Chapter 367: Main Plot Mission—Activated!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Alright, now that all that’s left is just the Blood Tyrant’s head. We will be too lousy if we can’t even settle that.”
“Will we reach maximum level if we kill the Blood Sub-Shrine’s master?”
“Lin Jie, be careful. Call me if anything happens, I will teleport over using Ocean’s Heart.”
Shoosh—
Everyone dashed towards Blood Tyrant’s head. The Undead possessed the skill of revival, and the magnitude of Blood Tyrant could be inferred from how many times Eighteen Massacres had been killed but still wasn’t dead. Time was precious when dealing with them.
Lin Jie gazed silently as they left and emerged from the fog soon after. He activated Hunter’s Forward Charge and sliced towards the mid-air palm of Poseidon Rage! The Sea Mage’s power was indeed at least ten times more than when Lin Jie had last seen him. However, after facing the self-detonated Legendary item, Blood Throne, head-on, there was less than 0.1% of power. That amount of power was not a problem for Lin Jie.
Sizzle—
There seemed to be a rip in the atmosphere as blood began dripping down to form the Blood Demons. These Blood Demons summoned by Blood Tyrant, despite being easily decimated by the Sea Mage, should not be underestimated as they were still Level 45 Elite Undead monsters after all. It would be troublesome for Lin Jie to kill them.
However, now that the Blood Throne had been destroyed, the Blood Demons were unable to be fully formed and were squirming on the ground.
[Blood Essence] (Elite)
Level: 45
Health Points: 10,000
Attack: 0-800
Defense: 0
Special Feature: Immune to physical attacks
Special Feature: Wrap and Devour. Blood Essence will devour its target within 20 yards. Its basic damage will increase by 100% every second.
Slush— Slush—
The dozens of Mudmire fell to the ground and squirmed around. These monsters were similar to skeletal monsters such as Slimes and Blood Bugs and belonged to the Mucus organisms. They possessed immunity to physical attacks and were able to bind and wrap around their targets.
The ball of Blood Essence nearest to Lin Jie seemed to condense into a human hand and wrapped Lin Jie in an instant, as damage values began popping from his head.
-100! -200! -300!
…
“Disgusting creature, get lost!” bellowed Lin Jie as he activated Flame Boost.
Scorching flame soared towards the Mudmires and burnt acrid air filled the hall, coupled with a giddiness-inducing acidic smell.
-2,412! -2,638!
…
The Blood Essence’s Defense was 0, and there was an additional 30% of damage when it was under attack.
Under the attack of Lin Jie’s flames, the 20+ Mudmires were evaporated and became blood droplets. Lin Jie activated Holy Light Winged Armor immediately to absorb all the droplets when he spotted them. Instantly, the armor’s wings were covered in a reddish hue, emitting a wicked aura.
Holy Light Winged Armor’s predecessor was—Bone Membrane Armor. Its base material was the Blood Sub-Shrine’s Undead in Midolhaar, so when it absorbed the Blood Throne’s remnant essence, it would provide an extremely great boost!
—’Your complementary equipment [Holy Light Winged Armor] has an additional effect: Chance of Bleeding +5%.’
‘Chance of Bleeding? What perfect timing, I was still pondering on how to hurt the Sea Mage. With the bleeding damage that has Armor Ignore, it will be easier.’ Lin Jie glanced at the Holy Light Winged Armor’s new effect in relief and delight.
At that moment, an anxious voice sounded from within the shrine. Instantly, violent fluctuations could be felt in the air, as though a sudden storm had come across a peaceful sea.
“It’s you, the damned human from the alternate realms. My powers would have been complete if it weren’t for you that had stolen the Seaheart Pearl. You even usurped Moratti Shrine’s Demonic Dragon Crown. Hand it over right now!” The Sea Mage’s exasperated voice sounded like a raging storm as condensed water arrows shot towards Lin Jie mercilessly.
“Hmph, Sea Mage Laney. Poseidon Shrine’s genius is actually Dark Shrine’s jackall. You are a sinner for killing in front of the Holy Light, you will not be forgiven!”
Rays of holy light burst out from King of Blood’s corpse! Boundless radiance shot through the skies, and the shrine was illuminated completely. Angelic singing filled the skies where the rays were.
The Paladins chanted in unison as the Holy Light rays transformed into long spears and cleared the sky filled with water arrows.
Tyrese and the Paladins that had been hiding inside the corpse had finally appeared! Tyrese had a frosty look, but there was a hint of approval as she glanced at Lin Jie and said, “Human from the alternate realms, you have done well, very well! The army led by Knight Leader Cade will be reaching soon, and you have lured Blood Tyrant here and caused their internal dispute. Blood Tyrant’s Blood Throne is destroyed, and the Sea Mage is weakened. This is a great chance to destroy the Mesosaprobic Shrine one and for all! I will arrange for the mission to be issued by Holy Church. Once the mission is completed, the promised City Leader position will be yours!”
Ding~
Ding!
