“The mission’s final location is that mound on top of the hill. If we complete the remaining missions in Winer Town, all the Undead will be gone by then.” Lin Jie explained as he passed some Middle-Grade Invisibility Potions to Bu Yi, “Later on, just follow me.”
Bu Yi looked upon the monsters’ attributes and questioned, “So we have to kill all those monsters? That seems pretty easy.” Those monsters had terrible stats, and even a Priest like her would be able to wipe them all out.
“To obtain the item that can slay the third Boss, the prerequisite is that we cannot kill any Winer Townsfolk, including all those Undead. Based on the system’s usual trend, how will they make the items easily obtainable? There must be a whole lot of traps laid for the players.” Lin Jie chuckled and said, “If we blindly kill the monsters here, we won’t be able to get anything. Let’s go, follow me.”
As they gulped down the potion, Lin Jie and Bu Yi grew blurry, translucent, and then completely vanished in thin air. They began treading carefully up the hill.
Normal-Level Undead did not have a high sensitivity of people, so they would not be discovered if they kept at least a 7 yards distance. However, those Undead had a randomized route, and as such, they would have to be on alert and be adaptable to any changes.
“Silver-Feathered Eagle!”
Screech—
With Silver-Feathered Eagle’s Spirit Vision, Lin Jie was able to have a panoramic view of the surroundings, and all the Undead could not escape his eyes. However, it wasn’t as easy for Bu Yi to avoid the Undead. As a Priest, she had spent most of her time at the back of the team, being protected from monsters and dangers. Thus, she did not have many experiences entering dungeons alone. She looked at the surrounding Undead cautiously with uneasy steps, fearing that she would draw out any aggro.
Lin Jie grabbed Bu Yi’s hands and said gently, “Follow my footsteps and bend down.”
Despite the situation, Bu Yi couldn’t contain the blush that crept up her cheeks. However, she still bent down her head out of instinct and glued her eyes to the ground, fully ignoring all the Undead.
Lin Jie was delighted as he fell the softness in his hands. Although he felt that he took advantage of the situation… it was all for the mission. Didn’t the television channels always show all types of spies and detectives tv shows where officers had to pretend to be a couple when they were on a mission so as to not get exposed? Those couples made out in public, while he only held her hand, so it was still understandable.
After giving himself a ridiculous excuse, Lin Jie held onto Bu Yi’s hand tightly.
At that moment, the Undead were in the best ‘S’ formation that allowed them to move along! Lin Jie activated Wild Charge and bolted up with Bu Yi, whose speed rose quite significantly as well, leaving behind afterimages.
After passing this group of Undead and several other vicious-looking wandering Undead, both of them finally reached their destination, the hill peak.
“You are still not letting go…” Lin Jie only realized that Bu Yi was trying hard to shake her hand out of his hold when her meek voice sounded.
Lin Jie coughed dryly and let go abruptly. “There were too many monsters, I got nervous for a moment.”
Bu Yi’s face grew red like a tomato as she stomped her foot and said, “Let’s go do the mission now.”
Lin Jie nodded, and his Broken Blade was in the excavator mode once again. The mud together with the skeletons had been accumulated and compressed over time, so it was solid and hard to dig through if one did not have at least a Gold weapon. However, the Broken Blade? It was a Heritage weapon, wouldn’t dig some bones be a piece of cake?
On the other hand, Bu Yi… although some manners and etiquette had faded with time, and one-night stands were no longer a rarity, conservative families still existed. Bu Yi’s parents were traditionalists. They were both teachers, and Bu Yi had a strict upbringing. Although holding hands was just a small gesture, it still made her heart thump loudly in her chest.
‘Is she angry?’ Lin Jie eyed Bu Yi while he dug. A pink hue crept up her cheeks, coupled with her large wandering eyes, she was adorable. However, she did not dare to look at Lin Jie.
‘Not angry! Great!’
Lin Jie laughed out, and at that moment, if one were not attentive, they would miss a wisp of grey smoke rose in the air, which vanished soon after.
“Chechechecheche—”
Creepy laughter sounded from the mud as gigantic skeletons with crowns extended their claws towards Lin Jie.
[Bones Overlord]: Lever 39 Gold Boss, Health Points: 280,000
Special Feature: Ability to control the Undead and regenerate bones.
There was a hidden Level 39 Gold Boss! This was the reason why Lin Jie had to team up with Bu Yi, as the Bones Overlord did not have any attack power, but it was capable of controlling all the hundreds on Undead to fight for him. However, they could not kill those Undead and had to tank the damage.
“Shield Cut!”
Lin Jie was all prepared as he used Shield Cut on the Boss’ jawbone, slicing off half his facial structure, and splinters flew everywhere.
-1,728!
Kacha— Kacha—
The impacted area began regenerating as the bones grew out again. A ‘+864′ value popped up above the Boss’ head. Bones Regeneration allowed the BOSS to regain 50% of the damaged health when he was under attack.
“Chechecheche—”
The Bones Overlord’s jaw stretched as shrill musical tones diffused into the air, motivating the Undead as they charged up behind Lin Jie!
-28! -25!
…
“Blessing Spell!”
