Chapter 301: Ophadi Appeared

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

With a flash of light, all the players revived and looked at Lin Jie with anger and aggression.

There were more than 200 of them.

Priests were standing at the back, Druids were transformed to bears, and the Mages kept their distance. It was as though they were going on a Boss raid! Lin Jie almost laughed. Less than an hour ago, they had used the same formation against Scout Radner.

Lin Jie was not afraid at all. He had both Kiara Beast King Armor and Enhanced Bone Membrane Armor that made him have an extremely high defense! He was like a Shield Specialist with all the best equipment! Furthermore, he was covered in shields.

A large part of the defense of Shield Specialists came from the shield. Attacks that fell on the shield and fell on the body would result in different damage. Lin Jie was now a Shield Specialist, who could raise his shields to attack at any time and anywhere!

Lin Jie’s eyes were cold, and his Broken Blade was hanging down on the ground. Although he looked casual, this was the most suitable starting position for Warriors. No matter what happened, he could pick up Broken Blade and attack in any direction with any skills. This was a technique he had learned through all the time and effort he had spent in his character.

“Let’s go!”

Suddenly, a roar came from nowhere. It was one of the three Blood Bandits! This voice flickered from left to right, which made it impossible to locate the position at all! At the same time, Bear Druids used Beast Charge, and the huge grey-brown bodies charged towards Lin Jie! Panther Druids used Crescent Claw and combo with the Bandits for backstabbing. Mages also released fireballs on him…

“Bullying is a sin, thou shall not be forgiven!”

“Arcane Tsunami, back off!”

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jie. He was moving so fast that even Lin Jie was taken aback! This guy wore a light blue Arcane Glorious Robe, and he was holding the Arcane Song Wand. He moved his right hand, and an Arcane Tsunami appeared and flooded the enemies. The entire group was pushed back by the waves!

Just as Lin Jie was about to speak, the Mage stopped him and yelled, “Run now! You don’t have to know my name. I’m a nobody and just doing what’s right! Arcane Tornado!”

Lin Jie did not expect to meet this guy in this way! This Mage was Ophadi Wantless! He was the number one Arcane Mage in The New Age, friendly towards new players, and loved to post stuff on the forum! In Lin Jie’s previous life, many people had benefited from his game strategies, many teams had performed better after his guidance, and many new players had received his help and passed the hardest beginner period…

Number one stranger in The New Age, Ophadi deserved it!

However, Ophadi had a trait that many people had. He loved to show-off. And it could go to the extent that irritated people! No matter what skills he was using, he must shout the name out. The cooler the names were, the louder he would shout…

Furthermore, Wantless was a very righteous person. If he saw unfairness in his way, he would definitely go up and help. Thus, he had made a lot of friends and enemies too.

“Arcane Tornado!”

With a loud roar, Wantless summoned a series of Arcane Tornadoes. It was as though the end of the world. This stopped the 200 people from coming nearer. He looked at Lin Jie coldly and yelled, “Go!”

Lin Jie nodded and used Fog Concealment. Run!

Wantless was stunned. How could a Warrior disappear so fast?

“Damn, this tornado is fake!”

“F*ck! It’s merely a show! I thought a Boss appeared.”

“He is with the Warrior. The Dark Gold Wand must be with him! Kill him!”

Whoosh…

The tornado was torn apart, and everyone started to target Wantless. Dozens of skills were used to attack him.

“Damn!”

Wantless cried in pain and used a Magical Shield on himself. The shield was broken in an instant when a Fireball Arrow hit him. Ultimately, he was just an Arcane Mage, meaning he could not tank so many attacks no matter how good his equipment was. However, he was not a random player on the street. With a wave of his wand, a gigantic icicle appeared in the sky. It was like some kind of restricted curse!

“Restricted Curse! Freezing Hell!”

The icicle fell towards where the wand was pointing and exploded! The 200 enemies were in shock. This guy could cast a Restricted Curse in an instant!

-1!-1!

…

Unexpectedly, the damage was extremely low! How was this even a Restricted Curse! It was worse than a normal spell.

“LMAO! Idiots!” Wantless laughed and used a few Arcane Wall to block the enemies and Flash to escape!

“WTF, this Arcane Mage has no real skill at all!”

“He’s got us.”

“Let’s get revenge!”

Everyone was agitated. The entire group was played by a single player? No one could accept that. Orcc was even more furious. He changed to Panther Druid and chased after Wantless.

Bang!

