Chapter 482: Chapter 262: The Female Holy Knight’s ’Rhinoceros Earth Dragon’_1
Without a word, Yin Linlin flung her white glove in front of the bewildered man.
Like a white dye dissolving in clear water, her glove instantaneously transformed the ground into a pure white dueling space, encompassing both of them within its ever-expanding boundaries...
The sheriff’s uniform she wore vanished, replaced by full-body heavy metal plate armor.
The bright silver armor bore intricate magical arrays, composed of elemental characters; it provided remarkable physical defense and a considerable resistance to magic.
A tower shield, even taller than her shell, manifested in her left hand, impervious like a solid iron fortress.
In her right hand appeared a small war hammer radiating a milky white holy light. The light flickered, healing the wounds of its wielder and causing considerable magic damage to the heretics.
The fierce female magic warrior fully geared in armor played a short flute, summoning a tawny Rhinoceros Earth Dragon bearing a rhinoceros horn on its head.
The huge dragon, with its thick, sturdy legs, lying on the ground resembled a fully-loaded truck. Its breath carried a strong smell of blood and its eyes were filled with a desire for slaughter.
The female warrior mounted the dragon and, in an instant, transformed into a true paladin.
She looked at the man called Lin Xun, an apostle who had instantly entered combat mode when stepping into the dueling space, without hesitation manifested a tall, slender shell.
His shell was covered with a pitch-black cloak and his face bore a demon mask, making it impossible to discern his features.
But the two eccentric magic staffs he held revealed that his shell was that of a fragile wizard.
Yin Linlin shook her head privately, pointed forward with her holy light hammer, and prompted her Rhinoceros Earth Dragon to charge with an unstoppable momentum.
Before the two entered the dueling space, they were quite close to each other and still were.
The summoned beast ’The Rhinoceros Earth Dragon’ could squish him with one charge. The wizard wouldn’t even have time to chant a spell before he got trampled into a bloody pulp.
Yi Linlin’s shell was exceptionally strong, invincible amongst all the armed groups in Hang City. She was a renowned figure in the Heavenly Punishment Squad.
Nobody, except a level-six apostle, could defeat her in a head-on duel, not even a slightly weaker level-six apostle stood a chance!
If you think that Li Xingyue enlisted her as an apostle just to favor her best friend, then you’d be greatly mistaken!
The shell of the female paladin was not only great in direct combat but also had inherent excellent endurance for drawn-out battles. The ’Rhinoceros Earth Dragon’ beneath her was a ferocious beast of war, capable of mowing down legions with a single charge.
When dealing with defensive Chapters like ’Heavenly Demon Invasion’ that had numerous monsters, her shell thrived!
It’s a pity, even with a single weak apostle, the elite squad still had fair chances of clearing. But if you had two weak apostles, things got iffy.
Yin Linlin didn’t want to gamble because if she lost, she would face game penalties. It’s better to go home and enjoy leave.
"Boom."
The Rhinoceros Earth Dragon, like a siege chariot, was unstoppable in its charge and was about to crush the feeble wizard shell to death.
Yin Linlin found it hard to look directly, and her mind couldn’t help but recall the joke of ’Killed by a mudslide car, reincarnated in a different world’.
"Just don’t let him reincarnate as a magical girl."
But then, the fragile wizard shell lifted its head, and from beneath the demon mask, strange eerie eyes stared back.
Her Rhinoceros Earth Dragon abruptly halted, the sudden interruption almost threw Yin Linlin off.
She tried again to command the Rhinoceros Earth Dragon but the usually obedient creature only rolled its eyes, making no move.
Being experienced in PK, she knew that she had encountered rare control skills.
"No wonder this Lin Xun didn’t chant a spell, just waited for my charge, seems like he does have some tricks up his sleeve."
Yin Linlin raised her holy light hammer and activated her shell’s ability ’Holy Light Blessing’!
This Epic+ level ability could dispel abnormal states. The effect of this ability persisted, resisting all negative states during its duration.
A milky white holy light descended from the sky, enveloping the female paladin and the Rhinoceros Earth Dragon. Bathed in holy light, the paladin seemed inviolable.
However, the Rhinoceros Earth Dragon kept rolling its eyes, showing no sign of shaking off the control.
Yin Linlin’s face turned pale. There was only one reason for the dispelling skill to fail - the enemy’s controlling skill was of a higher grade than her dispelling skill!
Normally, a shell can only perform its skill across half a grade at most.
If a shell is equipped with mythical-grade equipment or learned a mythical-grade skill, but the shell itself is of Ruined+ grade, then at most it can only perform at the Ordinary level for both equipment and skill.
That is to say, the man in front of her has an Epic+ level skill and his shell’s grade is at least Epic level!
Yin Linlin’s guess was pretty accurate, but she didn’t know that under Lin Xun’s talent, the shell of the Direct View Association’s chairperson has reached Epic+ grade. He even learned the Legendary-grade skill ’Starlight’!
What she knew even less was, even if she learned a dispelling skill of the same level, she wouldn’t be able to dispel the control effect of ’Pleasure Smoke Vision’.
Because this skill incorporates a Knowledge attribute bonus which was simply a dimensionality reduction attack on ordinary apostles.
Unless her dispelling skill is not below Epic+ level, with a significant amount of special attribute bonuses, then no matter how many times she uses ’Holy Light Blessing’, it would be in vain.
