Chapter 506: Slashed To Death

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Darn it, what do you want to do!?” Falcon let out a sharp roar, this roar used one of the top-tier techniques of the Druids’ Nine Great Techniques, Hundred Beasts’ Roar. It seemed like the cry of the oriole, but also the roar of a ferocious tiger, or the low voice of the Giant Turtle, all kinds of ferocious wild beasts could be heard.

What a pity they were in the prison! The game had its rules, and the prison had its restrictions. Once Falcon activated the roar, it turned into a roar with a special sound, there were no effects at all.

On the other hand, Lin Jie moved, and then he revealed the thick and heavy Sea King Scaly Armor, while Blood Power surged in his hands. He was like a Devil from Hell.

“Let me guess your grade now, Gold? Or Dark Gold? You can relax, I’ll search for your comrades who have come to the land of The New Age. I’ll find them one by one and send them to keep you company. The land that you people came from, I’ll go and take a visit sooner or later!” Lin Jie laughed heartily before he slashed out a Blade Aura towards Falcon.

“Such shameless boasting! Before us, your strength is no different from an ant! If you kill me, it’s clearly stating you want to go to war with us, we will completely overpower and kill you! Be more sensible and give me your Broken Blade, then we could still have space for cooperation. I can also teach you a few top-tier techniques, how does that sound?” Falcon gave a hard kick to the ground and turned one round in the air, easily dodging the Blade Aura.

“Let’s see if you can dodge this!” Lin Jie smiled coldly. He grabbed his Broken Blade and swung it crazily. He unleashed Blade Auras continuously without any pattern at all. However, there was only one word to describe it—quick. Countless of Blade Auras almost gathered to form a huge net, which sliced towards Falcon.

Falcon was a prisoner now, so he was unable to use skills and top-tier techniques. Also, he was trapped in such a tiny place, so now he was under Lin Jie’s numerous attacks, no matter how high his dodging ability was, how many attacks could he avoid?

‘Slice, slice, slice!’ Once, twice, thrice, the sounds of flesh being sliced could be heart endlessly.

“Ah!” Falcon was so angered that the eyes seemed about to pop out. In that place, they had always regarded techniques as the supreme. Thus, when he came to this land and saw those normal players that were too weak for him to even take notice, he looked down on them and was complacent. He had prepared to do something great in this land.

However, now, he was being tortured by Lin Jie, who was using such random slicing, which in his eyes were super noob-level slashes. It was simply humiliating to him!

“Ah!” Falcon’s last roar was filled with anger and anguish! After Falcon’s body was pierced through by the last Blade Aura, he collapsed on the ground.

It was a pity that Falcon had four top-tier techniques, but they were of no use as he had no chance to use them. Even if Lin Jie was trapped inside, he would also have died from being unable to dodge the Blade Auras.

—’You have killed a prisoner in the City of Light prison, civilian support rate reduced by 1%, reputation reduced by 1,000 points. You are unable to enter the prison within 7 days.’

Although Lin Jie was the City Leader, he could not blatantly defy the laws either. The system’s punishment instantly arrived, but such a punishment was nothing to Lin Jie. He immediately kept Falcon’s corpse into his Space Package. Before he even had the time to take a look, the NPC guards had arrived.

“Lord, your actions have already disrupted order. Please leave immediately, or else we will have to take actions,” said the guard.

Lin Jie smiled and left the prison. He then entered the City Leader’s Mansion.

After becoming the City of Light’s City Leader, this huge building had naturally become Lin Jie’s mansion. However, there were plenty of armies, NPC officials, servants, and so on inside the mansion.

Lin Jie entered the bedroom, which originally belonged to Caesar the Great. He pushed all the furniture to the corner and emptied over half of the room, and then he took out Falcon’s body. Falcon’s face on the corpse was still in the state of anger and anguish, however, Lin Jie’s expression was calm, as if he could not see that. Lin Jie grabbed where Falcon’s waist was, and a bag was obtained.

Space Package!

“As expected, he had such high-grade items like Space Package, hehe.” Lin Jie compared the Space Package to his own, although the space was not as big as his, the length, width, and height were at most 70cm—it could be counted as one of the better Space Packages. Inside were a few piles of items, which were split up, but most of the places were filled with traces of the space being destroyed, revealing black space lines.

That was the violent power of space, which was produced when Lin Jie destroyed the teleportation circle. It tore open space in the Space Package, and many items within directly disappeared.

Even so, the remaining items were still in abundance!

There was a total of 300 bottles of High-Grade Condensed Health Potions piled up! A bottle of High-Grade Condensed Health Potion could instantly recover 4,000 Health Points and recover a total of 1,000 Health Points in the next 5 seconds. High-Level Potionery was needed to create such a potion.

Also, there were pills, which could increase attributes, such as Strength Pills, Wisdom Pills, Increase Channeling Speed Pills, and so on, each had 100 pills.

Besides potions, there were also plenty of Skill Books, mainly strengthening skills. It looked like Falcon had prepared them to capture the hearts of people. For example, there were skills like Strengthened Forward Charge and Strengthened Rush. Lin Jie had no use for these, but it could be used for Brotherhood’s members to increase their strength.

The ones that attracted Lin Jie’s attention the most were the items that were kept using crystal bottles. Lin Jie flipped his palm, and instantly a few exquisite crystal bottles appeared in his palm. They were either emerald-green, azure-blue, or fiery-red.

