Reborn: Super God of War Chapter 520

Chapter 520 - Monsters Also Knew Formations

“So powerful!”

Very Fat felt the attack towards the top of his forehead, so a drop of cold sweat could not help but flow down. Although that strike was accurately parried by Rebel’s Fight of Lin Jie, it still made him terrified. He became more cautious as he looked at Lin Jie.

‘Was this Codename Lone Wolf’s strength?’

As a guild leader, scouting the core members of other guilds was inevitable. Very Fat had seen much information about Lin Jie—Codename Lone Wolf would usually use huge strikes with big actions in battles and could instakill if one on one. When fighting with many people, he could still instakill everyone, so there were no techniques, which could be observed in his battling method.

Therefore, in their eyes, or it could be said, in most people’s eyes, Codename Lone Wolf was just an upstart who relied on equipment and skills to overpower normal players.

However, once it was thought through carefully if Lone Wolf was not observant of details, how could he instakill people without even giving them the time to react? The New Age was a game, and since it was a game when many people were near “death”, the first thing players would do was not to protect oneself or escape, but use all their might to activate skills and deal damage to the enemy in front of them.

However, Lin Jie rarely received attacks from those who were near death.

That was not a coincidence!

Having thought of that, Very Fat could not help but rub his eyes, wanting to have a clearer view of the details in Lin Jie’s executions.

“Guild leader Very Fat, attract the monsters, I’ll help you pull some monsters,” shouted Lin Jie.

He had casually used Shield Cut to interrupt the Elemental Magic of one of the Sorcerers, and immediately after, he used Death Grip to grab one of the Horse Archers, which were far away over. In the process of pulling the Horse Archer over, it just nicely banged into the remaining two Sorcerers, interrupting the magic once again.

Very Fat was already speechless. If normal people did such a thing, he would definitely think that it was luck, but if it was Codename Lone Wolf who did it, then… using the word luck was ridiculing him.

Dark Earl also saw what Lin Jie did and was astonished. It was not only normal executions anymore, as even he could easily use skills and normal attacks to interrupt the monsters’ channeling. However, using monsters to interrupt monsters, the difficulty increased by tens of folds!

“Hey! Attack!!” reminded Lin Jie.

Although Lin Jie’s damage output was slightly higher than the two guild leaders, it was just a little higher. If they had attacked with all their might, then it could be ensured that aggro would not OT. However, why the heck were they just standing there in a daze?

“O-oh…” Dark Earl instantly reacted, his face was a little red as a guild leader such as him was actually stunned by Lone Wolf’s execution skills—it was too embarrassing!

Since Lone Wolf was so strong, Dark Earl naturally did not want to be outdone. He stretched his hand out and grabbed quite a few bats with smooth skin. These were Vampire Bats from Primordial Ruins, one of the best pets for Hunters, but in the hands of this guild leader, it had become channeling material.

Ssss—

The Vampire Bat was quickly sucked dry of its blood. That ball of blood gathered to form a ball in the air, and under Dark Earl’s control, it exploded at his feet. The blood instantly formed a circle with him as the center, a circle with a radius of 20 yards.

—Blood of Plague: Deals 250 points of damage per second to units infected by the Blood of Plague and causes all Damage Dealt to be increased by 15%. Blood of Plague lasts for 30 minutes, each time an infected unit dies, the time it lasts will be prolonged by 1 minute.

Blood of Plague! That was the signature skill of Vampires, it could be said to be one of the strongest curse skills in The New Age. It would be even more powerful than the curses of the Spellcasters of Curse—the effects were even more prominent when dealing with a wave of monsters! Lin Jie and Very Fat’s damage output instantly increased, and the health points of the few Undead even decreased rapidly.

Currently, the pressure on Very Fat decreased by quite a lot. In the beginning, when he forcibly tanked seven monsters, his health points dropped rapidly. However, with the addition of Lin Jie, the Sorcerers were basically unable to release magic spells, and the damage dealt by the Wind Assassins also decreased greatly. Since Assassins were also a Bandit-type job, their attacks had Position Judgment, such as Backstab, which could only attack one’s back to be able to deal high damage. These attacks were all stabbed into the wrong body part under Lin Jie’s deliberate manipulation, so naturally, the damage dealt was low.

As time passed, the few monsters fell in Lin Jie’s rhythm, and their damage output was reduced to the minimum. Even if Very Fat did not use healing spells and only drank Health Potions, it was enough to keep him alive.

“Tsk, tsk, Brother Lone Wolf, with you in the team, who knows how much pressure you can reduce for the whole team,” exclaimed Very Fat.

If there was Lin Jie in the team, then the pressure on the healers would decrease greatly, the damage received by the MTs would be lower too. The damage dealers also wouldn’t even need to worry about accidentally dying tragically by getting hit by the monsters’ sudden skills.

Lin Jie was not swayed by what Very Fat had said, after entering battle, his face was emotionless all the while. He shouted in a low voice, “Let’s go, advance!”

“Advance?” Dark Earl was stunned.

Were they not killing these monsters anymore? One should know that there were still nine monsters not killed!

“Advance!” said Lin Jie once again, and he stepped forward. One could only hear the cackling of bones, and another 11 monsters were actually spawned!

Very Fat’s face was white as a sheet. “It’s over, it’s all over! That many were spawned!? Brother Lone Wolf, you were careless! Dark, we should hurry and instakill these few monsters with low health, then cooperate with Brother Lone Wolf to pull the new monsters, or else we will be wiped out!”

“No one to move!”

