Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 454 - 454 Primary Exploration of The Underground City



454 Primary Exploration of The Underground City

The traces of the long years were deeply inscribed in the vast and seemingly endless Munjo Underground City. Although there was no wind or rain washing over in the underground city, the surrounding walls were torn and broken. The faint remnants of the buildings that were once magnificent just looked like random blotches of colors now. In the light breeze, the broken edges looked as if they would turn into dust and sand at any moment. The entire Munjo Underground City was in ruins and desolated.

Time passed by, and Lin Jie held his position for a whole hour.

The two Βandits, Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night, never did show up again. Perhaps there was another route that Lin Jie did not know anything about. However, the greatest possibility was that they used their high-level Stealth Mode and got past him.

With the awareness these two elite players had about the open field, they would have definitely maintained their Stealth Mode at all times. Lin Jie frowned. It seemed like he would have to be extra careful while exploring the underground city. It would be bad if he got caught up in the trap of those two. He could not afford to die! On top of that, those two fellows had the mission to kill him, which made them all the more dangerous.

“Silver-Feathered Eagle, stay above me within a 15-yards radius. Don’t go too far away.” Lin Jie thought about it and sent Silver Feathered Eagle flying up into the air to watch over him. At the very least, he would not be attacked from his blindspots with it.

Starting from now, he was going to explore the Munjo Underground City!

Exploring a map was one of the most rewarding activities in The New Age. When going to an unexplored map, it was also specially called “open up maps”.

The rewards of opening up maps were usually a lot. One could attain many rare items and equipment, which would not spawn more than once. With a gigantic map like the Munjo Underground City, there should be tons of treasures here.

As expected, Lin Jie found a glowing treasure chest after walking 60 yards. It was a Gold Chest! A Gold chest from a map like this, there should be a few gold weapons from this at the very least, right?

Beside the treasure chest, there was a giant skeleton formed from three skeletons. It was messy as if it was pieced together randomly from a pile of bones! Its shape was far from being artistic.

“Ogres really don’t care about their appearance. Even if they turned into Undead, to form something like that…” Lin Jie found it distasteful. Whoever saw this pile of cluttered skeleton ball with a stone hammer in its hand would find it disgusting as well.

[Undead Munjo Ogre] (Silver Boss)

Level: 56

Health Points: 190,000

Attack: 1,329-1,764

Defense: 700

Special Feature: Undead’s body (Reduces receives Magic Damage by 55%)

“Undead’s body? It’s a good thing I did not team up with those two Bandits.” Lin Jie laughed coldly. He waved his hand, casting Water Surge to attract the monster.

The three piles of skeletons rolled over faster than Lin Jie had expected. He nearly could not react in time!

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

-938!

-926!

-1,736!

Lin Jie turned pale with shock. The three Undead actually managed to deplete his health bar by half. Their damage was terrifying! On top of that, the Undead’s body allowed them to be also immune to crowd control skills, making them difficult to handle.

Lin Jie thought to himself that it was a wise choice for him to not have brought the two Bandits with him. The Munjo was not an ordinary map. In normal maps, Bandits would be able to make use of their high Attack and crowd control skills to kill monsters. However, when the levels of the monsters were far above the players in a Level 55 map, Bandits became useless.

Here, other than explosive attacks that ignored Defense, most Bandits would not even deal much damage to monsters. Also, crowd control skills were mostly rendered useless by the monsters’ immunity. Thinking about it, those two Bandits must be having a hard time, right?

Seeing the three Undead wave their stone hammer once again, Lin Jie cast Sea Riding immediately, and the Naga Shield Soldier descended from the sky! Although the skill could summon various beasts, the strongest one was the Naga Shield Soldier. After all, it was summoned with Herya the Mermaid Princess’s strength when Lin Jie was in danger, and its grade was above that of a normal water beast.

-1,526!

-1,348!

-1,463!

The Naga Shield Soldier was not having an easy time either. His Defense was still lower than Lin Jie, and his health bar dropped by 1/3. However, this was sufficient for Lin Jie.

Lin Jie aimed at one of the Undead and Broken Blade slashed out a few consecutive strikes. He successfully pulled its aggro and lured it to the side before dealing his combo attack!

The monsters in the Blade Peak Canyon were afraid of combo attacks. The moment the combo started, the body of the Undead was also sent flying everywhere in shattered bone shards. A lot of the bones were also turned into ash by the powerful Broken Blade and dispersed in all directions.

Lin Jie immediately held his breath in case the darn ashes entered his nose. (The settings of the players’ physical fitness in The New Age was very high, and they had no problem holding their breaths for 10 minutes.)

Army Obliteration! Ice Spirit Slash!

-1,237!

-1,029!

-1,325!

-1,000!

Lin Jie frowned. His damage was too low! He who had sailed the seven seas did not think much of mere rivers. He had just experienced a powerful buff like “increase damage by 45%”. Now that he had returned back to mediocrity, how could he stand it? With some thought, he leaned backward and then pounced forward with all of his body’s strength, charging straight forward with his blade. This was the technique Tomorrow Night had used, which greatly increased his own attacks.

-14,261

Lin Jie was overjoyed. He then began trying out different techniques to deal the greatest damage to the Boss. Any techniques would require a long time of practice before they were able to be used in battles. Normally, players would start by training their techniques with weak monsters.

Lin Jie had seven years of experience from his previous life as his foundation. He also understood many skilled techniques people had come up with in his past life. On top of that, his powerful stats gave him confidence in staying alive, which was why he could test it out on a Boss. Otherwise, it would be as good as looking for death.

