Reborn: Super God of War Chapter 581

“Protect the rune formation!” exclaimed Venom Snake.

The Life Rune did not belong to the runes that existed within the game. In actual fact, even Rune Masters, such as Hardworking Pants, only had knowledge of a couple of hundreds of runes, and they were all basic runes.

Runes were just like the 26 letters of the alphabet as they could be mixed and matched up to form many words. The English language only had 26 letters, however, there were up to hundreds of basic runes. Thus, one could imagine the large number and variety of rune formations that could be born out of them! This was also one of the reasons many players did not want to step into that field.

Even in the other land, there was only a small number of people who researched the runes. And the Soul Formation was one of their most precious works to date. It was a powerful rune formation that was capable of reviving the dead!

Fierce Wolf ground his teeth as he used his rune-maker authority to pause the formation.

Some explanations regarding the rune formation: After forming a rune formation, it would enter operation mode immediately, and it couldn't be shifted and unloaded, unless the rune formation was destroyed. However, the rune creator would be able to pause the operation and transform it into an item. However, despite such efforts, the rune's powers would still deplete over time.

Fierce Wolf planned to pause the rune formation and keep it in his backpack.

“Soul Knights charge!” roared Venom Snake as he raised his long spear and produced nine duplicates of himself. They shrieked and wailed as they bolted towards Lin Jie!

“Death Grip!” Lin Jie disregarded it all as he grabbed onto Fierce Wolf's calves and vowed to destroy the rune formation! A thought occurred to Fierce Wolf as he activated the Explosion Hurl and shot his glaive out. He accurately calculated the distance and speed of Star Fall such that it would collide with the meteor!

At that moment, the Forward Charge Soul Paladin petrified Lin Jie for half a second, breaking his Death Grip!

Fierce Wolf tumbled and was about to grab the runes in his hands.

Screech—

A sharp screech sounded in his ears as a silvery light ray zapped across to capture the rune. It was the Crescent Silver-Feathered Eagle! It let out an excited shriek and perched happily onto Lin Jie's shoulder.

“Well done!” Lin Jie took the rune and praised, “It's a new rune? Rune formations are hard to innovate, and based on The New Age's record, it will take over ten years to create a new rune since the entire rune could fail if there was a single mistake in the arrangement. It's amazing that you guys were able to create a new rune that was related to life!”

Fierce Wolf growled, “You, what are you planning to do? If you are sensible, you will place the rune down. Otherwise—”

“Otherwise, what?” Lin Jie smiled.

“Otherwise, it will be treason!” Fierce Wolf was enraged. “Why do you think we are doing this?”

“I don't know, but I am not interested either. Contrary to that, I have a greater interest in you guys.” Lin Jie's mouth twitched as he didn't want to hear anymore, babbling about loyalty and patriotism. He whipped his Broken Blade and flicked the blade tip tauntingly as he laughed. “Let's fight? Both at once?”

Fierce Wolf fumed in anger. “Venom Snake, go! Instakill this arrogant boy!”

Fallen Blood General•Fierce Wolf! He was the most explosive player in the team, unlike the usual Berserkers that were dual-wielding, he only had one weapon, and that was the [Adma Glaive] that he carried on his back. Other than its powerful attributes, it had another additional effect.

[Adma Glaive]: When the duration between your current and previous attacks increases, the damage inflicted will also increase!

Taking this effect as his footing, he created a battle pattern for himself, known as Extreme Explosion!

“Streamline Step!” Fierce Wolf's feet shifted as he left behind a lifelike appearance on the spot. At the same time, his sharp sword grew brighter! This was Adma Glaive's additional effect, where the glaive was capable of absorbing its host's life to enhance all of its attributes! This was also one of the most highly sought after Berserker's skills—Autonomous Blood Loss! It was a skill that allowed for precise control of one's health points to unleash the strongest techniques.

Fierce Wolf unleashed Streamline Step, and his body grew illusory and translucent, while his doppelgangers were duplicated. With every new doppelganger, his blade shone brighter, emitting a Blade Aura that almost blinded the masses.

Blood Power! Heart of Enrage!

Blood pumped vigorously through Fierce Wolf's body as flurry noises sounded from his veins! It was the sound of intense blood hydraulic flow!

“Adma Judgement!” In a flash, Fierce Wolf landed behind Lin Jie and slashed his two-meters-long glaive down. The glaive shone bright gold as it exuded a powerful aura! The Adma Judgement was a mighty skill that possessed 100% Defense Disregard, and hence he had to succeed in one attack!

Venom Snake didn't idle as he probed his right hand forward and brought his left hand to his heart and growled, “Unbreakable Seal!”

