Reborn: Super God of War

Bat Demon: Level 15 Boss, Health Points: 50,000

A boss with level 15 and above was considered as a Silver boss. It was one of the few high-level gradeless bosses. It had a decent attack, but it had a lower respawn time; 4 hours.

Furthermore, there would be no equipment drop, nor did it drop any coins. The Equipment Enchantment Scroll was the only thing that it would drop. Thus, players had a bittersweet feeling towards it.

But this boss was the best choice for Lin Jie due to its high experience points. The rapid leveling up of Eighteen Massacres put huge pressure on Lin Jie. Indeed, he could find Legendary Equipment Shards, or even Legendary equipment through his memory from the previous life, but both assembling them and unlocking the seals required time. Others were spending their time to become stronger. The New Age had too many types of equipment, so it was not possible for someone to have them all.

What Lin Jie lacked the most was time.

He was worried, afraid, or even fearful of the development of the three big guilds. That was something Lin Jie had to stop in this life.

The Bat Demon’s zone of sight was very big. Once it spotted someone, the unlucky individual would be in dire straits. When the Bat Demon locked on its target, its ranged attacks had no object collision. Lin Jie would die instantly if he were to be attacked now.

“It’s about time.” Lin Jie chose a flat ground and started to assemble the Portable Guardian Crossbow.

As long as the plot was not activated, the Bat Demon would just move around within the zone of sight of a player.

As time past, the Portable Guardian Crossbow was slowly beginning to show its true form. It looked like a cannon. Lin Jie took out the silver arrows. The arrows were very long, about the height of a human. It was costly, and it required up to 10 seconds to be set on the string of the bow made from sea snake tendon.

‘Take aim!’

Lin Jie locked on the Bat Demon and released the arrow the moment it turned around! The bright silver light fell like a meteor, stabbing the Bat Demon’s head with great impact and penetration. It pierced through its ill-developed head, pulling its whole body down, which then was rolling on the ground.

-586!

Lin Jie immediately took out a second arrow and reload the crossbow. He waited at the same spot quietly.

The Bat Demon rose from the ground in perplexity, its broken head slowly recovered, and its angry eyes began to glance around. Lin Jie waited patiently. 10 seconds later, the Bat Demon did not seem to notice any abnormality. The vigilance in its eyes gradually disappeared. The arrow pierced the same part again.

-655!

When attacking fragile parts, an attack bonus would be added! The brain was very important to the Bat Demon. It could only restore the brain by losing its health points again. When the Bat Demon’s limbs were damaged, it only took 1,000 health points to recover them. And its attack was accompanied by 45% life-steal.

However, its opponent was Lin Jie!

‘Quick reload and launch!’

Lin Jie maintained a steady output frequency, aiming at the monster’s head every time, and the damage to Bat Demon instantly increased wildly. With the self-recovering of the injured head at the cost of losing health points, combined with Lin Jie’s intricate attacks, its health bar was reduced by 25%.

‘Slow and steady win the race!’

The Bat Demon became impatient. Although its intelligence was low, it knew that the man who was secretly attacking was trying to kill it by dragging the fight. Thus, it made an attempt to no longer spend health points to restore the brain.

At that, Lin Jie started shooting its limbs, wings… Until the boss was only left with its torso, Lin Jie took out his gun and fired it. Without a brain, the defense of the boss would be reduced greatly, and the damage caused by a gun was almost the same as that of a guard crossbow. There were only 100 arrows so it would be good to save as many as possible.

The Bat Demon could not stand it any longer. At last, it felt that it had made a mistake and began to grow its brain again. Would Lin Jie make it easy for it to do so? Of course not! Taking advantage of this good opportunity, he quickly fired several rounds of bullets, but it was too late, boss health bar was left with only 20%!

“Roar!” The Bat Demon spent a large portion of its health points and finally regenerated its brain. It intended to fight to the end with the guy hiding in the dark.

Suddenly a silver meteor came down and smashed its brain!

-1,928! (Critical Hit)

Ding~

——’You have killed the Bat Demon. Achievement 10 Consecutive Kills Alone is unlocked! Killing the Bat Demon 10 times alone to complete the achievement.

——’You have leveled up to level 9 and received 5 free stat points and 2 fixed stat points.’

Looking at this achievement, Lin Jie laughed bitterly. In Lin Jie’s previous life, no one had ever accomplished that for seven years! Not to mention how difficult it was for a single person to kill a Bat Demon. It was even more difficult for a single person to kill a Bat Demon 10 times in a row. If one got interrupted once, they would fail.

Furthermore, after the Bat Demon was defeated nine times, it would evolve into a level 15 Gold boss, which could easily wipe out a team of 100 people.

Ignoring that unrealistic achievement, Lin Jie went up and looked at what the Bat Demon had dropped. There was a wrist guard enchanting scroll (Power), and a weapon enchanting scroll (Attack).

Equipment Enchantment Scrolls could attach certain attributes to the equipment. The higher the grade of scrolls, the better the attributes. Correspondingly, the success rate would be lower, depending on the level of the enchanter. Equipment enchanting required an enchanter. Normal equipment could only open one or three enchantment slots. While Sub-Legendary equipment was fixed to five, legendary equipment was fixed to seven, and heritage equipment was fixed to 10.

