Knight Wasteland.
Following a loud roar, Mona’s body collapsed heavily onto the ground as if it had its energy drained. Beside his body was another large corpse. This old granny was Mona’s mother.
Character Z pulled out his blade from the Boss’ body and shook off the bloodstains on the sword. His longsword, Spirit Wind, had a special attribute of Infinite Durability, which meant that it never had to be repaired, making it a top-grade weapon.
Character Z said with satisfaction to the Knight next to him, “The information from your videos is on the spot! You are indeed Lone Wolf’s rival. You were right, half of the Boss’ skills were sealed by letting him kill his own mother. With that, he could be easily killed. I have to thank you for our success.”
The person he was talking to was Eighteen Massacres!
Eighteen Massacres scoffed. “It took me a lot of effort to get my hands on this piece of information. Did Lone Wolf think I was an idiot who would listen to his beck and call? How naive! Also, remember my conditions for working with you?”
“Of course, since you gave me such detailed information behind Baili Xuanyuan’s back. After Twilight Transmigration obtains the first clear of the final Boss, we’ll be taking in Savage Blade as our new members. By then, I’ll naturally hand Lone Wolf over to you. You can treat him any way you want.” Character Z laughed out loud. So, it seemed that he had made such a deal with Eighteen Massacres!
Twilight Transmigration was in an alliance with Baili Xuanyuan and was taking the lead to fight against the Brotherhood. As such, they had the privilege to make use of any of the elite players in the Three Alliances. The only price they had to pay was to announce that the Three Alliances obtained first clear along with Twilight Transmigration when they succeeded.
How cunning was Character Z actually? When it came to money, relationships were forgotten. Character Z had found Eighteen Massacres, who had been providing videos of the Bosses to Baili Xuanyuan. He had then requested for him to quietly give him the videos without Baili Xuanyuan knowing. In return, he would help him fulfill his revenge against Lone Wolf.
The two parties were in agreement. Naturally, Eighteen Massacres had accepted Character Z’s deal and handed over the information on Mona to him. It had given them the clue about Mona’s mother, which helped Twilight Transmigration find a Character Card.
Lin Jie’s plan was to find an opportunity for Mona to kill his own mother to seal the Boss’ skills by half before taking the chance to push him down. In the end, everyone’s abilities exceeded Lin Jie’s expectations, and they succeeded flawlessly. Lastly, they used the Character Card and were immediately able to take down the Boss.Read latest chapters at NovelFull
Now, Lin Jie’s plan was used by Twilight Transmigration instead.
Character Z said in a low voice, “It’ll be the last map soon. That place is called Devils’ Prison, right?”
Eighteen Massacres turned towards him and nodded. “Yes, the last three Bosses are hidden in Devils’ Prison. According to my insider info from Savage Blade, we have to lead the fourth Boss Deputy Chief Procurator Aneira away and kill the fifth Boss Berserker Gilles. The two of them are twin-type Bosses. Killing one of them would cause the other’s power to decrease greatly.”
“Oh? Twin-type?”
“Yes, it means that when the two Bosses work together, their stats will double. The moment they are separated, they become trash! The fourth Boss, Deputy Chief Procurator, has the ability to summon. However, the fifth Boss does not.”
Character Z was rather skeptical of Eighteen Massacres’ words. He was unsure and pondered.
Eighteen Massacres coldly smiled and said, “Old Z, what are you hesitating for? I hate Lone Wolf to the bones, harming you would mean helping him. Why would I do that? Since you can’t make a decision, I’ll just hand these over to Baili Xuanyuan. Now that he is anxious to gain success quickly, the rights to the army would be mine.”
“Haha, buddy, what are you saying? Let’s go, we’ll go to Devils’ Prison first. If the fifth Boss is really as weak as you’ve mentioned, we’ll kill all the Bosses in one go!” Character Z patted Eighteen Massacres’ back and laughed.
At that moment, Eighteen Massacres stood up straight and smiled as if he had received good news.
“The team led by Lone Wolf tried to fight the twin Bosses at Hero-Level together and was wiped out! No wonder the first clear notice is not out.” Eighteen Massacres smirked. “Let’s go, let’s not delay this any longer. We’ll get first clear! For now, even if Lone Wolf got through the Hero-Level, the first clear notice would not appear again. Let’s go!”
To obtain first clear at the Hero-Level would require them to attain first clear of all Bosses. If they were to kill the Berserker Boss, Savage Blade’s Hero-Level first clear would go down the drain! Everything would be going Twilight Transmigration’s way as long as they obtained first clear of the Berserker. With that, Savage Blade’s hope of getting the last reward would be gone!
…
Devils’ Prison.
Lin Jie was leaning in a corner by himself with his limbs sprawled out. His eyelids were drooping, and his head was nodding as he began to doze off. He was exhausted and wanted to take a good nap.
After killing three Bosses, the other members of Savage Blade had used up a considerable amount of energy. They were then commanded by Lin Jie to rest offline. He was the only one left in the game and was waiting for news.
“Cloak, return!”
Following Lin Jie’s command, the cloak, which resembled a blood fog, on his back turned into a soft cotton pillow, allowing him to lie comfortably on it. This cloak was the special equipment dropped by the Enraged Berserker—[Bloodsweeping Cloak].
