Maxed Out My Passive Skill Due to My Laziness Novel - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: The Once Again Eliminated Epic Guild

No one would reject a mission.

Occam and the other two directly accepted the mission.

However, this mission had a time limit.

To find this Mage within three days.

This was because Balter and his group had issued a military order. They only had three days.

However, the three of them did not care.

In any case, it would not be a loss if he could not complete it, even if he might offend these NPCs.

Of course, it would be best if he could complete it.

The rewards for missions were usually not bad.

Balter’s face lit up when the three accepted the task. He handed Jeff the portrait of the Mage.

“I’ll leave this matter to the three of you!”

With that said, he led the soldiers behind him out.

After watching them leave, Annie waved her fists at Occam and his wife.

“We must capture this Mage.”

Then, she opened the forum.

She posted a post.

“The murderer of the unsolved case has been found.”

Then, he put a screenshot of the Mage’s portrait in the post.

Annie wanted to use the players’ power to find the Mage.

It was a smart move.

The gamers were a bunch of energetic creatures.

Especially in a world with such a high degree of freedom, they liked to explore everywhere.

Some players might have seen the Mage.

Indeed.

Not long after, Annie let out a soft cry.

“Ah, someone saw that Mage.”

“Right here in the Scarlet Plain.”

“Let’s hurry over.”

Then, the three of them rushed towards the Scarlet Plain.

…

On the other hand, the Demon Hunter looked at a player beside him.

“Has everything been arranged?”

“It’s been arranged. They’re on their way to the Scarlet Plain,” said the man.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter laughed coldly.

“Linley, this time, you must die. Even that piece of God-grade equipment of yours must be dropped!”

That was right, the three of them headed towards the Scarlet Plain. It was a trap that the Demon Hunters had set up.

Not long ago, the Demon Hunters had reported to the upper echelons of the Epic Guild that Linley might have a piece of God-grade equipment.

And then, he proposed to borrow the piece of God-grade equipment used by Priests to kill Linley and acquire his piece of God-grade equipment.

After a discussion, the leadership of the Epic Guild agreed to his request.

Then, the Demon Hunter saw Annie’s post on the forum.

He had investigated Linley and knew of the relationship between Annie and Linley.

He told his men to tell Annie about the appearance of the Mage in the Scarlet Plain.

Afterwards, he received news that Linley and the others were heading to the Scarlet Plain.

“It’s a pity that you won’t expect the Epic Guild to be waiting for you.”

The Demon Hunter stood atop a boulder, staring intently at the distant Twilight Forest, even more eager for Linley’s arrival.

He waited for about 30 minutes.

The Demon Hunter saw three blurry figures.

Based on the information from the assassins who were following Linley, they were Linley’s group.

He immediately hid behind the stone in case Linley’s group discovered him.

“Is the Mage really here?”

“It doesn’t look like it.”

Hearing the voices, the Demon Hunter grinned.

The fish had taken the bait. It was time to reel in the net.

The next moment, dozens of players from the Epic Guild suddenly appeared and surrounded the three people in front.

The Demon Hunter walked to the front, and his sinister voice sounded.

“Linley, as I said before, hand over the piece of God-grade equipment in your hands.”

“The grudge between us is settled. You can still join the Epic Guild. Otherwise, I’ll kill you every time I see you!”

Occam sat on the spirit deer, resigned.

Why did these people have no memory at all?

“If you want to fight, do it now. Cut the crap. We have things to do.”

“You’re here to find the Mage, aren’t you? That’s what we told you.”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter laughed coldly.

“For the sake of dealing with me, you bunch are truly boring.”

Occam really felt helpless.

These people were really like flies.

You could beat them to death at will, but you could not help it when they kept popping up to disgust you.

“It seems you have no intention of surrendering. In that case, I will first kill your two teammates and then deal with you properly.”

“Attack!”

Following the Demon Hunter’s command, a few players appeared out of nowhere in the surrounding space.

They were the Assassin players.

As soon as they appeared, they launched their skills at Annie and Jeff.

However, because the three of them were in a team.

Passive “Sacrifice” activated instantly.

Every 5 seconds, 100% damage was dealt to enemy units within a 100-meter radius.

Occam’s HP was close to 40,000.

Almost 70,000 damage was dealt instantly.

-3425

-3124

-3546

…

The HP of the assassins were instantly depleted and they returned to the city for free.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Hunter’s face turned ashen.

However, when he saw the Priest player beside him, his expression softened.

“Linley, don’t think that you are the only one with a piece of God-grade equipment.”

“So do we.”

Then, he signaled for the Priest players to use their God-grade equipment.

The Priest player looked excited and waved his staff.

In the next moment, the staff emitted a blue light that covered Linley’s body.

This was the skill of the staff, Enfeeble.

It’s skill was to reduce the enemy’s attributes by 50% for 10 seconds.

Demon Hunters believed that no matter how powerful Linley’s attributes were, as long as he was hit by this technique, he would definitely experience a huge decline.

He shouted.

“Now!”

“Don’t waste time, finish them in ten seconds!”

All of a sudden, an overwhelming wave of attacks enveloped the trio.

Occam looked at his status bar and saw that his attributes had dropped by half.

But Occam did not rely on these to fight monsters and kill.

He had relied on his passive skills!

Thus, his passive skills were triggered instantly.

“Ding! You have been attacked by the player “Little Ding Dong”. You have triggered the passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”

“Ding, you have been attacked by player “Steve”. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”

“Ding… activated passive “Sacrifice” (Effect: Deals 100% damage to enemy units within a 100-meter radius every 5 seconds).”

-1548

-1574

-5134

…

Numbers representing damage floated amongst the crowd.

“Ding… you have killed a player!”

…

Occam changed the settings to prioritize attacking players.

Then.

“Ding… activated passive “Sacrifice” (Effect: Deals 100% damage to enemy units within a 100-meter radius every 5 seconds).”

He had almost 70,000 damage and was unstoppable.
