“Luuuuuuup——”
When he rushed out of the wooden door, Lin Jie did not have time to calculate the Aggro range of the Vampire Bats. He could only run forward. All at once, as if dozens of light bulbs were turned on at the same time, the bats opened their bloody eyes and charged at their food.
There were also vampires chasing behind him!
Lin Jie gritted his teeth and put away the Broken Blade and Withered Leaf Sword. He took out the Shield of Courage, transformed it to Double-Handed Shield, and continued charging forward!
He was like an unbeatable torrent of steel! The sharp teeth of the bats were nothing in the face of the Shield of Courage. They could not get at Lin Jie unless they bit into the body parts which were not covered by the Shield of Courage. Otherwise, they must face the high-defense prowess of the Shield of Courage, the Flame Walker Pauldron, and the Kiara Beast King Armor all at once!
Each bat could only cause less than 10 damage to Lin Jie under the effect of level suppression! The Wolf Soul Necklace shone brightly, and a recovery force from the natural grasslands flowed into his body like the continuous trickling of a stream.
+200!
After the evolution of the Kiara Beast King Armor, Lin Jie’s defense capabilities had reached an astonishing height, and any slight reduction of his health bar triggered the Judgment by the Wolf Soul Guardian. He was like a tiger thrown into a flock of sheep, absolutely unstoppable. Although he suffered attacks all the time, his health bar did not decrease!
Lin Jie aimed at the bat at the farthest point of the passageway, and activated Hunter’s Forward Charge!
BOOM!
The bats along the way were all blasted to a side by the Shield of Courage, and they were pinned firmly onto the rock wall of the passageway! As the skill level of Hunter’s Forward Charge had been increased to Level 3, the speed of his assault had increased, coupled with an additional two yards of charge range!
Lin Jie was nearing the exit!
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, and he activated the Feather Drop skill. Stepping on the wall, he was immediately lifted up four yards into the air! He kept the Shield of Courage, took out the Broken Blade and Withered Leaf Sword at the same time, and stabbed them into the walls of the passageway on both sides!
The Broken Blade cut through the rotting wall like slicing through a piece of tofu effortlessly!
However, the Withered Leaf Sword made a crisp sound, and Lin Jie dropped down, unbalanced. He hurriedly put the Withered Leaf Sword away in his backpack and climbed up the wall using the Broken Blade! It was unfortunate that there were too many Vampire Bats here, or else he would have stripped off of all his equipment and would have an easier climb.
With the help of Feather Drop skill and the Broken Blade as support, Lin Jie climbed towards the hole’s entrance with much difficulty. The Vampire Bats licked Lin Jie’s blood which dripped down from the wall, but under the scary defense capabilities of the Kiara Beast King Armor and the Life-Steal effect of the +8 Wolf Soul Necklace, they could only watch reluctantly as their prey left the castle’s boundaries.
‘Zeng——’
Like a ghost movie, a hand broke through the earth and grabbed onto the edge of the hole. With a loud cry, Lin Jie finally got out of the castle’s boundaries and returned to the ground!
Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief and sprawled out flat on the ground, refusing to move. However, a Skeleton Knight suddenly appeared! The flesh on his body had been corroded by the years which passed, and specks of blue light shone off from its skeleton. The Skeleton Knight was dressed in an old-fashioned Forward Charge Paladin’s armor, and there was a conspicuous emblem on his shoulder—that was the emblem of the former empire.
The Skeleton Knight’s sword was stained with a layer of dark black Undead Magic, and it slashed down the sword upon Lin Jie!
Ding~
Parry!
-1!
The Broken Blade collided with the Skeleton Knight’s sword, and Lin Jie pushed it away forcefully. The Skeleton Knight backed off unsteadily. Lin Jie activated Forward Charge and Army Obliteration!
-245!
-237!
…
Before the third sword was thrust out, the Skeleton Knight was broken into pieces as it could not withstand such strong attacks!
—’You have killed the Skeleton Commander Shebart! You gained 14,500 EXP.”
Lin Jie blinked. ‘What, is this actually a Boss? How come it is so weak?’
