Green Monster Epic

Chapter 349: Forbearance

The night Allen broke through to Legend, he felt the spirit of an unparalleled powerhouse in his sleep, but as a newly-minted Legend, he couldn't fully control the changes in his body's power.

Others embarking on the path to Legend face two major obstacles. For combat professionals, the pursuit of spiritual belief is the most difficult aspect of breaking through to Legend. However, breaking through from level 8 to level 9 in terms of physical body might actually be more challenging than finding their spiritual belief.

No one knows the limits of a humanoid's physical body. After countless times of tempering and refining the body, just when one feels there's no way to move forward, they suddenly discover that they seem to have improved again.

Allen's breakthrough stemmed from his relentless daily training and conditioning of his body since the age of 13 or 14, which laid a solid foundation for him. Later, when he was hunted by a Legend in the maze, the accumulated potential of countless years helped him finally break through that barrier in the face of a life-or-death crisis.

This was one of the reasons why Oscar, Nordin, and the others favored Allen when they realized he had broken through to a level 9 warrior. At the same time, this is also the real reason why Allen is always a bit stronger than his opponents of the same level after breaking through to a level 9 physical body.

Others often temper their physical bodies little by little after embarking on the path to Legend and finding the belief they adhere to in their hearts, using the powerful spirit to provide feedback to the body, thereby completing the physical breakthrough. This is why many people who embark on the path to Legend still need a long time to truly advance to Legend even after finding their beliefs and persistence.

And this time is generally calculated in years.

However, Allen, this guy, found his belief and soon completed the harmonious unity of spirit and body, quickly advancing to Legend.

However, Allen was very clear that his Legend status was just having brute strength without the blessing of legendary specializations. He couldn't exert much of the original strength of a legendary powerhouse at all.

When a legendary powerhouse appeared above Green Lake Village, Allen had an urge to show his strength and rush into the sky to confront the suddenly appearing Legend.

However, Allen finally restrained this impulse: if the other party was just passing by, he wouldn't need to worry about the other party being detrimental to the tribe even if he didn't reveal his legendary strength; but if the other party was subconsciously full of malice towards the tribe, even if he revealed his legendary identity, it probably wouldn't make the other party too afraid.

The legendary pressure on Allen's body was unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Even the ability to stay in the air seemed somewhat immature and wavering because he was still exploring it. After all, his breakthrough and advancement had only been a little over half a month, so how strong could he be!

Rather than revealing his half-baked legendary strength right away, it would be better to forbear for a while and see why this Legend came to the Greenwild Plains.

Now that Allen knew the other party's intentions were malicious, he would not easily reveal his hand, tightly restraining the flow of power in his body, still pretending that he was at the peak of level 15.

The painful and desperate wails of the tribesmen in his ears seemed to be completely unheard by Allen; the corpses, whether complete or incomplete, before his eyes were ignored by Allen; and the movements of Flower Snake, who was sent flying and whose life or death was unknown, were even less of his concern.

He only focused on finding the best opportunity to strike. Since the other party was ruthlessly attacking his tribe, then he must pay a painful price for today's actions!

Allen's eyes revealed a raging fire, but his brain was as cold as ice. Behind the seemingly futile running and chasing actions was actually his surging power constantly condensing and contracting, merging with his spirit, and converging in his Bonecleaver.

Die!!!!

Allen's body dragged out a long phantom, and the fury on the Bonecleaver's blade was burning fiercely, even Allen's entire body was burning. The orange-red fury, wrapped around Allen's slender body, with that indomitable momentum, Allen firmly believed that no one could stop his strike at this moment!!

The legendary figure had a brief pause under Flower Snake's full-force strike. After all, Flower Snake's ultimate skill was originally created with the goal of defeating Allen, and its techniques incorporated moves from the Sword Dancer's inheritance 'Thousand Strikes', the Berserker's inheritance 'Blade of the Furious Storm', and other skills, which were the culmination of Flower Snake's martial arts over the past few decades.

Although legendary powerhouses don't find it challenging to deal with high-level combat professionals, high-level peak combat professionals can still have some impact and cause some damage to the other party if they risk their lives to attack a Legend.

The fine sword marks on the legendary figure's exquisite armor were the traces left by Flower Snake's 'Star Rain Thousand Strikes'. Just as the Legend was catching his breath, wanting to fly back into the sky and carry out a massacre, a cold killing intent came from his mind. The legendary figure disregarded any image and rolled on the ground, searching for the source of the killing intent.