Suddenly, the feeble wizard looked at her, and from beneath the demon mask, an eerie eye caught hers.
An indescribable pleasure flooded her body, her hair stood on end, and she got goosebumps. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and lost all control of her shell...
The pleasing sensation flooded her over and over, and then receded over and over. Yin Linlin only wished that this feeling could continue until the end of the world.
When she came back to her senses, she had returned to her office.
With her cheeks still flushed, she was still savoring the afterglow of pleasure, her eyes looking at Lin Xun with a new meaning.
Lin Xun calculated the control duration of ’Pleasure Smoke Vision’ this time, finding it much shorter than when he controlled the ’schoolyard bully’ last time.
This should be due to the female paladin’s dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, as the strength of the enemy’s spirit could affect the control duration of the Pleasure Smoke Vision.
Because the female paladin had a strong spirit, it does not result in a social death event as was the case with the ’schoolyard bully’, a blushed face and rolling eyes were the normal control effects.
"So, are you convinced now?"
Li Xingyue crossed her arms, her black OL uniform highlighting her prosperous and bountiful figure.
Ignoring her best friend’s teasing, Yin Linlin came directly to Lin Xun and held out a hand, "Our previous sparring was just friendly competition to better understand each other’s abilities and skills for subsequent team raids."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Yin Linlin, from the Hang City Armed Group, also serving as Heavenly Punishment..."
"Let’s be book friends!"
Yi Linlin is very strong, her Rhinoceros Earth Dragon Summon alone is enough to be drafted into a raid team, let alone the fact that she can both fight and heal due to her body’s dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
Lin Xun looked at his female superior, asking with his eyes: Can we rely on this person?
After receiving a positive answer, Lin Xun took out his phone and he and Yin Linlin added each other as book friends.
The originally fierce female paladin even exchanged Guardian Bookmarks with Lin Xun, although it’s likely Lin Xun won’t need her help to resist invasions.
He occasionally encounters invasions by newbie Apostles, and at the most, they are of difficulty level three, PK is purely about harassing the weak, and there’s not much fun in it.
Li Xingyue arranged for the two to rest and wait, and the other two elite Apostles would arrive in Wencheng in the afternoon.
In reality, you don’t necessarily need to meet offline to form a team in the game, you can just create an online group, connect and discuss strategy on a conference call.
However, the two elite Apostles insisted on meeting offline when they heard that there was a great expert participating in this team raid, and wanted to get to know him.
In future, if they need to form a team raid, they can also invite this expert.
-----------------
In the meeting room, seven ’Star Lords’ had already gathered.
Four men and three women, four Apostles from Wencheng, including Wang Zong and Lu Caiyi, and three elite Apostles who had come from other places to assist.
Originally, the two newly arrived elite Apostles had doubts about Lin Xun’s strength, but after hearing Yin Linlin’s colorful description, they quickly joined the unified front.
Li Xingyue turned on the projector and began explaining the pre-battle preparations.
First, they had to decide which palace to defend. They had to consider not only the effects of the additional statuses, but also the strength of the Apostles, and who was situated next to whom for easier mutual support.
Next, the elite Apostles needed to exchange information about their Shells and their skills, in order to understand each other’s strengths and plan their tactics.
Lastly, they had to analyze the strength of the first three waves of the Heavenly Demon and the strategies to deal with them.
The official Apostles were far more experienced in forming a team than the grassroots Apostles, one was like a guild formed under an organization, while the other was more like a wild team gathered randomly.
After an hour of discussion and exchange, they finally settled on an attack plan.
Everyone agreed without objection that Lin Xun should guard the first palace, the Heavenly Pivot Palace, the Greedy Wolf Star.
Seeing everything ready, Lin Xun entered the game to begin the Easter egg Chapter.
[You have entered the Easter Egg Chapter.]
[Chapter 8715, Seven Star Guardians!]
[A powerful Wandering Soul awakens beside the Demon Suppression Stele...]
[You are inhabiting the ’Shell’ of the ’Chairman of the Direct View Association who seeks knowledge!’]
[You touch the ancient Demon Suppression Stele, radiating divine thought in all directions, calling out to the distant six Star Lords...]
[Apostle ’Star Glass’ responds to the summons!]
[Apostle ’Little White Deer’ responds to the summons!]
[Apostle ’Glorious Battle Wolf’ responds to the summons!]
[Apostle ’Wind chime is ringing’ responds to the summons!]
[Apostle...]
[Six powerful Star Lords of different appearances were summoned by you, arriving here from the stars!]
[Seven stars gathered, washing away the Heavenly Demons, shining upon the world...]
[The Seal’s strength of the Demon Suppression Altar is gradually waning, and Heavenly Demons will surge out from the altar soon. Please quickly select a palace for defense, to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demons!]
At the arrival of the Heavenly Demons, the ’Rest Page’ near the Demon Suppression Stele will be invalid and will not be able to heal the Shells, and the teleport function will be disabled.
During the invasion, if an Apostle dies, they will directly be reborn at the last revival point, and cannot teleport back in until the invasion ends.
This means that once an Apostle dies, a palace falls.
Moreover, the Apostles defending the palaces on either side also have to deal with more Heavenly Demon monsters, the effect of this chain reaction is extremely terrifying.
