Super God of War Chapter 352 - Communication and Temptation

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

"Moratti Shrine was once under the rule of the obstinate and unruly dragon, Moratti. Our Parliament was against its savage means for a long time." The Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy, which Lin Jie had transformed into, spoke eloquently with pride, but his eyes were glued on the surrounding players as he continued on, "Now that the Dragon Moratti is dead, the shrine has sent me to engage in discussion with the Mesosaprobic Shrine Master. May I know where he is?"

The Three-Headed Serpent's heads made 3 different sounds.

"How can we believe you that Moratti is dead?"

"Oh, really? Since you are interested in negotiation, we can take our time to discuss further."

"Piss off! The Demon Dragons are the most treacherous and sinister, I will kill you first!"

The Three-Headed Serpent was the descendant of the strongest ancient Demon Dragon 'Dark Demonic PentDragon'. After many generations and despite the dilution of bloodline, it still possessed the strength of the three elements, Fire, Water, and Wind. Once the serpent mouth opened, it would cast a variety of high-level spells. Furthermore, this was the Mesosaprobic Shrine, and it stood the advantage of having an additional bonus from the map. With such topographical advantages, even Lin Jie would struggle against it.

For example, if the King of Blood was to fight against the King of Barbarism in the Blood Sub-Shrine, with the added bonus from the map, he would be able to end up in a draw with the King of Barbarism, instead of getting tortured.

Lin Jie's eyes shone as he said to himself, 'The three-headed serpent has different dispositions, fire should correspond to anger, Water to temporal, and Wind to kindness. I have to make good use of this and kill all those troublesome players."

Lin Jie faced the three heads that had different mentalities and continued asking, "May I know where is the Shrine Master?"

"Hmph, shut up! You are just a trivial Dragon Envoy, a piece of trash that I can kill with one breath! What rights do you have to see the Shrine Master? He is plotting a major event in which you cannot participate. Since you have shown interest in working with us, then prove your sincerity! Otherwise, I am going to swallow you," bellowed the Fire Serpent as the flame flickered in its mouth, and it looked as if it was going to instakill Lin Jie.

Lin Jie was prepared as he raised his right hand, and the King of Blood's corpse flew out. The power in the King of Blood's body had not dissipated because of its death. Potential currents that contained a hint of destructive power was still emitting from its corpse.

"King of Blood!"

"Blood Sub-Shrine, King of Blood! No, he is already dead, completely dead, but his body is still filled with the essence of power. If we can get it…"

"If we can insert our Shrine Master's split soul, the King of Blood will become the Mesosaprobic Shrine's Guardian."

The serpent's three heads glanced at each other as shock filled their eyes. The King of Blood was too powerful, why was Blood Sub-Shrine able to wreak havoc, annihilate cities, and create wars? It was because they had the King of Blood! This monster that was able to absorb corpses and strengthen itself infinitely. The Blood Sub-Shrine was invincible as long as King of Blood existed!

The reason why Blood Tyrant had handed Eighteen Massacres the King of Blood Token had been to let it kill more people and boost its attributes under the guidance of humans from the alternate realms.

The Gale Serpent's eyes flashed, and it asked, "What are you trying to prove by showing the King of Blood's corpse?"

"It is to prove my sincerity." Lin Jie said coherently, "Not only that, I have brought you a piece of news. Those humans from the alternate realms are all lackeys to the Blood Sub-Shrine High-Order Believer, Eighteen Massacres. Their motive is to steal the Dark Holy Water Source and offer it to Blood Tyrant!"

"What!?"

"You're looking for death! You're looking for death!"

The Fire Serpent was enraged as he killed the 100+ players nearby with just one Dragon Breath! Chains of 8,000+ appeared, and Lin Jie shivered. The three-headed serpent was too powerful! However, if it were to leave the Mesosaprobic Shrine, its ability would decrease by half.

"Fire, stop!" The Gale Serpent bellowed, "The Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy might not be speaking the truth."

"Regardless of its authenticity, all those that dare to target the Dark Holy Water have to die! Furthermore, this is the King of Blood's corpse, King of Blood! If we get it, it would be of great help."

"You are right. However, there is a chance of a scam. Don't forget, Blood Tyrant is the strongest at Corpse Burst, what do we do if he were to use the corpse as bait?"

"Shut your mouth, Gale," shouted the Fire Serpent. "What a good time, I am already sick of this body, but I still have to share it with you guys. Good job, Dragon Envoy, you have done well! I accept this body! I can arrange your meeting with the Shrine Master. This is the Mesosaprobic Divine Rock, you will be able to see the Shrine Master once you crush it. The King of Blood's body is mine! I can do the soul transfer after I clean it with the Dark Holy Water Source."

The Fire Serpent swallowed the corpse in one mouthful after it finished its sentence.

Ding~

—'You activated the mission [Soul Transfer Ritual].'

—'You received the special item [Mesosaprobic Divine Stone].'

There was an additional item in Lin Jie's backpack!

[Mesosaprobic Diving Stone]: Special Item, only useable when your Dark Shrine Reputation is higher than 'Respected'. This increases your attributes within the Mesosaprobic Shrine by 100%. Teleport to the main hall when you are using the item.

The main hall was where the Shrine Master was located.

