Reborn: Super God of War

Qiu Yuan turned back and saw Lin Jie clench his teeth while cutting off the arm of Antipathy. This bloody scene made her chest feel uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jie grabbed the arm and threw it away, far away from everybody’s line of sight. Both of his hands were covered with venom that was like sulfuric acid.

“Continue attacking!” shouted Lin Jie, and Water just rushed straight forward. Antipathy’s attack power had decreased significantly without its sickle.

Qiu Yuan looked at Lin Jie’s back with complicated feelings. She then calmed herself down. Dark shadow wrapped around her fingertips and she returned to her position to continue attacking.

In everyone’s powerful outburst, Antipathy’s Health Points decreased rapidly.

The toxic fog’s varying speed became faster and faster, and the infection interval shortened to 3 seconds. However, it was useless in the face of a large quantity of Poison-Antidote Potions!

In addition, the boss’ five consecutive assassinations were all aimed at Lin Jie. Not only were they interrupted every time, but its soft and decaying limbs were also cut and split into many parts too, greatly reducing its attributes.

“ROAR——”

-105!

When Antipathy’s Health Points dropped to 5%, it was finally unable to bear the humiliation. While shaking its broken arm and residual limb, it rushed toward Lin Jie. Its body grew bigger and bigger, like a balloon being inflated.

“Run! The Boss is about to self-destruct!” roared Lin Jie.

Then, he realized that everyone was already retreating and he was the only one left still within the radius of Antipathy’s explosion.

Kaboom—

The Rocket Launcher at his waist activated and a flame started burning at his belly button area. With a bang… His belly was blown up and not only did he receive 120 points of damage, but in addition, he had a bleeding status. His health bar that was already under the maximum health almost decreased to the bottom.

Engineering Product, cheating people!

His body became blood red, and his four limbs were filled with enormous strength as he activated Death Rage! This skill that was used in desperation for a fight to the death was used as an escape tool. He jumped out with a swoosh.

Bang!

Antipathy exploded! Stinky green venom was sprayed everywhere, the stink was unbearable to smell, almost able to make people faint because of its intensity.

The venom would last for 10 minutes. Any targets that got close would receive toxin damage.

Even when picking up equipment, one would have to face life-threatening dangers. If a critical hit appeared, it would be dangerous.

Lin Jie took out the Lineage Potion and splashed it towards Antipathy’s corpse.

Sizzle—

The venom evaporated, and Antipathy’s corpse was cleansed too. Only two pieces of equipment with a sudden flash of silver light could be seen.

Evil Heavy Armor (Silver), Defense: 22-34, Resistance +2, Parry percentage increases by 2%. This armor was meant for Shield Specialist only, so it was given to Water. The other equipment was an accessory that was rarely seen.

Corrosive Mysterious Ring (Silver, Unique Equipment)

Can be used by Priests

Requires: Level 5

Magic Attack: 2-10

Wisdom: +8

Spirit: +8

Additional effect: When you use Dark Speech, you shall gain a healing effect of 10% of the damage points. When you use divine spells, you shall receive damage that is 200% of the healing points.

Unique equipment meant that one could only equip one of such equipment as those types had very strong attributes.

For example, the Corrosive Mysterious Ring could allow Shadow Priests to become an existence like the vampires. However, to Holy Priests and Ascetic Priests, it was poison.

Qiu Yuan happily put the ring onto her fingers that were like white jade and giggled. “Very beautiful.”

Lin Jie nodded his head. “The attributes are good.”

These two’s dialogs were really wonderful! The others, who were sitting on the ground resting, had their whole face written with can’t help it.

Meanwhile, Zheng Ziliang joyfully gathered the venom that was scattered all around with excitement. He carefully stored it into his backpack, and after rubbing both of his hands together, a dark green grenade appeared on his hand instantly.

“New product was successfully created,” said Zheng Ziliang as he smiled. He lowered his head to read the attributes. “Cause venom damage to targets within 10*10 yard radius. OMG! This attack range is so powerful! Causes 50 points of damage every second. Wow! Haha, I am really a genius!”

Lin Jie frowned. “Such a strong item, is there no restriction?” In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had not been very familiar with sub jobs and hadn’t paid much attention to engineering.

