Chapter 425: Continue Clearing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Devils’ Prison.

The pitch-black, damp Devils’ Prison was dimly lit, it made one feel extremely depressed just being there. The walls were carved with all kinds of statues such as the Abyss Devil King, Devil of Fear, and Four-Winged Devil, which engraved fear in people’s hearts.

Lin Jie slept on someone’s thigh in comfort as he rested.

Don’t misunderstand, that was not Bu Yi but Domestic Fat Cattle. Lin Jie finally realized the advantage of being a fatso—fleshy! That was much more comfortable to sleep on than the Bloodsweeping Cloak.

“He’s too tired after all, let him rest for a while more,” whispered Bu Yi gently.

She understood how exhausted Lin Jie was. When everyone was resting, Lone Wolf was still battling in the game. There were always some who thought that the strength of Codename Lone Wolf came from his excellent luck and the superb equipment he had. However, they had disregarded the many reasons behind how Lin Jie had obtained his powers: perseverance, strict self-regulation, and hard work…

Domestic Fat Cattle pulled his robe closer and mumbled, “Why the f*ck do I feel like I’m being violated? Also, Innocent, you are good friends with Lone Wolf in the real world, right?”

Zheng Ziliang was experimenting with the effects of “Vehicle-Mounted Bomb” on the Mechanical Gargoyle. He turned his head around when he was asked and then nodded. “Yeah, we are roommates, why?”

“Why didn’t you tell me… that this b*stard drools when sleeping!? F*ck, this is the first time I hate how realistic this game is.” Fat Cattle’s face was filled with anger as there was already a big patch of drool on his robe, which completely revealed the supple white and tender fats of a homebody. Others were seductive beauties when wet, but he revealed a big patch of oily fats, which made one feel disgusted.

After such a ruckus, Lin Jie finally woke up with droopy eyes and unconsciously wiped his saliva. Then he flicked his hand, and so coincidentally, he made Fat Cattle’s Mage robe a little wetter. Even Bu Yi could not bear to watch and covered her eyes.

Meanwhile, at that moment, the last three people: the three guild leaders, Dumb Fox, Ghost Eyes, and Heaven Plume, finally came online.

The first thing they saw was Lin Jie rubbing his eyes as he got up from Fat Cattle’s thighs, and then Bu Yi covering her eyes. In but an instant, their expressions became weird, and they also covered up their eyes. They exclaimed in their hearts that the famous Codename Lone Wolf was actually gay, this world was too crazy.

Lin Jie took a look at them and instantly understood what they were thinking. He glared at them before saying, “What’s with the strange reaction? Remove your hands from your eyes! Fox, why is your face full of shock and worries? If I had some special hobby, I would have gotten the three of you, my dear guild leaders, onto bed already.”

The three of them exchanged looks, full of horror, before retreating a few steps with an even weirder look on their faces.

‘He really was gay! His aim was not to fight to be the best but our body? Too frightening, too frightening…’ they all thought.

“Enough, enough.” Baili Changcheng slapped himself and hurriedly used Fire Elements to dry the Fire Mage’s robe. He then said in a serious tone, “Bad news. When we were resting, Twilight Transmigration had already passed the fourth and fifth Bosses, which means their progress is the same as ours. We have no time to play around.”

“Oh? Looks like Character Z has something up his sleeves.” Lin Jie did not find it strange but was only slightly surprised at Character Z’s speed. He said in a relaxed manner, “Indeed, our progress is the same, but our starting line is different. I have my reasons for letting everyone rest to recover their energy. Let’s go, let’s get the first clear of the Holy Light Temple while we are energetic!”

At the same time, while muddle-headed, Twilight Transmigration also entered the last stage.

The Holy Light Temple’s final Boss was at the deepest part of the Devils’ Prison. Everyone had already seen it before—it was the missionary who had tricked Mona! In fact, he was not a human but a Devil that was disguised as a human. The Devil that those from the Holy Light Temple, who had spent all their efforts wanting to kill, was their greatest leader.

Devil•Varvis!

The word Devil was nearly the synonym for Darkness. Devils were born from distorted voids and were abnormal, both mentally and physically. Even if it were an Archdevil, which had intellect, or even Devil Commanders that were as wise as Angels, their minds were extremely twisted and regarded world destruction as their responsibility, hoping the whole civilization to fall into distorted voids.

There were no monsters on the road to the final Boss, and even traps that were not triggered also disappeared. It was so eerily smooth that it made people afraid, just like the calm before the storm.

“We’re here.”

Lin Jie stood still in front of the black-gem-encrusted door. The whole door was in the shape of the bloody mouth of the Devil with shining sharp fangs as if it were about to devour the whole world. The final Boss was within the door.

“Everyone, remember your roles. No matter what, do not make mistakes. The tolerance of mistakes for the final Boss is zero. As long as there is any mistake, then that person will definitely die! If the death count is over 10, then we will be wiped out,” said Lin Jie solemnly. After getting the simultaneous reply from everyone, he waved his hand and said, “Apply buffa!”

Life Growl!

Power Word Toughen!

Strength’s Blessing!

…

After enhancing their status, everyone shone as though they were an army of angels.

They pushed open the door, and countless Holy Light shone from within, almost blinding one’s eyes! One could only see hundreds of Believers wearing cloaks, kneeling on the ground, and praying like crazy zealots. In the utmost center was an old Priest, wearing a pure white Priest robe. The old Priest looked very amiable as he smiled to everyone and stretched out his hand before saying, “Children, you are here to defeat Devil•Varvis, right? Come, let me guide you.”

