Chapter 304: Blood Wizard Larek

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Blood Wizard Larek was the creator of Blood Swamp. The reason for his evil deeds was unbelievable! He couldn’t stand the impurity of the human body, so he had used his authority as a Sub-Legendary Mage and the owner of Sunshine City to steal a “Singing Bible” from the Holy Church. Then, he had passed it to the Dark Shrine in order to become a wizard. After being modified by the Dark Shrine, the book that had been worshipped by everyone had been converted into a “Dark Bible” that could be used to control the dead!

Larek had become one of the important Wizards in the Dark Shrine and controlled Blood Swamp. He was in charge of the Elven Guardians, and each had the ability of a Boss! After entering the floating city, players would be tortured severely by them if they did not find Larek fast enough. After wasting 2 or 3 days and an astronomical amount of supplies to fight the Guardians, most of the team would be worn out badly unless they came over-prepared. This was when Blood Wizard Larek would appear and give them the final blow.

To make matters worse, whenever the players exited the map, the Guardians would be revived, and they had to go through everything again… After some time, the level of the wizard would grow as he killed more players.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, Blood Wizard Larek had been ranked the 9th in the Boss Leaderboard. Many teams had regretted not managing to kill it on the first try and giving it a chance to grow.

Wantless looked at the documents in his hands and said, “Blood Wizard Larek has three known skills. Probably more after it enters Enrage mode.”

Lin Jie shook his head and said, “Nah, the skills will not change. We stick to the plan.”

Unlike other Bosses, Blood Wizard Larek only had one fighting pattern. He did not even have any variance in skills. That was one of his traits.

[Blood Wizard • Larek] (Dark Gold Lord)

Level: 45

Health Points: ???

Magic Attack: 959-1,364

Defense: 400

Additional effect: Blood Armor (Inactive), Death Rage (Inactive), Dead Curse (Inactive), Dark Hell (Inactive)

Note: He is the Commander of Blood Swamp and the strongest wizard in Dark Shrine. Larek can cause terrible plagues. Killing him will not be easy.

“These are the Boss’ attributes?” Wantless used about 20 Inspect spells, but all he got was a bunch of ???. He started to admire Lin Jie’s Inspect spell. The most crucial thing in killing a Boss was to know its stats! Unlike novels or dramas, seldom would there be people that could win a war without knowing what was ahead of them.

Lin Jie nodded and deactivated his Dwarvish Identify Skill. He said, “There are dozens of inactive buffs…”

“So just like other Bosses, it will trigger them at lower HP?” asked Wantless. “One buff will be triggered with every 10% loss of HP.”

“Nope, the buffs are triggered in a special way.”

“Special way?”

Pretending to cast a few more Dwarvish Identify Skills, Lin Jie said, “Simply put, they activate under specific circumstances. Similar to our Blood Power, it automatically triggers when the health is below a certain level.” He continued pretending and showed ‘surprised’ while reading off the contents. “Blood Armor is activated by a physical hit that increases defense by 1 per second. Death Curse, the activation condition is that the Boss successfully hits the target, and the effect is Life-Steal, Confusion, Silence, and other abnormal states one of…”

Wantless was more shocked than ever.

Firstly, it was because of the condition of the buffs.

Secondly, it was due to how powerful Lin Jie’s Inspect was.

The use of Inspect was for players to know the stats of monsters. It allowed players to pick suitable monsters for leveling up and determined if they could beat certain Bosses. The way Lin Jie was able to have such detailed information was terrifying.

“So, the plan is more or less settled.” Lin Jie snapped his fingers and said, “In order to maintain our damage, Blood Armor and Dark Eyes will be triggered for sure. As for the rest, we will try not to trigger them.”

Wantless revealed a serious expression. It was much more difficult than it sounded.

Lin Jie smiled. “Chill, even if you trigger some of them, I can still manage.”

“LOL, don’t get cocky.” Wantless held his wand tightly and yelled, “Get ready! You’ll be the tank. Arcane Imitation! Power Word Shield! Power Word Toughen!”

Swoosh!

Two imitated Holy Light fell on Lin Jie.

Power Word Shield: 170 Damage Absorption.

Power Word Toughen: Max HP increase by 50.