At most, he had read some posts while scrolling through the forum. It had mentioned that there had indeed been a high degree of freedom in engineering. As long as one had enough skills, they could create anything without a blueprint. Unfortunately, the success rate was not high, and it would not be recognized by the system, which meant that the product would be unable to be sold or traded.

The main source of income for a sub job player was to sell those products set by the system. That setting caused the number of players who voluntarily wanted to invent items by themselves to be very few.

“Restriction? Let me see.” Zheng Ziliang looked at the small row of words behind the grenade. As he read it out, his face became ashen. “10 seconds after successful creation, it will… explode!”

“WTF, tough situation, f*uck off!” It was unknown who was so talented to blurt out such vulgar words.

Boom—

The explosion was like an atomic bomb, and it nearly blasted open the top of the castle. They quickly rushed outside the door to hide, but Zheng Ziliang who was in the middle of the explosion died.

“Really No Zuo No Die…” Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “Keep your grenades away, you are not allowed to use engineering in front of me! Priest, draw his soul here.”

Soul Traction: Priests’ exclusive skill. Lets the soul and corpse of a dead teammate to be pulled to a designated location. Cooldown time was above 2 hours, it was of utmost importance to have this skill when exploring new places.

The team’s priest was a very pure small girl. She had average looks, but her clean temperament gave an intriguing feel that was irresistible, a feeling of wanting to protect her. She blushed and said weakly, “I… have not learned it.”

Lin Jie heart dropped. ‘Oh yeah, at this stage, Soul Traction is still a very rare skill.’ Any Traction Skill Book could be sold at a sky-high price if one had it.

“Forget it, run to your corpse,” said Lin Jie helplessly.

“So-Sorry,” said the priest girl and lowered her head.

This instantly made Water flustered and started comforting her again and again, saying that not knowing the Traction Spell was not her fault. He did not know the Traction spell either, but he was still alive and kicking.

Dong—

Dong—

The sudden footsteps gave Lin Jie a shock. He was still thinking of the next dungeon strategy. There was a secret passage at the horse stable so they could bypass the abnormally powerful third Boss. As long as they fought properly, they could reach the place right in front of Galru within 10 hours.

“Wuwaaaaaa! Awu—”

Those were the sounds of werewolves! Lin Jie quickly stood up, and everyone else followed Lin Jie closely. They rushed to the door that was unlatched and used their utmost effort to stop the door from opening. Loud ramming sounds could be heard from the other side of the door.

That explosion had attracted all the werewolves there!

“Who dared to intrude into Castle Wood without permission?” A deep below could be heard. The third Boss, the Highlord Modorheim had actually appeared too! After dying, his soul had not dispersed, so he had been used by Galru to become the boss gatekeeper. As a Highlord, his strength was even stronger than Galru.

After Ophadi made public the Castle Wood secret passage, a way that could bypass the Highlord Modorheim, everyone chose to bypass the boss before level 15. Not because of any other reason, but just because it was way too strong. Its tanking shield could reflect most of the damage, his sword came with the slashing effect, and he could summon a werewolf whenever he killed a player.

The summoned werewolf would have signed a Master-Servant Contract with the boss, so once they dealt damage to the players, it would regenerate the Highlord’s health. It was equivalent to a super perpetual motion machine, how could they kill the boss like that?

“Fu Sheng, what happened?” Qiu Yuan felt something was amiss as she felt the enormous strength from outside the door. She was very shocked. “Did all the monsters come?”

Lin Jie gave a bitter smile as he didn’t know either! In the seven years of his previous life, this kind of situation had not happened before. Rebirth was not omnipotent!

Once Qiu Yuan’s words left her mouth, the teammates pushed against the door with even more strength as though risking their lives to prevent the door from opening. The wooden door was shaky and unsteady, as though it would collapse any second now.

“Jie, I have finished running to my corpse, should I revive now?” Zheng Ziliang’s voice could be heard, but before his voice had died away, an exclamation sounded from the team channel, “WTF, this much…”

—’Your teammate Innocent Killer has died.’

