Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe was a skill created by the Barbarians. At the peak of the skill, a slash of the axe could kill tens of thousands of Devils and two Legendary Devils! Even Lin Jie also wanted such a skill. However, it was a big problem regarding how to make use of that Barbarian to learn the skill.
“Barbarian, if you give me the skill Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe, I can ask the Holy Church Knight Leader to find a body for you to help you revive, how’s that?” Lin Jie tried to tempt him.
The Barbarian Graham said awkwardly, “My master, I vow to be willing to do anything in exchange for the chance of revival but the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe is what I cannot teach to you as only the pure lineage of Barbarians is able to accept the heritage through the memory from the bloodline and understand the skill.”
“Bloodline Heritage? You make sense. Since you’ve recovered some power, then continue gathering the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe for me.” Lin Jie waved his hand and kept the Goblet of Soul back into his backpack, but he had no plans to summon it again.
Meeting an NPC in the Ancient Wilderness Temple who would help Lin Jie whole-heartedly without any reason? Only idiots would believe such a thing was true! Even if one was the main character in a novel and had script immunity, they would not have such a good deal.
Only those that were grasped in one’s hands belonged to oneself. Even if it was the sure thing, it could also be messed up. Lin Jie was very much on guard against such high IQ NPCs.
‘Let’s tidy the items of the mission first.’ Lin Jie took out that sack, and his eyes goggled in shock. ‘Bloodline Heritage? From the information that Magus Berserker had revealed, the God of War must have come to the Ancient Wilderness Temple to obtain the Bloodline Heritage from the Ancient Barbarians, right? If the mission is completed, I wonder if I can change my bloodline. Barbarians are natural-born warriors, and a race that is extremely suitable to battle as the growth rate of the Barbarians’ strength is 10% higher than humans.’
The sword sliced the sack into pieces, and the items inside all dropped out.
5 finely processed [Roche Crystals] were the same as the materials of the Goblet of Soul, and both of them belonged to the old ancient type of ores. It was already very difficult to be mined in The New Age, only the City of Barbarians, where Barbarians lived, had some left. However, if it was used for Smithing, then it would be able to increase the Armor Ignore effect of the weapon, but the value would be very small.
Lin Jie opened the quaint and tattered book and got a shock. It was actually [Barbarism Potionery]! The Barbarism Potionery was equal to Perfect Potion Mastery. Still, the main focus of the Perfect Potion Mastery was the gentle development of the medicinal properties, increasing the success rate, while Barbarism Potionery pursued the limits of potions!
For example, a bottle of Mana Potion, if made by Perfect Potion Mastery, it would be able to recover 100 points of Mana, but if made by Barbarism Potionery, it could recover 500 points! However, there were, of course, flaws in making potions using Barbarism Potionery, such as the failure rate was as high as 90%. After using the Barbarism Potions, it would result in a series of side effects, such as being unable to use potions in a short period of time or Silencing oneself.
Also, there were two Skull Pendants.
[Shadow Curse] (Gold)
Requires: Level 30
Agility: +15
Wisdom: +15
Spirit: +15
Additional effect: Your skill and normal attack would have a 3% chance of causing your target to be inflicted with one abnormal status such as Blind, Binding, and Loss of Strength. It lasts for 3 seconds.
Additional effect: When your skill hits the target, the target’s speed would be decreased by 5%, allowed to be stacked 3 times.
It was one of the best necklaces for Dark Priests!
Dark Priest was a job that relied heavily on skills that dealt damage over time, such as Dark Speech. Shadow Curse not only increased one’s Wisdom and Spirit, but it also provided them another means to control the target.
‘Eh, what is this?’ Lin Jie grabbed the three scrolls from the sack and was astonished. That was the [Magus Berserker Scroll], which recorded hundreds of sorceries, and there were a total of three. As Lin Jie’s job was not the hidden job Sorcerer, he could not understand the sorceries recorded on it.
In reality, Lin Jie would not change his job even if that scroll came with the job-changing chance. It was the easiest for Sorcerers to learn skills; for example, this Magus Berserker Scroll recorded hundreds of skills that could be learned in one day. However, if the Sorcerer wanted to use the skill, it was very troublesome.
Take the Self-Exploding Toad, for example, the player would need to capture over 200 toads at the Level 20 Muddy Swamp and gather or buy large amounts of poisonous plants to feed them. It was like rearing venomous worms 1 where the toads would devour each other until the last six, which were also the strongest ones, were left. Then, only after refining it with the Magus Berserker Scroll would they become Self-Exploding Toads.
Every time a Sorcerer fought, it would need the Sorcerer a few or even tens of days of preparation!
However, these three Magus Berserker Scrolls were still useful! Having these scrolls would allow Lin Jie to overcome the job limitations and use sorceries, where one scroll would be consumed with each use. Meanwhile, the precondition for the sorcery to work would naturally be that one had enough materials to meet the activating condition. Lin Jie did not have toads, which were refined, and naturally, Lin Jie would not be able to use Self-Exploding Toads.
Lastly, it was the Levitation Grass.
[Levitation Grass]: Rare material. It can be directly consumed. It will allow you to have the ability to stay in the air for 10 minutes.
‘I found it, the Levitation Grass!’ Lin Jie was elated. ‘After the mission ends, I’ll give the Levitation Grass to Seven Ears to refine it, and then ask Phoenix to help enhance my equipment. After that, my jumping ability would be increased greatly.’
Together with the Holy Light Winged Armor and Feather Drop, it would be much easier for Lin Jie if he had to climb places like Atlas Peak.
