Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Evil Plan

Although it was a little painful to part with 300,000 gold coins, for a prominent figure like Twilight Transmigration, it was not a big problem. However, Character Z’s personality was very extreme. He was just like a blade, calm, and only moved ahead. Since he had chosen to fight Lin Jie head-on, he had to completely annihilate him.

You’ve received rewards from clearing the dungeon? Okay, I’ll make you spit them all out!

“Character Z, did you think you can kill me?” Lin Jie could feel the Dreadlord’s attack. Sinister gales were blowing harshly, and with a roar, the desperate cries of souls could be heard from the surroundings.

The Dreadlord was true to its name, with a flick of its hand, it emitted terror. These horrifying scenes had their uses—the spirits went into the ground, and with a boom, the ground within 300 yards radius looked as if it was dug up, revealing hundreds of skeletons.

“Cheche—”

Dead Spirit Dominance•Devils Refined Punch!

At that moment, the skeletons began to float. They gathered together to form a giant skeletal fist, which was the size of three humans, and headed straight to Lin Jie!

The Level 60 Dark Gold Highlord naturally possessed a Mystic Skill Book that could not be taken lightly. On top of that, this was the Devils Fork where disasters happened, where blood formed the sea and corpses piled up into mountains. As such, it was hard to win against the Dreadlord. The difficulty of killing it was no less than that of the Frost Dragon.

This was the privilege of terrain advantage. In its terrain, which fulfilled all conditions, the Level 60 Dark Gold Dreadlord was able to unleash its full strength. It was as good as a Sub-Legendary Boss!

The giant skeletal fist grew bigger as it continued to descend closer.

“Lone Wolf, you dared to kill Feng Yun’s Zerg Queen, I’ll make you pay for it!” Chaos In The Sky roared viciously and appeared behind Lin Jie instantly. The scary part about Shadowers was showcased during battle. Lin Jie had to concentrate on the Devil and was unable to focus on Chaos In The Sky. This allowed him to move around swiftly like a fish in the water, which made him hard to catch. His dagger glowed as his stun skill, Gouge, was about to hit Lin Jie’s head!

“Wind Spirit…” Character Z was on the move, as well. His blade danced, and a whirlwind appeared on it, circling the blade like a venomous snake, waiting for the opportunity to strike. It headed for Lin Jie’s Broken Blade to prevent him from using his weapon.

The two elite players had Lin Jie trapped and forced him to take on the incoming Level 60 Dark Gold Highlord’s attack!

Boom—

The intense shockwave even caused the dirt on the ground to fly in all directions. It looked as if it was snowing dirt, covering the place in darkness.

Character Z and Chaos In The Sky were stunned. The thing that exploded was not Lin Jie, but another creature—a hideous-looking Naga! Its shield was broken by the Dreadlord’s punch, but it had 1,200 health points left.

The Naga Shield Soldier from [Sea Riding skill•Summoned Beast] helped to take the blow in Lin Jie’s stead.

“Water Surge!”

Lin Jie waved his right hand, and a strong wave lifted Chaos In The Sky into the air. Lin Jie broke free from the restraints and smirked. “How confident! Did you think two people were enough to kill me?”

“No, I alone would be enough.” Character Z’s Dark Gold blade danced lightly in the air, and another whirlwind appeared. The whirlwind was strange and could wrap around weapons like a snake spirit. Earlier, Lin Jie had been stopped by this whirlwind, which restrained his weapon. Otherwise, he would have killed Chaos In The Sky instantly.

“You neither understand swords nor like them. That sword in your hand is no different than a broken wooden rod. Swordsmanship is essential, and you have absolutely no grasp on it, which is why you cannot fight me. Today, I’ll teach you that equipment, skills, and stats are not everything in the game. All of these are a farce. The only thing that truly represents your capability is the sword in your hands,” said Character Z. His eyes betrayed his devotion while the sword danced as he spoke as if it was part of his body. That spinning whirlwind was raging wildly.

Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold. “Swordsmanship, my ass! This old man will show you that strength triumphs all tricks! Your whirlwind can only restrain me for 1.5 seconds, it’s not even comparable to a crowd control skill! Outraged Roar!”

ROAR—

A long howl, like a bell ringing beside one’s ear, and a huge shockwave caused Character Z to be stunned! He was an All-Agility Sword Artist with only 2,300 health points. Lin Jie would be able to kill him instantly with one hit.

“Wind Spirit! Second Whirlwind!”

Character Z’s lips moved as he swung his sword, and another tornado appeared. This whirlwind wrapped around his body. It was like a knife, slicing the shockwave from Outraged Roar in half and sending them away, rendering them useless. The whirlwind then slowly disappeared, temporarily unable to gather.

“What’s this?” Lin Jie searched his memory, yet he could not recall anything regarding this whirlwind. In Lin Jie’s previous life, Character Z had entered the game so that he could kill enemies without a care, practice his swordsmanship, and take away the fame of others. As such, Lin Jie did not know much about him and was unable to understand these skills’ essence.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Wild Charge!

Shield Cut!

Lin Jie charged forward with iron-like force, zooming past like a bolt of black lightning. ‘Since I don’t know what you are exactly, I’ll just get rid of you!’