Bu Yi closed her eyes and spread her arms as Holy Light begun emitting and landed onto Lin Jie.
[Blessing Spell]: Randomly bless friendly players, causing their attacks to have additional Holy Light attack.
Blessing: Health recovery per second +20.
“I will lock down the monsters.” Bu Yi was very cooperative and made the right choice immediately.
After replenishing Lin Jie’s health bar, Bu Yi began chanting as Holy Light concentrated at the tip of her wand and virtualized into a bishop. Light rays emitted out, restraining the Undead.
[Guidance Divine Spell Leading Holy Light]: You and your target will be unable to move, if interrupted, you will be stunned for 10 seconds.
As he saw the monsters being restrained, Lin Jie was ready and injected 99% of his health points into Sea King Scaly Armor! He went on to activate Death Rage, Blood Power, and Heart of Rage as crimson clouds filled the sky, dyeing it blood red!
All of a sudden, the clouds dispersed, and a majestic sword descended and crashed onto the Boss, just like Doomsday!
Clomaros’ Kill!
-201,922! (Critical Hit)
6 digits damage! This was the strongest damage Lin Jie had ever inflicted and was truly invincible!
The Bones Overlord was smashed to smithereens by Lin Jie’s terrifying attack and was about to reform but was destroyed and instakilled by another Army Obliteration from Lin Jie, who was on his full form!
Ding~
—”Your party has killed the Gold Boss Bones Overlord, you received 850,000 EXP and 100 Guild of Light Reputation Points.”
A Gold Boss, a Boss that required a 40 or even 100-man team to slay, was instakilled by Lin Jie. He was a formidable force!
One of the major reasons for Lin Jie’s success was that the Boss was Level 39 and had yet to level up, thus they did not have strong attributes and invisibility stats. Lin Jie’s level was capable of suppressing it. Furthermore, he had already grasped its characteristics clearly. However, instakilling it was still a major feat, considering that it was a Gold Boss.
When ordinary teams were facing that Boss, due to its bones regeneration skill, after every round of attack, it would regain back half of the lost health points. This was equivalent to the team’s output reduced by 50%.
Furthermore, the Boss’ health points would reduce by 10% whenever it summoned a wave of Undead. When its health points were depleted to the last 10%, it would summon Undead with additional Enraged Mode, and teams could be destroyed in an instant.
However, in the face of Lin Jie’s insane skill damage, it was able to drain the Boss health bar in a single move while ignoring the whole troublesome process just like a BUG.
All of these contributed to how Lin Jie managed to instakill the Boss all by himself. The Boss was probably wailing on its deathbed: How could it be over already, I still have so many skills yet to be used.
The Boss dropped a pair Level 30 Gold leather boots, for Bandits only with Agility +30 and Movement Speed +10%. There was an additional effect of Dark Shadow Steps Level +1. It was a fine item. Besides that, Lin Jie was more focused on the other loot, <Mona’s Diary>.
“Alright, Bu Yi, get out of the state…” Lin Jie let out a breath and waved. However, it struck him that Bu Yi was already stunned! After [Guidance Holy Light] got interrupted, the host would enter a state of stun, serving as the punishment mechanism for a powerful spell. Was Bu Yi’s skill interrupted?
“Hmph.”
A cold snort sounded from behind Lin Jie that caused him to stiffen up. He had heard of this voice somewhere before, who was that?
This guy had the timing down right to the seconds! It was exactly when Lin Jie had killed the Boss, and his skills were in the cooldown period. Even his health bar was dangerously low. Furthermore, he was a cunning one, he had first attacked Bu Yi to stun her and attracted Lin Jie’s attention before launching the sneak attack from behind him.
Such a powerful ambush!
This guy was the Shadower Chaos In The Sky! He had been instakilled by Lin Jie back at Atlas Peak during the first round of Twilight Transmigration. He had been enraged after getting instakilled and had been hunting Lin Jie down day and night in search of revenge. However, Lin Jie’s attributes were so powerful that if he were to attack recklessly, he would be a goner. Recently, Lin Jie had been conquering dungeons, so there had been no chance of attacking.
Thus, he had waited over 10 hours for this very moment, the best opportunity to attack!
“The Shadower is not a Bandit, but an assassin! Critical Hit, Instakill!” Chaos In The Sky shot out like lightning and did not give Lin Jie any time to breathe. His dagger stabbed into Lin Jie back as aura exploded out.
Shadow Attack! Ambush!
-395!
Lin Jie was stunned, and Bu Yi was suffering from the backlash of her skill and was unable to help him. Mad delight flashed through Chaos In The Sky’s eyes as none of his enemies had ever escaped from him when he had the first attack down. Furthermore, Lin Jie was only left with around 200 health points, which were mostly replenished by the ‘Blessing Spell’.
“Die! Lone Wolf, the humiliation I experienced at Atlas Peak, I will make sure you experience multifold of that.” Chaos In The Sky shrieked savagely.
Activate Cold Blood!
Chaos In The Sky’s dagger was instantly covered in a layer of bloody frostiness. Now that Lin Jie was still stunned and had a dangerously low health bar if this attack were to hit, Lin Jie would be dead for good!
