Super God of War Chapter 18: Giant Demon Prophets

Lin Jie had occasionally eaten a few meals offline and spent quality time with his family before returning online. He had been scoring kills on this map for one day and one night respectively. Unfortunately, he only received eight Sub-Legendary Fire Gun blueprints. It would have taken a long time to gather the complete set of blueprints.

"Death is actually a form of destiny," exclaimed the Giant Demon. The gasping sentence from the befallen Giant Demon shocked Lin Jie. In the process of killing Demons, he realized that there was no difference between Giant Demon and the Undead as they only knew how to attack without intelligence, releasing short bursts of growling. This Giant Demon, which knew how to speak the human language, shocked Lin Jie.

From killing this Giant Demon, Lin Jie smiled as he was rewarded with a backpack. This completed his collection of four 20-slot backpacks and enabled his capacity to multiply twice that of a normal player. Furthermore, he also obtained a Skill Book.

Skill: Hunter's Forward Charge (Strengthening Skill)

Casting Resource: Action

Skill Description: You are required to execute Forward Charge on your opponent within 30 yards. A successful hit will stun the opponent for one second.

Strengthening Effect: If you lose your target during Forward Charge, you will only acquire an additional 100% of speed, which lasts for one second.

Job Restriction: Warrior

Strengthening Skills could be acquired with a low rate of success. In The New Age, there was no one capable of obtaining more than 20 Strengthening Skills.

Lin Jie had a bitter smile and thought, 'How could this skill appear at this late juncture?'

The greatest difficulty of killing a Giant Demon was in close combat where one might become a target overwhelmed with raining arrows. In addition, there were no more supplies in his backpack. This compelled him to remain seated and recover his health points. Otherwise, he would be shot to death instantly.

Glancing at his progress in the mission, he had killed a total of 95 but still lacked 5 more kills.

As he explored deeper, an amazing but hardly perceptible structure caught his eye. This was a structure similar to an Altar. Lin Jie did not enter the area immediately as he was afraid of what was awaiting for him. Instead, he stayed outside to execute further kills.

Focused on a Giant Demon, Lin Jie activated Hunter's Forward Charge which turned his body into a shadowy black figure, leaving traces of afterimages. In an instant, he approached closer to the Giant Demon with his Broken Blade slashing through its throat, producing high damage quickly. With Hunter's Forward Charge, his powers had increased greatly.

As he picked up the blueprints, Lin Jie continued killing demons, and he had achieved the height of his mission.

-'Mission completed! You are rewarded with Guild of Light Reputation +20 points and the title of [Imperial Defender]."

[Imperial Defender]: You temporarily gain +15 points Reputation with the Guild of Light. Your attack has an additional 8% Light Judgment and the skill of Light Empathy.

Lin Jie checked his title's attributed skills.

Light Empathy: Fixed Skill which cannot be upgraded. It can be used on yourself, increasing all stat points by 2% and recover 50 Health Points. It can be used on a target, causing the target to enter a Dispelled state for 0.5 seconds.

-'Next stage, kill feral Giant Demons × 1000.'

Lin Jie frowned as he might lose his edge in the subsequent part of the game if this continued on. He switched to the game forum for further information, which stated that the highest level had reached level 5 and ordinary players were gradually reaching level 3. This was just a slight difference of half a day's time of leveling to bridge the gap. According to his progress, Castle Wood would roughly be opened in 7 days.

'Damn! This Special Dungeon is really quite a scam! Trapping me here like that!' Lin Jie cursed as he looked at the rewards for this mission.

The mission rewarded not just a mere title, but the entire Guild's reputation! The Guild of Light covered more than 70% The New Age's continent. Even in the distant Land of Elements or even the City of Angels, they were territories where humans lived. It was also very difficult to gain reputation for the Guild of Light. Under the Guild, there were countless cities. And under the cities were many towns and camps.

In his previous life, players had calculated that one point of Guild of Light reputation could approximately be exchanged for at least 20 points of City Reputation. These were reputation rewards from mission and titles, sufficient for Lin Jie to reach the state of 'Respected' in the City of Light. This not only allowed him to be eligible for various purchases and discounts, such as discounts to purchase land but could also allow him to enter the city with additional benefits.

"Kill!" Lin Jie was strongly provoked. Unless there was another mission of killing 10,000 demons after his present mission, he would definitely put in his best shot!

Lin Jie stood in front of a Giant Demon Hunter without a flinch as its heart was shot by an arrow and its health bar was rapidly decreasing. Only when the health bar went empty did he make a sudden move. His body turned blood-red as he activated Death Rage. The edge of his Broken Blade revealed bursts of strong Blade Aura as he slit open the Giant Demon's neck.

-322!

"Always maintain your Death Rage; otherwise, you will not be able to leave even in death."

For the entire following week, Lin Jie fought hard in the Soul of the Giant Demon space as he witnessed the top players reaching level 6. He had finally taken the 1000th Giant Demon down by chopping its head off.

Although his level had not risen, his skills and experience had major improvements. Hunter's Forward Charge, Wild Charge, Rebel's Fight. All those skills had reached level 2, with their effects being strengthened by 10%. The most fearsome would be Death Rage. When Lin Jie neared derangement, his proficiency with Death Rage would increase.

Besides, his skills became more experienced as he was able to kill one demon every ten steps. As he passed through the horde of monsters, Lin Jie would kill them without being stained by a drop of blood. Lin Jie gradually found his confidence and grandeur as the Battle Emperor from his previous life!

