Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 463

Chapter 461: Battle depends on momentum

“How’s everyone’s recovery?” The voice of Dragon Slayer Underwood, captain of the Brave Squad, echoed from within the dungeon.

“Don’t worry, Captain. Everyone has drunk the mana and stamina potions and has returned to their original state.”

“Okay, then, let’s continue conquering the dungeon. The core of this dungeon is the Brave Crown. Possessing it means humanity can control the dungeon, no longer worrying about the ‘Demon Tide’ that will inevitably earn the King’s praise. This is the first time we’ve obtained this legendary item of the Brave, and we can truly live up to the Brave Squad’s reputation.”

The Demon Tide, when the demons within the dungeon reach a certain number, will burst forth and attack humans.

Adventurers enter the dungeon to fight not only for wealth and fame, but also to reduce the demon population and mitigate the ‘Demon Tide’.

“Moreover, the Crown of Bravery can enhance mental strength. We are only one step away from becoming legendary adventurers. With the blessing of the Crown of Bravery, we can be promoted to legendary adventurers!”

Everyone looked longingly, as if the day of successfully defeating the Demon King and returning in triumph was just around the corner.

The newly recruited magician confidently declared, “The demon on the next level is the Hydra. It releases venom and poison gas. Our poison resistance has been stacked to a high level, so we won’t have to worry about venom and poison attacks for a while.”

“The most difficult thing about the Hydra is that it has nine heads. If you chop off one, another will regenerate. To defeat it, we must chop off all nine heads simultaneously.”

“That’s difficult for other teams of adventurers, but for us, with our united and connected minds, we have perfect coordination. Attacking all nine heads simultaneously is no problem.”

“If my prediction is correct, we’ll be able to conquer the next level quickly. Captain, you’re the strongest among us. The Hydra’s middle head is yours.”

“No problem, let’s go to the next level.”

However, when they reached the next level, they found no sign of the Hydra. Instead, a pure white, one-horned horse stood quietly there, graceful and beautiful.

The legendary demon, the unicorn.

The pressure on the Heroic Squad doubled. How had the Level 5 Hydra become a Legendary Unicorn?

Shouldn’t Legendary Demons be on the last floor of the dungeon?

Seeing the Heroic Squad, the Unicorn frowned. “Human, I’m only guarding here for Hydra. I don’t want to kill anyone. Retreat immediately.”

“If Lance were here, he’d definitely tell everyone to leave and plan for the future. That’s ridiculous! As a Heroic Squad, we’re destined to defeat the Demon King. If we run away now, how will we have the courage to fight him?”

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Underwood assumed a battle stance. The newly recruited magicians quickly analyzed the situation and formulated the most appropriate tactics. The rest of the team took their assigned positions.

It wasn’t like they hadn’t defeated Legendary Demons before; the Ancient Dragon and the Cerberus were prime examples.

The Unicorn disliked fighting and bloodshed. It was about to say something to stop the fight, but Underwood charged forward, brandishing the Dragonfang Sword.

This was the trophy of victory over the Ancient Dragon.

“Looking for death!” Even the good-tempered unicorn couldn’t help but rage. It didn’t dislike killing, not that it couldn’t.

A thick arc of electricity erupted from its horn, knocking Underwood back.

Had Underwood not been bathed in dragon blood, this single blow would have severely injured him.

Even so, Underwood’s left arm was seared, making it difficult to move.

“Priest, heal the captain, hold up the great shield!” the newly recruited magician commanded.

The priest prayed to the gods, enveloping Underwood in a white light, rapidly healing his injuries.

The healing spell, Illumination, rapidly heals the healer at the cost of mental energy.

The unicorn, Thunder, was furious, unleashing arcs of electricity centered on itself. The team members pounded the great shield into the ground, forming a protective barrier composed of countless transparent hexagons.

The protective skill, Turtle Shell, protected allies within range.

While the unicorn was focused on the great shield, the assassin disappeared and approached the unicorn silently.

The unicorn stomped its hooves onto the ground, unleashing a shockwave that broke the assassin’s cloak.

“Brilliant Sword!” Underwood shouted, and a sword-shaped beam of light slashed down,

only to be lightly dodged by the unicorn. The magician frowned. He should have used his control skills to immobilize the unicorn before unleashing his lightsaber skills.

The magician swung his staff, granting everyone a positive amplification.

The archer aimed at the unicorn’s horn, firing a continuous stream of arrows, their feathers forming a nearly continuous line.

The forger, armed with two cannons, blasted the unicorn’s front hooves, preventing it from using its trample ability.

The Brave Squad members each possessed unique skills, and with their combined strength, they might be able to defeat the legendary demon.

But only a possibility.

The unicorn opened its mouth, emitting a silent ripple that exerted fifty times the pressure on everyone.

The unicorn unleashed an arc of electricity, striking the annoying priest.

“Sumire!” Underwood shouted the priest’s name.

He and Sumire were childhood sweethearts, living in the same village. When they were playing house, Sumire even said she wanted to marry him.

The unicorn continued to release arcs of electricity, and the assassin, the great shield, the archer… his teammates fell to the ground seriously injured

. “Everyone!” He saw his teammates defeated one by one, and he was filled with grief and anger.

He slowly raised the dragon tooth sword and rushed towards the unicorn.

At that moment, he remembered the good times he had spent with his teammates day and night, the laughter of everyone, the earnest hopes of the villagers, and the oath he made to fight the devil in front of the statue.

“For everyone, I can’t lose!” Underwood roared, bursting out with unparalleled strength.

Then he was kicked away by the unicorn’s hind hooves, and a large piece of his ribs on his chest was broken.

The unicorn sneered: “I thought you were so confident and had some trump cards, but it turns out it’s just a hidden skill that increases your combat power with your mind.”

“Increasing combat power with your mind is indeed a rare and powerful hidden skill, but its growth rate isn’t infinite. Do you really think that just because you think you’re powerful, you’re truly powerful?”

The magician’s expression was filled with despair. Even Underwood’s explosive attack failed, and the heroic team was doomed to failure.

“How is that possible? Underwood’s move could even kill an ancient dragon!” The teammates were incredulous.

The unicorn shrugged, “Judging from the power, it could certainly have slain that foolish old dragon, but that would have been when it was exhausted or caught off guard. How dare you charge at me like that and try to kill me?”

“I’m the strongest demon under the Demon King. What makes you think I’m on par with that old dragon? Are you humans full of idiots?”

The group then remembered their previous battle with the ancient dragon. Lance had devised a plan, constantly harassing and poisoning the dragon, keeping it exhausted and struggling, which ultimately gave them the opportunity to attack it.

Previously, they had thought Lance’s plan was too shabby. A true hero would confront an ancient dragon head-on.

Now they understood the advantages of Lance’s plan.

Underwood was unwilling to fail, and stumbled towards the unicorn with his sword raised.

The unicorn was getting impatient and wanted to release its strongest skill to be killed by these blind humans.

Tap tap tap tap…

The steady footsteps sounded in the empty dungeon, suppressing the crackling sparks from the unicorn’s horn.

“You look quite strong, stronger than the earth dolls on the last floor. You shouldn’t appear on this floor. Tell me the reason.”

Jiang Li put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the unicorn, his tone casual.

The unicorn broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn’t think Jiang Li was just chatting.

Lance and the elf archer followed Jiang Li.

Everyone looked at Lance in astonishment, unable to believe their eyes.

Why does Lance have three pieces of brave equipment?
