Chapter 151: Mana Explosion!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Boss’ Felguard lasted for three hours, it was impossible even if they wanted to try fighting the Boss again. The battling strength of the Hellfire and Felguard was way too strong.

“Steel Alliance has started to upload their video.” Netherblue clicked open the virtual page, she smiled and said, “A gambling forum has been set up, our odds are only 0.1.”

Lin Jie chuckled, in his previous life, he was always the one holding the gold coins in his hand making bets full of confidence. Who knew a time would come where he would be bet on.

These gambling forums used the forum coins in the beginning, just to provide enjoyment for the players, but as time passed and under the manipulation of people with intentions, it was gradually contracted by them and became a regular “Betting” organization. Any bets regarding competitions or clearing of dungeons all had the shadows of the gambling forum.

What was worth mentioning was the teams that the gambling forum included were teams that had the ability to clear the dungeon. Of course, Ironwall Empire was also one of the teams included. The Heavenly Shield had saved up quite a lot of Light points under the instructions of Lin Jie and thus belonged to one of the first batches of teams to enter the dungeon. Also, they were very clever to avoid the Main Plot dungeons, raising their levels and equipment in normal dungeons.

When everyone had paid attention to them, then they realized that under the long time that Ironwall Empire had been developing under a low profile, they actually almost recovered their strength from before.

Whereas Steel Alliance, after gathering elites, their progress increased greatly at once, they had already entered the third area, Explosion Region. Their method was largely identical to Eighteen Massacres – first, kill the monsters, then kill the Boss – just their speed was slower only.

After knowing Savage Blade had cleared the third boss, it was impossible for them not to be anxious. However, as time passed by seconds and minutes, there was no message of them clearing the Belief Church. It was then this group of leaders that allied with each other heaved a sigh of relief. They then continued clearing the dungeon in composure.

As the initiator of the organization, Dumb Fox cleverly made public the video direct;y, he wanted to forcibly make the three guilds be on the same boat.

To that, Heaven Plume and Ghost Eyes could only let out a bitter laughter. They could only be compelled to fight with Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, Dark-Robed Knights relied on Eighteen Massacres’ powerful tanking abilities. They succeeded in clearing all the Elves after being wiped out five consecutive times and started attacking the Boss. The battling power of Light Ancient Tree that did not have its Elves were basically zero, so its health bar gradually decreased.

After two hours, Dark-Robed Knights successfully killed Light Ancient Tree and entered the Belief Region.

After Eighteen Massacres had tried out the Boss’ skills, he cleverly chose to retreat and started to adjust the team. The Mages in the team were all changed, and many Spellcasters of Curse joined the team instead.

Spellcaster of Curse was quite a rare branch out from Spellcaster. Same as the Priest, this job totally relied on teammates to level up. Priests still could regen health for teammates, but Spellcaster of Curse did not even have one useful skill before level 15, purely just feeding on the experience.

However, at the later game, Spellcaster of Curse became an absolutely necessary job.

A Spellcaster of Curse could learn Armor Corruption and Mana Defense Corruption. Giving the Spellcaster of Curse some time, both of the Boss’ armor and mana defense would decrease by around 30%.

Whereas now, the Spellcaster of Curse only had one skill: Mana Absorption, commonly known as “Mana Explosion”,

Mana Explosion: Spending 100 points of mana allows one to explode off the 60 points of mana from the opponent.

The only advantage of this skill was that there was no aggro. In other words, they would not enter battle mode.

“Mage Heavens!” When Lin Jie saw the large numbers of Spellcasters of Curse in the video, his pupils suddenly constricted.

That’s right, those Spellcasters of Curse belonged to Mage Heavens!

In Lin Jie’s previous life, Mage Heavens was the most famous organization among the three alliances, they were comparable to the Mages’ sanctuary “Winter Castle”! In the later game, Mage Heavens’ guild leader even had a Legendary Arch Mage as his follower, specializing in teaching guild members magic!

What Mage Heavens was most famous for was not Mages, but all kinds of strange magical jobs such as Spellcaster of Curse, Shadow Priest, Magical Bandit and so on.

‘The three alliances have gathered?’ Lin Jie looked at Baili Changcheng with a puzzled face. ‘No, in my previous life, weren’t the three alliances Baili Changcheng’s subordinates?’How come he seems as if he knows nothing about it?’

Lin Jie probed, “Baili, are these people your uncle’s men?”

Baili Changcheng took a look solemnly and then waved his hand, smiling as he said, “Bullsh*t! That stubborn old guy can train so many Spellcasters of Curse? I reckon he’s still leveling up at some novice village.”

“But, these people are Mage Heavens’ men.” Lin Jie eyes gleamed, focused on sizing up Baili Changcheng. His voice turned even more solemn. “You don’t know?”

Baili Changcheng replied in a serious tone, “I didn’t know that.”

“My uncle is a stubborn old person, he was determined in rejecting the investment of resources in real life into to the game and because of that matter, who knows how many times the directors of the Board of Directors quarreled,” said Baili Changcheng. “But, he is a very successful businessman, a businessman that resorts to every expedient. On the contrary, I don’t feel anything strange about it when he entered the game.”

“When I was young, I followed him for a period of time, all along he only taught me one thing—’in the face of profit, use all means within your power’! Maybe he thought highly of the benefits that could be obtained and entered the game, but it is impossible for him to create such a large team.”

“Unless...” Baili Changcheng frowned...

