Chapter 358: Killing Demon Robe

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

[Sea King Scaly Armor]: Transformation of the user’s blood into the Sea King Hardened Scale, which increases Defense and Mana Defense. When the user is injured, every 3% Health Points loss will be converted to a 1% additional Defense. Whenever the user injects his/her Health Points, every 2% Health Points loss will be converted to 1.5% of additional Defense. Stores a scale every 10 minutes, and that scale is able to help the user absorb damage, 5% the maximum Health Points. You can store at most 5 scales.

Dark Waters Kingsnake had swallowed a whole sea area of Nagas, so it naturally had the lineage of the Naga. Meanwhile, the Epic Skill Enchanted Scaly Armor had only been obtained after completing the Nagas’ Epic Mission. With the combination of both skills, it actually allowed the skill to grow and evolve! However, the Sea King Scaly Armor was still an Epic Skill as for it to evolve into a Sub-Legendary Skill, even killing 1,000 Dark Waters Kingsnakes would not be enough.

What was considered as Legendary? It was those that did not appear within the eyes of humans—that was considered as Legendary! Even if it was Sub-Legendary, it was not so easy to be achieved.

However, the Sea King Scaly Armor was much more powerful than the Enchanted Scaly Armor! With just an hour’s time of storing, then one would be able to increase one’s health bar upper limit by 25%, which was equal to carrying a large-sized health bar. That was an item that could save people’s lives. Also, the Enchanted Scaly Armor was like the armors of Devils from the underground in the beginning, black and uncanny, but its aura had become much gentler and steady. Now, it released the scent of the sea and deep light-blue color.

“How could it be? You killed the Dark Waters Kingsnake? Impossible!” Demon Robe shouted out in shock, “The Dark Waters Kingsnake was a Dark Gold Overlord and had at least 100 scales. It is impossible to kill the Kingsnake even if there were a few hundred people!”

However, Eighteen Massacres was looking at Lin Jie. After escaping from the trap, he stretched out his hand towards his Random Teleportation Scroll. He suddenly attacked, his Seven Style Spear transformed into a giant axe, which slashed towards Lin Jie’s head!

Lin Jie did not dodge but instead headed forward, shook his right hand, and just nicely blocked Eighteen Massacres’ wrist. Then he folded his wrist and grabbed Eighteen Massacres’ Seven Style Spear, snatching it away.

Warrior Skill: Disarm! Temporarily disarm the enemy of his/her weapon for 10 seconds.

Of course, the ownership of the weapon would not change, and it would return back to Eighteen Massacres’ palms after 10 seconds. However, now he was unable to use the Seven Style Spear.

-1,394!

Broken Blade slashed out a Blade Aura, and Eighteen Massacres’ health bar dropped to almost zero instantly. Eighteen Massacres’ life-saving skill Immortal Body was activated, and then he hurriedly retreated. Suddenly, Eighteen Massacres trembled as if someone had blocked his route of retreat.

Demon Robe!

“Eighteen Massacres, self-destruct!” roared Demon Robe. Then he actually kicked Eighteen Massacres towards the direction of Lin Jie, and Demon Robe followed. At the same time, the Arcane Mages, who awaited in ambush in the surroundings, appeared one after the other. It was still 50 people, not more, not less! These Arcane Mages were channeling spells, and Arcane Whirlwind started to spread.

In the blink of an eye, it became a whirlwind hell.

Lin Jie stood there straight and looked at the surrounding Arcane Whirlwind. Those skills were too weak. Arcane Whirlwind was the basic AOE skill of Arcane Mages, it may look powerful, but the damage was meager. Only with rare materials for spells, could the Arcane Whirlwind have additional attributes.

Actually, Arcane Magic was the strongest in its flexibility so it could merge with any Elemental Magic. However, if it was just purely comparing Damage Dealt, Arcane Mages could be said to be the weakest.

“If Wantless had released the Arcane Whirlwind, then he would at least have added in the Elemental Powder and transform it into firestorm, flamestorm… Although the effects of the skill would be weaker than real skills by half, they would be much powerful than all of yours.” Lin Jie shook his head slightly and did not even care about those skills. His eyes were focused on Eighteen Massacres, who was flying towards him.