The Skeleton Knight spawned two Augmenting Gems and a Wristguard. In addition, it also dropped numerous Bone Dust and a Runes rib.
[Commander Wrist Guard] (Silver)
Can be used by Paladins.
Requires: Level 10
Defense: 17-32
Strength: +4
Willpower: +5
Additional: When you activate Brilliance Aura, you can give your teammates an additional 5 points of Attack Power and increase your own and your teammates Mana level by 10 points.
Weight: 1.5 pounds
It was a sturdy Paladin wristband, and as it had an additional 5 points Resistance, it could increase the Paladin’s skill strength by 8%. In addition, the Brilliance Aura was the halo that Paladins liked to use currently, as it not only increased one’s Attack Power but also restored their Mana levels.
One could only use a single Aura skill at any time.
However, the Commander Wrist Guard could add extra attributes to Aura skills, which would be useful for Paladins.
“F*ck, the Boss was robbed!”
“Wth, no wonder its EXP dropped out!”
More than 20 players came forward and looked at the broken Commander Skeleton on the ground. Then, they turned to glare at Lin Jie, who was musing over the equipment he held. They shouted angrily, “Boy, are you looking for death?”
Lin Jie threw the Wrist guard in his hand and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, this was purely an accident. I didn’t know that this was your Boss. You can have this equipment If you need it.”
It’s not that Lin Jie was afraid of them, but as he just escaped from the William Castle, he was only left with a maximum 320 health points. He wanted to get back to the city to seek help from the Holy Church’s priest to recover his health bar as soon as possible.
If one did not fill up their health bar for a long time, the upper limit of their health bar would drop and decrease after every fixed period of time, until their health bar’s upper limit was lowered to a minimum!
It’s best to avoid more trouble now.
At that moment, a shifty-eyed Bandit sneered, turned his head and whispered into the group leader’s ear, “Leader, looks like this Warrior doesn’t have much health points left. Look at his health bar…”
Lin Jie felt threatened.
Those people were looking at him with sinister looks, while the corners of their mouths were curved up in mocking smiles. It looked like they were up to no good!
“Brother, we won’t bother you, but…” the captain was called Aquatic Predator, and he threw glances at his followers, signaling for them to surround Lin Jie. He sneered and said, “… only on the condition that you give us each a gold coin. Then we shall consider this issue settled. How’s that?”
Lin Jie scoffed, “A gold coin? Are any of you worth that price?”
“Hey, you f*cking boy…” the shifty-eyed Bandit was displeased. Like a street gangster, he crept out from behind his leader and slapped hardly on Lin Jie’s shoulders. “What do you mean by that? You are looking for death…”
Before his voice died away, two bloody slashes tore his body!
The Bandit looked down at his wound in horror. His lips trembled, but before he could say anything, he dropped down dead.
Aquatic Predator was shocked and furious. “How dare you attack us? Wth, brothers, kill him! Keep watch over his corpse until he deletes his account!”
Lin Jie’s eyes scanned the crowd. There were eight Mages, four Warriors, four Paladins, four Bandits, and four Hunters! He subconsciously glanced at the Mages who were gathered all together in the distance…
Aquatic Predator wielded a big hammer, and smashed it down on Lin Jie’s armor! As the Hammer had the slowest Attack speed within all weapons, it had the ‘Repel’ effect as a compensation. As long as the one’s strength was great enough, they would be able to attack their target indefinitely!
‘Duang!——’
There was a loud noise, but Lin Jie did not step back at all!
Aquatic Predator was shocked as he saw a ‘-17’ float above Lin Jie’s head!
‘What kind of defense does this f*cking boy have!?’
The next second, the Broken Blade thrust into Aquatic Predator’s muscles which were exposed, and the damage of more than 200 points caused his health bar to drop by 1/3!
“Weakness Exploit!” Lin Jie thrust out both of his swords and brought about a strong wind, piercing the abdomen of Aquatic Predator. He was dead instantly!
All the melee jobs watched in horror as Lin Jie killed their leader in just one shot. For a while, none of them dared to go forward!
