Chapter 342: Chapter 193: How Could This Be a Fake?
’A "talent" Protection, huh?’
Lin Mo recalled a specific trait that some Lord Level Demons possessed.
To put it simply, it was a power that originated from one’s bloodline. Some could provide extra Attribute Amplification, some could boost offensive and defensive capabilities, and others could enhance Elemental Affinity or even Elemental Resistance!
This was also one of the reasons Lord Level Demons were so difficult to deal with.
Although not all Lord Level Demons possessed a "bloodline talent," those that did were almost always very troublesome.
And Goblins were an exception among exceptions...
These creatures, with their bizarre Evolutionary Paths, showed extremely diverse trends after reaching the Lord Level.
Some Lord Level Goblins had bloodline talents, while others didn’t. Some talents enhanced attack, some defense, and some provided Attribute Amplification. It all depended on the various sources of their bloodline’s advancement and involved a high degree of randomness and uncertainty.
To put it bluntly, it was a chaotic melting pot.
And this Silver Goblin before him obviously possessed some kind of "bloodline talent" that enhanced its defense or boosted its Constitution.
That made sense. Otherwise, it couldn’t have survived an encounter with the Elite Level Adventurer Chairman Vick and gotten away with only losing an arm.
If it hadn’t had that trump card, even the Elite Level Silver Goblin wouldn’t have been able to save it in time.
But for a creature whose bloodline barely scraped the Silver Level threshold—its skin a mere silver-gray instead of pure, true silver—even with a "bloodline talent," it couldn’t be that strong.
Lin Mo’s [Blood Qi Blade] hadn’t killed it instantly, but it had landed a solid, vicious blow.
Add to that its already missing arm—in its current state, what did it have left to fight Lin Mo with?
Lin Mo extended his palm. Scorching flames rapidly converged there, forming a Flaming Spear that shot toward the Silver Goblin at extreme speed.
But the Silver Goblin was an Assassin, after all. Even injured, it was still incredibly fast. It retreated just in time, narrowly dodging Lin Mo’s [Flaming Spear].
However, Lin Mo’s assault was only just beginning.
He immediately followed up by casting a [Spiral Wind Vortex]. While its pull wasn’t strong enough to immobilize a Silver Level Goblin, the constant tug was enough to hinder its movements.
But he wasn’t done!
This was what he had conserved his Magic Power for. Lin Mo gave it no chance to catch its breath. The moment it broke free from the Wind Vortex’s pull, hailstones began to rain down from midair.
[Blizzard]!
The slowing effect of [Blizzard] made its movements sluggish once more. At the same time, the still-active [Spiral Wind Vortex] took advantage of this, yanking on it again.
That pull prevented it from escaping the range of the [Blizzard] in time, which in turn triggered the spell’s additional Evolutionary Path: the Frost Freeze effect.
Looking at the Silver Goblin, now Frozen solid in Ice, Lin Mo himself was stunned for a moment.
After all, the "Frost Freeze" effect only had a 20% chance of triggering. He’d gotten quite lucky.
He seized the opportunity, immediately beginning to charge his power. He maxed out the number of Sword Qi for his [Sword Charge Strike], then used [Flash]. The instant the Silver Goblin broke free from being Frozen, seven consecutive streams of Sword Qi had already slashed into its body.
All seven streams of Sword Qi struck the same spot: the wound created earlier by his [Blood Qi Blade].
He didn’t even need all the Sword Qi to connect. As the fifth stream sliced through, the Silver Goblin was completely cut in two.
The upper half of its body, from the chest up, fell to the ground. Its face, just as ugly as any Ordinary Goblin’s, was twisted in a mask of disbelief.
A Silver Level Goblin, slain by Lin Mo!
