Time passed, and the roar faded away. The mushroom cloud had completely ceased to expand around it, but had solidified.

True, the entire mushroom cloud was frozen. This huge cloud of ice crystals and mushrooms, which seems to stand up to the sky, may not be able to slowly melt until the sun rises high in the sky with huge heat...... Maybe it won't be completely completed in a day or two.

The tide of magical energy was still surging, but it was much weaker than before. But the huge mushroom cloud still made it impossible for Erin and the others to completely cast their senses.

"Like...... There is also a sign of a person's survival......" Erin shuddered a little when she said this. If only one person is alive, then the other person is already dead?

Who died? Is Ji Ran still alive? Everyone's heart was lifted. Only Lydia was a little happier at this time, because she was now completely immersed in the state of promotion, completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, but a huge mushroom cloud had taken their place. Towering mushroom clouds—which sounds strange—can be seen easily even from a distance.

Last night's movement was really not small, and it was a matter of course that two powerhouses with strength in the middle level of gold were fighting, and it was a matter of course that they spread for hundreds of miles. What's more, overnight, there was an extra mushroom cloud-shaped iceberg here!

I'm afraid it won't be long before someone comes over to check on the situation...... Not only people, I'm afraid orcs will come too.

The True God Order must have also gotten the news, and Hercules' fact that he has not returned must have made those True God Order people suspicious. But they don't necessarily come...... If Hercules didn't go back, it means that he was at least entangled. Can entangle a gold mid-tier. How strong is the strength or power of the other party?

They're not an organization that can stand up for it. This happened. Most of them are going to retreat in advance...... A gold-mid-tier Hercules? Ask for more blessings.

The true God will protect you, yours; The soul will surely ascend to the heavenly kingdom of the true God...... That's it.

Although there is no threat from the True God Order, whether it is an adventurer or an orc, it will inevitably have an impact on Lydia's promotion...... Although it is not a big problem to have Les here, when no one is promoted to the gold rank, he likes strangers to be around.

But Lydia's promotion was so sudden that everyone was unprepared. No one would have thought that Lydia's advancement didn't need to be promoted to the magic array! Feel the surging magical energy firsthand. Let her be directly stimulated and promoted!

No one has any experience with this thing! Unless it's Ji Ran in ......

That kid always surprises everyone. There seems to be nothing he wouldn't, even if it's Lydia's situation, he can do it, right?

But who survived in the mushroom cloud?

Les clenched his broadsword tightly in both hands, and Erin held the longbow in her hand. They weren't sure that Ji Ran would survive, although that was their best hope...... But if not, they definitely won't let that Hercules go!

Ji Ran would never let Hercules be safe and sound, even if he sacrificed himself. It's bound to hurt that guy badly! When the time comes, everyone will rush to the top. Definitely want to avenge Ji Ran!

There was a determined look on everyone's face. didn't help Ji Ran, it was his own incompetence. But if you can't avenge Ji Ran, you and others will lose the capital to be a man!

Everyone stared at the huge mushroom cloud, wanting to see how the final battle would turn out.

Just under this calm, there was a sudden boom, and a hole suddenly cracked in the ice below the mushroom cloud.

The hole blasted open from the inside out, and countless pieces flew out in all directions. Of course, these shards no longer have the power of a Gold-tier attack.

And a huge figure was slowly walking out of the hole.

Rice and the others immediately raised their weapons. With such a huge body, it's definitely not Ji Ran, but that Hercules! Ji Ran really failed...... The gap between him and the Golden Intermediate Rank is too big after all.

Moreover, the power to blast the ice apart was not something that Ji Ran could use casually. Only that Hercules can break such a thick layer of ice with a single blow!

The huge figure walked over step by step, and seemed to stumble a little. It's no wonder that Ji Ran has been fighting with him for so long and has the upper hand for a long time, how can he not be injured at all? He should be seriously injured by now! As long as everyone attacks together, they can definitely kill him!

Les had already raised his might, and his fighting energy was converging on the great sword. With his full strength, even if it is a golden mid-level, he may not be able to follow it easily. There's Erin and Alice in the back, and Baker and Ben can also see the needles on the side......

Although the mushroom cloud was frozen and frozen, there was still mist floating around it. Although everyone could see the huge figure, they couldn't see it too clearly. But everyone knows that no matter how much Ji Ran's muscles bulge, he will definitely not be able to reach this point......

