Chapter 383: Corporal Mohamed

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Hellfire Plain.

This was a lifeless land. On the dark and yellow soil, there were only a few shaky fire clovers. Hell Rats and Fire Boars with body size as big as a cow were eating burnt flowers and plants. The whole plain was surrounded by a lonely and gloomy atmosphere.

Lin Jie walked slowly on the plain. He inhaled a mouthful of hot air into his nostrils and felt that the hair in his nose was burning because of it. That feeling was bad.

Hellfire Plain was said to be the gathering place of ancient demons, and Hellfire was the servant of the Demon. This kind of monster, with its body covered in hellfire, burnt the vast plain to the ground.

Lin Jie was there to challenge the Corporal of City of Light, Mohamed.

Of course, this was not overreaching. Corporal Mohamed had reached Level 120, and he could command the soldiers in the city. Under normal circumstances, it was hard for the players to defeat him. However, it was different in the mission process. The Corporal must be downgraded to the same level as Lin Jie, which was Level 41. Even so, if the Corporal died in the mission process, he would die in the game as well.

‘Tyrese promised me the position of the City Leader. Now I should be the City Leader of the City of Light. Unfortunately, she was invited by Yatasha, and the order has yet to be carried out. The Empire certainly did not want to surrender the City Leader position because of a word from the Holy Church.’ Lin Jie guessed. This was one of the skills that expert players must have, which was to speculate the meaning of the system. ‘Once I become the City of Light’s City Leader, I have to spend some time to manage it. At the time when I have a lot of loyal people under my hand, I’ll slowly kill those people.’

‘And Corporal Mohamed will be the first!’

‘But I’m not strong enough to kill him. There are even a few more troubles I’m facing right now. Laney’s damn pursuit curse, Summoning Stone of Death Knight…’ Lin Jie carefully planned as his eyes narrowed.

If Zheng Ziliang saw his expression, he would be trembling. Anyone who knew Lin Jie well would be aware of his habit. As long as Lin Jie narrowed his eyes, it meant that he wanted to set people up.

‘Also, since yesterday, two high-profiled fellas jumped out on the Rankings Board.’ Lin Jie opened the Rankings Board and pondered over it carefully.

Fengyun, Level 37, 4th in the Rankings Board.

Chaos In The Sky, Level 37, 6th in the Rankings Board.

After the Final Battle, Savage Blade’s team members had monopolized the top ten places of the Rankings Board as they had been rewarded. But now, those two fellows of unknown origin had suddenly cut in with a very high-profile manner, ranking up quickly.

There were differences in EXP of the same level. Hence, even though they were all of Level 37, their ranks would be different.

‘Fengyun seems to be the famous Paladin from the City of Twilight. But this fella’s playing method is different from all. He uses group buffs. Once he goes out to fight, he will bring tens or even hundreds of teammates and step on dozens of halos. It’s time to contract Asega, the Infinite-Spawning Zerg Boss.’

‘Chaos In The Sky, doesn’t this fellow focus mainly on the battleground? How could he have leveled up so quickly?’

As Lin Jie was pondering, a light figure appeared in his view. This was a bareheaded soldier, in an Epic City of Light Corporal Suit. He held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. His eyes were sharp as an eagle’s, and his face was covered by an iron armor that protected his chin. He was fully armed and had extraordinary momentum.

This was the Corporal of City of Light, Mohamed.

A Dark Gold Overlord NPC who had the ancient Heritage [Sun Swordsmanship].

It was not easy to become a Corporal. Mohamed had once broken into an ancient relic, and obtained the heritage from the “Sword Saint of the Sun”. He had not only learned powerful sword techniques but also had gotten rich and advanced all the way to the position of the Corporal of the City of Light. Meanwhile, he had used his wealth to recruit people and horses secretly.

“Human of alternate realms, I didn’t expect that you had the courage to accept my challenge.” Mohamed held his shield and sword low, while his cloak rose with the wild wind. “Should I admire your courage, or despise your arrogance?” asked Mohamed coldly.

[Mohamed] (Dark Gold Overlord)

Level 41

Health Points: 180,000

Attack: 1,672-2,283

Defense: 900

Additional effect: Warrior Mastery

Additional effect: Sun Swordsmanship Heritage.

‘What terrible attributes!’ Lin Jie threw an Identify, and he could not help but take a breath of cold air.

Mohamed was indeed an NPC that had broken through an ancient relic. In addition to his high attributes, the additional attributes of Warrior jobs such as Blood Vigor Enhancement, Muscle Enhancement, his actual attributes could be 140% of the current him! This was still the case without other skill buffs.

He was almost an invincible enemy.

Lin Jie pulled out mission column calmly, threw the mission page into the air, and said calmly, “Mission requirement, defeat Corporal Mohamed. Hehehe… Corporal, can I just ask, would you like to admit defeat?”