Boom!!!

The ground of the mountain top plaza, made of hard raw stones, was now cracked and sunken piece by piece. Even Allen's stone fort, built with great effort and standing firm under the legendary axe blade, was now crumbling, with countless stone bricks and tiles falling to the ground.

The Fury Heavy Strike finally hit its target. The legendary figure's embarrassed rolling movement was no faster than Allen's full-speed use of Ripple Steps. In the end, seeing that he couldn't avoid Allen's attack, he had to grit his teeth and wave his double axes, forcibly resisting Allen's long-accumulated heavy strike.

The ground of the mountain top plaza, constructed from stone bricks, was cracked, sunken, and shattered beyond recognition, having long lost its original smoothness. Even Allen's solid stone fort was now crumbling, with countless stone bricks and tiles falling, and cracks covering the walls.

A deep wound was cut diagonally across the legendary figure's left shoulder, and scarlet blood seeped out from it, almost splitting the other party's entire body in two.

Daring not to stay on the ground any longer, the Legend shook his feet and flew tens of meters into the air. Only the sky could make him feel a bit safe at this moment. However, Allen's subsequent actions greatly surprised his opponent, and disbelief was revealed in his eyes, but it was blocked by the bronze mask, so Allen couldn't see the expression inside, otherwise it would have been very interesting!

"You…"

The legendary figure was about to speak, but Allen didn't give his opponent any chance to speak, directly leaping up and charging towards the opponent's far-flying figure once again. Without the problem of other people slowing down after jumping up until they fall back to the ground, Allen's body was still accelerating while rushing upwards, as if something behind him was fueling him, carrying him to continue rising.

Boom!!

Two figures passed each other, and the hasty legendary figure flew out horizontally, unable to control his body in the sky for a long time, sliding in the air. As for Allen himself, he fell to the ground under the opponent's counterattack, and with another loud noise, the ground trembled again. At the same time, Allen's figure rose from the ground again, continuing to chase after the still sliding Legend.

Alan wasn't yet skilled at aerial flight, so he simply didn't use his half-baked techniques. His powerful physique, surging rage, and the intangible energy he influenced in the sky were enough for him to leap dozens of meters at a time on the ground, borrowing the earth's power to confront this legendary enemy.

"Pfft!"

In a head-on clash with Alan, the legendary figure sensed Alan's power, which was in no way inferior to his own. He immediately knew the situation was bad, and his intelligence was likely wrong. The tribal powerhouse before him had clearly advanced to the legendary level.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the legendary figure's movements became even more agile. The dull feeling of internal organ vibrations also lessened, allowing him to fight better.

Alan, who had risen from the ground, didn't care whether you were ready or not. His combat dictionary never included any knightly spirit. Having managed to catch the opponent off guard, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to gain some advantage and completely seize the initiative. That wasn't Alan's style.

Another rage-fueled heavy slash, with the enhancement of the Ripple Steps, Alan's speed even produced a whistling sound. In less than a breath, he caught up with the legendary figure.

Thump!

Bang!

Thump!

With every strike, Alan pushed his strength advantage to the limit. Although he wasn't skilled in aerial flight, it was enough for him to catch his breath and gather strength in mid-air when he had the upper hand, then lunge straight at the legendary powerhouse like a sandbag. Occasionally, Alan would land on the ground to adjust his body, then jump up again, chasing after the enemy who had been passive all along.

"You're courting death!!"

However, after all, he was a legendary powerhouse of many years. He at least possessed several legendary specializations. Although his body had suffered some damage, it wasn't without the power to resist. In shame and anger, the legendary figure crossed and knocked his double axes together. All Alan could see was the shadow of the axe blades. The legendary power had already driven away the dust and clouds around them.

Clang!! Bang!! Clang!!

In the sky, two figures transformed into ghosts, flying up and down, colliding and attracting bursts of commotion.

On the ground, a group of goblins were dumbfounded. No one had imagined that their most respected chieftain could also fly in the sky like that legendary figure. Wouldn't that mean that their tribe's strongest member had become a legendary figure at some point?!

The hearts of the Green Field Tribe, which were on the verge of collapse, were reunited at this moment. Those guys who had already started planning their own schemes also stopped and hesitantly looked at the two figures in the sky, gradually moving away.

