Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 590: Sexy Beauty—Ice Queen

The Imaginary Eye was a supplementary skill by the Divine Item, the Sealed Dusty Book. It could identify characters in Stealth or Transformed Mode. Under the power of this magical eye, everyone could see that black Spellcaster. He—or more accurately, ‘it’—was all shriveled up like a skeleton, and with its hands raised up, it was making an action of praying devoutly.

This was the Black-Robed Inspector. It had a health bar of 1,000 health points, with a special feature known as the [Sacrifice Increase]. This skill worked like this: every time the Ice Half-Centaur struck, the Black-Robed Inspector would lose one health point, while the Ice Half-Centaur gained double of its attack capabilities. When the Black-Robed Inspector’s health bar reached zero, it would activate the Sacrifice Heal effect, restoring all the Ice Half-Centaurs 99% of their greatest health bars.

The Black-Robed Inspector would always be in the Advanced Stealth Mode. Only when five or more Hunters threw Flash Bombs at it continuously, would it be seen—but even so, it would only be visible for half a second. Unless one could kill it at the start, the Ice Half-Centaurs would always have a high Attack. Although their attacks could not kill the MTs Mixed Breathless or The Heavenly Shield instantaneously, they would definitely wear down their equipment and deplete the team’s potions supply.

Yet in the face of the Imaginary Eye, no one—not even those in Advanced Stealth Mode—could escape from the team’s inspection.

Lin Jie killed the Black-Robed Inspector in a single strike. At the same time, Star Kill also threw out his flying daggers. Once the daggers left his hands, Star Kill activated Rush and started hollering at the top of his voice when he was far away enough. All the Ice Half-Centaurs immediately focused on him, and condensed up Ice Spears, aiming at him.

At the same time, a dagger hit one of the Half-Centaurs! This creature turned its head and fixed its stare on Lin Jie, who was standing still on the spot. Its aggro changed, and it charged straight at Lin Jie.

Meanwhile, Star Kill activated Forced Invisibility and cleared off all aggro attached upon him. The rest of the Half-Centaurs lost their focus, and could only return to their original spots.

This was a very successful exhibition of how one should kite-fly Bosses!

Mixed Breathless, who was all prepared for this, immediately took over the single Half-Centaur. In that instant, Fireballs, Arrows, Blade Auras, and Fighting Slashes were all strewn upon the monster. That lone Half-Centaur was attacked to pieces by the Savage Blade team in no time.

Ding~

There was a spawned item! Lin Jie took it up and saw that it was an Ice Spear.

[Ice Javelin]

Item Introduction: This is a spear made up by the life essence of the Ice Half-Centaur. It had incredible penetration capabilities.

Attack: 170-230

Armor Ignore: 300

Attack Distance: 65 meters

Others: If you have more than 500 Strength Points, its attributes will increase by 50%.

The javelin was a once-off item, which would dissolve once it was used. Such items had a great attack distance, but it would require a lot of skills to hit its target. Lin Jie kept this item away and continued attracting the monsters, one by one, with Star Kill. Although the Half-Centaurs’ Attack was not considered high after they lost their Black-Robed Inspector, Lin Jie’s team kept their guard up and advanced onwards at a steady but careful pace.

With the Imaginary Eye, the Black-Robed Inspector had nowhere to hide. In a few minutes, the Savage Blade team reached the first Boss.

There were only two Bosses in the Ice Castle map. One was the Abyss Totem, while the other one was the tragic Boss standing in front of them—Ice Queen Yaxi.

Yaxi was originally a noble lady who enjoyed hunting as a hobby. She was talented in this area, and when she was 20, she became an Advanced Hunter, which meant she had abilities on par with that of a Level 80 Hunters, who went through two Job-Changes. However, during one of her hunting trips, her battle steed got lost, and she came to the Ice Castle by accident. Since then, she developed a strong interest in the Ice Half-Centaurs, and eventually, she was bewitched to put on the Ice Crown, thereby losing her own consciousness and became the Ice Queen.