The wrist guard scroll for strength had the following properties: Strength + 8.

The weapon scroll for damage was not as good, with only +3 in attack.

With two enchantment scrolls in his backpack, Lin Jie returned to the crossbow and attracted some wandering cats to kill. The monster cats were the size of a cattle, a common monster, and Lin Jie could barely pick and choose as a recreation waiting for Bat Demon to respawn.

…

“Old, how is the Kingdom of Glory doing?” Lin Jie called the Wine God Elder as he picked up the “Tail of Demon Cat” and put it in his inventory after defeating its owner.

“They cleared the difficult-level.” The Wine God Elder’s tone was somewhat heavy, he added, “Without an attack strategy.”

Lin Jie remained silent for a moment.

Even after his rebirth, the power of the Kingdom of Glory was still not to be underestimated. It was the greatest obstacle for the Brotherhood to gain enough fame.

“What about now?”

“Now? They are trying to find an attack strategy for the expert-level, with the lead of Eighteen Massacres.”

Lin Jie’s eyes lit up and asked, “You said that they cleared the difficult-level without an attack strategy?”

“Yeah,” Wine God Elder replied doubtfully.

“Give them the strategy!”

“What?”

Lin Jie repeated himself once more and called Heavenly Shield, “Shield, I have a favor to ask from you…”

…

Gilnis Tavern

The vintage accordion was playing with a beautiful tune. The singing was melodious, and the rain outside was endless. This was a tavern with a sense of vicissitudes of life and history.

Eighteen Massacres loved that place the most as it was relaxing and comfortable. It allowed him to be refreshed from the tiredness he had. But right now, he was a little upset as his most trusted subordinate had brought work to him.

In the projection on the table, the footage of Ironwall Empire clearing the difficult-level dungeon was playing. When Eighteen Massacres saw Timmy helping to kill the boss, he was shocked.

“Boss? How is it?” Cigarette Butt came closer and said with confidence, “It was not easy to find such information.”

“It must have been hard on you,” said Eighteen Massacres.

Cigarette Butt was so touched that he almost cried. It was the first time that his boss had said this to him.

“From what I heard, the Ironwall Empire only used 10 bottles of the Lineage Potion,” Cigarette Butt continued, “its effect under 20 bottles was not very significant, but with more than 50 bottles, this NPC would turn into a super boss.”

“Lineage Potion…” Eighteen Massacres tapped on the table lightly, the sound was echoed in the room as though it was music. He was always doubtful. Although it was not difficult for Cigarette Butt to bribe someone from the Ironwall Empire, the credibility of the information would need further investigation.

“Boss, I’d rather believe it than not,” said Cigarette Butt

“Where can I find the Lineage Potion?”

“Sky Provisions Shop.”

‘Sky Provisions Shop!’ Eighteen Massacres’ eyes lit up. It was the Sky Provisions Shop again! The actual owner of this provision shop was very mysterious. He could buy the entire shop and even indirectly affect the market price. When Castle Wood had just been released, he had shown great financial power: countless number of low-level Poison-Antidote Potion, ingredients, recipes…

Although the need for low-level Poison-Antidote Potion was not as high, the shop still held more than half of the supply. It could be said that the release of Castle Wood had benefited the Sky Provisions Shop the most instead of Brotherhood or guilds. Now, it had become the “official” trading platform for countless players, and it even had the trend of becoming the drogue for the pricing system. As long as it existed, the items’ prices would not change much.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

…

At the Sky Provisions Shop.

There was a huge crowd outside the ordinary store. The queue was about 15 meters long. Some were there to pawn items, some were there to redeem their items, while others were there to exchange points for items that could help them in leveling.

“Brothers, please make way!” said Cigarette Butt, drawing attention to himself.

“It’s Cigarette Butt! Then, the Holy Paladin in black is…”

“Holy, it’s Eighteen Massacres!”

“Eighteen Massacres? Where is he? He is my idol!”

“Hehe, the Kingdom of Glory has been a disgrace recently.”

For some time, the people’s voices were becoming louder and louder. However, the crowd had not fallen in disorder as there was a bulletin board in front of the shop, which read four words: Cutting queue is prohibited.

“Don’t even think about cutting queue. Do you see the two elite Holy Paladin over there?” A kind and outgoing player put his hand around the shoulder of Eighteen Massacres. This action stunned the Eighteen Massacres for a moment. That player pointed at the elite Holy Paladins who were folding their arms far away. “They keep an eye over this place, you will be spending an hour to repent over your sin if you dare to cut queue. No one dares to defy them.”

“Keep an eye over this place?” Cigarette Butt opened his eyes widely. “Who are they? Gangsters?”

“Bang!”

A ball of holy light hit Cigarette Butt in the chest. His legs felt like jelly, and he knelt down uncontrollably. He had his upper body bowing down to the ground and had entered a state of repentance. He looked just like a frog.

“Punishment befalls on anyone who is rude towards the Holy Light or me!” shouted the Holy Paladin
