Chapter 386: Killing the Corporal

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

[Glorious Cremation]: It can only be used when the Sun Possession skill is activated. You will end the Sun Possession state and cause 270% damage to all enemies within the area of 60 meters. Your enemies will also suffer Burn effects. If your target is already burnt, there will be double Burn effects stacked upon him or her. The Glorious Cremation Skill can result in eight consecutive Damage Dealt per time.

Glorious Cremation was a skill with effects akin to Restricted Curses, and it could deal out eight Damage Dealt each time! Even if it did not have the Burn effects, it could still cause a horrific damage volume 21 times as much as other skills! With the stacked Burn effects, the damage caused to the opponents would just be more. Coupled with the Corporal's powerful attributes, this skill alone would be able to kill several Lin Jies at the same time.

The burning flames were like a blood-red lily in full bloom, and it blasted out towards the surroundings! Laney, who was hovering in mid-air, couldn't resist the attack and let out a suffocated cough. Heat rushed towards his innards from all his limbs, and he felt as if he was being burnt alive!

-2,837!

-2,947!

-5,837!

-5,829!

A long chain of terrifying Damage Dealt popped up from the Sea Mage's head! Meanwhile, Mohamed stood on the plains, wearing a savage expression and scanning around the place for Lin Jie's whereabouts. Although he had acted impulsively due to fury, he had not forgotten his main motive for this trip—which was to kill the darned human being from the alternate realms! Since that supposedly 'Sea Mage' was already attacked by his Glorious Cremation, he would be dead, if not crippled. There was no need to care about him anymore.

Lin Jie's figure was revealed to him slowly. He was standing somewhere not far apart.

“You, die!” Mohamed jumped up high in the air, and raising his sword, he slashed it down upon Lin Jie, determined to instakill him!

Although Lin Jie had moved out of the Glorious Cremation's AOE just now, remember that Mohamed's Sun Swordsmanship was able to manipulate flames. It wasn't difficult for him to attach some of the Glorious Cremation's powers on his sword and hence kill Lin Jie at a go.

Lin Jie revealed a smile, but his eyes were fixed on another area—the Sea Mage was now being tortured by the Glorious Cremation skill, and there was pale blue vapor rising up from his body. He was gnashing his teeth in hatred, as if too furious to believe that he would be defeated by a mere human being. Meanwhile, he made up a series of complicated hand gestures, and one could see the word 'Escape' appearing faintly.

'This loser, he's thinking of escaping again?'

“How can I let you have your wish! Death Grip, bring him here!” Lin Jie stuck out his right arm, and a pale purplish line condensed from his arm to form a pair of gigantic hands. This pair of hands looked as if it was being combined from thousands of rotting corpses' arms, and they gave off cold, decaying vibes that sent shivers down people's backs! One of the hands gripped tightly onto Laney's collar, and with a great tug, it dragged him to the spot before Lin Jie!

Dragon's Roar!

A loud Dragon's roar was heard from the hilt of Broken Blade. The Sea Mage was stunned and fainted straightaway—his body was now Lin Jie's best human shield! At the same time, Mohamed had arrived with the remnant prowess of the Glorious Cremation skill. His greatsword slashed down, but it hit Laney instead!

-5,736!

-5,517!

Laney already had the 'Burn' effect on his body, and now the doubling Burn effects of the Glorious Cremation skill was activated too. His health bar dipped, and it was about to be emptied! At this moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood. It was dark-bluish in color, and instead of being sticky, it seemed quite clear like the seawater.

This was his Blood Essence! This mouthful of blood spatted out by Laney would be equivalent to ten plus years of his efforts at leveling up—in other words, he was throwing away his hard-earned Stats!

“Rise of Poseidon!” the Sea Mage let out a desperate cry. His Blood Essence exploded as if being struck by thunder, forming a thick mist. Amidst the mist, one could see a gigantic Poseidon the size of a mountain appear! He had a human torso, fish's tail, and dragon's claws. Wielding a trident, he stared down coldly at Lin Jie, and struck out at him!

—Battle prompt message: Sea Mage Laney used the skill [Rise of Poseidon], and is Invincible for the next two seconds. He will cause 400% Armor Ignore damage to his target, and any skills below the Sub-Legendary level will be judged as ineffective.

'It's the Rise of Poseidon skill!'

This skill was at the same level as Lin Jie's Clomaros' Kill and was an almighty skill that surpassed all ordinary skills. Its greatest strength lay in its overriding of all Judgment!

Under normal circumstances, it was very hard for lower-leveled skills to override higher-leveled skills. For example, one would find it difficult to eliminate the effects of higher-leveled Control-type skills with a lower-level Clearance-type skill. It was all the more for the Rise of Poseidon skill—in fact, this skill was even more oppressive. If one used any skills below the Sub-Legendary level, they could only die!

The Sea Mage was indeed scheming—after all, how long had human beings from the alternate realms been introduced to The New Age? How could any of them ever possess such advanced level skills?

However, he had underestimated Lin Jie. Lin Jie now also had a skill on par with him!

A gold helmet, gold armor, and gold sword appeared and condensed upon Lin Jie! He looked extremely mighty, and gave off chilling vibes just like a god who's all out to kill!

The God of War's eyes were fixed upon Laney, and one could just feel his terrible wrath! Lin Jie's Broken Blade seemed to sense the presence of the God of War, and it cheered for him. Its blade became even sharper, and aiming at the trident, both weapons smashed into each other!

Undefeated Anger!

Lin Jie suddenly felt danger, and he activated the Undefeated Anger skill just in case.