The Ice Queen was frozen within a huge ice block. She had delicate features, voluptuous breasts, a tiny waist, and smooth, silk-like thighs with no hints of any fats. One could clearly see those strong muscles in her limbs. What’s even more nose-bleeding was that this perfect body had nothing covering it at all—any normal guy who glanced at it would definitely be aroused.

After all, really, such perfect beauties could only exist in a virtual world! Much as steadfast as Lin Jie was, he also couldn’t help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva when he saw such a body. After stopping for a while, he finally calmed down and commented, “Gray Wind, Little Yuan, put the curses on her.”

“Sure.”

“Yes, leader!”

Abstruse Gray Wind and Qiu Yuan moved in front of the team and threw all kinds of Erode Curses, Corrosive Curses, and Painful Curses on the Ice Queen. While their actions brought down her stats, many dark blisters appeared on her skin and burst open. This ravishing beauty became a gross monster in no time.

All the guys who witnessed this scene felt as if they had seen a fairy being turned to a pile of bones before their eyes. This scene definitely made them turn green. After all, who could bear seeing such a beauty transformed into a monster!?

“Great.” Lin Jie was very much satisfied with this effect.

The Ice Queen was extremely good-looking, and during her attacks, she would resort to all sorts of seductive poses. Much as determined as all the Savage Blade team members were, it was almost impossible to stop all of their thoughts from going astray during the fight. As such, it was necessary to corrode the Ice Queen into such a state!

“Human, how dare you trample on my pride! The ice shall become your grave, and I will send you off to your death!” The Ice Queen opened her eyes, and the crystal-like ice, which surrounded her, immediately cracked apart. Blocks of sharp ice flew straight at the Savage Blade team! There were a total of 50 such Ice Shards, and each shard could cause around 1,500 points of damage. If one were attacked by more than one shard, they would die on the spot!

Shoosh—

Most of the Ice Shards fleeted past the team, and there were only occasional damage figures floating up. After all, each of them in the team had superb dodging abilities, and with Bu Yi’s Power Word Shield protecting them, it wasn’t hard for them to get past this stage.

The Ice Queen had a special mechanism of her own as the first Boss in the Ice Castle map. Her health bar only had 10,000 points, but she was immune against all sorts of attacks. The only way to get rid of her health points would be to get past her skills. At the same time, the Ice Queen would suffer one Ice-type damage point herself per second.

This meant that, no matter how lousy a team was, this battle would be over after 10,000 seconds!

The Ice Queen’s skills would change every 10 minutes. She would not repeat her skills, no matter whether the team that attacked her had successfully overcome them or not. Hence, this required the players to be highly observant, and they must be able to actualize their battling strategies quickly!

Saying that it didn’t mean getting a few dozens of Paladins to wear her down would work. After the Ice Queen had used up 10 skills, she would get into Enraged Mode. During that time, she would throw all sorts of Restricted Curses at the team continuously—and not many teams could hold off such attacks!

“Fat Cattle, Baili, Childe, the three of you observe the paths where those Ice Shards flew. You must hit the small dots in the middle of the shards!” instructed Lin Jie.

His Broken Blade was covered in a layer of flames as he activated Flame Boost! Lin Jie stared carefully at an Ice Shard that flew past him, and with a sudden slash, he hit his target! The power of the burning flames was like a viper, which slithered swiftly into a dark hole, and that shard of ice shattered immediately.

-20!

The Ice Queen let out a painful gasp—a damage value finally appeared!

The Ice Shards were prismatic in shape, and one could only use Fire-type attacks to hit the centremost part in order to deal out a perfect 20 points of damage! This was even harder than hitting the bullseye with an arrow because the target in question now could move!

There were 50 shards, which meant if every one of them was hit perfectly, the Ice Queen would suffer 1,000 points of damage. Repeat the process 10 times and that would make up 10,000 damage points, hence nicely killing off the Ice Queen!

However, this meant that as long as a single mistake was committed, the team would be moved on to the tricky situation of having to handle the Restricted Curse stage.

“Fire Elemental Sword!” Baili Changcheng’s longsword transformed into flames. When he stabbed out, he hit the target! The Ice Shard shattered in response.

-20!

