Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 526: Blood Sacrifice

Chapter 526: Blood Sacrifice

“Princess Herya?” Lin Jie tried communicating with the Mermaid Princess, but the Follower Space was completely closed. It looked like the Mermaid Princess had started absorbing the Angel’s Tears to recover.

The Angel’s Tear, as the name suggested, was the tear of the Holy Church Angel. It contained the power of Light and was extremely effective at healing body injuries or disabilities. In The New Age, many blind NPCs could be healed by the Angel’s Tear.

Lin Jie originally planned to use the item to help those blind NPCs and trigger some mission or attract them to come to the guild base. However, it was all used up by the Mermaid Princess to recover.

After the Mermaid Princess became Lin Jie’s follower, Lin Jie would try to communicate with this precious daughter of the Merfolk Shrine from time to time. If he were able to accept a few missions or learn some skills from the Merfolk Shrine, it would be a huge gain. However, it was a pity she was not very willing to communicate with Lin Jie—she would only appear when he had found some valuable water source.

However, it was a huge haul from opening the treasure chest! Now only did he obtain the key to head to the Mediumship Tower, he had also successfully activated the last skill of the Sea Riding skill, [Wrath of Sea].

In Lin Jie’s previous life, the Ice Magic Thearch Dumb Fox had grasped the skill Wrath of Sea and had once activated it when fighting for the islands on the sea. With the waves of Wrath of Sea, he had directly destroyed the opponents’ boats into pieces—its power was completely over the roof!

[Wrath of Sea]: It can only be used in deep waters. You will be temporarily immune to Water-attribute attacks and will be able to control Water Elements to attack using waves. Each wave can deal 170% damage to enemies in front of you within a 50-yards distance. The larger the area of deep waters, the higher the number of waves. Cooldown time is 10 days.

Although the Wrath of Sea was restricted by the terrain, such as not being able to activate it on land, it would be a skill with insanely high damage if it was in areas like deep waters. Lin Jie nodded in satisfaction, then immediately after, he called Very Fat and Dark Earl to inform them that he had obtained the key. So once the three of them gathered to clear another Mediumship Tower, Lin Jie would be able to obtain four Mediumship Orbs.

Who would have expected that just as the call was picked up, Very Fat’s shouting voice could be heard? “Leader Lone Wolf, where are you now? Hurry and come help us!”

Lin Jie was stunned. “What happened?”

“The General’s Mausoleum was directly opened!” Very Fat shouted, “We have been surrounded!”

Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, he did not expect that something so huge happened in the short while he was in the Hall of Corpses. Lin Jie hurriedly left the Hall of Corpses, and just as he went out, he saw that the General’s Tomb had already turned into a chaotic battlefield!

The doors of the General’s Mausoleum, which stood tall at the top, were already wide open. Undead soldiers surged out from within like tidewater and headed towards the players who were below the General’s Mausoleum. Within them, many players had pale faces. Those players were utterly ruthless as they attacked the normal players below them from afar using ranged attacks, killing the bottom players and the monsters. There was so much bloodshed at the General’s Tomb where even a river of blood could be formed.

The blood gathered to form a blood-red waterfall, which flowed towards the mausoleum and into a huge corpse. That corpse was extremely well-preserved, its face was almost lifelike in appearance and seemed full of vigor. It wore a Knight’s heavy armor and a Knight’s helmet which covered its face. The long spear it held was carved with a green Wind Dragon, and there was even an elegant wing-shaped mark on the armor—it was the Wind Earl!

Standing beside the Wind Earl was a Knight that wore a dark robe and was completely enveloped within a black fog. It was the Abyss Knight Eighteen Massacres, the Shrine Master of the Blood Sub-Shrine! As expected, he had entered the General’s Mausoleum beforehand and tried to revive the Wind Earl.

