Chapter 365: Killing Three-Headed Serpent

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Boss is here.”

“Hi, Boss.”

At the moment when Lin Jie appeared outside the Mesosaprobic Shrine, many people looked at him.

The skeletons on the outside were almost cleaned up. Although the Elite skeletons had powerful attributes, they could not defeat so many people. Under Savage Blade’s command, it was not hard to kill those skeletons. Many players were happily picking up the Silver and Gold equipment on the ground.

But the real fight had just started!

At the moment when Lin Jie appeared, the surrounding air was cooled. The moisture in the air condensed into frost, snowflakes, and ice cones. Then, a tornado swept in. The ice whirled fiercely, shooting at all directions. Many players nearby were attacked immediately. More than ten people were killed by the ice cones, while the damage of other attacks was lower.

The serpent appeared!

The Three-Headed Serpent, the Sub-Legendary Boss of the Mesosaprobic Shrine, had three stats and numerous AOE spells, which made it extremely powerful. Any Mage, comparing to it, was weak!

Ice Mages had an AOE called the Blizzard, which was a channeling skill. It caused damage and slowed down the enemies every second, stacking 5% damage per second, with a maximum of 50%. After channeling for 10 seconds, this skill was equally powerful as the Fire Mages’ Sea of Fire. However, if it was interrupted or relocated, it needed to be re-clocked. Hence, it was seldom used by Ice Mages.

However, the Blizzard released by the Ice Serpent only took one second to channel to reach the maximum damage, and it could move freely throughout the attack.

This was a privilege given by the system!

“Blizzard!”

It seemed that in order to confirm Lin Jie’s idea, the Ice Serpent spat out a mouthful of ice. In the sky, countless snowstorms fell in response! Flakes of snow, like ice thorns, fell to the crowds.

At the same time, the Gale Serpent moved. It gathered three tornadoes to attack the crowd.

“Spread! Fire Mages attack the Ice Serpent, Ice Mages attack the Gale Serpent. Shield Specialists go to the front and root in your position. Hunters spread out and turn on the Aggro Enhance of your defensive pets, and let them go to the frontlines. Aim their heads with your full strength,” yelled Lin Jie. Then he attacked the serpents’ body with a Blade Aura, bringing a very small damage value. The Sub-Legendary Boss’ strength was revealed.

In addition to the powerful AOE, the most powerful part of the Three-Headed Serpent was its magic fusion. The so-called magic fusion was the special ability to mix the Elemental Magic of different stats together to improve its grade.

All the Mana cast by the Three-Headed Serpent was of high-grade. If two types of mana were merged, they would become Sub-Legendary Magic! If three were merged, they would become Legendary Magic! The reason why the Three-Headed Serpent was terrifying was that the Legendary Magic used by it in its Enraged Mode could easily destroy the sky and the earth! Think of the time when Lin Jie cast his Illusionary Trace, the whole ship had been completely hidden. This Elemental Magic, which was known for its destructive properties, would be even more powerful!

Losing Flame Serpent’s head meant that the Three-Headed Serpent’s final move had disappeared!

“Lone Wolf, what should we do?”

“Jie, give us orders.”

The Savage Blade’s team members shouted.

Lin Jie said calmly, “Save yourselves, don’t die.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked.

“As I said, I recruited them as cannon fodder. I have a way to kill the Three-Headed Serpent, but in the end, the spoils must also be distributed to this group. How many spoils can we get from a Sub-Legendary Boss? We barely have enough to distribute among ourselves! Besides, this task is also related to the Main Plot Mission, as well as to the Poseidon Shrine.” Lin Jie’s voice sounded. “This group of players better be all dead. If not, I’ll arrange for someone to kill them all.”

Zheng Ziliang was scared and shouted, “Our people from the Brotherhood are also there.”

“I’ll compensate them.” After Lin Jie said this, he stopped talking. Although he tied his best to attack, if someone observed carefully, they could see that Lin Jie was staying at the safest spot!

Blizzard had an area that it could not cover, but Lin Jie had not published the coordinates. Otherwise, the number of casualties would be reduced by more than half.

The Dark Shrine and Poseidon Shrine were things that Lin Jie must get.

There were two ways to kill the Three-Headed Serpent. The first and the most correct way was to use the Hunters’ Skill [Misdirection] to focus the aggro on a player with the maximum escape ability, like a Bandit, and then attack one of the Serpent to reduce its HP by 20%. At that time, the serpent would be furious and concentrate all their attacks on that player. That player would then channel their mana and let them attack each other.

The second way was the stupidest, which was to let it spend all its mana! This method would not work in the heyday of the Three-Headed Serpent, but now that the Flame Serpent was dead, its Mana recovery speed would also be reduced. Hence, this method could work.

Lin Jie was planning to use this group of players as cannon fodder to drain the Three-Headed Serpent’s Man. Otherwise, there might be casualties in Savage Blade, which was unacceptable to Lin Jie.

Under Lin Jie’s command, thousands of people started challenging the Sub-Legendary Boss! Several players died every second!

