The Nightmare Gargoyle is dead.

To be precise, it should be that its head, which serves as the power center of the brain, has been destroyed by external forces, and has since become a scrap iron statue that is no different from a dead man.

As a result of years of playing, Urs reflexively checked the system prompts in his mind to confirm that the threat in front of him had been removed, and then forcefully withdrew the cursed blade from the nightmare gargoyle's cracked skull, along with the sparse mechanical parts and lubricant-blue construct blood that slashed out the ground and fell to the ground.

The gargoyle's massive body, nearly two meters tall, lay motionless on the ground, and the two sapphire pupils in its eye sockets were dim.

Standing at the door of the chamber to witness the whole battle, Thea saw Urs's body holding the black greatsword and seemed to hesitate for two seconds, then turned her head to look at her face, and her blood-red eyes revealed a strong killing intent that could not be concealed by the two bundles from the young man's eyes.

The girl was stunned by his sinister appearance, remembering a certain experience with him on a mission near Helmet City, and then chanted a prayer incantation under the protection of the Sanctuary Technique, and soon cast a small healing spell on the young man who was still in a state of rage, releasing a warm ball of light to wrap around the latter's body and said:

"Come to your senses, Urs, the battle is over."

Thea's voice slightly awakened the young man's senses. Although the healing effect of the small healing technique could not directly relieve the barbarian's rage, it also made Urs vaguely realize that the wolf-eared girl who was being targeted by him at the moment was not his enemy.

It's the companion he desperately wants to protect.

The short stalemate lasted for a long time, and he quickly shook his head, and forced down the fierce qi in his chest that burned like a flame, tensing every muscle in his body, and gasping out several breaths from his throat as if he was deliberately suppressing some kind of impulsive atmosphere.

"Urs, you... Are you okay? The silver-haired wolf-eared girl watched him hold the giant sword in his hand upside down, lowered her head and bowed her waist, and couldn't help but worry about asking.

“…… I'm recovered, Thea. After a while, he lowered his head and calmed down, adjusted the rate of breathing and raised his gaze, the pupils of his eyes also changed back to their usual brown color, and he said that the slightly hidden berserk ability at the low level was really not so good.

For example, the Berserker and Berserker classes do not have a negative effect on the Berserker class that "Berserkers may cut them when they are mad and friend or foe" is enough to draw attention to the negative effect of "Berserkers may cut people regardless of friend or foe" in the Berserker class.

He still remembers an adventure in his previous life, when he had just reached level 20 and advanced from a warrior class to a berserker, only to almost accidentally slash down a fellow mage who was standing in the wrong position next to him in an encounter in the wilderness, and the hapless mage reacted in time to put a stone skin spell on himself, and then let a nimble ranger in the team walk him like a kite for the duration of the berserk state to finally end the hellish farce.

Therefore, his original intention of asking Xia to perform the Sanctuary Technique before was definitely not to unilaterally dislike the girl for dragging him back, but to be really afraid that after he killed the Nightmare Gargoyle, he would suddenly have a brain cramp and threaten her life.

All in all, things have gone well so far.

After the state returned to normal, Urs and Xia returned to the fork in the center of the Tomb of the Wretful Soul in the direction they came, and led by the former to accurately enter the corridor leading to the exit of the dungeon, and did not run idly to provoke the other two boss monsters in the dungeon.

Ghost immunity to tabula rasa weapons below +1 level, and the enchantment level of the cursed blade is +3, Urs, who holds this black greatsword, will kill a few ordinary ghosts in the way along the way in the next time, and the total level of the character will just come to level 13 with the accumulation of experience points, in addition to the 12 health points obtained due to the Barbarian career upgrade, 9 skill points, and the regular reward of 1 general specialty point every 3 levels after the class is turned positive, it also unlocks a Barbarian class trait called "Fast Movement" for him by the way, allowing him to gain an additional movement speed bonus when his body is lightly loaded.

After a little consideration, he assigned 9 skill points to the four character skills of Tenacity, Slash, Parry, and Intimidation, so that they were upgraded to level 25, 24, 22, and 20 in turn, and then used that 1 general specialty point to further increase the intermediate berserk specialty to the high, so that the number of times he used the berserk ability was expanded to 3 times a day, and he was activated to be immune to the two debuff debuffs of "Charm" and "Shock".

It's always a joy to improve your strength.

However, there is an optimistic saying among the travelers of Emerald Bay, who often say that if Lady Luck visits you once on a journey, she will visit you a second time soon, because the beautiful and lively Lady Lacley likes to help mortals out of trouble when she is in a good mood.

Perhaps it was the kind-hearted goddess who really blessed the two of them at this moment, Urs and Xia went one after the other, and after a long time, they walked from the range of the road into a naturally formed mountain tunnel, and suddenly felt a fresh air flow floating in front of them not far ahead.

There's wind ahead!

Urs's spirits perked up, and Thea, who had the same reaction, turned their heads to look into each other's eyes, and their brains immediately thought of what it meant, and then they sped up their pace in the face of the blowing breeze, and finally reached the end of the tunnel after a few minutes, and came to the outside of the cave through a curtain of dazzling white light, and looked up to find that the dark night had disappeared, and the rising sun was sprinkling the warm dawn on the awakened earth.

The long night fades, and the dawn breaks.

Close call.

Warnes was on top – and if it weren't for his own experience, he would hardly believe he had done it.

He survived, from the background of such a shit start, in such an absolutely real world, with the girl he admired in his life!

What an honor is this, something to be proud of and proud of?

Breathing freely in the cool morning air, he clenched his fists excitedly, and finally calmed down his ups and downs, realizing that the journey ahead would not be so difficult, after all, he knew that he and Thea were already standing at the foot of the western mountain of the Notrick Mountains, and an adventurer city called Twilight City was established in the eastern plains of the Okazawa region, which was not very far from here, and the journey time was about a day and a half.

As a time-traveler player with senior experience, as long as he gets a relatively comfortable leveling environment, he has 10,000 ways to make himself stronger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to share the joy in his heart with the girl beside him, but when he looked sideways, he saw the silver-haired girl's eyes closed, the fluffy wolf ears in her hair fell down, and her soft body suddenly fell into his arms.

Thea's physical strength had already shown signs of overdraft when she was covered in the Frost Forest, and she had been straining all the way, and her tense nerves were loosened at this time, and her tired spirit finally fell asleep with her consciousness.

Urs carefully hugged the girl in his arms, and after thinking about this, he sighed softly, gently lowered his gaze to look at the girl's quiet sleeping face, reached out and stroked the silver hair and wolf ears on her head, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xia...... Take a good rest. ”

After that, he remained in a standing position and turned his head to look into the distance.

Dawn –

It's beautiful.