The Believers all bowed down and welcomed them passionately.

However, everyone started becoming nervous, that old Priest was the final Boss, a real Devil!

[Old Priest Flann] (Friendly Unit): Level 40 Normal Monster, Health Points: 3,000

The final Boss was sinister and cunning as he had actually disguised himself as a Priest. If everyone listened to him and walked within 50 yards of him, then they would be bound by the Boss and be unable to move for 20 seconds, thus resulting in being burnt to death by the Believers.

“Assassination Stinging Bolt!” Red Dust pulled his bow, the sizzling sounds of the bow hurting everyone’s eardrums. The golden feathered arrow let out a roar as the Archery Skill was enhanced on that arrow, together with Poison, Lightness, and Armor Penetration. That arrow was like a poisonous snake, the more colorful it was, the more fearsome it was!

Red Dust wanted to kill that Priest in one shot! Killing from an extremely far distance of 50 yards, only Red Dust could do it!

Whoosh—

The golden arrow shot through the air and left a trajectory that could be seen with naked eyes. It was as if a giant gold line appeared in front of everyone as it flew towards the Boss. It was an image that would only be produced when the arrows reached a certain speed!

The golden-feathered arrow accurately pierced the forehead of the old Priest. It then spun as it entered, and in that instant, blood splashed out, that old Priest was firmly nailed onto the wall. The golden-feathered arrow pierced a huge hole in that wall with the remaining momentum, and the position where the old Priest was nailed had formed layers of crack-like spider webs.

-3,048!

Red Dust laughed out heartily as he immediately took out a Magic Potion to recover his mana. That arrow just now had nearly consumed all of his mana, but the effects were significant—the old Priest was instakilled and could not maintain his fake appearance.

Holy Light enveloped the old Priest completely, and his eyes were filled with golden Holy Light, it was as if his whole body was made of light.

[Believer•Varvis] (Boss)

Level: 50

Health Points: 1,200,000

Magic Attack: 2,018-2,837

Defense: 900

Additional effect: High-level Priest Mastery

The first form of the final Boss was a Triple Ability Priest. He was proficient in the jobs of Ascetic Priests, Holy Priests, and Shadow Priests. Also, he was able to use divine spells and Sacred Fire, he had various different means.

“Believers, kill the intruders!” The Boss let out a deep bellow from his mouth, and countless Believers shone brightly. They stretched out their hands as they headed towards Lin Jie and the others, wanting to grab them.

The Believers’ health points were 150,000, and there were up to a hundred of them.

It seemed as if they were “simple monsters that were appetizers before the Boss battle”, but if one really treated them as weak monsters, it would be over for them. Those Believers only needed to touch a player, then that player would explode and die! If one attacked the Believers, the latter’s Movement Speed would increase by 100%. Then they would catch up to the players and self-destruct.

The only solution was to let the Believers collide amongst themselves and self-destruct.

Whoosh—

Everyone suddenly started to run swiftly. Everyone’s Movement Speed reached the highest value possible, the direction and trajectory they ran towards were all different.

It seemed as if there was no pattern, but if one were where the Silver-Feathered Eagle was and saw from its perspective, they would realize that each of them had their own running trajectory, which did not overlap. Although the range of running was limited, there would never be any situation where a wrong explosion would occur.

The credit went to Lin Jie. The Movement Speed of each job and player was different, so one had to plan strictly. Also, the Believers’ self-destruction would have an area effect that would cause the Believers nearby to also self-destruct. Therefore, once it went out of control, the Believers on the whole map would explode, and naturally, the players would be wiped out.

The reason why Lin Jie did not rest was to draw the map. That was an extremely tedious and difficult task where he had to calculate the speed of each member when to use which speed-increasing skill, and what change it would cause. He had to control where the Believers exploded. Those must all be calculated precisely, or else it might result in an irredeemable mistake!

Lin Jie’s effort was rewarded as everyone had gone offline to rest as they were full of energy now and would not make any mistakes. Two Believers collided with each other and exploded instantly but did not affect the others.

The superb performance made Lin Jie extremely satisfied.

—’You have killed Crazed Believer, you received 100 Holy Church Reputation Points.’

—’You have killed Crazed Believer, you received 100 Holy Church Reputation Points.’

Everyone’s reputation increased rapidly, much faster than completing missions. As up to a hundred Believers ran in an orderly manner, they all exploded without any left! If others saw that, most probably they would not believe it. This stage had stopped countless teams as it required detailed analysis and teamwork with good coordination, only then could the stage be cleared without deaths.

Boom—

The last two Believers exploded, and the Boss’ staff instantly shone.

Holy Nova exploded!

Holy Nova: Deals 1,000 points of damage to all units and recovers almost 4,000 HP for the Boss, occurs once every 1.5 seconds.

That stage required them to be all out in DPS, and healers had to heal with all their might, or else it would result in a reduction of members. However, Healers had to ensure that they saved enough mana, or else after Holy Nova ended, a Sacred Fire Torrent would wipe out the whole team.

“Extensive preparation eventually pays off. It’s time for the Holy Light Corrosive Potions to shine!” With a flick of Lin Jie’s finger, a dark yellow potion landed in his palm.
