Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 512: Battling Eighteen Massacres Again

“Dark Chaotic Hole!”

As the ice arrows that filled up the sky were about to hit Lin Jie, he used Dark Chaotic Hole and sucked in all the attacks. Meanwhile, he dashed away as fast as a cheetah, pouncing onto Eighteen Massacres while swinging his Broken Blade. Eighteen Massacres’ ability was so strong that he was even able to control the Undead, Lin Jie had to instakill him!

“Blood of Darkness, Undead Creation!” Eighteen Massacres shouted loudly.

Droplets of pitch-black blood oozed out of his skin, they then gathered together to form a ball before falling to the ground. The instant the Blood of Darkness appeared, Eighteen Massacres had sprinkled a large amount of ash, the ash and blood were mixed, and they instantly transformed into skeletons.

Six Skeleton Guards were formed! They were all guards holding shields. Their health points were as high as 6,000, and their Defense was 700. They surrounded Eighteen Massacres closely, protecting him tightly to prevent Lin Jie’s assassination attempt.

Seeing that he was saved, Eighteen Massacres gave a smirk. “Go, Sun Demonic Sword!”

Whoosh—

The Sun Demonic Sword, which was burning with pitch-black flames, was like the sword of a Devil, and it attacked Lin Jie once again. After releasing numerous Fire Blade Auras in the sky, these Blade Auras turned into tunes, which contained destructive aura. They shone with a cruel light and were smashed towards Lin Jie!

At the same time, a fatal attack was released! Those Skeleton Mage monsters of the second floor, which had been controlled by Eighteen Massacres, once again gathered Frostbolts, aiming them at Lin Jie! With Lin Jie’s Mana Defense ability now, it was impossible for him to endure the damage of that immense number of Frostbolts, so he could only immediately dodge.

That was what Eighteen Massacres wanted. He activated Blood Will, and the attacks of the Undead became even crazier, forcing Lin Jie to dodge continuously here and there.

—Blood Will: Increases the Attack Speed and Channeling Speed of all Undead units by 15%.

‘This guy is equal to a summoner now, and the number of units he can control are too many.’ As Lin Jie dodged while pondering carefully. ‘The shrine master of the Blood Sub-Shrine, although its status cannot be compared to the City Leader of a main city, it’s quite high ranked too. Who knows how many benefits he has reaped with such a position. If I had known earlier, I would have directly killed him then! And also taken away the Sun Demonic Sword.’

Just at that moment, Eighteen Massacres’ Seven Style Spear had attacked, yet again, Abyss Spear was activated! This Abyss Spear brought along the will of the Endless Hell, he wanted to continue corroding Lin Jie’s attributes!

Lin Jie took a step back and wanted to use Vanishing Step again, but he realized he did not have enough time at all!

Time was needed to use any technique. Even though it was the same action of taking a step back, the reason why the Vanishing Step could create an afterimage was that there was such a process of creating the afterimage. Therefore, the time needed to execute it would definitely be slightly longer than just stepping back normally. Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres’ attack was as fast as the wind, and Lin Jie did not have the time to use top-tier techniques at all.

Clink! Clank!

Lin Jie parried Eighteen Massacres’ attack, then an idea struck, and he quickly jumped into the group of monsters. He instantly started slashing around with his Broken Blade! Eighteen Massacres’ state now was similar to Zheng Ziliang, they were both “summoners”, so they could use their will to replace the will of the monsters and command the monsters to do many things. However, there was a deadly weakness for such a skill—the precision of control was not enough.

There was a limit to one’s mental strength and thinking speed. Even controlling two units simultaneously to perfection was difficult. For example, normal summoners, once it was a crucial battle, they would completely give up control of their own body and be fully concentrated in controlling the Summoned Beast. The more Summoned Beasts controlled at the same time, the faster one would get tired and result in an even lower precision of control.

For example, now, Eighteen Massacres was simultaneously controlling hundreds of Undead, so the only thing they could do was basic instructions like “attack” and “retreat”.

