The best feeling in the world was to stand at the peak and have full control over everything. Of course, if one could gloat at their enemies who were suffering at the side, that would be enjoyable too.
After accepting Eighteen Massacres’ video request, he no longer felt like sleeping. Instead, he took out a piece of roasted meat as he sat and watched the show in front of him.
“We’ll kill the Boss in one go!” Character Z was so eager to obtain the first clear that the blade in his right hand was shaking with excitement. However, in less than a second, his expression changed drastically from his previous excitement, and the look in his eyes became serious.
There were rumors that Character Z was a skilled swordsman, even in real life. He also had a strong mental fortitude. No matter what obstacles he faced, he was able to regain his senses in the shortest time possible and handle it calmly.
Hoo— Hoo—
Character Z waved his right hand, and his sword danced like rain. It was hard to catch its movements with one’s naked eyes. The dancing sword moved slowly like the gentle wind. Suddenly, it lashed out like a storm, and three hits were landed on the Boss!
“Such fast movements! A normal player can only send out two slashes at once, but he can actually deal three slashes?” exclaimed Lin Jie in shock.
The rumors about him were not unfounded. At the beginning of The New Age, it was already mentioned that a technician in real life, who chose the same job in the game, would fare much better than other normal players. Someone who studied traditional Chinese medicine in real life would have a higher chance of making potions in the game. This was the special ability from their professions.
It was the same for the battling jobs.
A martial arts practitioner would definitely be stronger compared to others. They would easily be able to block, parry, and dodge attacks. If real-life police were to play as Hunters, they would naturally have a stronger tracking ability than normal people.
Of course… Even if you were highly skilled in real life, it did not mean that you would be able to overpower everybody. After all, it was still a game. Everything was measured by numbers. Once your stat points reached a certain level, you would then be able to unleash the full potential of certain techniques.
Character Z was a knight with all his stats pumped into agility, so his attack speed was much faster than others. However, to slash out three attacks in an instant was not achieved because of his stat points. Rather, it was his technique! This was the technique that he had gained from his real life.
In truth, Lin Jie’s body and reaction time were much more powerful after practicing The Refined Punches. His reaction speed in the game was much faster as well. In real life, Lin Jie had the tendency of fighting head-on because of his habits as a Berserker in the game.
“Wind Spirit Blade!” Character Z closed his eyes, and his blade caused a storm-like explosion. At that moment, there were many afterimages of the sword flying in front of him. It was as if he had slashed out dozens of times all at once!
-425!
-465!
-471!
“Only three numbers?” Lin Jie was a little surprised. He then understood. “He is training his own technique. After his stats finally catch up, those afterimages of his sword will turn into real attacks! I see…”
That was right, Character Z was a highly skilled swordsman in real life. Even in the game, he was able to unleash his full skills. However, because of his stats restrictions, he was unable to deal damage to his full potential. It was imaginable how powerful he would become as the game progressed!
Lin Jie also noticed that when Character Z attacked consecutively, small tornadoes were formed, which added 10% Sputter Damage to his normal attacks.
Berserker Gilles was not that strong. After being attacked by everyone, he took a step back, bleeding. His health was finally at 30%!
Swoosh—
A blinding light appeared above the Devils’ Prison! Aneira showed up and caressed the wounds of her beloved. A holy flame surrounded them as “symbiosis” was triggered! The two Bosses’ health went back to 100%, and their stats were increased by 20 points every second.
Character Z turned pale and roared in rage, “Eighteen Massacres, what’s going on?”
“Why is it like this?” Eighteen Massacres revealed a shocked expression. His jaw dropped, and he lightly hit his head. “Darn it! Lone Wolf must have found out about my man. He sent me fake information on purpose! Let’s go quickly!”
“Go, everybody retreat!” Character Z glared maliciously at Eighteen Massacres.
Eighteen Massacres looked stunned and stood stiffly at his spot. Then, an angry expression formed on his face. He took out his communication device and proceeded to scold and curse at the other person for sending over fake information… Just then, the Deputy Chief Procurator summoned Sacred Fire, which descended from the sky. Out of all places, it took Eighteen Massacres down!
Sacred Fire!
Sacred Fire!
In just two hits, Eighteen Massacres was instantly killed by the extremely powerful Deputy Chief. Right at the moment of his death, rage was written all over his face as he gritted his teeth. All he wanted was to shred the “scout” on the other side of the communication device to pieces.
Seeing Eighteen Massacres’ expression, Character Z frowned. ‘Was he tricked too? Lone Wolf is so scheming, why would he allow his information to be leaked so easily? Lone Wolf must have caught Eighteen Massacres’ scout a long time ago and baited us with real information before causing us to get wiped out with fake news. How sneaky!’
