Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing - Chapter 12
Chapter 11: Direct Confrontation With The Boss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Undead Knights had come to the front. Xue Linglong glanced at the teachers and students hiding in the corner, grit her teeth, and stretched out her long leg to kick the wall. Her body then folded back on itself. With a clever feint, she dodged a spear, which almost cut her face.
“Great awareness!” Link looked at her, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes. 3
Xue Linglong had yet to gain enough battle experience at this time. The fact that she had such spot-on spontaneous reactions was proof that she was extremely talented. Moreover, she chose to stay with the teachers and students.
This kind of behavior seemed a little stupid to Link. If it were him, he would definitely not stay. However, he had to admit that she was adorably stupid. At least, he couldn’t bring himself to dislike her. 3
…
Pant!
Xue Linglong returned to the crowd, panting heavily. Her hair was stuck to her forehead with sweat, and she looked quite bedraggled. She looked at the people around her. Her mind whirled, thinking about how to get out.
“They… they are attacking again. Classmate, hurry up and stop them!” Lin Jian suddenly screamed. He rushed to Xue Linglong and shoved her frantically, trying to get her to stand out and face the Undead Knights. However, with his physique, how could he move Xue Linglong, an awakened Extreme Ice Combat Maiden? 1
Instead, he staggered and almost fell.
Xue Linglong glanced at him with disgust. Others might not have noticed when Lin Jian pushed the security supervisor out earlier, but she saw it all. She had already labeled Lin Jian as a shameless villain; there was no way she would listen to him. In actual fact, this group of Undead Knights was rushing towards her whether she wanted them to or not.
The crowd dissolved into chaos. They fled, trampling everything.
More than 20 lives were lost again. Everyone was completely exhausted. They were unlikely to survive the next charge! 1
At this moment, the Undead Knights’ neat ranks suddenly separated.
The Undead Knight Commander appeared on its mount. It pointed its spear—which was thicker than the spears usually carried by Undead Knights—forward.
Rumble!
The skeleton horse raised its front hooves high and let them fall heavily.
The hooves’ huge impact caused cracks to spread outward like fine cobwebs on the floor. It looked as if the floor was about to collapse.
The Undead Knight Commander didn’t want to play any longer; it intended to end the battle!
“Ah—”
“I don’t want to die… don’t want to die…”
“Help… who will save us!”
“Mother…”
Xue Linglong’s heart tightened, and her pupils constricted suddenly. The thought of impending death filled her mind.
The Undead Knight Commander turned into a black shadow and darted forward. It was an unstoppable and terrifying force. Even the air crackled.
The sharp spear was pointed directly at Xue Linglong’s head.
Xue Linglong had no time to do anything else. All she could do was raise her right arm—where blue energy coalesced—in front of her and lowered her head. After that, she felt despair.
In her heart, she knew that this little bit of energy was simply not enough to resist the Undead Knight Commander’s attack. Her actions were merely a conditioned reflex.
…
She was prepared for excruciating pain and even death. However, for some reason, the expected attack didn’t happen. Instead, a very pleasant sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated.
She raised her head. A figure blocked the light in front of her. The figure was not tall. Rather, it was a bit thin. However, in the eyes of Xue Linglong, it was very impressive! 1
“You should be the highest-ranked monster in this school…” Link looked at the Undead Knight Commander in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
The Undead Knight Commander looked at the human who had appeared in front of it in astonishment. Its anger then surged, and the strength in its hands increased substantially. It wanted to crush the tiny insignificant human being with its brute strength. However, it didn’t expect that the young man’s arm, which held the long sword, would not waver at all.
This human… actually had power that was on par with its own! How was it possible? 1
…
At this moment, the large conference room was extremely quiet.
Everyone stared at the scene before them blankly. Subconsciously, they gulped. Everyone knew how powerful the Undead Knights were. Just now, even Yan Lanxi and Xue Linglong, two very powerful people, barely managed to survive the Undead Knights’ attacks.
Not to mention, the Undead Knight in front of them was clearly stronger than the others that had come before. But why… was this young man—who had appeared from nowhere—able to block its full-powered blow so easily?
“Link… is that you?” A sweet female voice came from the crowd behind him. 1
Link turned his head and saw a beautiful but dusty face.
Qiao Ruowei, Ling Ge’s class monitor, and also the school belle! She was also one of the commended people in Dragon City No. 1 Middle School’s commendation ceremony. She was extremely bright and beautiful, the recipient of admiring and envious looks. However, Doomsday came so suddenly and unexpectedly that she almost died.