“Bandits within the range of 3, 7, and 5, move to your left by 12 steps,” commanded Lin Jie. This kind of coordinate-commanding method belonged to “simplified command”. The coordinates in The New Age were generally five digits. But when the combat scope was small, small coordinates were used for command.

When the 15 Bandits from the City of Sea King heard the command, they left immediately and avoided the attack successfully. People now had more trust in Lone Wolf. After all, it was not easy to avoid fatal attacks by commanding people’s positioning in such a dense Mana attack.

There were thousands of people there. Even if he were a genius, it was impossible for Lin Jie to command everyone to avoid the Mana attacks.

Lin Jie did some small favors and saved hundreds of players in the battle. However, those players were eventually killed by the attacks. A few sharp-eyed players stared at Lin Jie’s move, so they hid at the back and saved their own lives easily.

‘Oh? They’re smart.’ Lin Jie’s eyes rolled, and he made a mistake in his positioning. Then a huge ice crystal fell down and exploded!

-2,739!-2,816!-2,738!

…

Except for Lin Jie, all the other players who were attacked were all dead!

“Bu Yi, heal,” whispered Lin Jie and left the range of the Blizzard.

Presently, the Three-Headed Serpent’s Mana bar had dropped by more than half. In a few minutes, its mana would be drained!

Great Healing Spell!

+837!

Power Word Shield! Heal Renew Spell!

After increasing the health bar of Lin Jie, Bu Yi secretly cast Heal Renew Spell on other players around. Although she knew the reason why Lin Jie did this, it was hard for her to watch this group of players die.

Lin Jie saw her move but did not say anything.

Everyone thought differently. Maybe his command seemed to be despicable in the eyes of ordinary people, but what else could he do?

“The Boss’ mana attack is weakened!”

“Hahaha, it’s running out of mana! Attack!”

“Kill!”

There were more than 900 people left, half of them were from the Brotherhood, and the other half were from the other guilds and workshops. To Lin Jie’s surprise, these people had made it till the Boss’ mana was drained!

“Old Shield, Mixed Breathless, go. Lure the aggro and start to kill.” Lin Jie frowned. His eyes drifted to the entrance as a faint smell of blood irritated his nostrils.

There it was!

“Yes!”

The two MTs charged forward and used Shield Strike Combo Attack to lure the aggro. The shields buried the serpent’s attack. The serpent’s mana attack was powerful, but its physical attack was not weak either. Its attack hit the Shield Specialists whom could not help but move backward in pain. Savage Blade and others rushed forward. Blade Auras, Fireballs, and arrows bombarded the serpent’s body crazily.

“Attack its heart!” Lin Jie jumped up high, and tore all the scales on its chest into powder with Dragon Armor Removal! Its soft flesh was revealed.

-374! (Critical Hit)

-271!

-100!

…

Countless attacks struck the serpent, and its health points dropped drastically!

Ang—

At the last moment, the Ice Serpent and the Gale Serpent roared towards the sky and used their last resort—the magic fusion! Wind and ice mixed together to form an ice storm all over the sky.

“Retreat! Hide in the shrine! I’ll handle the rest.” Under Lin Jie’s command, members of the Savage Blade hid in the shrine one after one. Unfortunately, the others were not that lucky as they were killed instantly by the wind and ice storm!

Lin Jie jumped up high and held his Broken Blade. A golden light shone at him like the sun. Clomaros with the golden armor and helmet finally appeared again!

Clomaros’ Kill!

-15,272! (Critical Hit)

Lin Jie was shocked by the huge five-digit figure himself! Clomaros’ Kill was his most powerful skill with scarily high damage. The Three-Headed Serpent’s last trace of vitality was completely erased by Lin Jie!

“Dark Holy Water Source, come out!” Lin Jie broke the Three-Headed Serpent’s flesh and blood with his sword, pulled out its heart, and put it into his bag! In this heart was the Dark Holy Water Source!

The moment when the Three-Headed Serpent died, it was the time for a large number of equipment and gold coins to drop! However, Lin Jie made a decision quickly. He hid in the shrine with Savage Blade using Forward Charge.

“F*ck, the Boss is dead!”

“Yes, it’s dead, it’s dead! It’s the Vice Shrine Master of the Mesosaprobic Shrine. EXP can be gained only when its corpse is handed over to the Holy Church. At that time, Lone Wolf will definitely give us a share.”

“Stupid! A share? Look, equipment and gold coins are dropped. F*ck, there are hundreds of gold coins! It’s equivalent to tens of thousands of cash! We have more than 30 people alive, why don’t we keep the Boss and divide the equipment and gold coins among ourselves? Isn’t this much better than giving it to Lone Wolf?”

“Reasonable, reasonable! There’s no reason to surrender the equipment in front of our eyes! The Boss was killed by thousands of people, and the things dropped have to be divided by dozens of us. It’s such a quick profit!”

“Let’s go…”

The players who survived immediately decided to split the spoils among themselves after the discussion.
