Chapter 291: Midolhaar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Blessings From The Source of Holy Light]: Lasts for 12 hours. You will receive a seed of Holy Light after killing Undead creatures.

The Blessings From The Source of Holy Light was one of the most potent Blessings magics.

After killing Undead monsters, Lin Jie could receive a seed of Holy Light, which was a unique item to help the players restore experience points. The effect of the seed of Holy Light varied with the ability of the user.

The preparations were done! Lin Jie went to the Provisions shop and took a large number of Health Potions, before heading to MI7. Midolhaar Town could not be reached by the teleportation circle, so the players had to pass the test of MI7 before they were allowed to go to this place of death. In other words, all the players who appeared in Midolhaar Town were not ordinary.

At MI7.

“Oh? Did you apply to go to Midolhaar Town? Good! Although Midolhaar Town is the front line of the war, the burial ground, it is also the best training ground for the strong. The Undead, death, fear, and plagues will train your spirit to a tremendous degree of tenacity. Young Warrior, you have to pass the test before going to Midolhaar Town. Still, Warrior Mentor, Reggie, had sent me a message which proved your ability. Hence, you don’t have to go through the test anymore.” The bald MI7 Raid Commander pointed to the coffin-like door of the Dark, and said solemnly, “Enter the door! Fight for the Guild of Light!”

Ding~

—”MI7 Secret Service Captain gave you an additional effect [War Sensitivity], your Critical Strike Chance will get an additional 5% increase at Midolhaar Town.”

The dark space teleportation spiral smiled at Lin Jie like a hungry devil. Without fear, Lin Jie stepped into it. The space spiral of MI7 was much more exquisite than the ordinary teleportation circles. The Space Magic Rune, which contained infinite profound meaning, was revealed.

If a third-turned Grand Mage was there, he could even comprehend Legendary through observing the Space Runes. Unfortunately, Lin Jie was a Warrior who knew nothing about these mysterious things. In only three seconds, the space fluctuations slowed down.

Lin Jie took a step forward. One, two, three! The soil under his feet became moist and putrid, giving off a disgusting odor. This was the mixed smell of blood, sweat, and corpses. It was so intense that Lin Jie almost fainted! One could imagine how terrible the environment was for Warriors to fight on this map!

Map: The front line of war: Midolhaar!

The moment Lin Jie stepped out of the teleportation circle, hundreds of arrows shot at him. The arrows were like revolving thunderbolts, which cut the air open. If they were drilled into the chest, they would not only cause significant damage with Armor Ignore but also tear the muscles, causing a terrible bleeding effect. This was a Black-Bone Arrow that only an Undead Hunter could use!

“Enchanted Scaly Armor!”

Midolhaar was the place where Lin Jie had risen in his previous life. He knew every piece of the land here, and naturally, he was very familiar with the attacking means of the Undead as well. As Midolhaar Town was in a state of war all year round, the supplies to the soldiers had become particularly important. At every moment, the Guild of Light or the Undead would send a large number of people to the station at the teleportation circle. Once the enemies were found, they would immediately attack and kill them.

“Our soldier appeared! Paladin and Paladin go to his aid! Warriors, attack!” At the Raid Commander’s order, several rays of Holy Light appeared immediately, but the enemies’ attack had also arrived! More than 40 Bone Arrows pierced Lin Jie, and collision sounds echoed.

-19!

-16!

…

+1,200!

Lin Jie drank a Health Potion and glanced the enemies using the Dwarvish Identify Skill!

[Midolhaar Undead Hunter] (Enhanced Elite)

Level: 43

HP: 34,000

Attack: 654-836

Defense: 120

Additional effect: The Undead Hunter can shoot destructive Black-Bone Arrows, remember to protect your armor!

“Warrior, come over now!” The Raid Commander was overjoyed to see Lin Jie blocking the attack. He arranged for a path and signaled Lin Jie to hurry up. Unexpectedly, the corner of Lin Jie’s mouth curled up, and his eyes rolled around this group of Undead Hunters.

The leader could only order his soldiers under his territory. Even though Lin Jie was the Patrol Leader and a Viscount of City of Light, these titles were useless in Midolhaar Town. He had to start as a low-rank soldier, farm all kinds of materials, bury corpses and assist the NPCs in order to gradually raise to a higher rank, and be able to go into the battle and fight the enemies. If he ran around without permission, he would be punished according to military regulations!

Usually, the players would need nearly a month’s accumulation to qualify for exploring around. However, Lin Jie did not have the time.

As long as he killed this group of Undead Hunters, he would be able to prove his ability! Lin Jie moved and disappeared in a flash, rushing towards the army of the Undead Hunters like a bolt of black lightning. The arrows shot on the scaly armor tore off a layer of indestructible Enchanted Scaly Armor, and the broken scales fell everywhere. The power of the Undead Hunters’ attack was too strong!

“Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner! Army Obliteration!”

Lin Jie did not show mercy at all. With the fierce Blade Aura of the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, he dashed into the Hunters’ team and attacked horizontally. Dozens of zigzag ripples appeared in the air, which was the trace cut out by the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!

The Raid Commander was shocked. “Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner! This is Wind Rider Sword Saint’s evolutionary skill of [Blade Aura Executioner], which only the Wind Rider Sword Saint can learn. How can he… He can’t be the heir of the Wind Rider Sword Saint, can he?”

“Whirlwind!”

Both Thunderbolt Sword and Broken Blade fell into his hands at the same time as Lin Jie rushed into the enemy’s encirclement. With two weapons crossed, the swords whistled, and all the Undead were injured!