“It’s really you!” A surprised smile appeared on Qiao Ruowei’s face. It was as if she had met her savior. “Are you here to save me?” She bit her lip lightly. If it were some other less dangerous time, the lip biting would be very attractive. However, her face was currently all dirty!
Link ignored her. Actually, the two of them were not close. God knew why the woman had developed such an unrealistic delusion. Instead, he glanced at Xue Linglong—who was squatting behind him—and quietly asked, “Can you still stand up?”
Xue Linglong was slightly startled. She stood up and walked to Link’s side, then posed as if she was ready to fight. “Yes!”
Link sneered instead, “If you can stand up, move away, Don’t affect my performance!” 9
Xue Linglong was startled. Silently, she wondered if Link was going to face the terrifying monster alone? She was about to say something, but she swallowed her words and quietly retreated into the crowd upon seeing Link’s completely indifferent eyes.
“Do you know Link?” A voice sounded next to her ear.
She turned her head and saw that it was Qiao Ruowei. Immediately, she shook her head. “No. I only know his name!”
When Qiao Ruowei heard this, she subconsciously checked out Xue Linglong’s body. Her eyes flashed with unconvinced anger before she fell silent. 9
…
Roar!
The Undead Knight Commander roared angrily and raised its spear high. The black air swirled around the spear blade like a small tornado. The Undead Knight Commander charged at Link, aiming straight for his chest. 1
The corners of Link’s mouth curved up slightly. Holding [Red Sky], he stepped forward to meet the Undead Knight Commander head-on. 2
The next moment, [Red Sky]’s aura burst out, entangling with the black energy. 1
In the laboratory building opposite, Luo Xingyao and the other person stared intently at the battle in the conference room. They were utterly shocked.
“My god… Where is that crazy guy from? He actually clashed head-on with that guy?” The muscular man licked his dry lips, disbelief apparent on his face.
They knew too well just how powerful Undead Knights were. They were something they had no hope of winning against. Furthermore, the one that Link was fighting against was clearly not an ordinary Undead Knight. Just looking at the amount of power in its movements and gestures were enough to make one’s scalp go numb.
But Link… was actually holding his own?

Chapter 12: Holy Charge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“So strong…” Luo Xingyao’s breathing quickened, and strong yearning and pursuit flashed in her eyes. That was the kind of power she wanted! 4
Dang!
The weapons clashed, and the powerful impact caused the skeleton horse beneath the Undead Knight to be pushed back a few steps.
On the other hand, Link didn’t move at all. His smile was still the same as before, insipid as ever.
“ROAR… die!”
The [Soul Fire] in the Undead Knight Commander’s eyes expanded crazily, and it actually spoke. With a violent roar, it controlled its mount to charge towards Link with all of their might.
A mist of death surrounded its body. It was like a piece of a pitch-black sharp sword. It was also like a large hammer as it charged toward Link with a seemingly unstoppable force.
Suddenly, the entire conference room—which was already insufficiently ventilated—echoed with a roaring noise that sounded like a ghost crying as the air was compressed by this terrifying force.
Death Charge!
The Undead Knight Commander’s exclusive skill! 2
Link’s mouth curled up slightly. He changed his single-handed grip on the sword into a two-handed grip, holding the sword in front of his chest vertically. 1
[Red Sky]’s sword body suddenly shone brightly, and thousands of tiny runes lit up at the same time. The surrounding temperature suddenly increased by several-fold, and even the air began distorting. 1
In Link’s eyes, an endless sea of fire could be faintly seen.
“Red Sky God Flame!”
Swoosh!
Holding the sword in front of him, Link swung it downwards, creating a scarlet wave of sword energy that cut across the air.
The sword energy rubbed against the air and actually transformed into a raging fire in the next instant, growing. It spread at a mad speed, swallowing up the entire space in front of him.
Everyone turned their heads away subconsciously, afraid to look.
The light was so dazzling, and the temperature was so high that it even seemed to burn their sight.
“Ah—”
Ghastly howls resounded through the sky as if they were ghosts enduring endless torment in hell like in the legends, causing those who heard these howls to be frightened!
In the laboratory building opposite, Luo Xingyao and her friend became even more shocked. They could see more from their vantage point.
The sea of flame formed by Link’s sword directly swallowed most of the teaching building’s fifth floor; it also almost instantly turned the walls in the direction the sword pointed toward into ashes!
The reinforced concrete had no room for resistance under this terrifying flame.
The man beside Luo Xingyao swallowed and said uncertainly, “Is he… a Sword Immortal?”
“Maybe…” The light in Luo Xingyao’s eyes flickered.
