“Hey, try my Subduing Palms!” Qiu Yuan smiled and hit palm after palm. The special dark effect of the Dark Speech spell was used as a blinding effect by her. Lin Jie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, though he had a sense of admiration.

But it had to be said that it was indeed effective. Although Lin Jie could not see anything, he was scared he’d kill her if he attacked.

Lin Jie could not help it but stand still and not fight back.

-35!

-26!

-24!

…

A string of numbers jumped up. After a minute, Lin Jie’s HP was halved…

“I quit! Your defense is as thick as your face. Boring!” Qiu Yuan stood on the spot and said gloomily, “The physical power of the wand is too weak. Should I get an axe instead?”

Lin Jie finally escaped from the infinity loop of blindness. He stared at her and asked, “You want to cut me to death?”

“Planning to.” Qiu Yuan nodded seriously.

Bu Yi smiled and said, “Nah, she’s just joking. Fu Sheng, want to see my new moves too? I’ve also improved!”

Netherblue said with a sad face, “I improved too… in terms of being hit…”

Lin Jie, “…”

It would be better not to continue the discussion, or else the chat would not have a happy ending.

But Qiu Yuan and Bu Yi kept asking about it, so Netherblue told them that she had been kicked down from the mountain by a warrior over 200 times. They held their fists in anger.

“Who the f*ck would kick such a beauty? Must be gay!” barked Qiu Yuan.

“Yeah, gotta be gay!” Bu Yi agreed.

“When I catch him, I will cut his cucumber into pieces!”

“Yes, cut his cucumber-” Bu Yi stopped and glared at Qiu Yuan.

Netherblue coughed and said to Fu Sheng, “I’ve already sent you the details of Belief Church. Have you seen it? Especially the first Boss, its skills are too powerful. Normal people would not have a way to beat that.”

Lin Jie smiled and said, “I’m a normal person too.”

Netherblue said, “You will figure something out.”

Lin Jie opened up the tent and said, “Come in.”

Dejected Night, Mixed Breathless, Unexpected Childe, Star Kill, and Lost Camel were sitting in the tent. They nodded at the visitors.

“I will not introduce one by one. Come, we need to do something now.” Lin Jie took out a die and said, “Come roll it.”

Everyone was shocked. What was going on?”

Unexpected Childe smiled and said, “I’m good at dice! Come!”

Pia! 1!

Lost Camel mocked, “That’s all you got? My turn.”

Pia! 1!

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.

Everyone seemed to have bad luck. Other than Qiu Yuan who got a 5, the rest were all around 3.

“6!” Zheng Ziliang rolled randomly and laughed. He picked it up and rolled it again.

6!

“Lucky day!”

Lin Jie smiled and took out a stack of Middle-Grade Light Enchanted Scrolls and said, “Unequip your equipment. Ziliang, you will do the enhancement.”

Netherblue checked the attributes of the Light Enchanted Scroll and asked in surprise, “Where did you get this? It completely counters the first Boss!”

Indeed, the strength of the first Boss was that it could use Flares infinitely. The scrolls could reduce Light damage!

If one player had five enchanted equipment, it would be much easier to clear the first Boss!

But who could afford such an expense? A team had at least ten people, and each needed five for the enchantment to be successful. The probability of success was less than 50%. Thus, they needed 100 scrolls, which was equivalent to 10,000 points!

Before entering the dungeon, players looked down at points. They only kept enough to enter the dungeon and exchange the rest with Tyrese for equipment and points. What a waste! When the City of Light Central Auction House was buying points, they were selling points as long as they got one! It was rare for them to have more than 100 points.

Lin Jie did not keep it a secret and smiled. “As long as you accumulate more than 1,000 points, the second part of Tyrese’s shop will open. These are available.”

Zheng Ziliang had finished enchanting. After all, he got sixes in a roll, so he got a fairly good success rate. Everyone now had five enchanted equipment, with Light reduction of 75!

They were ready!

Lin Jie started the party and invited the rest.

“What should our name be?” Lin Jie looked at Netherblue and smiled.

Netherblue’s eyes lit up, and she took a deep breath. “Just go with Savage Blade, though it doesn’t sound good.”

Lin Jie was speechless…

Everyone smiled and headed towards the dungeon.

The entrance of Belief Church was located in a garden far away. The entrance would occasionally spawn elite monsters.

“3 Level 15 bandits waiting for 12 Bandits! Pure damage! We will become famous if we make it! Join us!”

“Hiring pure Hunters! Assassin Hunter favored! Pet Hunters, please leave. Thanks!”