This stone was not of much use to Lin Jie. If he were really here to be on good terms with the Mesosaprobic Shrine, he would be able to receive his rewards after getting this mission item and interacting with the Shrine Master.

However, Lin Jie's motive this time wasn't to befriend anyone, he was here for the Dark Holy Water Source! As well as to join hands with Holy Church to deal serious damage to the Dark Shrine. Hence, this item was just a prop for him to boost his attributes.

'I would have stayed in the Mesosaprobic Shrine if I could earn experience points killing monsters in my Dragon Envoy form.' Lin Jie joked inwards. 'Let's take a look at the mission, I have a gut feeling that the key to the mission lies on the Fire Serpent!'

[Soul Transfer Ritual]

Mission Description: The Fire Serpent of the Three-Headed Serpent is sick of its body and hopes to transfer its soul to the King of Blood's corpse offered by the Moratti Dragon Envoy. If you can help him in the completion of the mission, you will be very well rewarded.

Mission Reward: EXP, Gold Coins, Secret Legend.

'Secret Legend?' Lin Jie was startled. Secret Legends were information that players could not retrieve through normal means. The only way was to get it from NPCs, and it would activate special scenarios.

Take a coordinate for example, nothing could be seen there, but if an NPC said, 'There is a treasure hidden at this spot', if you were to continue to dig, there could be an item that was left behind. This was one of the more common usages of Secret Legends. In dungeon conquering, there existed similar Secret legend Missions as well, such as the Devils Fork at the Devils' Port, where one could receive a chant upon completion of the Holy Priest's mission. This chant would be able to weaken 20% of the Boss' attributes, but, before completing the Secret Legend, chanting would be useless.

Lin Jie glanced at the mission itinerary and smiled.

Mission Requirement: Get 1,000 souls, 20 Dark Magic Crystal Gems, 20 Dark Holy Herbs, 50 Seaweeds.

The last three materials were all special products of the Mesosaprobic Shrine and could not be found on the market. Although their spawning rates were relatively low, they could still be collected given some time. The most troublesome was the 1,000 souls, materials required in the Dark Shrine were always items such as souls and corpses.

Usually, Lin Jie and Savage Blade would have to put on a good show. They would help to slay the monsters while he rushed out mid-fight to kill and chase them away simultaneously. Repeat this cycle for over 100 times till completion. However… hehehe, there were materials present!

Eighteen Massacres' lackeys were all beneficial in the soul collection process!

Lin Jie licked his lips and did not rush to teleport to meet the Shrine Master. He walked step by step to the external borders of the shrine as he muttered, "Mission Complete! Go back to the shrine for both Shrine Masters to meet."

Instantly, murmurings began amongst the players.

"The Rare Elite is leaving. Let's follow him!"

"That teleportation stone is the Mesosaprobic Divine stone, and it's able to increase 100% of attributes within the Mesosaprobic Shrine."

"Aiya, what are you afraid of? He is only a Rare Elite despite how many boosts he gets."

As the Dragon Envoy left the hall, the players behind him were preparing for battle. Sammy was amongst those players, and rage was engraved in his eyes.

At that moment, a voice message arrived.

Lin Jie was unable to check the message when he was transformed into the Dragon Envoy.

'Could it be that something went wrong?' thought Lin Jie. Why would they send him a message unless they had gotten into trouble?

'Run!'

Lin Jie turned and ran, it would not be hard for him to kill all those players, but it would take up too much time. It would be disastrous if Savage Blade got into trouble.

"Wth, the Rare Elite ran away!"

"Chase after him!"

Kaboom—

The crowd swarmed forward, but who could match up to Lin Jie's speed? All of them lost sight of him within 3 minutes.

Release Transformation!

Fog Concealment!

The surroundings of the Mesosaprobic Shine was already covered in fog, so it fulfilled the requirements of using Fog Concealment. Lin Jie removed his transformation, and the [Soul Transfer Ritual] in the mission list was frozen. The Mesosaprobic Divine Stone became useless as well.

'Bu Yi's message?' Lin Jie was surprised as he opened the message hurriedly.

"Lin Jie! I found the Mermaid Princess!" Bu Yi's voice sounded hastily. "She is attacking us."

Lin Jie's pupils constricted as he called, "Where are you guys? Why is the Mermaid Princess here?"

"We are fighting and retreating at the same time, we are already nearing the teleportation portal. Mixed Breathless, The Heavenly Shield, Innocent Killer, Netherblue, Red Dust… are all dead!" The anxiousness was killing Bu Yi as she almost cried. Suddenly, she shrieked, "Oh my god! There are people, so many people!"

Lin Jie was astonished. "People? How can there be? Aren't Eighteen massacres' lackeys all surrounding the hall currently?"

Mesosaprobic Shrine Teleportation entrance.

The remaining three players of Savage Blade, Bu Yi, Baili Changcheng, and Qiu Yuan, were stiff as a hint of despair flashed through their eyes while they looked at the huge crowd.

There were at least 1,000 people! These people had blocked the whole teleportation circle, and all they could see were heads.

"Never thought that I would see you here, you have really gone down the wrong path after hanging out with bad company." A low voice sounded as a Bandit clad in Black Leather Armor walked out. He glanced at Baili Changcheng with a half-smile, looking like a jackal that had just caught its prey.

Dark-Robed Knights, Demon Robe!