Lin Jie stored the Levitation Grass into his backpack, and then, he subconsciously took a look at the Ancient Wilderness Curse. That curse had already been stacked to 3 layers. Although it provided 15% additional damage, Lin Jie had to be more careful in killing monsters in the subsequent missions, and that was not a good thing.

—Mission notice: You have successfully entered the Ancient Wilderness Temple and killed the Magus Berserker guarding the Ancient Temple. The Secret Techniques of Clomaros mission has started, do you wish to enter the plot?
Yes!
A ray of light enveloped Lin Jie and pulled him into the scenes of the plot.
The Secret Technique of Clomaros Mission was, in fact, to allow the players to experience for themselves the story before Clomaros became the God of War. This plot was the story of Clomaros heading towards the Ancient Wilderness Temple in hope of obtaining the Ancient Barbarians Lineage to improve his constitution.
As compared to in the first volume where Clomaros had still been a small kid, he had now become a young adult with golden hair and gave people a valiant vibe. He rested the two axes on his shoulders and barged into the Ancient Wilderness Temple. He had been stopped by countless of Barbarians, so he went into a rage and started slaughtering those around him. With each slash was a life taken and directly killed until the Ancient Wilderness Temple was piled with corpses everywhere, countless of Barbarians’ souls gathered in the sky as though a hurricane.
At that moment, the Magus Berserker that Lin Jie had encountered appeared.
The background of when Ancient Wilderness Temple was built was during the time where the Barbarians had ruled over The New Age. The Clan Heads of each tribe all answered the calling and entered the Ancient Wilderness Temple, where they never appeared again.
The reason for all that was the Magus Berserker, the Barbarians’ betrayer! He had gathered all the Clan Heads under the pretense of choosing a leader to rule over The New Age. Thus, those Barbarians stayed there and lost their memories by sorcery, their flesh deteriorated day by day and was then sacrificed by the Magus Berserker to a great and mysterious power.
That was only until the young Clomaros barged in and destroyed the Flesh Sacrificial Ritual when he wreaked havoc out there. The Magus Berserker flew into a rage and battled with Clomaros, then without any other choice, the Magus Berserker used Soul Detonation to injure Clomaros. In the end, Clomaros also did not obtain the Barbarians Lineage.
A virtual figure of Clomaros appeared. He wore a golden helmet and armor and held a greatsword in his hands. That was one of the hundreds of duplicates Clomaros had—Greatsword Copy.
“You have killed the Magus Berserker… Very good!”
After Clomaros finished his sentence, he waved his right hand and sent Lin Jie back to the Ancient Wilderness Temple.
‘F*ck!!! The God of War actually spoke!’ Lin Jie’s heart started thumping. What was a god? It was a superior presence, which was high up and looking down on everyone else—that was a god!
In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had the title of Battle Emperor and had participated in many missions regarding the God of War, but he never had once heard Clomaros’ voice.
It looked like Clomaros had experienced setbacks from the Magus Berserker, so when Lin Jie killed the Magus Berserker, he had taken revenge for Clomaros!
Lin Jie stood at his spot and all around him from his head to his toe were all the notes from the sentence the God of War had said, “You have killed the Magus Berserker… Very good!”. Such a sentence by the God of War had actually created shockwaves in the air with tens of millions of notes, as though it was a forbidden spell of notes! That was the power of a god, fearsome!
The sentence, which Clomaros had said, transformed into countless notes that swiveled in the air and dazzled one’s eye, making them confused. A total of seven words flew around as though Blade Aura.
Lin Jie understood that it was a test!
The god’s voice was the music of the sky, which should not appear in The New Age. Once it appeared, then it would be a precious asset! It was much more valuable than things like Levitation Grass and pendants! In those words, two represented the way of the Warrior, one was “Berserker”, and the other was “kill”.
Lin Jie locked his stare at the note in front of him and took action!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Countless words “kill” gathered to form a hurricane that engulfed Lin Jie’s body and continued to pour in!
—’Your Strength has increased by 5 points.’
—’Your Strength has increased by 10 points.’
—’Your Strength has increased by 10 points.’

—’Your skill [Weakness Exploit] has evolved to [Clomaros’ Kill]’
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, it was Clomaros’ Kill!
[Clomaros’ Kill]: Whenever you wave your sword and strike the weak point, you will deal an additional 400% damage. The cooldown time is 10 minutes.
Clomaros’ Kill, Lin Jie had never heard of such a skill even in his previous life! Even if it was the hero character Wind Rider Sword Saint, he would not dare to use the word “Clomaros” in his skills.
‘I had once boasted without shame that I wanted to obtain the Clomaros’ Heritage, but now it looks like I have hope now! Could the Clomaros’ Kill be the first step in the Clomaros’ Heritage?’ Lin Jie laughed out heartily before he suddenly transformed. On the surface of his body emerged a golden helmet and golden armor, a Heavy Sword God of War could be seen. Lin Jie released an overbearing and fearsome aura as if he were a god, who really descended, able to wipe out everything!
Lin Jie waved his Broken Blade and that golden Heavy Sword instantly elongated by 15 yards, slashing towards the extremely hard Ancient Wilderness Temple’s walls. The moment those walls came in contact with the golden sword, it exploded, and the ground was filled with scattered stones falling!
Clomaros’ Kill!
‘Hahahaha, with this skill, who is still able to fight me? The Champion title of the first final battle is definitely mine! However, this is an ultimate skill that must be hidden well!’ Upon witnessing the formidable power of the Clomaros’ Kill, Lin Jie raised his brows, trying to calm himself down.
In front of him, a Space Spiral had been opened.