If Lin Jie did not need to just face the Giant Demons, he would not have dared to do so. A long time had passed, and he particularly recognized the movements of the Giant Demons. Other than deliberately reducing his health points to activate Death Rage, his health bar practically stayed constant.

The Giant Demon's head rolled on the ground while a blueprint appeared in front of Lin Jie - the 50th blueprint! Other than this, Lin Jie's bag was filled with his spoils of war; 10 sets of 20-slot backpacks, 3 sets of Hunter's Forward Charge Skill Books, 3 sets of Cross Military Strike Skill Books, etc.

A crisp sound spread and Lin Jie heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

-'Mission completed! You are rewarded with Guild of Light reputation +50 points and the title of [Imperial Captain].'

[Imperial Captain]: You have gained an additional 30 Reputation points in the Guild of Light. You have obtained 15% of Light Judgment, along with the additional skill of Light Empathy and Holy Light Halo.

Holy Light Halo: All Dark creatures which get close to you will have a decrease of 15% in stats. Your skill of Light Empathy also gains an additional a 5-yard radius boost.

-'Next stage, kill wild Giant Demon Prophets × 10.'

Lin Jie gulped mouthfuls of saliva. The mission reward was surprisingly the title of Imperial Captain! This title meant that Lin Jie would be able to be on par with any Viscount of the Guild of Light where he would receive high authority. Furthermore, Holy Light Halo was even stronger. It was equivalent to having an everlasting divine dispelling spell around him.

Most importantly, Lin Jie did not have to kill any more Giant Demon Hunters as he was already sick of it.

Lin Jie packed his items and awaited for the recovery of his health points. After which, he approached the Altar. He had withheld his urge for the entire week without entering it.

As he entered the Altar, the background changed completely.

Lin Jie explored and ventured into the internal surroundings, which showed that the Altar was very spacious. In the middle was a large hall. Five thick pillars which needed several people to fully encircle it held up the entire Altar. At the bottom of each pillar, there were two toad-like Giant Demon Prophets, holding Pine Wood Enchanted Staffs in their hands and whispering in discussion.

Giant Demon Prophet: Level 10 Elite, Health points: 4100

Lin Jie frowned as it was not easy to fight the Level 10 Elites. His attacks would likely be completely parried, and his only possible form of attack which would cause harm was the 15% of Light Judgment, which was able to ignore any form of defense from dark creatures.

However, how was he to deal with them?

Lin Jie raised his head to have a look as the pillars had a few touch points. As he activated the Feather Drop Gem, Lin Jie attempted to jump onto the landing spots but only reached half the distance due to a lack of jumping strength. He grabbed the pillar and awaited for the Feather Drop Gem to cool down and reactivate it again. As soon as he grabbed the edge of the landing spot, he flipped over.

At this distance, it was just right to use the Blade Aura Executioner.

Aiming at the Giant Demon Prophet below him, Lin Jie waved his Broken Blade as his Blade Aura was unleashed and the ear of the Giant Demon Prophet was cut off.

-32!

"Kalamozee…" The Giant Demon Prophet raised its head as spiraling black magic swirled out of its hands.

"Light Empathy!"

His right hand emitted a flash of Holy Light. The Giant Demon Prophet blinked in disbelief and stopped its channeling. Lin Jie took this opportunity to produce Blade Aura Executioner again, which decreased the Giant Demon Prophet's Health points by 100. He then sprayed Slow Restoring Potions into its mouth.

However, Lin Jie was shocked to realize that the Giant Demon Prophet's health had fully recovered.

This was a level-10 monster which had very high recovery power!

Lin Jie persevered and produced another beam of Blade Aura once again.

While Giant Demon Prophet was channeling its spell, he deliberately popped his head out but was hit hard by a magical sphere.

-201!

Lin Jie retracted his neck immediately. He had nearly been instantly killed by the magic…

"Death Rage!"

His Attack increased by 180%, Attack Speed increased by 180%, and Critical Hit increased by 20%. Even Blade Aura was doubled in strength. Lin Jie slashed his sword towards the Giant Demon Prophet.

-120!

As the Giant Demon Prophet gathered its magical powers, Holy Light reached its hands, instantly disrupting its channeling and Lin Jie took the opportunity to attack further and unleashed bursts of Blade Aura. Giant Demon Prophet's health bar visibly dropped quickly to a fifth of its total.

"Owww——"

The high pitched howl could be heard as pitch black flames gathered in the Prophet's hands and were thrown fiercely at Lin Jie!

"Feather Drop Spell!"

Lin Jie jumped high, sliding towards another pillar. This move alerted several Giant Demon Prophets. The fireball left a flaming trajectory in the air as it hurled straight for Lin Jie!

"Hunter's Forward Charge!"

Lin Jie transformed into a shadow, activating his skills, and canceled his target lock. His speed increased by 110% and he sprinted towards another direction. He used the Feather Drop Spell to climb walls and held firmly to a piece of wood.

The Giant Demon Prophets chased after him and wandered in the same area for a while.

Except for those which were attacked by Lin Jie, the rest returned. Lin Jie's eyes brightened as this was a good chance! The Broken Blade vibrated as he cleaved down with Army Obliteration and Blade Aura.

-42!

-35!

-37!

Lin Jie frowned as Death Rage was already over. Resigned, he could only prop his head out. "Hehe, grandson."

'Boom!'

A shot of Fireball blasted Lin Jie in the face. He wiped his burning skin and activated Death Rage. With his Blade Aura, he fiercely slashed at the Giant Demon Prophets.
