Chapter 335: Eighteen Massacres, Die!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“10 gold coins? Really?”
“If you really pay up, we will die immediately without hesitation!”
Several Level 27 and 28 Mages with subpar equipment howled. After getting Eighteen Massacres’ confirmation, three of them rushed up to attract the fire and were stamped to death.
‘Idiots.’ The Eighteen Massacres laughed to himself, coldly.
The three Mages that had been after the rewards found out after their death that their souls had not left. Instead, their souls seemed to be under the ‘Soul Trap’ technique! If they were unable to release their souls within 30 minutes, they would not be able to be revived, unless the Holy Priest’s Revival Spell was minimally 2 levels higher than the spell caster! Currently, the highest available level of the Revival Spell was only level 2, who else had any solutions to untrap the soul?
“Oh no, we got scammed! Hurry, let’s inform the others...”
“Okay, I am sending the voice message right now.”
Ding~
Mission notice: You have been kicked out of the team!
“You are currently in a special state, and currently unable to contact the outside world.”
The system prompt messages flashed, but they were not noticeable amongst the countless other battle prompt messages. Hence, no one even took note of it.
Eighteen Massacres’ Blood Token rapidly absorbed the souls of the three Mages. Night Walk of 100 Ghosts had to collect 100 souls in order to release the power of the Blood Token! Eighteen Massacres’ Blood Token was an item gifted by the Blood Sub-Shrine, similar to Lin Jie’s Bone Membrane Armor. The token only had an effect during the mission period and was able to absorb the souls of players or monsters’ to boost its power.
In reality, the Blood Token had 2 effects.
Blood Absorption: For every unit killed, its attributes would be added on to yours.
Soul Sacrificial Ritual: When you have absorbed a unit’s soul and caused it to enter Soul Trap State, if it’s unable to revive within 30 minutes, it would be superimposed to the soul layers. When you have reached the 500th layer, you would be able to summon the Vice Shrine Master to fight alongside you.
This was Eighteen Massacres’ real motive! He was going to kill all these players to summon the Vce Shrine Master! This was the only method that would give him the confidence to complete the mission.
Even until now, he was ignorant of the fact that his opponent was once again, Lin Jie! It really made one wonder what kind of fate had resulted in them always receiving the opposite missions.
The attacks of the Earth Giants grew violent. Initially, their attack methods were relatively simple. [Wield] and [Earthquake] were group skills, but with slow attack speed, it was not hard to avoid them. However, when the Earth Giants devoured other elements and converted them to Earth Elements’ lackeys, everything became chaotic.
Previously, the most unpleasant aspect of the Overlord had been its ability to summon a great number of lackeys. Initially, when there had been an absence of Earth Element, the Overlord’s advantages had not been fully shown. However, now that the Overlord possessed the Earth Elements, it placed this disgusting guy’s advantages in full glory!
As hundreds of tiny giants appeared, the Earth Giants’ health points returned rapidly, and they even blasted out attacks such as [Storm Corona], [Dirt Earth], [Earth Sector], etc. These elite-level lackeys became energized instantly, coupled with their insanely-high Defense and decent Attack, they killed hundreds of Eighteen Massacres’ team members in an instant.
“Boss, we cannot let this continue!” exclaimed Small Melon. “Our output can no longer keep up with the Overlord’s healing rate!”
Eighteen Massacres took a breathe and growled. “Continue killing! After you guys die, I will give you your reimbursements.”
The Black Eyes’ leader, called Seven Feet Mountain, howled. “Where is the money you promised? Why are all the teammates kicked out after they die? And why are their corpses still here, unable to be revived?”
“What! We will be kicked out of the team after we die?”
“Let me see... There were a total of 80 people kicked out of the team, what is going on?”
“These people did not seem to release their souls, and cannot be revived, what kind of shitty mission is this? Maybe this guy was the culprit of all these!”
In that instant, everyone was disturbed!