Suddenly a 30 plus years old Mage who had slicked back hair shouted, “Block him! Why should we be afraid of a Warrior who is only left with a thin health bar? We just have to bombard him with spells. He must possess some superb equipment which can reduce injuries. We’ll just kill him and if he spawns that equipment, we’ll get rich!”
As soon as everyone heard the Mage’s words, all the Mages began chanting spells collectively, while several Paladins gritted their teeth and tried their best to hold off Lin Jie!
As long as a team could hold off as much time as possible for their Mages to cast spells, it wouldn’t be that difficult to kill a Warrior! It was known that Mana Defense was the weakness of all Warriors.
“ROAR—”
Lin Jie’s throat trembled, and a beast-like roar came out of his throat! All the Paladins were stunned. Caressing the Broken Blade, he activated Flame Boost! At the tip of the quaint Broken Blade, flames jumped in joy. Like a beam of laser light, it slit across all the Paladins’ waist areas from left to right. In fact, all the Blade Auras given off were accompanied by flames!
-274!
-295!
-281!
A series of great damage followed! When the Paladins got out of their Stun states, they discovered in shock that their health bars had fallen by more than half!
“Let’s attack him together, kill him!” roared the Paladins and all their weapons were simultaneously thrown towards Lin Jie!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
There were three consecutive sounds caused by the collision of metal, but Lin Jie was not the one being hit! The tip of the Broken Blade had parried the thrown weapons accurately! In the hands of Lin Jie, the prowess of ‘Army Obliteration’ was fully executed—it parried attacks coming from the various directions by the different Paladins. Several gusts of Blade Auras were shot out and pierced through the Paladins’ bodies!
The Wolf Soul Necklace sucked in the blood which flowed out, and turned it into health points for Lin Jie!
In the blink of an eye, the death toll for the group was more than 1/3. Yet Lin Jie’s health bar had not changed the slightest! He looked at the Mages coldly and activated Forward Charge!
The Mages yelled angrily, “Blast him with the spells!”
Flames, Arcane spells, and Ice was formed in their palms, and thrown consecutively at this crazy Warrior! Elemental Attacks could get through the Warrior’s high-intensity physical defense capabilities!
The ground shook while the wind howled at Lin Jie’s every step.
Finally, Lin Jie was hit by Elemental magic. The Mages almost shouted out in excitement when they saw this scene! They had used eight kinds of Elemental magic altogether, and they believed that this would be enough to kill him as he was only left with minimal health points!
Unexpectedly, when the Element spells came in contact with his armor, the Kiara Beast King Enchanted Gem emitted a strange light. Elemental Attacks were like nothing to Lin Jie—they could not even burn or slow him down!
-17!
+16!
-8!
+9!
-15!
+18!
What’s more frightening was that the health points that Lin Jie lost due to the eight types of Elemental Attacks were regained by him in a jiffy with the help of the Wolf Spirit Necklace. It was almost like mocking them right in their faces!
Like a God of War, every step Lin Jie took brought War and Death nearer to them!
One of the Mages’ eyes widened in horror. He had completely lost any will to fight on!
Lin Jie held up the Broken Blade in a nonchalant manner. That fellow actually knelt down on the ground and shouted, “Big brother, don’t kill me! I worked so hard to get to Level 10. I was just planning to do some missions so I can earn my own living. If you kill me, I will drop back to Level 9, and it will be over for me…”
“Yes, yes, we are just helping someone complete his mission. It is Aquatic Predator who wanted to kill you, it’s none of our business!”
Several Mages hurriedly pleaded, hoping that Lin Jie would let them go.
It was not easy to get to Level 10. No one wanted to die after they changed jobs and finally had the ability to make money!
“Mission?” Lin Jie frowned.
“Brother Fu Sheng!”
A familiar voice rang out in the distance. Baili Changcheng held on to a fine sword and shouted, “How are you… oh WTF!”
The corpses all around the ground, coupled with the pleading players… Even fools would understand what happened.
Baili Changcheng drew in a sharp breath… 1
