Chapter 521: Psychic Sorcerer
At the Soldier’s Tomb, Lin Jie, Very Fat, and Dark Earl were farming away busily. To deal with the Elites in the hidden map, Lin Jie used the technique “formation”.
In China, it was needless to say about the importance of the formations of soldiers in battle. Such a technique was further developed to a greater height that became the formation which the three of them were currently using.
Splitting the monsters into three by knocking them away, then using them to interrupt the attacks of other monsters, thus maximizing the trio’s damage output. Such was the overall thinking of Lin Jie. The idea was perfectly executed as after the guild leaders, who were shocked in the beginning, had also started understanding how the formation worked. They were able to grasp the essence of the formation, and thus the efficiency of farming the monsters increased greatly.
Six hours had passed, including Lin Jie as the first batch, a total of four batches of players had entered the map.
Meanwhile, the trio’s progress of farming monsters had gradually advanced to the ninth Soldier’s Tomb. The 100 Elite monsters in the Soldier’s Tomb had given them rich EXP, and Lin Jie, who was the leader and main damage dealer, had even obtained 55% of the EXP by himself. His experience bar was about to increase above 50%.
“Brother Lone Wolf, when are we going to farm until?” Very Fat was still in the center of the crowd of monsters, but now he was used to such a battling method, so he did not think that it was dangerous at all.
Lin Jie said, “Let’s farm another wave and then prepare to enter the Mediumship Tower. Your people have almost finished entering, right?”
“A total of 150 people can be gathered,” replied Dark Earl.
Every time the Boss died, 100 keys would be dropped, so the fact that the two guilds could obtain 150 quotas was already quite a feat.
Lin Jie nodded and stopped speaking. He concentrated on controlling the monsters in front of him to avoid any mistakes. Now, the formation was like a row of domino. If a small mistake was made anywhere, just like accidentally knocking over the domino, then the whole formation would be destroyed.
Under the help of the formation, the time needed to clear each Soldier’s Tomb decreased from the 40 minutes in the beginning to 31 minutes now. According to Lin Jie’s estimate, after they farmed this wave of monsters, they would be able to enter the Mediumship Tower.
Enter the Mediumship Tower, obtain the Mediumship Orb and finally enter the General’s Mausoleum to obtain the Sub-Legendary Fragment, such was Lin Jie’s ultimate target.
20+ Undead monsters chased after the trio while interrupting the attacks of their comrades—it was chaotic. Therefore, in such a situation, the Undead could not avoid the trio’s attacks and received all the damage. When they were near the peripheral of the map, Lin Jie suddenly vigorously activated Mountain-Crushing Strike, crushing these Undead monsters into pieces.
Ding~
—’You have successfully cleared a Soldier’s Tomb in 30 minutes. The Mediumship Tower is opened.’
At the end of the Soldier’s Tomb, a large gate of the Mediumship Tower gradually opened. There was only one floor in the Mediumship Tower, and at the top of the floor, countless corpses and Dark materials could be seen everywhere. Meanwhile, the Mediumship Orb was in the hall of the Mediumship Tower.
“Scatter your people, leave one to two people in every Soldier’s Tomb to prevent other players from getting close,” said Lin Jie.
“We... don’t need help?” asked Dark Earl.
Inside the Mediumship Tower was a Boss, much stronger than the one guarding the gate. Could just the three of them alone be able to defeat the Boss?
“There’s no need. Moreover, it is impossible for them to clear the Soldier’s Tomb to enter the Mediumship Tower,” replied Lin Jie.
Indeed, it was difficult for normal players to want to clear such a map with 100 Elite Undead. The two stopped talking and immediately ordered their subordinates to carry out Lin Jie’s order, then they followed him into the Mediumship Tower. Only at such a moment did the two guild leaders realize how this person in front of them led Brotherhood—he did not rely on something like the charisma of a leader, but his strength!
He could use purely his strength to subdue people and make them act according to his orders.
The trio entered the Mediumship Tower, and inside the building was the usual minimalistic and simple style of the Undead. In the hall, there was a dark-green Carrion Pool, which was bubbling disgustingly. On the Carrion Pool was an orb enveloped by energy, one would be able to take it after killing the Boss.
Splash— Splash—
Dark-green bubbles could be seen on the Carrion Pool, and a Sorcerer, which was covered in a black robe, floated up from within with a hunched back.
[Psychic Sorcerer Rowon] (Dark Gold Boss)
Level: 65
Health Points: 850,000
Magic attack: 1,637-2,218
Defense: 550
Special Feature: Psychic power (There are chances where the Psychic Sorcerers’ attacks could enhance a certain attribute for itself, lasts for 20 seconds)
Skill: Orb of Corrosion, Venomous Demon King, Plague Destruction
Very Fat’s fats habitually trembled again. A Level 65 Dark Gold Boss, it was indeed a hidden map. A Boss of such a level, even if a hundred-man team was gathered, it would still be hard to kill it, not to mention the difficulty of a hundred-man team wanting to clear the Soldier’s Tomb!
As the Psychic Sorcerer appeared, the whole Carrion Pool started boiling. Dark-green orbs floated in the air, one of which was grabbed by the Psychic Sorcerer, and it threw it towards Dark Earl.
Orb of Corrosion!
That was the basic skill of the Psychic Sorcerer, the damage was low, at around 2,000 points, but the enemy would be inflicted with an “Induce” state if they were hit by the Orb of Corrosion. Such a state would last for 3 minutes, and within that duration, the Boss’ skills would all be guided and locked onto one, which meant one could only endure the attack head-on!