Lin Jie was rendered speechless by that fellow’s impatience! He unintentionally glanced at the damage list, but he suddenly realized that Zheng Ziliang’s damage points had soared! What was going on? Also, the ramming strength outside the door suddenly became weaker by a lot.

Lin Jie called out to everyone and slightly opened the door, only to see Zheng Ziliang’s body collapse in front of the door. His body was emitting poison gas, which seemed to be the effect of the Poison Gas Grenade!? The werewolves were all in a dizzy state, as though they had smoked marijuana and were wandering around the corpse.

Lin Jie suddenly remembered something.

The New Age’s contracts were split into many types. Contract Summoners used the equity Master-Servant Contract, giving the summoned beasts growth and immortal strength in exchange for its loyalty. Contracts applied to both NPC and players. This could not be changed.

Then, how did Galru, that was an arcane mage, control so many werewolves? Speaking about the natives of werewolves, they were originally humans having moderate wisdom. Besides their bloodthirsty nature that would lower their IQ, they were not too dumb actually.

‘Did he use poison to control? Yes! This explains the reason why all the monsters in Castle Wood have toxin damage!’ In his previous life, the many players that liked researching about The New Age’s history had been questioning about the various phenomenon of Castle Wood. They had expressed doubts to it as they could not understand. They had even demanded the system to reset the Castle Wood’s monsters to fit the historical background. However, they had been rejected by the officials.

‘Oh, I get it! That explains it!’ Lin Jie finally understood! ‘No wonder these monsters would be attracted by venom, wandering around without advancing.’

“Block the door and kill!” Lin Jie opened the wooden door in one shot, and his Blade Aura whizzed, slashing towards the werewolves’ fragile head to split it open. He instantly brought upon a flood of damage. The others occupied an advantageous position one after another and released all kinds of skills, contributing to the best of their abilities.

At that time, the werewolves’ eyes were hazy, and they were feeling weak without strength in their bodies. They were almost like the drug addicts in the anti-drug education videos. Only a few stretched out their claws, weakly stabbing on Lin Jie’s body. With Kiara Beast King Armor Shard for protection, that degree of attacks was no different from trying to help scratch Lin Jie’s itch.

Everyone’s attacks continued for a total of half a minute. Looking around, over 30 werewolves’ Health Bars were already almost empty, only left with a pitiful 10% to 20% health. With just a few more attacks by everyone, they could probably clear all the werewolves.

The poison fog on Zheng Ziliang’s corpse slowly dispersed.

The werewolves shook their dazed head, their eyes shone a bloody glow, and their sharp claws were ice cold. They pounced on him while baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Bang!

Lin Jie closed the door quickly. Facing two werewolves was difficult enough, not to mention ten werewolves, right?

“Xiao Liangliang, are you there?” Lin Jie coughed twice to make his voice sound more gentle and kind, asking laughingly.

“I’m still lying dead.” Zheng Ziliang rolled his eyes.

“Cough cough, Xiao Liangliang, do you still have the Poison Gas Grenade?”

“Yes of course, but didn’t you forbid me to use engineering just now?”

Lin Jie’s face turned red while trying to hold back his anger. If that dumb fellow were not still lying in the middle of a monster mob, he would definitely rush up to step on him numerous times! He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Bro was wrong, you can use engineering.”

“Bro?” asked Zheng Ziliang.

“Psht.” Qiu Yuan could not help but laugh out loud. Fu Sheng just looked too comical now. He was gnashing his teeth, but he had no other choice than to pretend and put up a smiley face. It was no simple task. As Fu Sheng looked at her, Qiu Yuan quickly shook her hand. “Continue, I am just a bystander.”

Lin Jie. “…”

“Little bro was wrong, please quickly revive and throw a bomb, then die again.”

“Yes, good boy.”

“Have you revived?”

“Don’t need to hurry, call me again. If I’m comfortable, I’ll revive in an instant.”

Lin Jie’s face turned red while trying to hold back his anger. He squeezed out one word by one word heavily, shouting, “If! You! Don’t! Revive! Now! I’ll! Go! Chase! Qiu! Yuan!”

“Daddy, I’ve revived.”

Qiu Yuan.”…”

Just as he finished his sentence, an explosion could be heard from outside the door.