Who would have expected Lin Jie to shout such a thing? Then, he actually charged towards those 11 monsters! This time, five Horse Archers, five Sorcerers, and one Assassin were spawned. Lin Jie attracted the aggro of all monsters the instant he entered. Immediately, five Golden Hook Arrows, five Fireballs, and a dagger attacked Lin Jie! One could only see that scales filled with the aura of the sea appeared on Lin Jie out of thin air and formed an armor, a great surge of power and energy could be felt in his body.

Heart of Enrage, Blood Power, and Devour!

The ten attacks were directly absorbed by the Devour skill. Now, Lin Jie had already charged into the group of monsters, and with an Army Obliteration, he attacked them separately. He knocked the five Sorcerers towards Very Fat, and immediately after activated Rebel’s Fight to change the trajectory of a Golden Hook Arrow, it then shot towards a Sorcerer. He turned around and activated Clomaros’ Kill!

The golden greatsword instantly descended! However, this time the reason he used Clomaros’ Kill was not to deal damage but to knock away all the monsters and make them enter the coordinates which the three of them had stood originally. Lin Jie immediately followed up and used Forward Charge to reach where he was supposed to be!

“This- this is!” Dark Earl was astonished. He realized that the formation now was really completely the same as in the start!—Horse Archers, Sorcerers, and Assassins were split into three and attacked Very Fat with him as the center target. However, 80% of the attacks deviated and interrupted the skills or attacks of the same type of monsters… This was actually a f*cking formation? Even monsters knew formations?

Formations would normally be arranged by players, for example, the MTs would be in the first row, the healers in the second row, and the long-ranged damage dealers would all be at the back. To be more accurate, there were Weapon Specialists in the middle of the first and second row, and the Bandits would be between the second and third row, and so on. However, now even monsters knew formations? And they were in a formation where it was totally a disadvantage to them?

Before the formations were in place, Lin Jie would have to take great pains to interrupt the monsters’ attacks. However, now, Lin Jie only needed a normal slash to be able to interrupt four to five attacks from the monsters like a domino effect!

Dark Earl, who had realized such a thing, could not hide his astonishment anymore. He could not help but ask, “Did you do it on purpose?”

Very Fat was not as observant as Dark Earl, so he asked,” On purpose? What did he do on purpose?”

“Yes, for efficiency.” Lin Jie simply said these three words. He attacked while leading the whole “team” forward, more and more monsters forcibly entered Lin Jie’s “formation”. From the others’ point of view, they might misunderstand that these three pitiful guys were surrounded by monsters, but they would not even dare to imagine that it was all done on purpose!

Dark Earl was already speechless from the astonishment, he could only see the monsters in front of him die one by one, but there were new monsters that continuously joined where the total number of monsters even increased more and more. All the way until they were unable to even see other monsters clearly. Also, the damage output of the trio was maximized with Lin Jie’s AOE attacks, Very Fat’s Consecration, and Dark Earl’s Blood of Plague. This was actually the most suitable method for them to kill monsters!

Whoosh!

Only until a golden light had descended and Dark Earl had leveled up did he realize that they had almost finished farming this tomb. The 100 Undead monsters, which were as strong as Gold Bosses, were killed so easily! He subconsciously looked at the time, 41 minutes and 55 seconds had passed. He shouted, “Brother Lone Wolf, we did not clear it in half an hour, how about we kill the remaining 20+ monsters then change a map and try again?”

“Oh.” Lin Jie only heard the first half of the sentence, but he did not seem to care at all. He shouted, “Very Fat, Divine Shield!”

Very Fat subconsciously activated Divine Shield. Since he had seen Lin Jie’s unbelievable technique of guiding the monsters into formation, he had already admired the Brotherhood’s leader from the bottom of his heart!

Divine Shield, it allowed one to be Invincible for 8 seconds, but the aggro of all monsters would disappear. That was to prevent Paladins from using Divine Shield to forcibly tank the Boss.

Lin Jie slashed a Blade Aura and attracted all aggro. He thrust his Broken Blade left and right, continuously interrupting the monsters’ attacks, then he brought the monsters and gradually moved.

“Brother Lone Wolf, what are you doing?” Dark Earl was somewhat confused.

“To the next map,” said Lin Jie.

“Oh… Ah? Oh!” Dark Earl instantly understood—that fellow actually wanted to pull these monsters directly to the next map and continue using the formation! Such an idea was simply… too wonderful!

After experiencing this map, the two guild leaders also knew that the limit of monsters they could control with this formation was around 45, once the formation succeeded, there would be an extremely obvious increase in efficiency!

The only weakness was that it would consume too much time in the beginning to form the formation. Also, if one was unlucky and the monsters spawned were not well-distributed, like if only Sorcerers and Assassins were farmed, then the formation would definitely fail.

That was the reason why Lin Jie had chosen the Soldier’s Tomb. Only this place would spawn all three types of monsters! Most maps only spawned a single type of monster.

Pulling 20+ monsters to another map may sound impossible, as the attributes of monsters were different, so their Movement Speed was naturally different too. However, it was obvious that Lin Jie’s understanding of these monsters was quite thorough, so each time they moved forward by one step, he would stop the Assassins, which had the fastest Movement Speed, and allow the Sorcerers and Horse Archers to catch up. His execution was so precise there were no mistakes at all.

Dark Earl felt that the astonishment in his whole life had almost been used up today, so he could only gulp down saliva until his throat became sore. He then said, “Fatso… Let’s hurry and follow him.”

“Ah? Oh, okay…” The fats on Very Fat’s whole body were already so astonished they no longer trembled, and he just followed Lin Jie’s footsteps emotionlessly.

“Hey, that guy won’t be planning to farm all of these… 100 tombs, right?” Dark Earl was already frightened by such a thought.

“I think… it’s difficult to say.” Very Fat smiled bitterly.
