Chapter 274: Sub-Legendary Pirate King Simon!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Simon!”
This pirate was actually the leader of all the Simon Pirates, a Sub-Legendary character—the Pirate King Simon?! He had actually come personally to oversee this transaction?!
Seeing that things didn’t seem to turn out well, Lin Jie immediately dived into the sea. The moment Lin Jie jumped down from the ship, numerous bullets shot by his back and loud explosion sounds were heard, sending shivers down his spine.
Splash—
Lin Jie hid underwater, and he felt as if his heart was jumping out of his throat. He did not expect to see the Pirate King Simon here—he had always thought that the person who was talking to Baizhan Yusheng was Simon’s substitute.
With this Sub-Legendary character, it would be extremely difficult to save the slaves! An idea flashed past Lin Jie’s mind—maybe he should at least save Tamora’s elder sister...
‘Wait a sec! Tamora? Where is she?’
Lin Jie’s heart rolled over when he peeked up from underwater. Tamora was being caught by Simon, and she was struggling against his grasp in midair! Her slender throat was almost being crushed up by Simon. Numerous damage figures of more than 1,000 points appeared above her head.
Simon yelled, “Slaves, come over now! If not, you will all die!”
“Sister!”
At this moment, a female Druid with dark greenish hair stretched out her hands in horror, as she watched and shouted from one corner of the Flying-Wing Cargo Ship, “Don’t kill my sister!”
Simon curled up his lips coldly. Gripping tightly onto Tamora’s throat, he faced this Druid’s direction, and with a powerful squeeze in his right hand—kacha! Tamora’s throat was crushed, and her body went limp.
Instakill!
Such a cruel Boss!
Lin Jie took a deep breath as he focused his attention upon the Druid. Judging by their conversation, this person would definitely be Tamora’s elder sister, the Great Arcane Druid!
Out of the 1,000 slaves present, Simon had shot 100 to their deaths in one go. The rest of them simply lost all will to fight on. They huddled together on the ship deck, waiting numbly for their turn to be carried over to the pirate ship.
The Great Druid’s face was full of tears. Step by step, she trod revengefully towards Simon, her eyes brimming of anger and hatred.
At the same time, Lin Jie, who was hiding below the water, got into Enraged mode. He activated Flame Boost, and a shot of flames blasted through the water, breaking the wooden link bridge between the two ships! The Great Druid fell into the sea. The moment she got rid of the ropes that bound her, she transformed into a dolphin. Her actions were much smoother than her sister’s!
“Human being from the alternate realms? I need your help! I will give you handsome rewards!” said the Great Druid without any hesitation.
“Do your best to attract the pirates’ attention, and I will go save the rest!”
Her words were exactly the same as Lin Jie’s previous plan, which he had shared with Tamora. Lin Jie’s heart ached when he was reminded of how Tamora was killed. He commented grimly, “Do you have the ability to do so? Please don’t end up like your younger sister...”
“Sh*t up, I can do this!” cried the Great Druid.
Lin Jie gritted his teeth. If he hesitated anymore, the transaction would be completed soon! Who would dare to pursue Simon, when he left the place with his pirate underlings?
‘Oh, to h*ll with it!’
With a flip of his hand, all of the Illusionary Bullets appeared on his palm. Lin Jie threw them up from underwater—but the moment the bullets broke through the sea’s surface, the alerted pirates noticed them and were blasting attacks towards their hiding spot!
Boom—
The Illusionary Bullets exploded suddenly, and the huge impact made the pirate ship shook. Lin Jie made use of this opportunity to get out of the sea and rushed to the Flying-Wing Cargo Ship. He already had a plan in mind: kill all the Baili family’s players, then use the Legendary skill Illusionary Trace to hide the ship and steer it away!
A player could not take control over another player’s ship forever, but this would buy them enough time to rescue the captured Night Elf slaves!
Yet, it seemed like his opponents were prepared this time round!
Whoosh—
10 Fire Arrows penetrated through the smoke, and the fogged surroundings were cleared. Lin Jie’s figure was gradually shown amidst the bright flames!
Donning black mail, carrying Broken Blade, walking around in heavy boots and covering his face with the signature Lone Wolf Helmet—this was the scariest figure in the worst nightmares of all the Baili family’s players!
“Oh, I was thinking who’s this person. So it’s you.”