A massive system prompt message sounded throughout the skies of Guild of Light!
—”Main Plot Mission [Annihilate Darkness] activated! All players can participate in this mission and will be teleported to either the Mesosaprobic Shrine or Blood Sub-Shrine upon mission acceptance. Points can be obtained through killing the Undead, destroying the architecture, retrieving treasure chests, and submission of information! Brave warriors, raise your weapons and battle!”
The abrupt system prompt message confused everyone.
Main Plot Mission, Main Plot Mission! The legendary Main Plot Mission was activated! The Main Plot Mission that was only activated during history-changing events. It was rumored that the Main Plot Mission’s rewards were all ultra-rare items from the national treasury, weaponry, and the Holy Church’s repository. With good performance, there would be a chance for items such as hidden equipment, hidden jobs, hidden maps, and keys to be in the rewards!
The entire gaming world was exhilarated! Countless players accepted the mission and were teleported over.
The Mesosaprobic Shrine and Blood Sub-Shrine were huge. When Lin Jie had previously infiltrated Moratti Shrine, he had only gone into the main hall, and there had already been countless rooms and a hidden gigantic dragon’s nest. The Mesosaprobic Shrine and Blood Sub-Shrine were even larger in size, with land areas comparable to that of City of Light and its surrounding land.
The scale of this Main Plot Mission was comparable to that of ‘getting players to clean City of Light of all its NPC and soldiers, destroy all the architectures, and dig out all the treasure chests! Lin Jie and Savage Blade’s battle arena was chicken feed.
However, the points were not easily obtainable. The monsters inside the shrine were at least Level 45, and they were all ferocious creatures. Even elite guilds from large clans could only kill them off one at a time. Killing one Elite would only increase everyone’s points by 1, not to mention the Bosses that were guarding around the shrine, treasury, and weaponry.
‘I can’t believe that the Main Plot Mission is really activated, there will be a large number of players heading here. However, the largest piece of meat has been captured by me, they can enjoy the remnants.’
Lin Jie’s eyes were sparkling as he turned to Tyrese and said, “Commander, the Mermaid Princess, Princess Herya is here as well! She was captured by the Sea Mage, and the reason why his powers improved so greatly was due to the Seaheart Pearl Necklace he stole.”
Tyrese was shocked as she exclaimed, “What? The Mermaid Princess? That’s the Poseidon Shrine’s beloved daughter, and the Seaheart Pearl Necklace is the ancient divine item retrieved by the shrine’s overlord. It has been taken away? However, this is great! Poseidon Shrine has always been a neutral party, we can pull them to our side with the princess-kidnapping case. Furthermore, it is Poseidon Shrine’s fault for causing a great increase in the Sea Mage’s powers, they have to compensate us for that. You have provided useful information, very well, this is your reward. You can use the points to search for the respective officers in Holy Church Army in exchange for the things you desire. Now, we break into the shrine and kill the Sea Mage.”
Ding~
—’You provided important information, you received 30,000,000 EXP, 50 gold coins, and 100 points.’
Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. ‘Only 50 gold coins? So stingyyyy.’
Holy Church would be able to get Poseidon Shrine to provide at least dozens boats of rare aquatic products to boost their Paladin’s powers, with just the news regarding the Sea Mage.
However, the experience points reward was very generous. It boosted Lin Jie straight to Level 39, and he had a large increase of 100 points! Those players that had accepted the mission would only be able to get at most 10+ points after a full day of farming.
That’s right, the most valuable item in main plot missions was—information!
Furthermore, Tyrese had called for him to enter the shrine and kill the Sea Mage. It was obvious that she wanted him to benefit, as well. Lin Jie’s eyes turned, it would be great if he was able to reap the benefits while both the Sea Mage and the Paladins were hurt, right?
“Go!” said Lin Jie, and Tyrese waved her hands as all the Paladins swarmed into the shrine.
Lin Jie’s steps faltered as he sneakily kept the items that had exploded out of the Three-Headed Serpent, including the 3 Cranium Bones and the stiletto. Although the flesh was precious, it would take up too much space and required 6 slots. Besides, there was an even more important item to pack—the King of Blood’s corpse. This was the Boss, also known as the strongest killing machine. Although its body had been stuffed with hundreds of bombs while the organs served as a means of transport for thousands, there wasn’t any damage to the body as it was very hardy.
King of Blood’s corpse was technically a very superior ingredient and was a rare ingredient to increase the chances of bleeding and regen. However… who would be willing to consume it? The meat had been minced from countless other creatures.
“Keep!” Lin Jie chuckled, the corpse still ended in his hands after so many twists and turns. He should check on Fire Bomb to see if he had gained some knowledge as it would be good if he could refine a Mechanical Gargoyle into a Bloody Puppet.
At that moment, Tyrese’s voice sounded. “Viscount, head over immediately.”
“Yes, Commander.” Lin Jie shifted as he held a bottle of Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion in his mouth and dashed towards the inner shrine.