“Pathetic…” Lin Jie complained silently, but Wantless still heard him.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie charged forward like a shadow, and soon, the Boss was in his attack range.

Shield Cut! Army Obliteration!

-401!-417!-800!-395!

-1,203!

Blood Wizard had extremely high defense. As a Dark Gold Lord, he possessed both level and grade suppression. The Damage Dealt by Lin Jie was much lesser.

“O’ You filthy creature. Your body, your soul… I despise them.” Blood Wizard clapped his hand, and a blood-stream wave was formed.

Blood Hell!

Blood covered the ground in a fan-shaped pattern. The smell of blood was everywhere. Anyone who stood in the Blood Hell would receive 500 damage every second and be debuffed with Blood Toxin. Undead creatures in the region would get a 50% attributes increase. It was one of the skills that killed most players.

The three skills were: Blood Hell, Revive, Plague!

The three skills complemented each other and formed a chain of skills. When Blood Hell was released more than five times, and the Boss had lost more than 10% of his health, he would release Revive, which would use all the Blood Hell and summon 3 to 5 Undeads that were “dead” in Blood Swamp. The attributes of the Undead were the same.

When all the Undead were cleared, Plague would be activated. When the Boss lost half of his life, the target would be cast either an Instant Death Plague or Death PLague. The former one was instant death, and the latter was lethal after 10 seconds!

In order to kill the wizard, an upgraded Bone Membrane Armor was a must! This was the only way to prevent instant death.

“Back!”

Lin Jie leaped and avoided the spell easily. Since he was close to the Boss, he did not have to move much. Wantless used Flash and avoided the skill too.

“Attack! Let the Boss use Revive before the Blood Hell is formed!” yelled Lin Jie. The Blood Hell could last for 20 minutes, and the entire ground would be covered in it in less than 5 minutes. After that, it would be a lost battle for them!

Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!

Lin Jie’s Broken Blade hit the wizard’s heart and dealt 785 damage. Wantless took out a bottle of Element Volatile Potion and caused his Magic Attack to vary from 95% to 11%. The potion was purchased from Sky Provisions’ Shop.

Arcane Bullet!

-126!-127!

…

Arcane Bullet!

-125!

…

“Collect Arcane Energy!” Wantless used 5 Arcane Bullets, creating a pool of energy in his hand, and shot it out like a cannon.

-2,000!

Wantless did not want to hide his strength anymore.

Arcane Energy was like a Berserker’s Combo Attack. One layer of Arcane Energy could be stacked if the skills hit the target twice in a row. It could be stacked up to 10.

However, Arcane Energy had a huge recoil, like a machine gun. Wantless could only generate five layers now. If not, the high recoil would break his combo.

Although the two players had very high stats, their damage output was very limited. Blood Wizard had more than 600,000 HP. Although it was lower than Scout Radner, it would be a different story if they opened other doors and let other monsters appear.

“Shhh.”

Lin Jie’s body moved around and dealt damage consistently. His dodging skill was spectacular, and soon he had moved one round around the Boss. There was blood everywhere on the ground.

“Damn. If I step on it, the Wind Guardian will be triggered, and he can use Wind spells…” Lin Jie started to worry.

“F*ck it!”

Enchanted Scaly Armor!

Lin Jie did not bother to think anymore, and his Enchanted Scaly Armor began to drain his health point.

Death Rage!

Blood Soul Multi-Slash!

Lin Jie roared and stabbed his Broken Blade on Larek’s heart!

-6,583!-6,644!

The Blood Wizard’s health points dropped, and it gave a creepy smile. The blood on the ground began to form together into a shape.

Revive!

Thousands of Bloody Skeletons had been killed in the past few days, which gave them the greatest probability to be summoned. However, this was very shocking.

Before Lin Jie were 5 Scout Radner! The tide had changed! They were facing 6 Bosses now!

“WTF! Scout? Seriously? 6 Raid Commanders?”

Lin Jie looked at the 6 Scouts and shivered, not in fear but excitement! Scout was the original life form of Blood Swamp, unlike Blood Wizard!

If he managed to kill all the Scouts, how powerful would his Bone Membrane Armor be?

Even in his previous life, no one had ever done anything so crazy!
