Chapter 421: Innocent Killer Is Dead!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The raging Deputy Chief Procurator was the combined body of the fourth Boss Deputy Chief Aneira and the fifth Boss Berserker Gilles, which only appeared during Hero-Level. However, the Boss’ body remained as the Deputy Chief Procurator’s state and was a Sacred Fire Priest that could deal extremely powerful Holy Fire attacks. This was a special job that belonged to NPCs, which were mostly found in the trial court of the Holy Church.
The enraged Boss was not proficient in using its skill.
“Sacred Fire!”
“I’ll block it!” Mixed Breathless cried out. With a roar, his armor almost burst as his muscles grew! From within the armor, one could hear a deep booming “dong dong” sound like that of a large drum. This was the sound of his heartbeat! A thick yellow glow appeared on his shield, and the sacred fire, which was descending from the sky, decreased to half its size!
-2,019!
“Ouch, it hurts. Hahaha…” Mixed Breathless wiped his mouth. “Heart of Shield! Unleash!”
Lin Jie was shocked. “This is the advanced job skill, Heart of Shield. It’s the same as my Heart of Enrage! Mixed Breathless, have you completed the job advancement?”
“Yeap. I was unable to complete it before. But after I entered the Holy Light Temple, I fulfilled the mission requirement after all the battles and advanced,” replied Mixed Breathless. The light on his shield flickered, and a ray of light shone as it blocked the waves of attacks from the Boss. With this skill, the damage from the Boss decreased by 50%!
Mixed Breathless’ Mystic Skill Book was [Strength of Shield Light]. It was a passive skill that added 100 permanent Defense points and stored a Shield Light every 10 seconds, which could be used to block 10% of damage. Only 5 Shield Lights could be used at the same time, and a total of 10 Shield Lights could be stored at once.
His active skill was Shield Specialist’s Honour. Successive blocks could produce additional Shield Lights! With Mixed Breathless’ Strength of Shield Light, his ability to withstand attacks greatly increased. On top of that, the Heart of Shield gave him a great amount of additional Defense, Health Points, Block, and Parry. After his job advancement, he was twice as strong! This was the greatest strength of advancing jobs.
With Mixed Breathless’ Shield Light, the main tank being killed instantly by the Boss was no longer a concern. The main tank took the hits of the boss sturdily while the other members began dealing high damage!
“You bastards!” The Boss sent out a punch furiously with a boom. Its fist carried the blood power of a Berserker, as well as the Enraged Mode’s buff. With the sacred fire attack earlier, the Boss had gained 10 stacks of rage!
10 stacks of buff meant an additional 50% increase in damage!
Boom—
-3,847!
Even Mixed Breathless with five stacks of Shield Light was sent flying away. His health bar was almost fully depleted.
At the same time, three blood-red shadows appeared. Those were Berserker Gilles’ clones. Level 45 Elite monsters with high attack, which were threats to jobs with paper-like Defense!
“Breathless, save the Shield Lights for blocking the boss’ 10 stacks of rage. I’ll handle these clones. Bu Yi, don’t bother about me and heal the main tank,” instructed Lin Jie as he drew out Broken Blade and rushed towards the blood-red clones!
Those blood-red clones had to be destroyed quickly. Otherwise, they would add a stack of “Bad Temper” effect whenever they attacked, and after one minute, they would return to the Boss and pass on all the stacks of rage. What would happen if tens and even thousands of stacks of rage were added to the Boss? Even the NPC guards in the City of Light would be killed instantly!
“Clomaros’ Kill!” roared Lin Jie.
His strongest move landed cleanly! The blood-red clone only had 18,000 health points, and was killed instantly in one hit!
Boom—
The blood-red shadow dissipated into fog. Lin Jie’s Heart of Enrage beat wildly and absorbed all of the red fog. Berserker Gilles was the general of City of Light in the past. He was a famous Berserker with extremely high health points. After absorbing, the Heart of Enrage was greatly enhanced.
The Heart of Enrage could also increase in level. Passive skills such as that required a long time to raise their proficiency level. However, it could also increase in level through other methods of increasing proficiency.
After absorbing a shadow, the Heart of Enrage’s proficiency increased from 192/100,000 to 202/100,000! It increased by 10 points. As a special skill of a job advancement, the proficiency points required to increase the level of Heart of Enrage was at a shocking 100,000 points.
Shoosh—
Droplets of blood were spewed out and entered the Heart of Enrage. Those droplets were only produced from consecutive strikes! After advancing his job, consecutive strikes were no longer restricted by health points. As long as one was proficient in the skill, they would be able to land consecutive strikes!
Army Obliteration!
“Shield Cut!”
Broken Blade was swung, and a Blade Aura followed, attacking the remaining clone. Lin Jie’s blade was as quick as lightning. It felt as if a light flashed before a series of attacks was landed on the clone! The most important technique to get consecutive strikes was sequencing. Lin Jie’s equipment was dual swords, which had slow attack speed. But now, with the Supplementary Sword increasing Broken Blade’s attack speed, Lin Jie was able to continuously send out attacks without a problem.
