Chapter 435 - 435 Eighteen Massacres Was Buried
435 Eighteen Massacres Was Buried
“Golden Armor Set” Lin Jie was slightly shocked.
Currently, the equipment that players wore were all Bronze Sets or a mix of Gold and Silver equipment. If one was equipped with a Silver Set, then that person could already count as one of the better players.
A Gold Armor Set was really the real best out of the best, its price was extremely high. Who would have thought that the Sun Ruins would drop a Gold Armor Set? If one whole set could be gathered, then it could be sold for quite a sum of money!
“You take it, treat it as compensation since you took the time to come with me.” Eighteen Massacres generously threw the equipment to Lin Jie. He said nonchalantly, “My main aim is the inheritance within the ruin. If I can successfully obtain it, then all is well.”
“Inheritance? What is it about?”
“When I obtained the Sun Demonic Sword and learned the Sun Swordsmanship, I obtained an item, [Key of Willpower], it would release a mission every day, and I can obtain additional skill proficiency after completing the mission.” Eighteen Massacres took out the small and exquisite Fire Key and continued, “Ten days ago, I obtained the coordinates of the Sun Ruins, so I hurriedly rushed here. If I could obtain the inheritance within the ruins, it would be able to increase my skill proficiency greatly, and there also seemed to be a treasure.”
Lin Jie knowingly nodded his head, then he smiled and said, “Since it was so, how about we decide the distribution? Equipment and materials dropped would be all mine while all the items regarding your Sun Swordsmanship would be yours, how does that sound?”
Eighteen Massacres laughed heartily. “You really are straightforward, shouldn’t you at least pretend to be courteous? No matter what, we are collaboration partners.”
“I am always straightforward, as a member of Brotherhood, I accept mercenary missions. It would only be weird if you, the employer, did not give commission,” said Lin Jie in a sardonic tone. He then swung his Broken Blade and continued moving forward to explore.
A shred of disdain flashed in Eighteen Massacres’ eyes, his loathe towards Lin Jie grew even more. ‘It’s already unknown as to how much wealth you have in the game and you actually still care about a trivial commission? Compared to Lone Wolf, although Baili Xuanyuan is much more arrogant and domineering, he is at least not stingy.’
The Sun Ruins was extremely large, the peripheral was filled with Sun Guardian Giants with attributes that were quite good, but when faced with Lin Jie and Eighteen Massacres, it was simply a one-sided slaughter. In less than two hours, they gradually cleared the path and arrived in front of a layer of light veil.
Ding~
—’You’ve reached Level 44. You have received 5 Free Stat Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points.’
Golden light shone on Lin Jie, his level was finally raised from Level 43, and he became first on the Rankings Board temporarily. However, since Domestic Fat Cattle and Wantless had separated, they had started to farm their levels crazily. They competed with each other, always ready to overtake the other, which made one amazed at the leveling up speed of those two Mages.
There were up to a hundred Elite Giants, but not even a complete set of Fiery Wind was dropped. Lin Jie temporarily lacked a Breastplate, so he had no choice but to wait till they continued exploring the map to see if he could complete the set.
In front of him was a vast veil of light.
Fiery wind and blazing flames were roaring violently. The vast veil of light was like an impregnable fortress that could not be broken through.
“There is a weird stone there, it should be the item to open the light veil.” Eighteen Massacres pointed to his left. There was a stone the size of a mountain peak with various fire runes, Flame Demons, and Fiery Wind Wings carved on it.
Lin Jie’s eyes shone brightly, with Identify, the attributes of the stone were instantly revealed—
[Fiery Wind Giant Leader] (Gold Boss)
Level: 45
Health Points: 450,000
Attack: 1,200-1,500
Defense: 800
Special Feature: Deep Sleep, Petrified Body.
The Boss guarding the peripheral was already a fearsome living creature of Level 45. Then it would be obvious as to how frightening the monsters inside would be. Lin Jie sized up that huge runestone and said, “That Boss’ body is too huge, its turning speed should be slow so we will stand at the two sides of the Boss and cooperate. We will try to kill it without injuries since we did not bring Priests. If we die here, it would be troublesome.”
Eighteen Massacres knowingly nodded his head. He was an expert too, so once he saw such a Giant-type living creature, the first thing he thought was the same thing as Lin Jie.
That method was called “aggro box out spot,” it was different from the normal method of using the terrain. Aggro box out spot required the monster’s Attack Speed or turning speed to be slow so that the two people could stand opposite of one another and both attract aggro. That would cause the Boss’ attacking target to switch between the two of them continuously and be unable to attack.
Lin Jie and Eighteen Massacres were both experts, but to really cooperate and carry out the method, the difficulty was high. Not to mention normal players who couldn’t even accurately calculate aggro.
“Blade Aura!”
They turned thoughts into actions, Lin Jie released a Blade Aura as he swung his sword and the body of the Giant Leader trembled. The gravel and soil that fell from the Boss’ body were like a mudslide! The large and clumsy body made of boulders slowly stood up and revealed its limbs and head...
Eighteen Massacres stood opposite Lin Jie and instantly used Sun Blade Aura to attract aggro.
The Giant Leader’s eyes instantly shone with blood-red flames. It raised its fists up high and as if it were a meteor falling and smashed towards Eighteen Massacres! However, the time the Giant Leader took to gather the attack was too long. Eighteen Massacres took the chance during that period to immediately stop attacking while Lin Jie, on the other hand, pulled out his Broken Blade and slashed continuously. The Giant Leader’s body was instantly sliced into powder and stone dust, which were scattered in the sky.
-847!
-896!
-1,584!
-1,596!