Baizhan Yusheng stood in front of the other players and looked like an iron wall himself. He smiled and said, “Such a long time since we last met, Leader Lone Wolf. I let you off last time—but you won’t be that lucky this time round.”
Lin Jie raised up Broken Blade, and retorted coldly, “Well, if you release those slaves, I can consider letting you off for once too.”
“Hahaha, interesting. I am waiting for this! However, I cannot keep to the rules of individual combating this time round, since it involves an important transaction, so—ATTACK!” With a wave of Baizhan Yusheng’s hands, eight Protection Paladins, who carried massive shields, appeared and activated Forward Sprint while standing side by side in a row!
Behind Baizhan Yusheng, 13 Mages and Hunters were already prepared for battle, and they were all set to start their massacre harvest. The Priests and rest of the players with other jobs seemed like standing carelessly behind this group of people, but in actual fact, they were making full use of the space and enlarging the Baili family’s attack scope!
“Who?”
Simon’s voice was heard.
Baizhan Yusheng dug his nose and commented, “It’s a trivial matter. You guys continue carrying the slaves over, leave this matter to me.”
A snort was heard from the pirate ship’s direction, but one could hear that the speed at which the slaves were being carried over had become faster.
“Paladins, attack!”
Baizhan Yusheng knew very well how intimidating Lin Jie’s sudden explosion of strength was, and hence had strategically selected Paladins to begin the battle with their Forward Charge skill. With the obstruction by the Paladins’ Divine Shield skills, he thought that they could resist Lin Jie’s powerful damage output!
Hunter’s Forward Charge!
Lin Jie changed positions, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of one Paladin. Broken Blade slashed down with a cold flash of light.
The Paladin was also used to battle. He did not panic as he raised his shield to counter the attack.
-650!
“Kudos to Lone Wolf. My Defense is as high as 490 points, and you can still deal out such damage on me.” The Paladin chuckled merrily. A Priest immediately made his health bar full again.
Lin Jie let out a cold laugh, and golden sparks enshrouded Broken Blade’s surface.
Shield Cut!
“Heh!” The Paladin was prepared for this, and he activated Divine Shield!
Broken Blade was like a sword which pierced through a water surface forcefully and silently, leaving no trace at all as it passed through the Divine Shield, striking out at the Paladin’s neck!
-1,593!
“You...” The Paladin was about to speak when he realized Lin Jie’s gun muzzle was already pointing straight at his chest.
Lin Jie held onto the Silent Killer, grinned, and said, “Go to h*ll.”
Dragon Breath bullet!
-293! -304! -317! -296! -315!
“You... what the... Don’t you use swords?” As the Paladin fell down to his death, he uttered this last sentence, wide-eyed with an unredressed grudge.
Lin Jie pursed his lips and answered, “Well, look at the times we are in now! Swords have already grown out of fashion.”
Silent Killer finally tasted blood after so long. After killing this paladin, the bullets from Silent Killer shot out and exploded mercilessly at the surrounding Paladins’ heads, totally bypassing the ‘absolute’ defense effect of the Divine Shield skill.
As for the Paladins’ attacks... Well, attacks by Protection Paladins were always very lousy. In any case, how could their attacks ever hurt Lin Jie, who possessed Dark Gold Armor made of Sub-Legendary fragments?
-5!
-10!
-7!
-1!
...
Lin Jie couldn’t hold back his smile, especially when he saw that there’s actually a one-point compulsory Damage Dealt!
Yet, Silent Killer’s sudden explosion of strength was never that high to begin with. With the Priests healing the health bars for those at the front line, there was no chance of killing them! Lin Jie turned to look at them—he had to kill the Priests first!
Baizhan Yusheng’s pupils constricted, and he yelled, “Protect the healing jobs! Mages, activate Ice Ring!”
Numerous Ice Ring spells descended upon Lin Jie. Ice Ring was an Ice Mage’s signature skill, and it could freeze its target, preventing all movements. At the same time, it could be superimposed with the subsequent Ice-type Mana attacks.
The corners of Lin Jie’s lips curved up. “Do you think you can control me with these?”
Zeng—
Lifting his right leg, the ice blocks burst opened immediately. In fact, Lin Jie’s movements became even faster after he broke free, and no one else could catch sight of him! This was the counter-effect skill—Against the Wind! When the owner of this skill was restricted in Movement Speed by the opponent’s skill, that affecting skill would be ignored once this skill was activated. Meanwhile, all the slowing effects would be changed into a buff for the owner, thereby boosting his subsequent Movement Speed accordingly.