With Flame Boost, Broken Blade turned into a flaming blade. When Lin Jie slashed the air, the blaze lingered, and the heat from the fire was hot enough to burn off one’s skin.

“Die!”

“Third Whirlwind, attack break!”

A shred of disdain flashed across Character Z’s eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out another whirlwind! The whirlwind was like a spring breeze that was carrying thousands of scissors. It cut Lin Jie’s attack up! This skill could actually break attacks!

Lin Jie turned pale with shock. The thing that influenced the chance of breaking an attack was Judgement. He was a Berserker and possessed top-grade equipment like Broken Blade, Kiara Beast King, and Devils Wristguard. His Strength Judgement was second to none. As such, Lin Jie was always the one who performed attack breaks while nobody was ever able to break his! Now, Character Z’s strange whirlwind was actually able to break Lin Jie’s skill!

“I’ve said it earlier, you don’t understand swords.” Character Z chanted, and once again, a whirlwind restrained Broken Blade. He moved, and in but an instant, his blade was headed towards Lin Jie’s neck! With a slight movement, he sent out an attack successfully, then again and again. Each attack of his was as fast as the wind.

When normal players attacked, a starting move, attack move, and ending move were needed. For example, a simple attack would require them to raise the sword, swing it, and then withdraw it for it to be counted as one attack. However, Character Z’s attack style relied on his extreme speed and great technique. With a tiny movement, he was able to send the blade flying in an instant and attack.

-209!

-216!

“Huh?”

Character Z was surprised. He did not expect his attacks to deal such little damage. Although the Dark Gold Spirit Wind in his hand had a high Attack Speed, its damage should have been 300-500, and not any less!

“Multi-Slash!”

Character Z shouted and struck with his blade consecutively, dealing combos. He had to make up for his low damage with numbers. He could tell that although Lin Jie’s equipment was not a full set, the stats from each piece added up to be stronger than a complete set. He was an All-Agility Sword Artist with extremely skilled techniques. His Attack Speed was fast, but in exchange, the damage was low.

Clang—

Broken Blade clashed with Spirit Wind. The sound from their collision was so small it was barely noticeable! Seeing that Broken Blade had parried his attack and was about to retaliate, Character Z’s movements became strange. He changed his attack direction and deflected Lin Jie’s Broken Blade away.

‘His attack target is not me, but my side? He’s actually using this method to avoid Attack Judgement so that I can’t parry it.’ Lin Jie’s pupils shrank. As the saying went, “The devil is in the details.” It was undeniable that Character Z’s technique was special. However, what was the use of these weak attacks?

Lin Jie puffed out his chest and allowed Spirit Wind to hit his armor directly!

-283!

Character Z was stunned and did not withdraw his blade for a moment. He did not expect Lin Jie to actually allow the hit to land.

“I may not know about swords, but I do know that as long as you have the strength, you can even break a sword! Death Grip!” Lin Jie’s right hand turned into a giant palm and slammed down! His Broken Blade was ready to kill!

At that moment, a shadow appeared suddenly in front of him. With a smirk, a light flashed and headed straight for Lin Jie’s eyes!

It was just a normal attack, but every human had the instinct to protect their eyes, Lin Jie included. He took a step back and squinted, preparing to retaliate.

“Chechecheche—”

The Dreadlord’s voice sounded from behind Lin Jie, giving him a bad premonition. This was Chaos In The Sky’s plan! He had lured the Dreadlord over and then retreated so that he could make use of the Boss to kill him. As expected, the Dreadlord once again summoned his skeletal punch, which slammed down towards Lin Jie! Meanwhile, Character Z escaped from the Boss’ attack range with haste.

Kaboom—

The earth trembled, and the mountain shook! The giant fist caused the countless corpses buried in the ground to explode, and the dirt flying everywhere blocked all sight. The dirt and mud piled up like a mountain, weighing heavily down on Lin Jie. At that moment, there seemed to be no one left alive.

“Boss, how was Codename Lone Wolf’s strength? After the Third Main Plot Dungeon, he must’ve gotten much stronger, right?” Chaos In The Sky looked at the scene in front of him and let out a sigh of relief. Under the Dreadlord’s attack, even an NPC would not have survived. However, he thought about it and felt worried.

Character Z coldly smiled and said, “He won’t make it. Although his equipment has become stronger, his skills are pretty much the same. When I master the Seven Spinning Slash, he won’t even be able to compete with me. The famous Codename Lone Wolf is nothing special after all.”

Chaos In The Sky’s eyes lit up. “The Seven Spinning Slash? Isn’t that written in the information we retrieved—”

“Quiet!” Character Z hissed, and Chaos In The Sky stopped speaking. He then whispered, “Every job has its top-secret technique. I’m only at the tip of the iceberg. What about you? You have a hidden job and countless resources. On top of that, Shadower is the easiest job to master the movements of a bandit. Why aren’t you there yet?”

“Boss… this is a game. Only after practicing countless times would allow me to master it. I can only improve when I get a sudden revelation and understand the weaknesses of my skills. It’s not that easy.” Chaos In The Sky fiddled his dagger and sighed. When he looked at the pile of dirt, he smiled. “Codename Lone Wolf should’ve been killed by the Boss. I’ll go and lure the Boss away while you collect the loot. I sure hope his weapon was dropped.”
