Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 429
Chapter 429: First Clear Failed?
Lin Jie had died!
The Boss pulled back his Devil’s Spear and laughed eerily as if he was extremely satisfied with this massacre. As the final Boss of the Holy Light Temple, his battle powers were over the roof, and even if Lin Jie was fully prepared beforehand by letting his teammates getting enough rest, coming up with the perfect plan and even used the Holy Light Corrosive Potion, he was still defeated by the Boss.
That Boss had AOE attacks and various types of single-target attack skills. Therefore, he was able to face out both groups of people and single players in the Willpower Space to pick them off one by one—he was undoubtedly a Devil!
Varvis had set an example of how dungeons would be like in the future and completely exhibited the powerful strength of the Devils.
Tssss—
Just at that moment, suddenly, an extremely sharp Broken Blade pierced through the chest of the Devil! The blade ravaged around vigorously, the pitch-black flesh that was like ink was thoroughly stirred around by Broken Blade and instantly turned into minced meat, falling to the ground in lumps. As it fell to the ground, it completely shattered.
Lin Jie’s whole body was enveloped in Holy Light as he stood behind the Devil with an ice-cold face. On top of his head was a pale-colored amulet that gradually disappeared.
That’s right, it was the blessing that he had obtained when he had entered the Holy Light Temple—it would revive the person in the same spot after dying!
The instant Lin Jie died, he had already activated the blessings, so his body gathered together after he died, and with a full condition, he revived. He took advantage when the Boss was not noticing and attacked sneakily!
“Shield Cut!”
“Army Obliteration!”
“Clomaros’ Kill!”
Sharp Blade Auras were released explosively from the Broken Blade, which was stabbed into the Devil’s chest! The Devil’s skin, flesh, and bones were sliced into powder, and with a swoosh, the Broken Blade mercilessly sliced the Devil’s body into half!
Death!
Devil•Varvis was sliced into two by Lin Jie’s sword after he revived!
Whoosh!
An old soul flew out from the body, it was the old Priest that was controlled by the Devil. He was thankful to Lin Jie, he bowed to express his gratitude, and then waved his hand and released Mass Resurrection—everyone revived in full condition. After the old Priest expressed his appreciation, he left.
The system rewarded them with a Mass Resurrection for killing the final Boss.
“Wow, haha… Ahhhh…” Zheng Ziliang looked down at the ground at the Devil’s corpse, which was sliced into two, and hurriedly gulped down his saliva to moisturize his dry throat. He shouted out in excitement. “Jie, you’re strong enough to smash and crush them all throughout the ages[1].
Inksnow rubbed her eyes in disbelief, she took a look at the Boss and then turned to look at Lin Jie. It seemed as if she still could not believe that these were all done by Lin Jie.
“Hahaha, our Boss is really awesome! The Boss was destroyed by us! We’ve taken the first clear for Holy Light Temple! F*ck, the last first clear was stolen by Eighteen Massacres, who else is there this time!?” I’m No. 1 threw his head back and laughed cockily.
“Release the announcement, release the announcement! It’s time for our name to be known throughout the game!”
“I have bet 50,000 gold coins on the official website on us, Savage Blade, winning, hahaha. I’m going to get rich!”
Everyone was excited, especially Netherblue. Her eyes had turned watery from being moved as she saw the smiles on her teammates’ faces.
This first clear was not only a normal first clear, but they had also really proved Savage Blade’s ability to the world! They not only obtained the Boss, but there was also the glory!
What was the most important within an organization? That was glory!
When a person formed a sense of belonging and regarded the organization as one’s home, together with shared glory, that organization would be impregnable!
Lin Jie smiled as the lively atmosphere surrounded him, warming his heart up. He did it, he obtained the Holy Light Temple’s first clear! He let those waiting to see the Brotherhood make a fool of themselves cover their face in shame and feel mortified.
Ding~
—System Announcement: …
When the System Announcement prompt message sounded, the whole The New Age actually quietened down. Was it the first clear announcement? If so, then was it Savage Blade or Twilight Transmigration that had won?
“It must be Twilight Transmigration, I joined Twilight Transmigration and also bet my whole fortune into them winning.”
“Savage Blade will win for sure! Brotherhood will win for sure!”
“I think Twilight Transmigration’s chances are higher, didn’t you hear those rumors? A while ago, the impressive and arrogant Three Alliances, all their elites were absorbed into Twilight Transmigration. Two major organizations joining hands to obtain the first clear should be simple.”
“Right, I think so too. What do those from Savage Blade think they are? The first clear of the precious dungeon was stolen, this time they won’t be able to get it either.”
“Shh, quieten down, look at the announcement.”
Ding~
—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Lone Wolf”. He has made an additional achievement [Hero-Level! Holy Light Temple First Clear]! He is rewarded with 3,000,000 EXP, 100 gold coins, and 4,000 Guild of Light Reputation Points. Congratulations, he is rewarded with 3 additional Stat Points, and 1 Skill Point!’
—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Thousand Miles”. He has made an additional achievement [Hero-Level! Holy Light Temple First Clear]! He is rewarded with 3,000,000 EXP, 100 gold coins, and 4,000 Guild of Light Reputation Points. Congratulations, he is rewarded with 3 additional Stat Points, and 1 Skill Point!’
—System Announcement: …
“It’s Savage Blade!”
“Ahahaha! Boss Lone Wolf is the best! Those b*stards from Twilight Transmigration, it’s our turn to get back what they owe us.”
“F*ck, I bet 200 gold coins on Twilight Transmigration winning, those pieces of trash!”