Lin Jie thought for a long time. ‘So that means maybe the three alliances did not cooperate because of Baili Changcheng? However, how did such a huge amount of assets and powerful alliance got transferred under his name?’

“Heavens, they...” Netherblue looked at the video, her face turned pale from the shock.

Fourteen Spellcaster of Curse surrounded the Boss, their palms drew a deep blue silk thread, absorbing the Boss’ mana. After about one minute, the Boss’ mana bar dropped to 1%!

“If this continues, the Boss’ mana will be sucked dry!”

“Suck the last Boss’ mana until it becomes unable to use any skills? That’s too ruthless, right?”

“It’s not that simple,” said Domestic Fat Cattle in a serious manner. “The Boss herself has a mana recovery mechanism, their gain from Mana Explosion is halved. Even if they exploded all the mana, they would need at least three to four hours. Also, the Boss definitely has a second stage, or else it would be too simple.”

After three hours, the Spellcasters of Curse successfully exploded over half of the Boss’ mana. At the same time, Steel Alliance also cleared Light Ancient Tree, starting to enter the Belief Region.

“Many are questioning us on the forum as to why we do not have videos,” said Netherblue.

Within the gambling forum, the only one that did not have videos was Brotherhood’s Savage Blade, which made many players feel displeased: You are leading by so much, but you don’t dare to even make public, is there something fishy going on?

Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “I just don’t want to make it public. If they’re unhappy about it, let them bite me if they can.”

Everyone. “...”

“It’s nighttime already,” reminded Bu Yi.

Lin Jie stood up, smiled, and said, “Brothers, it’s time to start work.”

“What do you want to do?” asked Netherblue.

Lin Jie smiled and took out the Orb of Deception. The light enveloped him, and then he gradually turned into a decadent Paladin.

With a body of broken armor, he slightly hunched his back. His pale blue eyes betrayed that he had been through the mill and had experienced bitter hardships which made one sigh. That was the Knight leader Renault.

“At this time, most likely the Boss is already asleep. Old Mai, Bu Yi, throw me a few Holy Light, try to make the scenery as dreamy as possible. Night, Fat Cattle, Baili, the three of you come to help me...”

————

“Renault, in the days you were asleep, I have been praying to the Devils every day, praying that they wipe away our conscience and emotions, letting you return from hell. I am willing to give up everything, just for your companion...” Grace half-knelt in front of the Devil’s Statue, murmuring her wish in her dreams.

Priestess’ revealing clothes worn for worshipping gave her an unearthly feel, as though the Moon God’s worshipper, so pure one could only appreciate distantly but not touched blasphemously.

Renault was the betrayer of the Holy Light, Holy Light would not help him, the only way to save him was to seek help from other powers—for example devils.

“Grace.” A low and deep voice could suddenly be heard from behind. The Priestess opened her eyes hazily, looking at the Paladin in front of her, a tear could not help but drop from her eyes.

‘He is back... No, he hasn’t returned.’ The rays of light behind him were like Holy Light, real yet illusory, just like in a dream.

“Am I... Dreaming?” Grace mumbled.

Currently, Bu Yi and Old Mai were trying their best to scatter the Holy Light gathered all around, illuminating the Belief Region to be holy and beautiful.

Lin Jie took a step and flowers made of ice crystal bloomed on the ground, holy and gorgeous.

Just like this, flowers blossomed with each step. Lin Jie moved closer to Grace and grabbed her tender hands, gently caressing her face.

“Let me listen to your voice, Renault...” Grace’s voice trembled. She believed she was dreaming, but she still wanted to hear the voice of her beloved.

Lin Jie smiled, his brooding stubble brought about a charming smile, but he did not make a sound.

That was an enhanced Overlord! The ultimate Boss of the Main Plot dungeon! The Orb of Deception could be seen through very easily.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had seen Grace and Renault’s story. He knew that Renault had captured Grace’s heart in an Elemental Forest of Elves. Lin Jie took advantage of when she was dazed from sleeping and missed Renault the most. He tried his best to imitate the scenery from then, so his disguise was not seen through at first sight.

Holding Grace’s hand, Lin Jie walked in front by two steps, the ice crystal flowers on the ground bloomed even more beautifully.

“This is so freaking tired, I’m going to die from exhaustion, we can’t stop at all!” Baili Changcheng and Dejected Night were drenched in cold sweat, gathering ice flowers, the quantity of work was relatively much! Not only did they need to draw the shape of the ice crystal flowers, but they also had to use magic carefully, it’s shortening their lives.

Grace’s eyes were hazy, she was pulled by Lin Jie and squatted down at a place with the greatest number of ice crystal flowers. Lin Jie did a hand gesture like he was doing magic tricks, he held an ice crystal flower with both hands and snapped his fingers.

BOOM!

Flames bloomed like fireworks, the bit of fire spark dripped on top of the ice crystal flower. The flower gradually opened up, turning into a drop of crystal clear water.

Lin Jie assumed a pose of pointing at the water droplet, then it actually followed his finger and flew up, it spun around Grace once and then spun around himself another time. When it flew behind him, Lin Jie bent his finger, and the Mana Destruction Potion fell into his hands, entering the water droplet.

The water droplet formed a crystal clear ball of water and was sent in front of Grace’s mouth.

Grace smiled slightly, then she pushed the ball of water in front of Lin Jie. She pointed at his lips then to her own, her lips gradually pouted...

Lin Jie’s heart thumped... ‘O-OMG, this is, she wants me to use my mouth to feed her?’
