Chapter 541: I Am A Messenger

“Did you know? I hate working with clever people because even if I am sincere, I still need to use many methods to dispel their wariness, for example, you.” Graceful Snake casually threw two items towards Lin Jie.
“This is the Certificate of Death. It is equal to the identification of us Undead. It will be effective for two hours per day and will allow you to become an Undead player in that period. The other item is a rough map of the Level 85 [Spirit Castle].”
Lin Jie looked at the Certificate of Death in his hand in surprise. From what Graceful Snake did, it could be confirmed that she really wanted to cooperate with him. Truthfully speaking, even if Graceful Snake forced Lin Jie to cooperate, he had to comply under such a situation since this was the Tribe—he was the target for everyone! However, with the Certificate of Death, she had given Lin Jie a chance to escape.
If Graceful Snake chose to cooperate forcibly, then Lin Jie might choose to compromise temporarily. However, Graceful Snake would suffer from his revenge. Now, Lin Jie had begun to consider cooperating.
“What do you mean by giving me this map?” asked Lin Jie.
“There is a permanent transformation item in that map. If you have the ability, then go and take it.” Graceful Snake smiled slightly. “You can treat it as a test. Alright, I’ll cut to the chase. If you want to contact me, then release a mission. The mission’s name will be [Search For NPC Yuri], I have to leave now. That brainless Dark Craze, he’s most likely going to push all the responsibility of the mission failure onto me.”
After she finished, Graceful Snake twisted her body and directly left.
Lin Jie took a look at the Certificate of Death in his hands. That item was similar to the transforming item he had, which could temporarily change the player’s appearance. However, Lin Jie clenched it tightly, and the Certificate of Death was crushed into a ball. Then it was frozen by Ice Spirit Slash and turned into ice shards.
No matter if Graceful Snake really wanted to cooperate, Lin Jie would not believe a player from the enemy camp.
No matter what, he had to take a look at the situation in Deathknell Town! Lin Jie drank the Stealth Potion and ran across the swamp. Very quickly, a small town appeared in his line of sight. That small town was on a small patch of grass, and the surroundings were countless muddy swamps. The swamp monsters were crazily attacking that town.
At the gate, up to 100 Undead Sorcerers were chanting curses, trying their best to reduce the swamp monsters battle prowess.
“Eh?” Lin Jie suddenly discovered a strange rainbow-colored flower right in the center of those swamp monsters—it was as gorgeous as the rainbow. That was the Yimi Flower, a material needed to create Epic or even Legendary potions.
At that moment, an immense gloomy aura suddenly descended from the top of the Deathknell Town! One could only see the miasma of the swamp gathering into a huge dark hand and grabbing that Yimi Flower. It pulled the flower out with its roots attached and then disappeared.
The master of that aura was the Undead General Alpistin!
‘It seems herbs like the Yimi Flower can emerge from the mud of the Deathknell Swamp, and Alpistin will form a clone to pick them.’ Lin Jie pondered for a while, and an idea dawned upon him.
In the next 12 hours, Lin Jie hid at his original spot and continued observing. Alpistin would appear once every four hours to grab the herbs—those materials were naturally used to recover his body.
Once again, the time for the herb to emerge was coming!
Lin Jie held his breath and waited for the time to come. Very quickly, the herb once again appeared where the swamp monsters were densely crowded. This time, it was a Mageroyal Flower. Just as it appeared, vigorous dark aura could be felt.
The Mageroyal Flower’s grade was much higher than the herbs spawned earlier! Meanwhile, in the sky, that pair of huge hands was formed yet again and grabbed towards the Mageroyal Flower.
“Death Grip!” Lin Jie grabbed the Mageroyal Flower, and not caring whether or not it would damage the herb, he stretched out his hand and grasped the herb in his hand. Then he instantly pulled it back.
“SJIODHIO (Language of the Undead: Thief!” That huge hand let out an enraged roar and smashed down onto Lin Jie’s head!
Space Movement!
Lin Jie activated his Holy Light Winged Armor’s skill and barely dodged the attack. A dark bottomless hole was created where Lin Jie originally stood. As expected of the one one who could even overpower the God of War, he was so powerful it rendered people speechless!
“Wind Walk!”
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Lin Jie immediately activated Wind Walk to escape. Lin Jie was unable to know what Undead General Alpistin’s grade was, but his strength was definitely top-grade. When facing such a Boss, Lin Jie could only escape!
However, if one observed carefully, they would realize that Lin Jie was not running around aimlessly—he was deliberately depleting Alpistin’s strength.
‘God of War’s trial, from the first mission, its nature was to make up for the God of War’s regrets. To put them in simpler terms, to take revenge! In this mission, the so-called divine equipment Fallen was simply a diversion. The God of War’s real aim was to get back at Alpistin by teaching him a lesson.’
‘Logically speaking, the fellow that accepted the mission before me must have gone the wrong way and tried his best to obtain Fallen, right? Maybe that’s exactly why the Deathknell Town had not been invaded yet.’
Lin Jie was clear about the mission. He understood that the objective behind the first God of War’s trial mission was to help the God of War vent his anger. Although that didn’t make the mission sound glorious, that’s how it was.
