Chapter 81
Turns out I'm a numbers monster too!
"Alright, alright, let's put aside the question of how powerful it is for now."
Jin waved to a bishop next to him.
"Go and get Ginell a bottle of natural potion."
He had already tried it when he helped Ginnell up; the power of the Holy Light had completely permeated Ginnell, diluting his originally powerful regenerative abilities considerably.
In short, Gianna is now just a humanoid blob of holy light, and only regenerative abilities outside of the holy light system can be fully effective.
The bishop smiled and nodded, then moved back and forth with almost teleportation-like speed, pouring a bottle of emerald-colored potion into Ginell's mouth.
"Druidic natural healing potion, high-grade."
Just by looking at its pure color, Gianna knew that this potion was not cheap. After taking the potion, the vitality that kept surging from the depths of her body and the rapid healing of her injuries confirmed this.
I feel like I've finally come back to life.
Sister Eve pulled a scroll from the Book of Words and handed it to Genelec, saying...
"This is how you train your shockwave combat techniques."
"Ginnell, remember what I reminded you of."
Ginnell looked thoughtful, wondering if Sister Eve had figured something out.
The opponent's strength is unfathomable, so it's not surprising that we can glean some insights from this battle.
Ginnell certainly knew how to deal with the shockwave attack, and even had his own combat techniques that could completely counter it.
Zhongdeng taught him about ultra-high-resolution protection.
With its exceptional resistance to control and restriction skills, if Genelec uses this move in battle, confronting the shockwave head-on will be a piece of cake.
But it's unnecessary.
Ginnell moved his right hand; his injured wrist had fully recovered.
If it weren't for the overpowered effect of the Ultra-Great Protection, he wouldn't be feeling this good right now.
The power of the card pack is seamlessly integrated into the battle system, making it possible to fight even against a numerically powerful monster like Lady Eve.
If macro protection were used, Ginell might not even realize this.
Of course, there is also the most likely possibility.
If Sister Eve had realized the effectiveness of the super-protective shield, she would probably have decisively increased the intensity of the trial and thoroughly crushed Ginnell.
The golden scales had just begun to absorb damage and slowly regenerate when they were shattered by a second wave of damage that surged like a tidal wave, and then the above process repeated itself endlessly.
Ginnell thanked Sister Eve and Master Golden Finger, then left the Church of Holy Light with his wooden box on his back, intending to go straight back to the tavern to rest.
The physical fatigue and injuries have been repaired by natural medicine, but the mental fatigue has not.
Ginnell planned to go back and have a good drink, and also discuss the upcoming training plan with Luke.
He wants to become a numerical monster like Ms. Eve!
No one followed them along the way, and Ginnell didn't see any of Dula's attendants, proving that the other party probably hadn't resolved the card auction issue yet.
Of course, it's also possible that the appraiser Dula hired wasn't very skilled and hadn't figured out card magic yet.
As they approached the entrance to the Dark Forest, Ginell gave a slight jerk on his shoulder, and the wooden crate on his back fell to the ground with a thud.
"I was wondering why no one was following me. Turns out they were waiting for me at the entrance to the dungeon in the Dark Forest."
"Come out, everyone."
Outside the dungeon entrance, or more precisely, some distance from the Adventurers' Guild's frontline camp, figures emerged from the woods and silently surrounded Ginnell.
The clothing concealed his identity, the sharp weapon, and the murderous intent that, after dissipating, converged on Genele.
"Although I don't know where you're from, you've certainly caught a good time."
Ginell's shadow shifted slightly, and a figure wielding a poisoned dagger darted out of the shadows and rushed towards him, the blade already close to his neck.
A sudden light shone from Ginell's body, and an external shield spell formed a thin film around him, blocking the dagger.
The fighting spirit on the dagger pierced a sharp dent in the shield, but it did not pierce through the shield and reach the body as the assassin had expected.
Flames rose and lightning crackled. With a push of his hands, Giannai unleashed an explosion of lightning and fire that shook and distorted the shadow where the assassin was hiding, and shattered the wooden crate used to store weapons.
Clouds surged and mountains shattered!
Gianna swung the enforcer with one hand and swept it out. The assassin, whose shadow walk was interrupted, didn't even have time to scream before he was smashed into three pieces by the enforcer.
"One blow and he's dead, and in pieces, he's in pieces all over the place."
With a flick of his wrist, the heavy, menacing tip of the enforcer smashed the assassin's head with a thud.
"It seems you are not a strong person."
Upon hearing Ginell's words, the mysterious figures who had been extremely wary were momentarily stunned.
What kind of hellish method of assessing combat strength is this?!
What defines a strong person?
Does he survive a single blow, or does he die from a blow but his body remains intact?
But Ginell won't give them time to think.
Having just finished his battle trial with Ms. Eve, Ginnell felt incredibly strong.
It wasn't that he was too weak, but rather that Ms. Eve's stats were too supermodel-like, making him seem like an incompetent husband in comparison.
Turns out I'm a numbers fanatic too!
The scene couldn't even be described as a tiger entering a flock of sheep; rather, it looked like goblin heavy construction equipment had rolled over thatched huts and wooden fences.
What are you yelling about? I thought it was a speed bump!
I used so much force, how come you're still alive!
Clouds surged and mountains shattered!
Ginnell's hammer strike unleashed a terrifying, crushing shockwave, like a gravity magic circle inscribed on the weapon.
Those mysterious figures who were struggling against Ginell's attacks were not unwilling to run, but were immobilized by the shockwaves generated by the enforcers and could only watch helplessly as they fell.
boom!
Smoke and dust billowed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the battle was ended with a single hammer blow.
"What kind of thing dares to block my door? They're really looking down on me."
For example, traps, or codes carved on tree trunks and stones.
After dismantling and smashing several vicious traps that were bound to be triggered along the way, Ginell began looting the corpses.
For a proper tavern owner, wastefulness is not a quality to be expected.
But after taking the item out, Gianna fell silent.
Hooks and nets, hunting traps, small crossbow bolts, and a bunch of loose potions...
Gianna picked up each of the bottles of potion, shook them, and determined the effects of each potion.
Scent detection, blood tracking, and anesthetic drugs were all available. In addition, Ginell found a bottle of medicine containing a weak toxin, but it was unclear what kind of toxin it was.
Ginnell realized something was wrong.
This configuration doesn't seem to be looking for trouble.
It's more like they're hunting something.
These mysterious figures who remain silent and kill you on sight are like the servants of noblemen and gentlemen who are responsible for security and clearing the area during their hunting expeditions.
They shoot any civilians who dare to approach them on the spot.
