Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 566
Chapter 566: Passed Successfully
Army of the Dead, this skill that had once contributed greatly, had gradually lost its effectiveness as time passed. The damage that the five Ghouls dealt now could be said to be negligible.
Swoosh—
The Ghouls approached the Star Elf Boss, which was red as a ruby throughout its whole body. Before their rotten palms could be stretched out, a layer of blood-red lightning enveloped the Boss’ hands and instantly turned three Ghouls into ashes, instakilling them. Immediately after, it raised its hand again, and a ray of moon energy descended from the sky, with a boom as it smashed down, and instakilled the other two Ghouls.
‘First skill is an attack wave, and the charging time is two seconds. Its damage range is 60 by 3 yards in a straight line. The second skill is a hit of energy ray and has a range of 1-yard radius. There should be an additional effect if one is hit right in the center.’ Lin Jie showed the ability of an expert player where he roughly understood the skills the Boss used with just that little clue. However, a Dark Gold Boss would normally have at least three Basic Skills. Thus, there was still one skill that he had not discovered.
Lin Jie took out Silent Killer and aimed it at the Boss’ head. A long flame engulfed the bullets as they were shot towards the Boss crazily.
-271!
-255!
-293!
-247!
-290!
“Blasphemers who have intruded the Star Elves’ Tomb, enjoy the embrace of death!” The Star Elf Boss let out a dull growl, and it raised his hands up high. Then a lightning strike was shot towards Lin Jie rapidly! That lightning strike was as thick as a bucket, and it smashed towards Lin Jie head-on.
Lin Jie felt a bad premonition when he saw the Boss raise its hands, so he stared straight at the Boss. When he saw that its hand shone with lightning, he hurriedly rolled sideways and barely dodged the attack. That lightning sizzled with the sound of electricity flowing and landed beside Lin Jie as it passed the edge of Lin Jie’s armor. Afterward, Lin Jie could only hear a loud explosion sound.
No, there was not only one sound, but two! The second sound was from above Lin Jie’s head! Before Lin Jie had the chance to take a breather, he only had the time to take a glance upwards with the corner of his eyes. A round-shaped lightning ball had already been formed. Lin Jie hurriedly pushed with all his strength using both his hands and feet, then with a swoosh, he violently flew to the side.
Bam!
A deep hole was created from the lightning ball on his original spot!
Seeing the pitch-black ground, Lin Jie could not help but frown. ‘Such overbearing strength!’ However, the Boss’ attack did not stop there. Next, lightning Combo Attacks continued striking down like a machine gun, which bombarded Lin Jie.
Lin Jie was in a sorry state from the attacks, and without any other choice, he activated Dark Chaotic Hole to escape. Fortunately, the Boss did not chase Lin Jie as it was a guardian-type monster that could not leave a certain radius.
Lin Jie’s heart was still fluttering with fear as he took a look at the battle records.
—Battle prompt message: You received a [Star Elves’ Fall] attack from the Star Elf Guardian Leader Zivers and received 3,847 points of damage. You were at the target center, so you will enter a Speed Decrease state for three seconds.
Just by being smashed once, Lin Jie’s health points had decreased by 2/3! That was how fearsome the level suppression in The New Age was. The Boss’ attributes were originally strong, and after it was magnified by level suppression, the damage this Dark Gold Boss dealt could be compared to a Sub-Legendary Boss of the same level.
Lin Jie frowned. How would it be possible for him to kill it? That Boss floated in the center of the door, and its perception range covered the whole door, so it was impossible to sneak in at all. Also, its attacking range was even further than Hunters, and its damage was exceptionally high.
Lin Jie looked at the Boss, and when he saw its eyes, which were filled with moonlight energy, he realized that the Boss was fully concentrated in monitoring everything in front of it, not letting any abnormal movements go.
‘Huh? Wait, in front—’ Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Jie, and he summoned the Silver-Feathered Eagle. “Go! Fly to the side.”
The Silver-Feathered Eagle, which was devoted to its duty wholeheartedly, once again accepted such a suicide mission. It exposed itself within the Boss’ line of sight and flew rapidly to the side.
The Boss’ pupils instantly turned, but since the places where its pupils could see were limited, the Silver-Feathered Eagle very quickly flew outside of the Boss’ vision with breakneck speed. At that moment, a cackling sound could be heard as the Boss tried to turn its head, but to no avail!
The Star Elves’ physique of nothingness was difficult to destroy, but they had a disadvantage—being too stiff!
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle let out a tragic wail. It was instakilled by other monsters below and returned to the Pet Space after it was turned into white light.
‘Very good.’ Lin Jie was not bothered about its death as to these scouting-type pets dying was their noblest mission. Although the Silver-Feathered Eagle was the baby of a Sub-Legendary creature, it needed to go through a series of miraculous encounters before it would be able to reach its peak.
Amongst them, one of the most important things was to die as all creatures following players had the ability to be resurrected infinitely. To any creature in The New Age, which viewed their lives as precious as treasures, the oppression and challenge of death were the best way to understand one’s own potential.
Lin Jie took out Silent Killer and ensured the Boss was within his line of sight.
Whoosh—
The Star Elf Boss turned to look at Lin Jie, and its blood-red eyes unleashed a dense fluctuation of magic. Lin Jie was 60 yards away from it. As long as he went close enough to the Boss, its powerful magic attack would be released.
“Spider Transformation!” Lin Jie converted his Holy Light Winged Armor into spider legs and gradually climbed up the wall, slowly entering the attacking range of the Boss. However, that angle was the Boss’ blind spot as its stiff head was unable to turn more than 20 degrees.
Lin Jie was like a spider looking for food as it gradually neared its prey. Spider Transformation lasted not long, so he had to rely on the short time of 10 seconds to reach behind the Boss. Meanwhile, the pathway from the ground was already impossible to pass, so the only passageway was in the sky.
