Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Conn-Thor’s Trump Cards
‘Hoh…So this is a forbidden skill…’ Shye mused as he stood face to face with a three-meter-tall monstrosity.

Conn-Thor appeared menacing, however, his appearance wasn’t of the mutated type.

Instead, his body only grew larger and his muscles became more defined.

In addition to this, a transparent purple aura shrouded the bandit boss’ entire being.

Shye didn’t know what happened to Conn-Thor’s body but what he did know was that the bandit boss’ attributes tremendously grew.

Was it temporary? Shye didn’t know.

However, for some reason, Shye wasn’t scared. Not one bit.

In fact, he was excited to test his prowess against someone who was relying on an illegal advantage.

“Now, little boy. Let’s see if you still have the capability to stand in front of me! GRAAAAGHH!!”

Crimson embers lingered in the air as Conn-Thor viciously slashed both of his katanas in an X motion, prompting a flaming X mark to emerge.

It then ferociously flew straight towards Shye at an alarming speed, forcing him to take the attack head-on.

Expecting to enjoy a difficult expression on Shye’s face, Conn-Thor was disappointed as Shye merely sneered at his attack in disdain.

Then, in one swift motion, Shye slashed both greatswords vertically downwards, easily destroying the X-slash mark.

Conn-Thor was shocked.

However, since he didn’t put that much effort into that X-mark attack, Conn-Thor wasn’t shaken by how easily Shye dismissed it.

Still, he was impressed.

Even the average emerald-ranked adventurer would have to expend quite a bit of effort to resist that attack, hence, he was truly surprised at how Shye handled his attack.

The bandit boss had seen his fair share of talents and among them, Shye was easily the best.

“I admit, you’re strong. However, can you handle…this?!”

After saying yet another set of confident words, Conn-Thor disappeared, reappearing next to Shye the next moment.

If not for Shye’s trained reflexes, he might’ve been killed on the spot.

*CLANG!*

A metallic noise reverberated across the lair as Shye successfully blocked Conn-Thor’s downward slash by raising his greatswords horizontally, causing Shye’s feet to sink a few centimeters into the ground.

However, the bandit boss’ attack didn’t stop there, in fact, it had only begun.

Conn-Thor’s arms worked non-stop, continuously slashing his swords at Shye with reckless abandon, believing that offense was the best defense.

He fought against a few emerald-ranked adventurers and none of them lived once he activated his illegal trump cards.

Hence, the bandit boss didn’t believe that Shye would be able to deal with his relentless assault which was not only fast but also powerful.

Unfortunately for him, the scene where Shye was slowly overwhelmed by his attacks didn’t happen as everything he threw was either easily blocked or parried—none made it past Shye’s guard.

The most infuriating thing for Conn-Thor was the fact that Shye’s arrogant smirk never left his face, as though Conn-Thor’s full-powered assault was nothing to him.

“HRAAAAAGHHHH!!!”

Enraged, the bandit boss used everything he had, increasing his rate of attack.

However, nothing happened.

Shye was still able to deflect everything he threw with a smile.

Realizing that he was simply wasting energy, the three-meter-tall Conn-Thor temporarily retreated, staring daggers at Shye while gnashing his teeth in anger.

“Heh, that’s all you got? Weren’t you an ex-emerald adventurer? Are all emeralds this weak?” Shye mocked, slightly disappointed that he didn’t even lose in terms of strength.

Well, even Shye was shocked at his rapid growth.

After investing all of his points in upgrading his attributes, naturally, he expected that he would grow stronger.

However, not this strong.

His rare talent called Greatsword Meister, enhanced all of his warrior attributes by 30% and 20% respectively when holding two greatswords.

Hence, as his attributes increased, the bonuses also grew larger and larger.

This specific talent was the reason why Shye was able to easily fend off Conn-Thor’s assault.

If the bandit boss had nothing else, then this fight would be over soon.

“Hah…Hahaha…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lad, you’re indeed strong and I admit that I am indeed unlucky to meet someone like you, however, if you think you’ve already won, then you’re gravely mistaken.” Conn-Thor began, flashing a crazy smile at Shye who was looking at him as though he was nothing but a blabbering idiot. “Oversoul!!”

After the sinister old dog exclaimed the name of his trump card, the transparent-purple aura shrouding his body started to turn black, appearing to flow in and out of Conn-Thor’s pores as his massive form reverted to its usual size.

Yet, his physique now seemed even more chiseled, his eyes ablaze with crimson intensity.

“Hoh? Now we’re talking…” Shye muttered as he observed the changes in Conn-Thor’s body with a confident grin.

The guy looked way more menacing now compared to his gigantic form earlier.

“Now, let’s see if you dare disrespect me still, you little shit…” Conn-Thor’s words echoed with a blend of one monstrous voice and the soft tones of twenty-seven young girls, sending chills down Shye’s spine.

Shye took one deep breath to calm his unstable emotions, wiping the arrogant smirk off his face and replacing it with a serious countenance.

This time, he didn’t dare underestimate the bandit boss.

*FWOOSH!*

Clouds of dust lingered in the air as Conn-Thor once again disappeared, reappearing beside Shye a second and a half later.

Shockingly, the sinister old dog didn’t even use his [Dash Lv.5] skill this time as his normal charging speed was enough for it to almost have the same effects as the dash skill.

Still, Shye was able to react, swiftly raising his greatswords and forming an X to effectively block the ripped old dog’s downward slash.

This time, Conn-Thor and Shye achieved their desired outcome: Shye staggered backward, overwhelmed by the force of the old dog’s attack.

“Hahaha! What now, kid? You better think fast, otherwise, I’ll separate your head and your spine from your body in the next few moments!” the bandit boss mocked, looking extremely demonic as he smiled crazily at Shye.

“Heh, delusional old dog, you think you’re the only one who can transform? Fine then, I’ll show you how insignificant you are.”
