Chapter 434: Fiery Wind Set
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Die!” shouted Eighteen Massacres loudly as the Sun Blade Aura pierced through the air.
It was different from the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner as the Sun Blade Aura was purely a high-damage offensive skill. Each attack would have 15% Fire Damage, sputter damage, and an increase of 25 yards for attack range.
Also, although the range of Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner was not as far as Sun Blade Aura, it could be coupled with numerous other skills and deal explosive AOE damage. Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner could be said to be an AOE skill that added variety to a Warrior’s attacking methods greatly.
Just from such an aspect, there was still a huge difference between the Sun Blade Aura and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner.
However, in the eyes of those Hunters, the Sun Blade Auras were the last nail in their coffins. In the blink of an eye, the Blade Auras had climbed up from the ankle of one of the Hunter, and like a bone-stricken scorpion, it engulfed him in scorching flames. Instantly, a burnt smell was emitted.
-735!
Although Eighteen Massacres’ damage could not be compared with Lin Jie, who was abnormally strong, it was already quite high to normal people. The Hunter’s health bar instantly dropped by 1/3, and with a wail, he immediately sped up escaping.
“Sun Fiery Dance!” Eighteen Massacres shouted out loudly once again as he slashed out Sun Blade Auras. The Sun Blade Auras gathered to form a fiery phoenix that chased the Hunters.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a quaint, sharp, and majestic Broken Blade had descended from the sky, piercing into the ground of the Hunters’ only retreat route.
With a tremble of the sword, a Dragon’s Roar erupted from within the Broken Blade, forcing those Hunters to all retreat backward and their health points even decreased by 1,200+. There was even a Critical Hit that instakilled one of the unlucky Hunters.
Lin Jie looked at those Hunters who were players around Level 32. Their levels and strength could be counted as mainstream, but it was far from being able to deal with Lin Jie. Trying to kill him with only such a level of ability, did they think that all Hunters were experts like Childe and Lost Camel? It seemed Twilight Transmigration had looked down on Lin Jie too much.
Eighteen Massacres had yet to arrive, but the attack of Sun Fiery Dance had befallen on them. The fiery phoenix enveloped these players and scorched them continuously, then damage values of 500+ popped up non-stop. These Hunters’ health points were already lacking, so after being burned like that, they turned into corpses one after the other and even dropped a few items.
Lin Jie shrugged and said nonchalantly, “Looks like Character Z has lost his mind from anger, he actually sent such nobodies to ambush us. I say, your Sun Fiery Dance is counted as an ultimate skill, right? How come its attack is this low?”
Eighteen Massacres put away his Seven Style Spear and said helplessly, “Yes, it’s an ultimate skill, its cooldown time is 3 hours and would scorch targets in a wide area 4 times. It counts as my strongest AOE skill, but since I have not changed my job yet, and the weapon I have now is too poor for me, I can’t even deal the damage that I’m supposed to have. The difference between the skills of an actual job before job-changing and the skills from the Dark Shrine is still quite huge.”
“So, you’re still very interested in my weapon?” Lin Jie tilted his head.
“Hehe, everyone is interested in your weapon.” Eighteen Massacres licked his lips and actually directly acknowledged. He smiled and said, “Alright, after taking care of those annoyances, let’s hurry to the Sun Ruins.”
Lin Jie nodded and rode on his Iron-Willed Blood Horse, continuing their journey towards the Sun Ruins.
When they were traveling, Lin Jie opened his Friends Column and sent a message to Inksnow. “I have already sent the coordinates for the General’s Ancient Temple. There is a Skill Book [Shield Wall] on the last floor of the General’s Ancient Temple.”
Inksnow was astonished, the Shield Wall was an extremely important and rare skill for Shield Specialists, its importance could be compared to Lin Jie’s Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner! She was surprised as to why Lin Jie gave her such a piece of information, but she still immediately informed Dumb Fox to prepare and head towards the General’s Ancient Temple.
