Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Wizard’s Curse

“This guy finally completed his mission. With him now, things will be easier. Let’s gather our strength and continue in deeper.” Lin Jie sent a message to Gray Wind, asking him to hurry teleport to the dungeon’s entrance.

“Give way to me. It’s time for the Godly Hand to search the corpse.” Zheng Ziliang rubbed his palms and said loudly, “Come, tell me what equipment you want. I’ll get it for you.”

“Give me a Sub-Legendary staff,” said Domestic Fat Cattle seriously.

“I want a set of Priest equipment. Dark Gold is enough.”

“Buddy… please give me a set of Elemental Sword Artist’s equipment.”

Everybody said what they wanted to obtain.

Bu Yi smiled and said, “You better get everybody the set they want. Otherwise, you won’t be able to live up to the name of the Godly Hand.”

“Hehe, okay.” Zheng Ziliang rubbed his hands and stretched them out to touch the corpse. There were clinks and clanks as the items began to appear. There seemed to be quite a number of equipment!

Everybody was stunned.

There was really a set of equipment. One complete set!

—”[Elementary Believer’s Robe] (Bronze) is added to your inventory.”

—”[Elemental Believer’s Shoes] (Bronze) is added to your inventory.”

—”Elemental Believer’s Hat] (Bronze) is added to your inventory.”

—”[Elemental Believer’s Staff] (Bronze) is added to your inventory.”

…

“Wow, such lucky hands…” Lin Jie pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. This was the Hero-Level Guardian Eller. Even if there wasn’t an Epic item, there should be at least four to five pieces of Dark Gold equipment…

‘You rascal actually got us a set of Bronze equipment? This rascal was lucky all his life, why is he so unlucky now?’

Zheng Ziliang hung his head in shame. “Thanks for the praise…”

Luckily, there was a shield that was dropped on top of the Bronze Set that eased the wounded hearts of everybody.

[Guardian Eller’s Faithful Heavy Shield] (Dark Gold Fragment, Two-Handed Heavy Shield)

Requires: Level 40

Defense: 424-623

Strength: +12

Endurance: +50

Health Points: +500

Parry: +10%, Block: +10%

Additional effect: After you block 5 attacks consecutively, you will recover 2% of health.

Additional effect: Every time you block an attack successfully, there is a chance of reflecting an additional 10% damage. It can stack up to 50%.

Special skill: [Beliver’s Protection], Your block rate increases to 100% for 1 second. Cooldown time of 10 minutes.

Note: Guardian Eller’s Faithful Heavy Shield is not a complete Dark Gold weapon. You have to collect Guardian Eller’s Faithful Spike and Guardian Eller’s Faithful Assault Imprint to complete this Dark Gold weapon and unleash its full potential.

A Shield Specialist’s equipment was the most valuable and rarest of them all. There was even a saying, “Ten pieces of rare weapons would not be enough to exchange for a piece of good shield”. Shield Specialists were the core of a team. Getting this shield was even better than getting ten other items.

Mixed Breathless compared the shield to the one he was using and shook his head. “The shield I have is a set with the rest of my equipment. The extra stats from the Dark Gold shield is not as good as the attributes I get from a complete set. We should give it to Old Shield.”

The Heavenly Shield wiped the saliva from the corner of his lips. He said seriously, “I think a Dark Gold shield would be better on Breathless.”

Seeing that both of them were being courteous, Lin Jie spoke up. “The other two fragments of this shield are not meant for Defense. This means that the defensive ability of this shield is not that high. Old Shield, you should take it first. You can pass the shield you have now to the Shield Specialist of Savage Blade #2. When we get a better shield, later on, you can change then.”

“I agree.”

“Okay, since you say so, I won’t refuse.”

The Heavenly Shield took the Dark Gold shield and equipped it. His Defense increased by 13%, but health points dropped by 500 points. To determine whether a shield was good or bad, one had to first look at its Defense. Afterward, one should look at the additional health it gave before looking at the additional effect it had. Unfortunately, the other fragments of this shield were not meant for Defense. Otherwise, its value would have increased by a few folds.

On top of that, the Boss had dropped a large amount of [Holy Light Mark], which everybody split equally. The last item was [Eller’s Insightful Handbook]. Once used, the user would gain a random skill that Eller had seen before in his journey.

“Lone Wolf can have it.”

“Yes, give it to Lone Wolf.”

Everyone agreed that Lin Jie should have it. After all, there was no doubt that he had played the biggest role in killing the Boss.

Lin Jie did not hold back and accepted it. There was a chance of getting rare skills from this handbook.

Ding~

—”You received [Middle-Grade Healing Spell].”

[Middle-Grade Healing Spell]: Using 150 units of your Mana, you can heal 250 HP of a target. The casting time is 6.5 seconds (due to incompatibility with your job), the cooldown period is 20 seconds.

“Ugh…” Lin Jie almost spat out blood. He actually got a healing spell when his Mana was only enough for him to use the skill twice. This darn luck of his.

Bu Yi said softly, “Gray Wind is here.”

“Sorry, I’m late, everybody.” Abstruse Gray Wind smiled and greeted. This rascal, who was a little too young, came running, looking all restrained. “I’ve passed the expert-level training.”

