Chapter 408: Fighting Chaos In The Sky

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jie’s fingers quivered and flicked to use the Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion to undo his stunned state. He concaved and shot forward like a rubber band released from tension!

Lin Jie managed to undo his stunned state and dodged the dagger all within half a second! However, all attacks had ‘attack judgment’, so Cold Blood was bound to hit its target. Despite how hard Lin Jie tried to avoid the attack, he still had to tank 50% of the attack.

A victorious sneer bloomed in Chaos In The Sky’s lips as he said ominously, “Lone Wolf, I admit that you are a pretty decent player. However, you want to get through my Cold Blood with just 200 HP? Hahaha, die!”

Cold Blood Edge, slice!

As the Bandits’ strongest attack, Cold Blood had a very powerful Armor Ignore ability. Even if Lin Jie was tough as steel, it would be difficult for him to tank this attack! The cold knife pierced down, revealing Chaos In The Sky’s desire to slice him in half.

Clink, clink, clink—

Astonishment filled Chaos In The Sky’s eyes as scales grew out on Lin Jie’s body at the moment when Cold Blood was able to serve the critical hit! The cerulean scales were thick and sturdy as they blocked the attack for him. After some jangling noise, all the scales were shattered as a 128 damage value appeared above Lin Jie’s head. He was only left with 100+ health points!

Sea King Scaly Armor was able to store 5% of the highest health points as scales and a maximum of 5 pieces. Those were the scales that blocked the damage for Lin Jie, which would have killed him immediately otherwise.

Lin Jie finally had a breather, and he took this chance to gulp down a Superior-Grade Health Potion, increasing his health bar by 2,200 points. However, an unusual feeling emerged from his throat as the potion flowed down, and he only managed to boost 550 points!

Chaos In The Sky had smeared [Weakening Poison] on his dagger during the last attack, which reduced healing effects by 75%, and it would last for 3 seconds as he had predicted that Lin Jie would consume a Health Potion.

“Hmph, I can’t believe that you managed to avoid that! However, you have to wait a minute before consuming the next bottle. How can you fight me when you little Priest is stuck? Lone Wolf?” Chaos In The Sky laughed obnoxiously.

Lin Jie’s vision grew frosty as he attacked out with Blade Aura! Chaos In The Sky was sliced in half, but then it was reduced to a phantom and vanished.

“Fool, I am a Shadower. I underestimated you during our previous fight, giving you the upper hand. Now that I am at my full strength, how can you handle me?” Chaos In The Sky unleashed Tornado Step once again, and he was no longer visible to the naked eye. He had learned from his previous mistake and focused on activating the spell, making his presence hard to capture.

Tornado Step’s effect was to take the center of movement as a reference while increasing speed by 30% and producing afterimages. Targets within the region would have their vision weakened with twice as many afterimages.

Furthermore, Chaos In The Sky had invested a lot into this ambush and had spent half a month of the channeling material, Stealth Shadow, that he had saved! Shadowers had a special skill of shadow-forming, and killing every Boss would result in a new Stealth Shadow being formed. Consumption of Steal Shadows would increase the skill’s effectiveness, and Chaos In The Sky had utilized all 60 shadows that he had accumulated for the past half a month!

“Shadower, such speed.” Lin Jie glared at the tornado and was unable to tell where Chaos In The Sky was. He was right, once he was at his full strength, it would be hard to track his location!

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a silhouette unleashed 3 consecutive attacks, Gouge, Pierce Bone, and Back Stab! Lin Jie wielded Broken Blade and received all three moves as his Blade Aura expanded as he sliced through the air! However, the shadow was not the host as it soon merged back into the Shadow Tornado.

Another shadow crept behind Lin Jie using Dark Shadow Steps for a surprise attack and ambushed with a reversed Backstab, causing more than 200 points of damage!

‘The effect of this skill was to let the shadows tank the damage for the host, but the damage output will be decreased. Seems like Chaos In The Sky is taking the safer route this time, did he plan to outlive me?’ Lin Jie analyzed the situation carefully while counterattacking.

“Now that it has come to this, I will force out your presence! Flaming Blade! Thunder Descent! Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!”

Lin Jie growled out as he no longer wanted to be at the tender mercy of someone, and wanted to change up the play!

At the broken edge of Broken Blade, flames concentrated into Thunder Blade, and the fire blazed, almost twisting the surrounding air! Suddenly the flames flickered, and crackling thunder sounded soon after. Violet Thunder wrapped Lin Jie’s body up, covering up like the God of Thunder. His blade and aura grew in intensity.

“Get out here!”

Lin Jie growled and unleashed 4 consecutive Army Obliteration attacks in all directions! The Broken Blades sliced and burnt through everything in its path. Soon after, thunder whips were slashed in the air, and the Blade Auras exploded out!

This was straight up, forcing Chaos In The Sky out with strength.

Screech—

A groan sounded from within the tornado, and a 2,039 damage value popped up right after! Chaos In The Sky was astonished as he did not expect Lin Jie to still be capable of more unusual means to retaliate!

