437 Meeting Wind Rider Sword Saint Again
“Such high damage?” Eighteen Massacres was shocked. He was really appalled as he thought he would have the advantage against Lin Jie when competing in the Sun Ruins. Who would have thought that Lin Jie’s explosion of strength was far more than that? He hurriedly stopped showing off and ran towards another batch of Fire Ogres.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
The Magma Snakes exploded and were full of blood. After a plaintive hiss, they landed back in the magma, and nothing was left. Only equipment could be seen floating on the magma.
[Fiery Wind Armor] (Gold, Heavy Armor)
Requires: Level 40
Defense: 201-245
Strength: +25
Endurance: +15
Additional effect: Increases your Critical Strike Chance by 3%
Additional effect: Increases your Fire-Type skill damage by 5%
Additional effect: Fiery Wind Set Component
A Breastplate was dropped! The Fiery Wind Set was finally complete. The set effect was powerful as it had the [Fiery Wind Swirl], a skill which caused all units within the range to receive the Scorching-Type Speed Decrease effect and would receive Magic damage every second. To Heavy Armor jobs, this set had a Crowd control skill, which was very useful.
A Fiery Wind set should be able to go for quite a high price!
Lin Jie stored the equipment, and as he bent his finger, a potion bottle appeared in his hand. Since he was a Potioneer, who had learned Perfect Potion Mastery, although it had been a long time since he had engaged in Potioneer work, he still kept some basic habits of being a Potioneer, which was to bring potion bottles to gather some rare water source and so on. Currently, this magma was a good item to create potions!
After the Magma Snakes died, items like their flesh, blood, skin, and fangs would all be melted in the magma. If one used a scoop of the magma to cook in a special way, then one would most likely be able to make the [Hot Thick Snake Soup]. Players who didn’t know would most probably miss the chance to collect such precious magma material.
Ding~
—’You received [Hot Snake Spirit Magma] x1]
—’You received [Hot Snake Spirit Magma] x1]
...
A total of 15 Magma was stored away.
[Hot Snake Spirit Magma]: Material can be used for Cooking Studies, Potionery, Forging, Armor Crafting, and Enchantment. It can also be directly used to increase your Flames Immunity by 10 points and temporarily produce a Defense Shield that could absorb 200 points of Fire Damage.
No one would be so dumb to directly use such a material as a 200-points Defense Shield Skill. Also, this shield could only absorb Fire Damage, so its limitations were too high. Therefore, it would be better to store and use it later. Lin Jie raised his head and realized that Eighteen Massacres was battling with the Fire Ogres.
To be honest, in the Sun Ruins map, Eighteen Massacres had a huge advantage as he was counted as “of the same kind”, they were from the same origin, so the monsters were all very gentle when up against him. Some were even unwilling to battle with him and could not wait for him to hurry and explore deeper into the Sun Ruins.
Meanwhile, when up against Lin Jie, there were all ferocious and malicious-looking, that was the difference in treatment between being knowing or not knowing the Sun Swordsmanship!
After clearing the monsters protecting the ruins, Eighteen Massacres earned a fortune. The Fire Core obtained from killing Fire Ogres, and the 20 tendons from the Gerukos were all worth over 300 gold coins. Currently, there was not much difference between their loots, so it was equal to them having tied.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then they walked towards the center simultaneously.
That was a teleportation circle that could teleport them deeper into the ruins.
Ding~
—’Do you want to be teleported to [Sun Sword Saint’s Sword Vault]?’
Lin Jie was slightly surprised, but he clicked the confirmation option and was teleported there.
The Sun Sword Saint’s Sword Vault? Such a domineering name! To many people at the “Sword Saint” level, their love for swords was no less than the desire of men towards beauties. If men had a love nest to keep their beauties, then, of course, the Sword Saint had a Sword Vault to store swords. If he obtained precious swords which he was reluctant to use, then he would store them.
The instant Lin Jie entered the Sword Vault, he nearly laughed out loud. He was familiar with all types of history in The New Age, be it official or unofficial, but he had not heard of a person named Sun Sword Saint. This meant that Sun Sword Saint was not a real Sword Saint but, at most, a Warrior, who was at Sub-Legendary level.
However, he was extremely narcissistic! It could be seen from him building the Sun Ruins, he was full of himself, and Sun Sword Saint was a self-given name.
In the vault, it was like the library of nobles as there were portraits, books, and even Magic Crystal Balls everywhere. The image of Sun Sword Saint was carved in every corner of the room, be it the handsome figure of the Sun Sword Saint fighting in the battlefield, standing at the peak of a tall mountain with his head raised and deep in thought, or majestically confronting enemies... There were also many statues at the corner which were plated in gold and looked very luxurious.
Eighteen Massacres looked around and was slightly stunned. He said, “So the Sword Vault is such a place, must we look through all the books to find the treasure?”
Lin Jie did not reply, he just walked around and knocked on the wall here and there, trying to look for any hidden doors. If there were no swords inside the Sword Vault with only disgusting self-praising items, how would he have the face to call this place a Sword Vault? Therefore, there must be a hidden floor.
In the process of searching, Lin Jie had unexpectedly found two treasure chests. In one of them was a Fire Mage’s Skill Book, [Skyfire Chain]. Not only was it an AOE skill, but it could also bind monsters. It was one of the few Crowd Control skills. Meanwhile, in the other treasure chest, there were only 3 gold coins.
Whoosh—
Just as Lin Jie walked to a corner of the room, he could hear the burning of flames, but there was also the roar of the wind, it was unknown what was happening.