“Intervene!” With a loud yell from Baizhan Yusheng, he blocked Lin Jie in his path.
“Lone Wolf, let me see how much you have improved after such a long while! My Defense is 850 points. Even if you can ignore 50% of that, I still have as high as 400 Defense points—how high can your attacks reach? Show it to me!”
Shield Increase! Bull Power! Protective Roar!
Baizhan Yusheng’s Defense capabilities were even more intimidating when he activated all of his skills!
A cold light flashed past Lin Jie’s eyes. Indeed, even when he was equipped with the Blasphemer’s Necklace, his attack power would not be able to counter 850 Defense points. If he used Normal attacks, he could only cause Damage Dealt of at most 100 points. Even if a Critical Hit occurred, he wouldn’t be able to cause a life-threatening strike!
‘However... do you think you can really block my advances?’
“Flame Boost, Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, Thunder Descent!” Broken Blade blazed with fiery blade auras, and Lin Jie’s armor was covered with purplish lightning. When Broken Blade was slashed down upon Baizhan Yusheng, it was as if there was a whip made of thunder and fire coming down on him!
Shield Cut!
At the same time, golden sparks enshrouded Broken Blade, and it struck Baizhan Yusheng’s shield.
-500!
“Hahaha, it looks like your Attack is still not powerful enough!” Baizhan Yusheng forced out a laugh through gritted teeth. His wrists hurt—how could he not sense that Lin Jie had struck his shield on purpose? Without his shield to fend off this move, this attack would most probably have emptied half of his health bar!
Lin Jie put on a peculiar smile, and commented nonchalantly, “Is it?”
Sparks from the Shield Cut skill penetrated through Baizhan Yusheng’s shield and landed upon the Priests group behind them. Lightning flashed, flames blazed on, and blade auras shot around!
-1,029!
-1,025!
...
Waves of Damage Dealt with more than 1,000 plus points jumped up. Given the Priests’ weak health bars, most of them had maximally just 1,500 health points. With this attack, almost all of their health bars were decreased to near zero!
“You...” Baizhan Yusheng’s pupils constricted. He finally realized how scary this person who stood in front of him was!
A devilish-like smile was plastered on Lin Jie’s face. With another seemingly light slash of his sword upon Baizhan Yusheng’s shield, waves of blade auras shot out like great serpents again at the Priests group, giving yet another drastic blow to them!
“Ice Ring!”
The Priests’ group was almost all killed. At this moment, the Mages who finally recovered from the cooldown period of their own skills finally found some chance to launch attacks again. They threw numerous Mana spells on Lin Jie immediately!
The Kiara Beast King Armor emitted bright sparks, and the enchanted gem, which was carved into the middle of the armor, glowed all the more brightly. Mana attacks were never Lin Jie’s weak spot, now that he had the whole of the Kiara Beast King Enchanted Gem!
“It’s your turn now,” scoffed Lin Jie. He stayed put, but the sounds of bullets being loaded into the Silent Killer’s hungry gun vessel were being heard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
-539! -555! -572!
Three bullets shot into one of the Mages’ chest accurately. The huge impact threw him over the ship deck, and he fell into the sea. A silver piece of equipment was spawned. It’s such a pity that the equipment was being engulfed by the deep sea—it seemed like there was no chance of finding it again, ever.
The rest of the two bullets didn’t even cause any damage figures, because that Mage had already fallen into the sea.
“Kill him, kill him!”
The Baili family’s players were all desperate now. They felt like they were facing a giant who could not be defeated—he was still loading bullets leisurely with a smooth expression, aiming his gun at them while another of their comrades’ life was already being taken away.
Meanwhile, all the attacks they dealt upon this person seemed like nothing—they didn’t even see a decrease in his health bar!
“This fellow, is he... is he the God of War?” One Hunter stared dumbfoundedly at his arrow, which caused only a compulsory ‘1’ point damage, while his chest was being penetrated by the bullets shot out from Silent Killer.
At this moment, a deafening shout was heard from within the ship’s cabin—
“Simon! We shall stop this transaction if you continue to wash your hands off the situation on board!”
This voice—it belonged to Baili Xuanyuan!
