Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

"So strong!"

The officers and Adventurers who had finally rushed over from nearby to provide support were stunned, a group that even included Joel, the Guard Commander.

As the Guard Commander of Silver Stream City, his strength was naturally considerable; he was just a step away from reaching Senior Level.

He figured that even if it had been him, it would have taken about the same amount of time to kill this Giant Goblin.

But when he got a clear look at Lin Mo, especially the Mage Robe he was wearing, realization dawned.

’So it’s him...’

’That explains it.’

Ever since the last operation in the Caves, the story of Lin Mo’s deeds had spread completely throughout the officer class.

Everyone knew that Silver Stream City now had a super genius in its midst, and they even knew a little bit of the gossip concerning this genius and Miss Feney, the City Lord’s daughter.

It seemed his strength had improved a great deal since then, especially compared to Torren’s description of him during the Cave operation.

’Is this the world of a genius?’

Even though he was a steady middle-aged man, Joel couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"Thank you for stepping in. You saved my men."

He strode forward and exchanged a brief greeting with Lin Mo.

"It was nothing."

Lin Mo nodded. The two men met each other’s gaze, then separated with a tacit understanding, each heading in a different direction.

The war was still raging, and the situation was tense. There was no time for idle chat.

If Lin Mo remembered correctly, the investigation Vick, the president of the Silver Stream City Adventurer’s Association, had conducted in the Core Area of the Loran Forest had yielded grim results. The number of Goblins with a Threat Level of 4 was over a hundred, and there were even twenty to thirty at Level 5.

And that definitely wasn’t all of them. For instance, in the Caves they had gone to rescue people from earlier, they had encountered Level 4 and Level 5 Goblins.

Who knew how many more such unexposed Caves existed. If you added them all together, the Goblins’ numbers in terms of mid-to-high-tier Combat Power could be said to completely overwhelm Silver Stream City.

However, when it came to top-tier Combat Power, Silver Stream City should still have the advantage in numbers.

This gave Lin Mo a profound understanding of just how terrifying a race like the Goblins could be once they were allowed to develop.

In this current Goblin disaster, their highest tier of Combat Power was composed of Level 4 and Level 5 Goblins. But if they were given a little more time and a few more resources, it was entirely possible that this would shift to Level 6, Level 7, or even higher!

As their bloodlines were continuously optimized and advanced, the number of Type II Goblins grew, and the average strength of the entire Goblin population was constantly on the rise.

Once they had propagated enough for these evolved bloodlines to become widespread, or even the norm, the Goblins would be able to mass-produce powerful individuals—a heaven-defying feat—and eventually establish a mighty Goblin Kingdom.

All he could say was that it was a good thing they had discovered the Secret Realm in time. Otherwise, if the Goblins had been allowed to develop for a while longer, Silver Stream City would have been nearly impossible to defend...

Just as the intel had suggested, Bronze Goblins and Giant Goblins were still pouring onto the battlefield.

And Lin Mo’s main targets were, naturally, these higher-Level opponents.

Of course, the Goblins were densely packed on the main front, so when he had a spare moment, it was also necessary to toss out a few AoE Skills and grind some Skill Level.

Lin Mo casually threw out a [Blizzard]. In an instant, countless hailstones fell, clearing out the vast majority of Goblins within the area of effect.

Only one gray-skinned creature was left. It had been lucky, positioned near the edge, so it barely managed to escape the Blizzard’s range.

Lin Mo immediately moved forward and thrust with his Sword, easily killing the Level 3.5 Bronze Goblin.

[Blizzard] Skill Level +63

[Continuous Thrust] Skill Level +23

’Right, there’s also this Skill...’

With a thought from Lin Mo, the [Shadow Splitting] Skill activated. His shadow instantly rose and transformed into a Clone.

The next moment, the Clone charged deeper into the battlefield before them.

On a massive battlefield like this, the [Shadow Splitting] Skill was extremely useful. After all, no matter how strong Lin Mo was, he could only deal with Goblins in one place at a time. But now, with an extra Clone, he could split his forces and handle problems in two places at once.

His [Shadow Splitting] Skill had already reached Level Four, and the Clone inherited 65% of his base Attributes. This was equivalent to a helper with roughly 45 Strength, 52 Agility, and nearly 34 Constitution.

Even without the ability to use Skills, its overall strength completely surpassed that of a typical Level 4 Professional, making it easy to deal with Giant Goblins around Level 4.

Soon, Lin Mo’s Clone encountered a Giant Goblin. These creatures were huge and conspicuous, making them quite easy to spot, even in the dark of night.

The Giant Goblin was swinging a massive Iron Axe as it charged to the front line, trampling dozens of its own kind underfoot along the way.

However, the Goblin side clearly didn’t care about such losses. After the behemoth reached the human soldiers, it took just two swings of its axe to claim the lives of nearly ten men.

The human side’s lack of experts was proving to be a fatal weakness at this moment.

There were very few people who could handle this beast, and with many similar situations occurring elsewhere, no one was free to help.

If they waited until the crises elsewhere were dealt with before rushing over, this part of the front line would likely have suffered disastrous losses—it might even have been broken through completely.
