Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom—

Naga Shield Soldiers were like sea behemoths as their tongues flickered. They were two meters tall and served as the mighty shields of the ocean! Lin Jie could not help but retreat from the impact upon collision with Mona’s Forward Charge.

The danger from the Forward Charge had been resolved, but the Naga Shield Solder was still alive!

He was still not dead yet! Lin Jie was stunned as the Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book’s summoning skill could, at most, call upon monsters that were on the same level as the summoner. Their attributes were rather average as well and were pretty useless.

However, Lin Jie received the shock of his life when he looked at Naga Shield Soldier’s attributes panel.

[Naga Shield Soldier] (Elite)

Owner: Codename Lone Wolf (Fu Sheng)

Level: 45

Health Points: 11,000

Attack: 100

Defence: 928 (Personal defense: 600 + Skill boost: 328)

Skill: Contract Shield (Formation of a shield with an owner’s 30% Defense stats), Shield Wall (Reduce damage by 40% for 6 seconds), Intervene (Tank an attack for friendly army and reduce the damage suffered by 20%)

Gudu—

Lin Jie swallowed hard. Could this skill really summon monsters out? It was essential to understand that it would be hard even for Contract Summoners to contract pets with such high stats!

However, Lin Jie finally understood when he glimpsed at its stats.

In actual fact, Naga Shield Soldier had failed as a defense-type pet. Although it had decent health points and defense, its attacking power was too little, insufficient to draw out any aggro. Secondly, it did not possess any aggro skills, and thus all monsters would ignore it, making it useless during a fight.

[Summoning Water Beast]: You can randomly summon a water beast of the same level as you. It can last for 10 minutes, with a cooldown period of 30 minutes.

Lin Jie pondered as he stared as the skill manual. This should be dropped out at the last moment when the Mermaid Princess felt that she was in danger. At his current state, Lin Jie would only be able to summon Normal-level monsters at the very maximum. There were only some chances for him to summon Elite-level monsters if his Sea Riding Skill was above Level 10.

“Thank you, Herya,” said Lin Jie gently.

Ding~

—”The Favorability of Herya the Mermaid Princess towards you has grown by 200 points.”

Favorability could be increased so easily? If they were not in the midst of a battle, Lin Jie would recite pick up lines to the Mermaid Princess to boost the favorability level.

Everyone was stunned, Lin Jie was about to suffer a critical hit, but he had managed to summon a shield-holding Naga, which did not die after tanking the damage. How high was its health bar?

“Keep it steady, let the Naga tank Mona’s randomized Forward Charge.” Lin Jie discovered the Naga Shield Soldier’s worth: Skill Block! This pet with extremely low Attack and insanely high health points was only capable of that.

However, Naga Shield Soldier’s skill held the utmost importance. Once anyone encountered Forward Charge, the soldier would charge up to intervene and tank the damage, giving the rest extra output time.

As time passed, the superior-grade magic potion’s effect ran out. Qiu Yuan concentrated her magic and gave all her mana points to Bu Yi. On the other hand, Mona finally instakilled Naga Shield Soldier with a single blast! After the soldier’s death, Mona was only left with 20,000 health points.

Weng—

A sudden bellow sounded from Mona as he kneeled down in devotion and begun chanting. A demonic preacher draped in a cape and hood appeared in the sky. The preacher boosted Mona with Divine Shield, and filled his damage reducing points, resulting in 1 damage point suffered for every attack.

“Master, I am willing to give my all, in exchange for the strength to excavate all these intruders.” The chunnibyou Boss, Mona, prayed fervently.

The preacher chuckled evilly. “Sacrifice your family and soul, in exchange for the great strength...”

“As you wish, Master. I have been wandering around in the void, but Master has given me life...” Mona muttered out his praises for the preacher, and devotion filled his words.

When Mona was nearing death, he would pray to the preacher in exchange for strength, thereby entering the Superior Mode. He would be casting out the Destruction Divine Spell after one minute, attacking the map, and killing the team! Nobody would be able to escape that.

Mona had 20,000 health points, and the highest Damage Dealt by players was only 1 point, and they had to kill him within a minute! This was the final test!

“Mona, look at what this is? You weren’t saved, but instead, you were captured after getting brainwashed...” Lin Jie displayed all the evidence he had collected from the various towns and showed them to Mona. The other members took advantage of this time to blast out their attacks!

Every item that was linked to Mona would be able to shake his resolution and increase one second of output time. Of course, all these items must be approved by Ellie before they could be used.

Lin Jie had a total of 76 items on hands, resulting in an extension of 76 seconds!

“Arcane Bullet, Arcane Bullet!” Wantless spread his arms, and countless Arcane Bullets shot out. Ophadi Wantless’ output method was a constant stream of attacks, and he was able to shoot out an Arcane Bullet every 3 seconds. This was the best strategy against Mona in his final stage.

Fat Cattle did not want to lose out as he blasted out fiery hits.

“Ice Control, Ice Crystals Crush!”