"Don't just stand there!!! Hurry up and save people!!!"

Philip shouted and directed with all his might. After being reminded by him, Camellia, Black Head, and other leaders also joined in, starting to orderly mobilize the surviving tribesmen to rescue the wounded and supplies.

"Hehe, it seems I was overthinking it!!"

Philip looked up at the sky, searching for that figure who, at first glance, didn't seem great, but was the backbone of the more than a thousand fresh lives before him.

No wonder Alan hadn't made too many moves since he came back. With the strength he had now displayed, no small tricks or actions could threaten his rule.

In the distant sky, the sound was like thunder. Those surging clouds and hurricanes obscured the figures of Alan and his legendary enemy, but the sound of their swords colliding and the commotion during their aerial battle still shook the hearts of the people below, keeping them on edge, fearing that their hoped-for chieftain would be the losing party.

The more Alan fought, the quicker his movements became. His ability to stay in the air became more and more skilled, and he no longer needed to land on the ground to adjust his breathing. With every strike, Alan's anger and spirit began to infect the unknown energy in the surrounding air, driving them to join his side, making his moves even more powerful.

The legendary figure also came back to his senses. The axe blades flew, not only blocking Alan's fierce attacks, but also seizing the opportunity of Alan's unstable aura due to his recent advancement, and began to effectively counterattack.

Compared to Alan's dispersed mobilization of energy, this legendary figure, who had advanced for who knows how long, had a restrained power in every move. Only when his blade crossed with Alan's would it erupt suddenly. Therefore, even though his internal organs were vibrating because of Alan's previous sneak attack, preventing him from fully exerting his strength, he gradually gained control of the situation and fought back and forth with Alan.

Alan was also very annoyed. In aerial combat, he relied on his ability to stay in the air. Not yet familiar with staying in the air, he couldn't fight as steadily as he could on the ground. Every time he exchanged blows with his opponent, he had to slide backwards for a dozen meters before he could stabilize his body. If he were on the ground, he could completely control his body within a very short distance, allowing him to launch a counterattack again.

Of course, as he became more familiar with his ability to stay in the air, Alan gradually found the feeling of stepping on the ground. He stepped into the empty air, and a natural, unknown energy was generated under his feet, holding him up. This was the natural energy that resonated with Alan's anger and spirit and was affected by it. Gaining leverage, Alan shot out several meters in an arrow step, then slammed his foot into the air again, his arms suddenly bursting with great power, and the Bone Cleaver slashed towards the enemy in front of him with his unwavering belief.

The bronze mask covering the legendary figure's head prevented Alan from seeing his true face. The tightly wrapped armor also obscured many of the features of the opponent's race. Apart from judging that the opponent was not a short goblin or kobold based on his height, Alan couldn't learn much more after fighting for so long.

Boom!!!

The sky was filled with shockwaves. Alan's Bone Cleaver and the opponent's two single-edged axes collided fiercely once again. Alan retreated and pushed off against the air, his spirit controlling a surge of energy to grow under his feet. The whole person was finally no longer repelled by the shock, but instead stubbornly resisted the force of the shock and pressed the opponent forward fiercely.

Bang!!

Taking advantage of the gap where both sides' arms were in a stalemate, Alan didn't care that the opponent had a mask on his head and headbutted him, his bear-like head colliding straight with the opponent's head.

If he continued to drag on like this, Alan was worried that the advantage he had managed to gain would be regained by his opponent as time went on. After all, he was new to the legendary level, and there was still some gap in strength between him and the enemy in front of him. This was an undeniable fact.

Shaking his dizzy head, headbutting his opponent was a lose-lose situation. The only advantage Alan had was that he had made preparations in advance, so his reaction time would be faster.

In that instant, Alan's Bone Cleaver was pulled back and circled behind him, replenishing its power and thrusting straight forward. Another deep cut was finally broken open on the opponent's solid armor under his ribs, revealing the blood-red blood and muscles inside.

But the opponent's reaction was also quick, and his right hand slashed out an axe at the same time, cutting a bloody mark on Alan's not-so-well-protected chain armor, another exchange of injuries for injuries.

Alan fought fanatically, ignoring the injuries on his body, frantically stepping and borrowing strength in the air. The blade and axe shadows shrouded half the sky, and the figures of the two men were sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, with occasional pieces of red or green flesh falling down.