Eighteen Massacres had been kicked away by Demon Robe, and he had actually listened and exploded. Both Eighteen Massacres and Demon Robe were people that never rose early without proper benefits. Thus, they could have had a dispute over Lin Jie earlier, and now they could cooperate to kill him. It was a dogfight — that’s right — well, one must get the bone first, though.

Lin Jie admired them for that.

“Selfdestruct!” Eighteen Massacres’ body swelled up a few times bigger, and just as he had mentioned, his level was already worthless. As the saying went, ‘He who is down, need fear no fall.’ If sacrificing one of his levels could be exchanged for Lin Jie’s death, then it would be a huge gain!

Lin Jie let out a peal of cold laughter while his right hand radiated Holy Light.

Light Empathy!

That skill’s usage was limited to “only able to be used against Dark characters”, so Lin Jie had forgotten all about it. However, at the Mesosaprobic Shrine, Dark Shrine’s sub-shrine, it was undoubtedly an amazing skill as it could forcibly interrupt all skills!

Eighteen Massacres’ destructive aura suddenly stopped, and immediately after, Lin Jie’s huge hand grabbed Eighteen Massacres’ face as if grabbing a basketball. He then violently threw Eighteen Massacres towards those Arcane Mages.

Boom—

-1,800!

-1,800!

…

The effect of Light Empathy disappeared, then the self-destruction that Eighteen Massacres had suppressed, exploded completely, and bombarded Demon Robe’s people wantonly. Having Level 30 Mages having 1,500 HP was already considered to be one of the best, so how could they take the damage of the explosion?

Demon Robe’s eyes turned red and seemed to be almost bleeding! His perfect plan had actually such flaws! Initially, his plan was to tempt enemies to enter, but now, they had become the cat’s paw! If the Dark Waters Kingsnake, a Dark Gold Overlord, was killed, then, at least, Dark Gold Fragments would be dropped! Also, the Dark Waters Kingsnake’s skin, flesh, and tendons were all precious and valuable materials that could create Gold equipment. As a result, it was like drawing water with a sieve, a useless effort, and they had suffered a double loss.

“Phantom!” Behind Demon Robe appeared a faint figure that was very inconspicuous. That was a phantom, at key moments, it could achieve the effects of escaping by changing positions with it. With the phantom, Demon Robe became more confident and took out a bottle of poison quickly from the Weapon Belt at his waist. He directly splashed some of it onto the dagger, which let out sizzling sounds.

Channeling materials strengthened the Mages’ spells. As for Bandits, it was poison!

[Shadow Poison]: 2/3. It only works once. After hitting the target, you can ignore the target’s Defense for the next 3 seconds, and each attack would have an additional 50 attributes damage.

“Ambush!”

Poison Critical Hit Damage! Ambush Critical Hit Damage, stunned for 2 seconds!

-436!

Cold Blood! -584!

Pierce Bone! -573!

…

Demon Robe’s attacks succeeded, so he could not help but be delighted. He kept on using combo attacks, such as Stealth Hit, Stun Damage, and Gouge, against Lin Jie. All kinds of Crowd Control Skills were also activated to control Lin Jie, so Demon Robe’s consecutive strikes’ damage points started to accumulate, getting closer to 10 points!

“Explode!”

Demon Robe menacingly shouted, and a shockwave was released—that was the Bandit Skill [Burst], where the Damage Dealt would be 120% to 300% according to the consecutive strikes’ damage points. In the hands of an expert, that was an invincible skill, but in the hands of a noob, it would be much weaker.

“Have you finished hitting?”

At that moment, Lin Jie asked casually with a cold face and sharp gaze. He pushed out his right palm vigorously, and a dragon’s roar could be heard—the energy gathered to form an illusory dragon!

Dragon Armor Removal!

Demon Robe’s face turned pale from astonishment. Just as he wanted to use the phantom to leave, he realized that his body was under the Stiffening state and was unable to activate skills!

“You-you received my attacks on purpose!” shouted Demon Robe in shock as his eyes were filled with fear and panic. “You are crazy, you actually let me accumulate consecutive strikes’ damage points to allow me to have the chance to kill you. Then when I activated my finishing move, you schemed to attack me. Weren’t you afraid that I could’ve killed you instantly?”