‘Eighteen Massacres… Do you think I’m an idiot?’ Lin Jie frowned slightly but then smiled.
In less than an hour, a huge ancient temple loomed within the fog. From a distance, it looked like a mirage as the ancient temple, which towered into the sky, was grand and magnificent. Sounds of soldiers shouting and horses neighing could be heard from within the ancient temple, making one’s blood boil from the heat of the battle.
It was the General’s Ancient Temple! The teleportation station towards the Sun Ruins was at the entrance of the ancient temple.
“He- help!” Two Level 34 players ran out from the entrance of the ancient temple. The two of them were Priests, behind them followed a soldier wearing quaint black armor and holding a samurai-like weapon. The two of them saw Lin Jie, and their eyes lit up before hurriedly running towards him.
That soldier was the guardian of the first floor of the General’s Ancient Temple, it was a Level 40 Silver Overlord and quite powerful. The team that these two Priests were in must have been wiped out or else as healing jobs, they would not have run out.
“General’s Ancient Temple’s first floor Boss is a Silver Overlord already, the higher we go, the stronger the Boss. Although this Silver Overlord’s attributes are average, it would still be a little troublesome dealing with it with just the two of us. How about we directly head to the Sun Ruins?” A shred of disdain flashed in Eighteen Massacres’ eyes as he looked at the two players asking for help. As a vague shadow of the Sun Demonic Sword gradually appeared, a sword cut through the void, and a space passageway was formed, the destination at the other end was the Sun Ruins.
“Great, just nicely, I’m too lazy to be a busybody.” Lin Jie casually waved his hand, and with a fling of his right hand, a Naga Shield Soldier with muscular limbs and holding a shield was summoned. The Naga Shield Soldier stood in front of the two Priests and used its shield to block the attacks.
The two Priests, one was called Liaodong, and the other was named October. After seeing Lin Jie, they hurriedly begged them. “Our teammates… They are still inside, please, could you go inside to save them?”
“Let’s go.” Lin Jie pursed his lips and directly entered the Sun Ruins, ignoring the two Priests.
Lin Jie summoning the Shield Soldier to block the attacks from that Elite soldier was as easy as lifting his finger, so he just conveniently saved them. Also, by doing so, it could prevent others from facing such a circumstance, too, and allowed Lin Jie to enter the ruins smoothly.
Eighteen Massacres laughed and also entered the space passageway.
Ding~
—’You have discovered Sun Ruins, Knowledge +20.’
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The scorching hot flames burning and raging winds could be heard in one’s ear, the blazing air that entered one’s nostrils felt like it would almost burn all the nose hair. Fiery wind with Sun Blade Aura could be felt blowing in their face, which made it hardly visible.
“Silver-Feathered Eagle.” Lin Jie summoned in a low voice, and the Silver-Feathered Eagle instantly flew up into the sky.
It was only then that Lin Jie noticed the Sun Ruins was hidden deep within a forest, and weird magic circles of runes surrounded it, encircling the Sun Ruins. From the outside, one could only see a veil of flames.
A Sun Demonic Sword appeared on top of Eighteen Massacres’ head. He happily absorbed it and said, “These are all good stuff, they can directly increase the proficiency of Sun Swordsmanship, tsk tsk tsk, if I could stay here for a year, even my Mystic Skill Book could directly be raised to the maximum level.”
Just at that moment, within the Fiery Wind, a humongous figure walked out from it gradually. It was a Fiery Wind Giant, its skin was dark red, and its body was like that of a mountain peak as it walked towards the two of them.
[Sun Guardian Giant] (Elite)
Level: 45
Health Points: 110,000
Attack: 928-1,203
Defense: 800
Special Feature: Petrified Body (All physical damage received is reduced by 30%)
The monsters in the periphery of the Sun Ruins were these types of Sun Guardian Giants, in one’s line of sight, all one could see were up to a hundred Guardian Giants. The levels of these monsters were not low, while their bodies were huge, so their ability to turn around was weak. There were many methods to kite the monster using positioning. They were rare monsters where one could farm their levels.
