Chapter 105: Ice Spirit Slash

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mages, use Earth Elements to attack! Melee tanks, two hits and fall back to heal!” Hell Plume stood in the distance and gave the crowd the command to attack orderly.

Water Overlord Latto, Level 20 Boss!

There were not many elemental creatures to begin with, let alone a Water Overlord. This would have a chance to drop an Elemental Contract which allowed the user to summon a Water Overlord to fight along!

To a Contract Summoner, this was priceless!

A Water Overlord had three attack patterns. The first was to swing its fist and deal AOE damage. But due to its slow attack speed, as long as a player was good and got the right position in time, it was not difficult to dodge the attacks.

The second one was to use the wave attack. It had a tremendous area of impact, and it would stop after it hit 10 players. Therefore, one had to just let the MTs tank the damage.

The third skill was a bit of a nightmare. It chose a target, like how it swallowed Lin Jie, and swallowed it into its stomach, killing it instantly.

The team originally had 60 players, but 2 of the Shield Specialists were swallowed.

But that did not matter much! With the effort of the crowd, the health point of Latto had dropped more than 20%! To Hell Plume, as long as Latto dropped the contract, it was worth it for these people to die!

Latto’s recovery speed was much slower than the damage it received, and it was dropping at a visible rate.

As a Weapon Specialist, the most powerful combo skills of Broken Wings could not be used against Latto. Each hit that landed on Latto only dealt slightly more than 10 damage.

That was still because the health points of Latto had dropped. If its health points were full, even Lin Jie could not break that defense.

“It’s going to swallow, dodge!”

Hell Plume shouted as Latto smashed its fist onto the ground. When it was lifted again, Broken Wings’ body was hanging in the air, struggling.

He was slowly raised by Latto. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. Latto swallowed him without hesitation.

+12,000!

Latto’s health points increased out of sudden.

“Continue!” yelled Hell Plume. He knew clearly that this would be a long fight, and he would definitely win! As long as the damage output was higher than Latto’s, it would be an easy task.

As time passed, more players got swallowed. Soon, only half the team was left…

The scary thing was that their damage output was not enough!

That was the only thing that Hell Plume miscalculated!

The recovery rate of the Boss was constant, but the damage output of the team was decreasing! When the members dropped to a certain number, the damage output would no longer match the recovery speed of the Boss!

“Pia!”

With a loud sound, Latto picked up two people and swallowed them!

Its health points were restored to full value!

“Retreat!” shouted Hell Plume in alarm. He had given up the fight and decided to retreat.

Latto had swallowed 31 players, including Lin Jie!

“Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

The remaining mages and priests quickly fell back and decided to exit the Element Altar… But the monsters had respawned out of a sudden!

The Earth Element, Ice Element, and Wind Element had blocked their exit. They were different from Lin Jie who had the Sub-Legendary armor and Heritage Broken Blade. It was not difficult for him to kill the elements with his extremely high attack and defense at the current stage.

But they were different. Most of the melees had died, and the surviving players were mainly mages. Mages, the masters of elemental magic, were most afraid of elemental magic at the same time!

When a Fire Mage launched a fireball at an Ice Element, it was immune due to level suppression. When it was launched to a Fire Element, it was absorbed in the form of health points. That was true despair!

The elements swarmed the remaining Hell Plume’s army and killed them all!

Latto calmly controlled the elements to bring the bodies to itself and swallowed them….

Swallow was a skill that the Water Overlord could use only after rage made, it was a rare chance for it to do that!

Dozens of the bodies were swallowed, and Latto’s body became very hard. The water sound slowly disappeared, and other elements were making their way out of the area.

Suddenly…

A holy light burst from within Latto! The broken souls were back together. There was a flame sword at the top of Latto and cut its head!

“Kuang!”

Latto’s head was cut into pieces, and they dropped on the ground like stones, unable to return to their original state!

-452!

Army Obliteration! Weakness Exploit! Blood Soul Multi-Slash!

Lin Jie jumped up and tore Latto’s body with his Dark Slaughter Longsword and Broken Blade. When he landed, Latto’s body was broken into dozens of pieces. Each piece had a few thousand health points. Lin Jie would farm them all!

—’You have received 9,800 experience points.’

—’You have received 9,800 experience points.’

The system messages were all over the screen! When he reached the last body, through the hard water that could not flow, Lin Jie could vaguely see the unwilling eyes of Hell Plume.

“Guess your eyes are too big for your stomach.” Lin Jie laughed coldly and smashed the body.