In their cognition, the power that Link exhibited had completely exceeded the scope of humanity’s capabilities.
…
“Is it over?”
“Are we saved?”
“Great!”
In the dilapidated conference room, the survivors hugged and wept, their faces filled with joy from surviving the disaster.
The female students stared at Link’s back with bright eyes full of gratitude and yearning as if they were looking at a great hero in a fairy tale who saved the world. 5
Unbeknownst to them, Link wasn’t interested in them at all. On one hand, he saved them because he didn’t want Yang Xuerou to be sad. On the other hand, it was because Xue Linglong’s talent and character were both not bad. 3
As for the others, he saved them because they were on the way, that’s all! 1
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight +1. Gained experience +100!]
[Ding! Detected that you have killed a unit with a higher level than you! Awarded bonus experience +100%!]
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight +1. Gained experience +100!]
…
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight Commander +1. Gained experience +300!]
[Ding! Detected that you have killed a unit with a higher level than you! Awarded bonus experience +100%!]
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching Stage One, Level 5!]
A series of notifications sounded in Link’s ears. 3
Not only did this move—[Red Sky God Flame]—kill the Undead Knight Commander just now, but the nine Undead Knights behind it also failed to escape.
Link’s mouth curled up slightly, and he placed the sword back into the scabbard as his eyes scanned the ruins in front of him. 3
Two flashing lights appeared at the spot where the Undead Knight Commander died!
Link walked up and picked them up, finding a skill book and a black spear.
[Death Charge] (Silver): Skill book. After learning, you can cast Death Charge. Gather all the strength and charge forward a certain distance. During the charge, become immune to all control skills and 40% of the frontal damage. Hitting the target can cause a lot of damage, knockback effect, and stun effect. Cooldown time: 30 seconds! 3
[Undead Spear] (Silver): Weapon. Condensed from the mists of death in the abyss. It has a decent lethality. The wounds inflicted by this weapon can apply corrosion effect and weakening effect to the opponent.
“As expected of a boss-level monster! The drop rate is quite high!” Link was quite surprised because the monster drop rates were quite low in [Doomsday Online]. Just now, Link cleared the dark creatures in the entire teaching building, but not a single thing dropped.
Now, two drops appeared together. This was really quite a surprise. Also, it was quite rare for two Silver-grade items to drop from a low stage monster. Of course, items with such a grade were still too low for Link. 2
Let’s bless the skill book first! Thinking this, Link directly used Supreme Blessing on the [Death Charge] skill book!
Buzz!
The next moment, the skill book in his hand quickly turned its pages.
Dots of light appeared out of nowhere, gathering together and forming a ball of light as they slowly fused with this skill book’s every page.
Gradually, Link clearly saw the words on the cover page being erased. Other large, golden words then replaced them—Holy Charge!
[Holy Charge] (Legend)
Description: The exclusive ability of the legendary paladins who guard the light. 1
Effect: Charge in the specified direction, accumulating power on the way, and cause 250% area-of-effect damage in a small area upon hitting the target! 3
Additional: Apply additional knock-up, stun, and silence effects to target for 5 seconds. 10
Additional: Immunity to all control and damage during the charge for 3 seconds.
Cooldown time: 30 seconds. 3
Tsk tsk!
High strength-attribute damage bonus with multiple control effects. It also granted immunity to control and short-term invincibility. This was really an incredible skill for close combat.
Just this skill alone was enough to double the combat power of any [Doomsday Online] player.
For those professions that focused on the strength attribute, this skill would increase their combat power even more.
For Link, with his current high strength attribute, he would be able to dominate all existences in the same stage once he learned this skill!
Without question, Link directly chose to learn this skill. Therefore, a golden skill icon appeared in his skill list. 3

Very good, very powerful!
The Supreme Blessing skill had a three-minute cooldown time, so Link had to wait a while before he could bless [Undead Spear]. 1
Link turned around and looked toward the survivors. Lastly, his eyes landed on the principal—Lin Jian—and his mouth curled into an inexplicable smile. 2
Seeing this, Lin Jian instantly walked out and smilingly said, “Student, you are really a young hero! I actually didn’t know that our school has a highly-skilled person like you. I haven’t been doing my job as a principal well!”
“Student, you have done a meritorious service by saving us! Once this matter is over, I will definitely submit a request to the provincial minister to give you a certificate of outstanding student and a sum of monetary reward. How does this sound?” 1
Hearing this, Link squinted his eyes slightly, gradually moving closer to the principal. He insipidly said, “You are too courteous, but I don’t want any of those things!”
After he said this, Lin Jian’s pupils suddenly shrank.