-384!-372!-381!

…

The damage values jumped up. Although Whirlwind’s basic damage was not high, its frequency was very high, and it was an important AOE skill for the Berserker. With every two attacks, Whirlwind was unleashed, forcing the Undead Hunters to draw back.

Long-range jobs would lose most of their fighting powers when they were attacked in a close range. Lin Jie was like a tiger dashing into a flock of sheep—he pounced at them swiftly and attacked incisively.

Kacha—

A well-dressed Skeleton Raid Commander appeared among the Undead. It had no rotten flesh on its body, and its bones were shining with luster, which was prettier than a diamond as if they were polished.

[Midolhaar Undead Raid Commander] (Enhanced Elite)

Level: 45

HP: 12,000

Attack: 200-300

Defense: 450

Additional effect: Flog of The Dead! Any Undead will obey the Raid Commander’s orders. The most frightening thing about them is not their fighting power, but their intelligence, which is not inferior to that of humans.

The reason why the army of the Undead was frightening was that they were unafraid of death. As the price of possessing immortality, the IQ of the Undead was generally not high. Hence, the intelligent Raid Commanders appeared. They studied Magic, Arcane, and Divine spells, which allowed them to retain their ability to think after they died. Such Undead would become Raid Commanders and command the Undead.

The Undead Raid Commander opened its hands, and the [Halo of Addiction] appeared under its feet. It would give a 15% increase in any Undead’s attributes when attacking any living creature.

“It finally appeared! My promotion qualification!” Lin Jie’s mouth curled up, and he activated Hunter’s Forward Charge and Wild Charge! His quick Movement Speed allowed him to avoid numerous arrows, and he arrived in front of the Undead Raid Commander in the twinkling of an eye.

“Woo—”

The Undead Raid Commander gave a ghostly cry. Gray osseocolla permeated out of the armor surface and wrapped itself airtight. It waved its right hand, and all the Undead Hunters aimed at Lin Jie and attacked him with whistling Black-Bone Arrows!

Armor Removal!

Lin Jie ripped apart the Bone Armor, which the Raid Commander depended on, and its defense dropped by 70%! The most disgusting part of the Undead Raid Commander was its strong, iron-plate-like defense. It only needed to enhance its defensive capabilities and command the Undead to kill the target. But its armor was torn apart instantly when Lin Jie appeared in front of it. The moment it was stunned, Broken Blade had pierced down!

Shield Cut!

-1,738! (Critical Hit)

Army Obliteration!

-658! -627! -1,384! -1,264!

Half of the Undead Raid Commander’s health points were gone!

Lin Jie jumped up high, and under his feet, arrows shot like a locust swarm. With a fierce aura, Lin Jie held up Broken Blade and attacked the Raid Commander again. Broken Blade hurled out rays of blood-red light—it was the Blood Light Multi-Slash!

Kacha—

The Undead Raid Commander’s body was immediately split into two halves! Its skull was cut off, becoming Lin Jie’s promotion qualification!

On the side of the Guild of Light, the Raid Commander rose abruptly and shouted, “The Undead Raid Commander is dead, and this group of Undead has lost the ability to revive unlimitedly. Go and kill them all!”

Kaboom—

Their footsteps were like thunder, and in a short time, the Paladin army killed all the Undead.

Ding~

—”The Guild of Light snatched the teleportation station at Midolhaar Town, and its forces are allowed to teleport safely.”

Lin Jie held the head of the Undead Raid Commander in his right hand, and in his left palm, there was a pea-sized seed of Holy Light. This was the seed of Holy Light, which was given after killing the Undead.

[Seed of Holy Light]: Can only be used with the Blessings From The Source of Holy Light. It helps you restore 200 HP and gives you a Surround of Holy Light effect.

As soon as he swallowed the Seed of Holy Light, Lin Jie restored 200 HP. Meanwhile, a light like the Holy Light surrounded his chest and shone him like a moving street lamp.

[Surround of Holy Light]: Gain an increase in 1% Attack.

Surround of Holy Light could increase a random attribute by 1%, and this effect could be stacked. It looked wonderful, but the actual effect was not as good because it could be added to the attributes which Lin Jie did not need, such as Spirit, Wisdom, Mana, and Elemental Magic Resistance.

However, it looked shiny and more eye-catching than a light bulb, and he was sure that the Undead would be very interested in him with the Surround of Holy Light. Lin Jie nodded satisfactorily. The more the Undead, the faster he could kill them, and the more he could earn!

“Recruit!” The commander of the Guild of Light, who was in charge of the defense of the teleportation circle, said solemnly, “Who gave you the power to attack on your own? Do you know how dangerous your action was? The Undead Raid Commander is the brain of the Undead Army, and if you failed, you’d be killed indefinitely and cause great losses.”

Lin Jie grinned and shook the skeleton’s head in his hand. “But the outcome is good, isn’t it?”

The commander took a closer look at Lin Jie and laughed. “That’s right! The battlefield needs rules but also needs flexibility. You’ve done a good job! The Grand Commander of the guild must be more than willing to meet you. It’s absolutely a waste of power for such a strong human to deal with all those miscellaneous matters. Come back and report with me. Don’t forget to bring this disgusting skeleton head with you. Grind it into Bone Dust and augment it on the Bone Membrane Armors of the soldiers. It will greatly enhance the soldiers’ combat ability! I believe that the commander will be happy to reward you.”
