“Dong—”
Grace’s head was chopped off by Lin Jie, it rolled on the ground for a few rounds and then landed on one side.
The Devil Statue sparkled. Had Qiu Yuan not died, they would only need to walk behind the statue, where Renault’s corpse was located. Doing so, they would enter the Hero-level.
“Revive Qiu Yuan.” Lin Jie sat on the ground, retrieved a loaf of bread and took a bite.
Bu Yi conjured Holy Light and revived Qiu Yuan. That barbaric girl hatefully stepped on the Boss’ corpse a few times before sitting down with a thud. She complained angrily, “That was too humiliating! Actually kneeling down to that Boss.”
Bu Yi chuckled and said, “Little Yuan’s performance just now was very courageous.”
“Indeed, like a crazy old lady.” Wine God Elder gave a thumbs up.”Worthy of being taught by me through beating.”
Netherblue took a look at the Boss, and she asked curiously, “The Boss is not dead?”
“She’s dead,” said Lin Jie.
“Then the announcement…”
Lin Jie took a bite before replying, “Wait for ten minutes, then she will be completely dead.”
Qiu Yuan asked in doubt, “Then why not fight the Hero-level? You have battled all along, it can’t be you have given up on it?”
Lin Jie took a deep look at Qiu Yuan and nodded. He said, “Yes, I’ve given up.”
“Why?”
“If all of us killed the Boss without deaths after she died, Renault’s corpse would be spawned behind the Devil Statue. After touching it, we would enter the Hero-level. The Boss would also revive. Also, the Boss possesses memory system. After she revives, she will continuously make you kneel down. Hero-level needs at least a few hours to clear, in other words, you will need to kneel for a few hours too.”
Qiu Yuan gaze swept swiftly over everyone, and then she said stubbornly, “Kneel then kneel! Let’s fight the Hero-level, stand up, stand up!”
Zheng Ziliang dug his nose. “I’m not fighting.”
“I’m tired, don’t want to fight.”
“Hehe, as a homebody, I can’t bear to see a beauty suffer. I’m not fighting either.”
“Me neither!”
Everyone spoke one after the other.
Qiu Yuan glared at everyone and then patted Baili Changcheng’s shoulder. She said seriously, “Hero-level has increased drop-rate, there will be Dark Gold equipment. Dark Gold equipment! All of you really want to fight now, right?”
Baili Changcheng blinked his eyes and blurted out a word, “Oh.”
“Ahhhhhhh! Don’t be like this, I’ll feel very guilty.” Qiu Yuan stomped her foot, she was so angry she jumped up and down. “Let’s fight okay? Come on say okay, come on say okay?”
Netherblue gave Lin Jie a look, hurrying him to say something, or else according to Qiu Yuan’s stubborn temper, she would really attribute all the blame to herself.
“Cough, Renault is a level 20 Enhanced Overlord, together with Grace that believes in Brother Chun 1 (revived in full condition), we can’ win.” Lin Jie’s eyeballs turned as he pulled out a virtual screen. He continued, “Also, look at their progress.”
————
“Hurry and attack!” shouted Eighteen Massacres. At that moment, Grace’s health points had already decreased to 20% as the Spellcasters of Curse had exploded away a large portion of her mana. Although she had mana restoration, under the situation where she was unable to freely summon devils, the first stage was forcibly cleared.
Meanwhile at the second stage, what was most difficult was the Boss’ Spirit Control skill. Surprisingly, it was completely restricted by Eighteen Massacres!
Eighteen Massacres’ path had a big change from in Lin Jie’s previous life, entering the Dark Shrine allowed him to learn many skills that belonged to the Dark Shrine—Dark Order was one of them. When one of his teammates died, he could revive his teammate with 20% of the attributes and become a Skeleton Guard. The Skeleton Guard did not have any soul, so naturally, it would not be affected by Spirit Control.
In the situation after Eighteen Massacres’ teammates were almost all killed, he cunningly hid at a corner. As long as he was not controlled, then with the remaining teammates, even dealing 1 point of damage with every attack, hitting Grace to death was not a problem!
Demon Robe, who had already turned into a dark black skeleton, turned his head and his jaws moved up and down as he spoke. “Eighteen Massacres, I heard that Brotherhood is almost successful at killing the final Boss.”
Eighteen Massacres eyes gleamed, and he said, “Don’t worry, they always kill every Boss in Hero-level, the final Boss is not an exception! The official website mentioned that there is a plot about Knight Leader Renault for the final Boss. The Hero-level is definitely related to him, the time spent would only be longer.”
“Gagaga, then that’s great, that’s great.” Demon Robe laughed heartily. “Oh yes, the boss wants to meet you.”
“No way.” Eighteen Massacres replied in a deep and low voice. “After I take the first clear of the Belief Church and obtain that mysterious item, I would naturally have the ability to have a fair negotiation with him…”
Ding~
—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Lone Wolf”. His team “Savage Blade” has obtained the first clear of Normal-level Priestess Grace! First clear of the dungeon Belief Church!