Some were elated, whereas some were depressed, but what could be confirmed was that the whole The New Age was shaken by Savage Blade, obtaining the first clear! The event where Twilight Transmigration had challenged the Brotherhood ended with the Brotherhood obtaining the first clear.
Meanwhile, the commotion gave rise to the discussion regarding “Skill Points”. In The New Age, did anyone know how difficult it was to train skills? Even if one trained the skill for up to half a month, there would not be much increase in proficiency. However, with Skill Points, one could directly increase the level. Skill Points were a Bug-like existence! A wave of madness for searching for Skill Points had been set off in The New Age!
Devils’ Prison.
The system announcement resounded beside one’s ear, and to the ears of Savage Blade, the sound was literally heavenly. What could make one more excited than obtaining rewards for something one had put so much effort into?
“Corpse Search!”
“That’s right, Boss go do the Corpse Search!”
“Good luck, Boss.”
Lin Jie rubbed his hands and then lowered his head. It was as if he could see the halo of his unluckiness hovering around his hand shining, but he was unable to refuse under the pressure of such enthusiastic voices. He smiled and said, “Alright then, I’ll do it then!”
Ding~
—’You received [Abyss Staff] (Dark Gold).’
—’You received [Death Singer] (Dark Gold).’
—’You received [Devil’s Broken Left Wing].’
—’You received [Devil’s Broken Right Wing].’
—’You received [Devil’s Fangs] x 2.’
…
Ding, ding, ding!
The prompt messages sounded, crazily, and the team’s backpack was filled up instantly. All one could see was a long list of materials that were never-ending!
Everyone was stunned. “F*ck? Only two pieces of equipment?”
“Boss, are you kidding me? You’re too unlucky!”
“It’s definitely because the Boss’ posture was wrong when doing Corpse Search.”
Everyone started discussing amongst themselves, only Lin Jie was delighted. Devil•Varvis was similar to the Frost Dragon, where it would drop many materials! Those materials would become the best equipment after being forged.
However, Devil•Varvis was only a Boss to let the players understand such a system setting.
Dumb Fox’s eyes lit up, and he shouted, “These materials, I’ve seen similar ones! Yes, that’s right, these are materials which can be directly forged into equipment like those materials from the Frost Dragon!”
“That’s right.” Lin Jie snapped his finger. “These materials, not only can they be forged into equipment, but their grades are also not high, so they are good items to farm for proficiency. Star Kill, these two Devil’s Fangs are for you.”
[Devil’s Fangs]: The sharpest fangs of the Devil. They are rumored to be able to pierce through Gold Iron. Material, it can be used in Smithing, Enchantment, and forging armor.
The moment Star Kill took the items from Lin Jie’s hands, he received a prompt message, ‘Do you want to learn [Double-Hook Leytusk] Smithing Blueprint?’
“These materials come with blueprints?” asked Star Kill, uncertain.
“Of course, Devil•Varvis is the first low-level Boss players could come in contact with that could drop large amounts of materials to replace equipment. It’s natural that the system must give some tutorial, or else the players would be confused and definitely not know what to do with the materials,” said Lin Jie as he smiled. “The wings are for Childe, the hands for Inksnow, the head to Gray Wind…”
After distribution, everyone obtained a few… limbs. Looking at the slightly bloody broken limbs in their hands, everyone’s face turned a little pale. They all turned their attention to the two pieces of equipment, one after another. Compared to these raw materials of superb equipment, the already complete items were still more attractive.
[Abyss Staff] (Dark Gold)
Requires: Level 42
Magic Attack: 586-938
Wisdom: +65
Spirit: +65
Endurance: +65
Dark Resistance+25, Chanting Speed+20
Additional effect: Your Dark-type attacks increase by 15%
Additional effect: Every time you cast a spell, there are chances you will receive a 300-point Magical Shield to absorb damage for you.
Additional effect: Every time your Damage-Dealing Magic Spell is effective, 10% of the damage will convert into your mana.
Everyone’s body trembled from astonishment—that staff was beyond amazing! Although it was a Dark Gold item, there was no other Dark Gold item as powerful as this Abyss Staff. Not to mention the high-damage and high-attribute enhancement, it also provided the mana regen that Mages most required. With an AOE magic spell, the mana regenerated could replenish the mana consumed!
However, with its attribute of increasing 15% Dark-type attacks, it was made for Dark-type jobs.
Gray Wind was the only Dark-type job. Although his job was Spellcaster of Curse and did not have high damage, if he wanted it, everyone would have to give up fighting for the staff as that was the unwritten rule within Savage Blade all along.
“I give up, that staff’s attack is too high, it’s simply a waste giving it to me.” Gray Wind shook his hand. “Let Brothers Cattle, Wantless, and Night, Roll.”
Wantless took a look at the Tri-Elemental Wand in his hand and silently took a step back, indicating his withdrawal.
Night smiled and said, “My staff is an Ice-type one, it’s more compatible with me, so give this staff to Fat Cattle.”
Domestic Fat Cattle was so moved his body of fats trembled in excitement, wanting to properly hug these few Mage brothers, but he realized that his hands were too short to hug them. If he were to force the hug, he would only seem like Totoro stretching its hands out to act cute. He then nodded and said, “Thank you, brothers, then I’ll take it… Next time I’ll treat you to some good food, you can eat and drink to your heart’s content!”
[1] In the original text, Ziliang used the famous saying ‘千秋万代,一统江湖’ which means to rule the world throughout the ages, but he replaced the words of ‘一统江湖’ with ‘一桶浆糊’, which refers to the Boss’ corpse, as their pronunciation is the same, thus the pun where Ziliang teased Lin Jie for his power being able to kill the Boss in such a gruesome way which links to the original Chinese saying of the powerful rules the world for generations to come.