Tss! Tss! Tss!
Lin Jie focused his eyes on the throats of the blood-red shadows and sent out consecutive attacks. Each of them landed a Critical Hit! It was not easy to land consecutive strikes. In order to do so, one would have to make use of every movement of the targets. For example, whenever Army Obliteration was used, the target would have no choice but to retreat from the continuous attacks. While the target was retreating, he would be able to make use of this time to follow up with another attack! Lin Jie’s consecutive strikes followed the same pattern. Just as his attack grazed the skin of the target, he would send out another to land consecutive strikes and cause the target to bleed.
Each blood droplet resembled butterflies as they entered Lin Jie’s body. With the Supplementary Sword, Lin Jie’s exceedingly fast speed helped him to land 10 consecutive strikes easily! Each Blade Aura immediately tore the blood-red shadows apart, and they were all absorbed by the Heart of Enrage.
Boom—
At that moment, Mixed Breathless blocked another attack with Shield Light. He then retreated immediately, and Inksnow and The Heavenly Shield took over! After the Boss’ attack decreased, 7 fresh Blood Devils appeared. They roared and rushed towards Bu Yi, Fat Cattle, and the others.
“Death Grip! Come here!” Lin Jie reached out and pulled a terrifying devil to his side. His attacks had increased by close to 15% after consecutive stacks. The devil was an assassin-type monster. It had much higher attack power than the blood-red shadows, but with much lower health points. It became cannon fodder for Lin Jie’s combo and was killed in one blade!
The devil was completely defeated by the attack that was increased by 20%! With his naturally high-damage output and stacks, Lin Jie became a killing machine!
The difficult part of dealing with Deputy Chief Procurator’s Enraged Mode was its “Bad Temper” state. As the battle heated up, the number of Blood Devils summoned would increase. The Boss’ stacks of rage could increase to a terrifying number at any moment.
For example, there were over 80 blood-red oriole birds summoned at once now. They had high Movement Speed but extremely low Attack. Even if they attacked a Priest, they would only deal a maximum of 1 damage point. However, they could gain 3 stacks of rage at once with a single attack. In just 3 seconds, they would be able to return to the Boss! At that moment, there was a chance for the Boss to gain a terrifying 240 stacks of rage.
However, these blood-red oriole birds were instantly wiped out in one move by Lin Jie, who had prepared a skill beforehand. Over 80 units of Blood Vigor were absorbed by the Heart of Enrage.
Another example would be the blood-red Beamon. It had up to 45,000 health points with extremely high defense. Every time it received an attack, it would stack one rage point. After two minutes, it would return to the Boss. If they did not attack the Beamon, it would relentlessly attack the team and destroy their formation. If they were to attack it, they would be annihilated after two minutes if they could not destroy it with enough damage. This blood-red Beamon was stripped of its Defense by Lin Jie’s Dragon Armor Removal. In 10 seconds, it fell to the ground after receiving attacks from the entire team.
All sorts of blood-red monsters turned into cannon fodder for Lin Jie and were absorbed into Heart of Enrage. Lin Jie also became more and more skilled in landing consecutive strikes. With the Supplementary Sword and Broken Blade, he easily delivered 10 combo strikes!
The Boss’ health dropped to less than 5%!
“Gilles… I’ll give you everything I have, please revive. With my life as compensation, revive!” The holy light that surrounded the Boss lifted it into the air. The Berserker Boss was being revived.
Once the Berserker was revived, it would be filled with rage. They would not be able to withstand its violent blows. Even Mixed Breathless with his Shield Light would not be able to do so!
At that moment, Lin Jie suddenly roared and killed Zheng Ziliang!
“Lone Wolf, what are you doing?”
“My God, are you out of your mind?”
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Jie shouted at the Boss, “Don’t forget our deal. My teammate is dead, you have to revive him!”
That was right, Lin Jie killed Zheng Ziliang in order to trigger the mission reward given by the Boss at the start. Even if Lin Jie tricked the Boss, it still had to fulfill its promise since the mission was completed!
The Boss’ revival light was pulled away by the system and entered Zheng Ziliang’s body instead. Not only did his level not drop, but he also attained EXP from the mission and increased by one level!
The Berserker’s ultimate revival spell could increase the target’s level by one.
“Clomaros’ Kill!”
While the Boss’ revival spell was cast on a player, Lin Jie took the opportunity to attack. With his Clomaros’ Kill, he pierced through the heart of the Berserker! The large body boomed and fell to the ground. Fresh blood splattered everywhere and turned into red fog, before being absorbed into the Heart of Enrage.
The fourth and fifth Boss were both killed!
Zheng Ziliang heaved a sigh of relief. “I was wondering what you were doing. That was scary.”
Lin Jie laughed out loud. “Well, it was all for your good. Just know that.”
“Hehe, love hard and die fast,” said Baili Changcheng with a smirk.
Everyone: “…”
“We will not be publicizing our first clear.” Lin Jie turned his gaze and smiled. “You guys can rest offline, I have some stuff to settle.”
