Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 439 - 439 Ambush

439 Ambush

“Young warrior, if you wish to understand the essence of Berserker’s consecutive strikes, you can follow in my footsteps and train in Blade Peak Canyon. You may be able to learn something there.” Wind Rider Sword Saint waved his hand, and a system prompt message popped up: Location of Blade Point Canyon.

There was an additional marking on Lin Jie’s small map. It was a symbol of a blade.

Blade Peak Canyon was a hidden map. It stood high, soaring into the clouds as if thousands of blades gathered to form a giant mountain. Players could not enter it under normal circumstances. However, after attaining the “secret legend” reward from Wind Rider Sword Saint, Lin Jie gained access to it.

It was just nicely a Level 55 map with powerful monsters, suitable for leveling up. Lin Jie looked at the small map and said respectfully, “Thank you.”

“Haha, I can see the shadow of the God of War in you. Good luck.” Wind Rider Sword Saint laughed. He suddenly said, “If you bring that human of the alternate realm that could use Seven Spinning Slash to me, I can give you additional reward.”

Lin Jie pursed his lips, and his thoughts darkened, ‘You’re making me bring Character Z to you so that you can teach him? I’ll only do something like that if I lose my goddamn mind!’

Wind Rider Sword Saint kept his Seven Swords and tossed over a transparent map to Eighteen Massacres. His body spun and suddenly disappeared. “Human of the alternate realm, this is my reward to you. You did not make a decision for too long, so I’ll give you a tool. I have to continue exploring the ruins and regain my strength. Goodbye.”

Whoosh!

Their visions blurred as Wind Rider Sword Saint turned into a tornado and disappeared. This NPC would be spinning in the ruins for a long time. If players run into him, they would be able to gain a mission from him and rewards.

Lin Jie glanced at the tool in Eighteen Massacres. However, Eighteen Massacres was quick-witted and kept it immediately. He took two steps back and said, “We’ve finished exploring the ruins. Let’s go.”

“Yes.” Lin Jie nodded.

In this exploration trip, although the tangible rewards were not much, Lin Jie had gained a new field to enter. And the requirement to enter this field was to hit 100 Consecutive Strikes! He had already started to plan his technique training. Without a doubt, the hidden map, Blade Peak Canyon, suggested by Wind Rider Sword Saint, was the best choice.

A space gap formed, leading to the outside world.

Eighteen Massacres left first, with Lin Jie following closely behind.

Ding~

—”You have explored a ruin and completed the achievement [Explorer]. Your Health Points have increased by 10. You have started progress on achieving [Continental Explorer]. You will receive an additional reward after exploring another ruin.”

The achievement [Continental Explorer] required a player to explore over 30 ruins. The first player to achieve this would be rewarded with an Epic Explorer Sword. There was also a legend saying that the strongest title, [King of Explorers], could be attained. However, nobody had achieved it In Lin Jie’s previous life.

After Line Jie was teleported outside of the ruins, the system prompt message began popping up like crazy!

—”Player Wild Silkworm started a malicious attack against you. You have 30 minutes of official defense time.”

—”Player Chaos In The Sky started a malicious attack against you...”

—”Player Hardworking Pants started a malicious attack against you...”

At that moment, the trap beneath his feet exploded. It was an Explosive Hunter Trap! Lin Jie was startled and took a few steps back. Just as he was about to cast Holy Light Winged Armor, someone struck him on his head, causing him to see stars. Chaos In The Sky appeared from behind me while laughing hysterically. Following that, Lin Jie was shocked to see that there was a large magic circle under him. The glowing outlines of the magic circle turned into thick chains.

“An Enchant Master’s magic circle? How could it be?” Lin Jie’s pupils constricted. The magic circle condensed into a large chain, which trapped Lin Jie!

Magic circle! Only a Mid-Level Mage would be able to form a magic circle, which was considered a strategic tool in battles. In the future large battles between two parties of similar strength, the magic circle of an Enchant Master, would be the one determining the winner! However, who was able to use a tool like this now?

Lin Jie’s eyes saw past the flames from the explosive traps and locked onto an ordinary young man. He had Arcane Dust left on his hands, and his body was surrounded by faint magic. He was the one who had created the magic circle! Initially, this man called Hardworking Pants was an unknown Enchant Master in Twilight Transmigration. By coincidence, he had attained the heritage of an Enchant Master through battle. He then became famous and was now an elite member.

“Magic Design, Prison’s Seal!”

Hardworking Pants nodded at Lin Jie politely as a greeting. His hands moved, and the chains in the magic circle turned tangible, sealing Lin Jie in it.

“Hehehe... Lone Wolf, we meet again!” Chaos In The Sky appeared with a smirk in front of Lin Jie out of nowhere like a ghost. He said smugly, “The few of us here have waited a long time for you.”

Character Z appeared from the bushes, smiling. “Lone Wolf, you may have escaped last time, but it’s impossible for you to do so now. However, I’ll still send you an invitation. Bring Savage Blade and join Twilight Transmigration. The feud between us will be water under the bridge, and I’m even willing to treat you generously.”

