Lin Jie headed towards the dungeon portal and slowly disappeared.

The Flame Serpent looked at the entrance, spitting out flames. He muttered to himself, “A Warrior does not have any means to hide his own body. However, it’s hard to guess what a human of the alternate realm has up their sleeves. I have to test and see.”

The Flame Serpent raised its head and gave a loud roar. Waves of blood-red flames surged into the sky with great momentum. It was like a fiery hell. Whoever saw this would definitely think that the Flame Serpent had already started the soul transfer. Otherwise, would it be this aggressive?

After a while, the Flame Serpent started to tremble as if it had suffered internal injuries. Its scales broke, and fresh blood began spilling out. It was huffing breathlessly. The tongue, which was the Achilles’ heel of the Three-Headed Serpent, stuck out and laid on the ground just like that of a pug.

Once the tongue of the Three-Headed Serpent was attacked, it would lose its ability to cast magic! And the strongest serpent among the Three-Headed Serpent had overwhelmingly powerful magic! With its tongue out, any player nearby would not be able to resist rushing out and attacking it.

The Sub-Legendary Boss was actually this crafty! In order to confirm that the enemy was no longer nearby, he had exposed his own weakness and pretended to be down.

After a long time, he finally calmed down.

The bloodied wounds and broken scales recovered in an instant. It was all just an act!

“It seems like he really left. I have wronged the human.” The Flame Serpent took a deep breath and looked at the King of Blood’s body with greed. He muttered, “Once I transfer my soul into the King of Blood’s body, I will finally be free of this disgusting body that’s shared by three souls. After that, I can get a good position as a master of a Dark Shrine and increase my own abilities. It’s much better than being a lackey of the Sea Mage!

“Devil of the Abyss, I implore you. Give me your strength. Transfer my soul into this new body!”

Ang—

Right after the chanting ended, everything in the magic circle – the treasures, precious ingredients, potions, equipment, and rare items – began to rise and slowly gathered together in the air to form a large silhouette of a Devil. This was Sacrificial Magic! The Devil reached out its hand and pulled out the soul of the Flame Serpent!

A Soul Dragon circulated in the air!

The Soul Dragon was the Flame Serpent! He rushed towards the King of Blood’s body excitedly!

Hunter’s Forward Charge, Wild Charge!

At that moment, a black silhouette rushed out from the dungeon entrance! He was as ferocious as a tiger, heading straight towards the side of the magic circle at high speed. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the items in the circle and kept them into his bag.

That man was Lin Jie! How could he not have known how crafty the Flame Serpent was? He even knew that those hidden treasure spots were fake and that there were tons of powerful monsters and corpses that would detonate instead.

No matter how realistic the Flame Serpent’s act was, it was nothing but a show to Lin Jie, who had been playing The New Age for 7 years. It was hilarious!

The Soul Transfer Ritual required many ingredients to be used as a sacrifice in order to call out the Demigod Soul Devil. The Soul Devil would draw out the soul and transfer it into a new body. However, after the transfer, the new body would be extremely difficult to control. The body would then need to bathe in Dark Holy Water to fuse the body and soul completely.

And the source of Dark Holy Water was in the body of the Three-Headed Serpent! Within its thick, solid heart! After the Flame Serpent was transferred, it planned to retrieve the Dark Holy Water from its heart and swallow its old body after killing it.

That was the evil plan that the Flame Serpent had. Not only would it be able to leave the body with three souls, but it would also kill the other two serpents and take control of all the power. As such, it had specially sealed the other two serpents.

“Ah, human of the alternate realm, you are still here? That’s impossible. There’s no end to human greed. You could not have resisted the temptation to kill me earlier.” The Flame Serpent let out a desperate cry. “Come out, my servants! Come out! Kill this human and protect the ritual!”

Clink! Clink!

In that instant, countless of Skeleton Knights, Skeleton Soldiers, and Skeleton Mages rushed out!

[Skeleton Warrior] (Elite)

Level: 45

Health Points: 38,000

Attack: 643-837

Defense: 350

Additional effect: Intermediate Warrior Mastery

[Skeleton Spellcaster] (Elite)

Level: 45

Health Points: 3,2000

Magic attack: 573-693

Defense:180

Additional effect: Intermediate Mage Mastery

The main hall was filled with skeletons while countless of players were standing guard at the gate, waiting for the Three-Headed Serpent to appear. Suddenly, the ground cracked. One by one, the skeletons clawed onto the ground and dragged out the broken bodies of the Undead!

“F*ck, there are so many level 45 Elites.”

“Quick, kill these monsters. They must have spawned before the appearance of the Boss. Kill them!”

Although the levels and grades of the skeletons were pretty decent, they had weak abilities. Many of the players scorned and even thought, ‘No wonder they could level up so quickly, they were farming these high-level trash monsters.’

The moment they inspected their abilities, Savage Blade immediately gathered together while fending off the skeletons without letting their guards down. The skeletons were formidable as they had the “Intermediate Class Mastery” Skills! These Elite monsters were ones with Advanced Jobs, which meant that each of them was as strong as a fully equipped Warrior or Mage. They were not to be taken lightly!