“It’s below!” Lin Jie raised his brows and pulled out his Broken Blade.
Shield Cut!
A golden afterimage could be seen from the attack by Broken Blade as it smashed down. The ground slightly cracked, but it was far from being so easily destroyed. Lin Jie used Army Obliteration next and activated four slashes of Blade Aura consecutively. The ground creaked as it was bombarded until a layer of floorboard was destroyed, however, what was exposed was hard rock.
Lin Jie got desperate. “F*ck, Clomaros’ Kill!”
Just as Lin Jie wanted to activate an ultimate skill, Eighteen Massacres hurriedly shouted, “Hey, wait a second! What are you doing, Lone Wolf?”
Lin Jie replied, “I’m breaking open the door.”
Eighteen Massacres’ mouth twitched, he hurriedly ran towards where the few statues were, then he placed the portraits of Sun Sword Saint and the praise of Sun Swordsmanship according to order. He thought for a while and took out his Sun Demonic Sword, and with a thud, a staircase was gradually revealed on the ground.
Eighteen Massacres glared at Lin Jie. “Who would open the door like you?”
Lin Jie gave a dry cough and immediately went down the stairs. The sound just now, if he heard correctly, should be the... Wind Rider Sword Saint’s skills!
“How long more can take the seven of you last? You were my swords originally that small Sword Artist, who self-proclaimed as Sun Sword Saint had secretly snuck into my place and stolen the seven of you. Who would have thought that you just betrayed your original master just like that?” Sun Sword Saint’s old but powerful voice could be heard. Although the air was filled with the collision sounds of swords, his breathing was still completely normal and steady.
Seven Longswords were flying in the sky, attacking continuously. With just a casual slash, the Fire Blade Aura surged towards the Wind Rider Sword Saint ferociously as if they could move mountains and drain seas. The seven Longswords attacked non-stop and enveloped the Wind Rider Sword Saint with attacks until he was like a Fireball.
[Sun Sword Spirit] (Dark Gold Boss)
Level: 45
Health Points: 350,000
Attack: ???
Defense: ???
Note: Sun Sword Spirit is the most important guardian of the Sun Ruins. They have a mind of their own and have always waited for their master to return. If you offend him, then he won’t mind doing some things other than guarding the ruins.
Seven Dark Gold Bosses! A cold shiver ran down Lin Jie’s spine, he didn’t expect for Sun Ruins to have so many Dark Gold Bosses. A Dark Gold Boss’ strength was already powerful, so seven of them appearing at once, it was too overwhelming!
However, he did not expect for Wind Rider Sword Saint to really be here! That made Lin Jie elated.
From what the Wind Rider Sword Saint said, one could figure out that these swords were originally his, but they were stolen by the Sun Sword Saint to guard the ruins. He was here to take back his swords.
Even if it were seven Dark Gold Bosses, they were still unable to penetrate the Wind Rider Sword Saint’s Defense as he was a Hero-Level NPC!
With just a wave of Sword Saint’s hand, hundreds of layers of whirlwind that were blowing fiercely would gather to form the thickest Defense. That was the Wind Rider Sword Saint’s [Wind Gathering Shield], which could reduce damage by 60%, and each layer had 10,000 health points.
The Seven Swords pierced the Wind Rider Sword Saint continuously, but they were still unable to penetrate his Defense.
Wind Rider Sword Saint looked at Lin Jie, and a smile appeared on his old face, which seemed to have been through vicissitudes of life. “I remember you, human.”
“Greetings, I show my respect for you,” replied Lin Jie politely. He then took a look at the Seven Swords and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Yes, I do need your help. These Seven Swords were originally mine, but my Willpower Mark was removed after it was stolen. Now, I need to gain back control over it. There is a formation map inside the vault, now I am not free to go and take it myself. Go and help me take it, with it, I would be able to recover control over it,” said Seven Swords Formation directly.
—’Do you accept the mission [Seven Swords Formation]?”
Yes!
Lin Jie immediately accepted the mission.
“Hey, Lone Wolf, he doesn’t seem to be the NPC of this ruin, right?” Eighteen Massacres stared at Wind Rider Sword Saint as his eyes lit up. “Those Seven Swords should be my reward for exploring the ruins! We cannot accept the mission, or else we won’t be able to obtain these swords, am I right?”
Lin Jie persuaded, “Sun Sword Saint is just a nobody, a small NPC, so the Seven Swords which he had left behind shouldn’t be that powerful. Instead, that old Barbarian is an important character in history, if we get on good terms with him, then we would be able to obtain bigger benefits.”
“I think those seven Dark Gold Boss swords can bring me more benefits.”
“No, no, no, you’re wrong.” Lin Jie shook his head and said with a serious face, “Only by helping that NPC and I will bring you more benefits. If you insist on chasing him away to take your swords, then I will kill you. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll even guard your corpse for a few days, won’t your loss be bigger?”
Eighteen Massacres was shocked, his face darkened as he said, “What do you mean? Are you threatening me?”
Lin Jie shrugged and said calmly, “If you want to, you could take it that way. If you obediently cooperate with me to finish exploring the ruins and let me finish this old Barbarian’s mission, you would be able to obtain benefits as well. However, if you wish to oppose me, then we won’t be able to continue working together.”
“You! Is that the attitude of wanting to cooperate?” shouted Eighteen Massacres in a loud and stern voice, he was frustrated, and his eyes were burning with anger.
“There will only be the so-called cooperation on equal grounds, on the premise of similar strength, but you...” Lin Jie said calmly, “...should still be useful. Stop blabbering and move forward now, or else...”
