Boom!
The clash of the sword echoed throughout the wilderness.
All of a sudden, the Sword of Lake Light in Lu Jin's hand bounced off and he took two steps back. He lost at least 10% of his memory fragments, and at the same time, he heard a system notification.
System: Basic Sword Aurora progressed by 1%.
System: Player's AR Level progressed by 1%.
When Lu Jin heard that sound, he could not help but feel surprised. His sword-technique practice with the Goblin King, where he felt pressured, was a success. His basic Sword Aurora technique, which had been stuck at that level for a few days, had finally progressed.
Although the progress of the AR level was important, Lu Jin personally found that the progress of sword technique was more useful.
That was because the sword technique allowed him to better control the power of the light pulses. Only when his sword technique grew could he control more power.
Previously, he had been stuck at 89%. Now, he had only used Sword Aurora once, and it had reached 90%. The power of the light pulses that he had controlled had obviously increased by 10%. If he could reach 100%, then he would really have the ability to fight against the Shadowrazes in the future.
Before the Goblin King finished his attack, he slashed again. The sound of the air whistling could be heard from 30 meters away.
"Good timing!"
Lu Jin did not show any signs of weakness. He completely relaxed his body and once again brandished the Sword of Lake Light in his hand.
Sword Aurora!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The five consecutive strikes landed on the long saber, which caused it to stop abruptly once again. The strong impact shocked Su Tongwei and the others, but that time, Lu Jin only took a step back and lost 5% of his memory fragments.
System: Basic Sword Aurora progressed by 1%.
System: Player's AR Level progressed by 1%.
System: Neural Reaction +1.
Lu Jin's amazing performance stunned Wang Zhonghu and the rest.
"He blocked it?"
"Is he a monster?"
Previously, the battle between the elite Goblins and Su Tongwei and the others was already unbelievable.
If they faced two or three of such elite Goblins, they would have probably died. However, Su Tongwei and the others faced four or seven of them. Over a hundred elite Goblins were taken down by just the 21 of them.
Moreover, they were excited to deal with those elite Goblins. It seemed like it was even more satisfying than the high-class cuisines at the Light Hotel.
Now, Lu Jin was fighting the Regional Overlord alone. Although he could not cause any harm to the Regional Overlord, just the fact that he could block the Regional Overlord alone was enough to make all the large hunting teams in the City of Light blush with shame.
It should be known that the large hunting teams could rely on their high level to deal with the Regional Overlords that they hunted. They were not subjected to level suppression. Even under those circumstances, they were barely able to deal with the low-level Regional Overlords.
If it was a Regional Overlord of the same level, those large hunting teams would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Everyone, speed up. After clearing these elite Goblins, hurry up and help CEO Lu!" Su Tongwei looked at Lu Jin, who was fighting head-on with the Goblin King, and urged everyone.
Lu Jin might seem to be able to restrain the Goblin King, but every time he fought, he would lose memory fragments. Even if he could use Restoration Potions to recover the memory fragments that he lost, the amount of Restoration Potions was limited, and he needed time to drink them.
As Lu Jin was constantly fighting, there was no time for him to drink any Restoration Potion, so they had to end the battle quickly.
Everyone understood and increased their speed of defeating the elite Goblins.
In less than 20 seconds, Su Tongwei and the others quickly wiped out more than a hundred elite Goblins. Due to Myriad Wishes, their AR progressed. For Lin Xiaokui, she was now only 5% away from reaching AR Level 16. With a few more waves of elite Goblins, she would reach 100% of AR Level 15.
Su Tongwei looked at her own progress and felt a surge of excitement in her heart. After just a battle, it had actually increased by 4%. That speed was simply faster than her own efforts to fight those powerful Level 17 and 18 monsters frantically. The increase was more than what she gained when she had farmed for more than a month.
"Let's go help CEO Lu!"
Su Tongwei didn't dare to relax. She lifted her shield and charged towards the Goblin King.
At that point in time, Lu Jin had lost more than 80% of his memory fragments. On the other hand, the Goblin King was completely unharmed. Lu Jin's situation could be said to be extremely bad.