Items dropped!

As an Elemental Creature, the Water Overlord mainly dropped the skill books: A “Blink” that was for mages, and an “Ice Spirit Slash” for warriors. It also dropped a blue Contract Book, 300 Elemental Water, and a wand!

[Death Contract Wand +5] (Gold)

Can be used by Contract Summoners and Death Summoners.

Requires: Level 10

Magic attack: 15-20

Health Points: +100

Summoned Beasts: Strength +20

Summoned Beasts: Endurance +15

Summoned Beasts: Movement Speed +5

Additional effect: Soul bind enhanced!

It was Hell Plume’s wand!

Lin Jie was elated. It was much more worth it to kill a player than farming monsters. No wonder PK-maniacs loved Battlefield. The thrill in PvP was indeed addictive!

Furthermore, there was a Contract Book.

[Contract Book: Water Overlord]: Can be used by Contract Summoners. Players can summon a Water Overlord that can be contracted 10 times. Each time the attributes of the Water Overlord decrease by 7%.

The contract books of Contract Summoner were irritating stuff. For a Contract Summoner, as long as they found something suitable, they could contract it.

The contract books, however, sealed many creatures that could not be contracted normally. Such as the Water Overlord, or dragon creatures. After being sealed, these tough creatures could be contracted up to 10 times by the contract summoners, and each time their attributes would drop. If a player only succeeded in the 10th contract, only 30% of the original attributes would remain.

Therefore, Contract Summoner depended a lot on luck.

Looking at the darken name of Zheng Ziliang, Lin Jie decided to send him the wand and book.

Blink was the core skill of a mage, and it required level 20 to learn. It allowed the user to teleport in a distance of 15 to 20 yards. It gave the artillery mage the ability to teleport. It was the most powerful contain and anti-contain skill.

One book of it could worth more than hundreds of thousand!

Mages were the best for leveling, and thus one could reach level 20 first. They would then realize that Blink required a skill book! Players would kill one another for this skill book.

But it was the other skill book that made Lin Jie happy.

Skill Book: Ice Spirit Slash

Casting Resource: Rage, Action

Skill Description: Your weapon will be covered in ice and deal 1.5 freezing effects in the cone-area in front of you. Attack 30%. Cooldown: 50 seconds.

Job Restriction: Elemental Sword Artist, Berserker, Weapon Specialist.

Lin Jie used the book immediately. It was a control skill! Crowd control skill! This was adorable!

The bodies on the ground disappeared one after another. Lin Jie moved towards the inside of Element Altar.

Ding~

The communication device rang, and it showed a stranger’s name: Shadow.

“Hi.” The sound was tough, and the breathings were heavy. It felt like someone forced themselves to lower their status. “I’m Shadow from Angel Descent.”

“Never heard of that,” replied Lin Jie, although he had guessed his identity immediately. He was the head of Five Shadow Kings!

“The gold daggers you got… were mine. I want to buy them back. As you can see, the attributes of these daggers are not that good, and they are pretty useless for a warrior…” said Shadow.

Lin Jie laughed and said, “Really? Because I’m looking at the words ‘Set effect’. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”

Shadow stayed quite.

Then, an angry voice sounded, “Don’t get too overboard with yourself. Give me back my daggers, or I’ll kill your…”

Lin Jie laughed coldly and said, “Well, continue?”

Shadow took a deep breath and said, ” Those items are significant to us. I hope you understand.”

“Yea sure, I understand.” Lin Jie nodded. “But I’m a man of benefits. I’ll give you back the items as long as you give a good price for that. Isn’t that win-win?”

“We… don’t have money…” Shadow’s voice was shaking.

“Then what you’ve got? Dark Gold of equivalent value would do the trick too.”

“We… do not have it too.”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes on purpose and said, “Well, you can’t beat me in a fight, and you can’t pay for your item… How can I help you then?”

It was only through a match organized by The New Age that the Five Shadow Kings became famous. They had won that contest. It was only then that everyone had gotten to know about them, becoming the most wanted people among players.

But now… they were just a bunch of workers.

They could still afford a few hundred thousand, but they could not pay up the millions. They were nowhere close to that worth. It would be insane for them to have a fight which would cost all their saving to be spent.

“I… beg you,” said Shadow.

Lin Jie could clearly hear that the noise on the other side was immediately gone. This leader had begged someone in front of his brothers!

Lin Jie thought about it and said, “Well, sell yourselves to me.”