In the past 12 hours, Lin Jie had searched and tidied up various deeds of the God of War once again. He had finally found the video of the battle of the God of War and Undead General Alpistin.
In the video, the God of War had been clearing the Undead when he encountered Alpistin. The God of War had already been exhausted, so in the end, he had been defeated. Although that video had the suspicion of purposely finding excuses for the God of War, together with the nature of the mission, Lin Jie had quickly guessed the system’s hint. The method to beat Alpistin was to exhaust his powers and defeat him! As the saying went, “An eye for an eye.”COMMENT
That was also getting back at Alpistin for the God of War. Therefore, the reason the system had set up Alpistin as being injured was also so.
Lin Jie ran around the swamp and crazily used Scroll of Speed and Haste Potions as if they did not cost money. He also immediately activated all kinds of speed-increasing skills once their cooldown finished. Although the huge hand was still at Lin Jie’s heels, its speed was gradually reducing.
Finally, that huge hand seemed to have been too tired from chasing. It suddenly trembled and stopped the chase. It looked like it was about to give up on the target.
‘Now!’
Lin Jie turned around and realized that hand, which was in a mist-like state, seemed to gather and disperse at times as if it had already lost the strength supporting it.
“Devour!”
How would it be that easy to escape? Lin Jie opened his mouth widely, and the miasma, which filled up the sky, surged towards him like a flood discharge. While devouring the mist, pure darkness energy merged into Lin Jie’s body.
The Undead General Alpistin was a powerful being that had once won against the God of War. The core of his strength was solid. Lin Jie absorbed that part, and although it was not even 1/10,000, it still had an incomparable effect.
Boom! Boom!
Lin Jie’s right hand suddenly swelled up by two folds, and pitch-black veins popped up on his hand—it was Death Grip’s palm! The only Dark-type skill Lin Jie had was Death Grip, so the energy that was just absorbed was gathered within his Death Grip.
Ding~
—’Your skill, Death Grip, has been strengthened! In the 2 seconds, Death Grip is activated, all additional targets outside the grabbing range will receive the skill’s full effect.’
The right arm illusion formed by Death Grip was two times larger than before! Once that hand was stretched out, it resembled the palm of a god and could directly grab the head of others. Also, the effect had changed from a single unit to AOE grasp!
“Who is it that dares to challenge the majestic Alpistin?” An illusory burly figure descended from the sky.
In that instant, in the whole swamp, the swamp monsters, Devils, and even the trees and insects had all quietened down. They did not dare even to make a single sound.
That figure did not look real, as it seemed to be made of the swamp miasma. However, the miasma had gathered and formed a figure that was as solid as a crystal. If seen from afar, one might think that it was a human sculpture made of black gemstones.
[Undead General•Alpistin Clone] (Sub-Legendary)
Level: 65
Health Points: 3,000,000
Attack: 1,920-3,019
Defense: 1,700
Note: The great Undead General, a hero that has defeated the God of War before!
“Hero-Level!” Lin Jie was completely astonished. That general was actually an existence on the same grade as the Wind Rider Sword Saint, and just its clone was Sub-Legendary! His mission was actually to kill such a being!?COMMENT
“Human?” Alpistin stared at Lin Jie and clenched his right hand. The endless miasma turned into a giant crescent axe. Such a simple action had instantly changed the surrounding environment. The cold wind became as sharp as blades, the falling leaves, and the mud in the swamp even transformed into thorns—all of them were aimed at Lin Jie!
Lin Jie calmed himself down. He knew that the most difficult battle since he had entered The New Age was about to arrive! He had to single-handedly face a Sub-Legendary unit, the clone of a Hero NPC! The difficulty of the mission was insanely high, and the chance of survival was nonexistent!
‘I hope there’s a way to solve it,’ thought Lin Jie in his heart. He pondered for a moment and thought of something. He took out the letter and identification. Then he said respectfully, “Lord, I am a messenger from the Royal Capital of Darkness. This is just one of my human clones. My main objective for coming here is to deliver the Orc Prophet’s letter.”
Alpistin was slightly stunned, but he took the letter and identification token. After observing carefully, he crushed the two items.
Lin Jie’s heart skipped a beat from astonishment, and he immediately ran away! However, at that moment, the huge crescent axe was already chopping down towards Lin Jie!
“Foolish human, before you trick the great Undead General, you should at least learn the Tribe language first!” mocked Alpistin.
Alpistin knew Guild language. Due to his habitual thinking and the fact that he was under high pressure, Lin Jie had used the Guild language to speak with the Boss. Therefore, Lin Jie had met his tragedy.
“It’s impossible to escape anymore!” Lin Jie gritted his teeth and was prepared to activate Undefeated Anger to receive that attack.
At that moment—
“SIDHEYAG! (Language of the Undead: Death Chain!) ”
With the obscure chanting, runes were formed one after another and instantly tied Lin Jie up tightly. In front of him, 300+ people appeared, and amongst them, there was one who was looking at Lin Jie with amusement—Dark King, Dark Craze!
