements were 【Vengeance】, 【Fire】, and 【Leader】.

Only those leaders who had lost everything and refused to sink because of it, and made blood oaths in endless unwillingness and hatred fire, could possibly step onto this professional path paved with hatred and flames, and finally welcome their destination in the wails emitted when the enemy's soul was burned.

At this moment, facing the brutal beast that was rampaging on the field, the fire originating from hatred had completely ignited the heart of this captain.

Sizzle-boom—

Crimson firelight erupted abruptly!

The exaggerated physical constitution of a level-seven melee professional, that explosive power in an instant, made Luo Lin's speed almost leave a phantom made of flames in place.

And her whole person had turned into a crimson thin line that was rapidly extending, shooting toward the Shashou in the sound of flame explosions.

Annoyed by Xia Nan's entanglement, the humanoid shark that was currently chasing the opponent with all its might suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from its back.

Before it had time to turn around, the sharp blade with blue-grade quality, forged by dragon-breath flames and named 【Scale-Fire Scimitar】, had already swept across its body wrapped in scorching flames.

The curved blade, which previously only stirred sparks in the surrounding air, was now completely ignited by orange-red flames, making the gorgeous golden-red texture on its surface like waves even more dazzling, continuously transporting heat to the holder.

No blood.

Those viscous, fishy-smelling liquids didn't even have time to flow down from the skin tissue that had been cut open before being evaporated by the scorching temperature on the blade surface, turning into pungent smoke with a sizzle.

As the firelight flickered, a hideous wound with charred insides had already been left in the center of the chest of the behemoth nearly four meters tall.

Even the exaggerated healing ability endowed by the strong physical constitution unique to monsters was suppressed under the scorching effect of 【Scale-Fire Scimitar】 at this moment, making the wound difficult to heal quickly.

"Roar!!!"

The scorching pain passively strengthened by the scimitar coming from the chest made the Shashou feel incomparable anger, and it roared madly.

Regardless of the difficult black wolf that was wandering and harassing from behind and taking the opportunity to leave a hideous wound on its spine again, it clenched its fist and smashed it toward the woman in front of it.

Boom-rumble—

Under the fist bone wrapped in terrifying power, even the air that should have been formless seemed to be smashed out, crushed in stagnation.

It was not a development direction good at defense; even as a powerful professional at the lv7 level, if one were to be smashed by such a punch, one would likely die on the spot.

But there was no panic on Luo Lin's face.

On that face with flickering flame light, there was only the calmness and composure brought by rich combat experience and confidence in her own strength.

Facing the huge iron fist smashing down from diagonally above her head, she was unhurried, and the flame scimitar she held in her right hand, which had just left a deep wound on the enemy, was horizontally braced in front of her as her wrist turned.

At the same time, she took a deep breath, and the two sides of her cheeks bulged outward.

It was just like the jugglers who were good at playing with fire that Xia Nan saw on TV programs in his past life.

Exhale.

"Whoosh-rumble!!"

Starting from where Luo Lin stood, the fan-shaped area within nearly five meters in front of her.

The orange-red scorching flames were like some kind of miniature dragon breath, surging outward with the breath exhaled from Luo Lin's mouth using the scimitar as a medium.

In an instant, the entire huge body of the Shashou was swallowed.

And Luo Lin herself also used the recoil of the flame spray to be ejected from the spot like a rocket, letting the iron fist that was smashed down with a bang fall into empty space, despite the pain brought by the burning flames.

"Flame Breath Reverse Tide"—one of the key combat techniques that allowed her to take the 【Oath-Flame Helmsman】 profession, had already been promoted to the mastery level many years ago.

Although it needed to use a fire source as a medium when used, its powerful effect similar to an evocation spell, and the characteristic that it could be released at close range without long-term preparation, made this combat technique Luo Lin's invincible killer weapon.

After all, in close-quarters combat, facing this kind of flame breath released almost face-to-face, who could react?

And after "Flame Breath Reverse Tide" was practiced to mastery by her, it had the effect of short-range displacement.

With the help of the powerful thrust attached to the flame breath itself, her body was taken away from the spot, achieving the effect of instantly opening the distance.

Undoubtedly, Luo Lin's actual combat ability and her on-the-spot decision-making in battle fully proved that her lv7 professional level was a practical school piled up through one battle after another.

If she were facing only an ordinary monster in front of her at this moment, such a set of combos would be enough to make the opponent fall into a state of severe burns. ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
