An hour later, in Zanga Marsh.

Zanga Marsh, located to the west of Orleans City, is the territory of marsh creatures like the [Marsh Hydra] and [Marsh Giant Crocodile].

A year-round haze of green fog hangs above the marsh, almost blotting out the sun from the view of those inside.

As for underneath the marsh.

There were many roars of [Hydras] echoing from the marshes earlier, but they gradually subsided alongside the sounds of sword clashes and magical explosions.

Through the green haze, one could just barely see the bodies of Hydras, dead and yet to respawn.

Of course, these Hydra corpses were the handiwork of Su Yu and Tina.

Currently, Su Yu was sitting atop the largest Hydra’s corpse, looking utterly exhausted.

This Hydra was indeed the [Marsh Hydra Boss] required for the quest; a Level 12 rare-quality boss.

Based on Su Yu’s proficiency at grinding down the Wolf King in the novice village, and with Tina’s assistance, defeating a boss of this level should have been a piece of cake.

However, once they actually engaged in battle, they found this boss to be quite a tough nut to crack.

First, this boss could attack from a distance; its three heads could spew toxins, flames, and frost, and they were all area-of-effect spells.

Dealing with melee bosses like the Wolf King was easy for Su Yu, but when up against ranged bosses, he could only put up the [Lightning Shield], tank the hits, use the Flash Skill to move quickly, or rely on his moving speed and prediction to avoid the hits when out of other options.

And if the fight dragged on long enough, the [Marsh Hydra Boss] would enter the [Berserk State], with at least a 60% increase in attack speed and casting speed, its three heads shooting spells like a magical machine gun!

So after slaying the [Marsh Hydra Boss], Su Yu was so tired he just sat atop the boss’s corpse, even considering taking a nap right there.

However, Su Yu’s efforts were not in vain as the boss dropped five items:

Chainmail [Bone Chain Leggings (Rare) Iv12], Plate Armor [Cast Iron Headdress (Rare) Iv12], Skill Scroll [Rain of Fire (Superior)], Skill Scroll [Berserk Recovery (Superior)], and [Marsh Hydra’s Poison Sac (Rare)] x1.

[Berserk Recovery] is a Druid skill in bear form, which uses rage to recover 30% of total health.

The only item useful for Su Yu was the Skill Scroll of [Rain of Fire].

Without much thought, Su Yu directly chose to learn it, upgrading it to epic quality.

[Rain of Fire (Rare)]: Meteorites of fire fall from the sky, causing 360% spell damage to all enemies in the target area (8-meter radius) within 3 seconds, and put the enemies in [Burning] status for 3 seconds. Casting time of 1 second, cooldown of 8 seconds, consumes 40 Mana Points.

“Ding. Please choose the enhancement direction of [Rain of Fire]: 1. [Wildfire]: Duration increased by 30%; 2. [Quick Cool Down]: Cool Down reduced by 2 seconds.”

“Choose …1.”

The enhancement directions for [Rain of Fire] were pretty much the same, but considering that his AoE spells would increase in the future, Su Yu chose to prioritize increasing damage.

After learning [Rain of Fire], Su Yu’s AoE damage capabilities improved significantly!

Previously, his only AoE spell was [Flash Chain]. Now, with the combination of [Flash Chain] and [Rain of Fire], his offensive capabilities were noticeably stronger.

The [Marsh Hydra Boss] was covered with immense scales that felt somewhat like snake scales – soft and slippery to the touch.

After a period of rest sitting on the scales, Su Yu looked down at Tina. “Tina, did you get injured and bleed during the fight just now?”

“No, why do you ask?”

“Never mind.”

Su Yu jumped off the corpse of the [Marsh Hydra Boss], kicking its body harshly a few times.

What a useless thing!

He had originally been hoping to collect some [Blood of Tina] from this fight, but that plan was now spoiled.

“Now that this monster is taken care of, what do you plan to do?”

Su Yu looked at Tina.

Tina was also rather worn out from the battle and had been resting on the ground for a while.

Hearing Su Yu’s words, Tina mustered her strength to stand up. “Of course, I want to collect its vital blood. My talent allows me to absorb vital blood from monsters to enhance my abilities, but it only works if I’m the one to kill them.”

Tina held her sword to her chest, beginning to accumulate her wrath.

A pale golden wrath overflowed from within her, surrounding her. She now seemed like a “miniature golden figure”.

With a deep breath, she executed a powerful slash!

The weapon blade shone with a golden glow.

Crack!

The hydra chieftain’s head separated from its neck effortlessly.

A massive amount of dark green blood spurted out from the corpse, covering Tina entirely.

Tina could have avoided it, but she chose not to.

As soon as the dark green blood came into contact with her body, it permeated directly into her.

At the same time, the pale golden wrath around Tina became thicker and thicker.

Boom!

The pale golden wrath exploded open when it reached a certain concentration, as bright as the sun, hurting anyone who tried to look at it.

Su Yu immediately activated [Insight] to look at Tina’s current state.

Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 16

Occupation: Warrior

Hobby: Fawning over cats, sweets.

“Tina actually jumped from level 10 to 16? Is this the power of her bloodline?” Su Yu exclaimed in surprise.

And Tina didn’t stop there.

She took out the vital blood she had collected from other hydras from a backpack lying nearby and poured it directly onto herself.

A vast amount of blood was absorbed, and Tina’s level skyrocketed!

When she had absorbed all the blood in her backpack, Su Yu used [Insight] on her again. Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 20

Occupation: Warrior

Hobby: Fawning over cats, sweets, blood absorption.

She was now at level 20!

“Nemesis, my strength has greatly increased! I believe I’ll be able to reach the second tier in no time!”

Filled with her burgeoning wrath, Tina was ecstatic.

“Congratulations.” Su Yu congratulated her, his tone somewhat sour: “Ah, I wish I could also increase my strength as quickly as you!”

No wonder she’s the first installment’s heroine, her leveling is fast!

If the Blue Star Humans could also level up as fast as Tina, the Skuru might have to start worrying.

“Hmm…..” Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Tina tapped her chin with the index finger of her right hand, looking thoughtful:

“I might actually know a way to help you quickly increase your strength. It’s a type of power called [Bloodline Connection]. Of course, it’s nowhere near as fast as me, but it might help a little.”

That’s when Su Yu received a system prompt:

“Ding! Detecting that [Tina Garcia]’s favorability towards you is greater than 20 points, you can initiate [Prepaid Quest Rewards].”

“Ding! [Tina Garcia] prepaids the fifth round reward of the main plot of [Saintess of Orleans City] to you: [Bloodline Connection (One Hour)]. Do you accept?”

[Bloodline Connection]: During the duration, you will receive 10% of the Experience Points gained by [Tina Garcia]..