Abstruse Gray Wind had participated in the plan to slay the dragon. His level had increased to Level 40, and he had immediately started the job advancement mission. Now, there were rings of strange-looking black runes surrounding his white robe. This was the special effect of an Advanced Spellcaster of Curse. He looked extremely cool.

Lin Jie was a Berserker. Only when his health was in a critical state would the ferocious heart on his chest be exposed. It was just like a demon’s heart, and it looked intimidating.

“Congrats.”

“What did you learn?”

“Gray Wind, you’ve missed out on the EXP from the Boss.”

Everybody was smiling. Gray Wind opened his skill column and showed everyone. The skill he had learned was a Mystic Skill Book, [Wizard’s Curse]. It was different from that of a conventional curse. Wizard’s Curse was even more powerful and mysterious. However, its damage ability was slightly lower.

“At first, the master gave me [Demon’s Chant]. But since it was related to demons, I thought the curse wouldn’t be that strong. That’s why I learned Wizard’s Curse.” Abstruse Gray Wind smiled shyly.

“If you have Demon’s Chant, you will be able to learn Demon Transformation, which is much cooler. Your solo abilities will be stronger too. Wizard’s Curse is stronger for support and will be a great help for the team. You gave up your chance to be cool in order to support the team. You deserve 32 likes,” said Lin Jie seriously.

Gray Wind blushed from his words, making everybody laugh.

Following Guardian Eller’s death, a silver key was dropped too. This was the key to enter the place of the second Boss.

After opening the gate behind the Boss, there was a dark corridor. The walls were even more transparent than glass, and the dark purple demon sky could be seen outside. This was like the “Underwater Glass Tunnel” in real life. When one walked through it, the scenery outside could be seen clearly.

It was like walking through the galaxy in it.

This was the second small map: Shadow Corridor.

A graceful figure appeared floating in the air, completely covered in a dark silhouette. The face could not be seen, and her voice was ethereal. “Peasants, welcome to the Shadow Corridor. Are you here to offer me gifts?”

Ding~

—”You are greeted by the Shadow Queen. Please choose your answer.”

One: “Yes, I’m here to pay my respect to you.” If you choose this answer, the final Boss’ stats will decrease by 30%, and everyone’s Darkness Resistance will increase by 50 points.

Two: “Shadow Queen, I wish to battle you head-on.” If you choose this answer, Shadow Queen will appear directly, and you can skip past the monster battle stage.

Three: “You demon, accept your punishment.” If you choose this answer, the monsters’ stats will increase by 10% while the Shadow Queen’s stats will increase by 20%. You will then enter Hero-Level.

………

“Brotherhood actually got past Guardian Eller? In one clear too! And also Hero-Level! How could that be?” Baili Xuanyuan, the person who had changed into the Hidden Job Red Lotus Knight, as well as the leader of Three Alliances, roared in rage. “Demon Robe, didn’t you guarantee that nobody could get past Guardian Eller?”

Demon Robe trembled. He had taken advantage of Eighteen Massacres’ slump and requested for a large amount of manpower while Baili Xuanyuan was busy with his hidden job abilities without a care for the Main Plot Dungeon. He had planned to clear Guardian Eller with that accumulated power. However, after seeing the Boss’ cheap tactics and unbeatable skills, he had been under the impression that no teams would be able to pass through him. As such, he had decided to raise their skills in the small dungeons temporarily.

Yet, Lone Wolf was able to clear the first Boss now. Could that rascal be Superman?

“They must’ve used some scheme. Give me some time, I will—”

“Hmph! You will? You are a piece of trash!”

Scorn came from outside. The person was dressed in a set of pitch-black armor with Seven Style Spear in his hand. He was no longer emitting a sinister aura like in the past. Instead, it was bright and clear, like the hot sun.

Eighteen Massacres!

“Demon Robe, other than your flowery words, what are you capable of?” said Eighteen Massacres coldly. He glared at Demon Robe and said loud and clear, “Baili Xuanyuan, you want to know how Lone Wolf cleared the first Boss, right? You want to know why he went to clear the smaller dungeons before going to the main plot dungeon, right?”

Baili Xuanyuan looked at him sternly. “You know?”

“Of course, I know. I even have the entire video of their fight with the first Boss.” Eighteen Massacres laughed coldly as he projected a short clip on the air. It was actually the video of Savage Blade battling the first Boss!

Demon Robe stood up. “This… how could it be?”

“Did you actually think I was digging my own grave by fighting them and losing? It was to send in my own men while I was handling Lone Wolf!” Eighteen Massacres said bluntly, “Baili Xuanyuan, give me the power and resources of Kingdom of Glory that belonged to me. Now that you are investigating the mystery of the Red Lotus Knight, you don’t have the time to handle these resources. Hand them over to me. By tomorrow at this time, I will clear the first Boss.”

Baili Xuanyuan looked at the proud and confident Eighteen Massacres and then glanced at Demon Robe at the side. “Okay, I’ll believe in you again. You deserve this trust since you managed to get your hands on the internal information of Savage Blade. Demon Robe, hand over all the resources you have to Eighteen Massacres! However, Eighteen Massacres, don’t be the first to act. Remain hidden and continue to gather information for us. I will send other people under another name and snatch over the first clear.”

Anger was written all over Demon Robe’s face. He made eye contact with Baili Xuanyuan, and a gleam flashed across his eyes.