[Bloodsweeping Cloak] (Dark Gold Fragment)
Requires: Level 41
Defense: 93-120
Strength: +75
Endurance: +30
Agility: +15
Additional effect: +5% chance of causing the target to Bleed, +20% Bleeding Damage
Additional effect: When you cause your target to Bleed, your Attack Speed and Movement Speed will be increased by 10%
Note: The Bloodsweeping Cloak is an incomplete item, you have to collect the Bloodsweeping Gem Inscription, Bloodsweeping Dark Rune, and Bloodsweeping Golden Silk in order to unleash its full strength.
The Bloodsweeping Cloak was the most suited for Berserkers and Bandits among all the equipment dropped in the Holy Light Temple. It increased the chance of causing a target to bleed as well as attack. Most importantly, it looked cool! After putting on the Bloodsweeping Cloak, it looked as if there was a layer of mist shrouding Lin Jie’s back, which gently floated even without wind. It faintly resembled a shattered cloak that looked powerful and eye-catching.
Furthermore, the blood fog was tangible and could be folded. It could be used as a blanket if he wanted to sleep but was too lazy to go offline… Originally, Star Kill and Lin Jie were both competing over this cloak. However, after Star Kill obtained a Dark Gold hooked dagger, he generously let Lin Jie have the cloak.
The Enraged Berserker Boss was a combination of two Bosses, so naturally, its drop rate was pretty good. They obtained 6 pieces of Dark Gold Fragments, 1 complete Dark Gold item, and a large amount of Bronze equipment and materials. Lastly, they even attained a Skill Book, Sacred Fire, which was the Deputy Chief’s signature move. It was given to Bu Yi as it would allow her to train much easier.
Unfortunately, the Sub-Legendary wand fragment, the Deputy Chief’s White Jade Wand, was shattered. An exorbitant amount of materials and luck were needed to put the fragments back, and these materials were not easy to obtain!
“Darn it, I’m so tired…” Lin Jie yawned. He shook his head and muttered to himself, “If it weren’t for the private chat that required 10 minutes waiting time before the real-life notification is sent, I would’ve gone to sleep. Phew…”
Ding~
—”You have received a voice message.”
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. ‘It’s finally here!’
When he opened the message, a deep electronic voice spoke. “Lone Wolf, I’ve done what you asked me to do. They are now fighting Berserker Gilles as you’ve expected. They’ll be wiped out soon.”
That person was Eighteen Massacres!
Yes, the videos of the dungeons given to Twilight Transmigration and Baili Xuanyuan had all been filmed by Zheng Ziliang. Lin Jie had given them to Eighteen Massacres and asked him to deliver them! His intention was to let Eighteen Massacres return to a core position in the Three Alliances once again so that he would be able to obtain even more insider information. Also, he wanted to screw over Baili Xuanyuan and Twilight Transmigration.
Eighteen Massacres was Baili Xuanyuan’s underling, while Character Z was Baili Xuanyuan’s partner. However, Character Z wanted to secretly work with Eighteen Massacres to reap more benefits. This was just like the mantis that stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. In the end, Character Z fell into Lin Jie’s trap.
At that moment, Twilight Transmigration’s elite team must have depleted the health of Gilles below 30% and attracted the Deputy Chief Procurator. They would have triggered their symbiosis and get wiped out!
Thinking about that, Lin Jie became filled with energy. He gave a thumbs up and laughed out loud. “Eighteen Massacres, well done! That group of people should have their levels dropped now. Not only will this make them take a step back from advancing jobs, but it will also stop their dungeon progress. Working with you is indeed enjoyable.”
“Since you helped me regain my power, I’ll naturally give back what I owe,” said Eighteen Massacres, sounding as if he was willing to sacrifice for his ally. His loyalty could be felt and seemed trustworthy. He added, “After this dungeon is over, I’ll be getting a mission. I hope that you can help me with it.”
“What mission?”
“To explore the ruins of the Sun Sword Saint!”
Lin Jie was shocked. The ruins of the Sun Sword Saint was an ancient ruin that originated from the City of Light. Who would have expected Eighteen Massacres to actually invite him to explore the place together? Without needing to think, it was clear that this fellow had other motives. One would be to increase his power by obtaining the treasure in the ancient ruin, and the other to find an opportunity to kill him.
Nobody would just do something for free. Lin Jie could clearly grasp Eighteen Massacres’ mind.
“Okay, give me an update at that time, and I’ll go with you. I’ll help you collect some information on the Sun Swordsmanship, which would raise your position in the Three Alliances.” Lin Jie agreed.
“Okay, we’ll talk about this later. I have to go.” Eighteen Massacres nodded and hung up. Soon after, a video request was received by Lin Jie.
The video request was a form of communication through video. Unlike voice communication, this service… required money. Every minute cost 50 silver coins, which was also 50 dollars in real life. It was practically daylight robbery.
“Are you trying to remove my suspicions?” Lin Jie smirked. “Eighteen Massacres, I’ve crossed paths with you so many times in the past, why would I be so easily tricked by you? Oh well, no harm in watching.”
Lin Jie opened the video and could see through Eighteen Massacres’ eyes that the battle was at its climax! Character Z’s long blade was being swung around, and tornadoes were sent out. Along with the strength of Twilight Transmigration and Three Alliances’ elite force, the Berserker Gilles was beaten terribly!
Character Z raised his blade up high and roared, “Brothers, the Boss has less than 35% of his health. We’ll kill him at once! The first clear is ours!”
