Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 359: Supplementary Sword Upgrade

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Phantom Orb was stuck tightly in the pocket with the dagger at the deepest part of the Weapon Belt. If Lin Jie had not searched intensely, he would not have found it.

[Phantom Orb]: Symbol of a Phantom Thief. Once you reach Level 40, find the Phantom Thief, and he may explain some things to you. (Note: Item will explode when the holder dies)

“Phantom Orb?” Lin Jie suddenly recalled a television drama from 100 years ago, titled “My Own Swordsman”. In the show, there was a thief called Bai Yutang, who had a token, which was his identity, as well as an item that equaled to his lifeline.

This Phantom Orb was a symbol of a Phantom Thief! He had no idea how Demon Robe had managed to get it.

However, seeing that the item had the stats where it would explode after death, Lin Jie could tell that it was no ordinary item. At the very least, it was an important item for Demon Robe, who was a Bandit. After finding the Wind Rider Sword Saint, Lin Jie had learned to use Blade Aura Executioner, which had leveled up to become Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner. As a result, he had a great advantage in the early stages. Even now, Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner was an essential skill for Lin Jie as a good AOE skill. If he were to lose this skill, his attacks and leveling proficiency would drop drastically.

The Phantom Thief and Wind Rider Sword Saint were heroes from the same era.

Lin Jie kept the treasure into his bag, which was full of great loots, and patted it happily. It would explode when the holder died... He still had the Broken Blade on him, so no matter what, he would never die. Even if there were to be dozens of items that would explode after death, he was not the least bit worried!

However, there was still an important thing to do.

He turned his hands around, and the sharp Supplementary Sword appeared on the palm of his hand. On top of that, there was a huge hammer! The silver-gray hammer was extremely heavy as if it was made and cut out from a large piece of dark ore. It was indeed a weapon dropped from the Dark Waters Kingsnake!

[Decayed Stone Hammer] (Dark Gold Fragment)

Requires: Level 35, Strength: 250 and above

Attack: 351-455

Strength: +35

Wisdom: +35

Endurance: +35

Attack Level: +12, Critical Hit Level: +10

Block: +3%, Strength Judgement: +10%

Additional effect: Increase one level of Hammers of Discipline

Additional effect: There is a 3% chance of stunning the target when you attack

Note: The Decayed Stone Hammer is an incomplete Dark Gold weapon. You need to find the Water Stone Hammer and fuse it with the gem in order to unleash all of its strength.

Dark Gold Fragment, Decayed Stone Hammer! This weapon for Retribution Paladins had a high attack, strong additional effects, and doubled the stats for Attack and Critical Hit levels. It was an upgrade for the Hammers of Discipline... The only flaw of such a great weapon was that the Strength requirement level was too high.

The basic stats to increase for Paladins was Endurance. Even for Retribution Paladins, three points had to be added to Endurance before Strength was even considered. Furthermore, Paladins needed to increase their Wisdom as well since they used many magic skills during battle.

Paladins had always been a job that required high Wisdom stats, and even more so for Retribution Paladins.

It would require a Paladin to level up his job and attain a Mystic Skill Book in order to reach 250 points in Strength. As such, Lin Jie was willing to feed the hammer to the blade. After the Supplementary Sword had devoured the Mara Armor, it had become restless. Maybe if it devoured another item, it would evolve!

“Here, eat it,” said Lin Jie as he moved the Decayed Stone Hammer towards the Broken Blade.

The blade began to stir and devoured the giant hammer. A stream of air that was visible to the naked eye streamed slowly into the sword.

It was as if a large snake had engulfed a bull in one bite.

The body of the Supplementary Sword slowly expanded, and the Broken Blade grew by a few centimeters. The reflection from the blade was bright, and the sword was dazzling.

[Metallic Supplementary Sword] (Gold)

No job restriction

Requires: Equipping of the Heritage Broken Blade

Attack: 100-200

Strength: +20

Endurance: +20

Additional effect: When used with the Broken Blade, the cooldown period will be the same as the Broken Blade. The interval between each Broken Blade attack will be reduced by 60%.

‘The cooldown time has decreased again? Is the upgrade for this Supplementary Sword increasing the attack speed of Broken Blade?’ Lin Jie began slashing with the blade. Initially, he could only deliver five hits at a time. Now, after his fifth blow, he was able to send another hit flying!

Although it seemed as if the Supplementary Sword upgrade was not significant, it actually had a strong effect! Its importance was even on par with the Broken Blade.

‘What a shame, the flesh, scales, and bones of the Dark Waters Kingsnake were all absorbed by the Sea King Scaly Armor and not even a single strand of hair was left behind. Otherwise, I could’ve gotten a dozen more materials for Gold equipment.’ When Lin Jie recalled the sight in the Arcane Cage, he smiled.

The Dark Waters Kingsnake was large and strong. However, when facing Lin Jie, it had fallen over with a push just like a paper tiger!

The most fearsome part about the Dark Waters Kingsnake was its scales! In his past life, a player had come up with a way to defeat it. The plan was to first use the Hunter Skill [False Death] to remove aggro, and then use the pet [Famer’s Pig] to gain the ability to break armor. The ability would allow one to slice off the scales of the Dark Waters Kingsnake and kill it.

However, Lin Jie had the Dragon Armor Removal Skill—Who do you want to have their scales peeled? Just find Lone Wolf in The New Age! For Lin Jie, there was no need for him to even lift his finger to remove the scales of the Dark Waters Kingsnake and kill it.

After defeating the Dark Waters Kingsnake, Lin Jie had successfully attained a drop of crystal water.

[Dark Source Water]: Randomly increases 2 to 5 Stats by 2 to 60 points each, can only be used once a day.