Also, the other two skills of the Boss, Venomous Demon King, and Plague Destruction all needed the target to be inflicted with the “Induce” state before they could be activated.
Simply speaking, once one was hit by the Orb of Corrosion, they would be bombarded by the Boss with attacks unless they left the Mediumship Tower.
The flying speed of that Orb of Corrosion was not fast, so Dark Earl spread his Vampire’s Cloak and immediately flew to the side. The Orb of Corrosion lost its target and instantly turned into a puddle of venom.
“Attribute Transfer! Nature Resistance!” A rainbow-colored outline could be seen at the top of Very Fat’s head. Seven beads with different colors floated, that was the skill which Knights relied on to be MTs that countered Mages and allowed them to be equals with the Shield Specialist—Attribute Transfer! Such a skill had no casting time, and no cooldown time, it could allow one to stack all of one’s resistance onto a single attribute.
When the Knights were transferring attributes, they would have an additional 20% increase in resistance.
In Lin Jie’s previous life, a truly powerful Knight could accurately judge the type of attack when the opponent struck to use Attribute Transfer and reduce the damage received to the minimum. However, the demand for one’s observation skills and execution speed were too harsh, so normal people were unable to do it at all.
A layer of pale green light shone on Very Fat—that was the display of the Nature Resistance in effect. The venom that Dark Shrine Undead monsters used all belonged to Nature-type Venom. After he activated Angel’s Wings and enhanced blessings onto himself, he charged towards the Boss without hesitation to tank the Boss’ damage. His Light Sword swung a few times in the blink of an eye, and he shouted, “I’ll tank, the two of you hurry and attack!”
Bang!
The Boss slammed Very Fat’s chest with his hand and instantly left a hideous palm mark, dealing 1,902 points of damage! Although the Psychic Sorcerer was a Mage-type Boss, its attributes for physical attacks were quite powerful too.
Very Fat was shocked. He activated Consecration underneath his feet and continuously used Cross Military with his Light Sword to attack. He was already prepared to tank the Boss this time since he was the most qualified job to tank the Boss amongst the three of them.
Psychic Sorcerer formed another Orb of Corrosion and was planning to attack.
“Dodge!” shouted Lin Jie loudly.
Broken Blade entangled the Psychic Sorcerer’s palm like a poisonous snake and activated Ice Spirit Slash! Most of the effects of such a crowd control skill were useless in front of the Dark Gold Boss, but it still successfully interrupted the Orb of Corrosion.
Slap!
-1,102!
That slap landed onto Lin Jie’s head solidly, and the smell of blood was emitted. He shouted, “Earl come here too, when Psychic Sorcerer attacks a single unit twice with normal attacks, then Induce will be triggered.”
Very Fat was panic-stricken, the information he had received did not mention such an attribute at all! He thought of the consequence of triggering Induce, and a cold shiver ran down his spine.
Although it was so, he still put most of his attention to the number, 1,102.
‘Just what abnormally strong Defense ability does that Warrior have? It’s at least 50% stronger than mine!’
The Dark Earl used the skills of Vampire to suck out the Boss’ health points with all his might while finding the right angle to receive the next blow to prevent anyone from entering the Induce state.
The trio’s damage-dealing ability was all-powerful, and with their quite tacit cooperation, each of them was hit by the Boss in turns, so none of them trigger the Boss’ Induce. The Orb of Corrosion was cautiously dodged by the three of them. Although in between a small mistake in their cooperation occurred, with Lin Jie to save the day, they continued without problems.
After 20 minutes, the Boss’ health points had already dropped to 20%.
At such a moment, there were movements form the door—uninvited guests had arrived! Two illusory silhouettes charged in. One of them was Sea-Conquering Shield, who had tried to kill Lin Jie using Skeleton Soldiers! The other person beside him was even weirder. Lin Jie observed carefully and realized that that person’s body was simply pieced together using the limbs of different animals—it was just his overall shape that was still human!
The two of them originally planned to use Undead Mages to directly kill Lin Jie secretly, but who would have expected Lin Jie to have been on guard long ago? He had been only waiting for more of Dark Earl and Very Fat’s people to come before clearing the Mediumship Tower. Thus, their plan had failed. This time, they finally found such a good opportunity!
“Hehehe, let me, let me do it!” Sea-Conquering Shield grinned hideously. In terms of hatred towards Lin Jie, he hated him to the core! If Lin Jie had not pointed out the fact that he had betrayed in the first place, then The Heavenly Shield would not be so heartless and directly kick him out of the guild.
Although it was due to him betraying The Heavenly Shield first, Sea-Conquering Shield insisted on believing that the reason why their relationship had turned sour was all due to Codename Lone Wolf!
Well, people would always find excuses for the mistakes they made or just simply push all the blame onto someone else. Sea-Conquering Shield naturally thought of Lin Jie as his target for revenge.
“Die! Psychic Sorcerer, go into Enraged Mode, Enraged Mode!” shouted The Sea-Conquering Shield loudly.
“Not good!” The trio was shocked.
Psychic Sorcerer was powerful, but the mechanism for its attack was obvious—one only had to dodge the Orb of Corrosion, and the other few skills would be useless as they could not be activated. Correspondingly, as long as one was hit by the Orb of Corrosion, the three of them would have to face the situation of being bombarded by the Boss to death.
Now, the Boss was enraged through human means!
Splash, splash—
In an instant, tens of Orbs of Corrosion were formed, and with a push of the Psychic Sorcerer’s hands, the Orbs of Corrosion had been shot towards them vigorously.