The bottles were in liquid state but extremely viscous. Even if the bottle was inverted, the liquid could not even be poured out. He opened the crystal bottle slightly, and a delicate fragrance could be smelled. Lin Jie sniffed gently and instantly felt refreshed and comfortable. Such a feeling, it was even more comfortable than when he had first entered the Tower of Light.

“Oh? This is… the smell of Elemental Essence!” said Mermaid Princess Herya in surprise as she instantly appeared. After absorbing the Morning Dew, she had recovered part of her energy and could communicate with Lin Jie for a short duration now.

Lin Jie was slightly shocked. “Elemental Essence?”

“That’s right, Elemental Essence. It is formed from gathering Elements for a long period and converting them into different condensed forms. You see, the places that Mages like to be at normally, such as the Ice Crystal Camp and Fire Forest, were all formed from the influence of Elemental Essence.

“The one in your hands has condensed into liquid form and produced highly-concentrated Elemental Essence liquid. Next, it will be converted into a solid state, which is the Elemental Crystal. Even if it is the Poseidon Shrine, such an item is also extremely precious,” explained Herya patiently.

“Then, how do I use it?” Lin Jie had not come in contact with such items in his previous life.

“There are two ways, in the case of Elemental Mages or Elemental Sword Artists, they can directly absorb the Elemental Essence and strengthen their skills. However, you are a Warrior, so the best way is to directly strengthen your body!” Herya directly pointed out a way for Lin Jie. “Most Warriors would choose to use Elemental Essence to strengthen their weapons and equipment, but they would need to be changed in the end. Only your body will follow you for life, so strengthening your body is the best choice. However, the Elemental Essence will strongly repel your body, so you can only strengthen it partially with a single attribute.”

Lin Jie nodded to show he understood.

He never thought that that item could strengthen his body! In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had been pondering whether, from The New Age system Lord God’s point of view, the players’ bodies could also be considered as equipment. He had even posted in the forum asking but was scolded badly in the comments… Now, it seemed like it was not impossible!

However… It didn’t need to be so troublesome! Don’t forget, Lin Jie had a skill—Devour!

The so-called partial strengthening was the strengthening method where his left hand would use the Water Essence, and his right hand would use the Fire Essence. By then, even if he increased his attributes, that body part must come in contact for the attributes to be effective. The principle was similar to Shield Specialists having to use their shields to block attacks, only then could one’s Defense be effective.

Lin Jie opened his mouth widely and activated Devour! A strong suction pulled the viscous Elemental Essence from within the crystal bottles and devoured it instantly—the essence was pulled into a long stretch like plasticine!

Elemental Essence was the most valuable treasure for Elemental Mages and Elemental Sword Artists. Elemental Essence was the top amongst materials, it could strengthen skills and increase skill proficiency, it could even increase one’s respective elemental damage.

Thump—

The Elemental Essence surged into Lin Jie’s body and instantly circulated throughout, fusing with the blood. The beating Heart of Enrage had been dyed with the aura of elements and gradually condensed to form a layer of thick blood film! Currently, Lin Jie felt as if he could vaguely control the blood within him freely, using a gaming term, it would be “energy guidance”. He could gather this portion of energy to his hands and increase his Attack Power, or use them to increase his Defense abilities.

“For a Berserker, of course, it would be Attack, come!” Lin Jie shouted loudly, and under the control of his will, that energy instantly surged to his palms. It was as if his palm was dyed with countless colors, while fire, ice, and wind enveloped his hand and gathered to form a vortex.

Ding~

—’Elemental Essence’s Blessings: You attack has an additional 20 points of Fire Elemental Damage, 30 points of Water Elemental Damage, and 30 points of Wind Elemental Damage.’

Lin Jie was ecstatic, with these few bottles of Elemental Essence, he had directly increased 90 points of fixed damage! Although this portion of damage was unable to be used with Lin Jie’s skills, these few bottles of materials had still directly increased almost 100 points of damage, such a fearsome increase! Lin Jie took a deep breath and also devoured Falcon’s body in one go!

With Munjo Ogre’s Devour skill, Lin Jie did not need to do the same thing as when he settled Corporal Mohamed, which was by first killing him, then taking out the Sun Demonic Sword, which was purified, while the other parts could not be used. As long as Lin Jie activated Devour, not only could he devour skills and attack others, it could also devour corpses—that was the effect that the skill originally had. Even when leveling up in the wild, he could also devour monsters’ corpses to regen. Of course, the precondition was that, uh, one had to be willing to endure the disgusting process.

Pitter-patter… Pitter-patter…

Falcon’s body was cracking under the power from Devour, the corpse instantly merged to become a mixture of sticky flesh and blood, of course, such a process was censored by Lin Jie. Devouring a corpse, even though it was just a game, it was still hard for one to accept.

However, after Falcon’s body disappeared, mysterious runes were left where his body was. It was as if these runes were surrounded by endless fluorescent light energy, which made the runes shine with all kinds of magical luster.

There was a total of four runes, one of them seemed to resonate with Lin Jie. That rune was purplish-black, and the fluorescent light in the surroundings seemed to have split into countless of shadows.

“Is it possible?” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. He grabbed that rune and swallowed it.

—’Your special skill [Vanishing Step] has been strengthened, the time it lasts for is increased by 2 minutes!’