At the same time, Childe also hit his target accurately with his Fire Arrows. He was, after all, an extremely skillful Hunter. Aiming at an object’s weakness for a moving target was a piece of cake for him.

“I, I, I… I don’t have much confidence in this stage,” uttered Domestic Fat Cattle as he held up his wand. However, that was only reasonable as Fire Mages were known for their violent attacks. Most of the skills Domestic Fat Cattle had learned were AOE spells. Even a lousy player in this job would be focusing on skills with Sputter damage, and their normal way of attacks would be to just hurl all the spells at a target area, and that’s it. No matter what, all the flames and sparks that sputtered out would be able to cause a high enough amount of damage.

Yet now Domestic Fat Cattle had to be so accurate in his aiming skills. It was logical that he did not have the confidence to deal out such perfect attacks.

“Don’t attack if you are not confident then,” commented Lin Jie.

From what he knew of the Ice Queen, as long as anyone committed a slight mistake, this battle would become way more difficult than it ought to be!

Although his comment did not sound nice, there were no other better ways of putting it across.

At that moment, the thing which all of them had been worried about happened! When Baili Changcheng stuck out his sword, one of the Ice Shards was only hovering above his sword. His attack hence only caused eight damage points to the Ice Queen, so the team would have to tackle at least one Restricted Curse from her!

This abrupt change of events made everyone have their hearts in their mouths.

“Baili, don’t be overly anxious!” shouted Lin Jie. Tasks that required extremely high accuracy like these would be ruined if a person was not calm enough. Any slight tremor of a hand would result in disastrous outcomes.

On the other hand, Domestic Fat Cattle continued nagging. “WTH kind of Boss is this?! Does this mean we have to make zero errors to take down this Boss? It’s reasonable if this is in a single-person mission, but this is in a dungeon! How can the system expect every single person in a team to be at their perfect state when entering the dungeon? This is definitely unreasonable! Oh, what the—wait a minute!”

Lin Jie had just steadily crushed a piece of Ice Shard to bits when he heard Domestic Fat Cattle’s voice. “Leader, can you throw one of the Ice Shard to my way?”

“What do you want to do?”

“I just want to test out my idea,” commented Fat Cattle cheekily. “No matter what, this round of attacks is already not perfect. Why not let me experiment? Baili, you throw one in my way too!”

Although Lin Jie didn’t know what he was up to, he still stabbed out at one Ice Shard. The moment he hit the target, Lin Jie flicked Broken Blade such that the Ice Shard got lifted and turned sideways. The speeding Ice Shard immediately changed directions and shot towards Fat Cattle.

“Feint!” exclaimed Hardworking Pants. “By using a basic attack action and then withdrawing it at the last moment, the monster would have calculated its dodging path and, hence, changed directions. This is a superb exhibition of a micro-skill!”

Although Hardworking Pants was often despised by Lin Jie’s comments of “A Living job is not considered a man’s job”, he was still very proficient in his knowledge of the game. No matter what kind of skills Lin Jie used in whatever sort of situation, he would be able to immediately point out why and how marvelous it was to use such skills under those circumstances.

The only catch was, Hardworking Pants was never able to exhibit such skills himself. There was, however, a professional term for people like him—Games Commentary!

Baili Changcheng followed what Lin Jie did and threw an Ice Shard at Fat Cattle too.

Domestic Fat Cattle sucked in a deep breath, and he pried open his slit-like eyes on his bubbly face. With a wave of his wand, a Fireball shot out. Following that, he made a cutting action with his right arm, and the Fireball was sliced into halves with that.

“Flames Manipulation!”

The two halves of the Fireball transformed into two Flames Needles, which were shot accurately into both Ice Shards.

Such a round of high-accuracy manipulation brought cold sweat onto Fat Cattle’s forehead.

-20!

-40!

Two damage figures jumped up above the Ice Queen’s head.

“Great job!” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, and he praised from the bottom of his heart. “Baili, both of us will be in charge of throwing the Ice Shards towards Fat Cattle’s direction. Childe, try to use your Multi-Arrows skill. Fat Cattle, you continue with what you did just now.”
