“Awo—”

The Piranha Plant in Enrage Mode suddenly shouted strangely with sounds like Wuwawuwa. The number of players it devoured finally exceeded its limit. Not sure exactly when, but a huge ball had accumulated at its stem. The huge ball was as though a person’s throat had swelled into a basketball, sending shivers down people’s spines.

Under Inspect, all of Piranha Plant’s attributes could be seen.

Gluttonous Piranha Plant: Level 15 Enhanced Boss, Health Points 300,000/300,000

Attack: 0 (Devour, instantly kills all targets with Health Points under 1,000)

Defense: -50 (Weakened)

Magic Defense: -50

Fire Attributes Resistance: -50%

Attacking Method: Devour

Negative defense meant additional damage! Health Points as high as 300,000 would just be as brittle as glass!

Demon Robe shouted loudly, “Divide the work and cooperate! Get a few hundreds of people to delay them. The rest kill the Boss!”

Whoosh, a few hundreds of Bandits and Knights wearing black armors lined up in a line. The tips of their swords aimed at the Ironwall Empire, Lin Jie, and others. Eighteen Massacres turned around to deal with the Boss. Every attack could cause over 200 points of damage—the Piranha Plant Boss that was in a weak state was just like a wooden stake.

With such a huge base of members, killing the Boss was but a matter that could be solved in a few minutes.

“Charge!” The Heavenly Shield shouted angrily. The Shield Specialist battle array collectively charged forward! The steel formation that was always successful did not succeed this time!

Demon Robe cleverly used phosphor powder to confuse the enemy’s sight. Dark-Robed Knights were like sewer mice; once they found gaps, they would immediately enter them. The Shield Specialist battle array could not form an effective charge, instantly falling apart, fighting enemies separately.

Lin Jie locked onto Demon Robe and activated Hunter’s Forward Charge! The Bandit with his name in blood-red seemed like he had not noticed Lin Jie at all. He was still waving around his sharp dagger, reaping lives.

Charge!

Lin Jie turned into a black shadow, and his Fire Longsword burst forth with raging flames!

Boom—

His body that was charging forward suddenly stopped, and he entered stun state. Behind him, Eighteen Massacres’ Golden Greatsword was emitting the radiance of the Hammer of the Righteous.

Hammer of the Righteous could cause a target to be stunned for 3 seconds, it was one of the few Paladin control skills.

‘Damn it, wasn’t Eighteen Massacres fighting the Boss?’ Everything before Lin Jie’s eyes was pitch black as stun state robbed him of his sight and movement capabilities.

Players after job-changing would have a substantial increase in their attributes. When facing new players, they would have attributes similar to a Level Advantage. Even if the player had Kiara Beast King armor to protect oneself, one probably would not be able to take a few attacks!

“Overconfident.” Eighteen Massacres laughed coldly, and a blade was gathered at the tip of the longsword.

Holy Butchery: Energy Storing Skill. Every time you channel a spell within 30 yards, a layer of Holy Light energy shall be stored for you. When there are 100 layers, you are allowed to release Holy Butchery. Deals 200 points of basic damage to the target. The damage increases as the slash area increases, up to a maximum of 300%. Disciplinary Epee’s special skill.

Previously, he had used that skill to kill Dominance instantly without effort! Now, it was Lin Jie who would face it.

The blade slashed from the head, sliding to the thigh. Eighteen Massacres was very confident in his own attack! Even if this guy had 800 Health Points, he would also be killed instantly!

“Ching—”

The blade slashed across, but Lin Jie’s towering body did not budge.

Eighteen Massacres widened his eyes in shock. ‘What happened? He’s not dead?’

BOOM!

The surface of Lin Jie’s body suddenly started to burn, the rising flames shone upon him as though he was a blazing man. Undefeated Anger! Death Rage!

His Health Points was locked at 1 point, but his attack and movement speed soared up ferociously.

When Eighteen Massacres reacted, his chest had already been pierced through by a longsword that was burning with fire.

-412! (Critical Hit)

“Die!” Lin Jie stabbed him with his sword again, and Eighteen Massacres looked at his chest in disbelief, slowly falling to the ground.

“Heal him!” Qiu Yuan hurriedly shouted she understood how high Lin Jie’s evil score was. If he died here, all of his hard work this month would have been for naught.

Tens of Holy Light covered the top of his head. Lin Jie took advantage of his Death Rage still continuing, and with a loud roar, he rushed into the crowd, killing a person with each slash of his sword without any mercy.

Everyone from Dark-Robed Knights looked at the warrior in front of them in horror. The eyes under the wolf head were emitting a red gleam, craving for blood. The ruthless expression in his eyes was as though blades and a flare had appeared. Then, corpses were left one by one.

“Bang—”

Eighteen Massacres’ corpse was kicked aside by Lin Jie. He raised his longsword high up. Demon Robe saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he wanted to go into Forced Stealth and run away.

“Die!”

The longsword slashed the shoulder of a warrior from the Kingdom of Glory. With a heavy sound of metal, the armor directly exploded. The brutal Blade Aura raged all around. The Health Bar of the Paladins and Warriors from the Kingdom of Glory was half empty, while Mages were even killed directly in an instant.