The Giant Leader’s Defense was extremely high, and with its special feature of Petrified Body, the reduction of physical damage was to an astonishing degree where even Lin Jie would not be able to deal much damage. However, that attack transferred the aggro to Lin Jie, and he controlled his Damage Dealt to only be higher by 2% than Eighteen Massacres. Although the difference was small, it was enough to make the Giant Leader change its attacking target.
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The ground trembled as the Giant Leader clumsily moved its body and locked on its aggro to Lin Jie. It gathered its attack and was about to smash down towards Lin Jie.
Sea King Scaly Armor, Holy Light Winged Armor!
Lin Jie shook his back, and two wings appeared. He did not trust Eighteen Massacres if that guy dared to make a cheap shot during the Boss battle, then he would immediately kill Eighteen Massacres!
Eighteen Massacres leaped up high, his Seven Style Spear transformed into a Giant Axe that was burning with scorching flames. He sliced it towards the Giant Leader’s back and dealt 1,854 points of damage.
Eighteen Massacres had learned Sun Swordsmanship, which had an advantage over these monsters, so his damage was much greater than Lin Jie.
“Very good.” Lin Jie nodded and smiled. As the Giant Leader changed its target, its attack was interrupted and could only turn back once again. When the Boss attacked Eighteen Massacres, Lin Jie would instantly repeat the same actions and attract the aggro.
The two of them were experts, so they kept the aggro steadily at around a fixed value where both of them could easily change the Boss’ aggro target. That made the Boss’ powerful attributes to be of no use, and its health bar kept on decreasing—it was about to drop below 20%!
Boom—
The Giant Leader suddenly broke free of aggro, it stood upright at its original spot and waved its hands.
“Be careful, the Boss is about to release an ultimate skill!” shouted Eighteen Massacres.
Countless boulders actually fell from the sky! That was the Giant Leader’s skill in Enraged Mode, [Meteor Shower]. It summoned meteors to deal damage to surrounding targets and lasted for 5 minutes.
Lin Jie raised his head and saw that it was as if the clouds were all covered by the boulders. There were only small gaps between the boulders, so wanting to dodge them was also extremely difficult. Also, the grade of these boulders was quite high, so even weapons wouldn’t be able to break them easily.
“Wild Charge!”
Lin Jie looked for the space between two boulders and accurately dashed towards where it was. It was as if his figure had become a bolt of black lightning, he moved through the boulders. There was even a huge aura in the shape of a dragon’s head gathered in his right hand. He then smashed it towards the Boss brutally.
Dragon Armor Removal, the Boss’ Defense was reduced to zero!
“Clomaros’ Kill!”
Lin Jie jumped up high and raised his Broken Blade, the sword ray nearly pierced through the sky! The golden Greatsword light ray enveloped the Broken Blade, and with a vigorous swing, Lin Jie had chopped the Giant Leader’s body into two like cutting tofu. Wherever the Broken Blade had sliced, the surface was actually as smooth as a disk.
-42,102! (Critical Hit)
Lin Jie did not activate Sea King Scaly Armor, Heart of Enrage, and Death Rage, but he still dealt 40,000 points of damage with Clomaros’ Kill. Being with Eighteen Massacres was like asking a tiger for its hide. Eighteen Massacres was untrustworthy, so of course, he had to leave some trump cards. Otherwise, if Eighteen Massacres took the chance to deal the last blow to Lin Jie, then all would be over.
No matter what, one should not let their guard down! After Lin Jie was reborn, his mindset had already changed long ago, he had become extremely rational. No matter what Eighteen Massacres did, he would always be on guard.
After Clomaros’ Kill, a huge cut was opened in the Giant Leader’s body. Lin Jie’s pushed his legs onto the boulder that fell from the sky and leaped up. He instantly spread out his Holy Light Winged Armor and glided towards the Boss at an extremely fast pace. His Broken Blade released Blade Auras, which were shot straight into the Boss’ injury. Then, consecutive strike numbers popped up from the tip of the Boss’ head, Combo Attack had been triggered! Blood droplets that had a dull color were absorbed out from within the Giant Leader’s body.
After realizing the importance of Combo Attack, Lin Jie had started practicing it crazily. Character Z’s performance had already made Lin Jie feel endangered!
-1,247!
-1,325!
The life blood droplets produced by Combo Attack were converted into Lin Jie’s Attack Power, which allowed his damage output to increase rapidly. One strike, two strikes, three strikes... Lin Jie found the rhythm for Combo Attack yet again, that type of feeling for Combo Attack.
The dangerous meteors that fell from the sky were like snowflakes here to set off Lin Jie. Lin Jie’s attacking rhythm was smooth like running water, with an elegant turn sideways, he handsomely dodged the alarming danger of being pincered within two boulders.
‘It is this feeling!’
Positioning, Combo Attack!
Lin Jie was totally focused, his mind was highly concentrated, and thus the swinging of his Broken Blade became smoother without stopping at all. The Boss’ health points decreased rapidly until only the last shred of health bar was left, struggling to hang on.
“Shield Cut!”
-6,522! (Critical Hit)
Lin Jie unleashed all the power within his hands, and the Giant Leader’s gigantic body instantly flew away, landing on the ground as scattered boulders!
Consecutive strike: 42!
‘Looks like I still need a long time of practice to be able to surpass 50.’ Lin Jie carefully recalled the Combo Attack just now, there was obviously a gap between attacks, that was due to his attacks not linking together smoothly. He could now quite steadily ensure that his Combo Attack was above 40, but to exceed 50 was a difficult task.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the Giant Leader died, the meteors also lost the strength that was supporting them and dropped from the sky crazily. Eighteen Massacres was unable to dodge them in time, and with a scream, he was directly buried within.
“Oh? This is?” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. There were two items that shone brightly beside the Giant Leader’s corpse. One of them was a quaint shield made of stone.