“As a Warrior, I would rather die but admit defeat!” The Corporal looked at Lin Jie coldly and pulled out his longsword. “If you want me to admit defeat, you have to kill me!”

“I like your answer.” Lin Jie’s eyes flashed. He smiled coldly and said, “Change of mission requirement, kill Corporal Mohamed! Come on, let me see if I can defeat a Dark Gold Overlord now! Hunter’s Forward Charge!”

“Imbeciles, Sun Forward Charge!”

The Corporal’s Forward Charge was from the Heritage Sun Swordsmanship. Mohamed’s Blood Soul from his body was almost bursting into flames as he charged towards Lin Jie like a meteor that had just broken through the atmosphere! How terrible was the attack with an Attack as high as 2,283?

Boom—

Bang!

The air was like a sponge, squeezed together, and suddenly burst out! The vigorous flame and airflow exploded at the place where they collided.

Resist! -726!

Resist! -839!

Their power in the first round of battle seemed to be roughly the same, the Stun effect offset each other, and the Corporal even suffered from higher damage. But when the airflow calmed down, one would realize that… Lin Jie, with Sea King Scaly Armor and Holy Light Winged Armor, was fully armed. But the Corporal had not even raised up his shield!

The difference was obvious!

“Human, your ability is really good. But I have not used mine yet. You will lose! Sun Swordsmanship, F Array!” The Corporal’s body suddenly accelerated, just like a speeding train. He used Forward Charge again the next second after using it!

‘Skill to reset the CD of Forward Charge? I did not pay attention to him in my previous life, and I don’t know his strength well.’ Lin Jie was slightly shocked, and the Holy Light Winged Armor gave a gentle slap, avoiding the Forward Charge accurately with the slightest move.

However, as the Corporal’s Forward Charge just failed, he used Forward Charge again! Lin Jie was quick in response. Although he was shocked, Lin Jie avoided with accurate moves! However, the most terrible part was coming. The Corporal’s Forward Charge did not stop at all. He changed direction and charged again!

‘Darn it, what kind of skill is this? Even a Legendary Warrior can only Forward Charge four times at most!’ Lin Jie shouted in his heart, but his body moved faster and faster. In his pupils, he seemed to be able to predict the pathway of the Corporal’s Forward Charge, and even his body movements. Without any extra moves, he leaned 15 degrees and dodged again.

This was a precision skill! It was also the highest level of positioning!

Positioning was the most basic skill for players to avoid attacks and turn the tables on attackers. If a Mage bombarded someone with wide-range skills, like Skyfire Meteor, the target would immediately leave the bombing range as fast as they could by positioning.

One could also step aside using positioning when a Bandit attacked them with a dagger.

The precision level of positioning determined the level of the raw skill of a player. The simplest example was the Bandit Skill [Gouge]. Its effect was to cause 70% damage and 2 seconds Stun if attacked on the head. If attacked on the other parts, the damage dealt would drop without the Stun effect. To avoid this skill, new players would choose to jump away, lean backward, or even use skills that were used to avoid magic, such as Blink.

However, if it was Lin Jie, he would only turn his head away, as it was sufficient for the attacker to hit his other body parts.

Achieving the best effect with the least actions, this was the micro-level of positioning.

If Lin Jie avoided the first Forward Charge using big movements such as jumping back, turning around, or squatting, he would not possibly avoid the Forward Charge that came next. This was the benefit of micro-level positioning.

“My Sun Swordsmanship and Forward Charge Array can be used infinitely before Forward Charge reaches the target! Kid, the most important and the most crucial point in the battle of Warriors is about whose Forward Charge can hit the target. Once you are stunned by me, you’re dead!” Mohamed used Forward Charge crazily like a flaming fireball. In his field of vision was only left the shadow of a fireball!

“Oh? An infinite Forward Charge skill? Although it has a 100% in hitting the target, it’s much weaker than the continuous Forward Charge of Legend Warrior.” Lin Jie keenly found out a clue of the Corporal’s skill and smiled. “In this case, I’ll make good use of your weakness. Come on!”

Kaboom—

Like a thunderbolt, Mohamed charged in front of Lin Jie.

“Now!”

Lin Jie dodged the Forward Charge again as he stepped aside. With his Broken Blade, he hit the Corporal’s waist. In a flash, Blade Aura spread, and blood splashed, a bloody cut was completely opened! Moreover, the Holy Light Winged Armor rowed through the Corporal’s belly, leaving a bloody wound.

5% Bleeding was triggered!

-1,526!

-152! -152!

…

The damage from Bleeding was 10% of the attack damage, lasting for 10 seconds.

The Corporal’s Forward Charge still failed to hit Lin Jie. Like a giant fireball, he rushed out and finally stopped until the remaining power was weakened. But his body was ignited with fire again, and the next round of Forward Charge was coming.

“What a trashy skill.”

Lin Jie raised his Broken Blade and hit at the Corporal!