His head hit the Arcane Wall, and he was Stunned. Then, an Arcane Energy emerged from the ground and formed into snakes that entangled him.

“Arhhhhh!”

Orcc was mad now.

…

“Lol, my Arcane Imitation is level 5. There is no way for these people to tell the difference, hahaha.” Wantless was traveling through Blood Swamp with a happy smile in the corner of his mouth while playing an arcane trick on his fingertips. “The Warrior escaped so fast. He should, at least, thank me! Maybe, next time, I need to set an opening speech so that people know who I am.”

Whoosh…

Nearby, two blood shadows flickered.

Two Dark Blood Bandits! Compared with Lin Jie, this Arcane Mage was like food prepared on the table! Blood Bandits were good at discrete movement. Otherwise, they would not be able to stack their weapon to 500 layers! Lin Jie had killed hundreds of elite Bloody Skeletons and could only exchange 1 Merit Point. As for a Dark Blood Bandit, they were worth 9 Merit Points each! How many people must they have killed to be so evil!

“Finish him?”

“Wait first! That Warrior is strong. This guy may have something us his sleeve too. Use poison!”

After their discussion, the two Blood Bandits tailed Wantless and dashed out!

Wantless realized the air was filled with the smell of blood and a mix of refreshing smell. He did not bother and continued traveling straight. He was level 33, at 85%, now. After another mission, he would be level 34! According to his mentor, if he was the first one to become level 40, he could be rewarded with the opportunity to enter the mage school, Winter Castle.

Kacha—

Suddenly, he felt a pinch on his finger, and Wantless realized his fingers were corroded without his notice!

—Battle prompt message: Dark Bone Poison, your casting speed was reduced by 70%, and movement speed was reduced by 50%.

“Do it!”

“Hum, that did the trick! This dilution of Dark Bone poison cost 20 Dark Contribution Points. We set it up for 10 minutes, and you have to drop some good things to compensate for it! ”

The two daggers went for Wantless!

Wantless was about to use Magical Shield and Flash, but the effect of the poison was too strong, and he could not move at all. Suddenly, the wind blew, and the two Dark Blood Bandits burst into dust with two 1,600+ damage figures above their heads!

“Who’s there?!”

“Me!”

Lin Jie appeared slowly and stood in front of Wantless. He smiled and said, “You saved me once. I’m here to return the favor.”

Wantless looked at Lin Jie in shock and twitched his lips. He looked at the poison that lasted for half an hour and said, “I almost died for your sake. Not worth it.”

Lin Jie smiled and threw him a bottle of Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion. “Here, this is your compensation.”

“LOL, I don’t need to be rewarded!” Wantless threw the potion back.

“What is your name?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“C’mon, let’s be friends, pro.”

“You don’t have to know me. I want nothing but justice.”

Lin Jie nodded and kept the potion into his bag. “Fine, I’m leaving.”

“Oiiii!” Wantless shouted, “Ask me one more time! One more time, and you get your answer.”

“…”

Lin Jie was speechless and stared at Wantless for a good 10 seconds.

“Nope.”

“Since you asked so sincerely, I’ll tell you. My name is Wantless, you should have seen me before in the Rankings Board,” he said while extending out his hand. “If you insist on giving me the potion, I’m willing to accept that.”

“Lol, you think I’ll give you one more time?”

“Faster!”

“Here you go.”

Wantless took the potion over and said, “Low-Grade? This only works for level 30 and below. If I use it, it will not be so effective.”

Lin Jie took out another three bottles and said, “The effect is not that good, but drink more, and the poison will not last so long.”

“Fine.” Wantless drank another three bottles. It was awkward for him because Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion was very precious. It cost 5 Merit Points per bottle. It was equivalent to a few gold coins. It was a lifesaver for level 30 and below.

He asked, “You are in Midolhaar to farm, right? I have a difficult mission in Blood Swamp, why don’t you come with me, and I’ll let you leech some EXP.”

—”Player Wantless invites you to join her team.”

‘Accept!’

It was a very good thing that Wantless was interacting with him! If he joined the team, Lin Jie would have a stronger team.

“Let’s go,” said Wantless as though he was leading Lin Jie. He had no idea that the Warrior behind was making use of him.

“What’s your mission?” asked Lin Jie.

“Kill the three Raid Commanders: Scout Radner, Blood Wizard Larek, and Potion Maker Eugene,” said Wantless. “But there’s a side mission now. Kill the traitor in the Alliance.”

“Traitor!?” Lin Jie was shocked.
