Chapter 543: Appearance Of Clomaros’ Kill Yet Again

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At Tribe, Deathknell Swamp.

The battle with Alpistin was still ongoing. Although the quality of Dark Emperor’s team was far from being as superb as that of Savage Blade, Dark Emperor’s commanding ability made one gasp in admiration. The whole team was like a huge robot that could perfectly carry out each order under Dark Emperor’s command.

The symbols on the ground were like the dancing machines in an arcade—once they lit up, the team would immediately react accordingly. That was also a method that made Lin Jie awe in amazement.

Only with sharp observation and the technique of multitasking could one use such a commanding method perfectly. Dark Emperor was like a puppeteer, and once his subordinates entered his commanding process, they would completely become puppets that would move under his orders. Under the meticulous teamwork, even if it was a Sub-Legendary Boss, its health points were also slowly decreasing.

Lin Jie was still trapped endlessly by the Undead Chain. The hard pale bones behind him locked his hands, so he could not do anything at all. The 20 Undead players’ mission was to guard him and cast Undead Chain in turn so that the Undead Chain would always control Lin Jie.

One had to say, Dark Emperor’s vigilance was quite high as he had sent 20 experts to suppress Lin Jie. He did not know Lin Jie’s identity, so Dark Emperor had purely done so for insurance. However, what a pity the person he had encountered was Lin Jie!

“Soon enough,” spoke Lin Jie. That judgment-like tone stunned the few players beside him, and they stared at Lin Jie more intently to prevent any accidents from happening.

However, an accident still happened!

Undead General Alpistin, a Hero-Level Boss, had entered Enraged Mode due to its health points dropping to 59 % through Dark Emperor’s flawless commanding methods. Alpistin spun his crescent axe around his body, and the aura, which was as sharp as blades, instantly flew towards the surrounding players. One could only see that the Boss leaped and its body transformed into a small dot, which one’s naked eye could barely see, and flew up high into the air.

Sizzle—

The air was like a tattered cloth, opening up with a tear. Then a crystal-clear and gem-like giant axe was chopped down all of a sudden! The attack was aimed at the commander, Dark Emperor!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A few symbols were shot into the air. Three Shield Specialists wanted to activate Intervene for Dark Emperor, but the instant they saw the lit symbols, they immediately took a step back. The Mages also understood and started chanting obscure runes, gathering a pitch-black soul fire.

In Tribe, the main type of Mages were Shadow Mages, Dark Mages, Soul Mages, and so on. They were different from the orthodox Elemental Mages as they mainly released Dark-type spells. The only flaw was that there were relatively fewer changes, so they could not be on par with Elemental Mage.

Shoosh—

Black Fireballs were shot towards the Boss vigorously and dealing 100+ points of damage each. Alpistin was not fazed. He smashed his crescent axe right in front of Dark Emperor. Cold sweat formed on Blood-Sucking’s members. They knew that Dark Emperor’s commanding ability was impeccable, but as for his battling ability, none of them knew how strong he was.

Lin Jie locked on his gaze to Dark Emperor. He wanted to see that person’s true ability.

ROAR—

Dark Emperor let out an enraged roar, and his eyes shone blood-red. At the same time, his mouth, nose, ear, eyes, tendons, skin, and even between the gaps of his armor, started shining with a deep bloody red color, dying him into something like a Devil! A broadsword made of bones also landed in his hands. It collided with the crescent axe’s Claw Attack, and with just one attack, Dark Emperor’s body flew backward, and his health bar instantly dropped dangerously low.

Not dying after taking a Sub-Legendary Boss’ strike head-on, such a record was already enough for him to be proud of himself.

However, this was not over! Dark Emperor, who had low health, suddenly grew a pair of strange Devil wings and was enveloped in a layer of dark aura.

The Tribe’s Berserkers were not like the orthodox Warriors in Guild. They drank Devil’s blood to their fill and were Warriors that signed death contracts. They would be able to stimulate the Devil’s bloodline within them when their health was in critical danger, thus unleashing powerful battle strength.

“Haaaaa!” Dark Emperor’s Movement Speed doubled, and he pounced towards the Boss instead. The broadsword was stabbed into Alpistin’s body, and then two bone spikes grew at the side of the broadsword, thus binding the Boss.

The binding effect lasted for less than half a second, and the Boss struggled free. However, this half a second allowed Dark Emperor to move behind the Boss, and he ingeniously dodged the Boss’ counterattack. Immediately after, Dark Emperor unleashed a set of Double Strike after Heroic Strike, and with the vigorous swing of his bone broadsword, he knocked back the Boss by a few steps.

At the same time, the crescent axe released a Whirlwind, but Dark Emperor had already retreated by a few steps, and he saw the giant axe slash. He charged near the Boss again, and his bone broadsword let out a decadent sound.

[Ghost Howl]: It decreases the Defense of the target by 60% temporarily.

The game had progressed till now, so players more or less had learned partial Armor Penetration skills. Once such skills were used, high-damage outburst skills would follow next!

“Devil’s Flame!” Dark Emperor chanted obscure words, and waves of fluctuation could be seen spreading from the void. As if he was enhanced by a power from the netherworld, Dark Emperor was burning with a black Devil’s flames throughout his whole body.

That was also a basic skill of the Tribe’s Berserkers, and it was equal to Lin Jie’s Heart of Enrage. Under the burning of the Devil’s Flame, Dark Emperor’s bone sword instantly lengthened by two times, and the pale light the sword emitted was slightly dyed in bits of pale gold—that was actually Clomaros’ Kill!