At that moment, the Enchant Master’s Prison’s Seal was in effect. Lin Jie was unable to move, and his skills were temporarily sealed for 3 seconds. Furthermore, he was unable to use any attack.

“This Prison’s Seal can only be created by a Mid-Level Enchant Master. On top of that, it requires over three hours to be made. You guys spent so much time making a magic circle to catch me. Seems like you are pretty well informed...” Lin Jie said calmly, even in this dangerous situation, and stood proudly with his head high. Then he scoffed. “But, it’s still not good enough to catch me! Against the Wind, start!”

Against the Wind allowed the user to temporarily gain immunity to any movement restriction skill!

Whoosh—

Lin Jie broke out of the Prison’s Seal! He directed Broken Blade at Hardworking Pants. Among this crowd, Character Z’s whirlwind could restrain his weapon while Chaos In The Sky’s speed was too fast to kill him... In the end, the Living-job Enchant Master was the easiest to defeat.

“Naive! Sun Swordsmanship! Seven Swords Formation!”

Clang—

Not sure when but Eighteen Massacres’ body appeared from the corner. In his hands was an ancient scroll that was glowing brightly. It was the reward that he had received from Wind Rider Sword Saint!

[Seven Swords Formation Spell Scroll]: Spell Scroll. You can use the Seven Swords Formation once. It can only be used with “Sun Swordsmanship”. Summons 7 Sun Swords with 2,200 Health Points. It decreases all of a target’s stats by 40% and creates a sun battlefield. Before all 7 swords are destroyed, the target cannot escape. The sun swords deal damage that is equal to 100% of your attack.

That’s right, this was the reward from Wind Rider Sword Saint!

Since a long time ago, Eighteen Massacres and Character Z had already made the plan to ambush Lin Jie outside of the Sun Ruins! Otherwise, how was Eighteen Massacres able to swallow his anger no matter how Lin Jie humiliated him in the Ancient Wilderness Temple? He was hiding it! He had firmly believed that Lin Jie would be killed the moment they left the Sun Ruins!

The humiliation he faced shall be the price to pay for attaining Broken Blade!

Eighteen Massacres looked at him ferociously. However, in an instant, the scroll was opened, a soft prompt message popped up:

—System Prompt message: You have used [Seven Swords Formation Spell Scroll], You successfully understood [Seven Swords Formation]!

Eighteen Massacres grasped the skill! He actually learned the skill on the scroll! Everyone knew that when using certain spell scrolls, there was a 10% chance of learning the skill. However, after being tested by players, the rate was actually less than 1%. Eighteen Massacres’ eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie was facing the most dangerous situation he had ever been in!

He never thought that Eighteen Massacres would be able to learn this skill! He had already expected that Twilight Transmigration would ambush him here, but he had a plan. He wanted to take this opportunity to practice his consecutive strikes. He was someone who could not afford to die since he would drop the Broken Blade the moment he was dead! And now, he wanted to refine himself with the threat of death so close.

No matter how bad it was, Lin Jie would be able to escape easily with a random teleportation scroll along with his skills.

However, the Seven Swords Formation had ruined all his plans! Seven swords danced in the air with flames like mercury dripping down the blades, burning the ground. This was the sun battlefield. Even if Lin Jie knew the Mage Skill [Blink], he would still be unable to escape. He would have to destroy the seven swords first. Before he could do that, he would be tortured in the battlefield until he was killed.

‘I played with fire and got burnt.’ Lin Jie’s heart thumped. He knew that he was done for this time. The threat of death was here! However, he was also not completely unprepared. Before entering the Sun Ruins, he had already made a move and sent a message to Inksnow. Triumphant Midnight should be nearby now! He thought about it so far and sent Inksnow his coordinates immediately.

When someone sent a message, their eyes would be staring blankly towards the front and would be caught easily by other people. As such, Lin Jie only sent his coordinates and dared not type anything else. His expression changed, and he smiled broadly. “Let’s talk it out... What feud do we have between us? Isn’t this all caused by Baili Xuanyuan behind our backs? It’s not completely out of the table for Savage Blade to join the guild...”

Character Z’s eyes lit, and he asked in shock, “Oh? You are agreeing?”

Eighteen Massacres panicked. He cried out, “Don’t listen to him! This person is known to be scheming and cunning in the City of Light. Think about how he took over the mole I planted and caused us to be wiped out! Let’s kill him first and guard the cemetery. After we deal with this fellow, we will have a lot of time for discussions!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Eighteen Massacres, what do you mean that I made use of your mole? Didn’t we work together, and you helped me to wipe out Twilight Transmigration once in exchange for 30,000 gold coins to help you make a comeback? Look here, I’ve kept all the logs of our video transmission.” Lin Jie waved his hand, and a picture appeared in the air. It was the log of his video transmissions! It clearly stated that Eighteen Massacres had accepted video recordings from Savage Blade.

Lin Jie sowed discord like a pro. If the enemy was a small team, it would have been difficult to pull off. After all, small teams had stronger bonds. However, as for now... Character Z was also a sly businessman who was filled with skepticism. After hearing Lin Jie’s words, he frowned instantly. He was struck speechless, and his eyes began darting around Eighteen Massacres.