—’System announcement: Congratulations to player “Codename Dark Blue”. Her team “Savage Blade” has obtained the first clear of Normal-level Priestess Grace! First clear of the dungeon Belief Church! She is rewarded with 500 War of Light points, 2,000,000 EXP, 20 gold coins, 500 Guild of Light reputation points and Light Talisman x2! Additional rewards of Gold Treasure Map!’
…
This time, the system actually used the high-end classy rainbow-colored font, it was actually repeated for a total of 10 times before stopping. The ring of the system that could be heard beside his ears made Eighteen Massacres completely stunned.
“Hehehehe, looks like you don’t have the ability anymore.” Demon Robe laughed, his white chin let out a burst of horrifying laughter.
—————
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Belief Church’s golden light continued shining, the rich reward nearly made people scream out in joy! Besides receiving large amounts of experience points, gold coins, Light points, and reputation, each of them even received a Gold Treasure Map! The treasure map was a good item, the equipment obtained could vary one grade, that was to say, Gold treasure maps could dig out good items that were from Silver to Dark Gold grade!
Meanwhile, the special reward Lin Jie had received left him astonished. ‘Mysterious Key?’
“Yoho, the location of my hidden treasure is just in the dungeon,” exclaimed Baili Changcheng and he walked a few steps. He aimed at a place and used the treasure map. With a ding, a round egg as tall as half a person was in his hand.
Everyone was shocked, how could there be such a huge egg?
However, Lin Jie recognized that egg, that was the super rare item—an egg of a mount!
Normally, there were only three ways to obtain a mount: Gain reputation to buy it, kill monsters to obtain it, and rely on Forward Charge Paladins to raise and train it themselves. Meanwhile, the Mount Egg was an independent method besides those three ways. The mount that it produced was completely random if one’s luck was good enough, it was even possible for one to even get a phoenix egg!
“Hahahaha, I’m rich, I’m rich.” Baili Changcheng laughed heartily. “Is everyone at Jiang City? I’ll treat everyone at the food stalls. ahahahaha…”
Lin Jie was rendered speechless. ‘This guy…’
“Come and look, bro’s lucky hand!” Zheng Ziliang rubbed his hand and felt through the corpse, touching the corpse to find loots would become addictive! As the Guardian Boss, Grace’s drop-rate was relatively amazing, 25 pieces of equipment, none of it below Gold!
Not only so, but at the top of the equipment list was also two Dark Gold equipment!
[Belief Leg Guard] (Dark Gold)

Defense: 55-80
Strength: +15
Endurance: +25
Strength Judgement: +110

“Physical job, let’s Roll,” said Lin Jie as he smiled and threw the leg guard up and back into his hand.
That leg guard was Dark Gold, but it was far from being as powerful as the other Dark Gold equipment – that was the common problem of all the set equipment.
Even so, its attributes could still beat Gold equipment by a lot. Its defense was comparable to the shield’s, a total of 40 points of attributes’ enhancement, and it even provided an immunity skill.
Physical jobs all took out their dices one after another. The so-called Roll was to see which one’s dice had the largest value!
Lin Jie rolled. First, he had rolled a splendid 90 points, which was relatively good! However, he had obviously underestimated the others’ luck. Wine God Brothers, Baili Changcheng, Mixed Breathless, and Netherblue all rolled over 95 points. Meanwhile, Mixed Breathless and Netherblue had actually gotten 100 points at the same time! They had no choice but to roll again.
Finally, the Dark Gold greave was obtained by Netherblue who had gotten 100 points in two rounds, instantly overpowering Mixed Breathless!
Mixed Breathless could only sigh that he was too “handsome”, “handsome” without comparison. 2
“Here.” Netherblue threw the greave towards Lin Jie. “This counts as the fees for your teaching.”
“Teaching fees…” Lin Jie remembered the scene of himself beating Netherblue up fiercely and laughed awkwardly. Most probably he was recognized from the Ice Spirit Slash.
The Dark Gold greave just nicely replaced Lin Jie’s Silver armor, his defense increased by a huge portion. His defense was as high as 440 points, even if the defense of the shield was not calculated, he was already comparable to a Blood Bull.
The second equipment was an Assisting Accessory.
[Book of Prayers] (Dark Gold)
Can be used by Mages and Priests.
Fire Damage +20
Additional effect: Level 2 Elemental Tremor Magic
It was actually a Magic Book! Everyone was astonished beyond belief. Magic Books belonged to Assisting Accessory, which meant that a player equipped with Magic Book would be unable to equip dual staff – one must equip single-handed staff or magical jobs’ dagger. The attributes of Magic Books were relatively normal, but they had an additional effect: Additional skill!
Magic Books recorded about 1 to 5 skills at random and could be directly released. According to the grade of the Magic Book, the skills obtained would be different.
“There is just one Fire Mage here.”
“Fat Cattle, take it.”
“It actually is a Magic Book! Let’s see what skills it has.”
Everyone urged him one after the other, as they all wanted to see the power of this rare item.
Domestic Fat Cattle excitedly held the Magic Book in his left hand. Within his pupils appeared a magic circle that was carved with fire runes.
“Fire Elemental Tremor… Oh, I understand now.” Domestic Fat Cattle gathered a fireball then dispersed it with a slap. The scattered fire sparks exploded with the spell.
That was a skill that could convert normal magic to become Area-Of-Effect magic!
“Let’s also obtain the first clear of the second dungeon in a go!”
“Yes. yes.”
Lin Jie smiled bitterly. “The second dungeon requires the players’ levels to be above level 25, and it’s also a 25 man dungeon. It’s not so simple to clear it.”
“Just nice, I’ll treat everyone a drink at the bar, let’s go, go, go,” said Domestic Fat Cattle happily as he held onto the Magic Book in his hand excitedly.
Lin Jie took a look at the Mysterious Key in his hand and nodded his head. “Let’s go and have a drink.”
Walking out of the dungeon, the originally lively entrance of the dungeon became quieter by quite a bit.
Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed, he said in a deep and low voice, “Everyone… Be careful.”