It was exactly what Lin Jie was aiming to take advantage of. He rushed into the group of monsters and wanted to kill these Undead first! Since Eighteen Massacres wanted to rely on his underlings to battle, Lin Jie would kill them all first!

How powerful was Lin Jie’s damage output? He could even go one on one with Dark Gold Bosses. Although these monsters were the Elites from Ice Shrine, they were currently controlled by Eighteen Massacres and could not unleash their full ability. Besides being able to make Frostbolts, they could not do anything else.

“Lightning Spear Strike!”

Lin Jie directly attacked with the Lightning Spear Strike of his Mystic Skill Book. He threw the Lightning Spear in his hand into the group of monsters.

The Undead pounced onto Lin Jie while screaming. Lin Jie opened his mouth widely and activated his Devour. Since he was in the center of the monsters, once he activated Devour, he would be almost invincible!

However, Eighteen Massacres smiled eerily. One could only see him raise his hand, and all the Undead instantly stopped attacking as if they were petrified.

Eighteen Massacres had been observing Lin Jie secretly all this while, so how could he not understand this skill? He had been on guard against that skill. The reason why he made the Undead attack so pressingly was to tempt Lin Jie into using that skill, and he succeeded.

Whoosh—

Devour disappeared after it was activated for one second.

“Cancel control.” Eighteen Massacres smiled coldly and canceled his control over the Undead. Instantly the Undead recovered their original battling instincts and methods, and naturally, their focus was concentrated onto Lin Jie.

What Eighteen Massacres did not only solved the problem of not having enough mental strength when controlling the Undead, the Undead’s battling powers also increased greatly, allowing them to become helpers to fight against Lin Jie.

Lin Jie had decided, if necessary, then he could only use Clomaros’ Kill to settle Eighteen Massacres! Clomaros’ Kill could deal ten times the value of his original damage output, so it shouldn’t be difficult to instakill Eighteen Massacres! He put thoughts into actions, and his Broken Blade was instantly enveloped in a layer of faint golden light, he had already started to activated Clomaros’ Kill!

Ten times the damage value!

Such a skill could be said to be the skill with the strongest burst in damage! Even if it were the top-tier technique Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, it could not be compared with the Clomaros’ Kill. That was because the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes need a long time to activate and build up. Also, the side effects were too strong.

In the blink of an eye, the destructive clouds of Clomaros’ Kill had gathered above their heads. Space was distorted, and a golden greatsword descended from the sky!

Lin Jie’s Attack was almost 2,000 now, and together with the enhancement effects of Enraged Mode from the decrease of his health points, Lin Jie’s Attack had surpassed 3,000. If Eighteen Massacres was hit with Clomaros’ Kill, then he would most definitely die from it.

“It’s finally here! Let me see if your Clomaros’ Kill can take my attack! Abyss Spear!” With a ferocious roar from Eighteen Massacres, barbs grew out from the Seven Style Spear. These barbs were like the horns of the devils, hideous and fearsome. The runes were activated and filled with the will of hell.

“Mystic Skill Book, Abyss Judgment•Spirit Slash!”

The Mystic Skill Book that Eighteen Massacres had learned was named “Abyss Judgment”, its grade was the highest one, Dark Gold! The Abyss Judgment’s skill Spirit Slash could summon Abyss Evil Spirits to release sound waves and deal a 220% of powerful damage. It could also randomly summon an Evil Spirit to battle for its master, and it lasted for 12 seconds.

Kaboom—

Clomaros’ Kill slashed downwards!

Eighteen Massacres’ Evil Spirit faced the blade of the Clomaros’ Kill head-on. The instant they came in contact, the roars of tens of thousands of Evil Spirits within the Spirit Slash could be heard, it confronted Clomaros’ Kill head-on!

This was a pure battle of skill grade, Strength Judgement, and attack damage. In gaming terms, it would be a battle of “judgment”. After Spirit Slash was activated, a dark-green Evil Spirit charged out and used its hands to block the sharp edge of Clomaros’ Kill with all its might.

