Amber Sword-Chapter 612 - 55th Act: King of the Underworld (6)(2nd update)

But Qian could understand and see the strength of the other party, which was different from the miners.

As soon as he was grabbed by Qian, he couldn’t help but scream in terror, "Let go of me... you should run too, those things are really powerful, invulnerable to knives and swords—"

He had personally witnessed his companions using their cross pickaxes to fight back against these creatures. No matter how hard they tried, they could only leave a very shallow white mark on them.

And once these monsters counterattacked, their claws could easily crush half of a person’s body.

Such nightmarish scenes were still fresh in his memory to this day.

But before he finished speaking, the latter half of his sentence got stuck in his throat.

In his deep brown eyes—Brand lightly swung his sword to the right, and the Rock Black Panther, which was preparing to attack them from the side, was sliced in half as if made of tofu, then crashed heavily into the rock wall on one side, shattering to pieces.

The man was instantly stunned.

"He... he..." He pointed at Brand, looked at Qian, then at the young man, stammering, unable to form a complete sentence.

"What’s all the yelling about!" Qian impatiently shook off his hand. However, the girl glanced at Brand, and seeing Brand’s move, couldn’t help but marvel at how the Lord’s swordsmanship had improved once again, truly impressive!

Brand’s swordsmanship at this moment had indeed improved. After splitting the Rock Black Panther, which didn’t even have Black Iron level strength, he realized this. He opened the panel in slight surprise and found that the suffix behind his military swordsmanship had changed to ’+2’.

Although he didn’t know where the +2 came from, it probably had something to do with the guard captain Kulan in the mining area. It might be that he missed the system prompt after being buried by rocks and passing out.

This made Brand feel both surprised and delighted. Although it wasn’t unheard of in the game to gain occasional bonuses by experiencing the swordsmanship realm of high-level NPC swordsmen, it was similar to completing a quest related to swordsmanship, requiring various conditions to be met.

Moreover, these conditions were often much harsher than quests.

Just like the last time he comprehended his grandfather’s swordsmanship in his dream, one reason was that his body held Sophie, whose soul had enough insight into swordsmanship, and another was Brand’s countless connections with his grandfather, plus his own transcendence. The improvement in his swordsmanship realm was natural.

But this time, it seemed rather strange.

Of course, Brand hadn’t finished thinking about this issue when another Rock Black Panther pounced at him—Brand instinctively swung his sword and sent it flying. But entangling with these weak but annoying little things made him somewhat impatient. The young man took a step back and then simply leaped directly into the encirclement.

At this point, the expression on the miner’s face was not just dazed; he plopped down on the ground. He had never known there were such powerful swordsmen in the Guard Team.

The lighting crystal in Brand’s hand drew a bright arc in the dark underground tunnel.

The next moment, several Rock Black Panthers were simultaneously sliced in two and flung out—

...

When the earthquake occurred in the silver mine, Shafrend Town actually got the news in the first instance. The edge of the tremor just affected this small town. People standing on the street could feel the obvious shaking of the ground. The shop owners on either side immediately pressed down on their plates and jars to prevent them from crashing to the ground and shattering.

Of course, losses were inevitable. For example, several pottery shop owners cursed, but more widespread was the impact that the news of the earthquake in the mining area quickly spread throughout the town.

The residents here, women, children, and elderly, most of them had relatives working in the mining area, so a wave of panic quickly spread.

Rumors ran rampant in the town and soon reached the ears of Little Roman.

In fact, this merchant miss was initially quietly staying in her room, trying on the dress Brand had given her over and over again—Brand had picked it up by chance in the town. It looked like a maid’s outfit, and he remembered that he hadn’t given Roman many things, so with a certain ulterior motive, he bought it. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Though the motive might have been a bit dubious, Roman really liked it.

Of course, if it weren’t for the fact that the earthquake happened while she was trying on the dress, causing her to bump into the frame of the standing mirror and resulting in a big red bump on her forehead, the whole affair would have seemed even more perfect.