‘Such a pity, there’s only one drop. If players can get the entire water source and drink it every day, wouldn’t everybody in Dark Shrine becomes Ultraman?’ Lin Jie looked at the drop of crystal source water in his hand, and the corner of his lips lifted into a peculiar smile.

Mesosaprobic Shrine Teleportation Entrance.

The battle was ongoing!

The bloodbath was endless, and all players were seeing red! Among those people, there were guilds, teams, solo players. And even some mercenary groups. They were fighting in all directions and picking up equipment.

Savage Blade had teamed up with thousands of players from Brotherhood and was in a heated battle.

The opponent was Mage Heavens!

The guild had been created by Baili Xuanyuan. However, ever since they had formed the Three Alliances with Dark-Robed Knights and Kingdom of Glory, Mage Heavens had kept a low profile, with only Eighteen Massacres causing trouble. At this moment, it was the first time Mage Heavens was revealing its strength! They were so powerful that the Savage Blade members were completely stunned.

Everyone in Mage Heavens had an average level of 31, and they were all equipped with Gold equipment. They had a team formation that could take down individual players. This group of players huddled together and cast countless of raining spells as if they were an invincible artillery! The Mages were a moving artillery. Mage Heavens was known for its powerful Mages. In Lin Jie’s past life, Mage Heavens alone had 3 Legendary Mages and even a Grand Curse Master!

There were raging wind and snow, bursting flames, and lightning strikes. It was just like an elemental hell. Even with Forward Charge, the Brotherhood players could barely take a step forward, and they were killed off one by one!

“Old Shield, Star Kill, protect me!” said Domestic Fat Cattle as he held his wand tightly. A wave of elements erupted and gathered together to form fire runes, calling upon strong explosions!

Blazing Fire Rain!

The Mages were referred to as an “artillery” because they were able to use such terrifying AOE skills! However, the skills were restrictive and could be easily disrupted. They were at a stalemate, and without Lone Wolf here, Domestic Fat Cattle had to use large spells to turn the tide!

“Okay! Defense mode, Heart Defense!” The Heavenly Shield took a step back, and a heavy shield, the height of two men, was inserted into the ground. He had used Heart Defense on Fat Cattle!

[Heart Defense]: An ally is chosen as a target for protection. When the target is attacked, 150% of the damage will be transferred to you instead. When you use a support skill on the target with Heart Defense, the damage you receive from the next attack will be reduced by 30%, and the amount of damage received will be recovered as health for the target.

Whoosh!

Just as Domestic Fat Cattle was gathering Mana, 10 Druids came out in waves from the air! The Druids turned into panthers and rushed towards Fat Cattle’s back. It would be an instakill if they were to succeed!

“Intervene!” The Heavenly Shield cried out. He rushed towards his side and raised his shield, blocking the attacks of 5 Druids! Each attack dealt over 200 points of damage, yet they were considered peanuts to The Heavenly Shield. Using Shield Attack, the Druids were pushed back and stunned.

The other five Druids were not affected by the Crowd Control Skill and turned into bears immediately. They let out a roar. It was [Roaring Shockwave], which could interrupt skills!

“They dare to send over a few trash to ambush us?” Star Kill huffed coldly. His dagger had already pierced through the heads of two gigantic bears, like a poisonous snake, with Ambush! In the blink of an eye, he had landed a Critical Hit on the third Druid with a kick. His body spun in the air with lightning speed as he aimed for the head of the fourth Druid. Finally, the fifth Druid was knocked back with Burst!

Ambush!

Kick!

Gouge!

Burst!

The four skills were executed seamlessly. In the blink of an eye, the roars of the five bears were interrupted before they could be completed. On top of that, the fifth Druid was appalled after receiving 800 points of damage with Burst.

Just then, Mixed Breathless cried out, “Be careful! A Silence Arrow is headed towards you guys! Darn it! Mass Taunt, Attack Diversion!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Fireballs, ice spears, lightning, and arrows in the sky, and even the swords and blades of the Warriors landed on Mixed Breathless’ shield! With so many attacks, even Ironman would be smashed into pieces. Mixed Breathless’ health points dropped drastically. He was on the brink of death!

+374! +374!

+450!

Rays of light descended upon him, and a Power Word Shield was also cast on him. Bu Yi continuously cast Heal-Over-Time(HOT) skills along with quick-click to heal Mixed Breathless’ health bar completely. Lastly, she used a large Healing Spell and recovered 850 health points!

Mixed Breathless could remain standing!

“F*ck, such amazing HOT skills!” The Mages in Mage Heavens could not help but cry out in awe.

HOT skills were the most powerful heals for Priests. It took around 0.2 seconds for a player’s health to drop. A powerful Priest could cast the spell at the right time just when the health points were falling, which was essentially increasing the limit of the health bar!

There was no trace of the usual gentleness on Bu Yi’s face as she waved her wand. Just before, the Ocean’s Heart turned freezing cold. Something must have happened to Lin Jie! He was unable to teleport through the Ocean’s Heart. Did that mean he was no longer able to fight?

No!

After saving Mixed Breathless, Bu Yi chanted a healing spell. In the past, she could only reach two quick-clicks. However, she could reach five quick-clicks now! She had grown a lot in the period without Lin Jie accompanying her.

“Little Yuan, I’m running out of Mana. Transfer some Mana to me! In this type of battle, my attacks are better than yours,” said Bu Yi.

Qiu Yuan was holding a Mana Dagger and in the midst of casting Dark Fog. ‘What straightforward and harsh words, did they really come out of her mouth?’

“Okay! Magic Transfer!” Qiu Yuan canceled her skill immediately and transferred all her Mana to Bu Yi using the Dark Priest’s skill.