"Wait!" Suddenly, Erin waved her hand, stopping the crowd from attacking.

Les immediately stopped his imminent rush and turned his head to look at her suspiciously.

"I feel...... That person, it's not Hercules, it should be Ji Ran......" Erin looked at the mist with some confusion. Breaking the ice and coming out of it, the barrier of magical energy is naturally greatly weakened. Erin's perception has already found that that person should be Ji Ran!

But why did Ji Ran become so big? Could it be that there was some unknowable change at the last moment? Although it is not impossible for people to be more than three meters tall in this world, their body size seems to be a little too burly, and there seems to be a little disproportionate between men and women......

Erin didn't know why this strange thought popped into her head, and of course, she immediately threw it away.

Hearing Erin's words, everyone stood still and looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer. Of course, they didn't put it down, after all, perceiving this thing may not be completely reliable.

But when the figure gradually walked out of the ice fog and appeared in front of everyone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That tall figure is just Ji Ran resisting Hercules on his body!

Walking out of the ice mist and seeing Rice and the others, Ji Ran also smiled slightly, then tilted his shoulders and threw Hercules to the ground with a bang. After being thrown to the ground, Hercules didn't even move...... Obviously dead.

He really ...... Single-handedly killed Hercules! Kill a Golden Intermediate Rank powerhouse! And he himself is not even a golden rank...... Wait a minute! Why does it seem like he has reached the Golden Rank?

The momentum of the gold tier is completely different from that of the silver tier. The feeling of converging energy with natural enemies is something that the Silver Tier can't imitate no matter what. And Ji Ran's current cloak was broken, revealing his golden rank momentum, and he was naturally discovered by Les and others.

Ji Ran ...... Are you Gold now? Rice was incredulous.

Ji Ran moved his shoulder, and just now this shoulder was a little uncomfortable pressed by Hercules: "That's right, I'm already a golden rank." ”

There's nothing to hide, especially for your fellow travelers.

"Great, you've finally advanced to the Golden Rank, and you've defeated this Golden Intermediate Rank...... Your strength is far superior to ours...... That's right! Come and see Lydia! "Les couldn't be more excited. Ji Ran's increased strength is a good thing for everyone. When you didn't reach the gold level, you can fight with the gold intermediate level, and now that you have become the gold level, is it possible to compete with the gold high level?

Of course, this is what Rice took for granted. Ji Ran was able to fight against Hercules for so long, relying on the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. He used the catastrophe to put Hercules and himself in a hostile environment, and then defeated the other party with his rich experience......

All in all, the focus now is not on Hercules, but on Lydia.

"What's going on? Lydia suddenly promoted? Ji Ran glanced up at Lydia behind Rice, and his eyes immediately became solemn.

Don't rely on magic arrays to get promoted! Although Ji Ran himself is an example, he doesn't think Lydia will be the same as himself. Why is this happening?

Breathing meditation! All Ji Ran could think of was naturally this. Unexpectedly, the basic exercises in this game in another world actually made Lydia change so much......

Of course, it can't just be a matter of breathing meditation, there must also be the reason for the massive surge of magical energy in those ice systems in the final stage of the Tribulation. It is also normal that the energy tide of Cheng dù has attracted the energy in Lydia's body.

But no one has any experience with this thing! Can anyone else help? How can I help? Nobody knows.

The only thing that is possible to know is Ji Ran.

In fact, Ji Ran didn't know either. This is not the case in the game, and this world is not like this!

Now what? Do remedies? Draw a magic circle under Lydia's feet? Not to mention whether the materials are enough or not, it will be too late in time!

Now Lydia was surrounded by snow and ice, and it hadn't caused a bigger vision. If by then, no one else will even be able to get close to her! So how can these people help?

Although everyone also thought about the possibility of not needing help, it was too disturbing after all. In their eyes, Lydia was still a child...... A child like Alice. Although it is said that Lydia is now seventeen or eighteen years old.

You can't watch your little sister get into trouble and can't reach out to help! Others, although they wanted to help, were clearly powerless. The only one who can help is Ji Ran.

In this case, Ji Ran could only take a deep breath, shake the frost and ice ballast on his body, and then stepped forward and held Lydia's hand. (To be continued......)