“Indeed, reviving the Wind Earl still needed something like blood sacrifices. It suits the style of the Dark Shrine. Just nice, who knows how many players have come to explore the hidden map after the system maintenance, so just let them all become the sacrifices! Haha!” Eighteen Massacres looked down at the players from above. He was pleased to see the almost one-sided slaughter. “Wind Earl, Sub-Legendary Overlord! I only need to revive him and recruit him as my follower. Then I can slaughter the whole City of Light in an instant!”

Beside Eighteen Massacres was Agile Leopard! He was also one of the six Bosses released in the announcement by the system, Venomous Barbarian King•Agile Leopard!

Agile Leopard let out a sinister smile and said, “This method is not bad, attracting players here to sacrifice them, then revive a Sub-Legendary Overlord to become your follower. However, you have to take note of that person named Lone Wolf, his battling powers are remarkable. If he tries to stop your revival plan, it will be a little troublesome.”

Eighteen Massacres sneered. “Codename Lone Wolf? He’s just an overly arrogant piece of trash! Now that I can control an army of 1,000 Undeads monsters, and with the numerous elite players in Blood Sub-Shrine, which my Kingdom of Glory brought to join the Dark Shrine, what can he do to stop me? Not to mention you are here, no? It can’t be possible that you can’t even kill someone like Codename Lone Wolf, right?”

“Hehe, if talking about top-tier techniques, I can kill him easily, but... top-tier techniques are not everything.” Agile Leopard seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped. He then stared at a figure in the crowd and said, “He’s coming!”

Eighteen Massacres narrowed his eyes into a dangerous curve and shouted, “Kill him!”

Since Lin Jie had lived for two lives, he had a deep understanding of The New Age’s rules. Just looking at such a scene was enough for him to understand what had happened—blood sacrifices were needed to revive the Wind Earl! Therefore, Eighteen Massacres had started slaughtering the solo players wantonly.

The General’s Tomb’s Undead were all Elites, so each of their battling ability could be compared to that of a Boss. Meanwhile, the players in the Kingdom of Glory were on the same side as the Undead, so naturally, they had a huge advantage against the other players.

As time passed, there were about 2,000+ players in the General’s Tomb, but these 2,000+ people were unable to stop the attacks from the Undead Army and were forced to retreat backward as they fought.

“Lone Wolf!” Dark Earl was battling with four players from the Kingdom of Glory, and when he saw Lin Jie, he shouted, “What’s happening? Is there any way to solve this situation?”

Lin Jie said in a deep voice, “Yes! Gather all players and stay together! The Undead are not organized, so if you disperse the Undead, you can pick them off one by one. I’ll destroy the resurrection ritual and kill the Wind Earl.”

“You alone?” Dark Earl was stunned.

“You won’t be of much help.” Lin Jie finished his sentence, and only a flash of his figure could be seen—he had changed towards the General’s Mausoleum!

The Undead surged towards the players like the tide. Their numbers were immense, their grades were extremely high, and they had powerful attributes. However, with Eighteen Massacres’ ability, he was far from being able to control all the Undead, or else even if it were Lin Jie, he would also be killed without a doubt.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie charged towards the top alone. He wanted to destroy Eighteen Massacres’ resurrection ritual!

Wind Earl was a Sub-Legendary Overlord and was once a powerful general of the City of Light. If Eighteen Massacres revived him, and with that disgusting Contract of the Dark Shrine, he would forcibly order the Wind Earl to become his follower. If that happened, then everything would be over!

Eighteen Massacres looked at Lin Jie, who was charging towards him coldly. He ordered, “Brothers in the Kingdom of Glory, it’s time for our revenge, attack!”

Boom—

The gate to the General’s Mausoleum was wide open, and a group of players with pale faces dashed out from within! Those were players who had joined the Dark Shrine. After entering the Dark Shrine, the players’ physical bodies would go through a series of changes, gradually becoming that of an Undead. There were various benefits. They did not need to buy food, and when their health points were low, they only needed to eat corpses to regen. Also, the effects of crowd control would be reduced to a certain extent, and so on.

Of course, there were quite many disadvantages, the most obvious one would be becoming the Guild of Light’s villains and would not be allowed to enter the main city. They could only go to players’ Guild Bases, and they had to pay 100% sales tax.