-118,372!

With a slash, a fearsome number as high as six digits popped up. Instantly, all players gasped! They were not born in Guild, so naturally, they did not know of people like Lin Jie, who was abnormally strong and could deal 100,000+ points of damage. Thus, in their eyes, that frightening damage value was already invincible!

“Dark Emperor is invincible!” Dark Craze, who was guarding Lin Jie, flattered the guild leader very timely.

“Dark Emperor is invincible!” The other members also followed as they raised their hands up high and shouted as if they could already see the scene of the Boss’ death.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the situation took a 180-degrees turn!

Bang—

Suddenly an explosion occurred, and thick smoke was emitted from where the team guarding Lin Jie was.

“What happened?” shouted Dark Craze in shock.

Instantly, he felt a bad premonition. Just now, when he was buttering up to Dark Emperor, he had forgotten to use Undead Chain on that Guild player, and about half a second was delayed. Meanwhile, smoke was generating, was it possible—

He hurriedly turned his head, and indeed, he discovered that the original spot where Lin Jie was trapped was empty—there were no traces of Lin Jie at all!

“Team leader, you forgot to use Undead Chain on him just now…” A team member meekly reminded Dark Craze. Just as he spoke, he was instantly slapped by Dark Craze. “Find, find him! He won’t be able to escape!”

The members guarding Lin Jie were all in panic. Although this was Dark Craze’s fault, he was the leader, so who would expect him to admit it? Now, the only solution was to find that Guild player, or else they would all have to take the blame.

The sudden change made Dark Emperor frown. A Warrior, who would actually bring Smoke Bombs along, was really hard for people to accept. Also, the smoke created did not disperse for a long time, so it must be a high-quality item.

‘Such an interesting fellow!’

Dark Emperor waved his hand and said, “Undead Hunters activate Living’s Scent. Don’t be in a hurry to capture him, kill the Boss first.”

The team members heard the instructions and all focused their attention on the Boss in front of them.

In the fog, Lin Jie, who had activated Fog Concealment, was casually stretching his body. It was quite uncomfortable being continuously locked up by Undead Chain. As for escaping? Lin Jie smiled coldly. Presently, the position of the hunter and prey had changed!

Although under the influence of the fog, everyone’s line of sight had decreased quite a bit, after Dark Emperor unleashed his strength, everyone seemed to have been pumped up. They were all full of energy to fight the Boss. The three Shield Specialists took out a scroll, and after exchanging a look, they simultaneously tore it apart. A black ray of light soared into the sky.

Combination skill•Bone Shield Guard!

Only three or above Undead Shield Specialist could activate this skill. A shield made of white bones was formed, and the Shield Defense was equal to the total Defense value of the three Undead Shield Specialists. After they received an attack, the Damage Dealt would be evenly spread onto the caster, which meant the Defense value of each Shield Specialist had increased by two times! However, the skill punishment was also very heavy—an unrepairable crack would be formed on their shields, and once their shields were used continuously with such a skill, they would be scrapped.

At this moment, a pitch-black hand grabbed one of the Undead Shield Specialists, and with a vigorous pull, that Shield Specialist disappeared.

“Death Grip? It’s that person from the Guild?” exclaimed someone.

“No, it should be the Boss’ skill. Everyone, be careful. The Boss’ intelligence is not low. It knows how to make use of the fog,” said Dark Emperor.

As he was speaking, another Shield Specialist was grabbed away.

“That damned Guild player! That’s right, this is the Boss’ skill. Normal Death Grip can’t have AOE grab,” said someone who was quite well-known in the team.

There was only one Shield Specialist left in the whole team! When the team lost their MTs, the team would be wiped out! The symbols on the ground flashed quite a few times. Dark Emperor had also started to become anxious. He commanded the few weaker Shield Specialists to surround the Shield Specialist to prevent him from being grabbed.

However, the Boss’ husky figure appeared before them, and with a slash of his crescent axe, the few Shield Specialists were instakilled. When the Undead Shield Specialist wanted to continue attracting aggro to protect his teammates, the Death Grip hand appeared yet again and grabbed onto his waist, directly pulling him away!

“F*ck!” Even with Dark Emperor’s identity and disposition, he still could not help but curse.

However, it had come to this, and he could not retreat anymore. The Boss in front of him would decide whether or not he would obtain Fallen, and thus complete the God of War’s trial. It also decided if he was able to become the champion of the Best Of The Best competition as the strongest player. (Note: Guild and Tribe will not participate in activities together before the camp war is released, activities will occur within their respective camps.)

Currently, the Boss still had 30% of its health points. Under the situation of losing all Shield Specialists, each of them could at most take one attack from the Boss before dying! If everyone became cannon fodder, then it might be possible to kill the Boss! That was what Dark Emperor had thought, so he immediately put his thoughts into action, and the symbols on the ground formed three gloomy words: Fight to death.

“Brothers, for the mission of our guild leader, attack!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“I’ll tank first, everyone attack!”

The loyalty in the Blood-Sucking guild was completely reflected. None of them was afraid of death as they fought to be the cannon fodder, contributing all their strength to earn time and space for their teammates. The death of each player earned more time for their teammates to channel spells and attack. Instantly, the Deathknell Swamp was filled with heroic acts.

Meanwhile, at that moment, a black hand suddenly wrapped onto Dark Emperor’s waist and grabbed vigorously.