Everyone had come for the money, and now that they had heard that they would not be able to get the coins and might even have to lose a level of experience, everyone no longer had the same goal. Thus, chaos ensued in the team. At that moment, the Earth Giants took the chance and blasted an earthquake attack that covered a span of 100 yards. Nearly 200 people were jolted into the sky, and countless +3,000 damage values appeared above their heads.
No one, other than the Blood Bull Shield Specialists, was able to take this kind of damage.
Among those people, there were only 2 Shield Specialists and the infamous Shield Specialists team Invincible had not been hired by Eighteen Massacres.
“Hmph, a bunch of rabble without any team spirit.” Eighteen Massacres disbanded the team in a fit of ‘rage,’ and everyone grew unsettled as the prompt messages began sounding in their ears. The Earth Giant’s lackeys swarmed up and killed another 100 players!
After a round of havoc, there were already 456 souls collected in the Blood Token!
“Black Eye, release your Magic Flame Armor to defend us for a moment, let us kill this damned guy!” Everyone was full of hatred as they realized that they have been scammed.
“Darn it! You dare to scam me? I am gonna make you shed a layer skin!”
Seven Feet Mountain was miserable. “Damn it, I wanted to release it as well!”
After losing the Combined Formation Map, Black Eyes had been unable to release the Magic Flame Armor, how could they even provide defense?
Eighteen Massacres sneered as he looked down upon the masses. He was going to personally send all these employed players to hell!
“Hunters, use misdirection and let the monsters attack him!”
“F*ck, the Hunters are all dead!”
Eighteen Massacres had received plenty of benefits after entering the Blood Sub-Shrine, and amongst those benefits was a skill known as [Death Aura], which had a cooldown period of up to a day. Once it was activated, it would not produce any aggro within a minute! Eighteen Massacres had already taken ‘care’ of the Hunters, who were the only ones able to add to the aggro—all of them were dead! Thus, Eighteen Massacres was invincible.
“After killing these people, I can summon the Vice Shrine Master and then kill the Earth Giants, forming the complete Mara Armor. Everything will be mine after I manipulate the Vice Shrine Master to complete the mission!” said Eighteen Massacres evilly. “Those idiots that joined the Dark Shrine still treat it as though joining a mildly dark team is part of a mission? Foolish! They should have the awareness of being against every other player. What’s the point of killing monsters in order to collect souls? How can the speed of collecting souls from killing players be matched by killing monsters?”
Swoosh!
Countless souls filled the sky and were absorbed by Eighteen Massacres, while the blood vigor grew in intensity. The Blood Token reflected a partial bulk of the attributes to Eighteen Massacres after sucking in the souls.
Eighteen Massacres turned his target to the surviving Black Eyes Guild and Small Melon’s team. He broke into a smile while the Seven Style Spear glimmered and grew multi-folds in size, and a pike flew out like a cannon!
Dark Pike Spike!
An Area-of-Effect skill, which was able to cause the target 65% damage and disregard 30% of the target’s Defense.
This skill’s attack could not compare to the basic Warriors’ Whirlwind Area-of-Effect skill, and its attack region was a rectangular shape instead of a circular one. However, these could be compensated by the skill’s disregard of 30% of the target’s Defense.
However, all these were unimportant, the point was, the remaining health points of the surviving players were insufficient to withstand Eighteen Massacres’ attack. Once they got hit by this attack, it would be the end! Then, Eighteen Massacres would absorb the souls and summon the Vice Shrine Master!
“Hmph, Eighteen Massacres, you want to kill them? You have to get past me first! Holy Light Winged Armor! Enchanted Scaly Armor!”
A glimmer flashed, and Lin Jie, who was encapsulated by the radiance of both the Holy Light and Enchanted Armor, landed from the sky, chest raised and took on Eighteen Massacres’ attack.