“Successive Fire Explosion Spell!”

A Skeleton Mage was surrounded by a small mercenary group from the City of Sea King. With just a wave of its wand, it cast two Fire Explosion Spells, which instantly killed the main tank. The flames spread in all directions, burning the rest of the mercenary group and halving their health bars. When the next sea of flame hit them, they were all annihilated!

“Such high damage! Retreat!”

“Oh, God! Damn it, our team aggroed three of them!”

“Our team leader was greedy and aggroed four. It’s too hard to escape now. Ahhh!”

It was already too late by the time the players realized how powerful the skeletons were. Every group that had aggroed more than 2 skeletons were massacred. In the end, the number of groups left was decreased by ten folds.

“Gargoyle and Fire Armor, go and save them.” Fire lit up in Zheng Ziliang’s eyes. The Mechanical Gargoyle was just like a stone bat. It spread open its wings and blocked the next series of attacks. Its sharp claws then grabbed one of the slower skeletons, before it flew up high and dropped it.

-1,726!

If Lin Jie was present, he would definitely be able to identify the different parts of the Mechanical Gargoyle. Its right claw was twice as big and powerful as its left. It was the “Hermit’s Claw” that Zheng Ziliang had specially created for the Mechanical Gargoyle. He had even used Liquid Mithril as an ingredient, so it had high Strength Judgement. Furthermore, it had an additional skill, [Capture]. It could grab hold of small beings for 1.5 seconds and deal 70% damage during the process.

Whoosh—

The Mechanical Gargoyle left traces of its afterimages as it grabbed the skeletons and let them fall at a great height. Many teams that had aggroed two or three monsters had their loads lightened after the Mechanical Gargoyle took away one for them, and they were able to survive.

“Brothers, gather together! Priests and Paladins who have learned [Holy Light Shackles], please cast it on the skeletons that are rushing over. They can intervene endlessly, so we will have to shackle them, or our efforts will be wasted. As for the rest, concentrate your attacks on the Fire Mage Skeletons.” Savage Blade, which was prepared, immediately took command. Even so, it was a difficult fight as there were too many skeletons. There were thousands of them!

Thousands!

This was the exact same number of skeletons that Lin Jie was encountering in the shrine.

The only difference was that Lin Jie was facing the thousands of Elite skeletons all alone! The Three-Headed Serpent was indeed a Vice Shrine Master. A centipede would die but never fall down. Even with its soul pulled out, it could still call out so many Elites!

“Demonic Dragon Crown! Dragon Envoy transformation!”

Now that it came to this, Lin Jie could only fight with all his might! Normally, with his personality, he would think of ways to round up the enemies in one clean sweep to gain EXP and equipment. However, he had no choice but to use his last resort since the Main Plot Mission was a priority.

He had to kill them in his Dragon Envoy state! No EXP or equipment... He had no choice but to accept it!

“Dragon Breath! Summon of Young Dragon! Self-Destruct! Self-Destruct!” The transformed Dragon Envoy chanted loudly, and countless young dragons were summoned. They rushed towards the enemies in a suicide attack and exploded! At the same time, Lin Jie added on with Dragon Breath, spitting out in a frenzy and creating a sea of flames. Damage figures of 2,000+ each appeared above the heads of the skeletons, and they were burnt to death.

One down, two down... After a while, the skeletons were all burnt to ashes, just like wood in a fire. The system was too harsh—Lin Jie was not even able to obtain a single speck of ash.

Ang—

Watching Lin Jie massacre all of the skeletons, the Flame Serpent could not take it anymore. He let out a loud roar, gathered all his energy, and headed straight for the King of Blood’s body! He had to transfer his soul once he had almost materialized!

“Hmph, I won’t let you! Explode!”

Lin Jie spat out the merciless words. Just as the Flame Serpent was about to enter the body, the King of Blood’s body began to expand like a balloon. It grew bigger and bigger before it exploded with a loud boom!

That was the bomb that Lin Jie had Zheng Ziliang place in the body! The controller was in his hands.

Before they had arrived at the Mesosaprobic Shrine, Lin Jie had made Zheng Ziliang place explosives in King of Blood’s body, creating the perfect Trojan Horse! The King of Blood was the Blood Sub-Shrine’s killing machine, so how tough was it? Even with the explosions, only the skin was damaged. The internal organs, muscles, and even blood vessels remained intact without harm. Tyrese and 1,000 Paladins, who were hidden inside the body, remained unharmed too.

“Human of the alternate realm, you are so wicked! So sinister!” The Flame Serpent was trembling and curled up after taking in the explosion. It stumbled and headed back to the body of the Three-Headed Serpent.

Unfortunately, when Flame Serpent was rushing back to his body, he realized something terrible!

Lin Jie was standing on the head that belonged to the Flame Serpent, slashing it and sending blood flying everywhere! The powerful Blade Aura sliced out its eyeballs, tongue, nose, and scales. With one last blow, the entire head fell off!