Lin Jie took a look at his experience bar. After clearing the Holy Light Temple, his experience points had already reached Level 43 (99.3%), almost to leveling up.
“The monsters in ruins mostly have some hidden attributes or skills that borrows the ruins’ power. Let’s pull one and try to see how powerful it is first,” said Lin Jie as he slashed out a Blade Aura, leaving a deep cut on the Giant’s skin.
Elite Giants had Petrification Body, which reduced physical damage greatly.
Bang!
-928!
The Elite Giant turned around clumsily and gathered a Fiery Wind Boulder in his palm before throwing it towards Lin Jie!
Boulder Throw!
Lin Jie puffed out his chest and faced the boulder head-on as he wanted to test out the damage dealt by the monster. A collision force could be felt from his chest as the Kiara Beast King Armor clashed with the boulder. Most of the force was absorbed by the armor, but Lin Jie still experienced a heavy blow to his chest with the remaining force.
-836!
—Battle prompt message: The Sun Guardian Giant has used Boulder Throw to you. You have received 836 points of magic damage.
“Magic damage?” Lin Jie frowned, his Mana Defense was weaker than his Physical Defense, if all the monsters within the ruins all dealt magic damage, then it would be troublesome.
On the other hand, Eighteen Massacres’ Seven Style Spear was swung around vigorously, with the vigor and vitality of a tiger. He had learned the Sun Swordsmanship, so he had an additional 30% enhancement to all his attributes within the ruins. What was most important was that the monsters in the ruins would receive an extra 100% damage from Sun Swordsmanship. Therefore killing monsters with Sun Swordsmanship was much simpler and more comfortable. The damage dealt by Sun Blade Aura was at least 1,000+, even higher than Lin Jie’s damage.
In this battle, Eighteen Massacres instead was the main damage dealer.
Lin Jie was also happy to be more relaxed and just use Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner together with Army Obliteration to deal damage. With the two of them cooperating, they just directly killed the Elite Giant. The Giant also dropped tens of stones onto the ground, and one of them shone with a faint emerald color.
[Gem Shard]: Can be used for Gemology, if enough Gem Shards are gathered, they could be combined to form a random Gem. It can be used to increase the skill proficiency of a certain skill.
Eighteen Massacres grasped all these Gem Shards into his hand, and in the next instant, his Sun Demonic Sword let out cackling explosive sounds, and the shards all disappeared. He said to Lin Jie in surprise, “My skill proficiency increased by 20 points. If I kill enough monsters, then I can raise my Sun Swordsmanship to over Level 10. I’m confident I’ll have the power to control part of the Three Alliances. Then, we could have a deeper collaboration.”
“Oh?” Lin Jie smiled slightly. “Then let’s continue exploring deeper, the Sun Ruins is extremely large, maybe there are many treasures hidden here.” Lin Jie did not even bother to try if those gem shards could increase his skill proficiency as it was the Sun Ruins, most probably those were the benefits the system provided for the inheritor of Sun Swordsmanship.
Eighteen Massacres laughed heartily before instantly moving forward and started clearing Elite giants. Meanwhile, Lin Jie silently followed behind him and observed the surroundings, there were various rare materials, treasures, and skill books within the Heritage Ruin… If he could find them, then he would definitely want to seize them. Also, he had another thought: Wind Rider Sword Saint was exploring various ruins, would it be possible, to meet him here?
Suddenly Lin Jie missed his step and nearly fell down.
There was a small deep hole on the ground like a treasure-hiding hole. Lin Jie dug out all the soil from the hole and actually found two withered Fire Seven-Petal Flowers. Those were superb channeling materials and a raw material for potions. According to the market price now, it was worth around 30 gold coins.
Heritage Ruin was worthy of its name, it was filled with all kinds of treasures.
“Equipment was dropped!” shouted Eighteen Massacres in surprise at that moment.
