Chapter 498 -242: Epic Skill—Demon Light Piercing Kill
Glen was no fool. After so many years with the Jade Commerce Association, he knew exactly how they operated.
Although the young master of the caravan they were escorting hadn’t died and was intentionally let go, the Association would absolutely not let them off the hook if this matter was exposed.
On the other hand, if they went along with the proposal from this Young Master Bainlo and insisted that the one who was just released was the real Preston, it would match the story of the Preston family’s young master escaping.
As for the personnel losses, they could easily explain that they encountered powerful Demons on the road. To protect the young master, several members of the caravan, including the esteemed Assassin, were killed by the Demons while buying time, but the young master ultimately reached the Royal Capital safely…
Although losing an Elite Level combatant was also a big deal, he was, in the end, one of the Preston Family’s people who had simply been turned by Miss Camilla. The caravan would most likely not pursue the matter to the end.
And if the Prestons started asking questions, Miss Camilla would naturally be there to help explain…
Most importantly, they had no choice.
If they refused, they would most likely die on the spot.
“Give me some time. I’ll go convince everyone.”
Glen took a deep breath. Since he had decided to do it, he had to be thorough. If someone had loose lips after they got back, then none of them would make it out alive.
“Alright.”
Bainlo nodded. “But you have to be quick. It’s getting late.”
“I understand.”
…
Glen turned and went to talk to the caravan members, while Bainlo turned to look at Lin Mo.
“Mr. Lin Mo, you have a general understanding of the situation now. I heard from Uncle Grim that you also have some conflict with that Duke Sed Morin?”
“Indeed.”
Lin Mo nodded, understanding the other party’s intention. “We can cooperate. Even…”
He glanced at Deke, who was standing to the side.
Deke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly snapped back to his senses. “Right, there’s also our Lion Adventurer Group!”
He looked at Grim and chuckled sheepishly. “Our group leader and Mr. Grim go way back. Besides, those nobles are really annoying, especially that Duke Sed. Of all the people who come to harass our Adventurer Group, at least a third of them are his.”
He was no fool. The current situation wasn’t just bad for Glen; it was just as grim for them.
Although the Falcon Corps and the Lion Adventurer Group had always been on good terms, when it came to something this important, if they had a disagreement, there was no guarantee the other side wouldn’t make a move.
Several of the Falcon Corps’ core members were here. If a fight really broke out, Lin Mo might have a chance to escape, but they wouldn’t.
“That would be for the best.”
Bainlo also breathed a sigh of relief. Running into Lin Mo, Deke, and the others was a completely unexpected situation.
Although both sides had a common enemy, to a certain extent, that didn’t necessarily mean they would become friends.
If Lin Mo had refused the proposal, frankly, both he and Grim would have been in a difficult position.
Because they couldn’t possibly make a move on Lin Mo.
Standing behind him was a behemoth a hundred times more terrifying than the Morin Clan!
“Alright, let me briefly explain the plan to you both…”
Bainlo gave a description, roughly outlining the scheme to come.
After listening, Lin Mo nodded. “It’s actually not a bad idea.”
‘Just a bit slow.’
According to Bainlo’s plan, even if everything went smoothly, it would take a long time to completely bring down the Morin Clan.
But for the time being, there really was no better way.
At least the first phase of his plan was very much to Lin Mo’s liking.
Glen quickly convinced the members of the caravan. Those who couldn’t be convinced, or who became obstacles in the process, were simply treated as “losses” and dealt with cleanly and efficiently.
Soon, the carriage was on its way again.
On the last short stretch of the journey, they encountered no more trouble. Soon, the caravan left the Blackwater Swamp.
The rest of the journey held no real danger. At most, they would run into some Demons that weren’t even Lord Level.
So, Lin Mo returned to the carriage and finally had time to check his recent gains.
[Flash] Skill Level +90
[Meteor Sting] Skill Level +90
Killing humans could also grant Skill Level.
90 points of Skill Level. It seemed the opponent was, just as Lin Mo had thought, a Level 11 Professional.
“Skill [Flash] Lv5 (180/180) Level Up!”
“Current Skill [Flash] Lv6 (25/300)”
The Flash skill had also reached Level 6. It was just one level away from being maxed out and evolving into a new skill.
Although, Lin Mo currently didn’t want his Magic Skills to evolve.
On the other hand, [Meteor Sting]’s Skill Level was already close to full and about to level up.
These 90 Skill Level points filled the final gap.
“Skill [Meteor Sting] Lv6 (300/300) Level Up!”
“Current Skill [Meteor Sting] Lv7 (Max)”
“Gained Attribute Points: Strength +5!”
‘Finally… I finally maxed it out!’
Although it seemed to happen relatively quickly, Lin Mo had used this skill countless times and fed it so much Skill Level along the way to finally max it out.
Still, getting 5 points in his Basic Strength Attribute directly after maxing out an Excellence Level skill made all his hard work along the way feel worth it.
So, what would his second Warrior Class Epic skill be?
