"Boom!"
Facing the attack of the giant monster, Lin Yi merely propelled himself with his legs and leapt powerfully. Landing on the head of a monster, he soared up to a dozen meters and directly brought Liya onto the city wall.
Of course, he could easily defeat that giant monster, but wasn't he doing it to hold the beauty in his arms for a bit longer?
"Um… thank you, but could you please put me down?" Liya's voice was as soft as a mosquito, her face slightly flushed.
"Cough cough…"
Realizing his intentions were seen through, Lin Yi wasn't embarrassed. He cleared his throat and set Liya down.
"Lin Yi."
Hearing this, Liya generously told him her name. For Lin Yi, who had just saved her life, she felt some fondness.
"Liya."
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a monstrous roar interrupted Lin Yi's subsequent flirting plans. Turning to look below the city wall, he saw the giant monster roaring continuously toward the wall.
The roar shook the earth and sky.
The intelligence of these monsters was not much lower than humans. Their original plan was to sneak attack the Saint Haven, but seeing that the two had escaped, a sneak attack was no longer possible. All that was left was a forceful attack.
On the other side of the city wall, dozens of miners disguised as monsters had already prepared. They had snuck into Saint Haven and buried many bombs at the foot of the wall.
"For the Black Dragon!"
With a cheer from one of the monsters, the bombs were ignited.
Lin Yi naturally noticed this scene, quickly grabbed Liya's hand, and ran swiftly toward the other side of the city wall. Liya had no time to react and could only let Lin Yi lead her.
"Boom!"
Explosions resounded as hundreds of bombs detonated simultaneously. Dazzling flames rose, engulfing half of the city wall and blasting a large hole in it.
At the same time, Geraint and Argenta, who were preparing to visit the palace, both looked in the direction of the city wall, their brows furrowed.
"Cough cough…"
Liya coughed lightly; the floating dust in the air made her uncomfortable.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Yi waved his hand to clear the air around them.
"I'm fine."
Liya had just started to speak when she was interrupted by the cries of battle. This attack on Saint Haven was clearly well-planned. The hundreds of monsters were just the vanguard; if they could seize the wall, more would pour in.
"Charge!"
"Follow me!"
"Invade Saint Haven!"
Monsters streamed in through the large hole in the wall.
"We can't let this happen, we have to find a way to stop them." Liya's face was anxious, bow in hand, ready to go forward and meet the enemy, but Lin Yi stopped her.
"Don't stop me. I can't just stand by. This place is just a street away from the residential area, and the attack was so sudden that civilians haven't had the time to evacuate."
Liya was good-hearted. Despite ongoing conflicts between humans and elves, she couldn't stand to see human civilians slaughtered.
"Don't be reckless. You don't even have any arrows left."
Lin Yi pulled Liya behind him, reached into the void, and a white suitcase with gold trim appeared in his hand.
"Spatial magic?"
Liya was once again surprised; it seemed she had underestimated this human.
The next moment, Lin Yi pressed a button, and a fiery, beautiful core rotated in the air, gradually condensing into a long sword and falling into his hand. The entire process was gorgeous, like a work of art.
Monsters had already invaded Saint Haven, led by that giant monster from earlier. It recognized Lin Yi in an instant—the human who had escaped from its clutches—and approached, enraged.
Behind the giant monster, countless other monsters were shouting, acting as soldiers for the Black Dragon.
Liya suddenly felt that the figure standing in front of her gave her a sense of security. She opened her mouth to warn him, but her words suddenly stopped.
"Be careful..."
Before she could finish, the giant monster took big strides and reached Lin Yi in a few steps. Its heavy hammer, like a falling meteor, came crashing down with great force.
"Boom!"
But at this moment, Lin Yi also drew his sword.
Following his sword swing, the temperature around him surged, evaporating the moisture in the air and creating a lot of steam.
A visible red sword wave was unleashed by Lin Yi. Where the sword light passed, it was as if a sea of fire had overturned.
Nearly a hundred monsters, including the giant one, were all slain in one stroke!
The entire scene turned into one resembling hell, with residual flames still burning, proving that the sword strike was real.
"Wow... so powerful," Liya murmured.
"Amazed?" Lin Yi smiled slightly, flicking Liya's forehead, waking her from her daze.
"You're quite brave yourself, little elf girl, daring to fight so many monsters alone."
"I'm not a little girl; I'm an excellent elf warrior," Liya retorted, but clearly lacked confidence.
On the other side, Geraint, Argenta, Lambert, and others like Velskud, who arrived later, were all stunned when they saw the demolished city wall.
They arrived just in time to witness Lin Yi's sword strike.
Of course, people with strong abilities like Geraint and Velskud could easily deal with hundreds of ordinary monsters and one giant heavy-armored monster.
However, they couldn't achieve what Lin Yi did: slaying the enemy with one sword stroke.
And judging by Lin Yi's appearance, he was clearly holding back.
"Don't let these monsters escape," Velskud quickly commanded, leading troops on horseback to chase after the monsters. Lin Yi's sword had shattered the morale of the monsters, causing the remaining ones to flee without entering the city.
To prevent these monsters from causing harm elsewhere, Velskud temporarily set aside his amazement and led the pursuit.
"You guys are too slow," Lin Yi commented.
"It seems I need to re-evaluate you, Ranger Lin Yi. I must say, I already thought highly of your abilities."
"But it seems that it's still not enough."
In Geraint's eyes looking at Lin Yi, there was deep wariness. Perhaps only by using the power of the seal could he possibly resist.
Geraint unconsciously touched his chest, but then smiled lightly, "Fortunately, you're on the side of humanity."
"Geraint, you've got it wrong. I'm not on the side of humanity; I'm on the side of what's right," Lin Yi calmly said, glancing at the nearby Liya. Her admiring eyes really made one feel triumphant.
If there were affection indicators now, a constant "+5 +5" would be appearing over this little elf girl's head.