The second blade swooped down, and there were no living people within 20 yards!

“This person… Is too scary.”

“Boss is also dead, let’s go.”

Kingdom of Glory’s players started to run away in succession.

The flames running wild on Lin Jie’s body slowly extinguished. A few cold stares were like venomous snakes, going for the back of his head.

Forward Charge!

A huge steel shield suddenly protected Lin Jie’s back. It was Water, and he said, “Expert, you go back first.”

Lin Jie did not stubbornly stay and returned to the crowd. He fought and opened up a gap, The Heavenly Shield made a prompt decision of rushing into this gap.

Currently, Piranha Plant Boss’ Health Bar was left with only one tenth!

Suddenly, a huge element fluctuation could be felt. Lin Jie looked at a corner, there actually stood over 10 Mages. Scrolls floated in front of them, and their hands were varying all kinds of profound hand signs. Magic spells above middle-rank needed the cooperation of hand gestures and incantation. That was—Pyroblast!

“Release!”

With that order, over 10 Pyroblast with size not inferior to the swollen stem of the Piranha Plant flew towards Lin Jie!

-547!

-596!

…

Horrifying damages popped up one by one. Piranha Plant’s extremely weak fire resistance together with its weak state caused the few Fire Mages’ Pyroblast Scrolls to have the largest effects.

“Wuwa—”

Piranha Plant’s huge body fell to the ground heavily, causing the whole ground to tremble.

A huge pile of items was dropped! Huge Drop! The item most conspicuous amongst them was a small wooden token that was lightly bouncing up and down.

A hand reached out from within nothingness and grabbed the token. It was Shadow Devil Workshop, Dustless! He was one of the strongest Assassin Bandits in Lin Jie’s previous life, his assassinating and escaping skills were without equal.

Dustless laughed coldly and stored the token into his backpack. As long as he activated Stealth Move, it was like a fish entering the sea, endlessly vast and impossible to find.

“Bang—”

Darkness filled Dustless’ eyes, and he entered stun state… The result was imaginable! Lin Jie finished him off in no time.

Dead Fish Eye suddenly revealed his figure, he was still wearing the Kodo mask that concealed his identity. He stretched out his hand to fumble about Dustless’ corpse and fished out that Guild Base Token, a money bag, a scroll and also a rune stone that was flickering fluorescent light.

Apparently, this guy conveniently used the Bandit’s Theft skill.

“I’ll leave it to you to handle everything.” Dead Fish Eye elegantly waved his hand and left.

That fellow, he played cool until he was addicted to it.

Lin Jie stepped up and picked up the Guild Base Token.

Level 15 Enhanced Boss’ drop rates were extremely high, dropping a total of eight pieces of equipment. Five of them were Bronze-Grade, one was Silver-Grade, and the remaining two were actually both Gold-Grade.

Withered Leaf Sword (Gold)

Can be used by Warriors and Bandits.

Requires: Level 10

Attack: 50-70

Strength: +8

Agility: +6

Attack Speed: +8

Armor Ignore: +8

Additional effect: Withered Poison, your attack will deal a maximum of 1% Health Points damage to the target. Only effective to targets below level 15.

Herbivore (Gold)

Can be used by Bandits, Paladins, and Druids.

Requires: Level 8, Leather Armor

Defense: +12

Agility: +10

Movement Speed: +10

Movement Speed: +1%

Additional effect: 3% chance of ignoring Binding.

Withered Leaf Sword’s attributes were more suitable for Bandits if talking only about attack power, it was even higher than Broken Blade already. This made Lin Jie even more firm on his determination to restore Broken Blade. Meanwhile, Herbivore was more suitable for Druids.

“This item, I’m taking it.” Lin Jie stored the Withered Leaf Sword into his backpack and conveniently threw the Fire Longsword to The Heavenly Shield. He then caressed his helmet and said with a smile, “Mission complete, welcome back again.”

As he was saying, he gave the Guild Base Token to The Heavenly Shield, then he turned and left.

Netherblue and the others looked at Lin Jie’s action and left one after another.

“Holy crap, boss, who are these few people? You hired them?”

“Damn, they’re so handsome…”

“Codename Boiling Water, codename Deep Autumn… Weren’t they the group of people that got the Expert-level First Clear?”

“Yup, but whose that person with codename Lone Wolf? His strength was even greater than other people…”

Everyone started discussing animatedly. The Heavenly Shield looked at the Guild Base Token in his hand and secretly gritted his teeth.

The fight for the guild base was far from over. If one was killed within 6 hours, the Guild Base Token would still be dropped. For this reason, Ironwall Empire’s players found a remote area in Forest City and started leveling up.

After long hours of battle, Lin Jie was mentally tired and went offline to rest.

When he came back online, he realized that the whole game was discussing a topic: Brotherhood!

The cause was that some nosy people had exposed a picture, The Heavenly Shield holding the Guild Base Token, Netherblue team, Lin Jie and others turning around to leave. The photo angle was extremely good. They walked in the sunset with the Hermit Helmet covering their faces, as though the ending of a big movie.

However, if it was just like this, it would be impossible to cause such a huge discussion.

Ding~