“I only need to take one look to calculate your attributes, want to kill me instantly? Impossible! To bait you, I did not even activate Sea King Scaly Armor and Holy Light Winged Armor,” murmured Lin Jie in his heart.

As the Dragon Armor Removal twirled Demon Robe into mid-air, then his whole Leather Armor was sliced into pieces! Lin Jie jumped into the air, and his Broken Blade reached Demon Robe’s neck. Lin Jie ruthlessly slashed his sword, and blood was scattered everywhere!

-1,795!

It was only a normal attack with Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, but it had killed Demon Robe instantly!

Dong—

Demon Robe’s corpse fell onto the ground violently.

Now, the battle had ended!

Lin Jie had won!

In the battle with Demon Robe, it could be said that Lin Jie had been walking on a tightrope—just a simple act of carelessness would result in death. However, he had to use such dangerous methods in order to kill Demon Robe. Demon Robe’s escaping skills were too powerful, and a Bandit’s body was extremely flexible. Hence, it was hard for Stiffening to work, except for when using final skills, which had obvious preparation actions. Lin Jie had taken that opportunity to attack suddenly and kill Demon Robe instantly!

Lin Jie walked next to Demon Robe and flipped his corpse.

Now, all the players were trained in “corpse lying”, which was a way to cover the items that dropped, at the instant which one died, by keeping them underneath their body. Then they would hurry and revive to retrieve the items.

Demon Robe was of no exception, there was a small bag underneath his corpse. That was the sign of coins being dropped, Lin Jie stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

—’You have obtained 100 gold coins.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, dying one time is already 100 gold coins, even I would want to guard your corpse and kill you.” Lin Jie laughed loudly but did not leave immediately. He lifted Demon Robe’s corpse, then he touched the pockets, grabbed his necklace, snatched his weapon, and removed his armor… He took everything that was even a bit useful.

Killing players could lead to a 100-gold-coins drop? Such a blatant lie! The chances where players dropped gold coins were originally very low. If one’s Evil Score had reached a certain height, then one would drop gold coins and materials. Otherwise, it was very difficult for the items in the backpack to be dropped.

Those gold coins had not been dropped—it was Demon Robe who had packed the gold coins with his quick hands and directly thrown them on the ground before he had died. At the instant he had died, he had adjusted the position of his corpse and hidden the gold coins underneath him, creating the facade that he had hidden items. Normal people would most likely jump from joy if they found the coins. At worst, one would feel much better and lose their vigilance and thus not continuing checking the corpse. One should know that gold coins were not as valuable since one still had the chance to earn them back. However, if some powerful item was dropped, then it would be a huge loss!

Unfortunately, that plan did not fool Lin Jie.

Lin Jie realized something was off, so he checked Demon Robe’s whole body, like a robber. Finally, he found something that was satisfactory from the “Weapon Belt” that Bandits used to store their weapons.

—’You received [Gold Weapon Belt]’

—’You received [Phantom Orb]’

[Gold Weapon Belt] (Gold)

Requires: Level 30

Can be used by Bandits.

All Attributes +1

Additional Effect: You can place 3 daggers and 2 ranged weapons at the same time. In the process of battling, you can change your weapon from the Weapon Belt directly.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Gold Weapon Belt. The guild leaders of major guilds are wealthy,” exclaimed Lin Jie in amazement. That Weapon Belt’s indents were the spaces to place the weapons; there was even poison, which had been prepared beforehand.

Weapon Belt, the exclusive item of Bandits. Being able to frequently change one’s weapon during battle could save time for applying poison. A Bandit only needed the cooperation of Speed Decrease Potion, Damage Potion, and Special Potion in battle. The Weapon Belt was an accessory that caused the Bandits’ battling prowess to be more magnificent and powerful.

‘Star Kill is still using a Bronze Weapon Belt, so I’ll give this to him. I’ll also let Ziliang use Engineering to modify it and add in the shooting function.’ Lin Jie stuffed the Weapon Belt into the backpack, but his eyes were staring at the other small item in his hand—a small round ball.

It was actually the Phantom Orb!
