Level up is hard? I can Directly Purchase infinite Levels!-Chapter 72: Is This Really the Squad Leader?

Boom!

The two troll warriors, who had just sent Sean flying, immediately sensed a powerful aura in the air and looked up sharply.

"Another human!"

"Such... rich blood!"

Their savage eyes gleamed with intense greed.

Without hesitation, they abandoned Sean and, with their enormous hands whipping through the air, slammed down towards Raine in the sky!

Raine’s expression remained cold as he swiftly formed a complex hand seal with one hand.

The phantom of the Infernal Griffin flickered, and two energy blasts, charged with scorching heat, shot out.

With a pair of piercing sounds, the attacks immediately pierced through the troll warriors’ hands!

"Ah—!"

The intense pain caused the two troll warriors to howl in agony as they yanked their bloodied hands back.

Before they could react, Raine’s figure appeared like a ghost behind them.

He raised his hand, gripping the massive Thunder Prison Blade that materialized, and with a sharp screech that tore through the air, he swept across!

Crack!

Crack!

The two trolls’ legs, as thick as stone pillars, were severed with a single strike!

Their colossal bodies, towering at four to five meters, suddenly dropped in height, crashing to the rocky ground with a painful howl.

"Thud!"

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood, barely managing to steady himself as he gazed in shock at the battlefield.

The remaining trolls below also looked up, seeing the figure in patrol armor high in the sky.

"It’s our people! Reinforcements have arrived!"

The remaining defenders of Sunfall Gorge erupted in joyous shouts.

"Damn humans! I’ll tear you apart!"

One of the dismembered troll warriors let out a painful roar.

Raine’s eyes were cold as the White Unicorn materialized from the void.

A spiral spear, radiating a divine aura, formed out of thin air and shot forward, instantly impaling a troll warrior’s skull from the back!

Crack!

The sound of shattered bone was sickening.

"Ahhhh!"

The troll warrior let out a heart-rending scream.

The spear pierced through his skull and protruded from his gaping mouth, spinning as it went.

Blood splattered everywhere!

[Ding! Killed a Master-level Hill Troll, bloodstone +11,230!]

"Die, insect!"

The other legless troll warrior, filled with fury, grabbed a massive battle axe and hurled it toward Raine with all his might!

The axe whistled through the air, but it was immediately cleaved by the Infernal Griffin, which protected Raine.

Other powerful trolls followed suit, hurling their weapons into the sky.

Raine’s Thunder Light wings flared out behind him, and his figure flickered like a phantom, effortlessly dodging all the attacks.

He dove downward, wielding the Thunder Prison Blade, executing Lightstep to its peak, tracing countless intersecting blood-red lines on the battlefield!

Where the blade passed, large troll heads were sent flying into the sky!

[Ding! Killed multiple Hill Trolls, bloodstone +90, bloodstone +230, bloodstone +120, bloodstone +880...]

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The troll leader let out a terrified roar, and the remaining trolls began to panic and retreat.

However, a hundred-strong squad appeared like a divine army on the other side of Sunfall Gorge, blocking their escape route!

It was Kyle, Old Gore, Paul, and the others!

They fully activated Blackwater Aegis, with dark water patterns appearing on their bodies, wielding battle knives and executing the combat techniques Raine had taught them to perfection.

They managed to halt the torrent of retreating trolls with their Formal-level strength and even charged back into the enemy ranks!

Using the bodies of fallen trolls as cover, they quickly established a bloody intercepting line.

Seeing that their rear escape was cut off, the retreating trolls crowded before the intercepting line.

The remaining defenders of Sunfall Gorge, including Sean, felt their spirits rise, and they prepared to launch a counterattack.

At that moment, Raine, high in the sky, fell like a meteor!

As he landed, violent silver thunder exploded around him!

It was as if countless destructive lightning whips lashed out in all directions!

Crackle! Boom!

The nearest dozens of trolls were instantly reduced to charcoal, with their shattered bodies flying through the air!

Those a bit farther away were struck by a terrifying shockwave, their bones snapping as they were sent flying!

Where Raine landed, a blackened pit, over ten meters in diameter, was blasted into the ground!

[Ding! Killed multiple Hill Trolls, bloodstone +100, +1150, +2650, +350, +1880...]

This terrifying blow made Sean and the others instinctively stop in their tracks.

The surviving trolls fell into panic!

Some desperately charged the intercepting line, while others turned to escape via the sides.

Kyle’s squad immediately pounced like wolves, slaying or disabling the trolls who were thrown or wounded by the shockwave.

Sean also came to his senses, letting out a furious roar as he leapt into the air, harvesting the trolls’ lives.

"Kill—!!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The remaining defenders of Sunfall Gorge roared in unison.

This time, it wasn’t a desperate defense, but a fierce counteroffensive!

The battle lasted for another hour.

When the last troll fell, the area in front of Sunfall Gorge’s outpost had turned into a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood.

Sean, leaning on his battered battle sword, stood atop the pile of bodies, coughing up blood.

He scanned the battlefield, his eyes cold, as he looked at the few trolls still groaning in agony, their limbs severed.

The other soldiers, nearly all injured, were propping themselves up with their weapons, exhausted.

Their gazes inevitably turned to the hundred-man squad on the other side of Sunfall Gorge.

The strength of this squad left them in awe.

This hundred-strong squad had not only blocked the retreat of hundreds of trolls, but they had also fearlessly entered the enemy ranks.

The wall of trolls’ bodies, piled up as an intercepting line, silently testified to their bravery.

Sean stared deeply at the squad, then his eyes fell on Raine in the center of the battlefield.

He was filled with confusion—this person had just emitted a Master-level aura, so why was he now an Elite-level?

But he didn’t dare to underestimate him for a second.

The two powerful troll warriors had been utterly helpless before this person, and such combat power was certainly not ordinary.

In this battle, the Sunfall Gorge defenders had suffered over half their casualties!

But if not for this sudden squad, they would have likely been completely wiped out.

Sean, dragging his injured body, walked up to Raine, giving him a solemn salute, his voice hoarse.

"I’m Captain Sean of Ironshield Fortress’s 5th Division!"

"May I ask... which patrol are you from?"

"We’re from Iron Dragon Fortress, Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol," Raine replied calmly. "My name is Raine, and I’m the captain of this squad."

"Iron Dragon Fortress? A squad leader..."

Sean paused, confused—why would people from Iron Dragon Fortress be in Ironshield Fortress’s territory?

But he didn’t ask further; perhaps there was a special mission.

What surprised him more, however, was that this person was actually just a squad leader?

What a joke!

The kind of strength he had just displayed—could that really be the power of a squad leader?

Raine noticed his confusion but didn’t elaborate.

He took out a bottle of mid-level healing potion and handed it over.

"Take care of your injuries first."

"Healing potion?"

Sean hesitated for a moment but still took it.

The situation was unclear, and with the trolls possibly returning, he needed to recover as much combat strength as possible.

At that moment, Kyle and the others also walked up!