Thinking of the elite players in his previous life, Lin Jie suddenly recalled something. ‘Yesterday Morning, Tomorrow Night. In the past, these two people became famous within 3 years and often participated in all sorts of competitions and battles. However, they disappeared without a trace afterward. What happened to them? There were many shockingly talented players as well, and most of them disappeared after 3 years too…’

As he thought about it, Lin Jie’s heart turned bitter.

In other people’s eyes, he had been the Battle Emperor, who stood at the peak of The New Age. However, who knew that he had become known only because countless other elite players had disappeared without a reason?

Just as Lin Jie was trying to arrange the complicated thoughts in his mind, the Undead Ogre suddenly let out a loud roar. The skeleton exploded, and a giant Ogre’s head floated in the air. It bared its teeth as it headed towards Lin Jie! No wonder the Undead Ogres rolled up into a ball. There was actually a head inside of it! Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, and he immediately took a few steps back. Broken Blade danced in the air as he sent slashes of Blade Aura flying towards the head!

He attacked while retreating at the same time. This was considered a basic technique, but to use it smoothly, players must have a high standard of control over it. They must have a full grasp of the intervals between their own attacks, the distance of their attacks, and also their Movement Speed.

The Ogre head had a status skill, [Rage of Ogre], which would turn all of its Defense into Attack Power. It was like a dog with rabies running wild. If he were caught and bitten by it, Lin Jie would lose tons of blood! However, since it gave up on its Defense, it was also the player’s biggest chance!

Shield Cut!

Lin Jie stared at the health of the Ogre head, which was less than 10,000 points. He stood straight and instantly slashed out, shooting his Broken Blade out! Maximum damage, attack!”

-6,058! (Critical Hit)

The Ogre head shook, and Lin Jie followed up with another normal attack, stabbing it. The head fell onto the ground, and dropped nothing—it would be strange if it could even drop anything in such a sorry state.

At this point, the Naga Shield Soldier, which was working diligently, could no longer bear the attacks from the two Undead. It let out a howl as it disappeared. Lin Jie immediately took over the two monsters. He used Light Empathy and the weak Holy Light crowd-controlled one of the Undead. When fighting against the Undead, holy skills had a 100% chance of restraining them.

At that moment, Lin Jie’s combo reached 70, and his Attack increased by 35%. Along with the effect from Heart of Enrage and Blood Power, his damage output was through the roof! Even so, the attacks of the two Undead Ogres were too high. There was too much pressure in facing both of them at the same time!

This was the bad thing about not having a Mage. Lin Jie suddenly began to miss Bu Yi. With that rascal by his side, he would not have to worry about all these.

“Dragon Armor Removal, Clomaros’ Kill!” roared Lin Jie.

Clomaros’ Kill instantly summoned the intimidating God of War, and it directly turned one of the Ogres into dust!

-119,283!

Such high damage output! One should know, Lin Jie was not using Death Rage now! Otherwise, his damage output would have tripled. How much would that be?

The Undead Ogre was completely defeated by this skill. It trembled, and the ashes continued to fall. Lin Jie continued his victorious pursuit and took the chance while Dragon Armor Removal’s Armor Ignore effect was still up to deal a few explosive combo attacks for an instant kill!

The remaining Undead Ogre could not get anywhere and was used as a target for Lin Jie’s combo attack. Its head rolled on the ground, and it actually spat out two gold coins!

This Ogre must have been greedy and materialistic for hiding gold coins in its mouth.

Lin Jie did not mind it and tossed the gold coins into his bag. Who would ever think that money was dirty?

The experience points from the Undead Ogres were much more than that from the Ogres outside! Killing three Undead Ogres increased Lin Jie’s experience bar by 1%! After clearing the entire underground city, he should reach Level 46! Once he reached Level 50, he would be able to carry out the mission for the Secret Techniques of Clomaros.

“Holy Light Winged Armor, absorb it.” Lin Jie released Holy Light Winged Armor, which was an armor made from the dark item Bone Membrane Armor. Upon smelling the bones of the Ogres, it became excited. It released a wave of energy as it absorbed all of the bone dust scattered everywhere. It did not even let the three heads of the Ogres off, crushing them into powder before absorbing.

Holy Light Winged Armor flapped its wings excitedly. It seemed like it did not have its fill.

Lin Jie ignored it and kneeled down in front of the treasure chest. There was no lock on the treasure chest and could be opened easily. He reached his hand into it and felt a book made of paper as well as a thick roll of paper.

—’You received [Skill Book: Munjo Strike].’

—’You received [Wind Rider Sword Saint’s Training Handbook Fragment] x12.”

[Munjo Strike]: Can be used by a Weapon Specialist. It deals a crushing blow of 90% damage once. When your Judgment is higher than the target, the damage will be doubled. You can use 20 Rage Points to deal 20% additional damage. (This skill replaces Heroic Strike)

It was actually an upgraded skill! Heroic Strike dealt damage of 130%. It was a basic skill of a Weapon Specialist, which could be relied on in the early game. However, as Weapon Specialists’ level increased, the skill would slowly lose its advantage. As such, most Weapon Specialists stopped using this skill at higher levels. However, with Munjo Strike, this skill could shine once again!

“An upgraded skill costs at least 30 gold coins!” Lin Jie grinned. He looked into the debris, and inside was a small picture.