Character Z looked at Eighteen Massacres with pity in his eyes. ‘This piece of trash, he thought he was so smart. In the end, you were still screwed over by Lone Wolf. Whatever, let’s withdraw first! We have to study these two twin Bosses properly.’
All the members began to retreat.
As long as they exited Devils’ Prison, they would be able to avoid getting killed. At that moment, they were already prepared to leave.
“Don’t leave!” Eighteen Massacres shouted and stood up with his immortal body. He stared and Aneira and cried out, “This Boss has a fatal weakness. His Sacred Fire is the same as my Sun Blade Aura. I can absorb it! I’ll lock down the fourth Boss, and you guys focus on the Berserker! Sun Swordsmanship, Flame Tribute!”
With his chants, the phantom image of an Orc rose up. It was holding a giant flaming sword, which absorbed all of Aneira’s Sacred Fire. Flame Tribute was the same as Holy Light Worship, so it could stop attacks with the same attributes.
Everyone was shocked. They could tell that Eighteen Massacres was fuming mad!
“That’s right, his plan that he thought was perfect was turned against him by Lone Wolf. Anybody would go crazy with rage.” Everyone, there was filled with contempt and also found it funny. Since Eighteen Massacres wanted to lock down the fourth Boss himself, they would just let him do so. All the players there were elites of the elites. Killing the Berserker was not a problem.
Battle, start!
…
“Hahahaha! Who knew Eighteen Massacres’ acting is so good, even I can’t help but believe him.” Lin Jie was laughing gleefully. The elite team of Twilight Transmigration really planned to kill the Berserker because of Eighteen Massacres’ valiant display in battle.
How could this happen so easily?
As expected, Eighteen Massacres lost all his mana without a sound in the middle of the battle. Sun Swordsmanship had drained all his mana. He roared angrily, “God damn it, can’t the Dark Priest heal my mana? It’s over, I don’t have any left to continue using the skill.”
“What?” Everyone was stunned. The Dark Priest reacted and finally healed Eighteen Massacres’ mana, but it was too late. The Deputy Chief Procurator, who was finally free, killed Eighteen Massacres instantly with Sacred Fire since her stats were doubled by the “symbiosis” effect. After losing Eighteen Massacres, who could hold the Boss back, Twilight Transmigration’s state was incomplete at that moment. In the end, they were all annihilated by the two Bosses without a chance to escape.
Wiped out!
“God damn it, Dark Priest, don’t you have eyes?” Eighteen Massacres scolded. “Great, everybody was wiped out. How are we going to continue?”
The pitiful little Dark Priest in the team was used as a scapegoat. He had to apologize and compensate to the team, and would not be receiving any drops from this battle.
Character Z frowned and said in a deep voice, “Okay, stop whining. Revive as fast as possible. Twilight Transmigration has a bottle of mana potion that provides unlimited mana for 5 minutes. Give it to Eighteen Massacres later on, and we’ll try again!”
Everyone revived, and Eighteen Massacres earned a bottle of potion.
Unlimited mana! With infinite mana, one would be able to use an unlimited number of skills without any worries. This was a magical potion! However, players could only get their hands on the counterfeit potion, which would only last for 10 seconds. An unlimited mana potion that would last for 5 minutes was a top-grade item. It was a treasure!
Character Z was really giving his all! He wanted to obtain first clear before Lin Jie!
After everyone revived, they stood in front of the two Bosses.
“I’m going now!” A hint of mischief flashed across Eighteen Massacres’ eyes. Without any further words, he swallowed the potion and immediately cast his skill, absorbing the Deputy Chief’s skill. Although Character Z realized that something was a little off, he had no choice but to send out his command since Eighteen Massacres had already begun the battle.
Boom—
-7,454!
The moment the Shield Specialist used Life Growl and cast his buffs to increase his defensive stats before starting to pull aggro, he was instantly killed by a slap from the Berserker.
“What on earth?”
“F*ck!”
Character Z carefully observed the Boss and cursed out loud. “F*ck, symbiosis! It’s already stacked by a few hundred times!”
That was right, even if players had left the battle midway, their symbiosis buff would continue to stack! Great, their unlimited mana potion was consumed too, and that was their only bottle! Even Brotherhood or the Sky Provisions Shop would not have such a high-grade item. An unlimited mana potion that lasted for 5 whole minutes!
“God damn it… Retreat, retreat, retreat!” Character Z roared in rage. His eyes looked listless as if he had his energy drained!
At that moment, a system announcement sounded.
—System Announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Lone Wolf”. His team Savage Blade has obtained the first clear of Deputy Chief Procurator Aneira and first clear of Berserker Gilles! He is rewarded with 2,250,000 EXP, 20 gold coins, 500 Guild of Light Reputation Points, and 4 additional Stat Points.
“Lone Wolf! F*ck!” Character Z could not hold back any longer and roared out loud as he punched the ground.
