章 98: Hunter 98: The Healer
The power of a small grenade launcher is truly impressive. Lin Jiu glanced at the barrel of the blazing [Flame Sun] and put it away. He had brought four clips of ammunition, and by now, he had already used up two of them.
"Be careful!"
Lin Jiu kept his eyes on the ruins in front of him. During the explosions, the castle was filled with screams, likely from the vampires Kars had created, who were being blown to pieces.
Caesar nodded. They had already seen several vampires turn to ash in the sunlight, and some might have died in the recent chain of explosions. However, there could still be survivors hiding beneath the rubble.
Lin Jiu was certain that the explosions hadn't killed Kars. That meant Kars was likely beneath the ruins. But why hadn't he used the Red Stone of Aja to evolve into an ultimate lifeform and face the sunlight? This puzzled Lin Jiu.
They waited there, even as JoJo and Lisa Lisa arrived, but still, there was no sign of Kars.
"What happened?"
JoJo exclaimed dramatically as he took in the scene before him. They also realized what Lin Jiu had meant by solving problems his way.
Caesar explained the situation to them, and though everyone looked serious, no one blamed Lin Jiu. No one could have anticipated Wamuu being there, and no one could have done better than Lin Jiu.
"Kars escaped! How could that be?"
Lin Jiu wondered aloud. After waiting for a long time, he concluded that Kars had indeed fled. Kars controlled the power of light, which was different from Wamuu's wind. This refraction and invisibility technique made it difficult for Lin Jiu to detect him immediately.
"What should we do now?"
Caesar asked.
"Let's go to the Roman Colosseum ruins... Kars will come for revenge for Wamuu and the others."
Lin Jiu's decision was met with agreement by everyone. Regardless of what happened, they had to face Kars in battle.
What Lin Jiu didn't know was that Kars had taken the Red Stone of Aja because the Stone Mask in his possession had been damaged in the chain of explosions from the [Flame Sun] launcher and could no longer be used. He had to leave to create a new Stone Mask before he could evolve.
The group remained vigilant as Linda cautiously approached Lisa Lisa, while Lin Jiu, holding [Dawn Shadow], leaned against a broken stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.
Caesar, holding binoculars, stood at the highest point of the Roman Colosseum ruins, keeping a lookout.
"Caesar! According to Red, Kars controls the power of light. If he wants to hide, he'll be invisible to the naked eye, right?"
JoJo shouted up at Caesar from the ground below.
"I know, but just in case!"
Caesar's headband fluttered in the wind.
Lin Jiu, holding [Dawn Shadow], leaned against the wall, contemplating the situation ahead.
After his evolution, Kars would possess the ability to transform into anything, perhaps even surpassing the original version. He even claimed that no force on Earth could kill him.
In reality, he was just bragging. If no force could kill him, why didn't he take a swim in lava to scare JoJo? The truth is, lava could still kill Kars. He barely managed to survive for a few minutes in it and was severely injured during that time.
However, his physical speed and strength hadn't significantly improved compared to his Pillar Men form. Kars's ultimate evolution focused on enhancing his vitality.
To deal with such an enemy, true damage and soul damage were the ultimate answers. As long as Lisa Lisa and the others created enough opportunities for him to attack, Lin Jiu could take down this ultimate lifeform.
"Based on our calculations, we have almost no chance of winning against Kars after his evolution."
Lisa Lisa said worriedly.
However, Stroheim, who had arrived with a group of German soldiers to support them, was full of confidence.
"No matter what creature he evolves into, he's no match for our steel technology!"
Hearing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but open his eyes slightly and glance at Stroheim. It seemed that because of Lin Jiu's intervention, Stroheim hadn't suffered much at the hands of the Pillar Men and had become a bit arrogant.
He decided that Stroheim would take the lead in the upcoming battle. After all, the guy was an immortal cyborg.
Lin Jiu waved Linda over, and she nervously approached him.
"How good are your healing abilities?"
Lin Jiu tried not to stare at Linda, so as not to put too much pressure on her.
After a moment's hesitation, Linda showed Lin Jiu part of her information panel.

...
It seemed Linda was trying to prove her value to Lin Jiu. She also revealed the details of the staff she held, since she couldn't fight back anyway, there was no point in hiding anything.

[Description: The eyes of the deer hold a sky full of stars, sparkling brightly, with a clear forest stream running through them. It quietly approaches you, waiting for your response in the gentlest way. From the depths of the forest, the elves protect your beauty.]
...
Lin Jiu found the description of the staff's skills quite interesting. It seemed to be a template experience card for a Class. This Healer Class, judging by the skill description, was a powerful support role.
The [Heart of Healing] skill appeared to be a core passive skill for the Healer Class.
After reviewing Linda's displayed information, Lin Jiu was quite satisfied. Among first-rank contractors, she was already strong support, showing the impressive strength of the Evergreen Squad.
Lin Jiu felt even more convinced that his decision to have them leave this derivative world earlier had been the right one. Contracts could only restrict a person's actions, not their hearts. Who knows what changes their presence might bring?
Not only for Lin Jiu but for all contractors, the single-player mode was always the most stable situation. The more contractors present, the harder it became to control the situation. The best strategy in such cases was to become stronger and stronger, to the point where you could calmly handle any situation.