An icicle, the height of a man, rose in front of Baili Changcheng, which he sliced open. Instantly, countless ice crystals shot out and landed onto Mona, as countless 1s popped out from above his head.

The rest unleashed all their means and attacked with speed and ferocity.

“Mortal, are you shaking my resolution?” Mona’s health points decreased rapidly and were reaching 5,000 points. Suddenly, Mona’s body shook, and his eyes grew crimson as the praying speed grew by 50%!

“The Boss is mad, full damage output now!” Lin Jie took out [Lien’s present] and utilized it immediately, resulting in an icy aura covering everyone.

[Lien’s Present]: Sweet spring water from the Lien Snowy Mountain. After consumption, all friendly armies would be in the state of ‘Cold Blood’. Attack and Channeling speed will be increased by 20%, and the effect lasts for 20 seconds.

At this rate, Mona would definitely be dead! Lin Jie’s eyes were glued onto Mona, in case anything went wrong.

“He is gonna be dead soon.”

“All the best, guys!”

The corpses lying on the ground joined the team in howling as well.

“Chehheheheheh—” The preacher in the air suddenly laughed out loud as Mona was near the brink of death and an ominous glowing ball was blasted onto Mona. Death Aura exuded out from his eyes as his prayer speed rose by three times, and it was reaching completion.

“Character Card!”

Time for the secret weapon! A haggard old lady appeared in front of Mona, and she muttered, “Son!”

Mona’s vision grew clear. “Mother—”

Slam—

A huge fireball slammed into Mona’s face, depleting his remaining health points!

“Mother, I am sorry...” Tears flowed out of Mona’s eyes as he crumpled and kneeled down.

The old lady cried and hugged her child as she closed his eyes with a shaky hand, “My son, you have wandered around too long in the darkness, may you be at peace after death...”

The old lady looked at Lin Jie. “I hope to bring my son’s body back.”

Upon letting go of the Boss’ corpse, in other words, all the Boss’ equipment would not be exploded out. Mona’s knight long spear was a complete Dark Gold weapon with high stats, it could fetch at least 300 gold coins!

“Let her pass.” Lin Jie moved aside, and Savage Blade’s members took a step back as well.

The old lady held her son’s body shakily and left, her body transformed into a glow and disappeared in the dungeon.

Ding~

—”Your team has completed the hidden mission [Mother’s Repent], you have received 3,000,000 EXP, 30 silver coins, and the mission reward [Heart of Gratitude].”

3,000,000 EXP was enough for both guild leaders, Ghost Eyes and Heaven Plume, who had yet to reach Level 40, to increase a level each. Furthermore, there was an intricate heart-shaped item on everyone’s palm.

[Heart of Gratitude]: Can be fixed to equipment, increasing 100 health points and 100 mana points. The equipment will be converted into a non-explodable and non-tradable item. You can switch the fixture of this item at any time.

—”You have a kind heart, child, bless you.”

“Heal and revive the rest.” Lin Jie glanced at the 3 guild leaders and explained, “Letting the old lady go might cause us to lose some of the loot, but it will be beneficial for us when we fight the next Boss.”

Inksnow understood what Lin Jie meant, he was worried that objections might be sounded from the three guild leaders as he had decided on his own to let the Boss go, in turn losing the victory loot. She laughed and said, “Characters in the game have feelings too, we would have asked you to let him go even if you didn’t plan to. It’s just victory loot, no biggie. Furthermore, this [Heart of Gratitude] is great stuff.”

Who didn’t have a piece of ultra equipment? Once it exploded out, it would cause great losses. Such as the Eighteen Massacres’ Mara Armor, if it had been fixed with the Heart of Gratitude, it wouldn’t have been exploded out by Lin Jie.

Letting the old lady and her son go, would be impactful to the next two... no, next battle.

“Uh... I just remembered, now that the body is gone, what am I searching for?” Zheng Ziliang that had just been revived, was searching around in confusion.

“Crack open Mona’s throne, and the box inside is Mona’s reward,” said Lin Jie.

Zheng Ziliang summoned the Mechanical Gargoyle and crushed the throne. Indeed, there lay an open box within.

If Mona’s body was taken away, the rewards would be spawned out in the chest. Otherwise, it would be spawned out on the corpse.

Once the body was taken away, Mona’s equipment would not explode out. This was the game’s setting.

“Before the corpse search, let’s give out an item.” Lin Jie smiled mysteriously and raised the Savage Horse’s head piece up. He grinned and said, “Let me lay it out clear, the three guild leaders have taken a free ride from my team today. If you guys are interested in this item, you can have it at 300% of the price after our internal distribution.”

Dumb Fox chuckled and said, “Alright, if the mount is good enough, I will instakill. It’s time I get Inksnow a good mount.”

Lin Jie waved his hands and said, “Sister Inksnow has contributed a lot, she shall be included in the internal distribution.”

Dumb Fox’s eyes twinkled as he understood what Lin Jie was driving at. Inksnow grew awkward and said, “It’s okay, count me out of it, hehe.”