“Hmm?” Lin Jie noticed the oddity and wielded Broken Blade, coupled with Flame Thunder towards Chaos In The Sky!

“You really underestimated me.” Chaos In The Sky sneered and flicked his palm. A small smoke bomb appeared into his hands and exploded with a boom. The surroundings were instantly filled with fog, blurring everyone’s vision. He leaped off the ground as his body began to tremble. With every tremble, a new afterimage was produced, and soon 4 identical people appeared.

Shadowers were not people without shadows. Instead, they were terrifying characters that were so quick that their shadows could not be captured, and could even make use of their afterimages!

“Extreme Speed, split! “Chaos In The Sky growled, and all 4 counterparts swarmed up with cold hard daggers and pierced towards Lin Jie.

Whoosh—

The fog was disrupted by Lin Jie’s Water Surge, but at that moment, 4 cold slices cut through the air! They were so close as if one of them was going straight to the eye!

These were all the real host!

“Dark Chaotic Hole!”

Lin Jie ground his teeth as the 4 doppelgangers, and 4 daggers stabbed his body countless times when Dark Chaotic Hole was unleashed. However, none of them inflicted any dangers onto Lin Jie! All of the attacks were nullified in the face of Dark Chaotic Hole!

Lin Jie had really caught the precise moment. In Bu Yi’s 10 seconds of stun, both men were battling ferociously and had unleashed dozens of life-threatening moves! Any mistake would result in their fall.

“Lin Jie!” Bu Yi finally recovered from her stunned state. The effect was unable to be undone by the Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion, and she could only watch on helplessly as Lin Jie fought alone. Now that she had gained back control of her body, she began chanting healing spells, heal renew spells, and power word shields immediately. With the support from a Priest, Lin Jie’s health bar was fully replenished in an instant.

Lin Jie’s eyes were frosty as flames, thunders, and Blade Auras surrounded him. Broken Blade touched the ground, and cracks began appearing immediately. However, Lin Jie grew solemn as the Shadower was such a troublesome opponent even though Lin Jie had uncomparable damage output and even 200,000 points of explosion!

Lin Jie’s strongest explosion was indeed 200,000 points. However, which player would allow him to be able to explode? They would probably kill him in his preparation stage! Taking Chaos In The Sky, for example, if Clomaros in his strongest state was to descend, he could slay the former a dozen times. But would Chaos In The Sky even let Clomaros have the chance to explode?

“Hahaha, Codename Lone Wolf, your abilities aren’t much. Other than overpowering those foolish Bosses, what else can you do? I have understood your full strength after today’s fight, if you fall into my hands again, you will be dead!” Chaos In The Sky cackled rampantly like a maniac.

“Your tyrannic times are going to be over soon. The City of Light is soon be taken over by the City of Twilight, and your Brotherhood will ultimately become the filter of Twilight Transmigration’s recruitment. Our besieges will never cease, just that you have yet to experience that. I will let you off today, however, a friendly reminder that you better be on your guard. However, you will be dead before you know it, hahaha…”

The voice grew distant before finally vanishing.

Chaos In The Sky saw Bu Yi awakened and knew that he was no longer able to kill Lin Jie, so he decided to retreat.

Lin Jie’s eyes locked on the direction where he left as his vision grew cold. Was Twilight Transmigration openly challenging him now? Who gave them that confidence?

“Lin Jie…” Bu Yi pulled Lin Jie worriedly and said softly, “Don’t be discouraged, we only fell prey to the ambush because we were not prepared. Furthermore, Brotherhood is at its peak now, how can they destroy us so easily?”

Lin Jie let out a deep breath and said. “Brotherhood is still in a state of disunity, even with its large scale. However, that’s not the problem. Even if the Brotherhood were to fall one day, its belief has been carved into all the players, and it will be up again in no time. What I am worried about is… Hais.”

“You are worried about the other experts, right?” Bu Yi said calmly, “That snipe crushed your confidence because he managed to draw with you during a fight, right? However, he still ended up escaping and giving up, didn’t he? Lin Jie, your strongest point isn’t your equipment, skills, manpower, or foresight. It is your confidence and never-give-up attitude. You cannot lose that ever. I believe that no experts will be able to beat you.”

Lin Jie shook his head. “After the Job Advancement mission, many players will be met with great opportunities. That Bug King that Feng Yun has is a monster with powerful potential as well. And, there are so many of these people…”

“So you are afraid?”

“Afraid? No, I am excited! My smooth sailing journey had paralyzed me, and I have failed to notice others. However, I am destined to be the man that stands upon The New Age, nobody can drag me down, my feet are smelly!” Lin Jie grunted out.

Bu Yi was surprised as she asked doubtfully, “Why are your feet smelly instead of strong? It would have sounded more imposing.”

Lin Jie grinned. “I will have to kick them off one by one if I have imposing feet, it’s a single unit attack, so the efficiency is too low. However, smelly feet is an AOE attack…”

“…”