That was “Poison Spirit”, in the 12 seconds it existed, it would deal poison-attribute damage to enemy units and continuously weaken the enemy units’ Defense values.

“Hmph, with just a Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book’s skill and you dare dream of blocking my Clomaros’ Kill?” Lin Jie roared fiercely, and the golden greatsword instantly crushed that Poison Spirit into powder and was sliced towards Eighteen Massacres’ head!

Bang—

A fearsome hole was created in the ground!

Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres had disappeared without traces.

“Hahaha, Lone Wolf I have already understood how strong you are, it’s nothing much, nothing much! My main target today is not you. Truthfully, when I was battling with you, my subordinates had already contaminated the Goddess of Ice’s Statue, that is already enough. Meanwhile, you will suffer from my revenge soon!” Eighteen Massacres’ voice resounded in the air, in the whole of the second floor of the Ice Shrine, leaving Lin Jie with the spawned monsters only. “Wait for me, the return of the shrine master of the Blood Sub-Shrine!”

“The shrine master of the Blood Sub-Shrine?” Lin Jie frowned slightly. “Looks like I have to eliminate the Dark Shrine.”

“Baili, Bu Yi, you can come here now,” messaged Lin Jie in the group chat.

After the two entered and heard of what had happened, they were astonished. Eighteen Massacres had actually become the shrine master of the Blood Sub-Shrine? That spelled trouble for everyone as one should know that the Undead monsters spawned in the wild of The New Age mostly belonged to the Dark Shrine. If they were controlled, then didn’t it mean that Lin Jie and the others could be attacked by Eighteen Massacres at any time?

Lin Jie said calmly, “Relax, his ability is limited, so the number of Undead he can control is limited. Temporarily, he will not be of much threat. However, the Dark Shrine, this organization... I never thought that there would really be players who could make a place for themselves there. I need to carefully consider the countermeasures needed in the future.”

“Alright, not sure if you have received the message, but The New Age server seems to about to go into maintenance,” said Baili Changcheng.

“Maintenance?” Lin Jie was stunned.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, The New Age had running for a long time, and besides having area maintenance for things like upgrading the main city, it seemed like there would only be large-scale maintenance when expansion packs were released. Even five years later, all the expansion packs had been directly carried out as Epic events, which allowed players to join in, there had been no need for maintenance back then.

“That’s right, the reason given by the officials was that the system was overloaded, which resulted in some operation bugs.” Baili Changcheng shrugged. “This maintenance seems to be a system upgrade and would release part of the hidden maps. The officials even made public these maps and also announced the information of a few powerful Bosses as if it were real. It was said that as long as one went to kill them, they would be able to obtain a rich reward.”

Lin Jie was slightly surprised. Just at that moment, the system’s message resounded in the sky.

—System Announcement: Dear players, as there are too many players who have entered The New Age, the system needs to undergo maintenance and renew. This maintenance will last 30 hours, and after maintenance is complete, a portion of maps will be released. The list of six powerful Bosses will be released, players who kill the six Bosses will obtain rich rewards. As for more maintenance information, please check the official website. After this maintenance, the first Lord God’s competition [Best Of The Best] will take place, everyone is welcome to participate!

Once the announcement was made, the whole game blew up.

A newly released map? As one could predict, there would definitely be an abundance of treasures waiting for players to find! That went without saying!

Six powerful Bosses? It went without saying that everyone would try to snatch! However, according to the usual way of the system, these few Bosses would definitely be in the new map. Also, this maintenance was the prelude to the expansion pack. Players could obtain plenty of items related to the expansion pack, and these items would be of great use in the new expansion pack.

Each expansion pack was the same as the transitions in history, like how heroes would emerge in each time period, a batch of powerful players would definitely rise.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie stared at the “Lord God’s competition” with a bitter smile. In Lin Jie’s previous life, no matter whether it had been duels or competitions, they would all be held by the Empire or Holy Church. This time, it was directly held by the Lord God “system”. As for the reason...

“Didn’t I just play around a little in the first Final Tournament? Did the system have to be like this?”