[Unbreakable Seal], just as its name suggested, was unable to be lifted off! It would be cast at the cost of sealing the caster's skills. He knew that Lin Jie had Dark Chaotic Hole, so he wanted to seal off all of his special skills.

“Die!” growled Fierce Wolf as victory was right ahead, and he let out a cunning grin.

“Clomaros' Seven Kills•Death Ray Kill!”

Duang!

Fierce Wolf's attack did not have any effect as a shield covered Lin Jie.

-10,292! (Resisted)

“Wanna kill me?” Lin Jie sneered, but in his mind, he was shocked beyond words!

Indeed, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, despite being constrained by The New Age's system rules, these men were still extremely powerful! This was simply too appalling. Lin Jie would have been killed if he hadn't obtained the second kill out of Clomaros' Seven Kills—Death Ray Kill—from the Star Elves' Tomb!

“My turn!” Lin Jie shouted as he whipped his Broken Blade and unleashed Chaotic Wind Kill! Gale wind howled past the two experts, and their bodies were levitated. Lin Jie followed up with his Army Obliteration move!

“Brother, hold on!” At that moment, a green sword probed out from the far beyond and prodded Broken Blade, blocking down the first sword move of Army Obliteration.

“Who dares to stop me from killing?” Lin Jie's eyes grew frosty as his Broken Blade begun swiveling abruptly, knocking the green sword away with the large rotational force. The spinning blade even prodded into Fierce Wolf's and Venom Snake's armors like a drill, as it found its way to the latter's chest! Instakill! There was still one final sword move left for Army Obliteration, as Lin Jie shifted the sword edge and stabbed in Fierce Wolf's direction!

The figure that stopped Lin Jie finally revealed himself, and it turned out to be a well-groomed young chap. He was clad in white and held a green sword, presenting himself as a Niseko. His green sword leaned towards Broken Blade in an effort to halt its tracks as he exclaimed, “Brother, calm down, let's talk it out first!”

“Who are you?” Lin Jie was tyrannical as he activated Flame Boost. Fire sparked abruptly at the blade tip as he wielded Broken Blade towards Fierce Wolf's neck.

Die!

Fierce Wolf's head rolled down onto the ground and was transformed into four spinning runes. The same went for Venom Snake as he died and transformed into victory loot just like that.

“You! I wanted to work with you, but you just pushed us and the collaboration out of the door.” The young man in white smiled bitterly and helplessly. “You don't understand the meaning of amiability attracts riches.”

Lin Jie sneered. “Amiability attracts riches? Why didn't you guys think of that when you helped Eighteen Massacres to go against my Brotherhood and rule the city? Now you are telling me that? Let me show you what's amiability—I will send all of you illegal aliens back and slay Eighteen Massacres on top of that, that's amiability!”

“You are seriously thickheaded. I was unaware of those actions, and to be honest, we would not have been on such bad terms if you didn't destroy the teleportation circle.” The man in white said, “We are here this time round to recruit ten collaboration partners in total. Your Brotherhood, the Xuanyuan Alliance, and the Kingdom of Glory are ranked top three. My main motive here is to work with you.”

“Tell me your name first,” replied Lin Jie.

“My name is White Cloth, and I used this name in the battle teams as well, feel free to search it up.” White Cloth had a calm demeanor, which was a stark contrast to the previous players. “Originally, I planned to strike a deal with you. I would use an item of equal value in exchange for your Broken Blade and the lady's Book of The Age. However, you killed two of my men without reason, so I have to… slay you now.”

Lin Jie laughed eerily. “When all goes to all, you are still gonna kill and rob, right? Why did you even bother coming up with so many self-righteous reasons? I am here with my Broken Blade. If you want it, just kill me, and you can have it. If you aren't capable enough, I will be killing you and absorbing your runes.”

“You can't kill me. I possess the strongest defense, and if this drags on, when Eighteen Massacres leads the monsters to siege the city, you will lose as well.” White Cloth spoke calmly as though that would be the expected outcome. His tone angered Lin Jie immensely.

Lin Jie had deduced the identity of the man in front of him.

Previously, when the system released the six Bosses, there had only been five names. Lin Jie always thought that it was because he had slain Falcon! However, he recalled that a total of seven people had escaped from the teleportation circle! So, where had the last one been until now?

He was here!

The man in front of him was the seventh person, White Cloth! Nobody knew where he had been hiding—he had probably been investigating the land's secrets or doing something else.

And now, he stood in front of him with the confidence that killing him would not require much effort!

“Berserker's 100 Consecutive Strikes!” Lin Jie planned to crush him to death with his strongest attack!