Kaboom—

One could just imagine the clash between two highly advanced skills, the Clomaros' Kill and the Rise of Poseidon. The devastating effects were absolutely horrendous! Lin Jie was stunned, and he nearly blacked out. It was lucky that he had the Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion with him, and after gulping it down, he was elated to discover that his Clomaros' Kill skill had overridden the Rise of Poseidon skill. Laney's body was now blasted to pieces.

Despite this, the Sea Mage still managed to complete his Water Escape skill in the nick of time, and his body faded away gradually. The thick blood he left behind condensed into several blood droplets, which emanated refreshing ocean's vibes.

[Deep Sea Blood Pearl]: This is a rare material. It can be engraved onto swords, guns, wands, and shields, and it will increase 50 points Resistance for Aqua Attack. All your attacks will have an additional 35 points of Aqua Elemental damage, and you will have a 60% chance of reducing 10% of your target's Movement Speed. This effect can be stacked for at most five times.

All items the Sea Mage Laney spawned were great treasures! He had spawned a total of eight Deep Sea Blood Pearls, and if they were put up for sale at the Auction House, each of them would fetch at least hundreds of gold coins!

'Hmm… how about the Mermaid Princess?' Lin Jie had an inspiration and sent the pearls into the Follower Space. Indeed, the Mermaid Princess let out a small cry of enjoyment and engulfed all the pearls.

—”The Favorability of Herya the Mermaid Princess towards you has grown by 200 points.”

'I wonder how much Favorability points I can get if I give Herya the Sea Mage himself?' pondered Lin Jie, as he played with the last of the Deep Sea Blood Pearls in his hands. He had kept this item for Qiu Yuan specially. Ever since this girl had been resolute to become a melee Dark Priest, it meant that she would not have an easy leveling-up process. Such special items might provide more help for Qiu Yuan.

—”Sea Mage Laney has been driven away by you. You received 100 Reputation points from the Poseidon Shrine. Please note that the Sea Mage will continue to hunt you down, and his attacks will become even more violent.”

The Sea Mage would pursue players for a total of three times, and each attack would be stronger than the previous one. However, the interval between his pursuits was quite long, at least around one month. This meant that Lin Jie would not need to worry about being hunted down by Laney for at least one month.

“That's… a skill from Clomaros?” uttered the Corporal numbly. He had finally recovered some of his intellect after sensing the vibes from Clomaros' Kill. “You, a mere human being, actually inherited the God of War's skills? No, it must be just a reward—you are not fit to inherit any skills from Clomaros!”

Lin Jie drank a Health Potion in silence and did not answer Mohamed's question. He planned to recover as much of his health bar as fast as possible when the Corporal was still dazed by what he had witnessed.

After all, the best way to maintain his success was to regain his health to prepare for whatever battle that came next.

“I see that you have seen the God of War. No wonder you are so arrogant. But—so what? You still can never beat me! Sun Demonic Sword!” Mohamed let out a loud cry, and a scorching hot, gigantic sword appeared in the air out of nowhere! One could feel its blazing vibes just by looking at it!

After one had mastered Level 5 Sun Swordsmanship, they would be able to make up a 'Heart Sword', which was akin to the 'elixir field' of experts in Chinese martial arts novels. One could then input all of their powers into the sword, and continue training it. Once they reached Level 10 of the Sun Swordsmanship, they could then use the sword against their enemy. This Sun Demonic Sword would be on par with even a Sub-Legendary Fragment and would interact with the Sun Swordsmanship skills accordingly to cause the highest damage.

However, the Corporal's Sun Swordsmanship was only at Level 7. By using this Sun Demonic Sword forcefully now, he would just be courting death.

Lin Jie scrutinized the Sun Demonic Sword's basic attributes carefully. Other than allowing Mohamed to have a boost in all of his Stats, it had an additional effect of 500 Fire Damage for every one of its attacks. Coupled with Mohamed's own skills, there's a high possibility that he might be instakilled!

Luckily… Mohamed's health bar was now only left with 40,000 points!

“Death Rage!” shouted Lin Jie, and his muscles bulged out, making his body swollen. He looked like a giant!

Lin Jie's Death Rage skill was now at Level 5 and had additional 300% damage effects. This was one of his strongest killing skills.

Mohamed did not cower at this sight. Even though the Sun Demonic Sword had pierced through his mouth cavity the instant it appeared, he continued bawling and used the last of his strength to charge at Lin Jie!

The Sun Demonic Sword raved around and left behind a multitude of shadows. Lin Jie was about to be engulfed by those strokes, just like an ordinary person who met hyakki yagyō1! Meanwhile, the burning flames materialized into the Sun Armor on Mohamed's body and helped him to parry Lin Jie's attacks.

“My high Defense of up to 3,000 points can't be broken through by a mere human being from the alternate realms the likes of you. After killing you, I will get your God of War's skill, and hence discover the hidden Secret Technique of Clomaros and regain my losses!” Mohamed was in hysteria as he rushed towards Lin Jie, giving his all!

Ang—

A Dragon's growl was heard!

Amidst Lin Jie's palms, currents of air transformed into dragon shapes as he activated the Dragon Armor Removal skill. In the next moment, he tore up Mohamed's Sun Armor! Following next, Lin Jie stabbed out and made four bloody holes on Mohamed's body, using his Army Obliteration skill!

-6,372!

-6,837!

-6,241!

-6,555!

Lin Jie had just used one set of skills to cause near to almost 25,000 points of damage! Such was the terrible prowess of the Death Rage skill!

At this moment, the Corporal had already reached in front of Lin Jie. Staring with hatred at him, he moved his throat and let out several insane bawls. With the last of his 10,000+ health points, Mohamed stabbed out fervently at Lin Jie!

“Sword Marionettes, come out!”

A gleam of despair flashed past Mohamed's eyes as he heard Lin Jie's shout. 13 sharp swords materialized around him, and they slashed down upon his head!