Therefore, Eighteen Massacres was desperate to seize the City of Light! The Dark Shrine players needed their own main city!

“Kill!” Up to a hundred players attacked Lin Jie—all Bandits! Their daggers were waiting for the opportunity to strike. It was obvious that they were afraid of Lin Jie’s Devour skill, so they started the attack with Bandits.

Within Lin Jie’s line of sight were all reflections of blades, it nearly became a world of daggers in front of him. The poison on the daggers was letting out an acid smell, which filled the space. In the blink of an eye, numerous daggers were already nearing Lin Jie’s Kiara Beast King Armor!

-384!

-356!

...

Lin Jie’s heart sank, as time passed, his Defense ability was not like before where he could ignore all attacks. This was still after the Kiara Beast King Armor had been enhanced by the Carrion Pool and reduced the effects of the Bandits’ poisons to a certain extent—Lin Jie would receive even higher damage otherwise.

“Poison Explosion!” A Bandit appeared beside Lin Jie. That Bandit was named Dejected Ghost, it was apparent he was related to Silent Ghost. That person used that attack technique instantly, and five poisons were inflicted on Lin Jie through that attack.

He was a Poison Bandit. He had given up on the traditional damage-dealing style of Bandits and was a job that focused on using poisons as his main method to deal damage! Lin Jie’s nose was filled with the pungent smell of poison—the attacks from the Bandits were already dealing high amounts of damage to Lin Jie!

It seemed as if iOcean’s Heart could sense that Lin Jie was in danger as it started convulsing in his chest. Lin Jie’s heart thumped. ‘It can’t be—’

Upon seeing that Lin Jie was suddenly distracted and in a daze, the Poison Bandit was slightly surprised, but he did not waste such an opportunity. The Poison Bandit immediately swung his dagger and attacked from a tricky angle. It was as if the poison on Lin Jie was instantly triggered and was about to explode!

“Scram!” Lin Jie grabbed the face of that Poison Bandit and used Broken Blade to chop him into two from his head directly!

Critical Hit!

-5,838!

According to Lin Jie’s damage output now, although he was unable to instakill Heavy Armor jobs, just these low-health Bandits were unable to stop Lin Jie. With a roar, Lin Jie seemed to be like a god of war that was bathed in blood. He no longer dodged, he killed a person with each step and charged towards the General’s Mausoleum.

At that moment, an almost unnoticeable figure appeared beside Lin Jie—it was the Venomous Barbarian King•Agile Leopard!

“Do you really think you’re invincible? Today is the day I shall show you what true power is.” Just as Agile Leopard finished his sentence, he opened his bloody mouth and bit towards Lin Jie’s head! That attack was obviously aimed at the moment when Lin Jie was too busy dealing with the others’ attacks and unable to parry!

Lin Jie’s state now was quite peculiar—his health points could be barely maintained as long as he could deal enough damage by crazily attacking since he had the Bloody Demonic Ring and his Life-Steal attribute. However, if he were interrupted, the loss of his continuous regeneration of health points would immediately lead him to death!

However, Lin Jie had another trick up his sleeve, be it Dark Chaotic Hole or Undefeated Anger, both would still let him live. Within Lin Jie’s pupils, Agile Leopard’s attack was magnified by 10 times. His fangs, which were as sharp as a blade, seemed to be going to drill into Lin Jie’s eyes in the next second! Agile Leopard’s attributes were two times stronger than that of Falcon, who Lin Jie had killed. If such an attack hit Lin Jie, then the continuous combo attack would be Lin Jie’s doom.

“Lin Jie...”

Just as Agile Leopard’s fangs were about to bite into Lin Jie, a bright light enveloped Agile Leopard, and his fangs were torn into pieces by the light. Agile Leopard’s face was astonished as he saw what happened to him—it was unknown when another person had appeared.

“Lin Jie, are you alright?” A concerned and slightly anxious voice could be heard asking Lin Jie.