Lin Jie had rushed over and seen when Eighteen Massacres had betrayed and started slaying the rest. Although Lin Jie had not known of the exact details, however, linking back to the way Eighteen Massacres had absorbed the souls and how the Dark Shrine had always been like, these were all treacherous acts. Lin Jie was right in stopping him, there were also other benefits in saving those people. Hence, Lin Jie had appeared only at the zero hour to stop him. In order to stop Eighteen Massacres, Lin Jie’s ability had been boosted to the max as he had prepared to shoulder the full attack.
-99!
A taunting number jumped out—It did not even exceed the two digits place!
With the simultaneous endorsement from the Holy Light Winged Armor and Enchanted Scaly Armor, Lin Jie’s Defense was even higher than Elite Shield Specialists. Also, Eighteen Massacres’ skill could only cause 65% of damage, even though it disregarded 30% of Defense, so it was unable to deal Lin Jie much damage.
Lin Jie stood in front of the crowd as though he was Ares, the God of War. He stood with such aura as though he alone would be able to hold back all the enemies!
The scenario of him killing the crowd with just one move did not occur as what Eighteen Massacres had expected. Instead, this Warrior had blocked him, and Eighteen Massacres Damage Dealt was a pathetic 99 value. What was even more annoying was that this person was—Lin! Jie! Again!
Eighteen Massacres was so angry that he almost spat fire as he growled. “You again, you again! Lone Wolf, you are really an inexorable ghost! Why do I bump into you wherever I go?”
Lin Jie ignored his hysteric yells as a gleam of mockery shone in his eyes. Eighteen Massacres was obviously afraid of him. “You can only blame yourself for finding trouble out of nothing. Nothing would have happened if you just stayed obediently in your Dark Shrine.”
What Lin Jie said, shocked everybody!
“Dark Shrine! This guy is a player from the Dark Shrine! That place is filled with Zombies, Undead, and Spirits, just like the hell world on television! Who in their right mind would want to stay there?”
“It was said that Dark Shrine players can consume the Dark Holy Water to increase their attributes, it would be normal if they joined to strengthen themselves. But this guy... He is called Lone Wolf? Codename Lone Wolf?”
“Brotherhood’s Leader! I’ve seen him battle in the City of Light before! He was wearing the 6 Winged Armor covered in scales and held a broken blade. Although there are some changes in how he looks now, this is undoubtedly Lone Wolf!”
Small Melon and the others were stunned, wasn’t that fellow their previous employer?
Black Eyes was surprised as well. His eyes goggled as he was unsure of how to face Lin Jie.
“Don’t be in a daze, hurry, settle the current situation first! Small Melon, hold this Combined Formation Scroll and unleash the Magic Flame Armor with your teammates to block the Earth Giants’ attack. Black Eyes, if you do not want to lose your levels and equipment just like that, fight!” Lin Jie howled as he threw the scroll, which landed in the hands of Small Melon and his team.
The team glanced at each other, then nodded their heads and proceeded to stand on 6 different positions. They were not dumb, as they took off the cloth armors they had on and equipped the armors that they had been rewarded from the mission, to boost the Magic Flame Armor’s defense powers.
There were still a dozen more people remaining, some from the Black Eyes, some from other unnamed guilds.
“Black Eyes, throw away your Toxic Powder and pick 3 of your strongest men, I will give you guys a Fire Crystal each, this is the best channeling material. Unleash Pyroblast and destroy him!”
Then Lin Jie then threw out 3 Fire Crystals. Although these were rare materials, nothing was more important than killing Eighteen Massacres. Lin Jie’s Ancient Wilderness Curse had already reached Level 18, and he was left with 1 slot to kill—More killings would result in a level drop.
One level could take 3-4 days or even a week’s time! Unless he found an unexplored map filled with Enhanced Elites like Midolhaar, he would be unable to level up so quickly.
“Kill Eighteen Massacres first!”
Seven Feet Mountain gave the order, and the 3 Mages broke the Fire CrystalS immediately, and vigorous balls of fire elements emerged. Within half a second, they merged to form intense fireballs the size of a human head. This was the Enhanced Fire Explosion Spell!
Lin Jie crossed his arms as he smiled coldly. “Eighteen Massacres, die!”