However, Lu Jin was enjoying it.
The repeated intense battles and extreme challenges had allowed his basic sword technique to reach 98%. Furthermore, due to the improvement in his sword technique, the damage that Lu Jin suffered was also decreasing. Now, he lost only 1% of his memory fragments with each hit.
The remaining 19% of his memory fragments was enough for him to last for more than 10 seconds.
"All Guardians, follow my lead to keep restraining the Boss. Let CEO Lu recover first. The others use long-range items to assist in the attack!" Su Tongwei looked at the Goblin King's fighting style and immediately made a judgment.
After Su Tongwei's orders, the members of the transportation team took out various long-range items from their backpacks.
They were either flame projectiles or explosive darts. Each one of them was much more powerful than an arrow, but they were all consumable items. Each one was worth dozens of units of memory. Normally, unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't be willing to use them.
However, now that they were facing the Regional Overlord, they couldn't care less.
After Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian used their shields to block the Goblin King's attack, Lu Jin quickly took out a bottle of Basic Restoration Potion from his small backpack and gulped it down, which allowed his depleting memory fragments to recover.
When Lu Jin regained 100% of his memory fragments, he rejoined the battle.
Although Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian had good shields, the Goblin King's attacks caused them to lose a lot of memory fragments. Each slash caused them to lose about a quarter of their memory fragments. The two of them took turns to block the attacks and drink Basic Restoration Potions.
In Fantasy World, players relied on various recovery items to recover. However, because the storage in their backpacks was limited, the number of recovery items they held became very limited. It was almost impossible to go on a mission to exhaust a Regional Overlord.
"I'll deal with the Boss, you all go and recover!"
After Lu Jin blocked the Goblin King's attack with Sword Aurora, Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian distanced themselves from the Goblin King without any hesitation.
It had only been less than three to four seconds of the battle. Even with the help of the Basic Restoration Potion, both of their memory fragments had been reduced to less than 50%. The recovery speed of the Basic Restoration Potion simply could not keep up with the speed of their losses. That made the two of them deeply feel the terror of the Goblin King who was the Regional Overlord. It was not as easy to deal with as Lu Jin had demonstrated during the battle.
If Lu Jin had arrived three or four seconds later, they would have been defeated.
As Lu Jin, Xu Xiaotian, and Su Tongwei kept the Goblin King busy, the transportation team in the distance had ample time to attack and could deal some damage to the Goblin King from time to time.
99%… 98%… 97%…
As the Goblin King's Health Points decreased, everyone became more anxious.
That was because it was very easy to attract more monsters in Regional Dungeons. The longer the battle dragged on, the more monsters there would be. Although they had confidence to defeat the Regional Overlord, as time went on, the chances of that happening would decrease. In the end, it was even possible that they would be defeated by the monsters in the Regional Dungeons without any action taken by the Regional Overlord.
One minute… Two minutes… Three minutes…
As the battle continued, it attracted the first wave of Goblins. Su Tongwei had no choice but to let the others deal with the Goblins, and left only the Archers to deal with the Goblin King.
As the damage output decreased, the depletion of the Goblin King's memory fragments reduced significantly.
"Sister Su, if this goes on, we'll be exhausted to death!" Lin Xiaokui was shooting wildly while observing her surroundings. Her expression was indescribably gloomy.
In the previous three minutes, they had managed to wipe out 30% of the Goblin King's memory fragments. When only the Archers were left, the Goblin King lost only 10% of its memory fragments after three minutes. The Goblin King still had 60% of its memory fragments, but the second wave of Goblins had appeared…
It was foreseeable that in less than 10 minutes, the number of Goblins would exceed their limits.
Su Tongwei was anxious.
Should they give up everything and retreat quickly?
Or should they continue resisting?
Regardless of which of those two, their final outcome would probably be the loss of their lifespan in the mist. It was only a matter of whether they lost more or less of their lifespan.
While Su Tongwei was at a loss, Lu Jin, who had been fighting the Goblin King, heard a pleasant notification sound.