Roar—
The Star Elf Boss let out an enraged roar as it seemed to sense that someone had intruded into its territory. Its magic energy started to become more and more violent, but it was no to no avail as the Boss needed a target to be able to release its magic. It was only players who had the privilege of randomly releasing their skills and bombarding the map—the Boss had no such intelligence.
‘Almost there.’ Lin Jie gradually reached above the Boss, and the time for Spider Transformation was almost up. Next was the most important step! Lin Jie took a deep breath, and scales appeared on his skin, covering him so thoroughly he was like a Dragonite. As his health points decreased rapidly, his attributes started to increase crazily.
The effects of the Berserker’s Blood Power and Heart of Enrage would gradually increase with the decrease of the Berserker’s health points. Lin Jie tried to move his limbs and felt that his Movement Speed was much faster than when he had full health.
Feather Drop Spell!
Jump!
Lin Jie did not hesitate at all as he kept his spider legs and once again turned back to the appearance of Holy Light Winged Armor. He spread his six wings and flew swiftly towards the Star Elf. Lin Jie’s figure was reflected in the Boss’ pupils and the magic energy surging in the sky crazily condensed. A high-speed spiraling energy bullet was shot towards Lin Jie’s face.
“Dark Chaotic Hole.” Lin Jie activated the skill on Broken Blade, and the magic spell was suddenly diverted as it smashed towards the surface of Lin Jie’s skin. An explosion occurred in the air, which made the situation chaotic.
‘It’s close!’
Lin Jie’s heart thumped more and more rapidly, but his breathing was getting more and more steady. The more dangerous it was, all the more he had to calm down. The fact that the Boss still had one to two more skills, which it had not used, was committed to his memory. According to Lin Jie’s speculation, those two skills should belong to the condition-type skill, such as skills in Enraged Mode, which would only be released when its health was in critical condition, but it might also be—close combat skills.
The strength that the Boss had revealed was super-powerful ranged-attacking ability. Normally, these types of monsters would be similar to Mages, where their battling strength would decrease if in close combat. Therefore, considering how cunning the system was, it would be totally normal if it had let magic-type Bosses grasp close combat skills to trick players.
Lin Jie spread his hands like a huge bird and fell towards the top of the Boss’ head. That was the Boss’ blind spot, so according to the rule of magic-type skills, where they needed a target, he would be able to dodge the attack of most skills.
Gulp—
In such a nerve-racking situation, Lin Jie could not help but swallow his saliva. That sound was clearly heard by him, which shocked him. In the next second, Lin Jie felt an unusual aura. The Boss seemed to be too quiet?
Suddenly, an eye-piercing light blinded Lin Jie’s eyes.
The Star Elf Boss opened its hands wide, and the tremendous energy suddenly exploded. A halo, which shone brightly, spread towards the surrounding with the Boss as the halo’s center.
—Resisting Aura: Arcana Mage’s exclusive skill. It releases a halo towards the surrounding with one as the center. All targets hit by the halo will receive an 80% Magic Damage and be knocked back a certain distance. The closer one is to the center of the circle, the stronger the knockback effect.
Lin Jie’s heart suddenly thumped. If he was knocked back at such a distance, then with the strength of the Boss, he would most likely fly towards the crowd of monsters! Then not to mention killing the Boss, it would be difficult to even survive.
At such a distance, any skills that could interrupt the Boss would be useless due to distance—-not to mention the Boss still had the attribute of preventing it from being interrupted.
Lin Jie scanned the surroundings and tried his best to find all possibilities that could reverse such plight. There was still time if he chose to retreat now, but he would not do such a thing. Escaping and going the roundabout way was the method of Bandits. Warriors believed in pressing forward with indomitable will and crushing all obstacles that stood in front of them!
“Chaotic Wind Kill!”
An idea occurred to Lin Jie. Then his Broken Blade was enveloped in a layer of colorless light. Wind Elements went wild crazily in the sealed Star Elves’ Tomb as tornadoes gathered beside the Star Elf Boss. The violent wind blew around without restraint and forcibly lifted the Star Elf’s body into the air a little, away from its original position.
Once the Bosses were moved, their magic would be interrupted!
The Resisting Aura was stopped abruptly. Lin Jie charged down from the top in a swoosh and rolled on the ground to offset the damage of falling from high grounds. At the same time, Lin Jie also drank the health potion that he had stored in his mouth long ago. Even so, he still received 2,000+ points of damage from falling from such a high distance.
Lin Jie’s heart thumped non-stop vigorously. If it were not for Seven Ears’ high-grade potion, the abnormally strong Defense from Sea King Scaly Armor enhancement, and his health points being high enough, Lin Jie would have died.
“Phew…” Lin Jie heaved a huge sigh of relief as his breathing gradually steadied. It was only then that he started to observe the surroundings. The spot he was at now was called [Land of Moonfall], which made Lin Jie surprised.
No! This was not the map that he had seen from the outside. Lin Jie’s heart tightened. Was it possible that he had entered a hidden map?
In The New Age, there were indeed some hidden maps distributed. Such included the land of trials for missions or Primordial Ruins. Strictly speaking, even the Tower of Light belonged to hidden maps. Meanwhile, before Lin Jie was a type of hidden map, which was triggered by some condition. Also, the condition to trigger it could very possibly be to enter the door under the situation where the Boss was still alive.
No wonder the energy of that large door was that impressive and immense, so this was the reason!
Lin Jie looked at the Boss behind him and grinned. No matter what, he was going to grasp the benefits right in front of him first! According to the over-level enhancement of The New Age, a Level 80 Dark Gold Boss would most likely be able to raise his level!