Since healing was nullified after the Boss entered Enrage mode, many people started to wonder if they could clear it by not having a healer at all! So this kind of thing happened.

Exploring dungeon was indeed a pleasant procedure, but it was difficult too.

—”You are about to enter the main mission dungeon Belief Church. Team members: 11, are you sure?”

Yes!

The scenery changed, and the surroundings became dark and gloomy. Belief Church was divided into four areas: Shadow, Light, Weapon, and the last: Belief.

“Erm, what are you doing?” Qiu Yuan winked at Zheng Ziliang as she saw him doing something at the back, as though he did not want anyone to find out.

Zheng Ziliang smiled awkwardly and said, “Nothing, get ready.”

Qiu Yuan looked at him with a puzzled look and made a funny sound.

“BUFF!” yelled Lin Jie.

The Light Glows!

Battle Cry!

Power Word Toughen!

Bandit Master! (Critical Hit 3%)

The first area was Shadow, where Spellcaster of Light were refreshed.

Spellcaster of Light: Level 15 Elite, HP: 11,000

One batch of Spellcaster of Light consisted of 15 of them, each could summon 2 to 4 Shadow Walker of the same attributes. That was the difficult part. If they were unlucky, there would be 70 to 80 of them in just one wave. They would be wiped out in an instant.

“Spellcaster of Light has low attack, about only 240. Since we have light devour, the damage will only be about 150. The problem is with Shadow Walkers, their attacks do not have an attribute-less. We cannot tank them all. Unexpected, it’s your turn to shine!”

Unexpected Childe said in a weird voice, “You are not planning to let me lure hundreds of monsters for hours, are you?”

Lin Jie said in a serious voice, “No worries! This time will be thousands!”

“NO!” retorted Unexpected Childe.

“No balls. I will do it,” said Lost Camel.

“Do your head. This requires skills, okay? I will do it,” said Unexpected Childe and took out his longbow.

The crowd was speechless. It was easier to provoke him to take up the job instead of inviting him.

Mixed Breathless approached the shadow area. The crowd of Spellcaster of Light could easily mix up the hatred of monsters, and thus high-standard pullers were required. If the bullets hit two waves of monsters, then it would be a GG!

Bang—

The bullet dropped right on the edge of the hearing of Spellcaster of Light!

“O’ my dark servants come at once!” 15 Spellcaster of Light summoned together. The team’s luck was bad today as 60 Shadow Walkers were summoned!

“Come here!” Unexpected Childe threw a Misdirection. The string of the bow was sizzling, with sparkles at the tip of the arrows.

Explosive Arrow!

The cheap fire powder exploded, and many 1 damage points appeared. Though the damage was little, it had high hatred. The dark, mist-like Shadow Walkers went for Unexpected Childe. He turned to run and attack at the same time, with high precision such that he would still have the hatred from the monsters.

“Forward Charge!”

“Forward Charge!”

Mixed Breathless and Water used Forward Charge at the same time. With the consecutive hits from the shield strike, Mixed Breathless had hatred from 5 monsters in just 2 seconds. Water was a bit clumsy, he only had the hatred of 2 monsters.

That was the difference between the two Shield Specialists! Mixed Breathless did not waste any time between each attack. The moment his sword was withdrawn from the attack, his shield was out and interrupted a channeling Spellcaster of Light. With his right leg kick, he got another aggro of the spellcaster. Before the attack was even completed, he used a Taunt. The entire process was so perfect that it could be called a textbook one.

On the other hand, Water had a much slower speed. He only used his shield to build up the aggro. That was very inefficient.

He looked at Mixed Breathless and tried to copy him. He learned from the experience and tried his best to get the aggro.

“Damage!” yelled Mixed Breathless.

“According to my marks!” Lost Camel used a Hunter’s Mark on one of the Spellcaster of Light. It received 5% more damage.

“Woof!” Lost Camel’s rare elite wolf howled in a dog-like manner and bit the Spellcaster of Light on the buttock. The monster’s cloth was torn.

Armor Break!

The best part of the wolf was that it could trigger percentage Armor Break. It was especially effective against high-defense monsters.

Qiu Yuan, Lin Jie, Netherblue and Star Kill rushed to the monsters and used a series of skills. With the Armor Break and additional damage from Hunter’s Mark, the health bar of Spellcaster of Light drained quickly, and soon it was dead.

The moment it was dead, the Hunter’s Mark and wolf quickly changed onto another enemy. The team quickly went after it.

Army Obliteration!

-345!

-702! (Critical Hit)

-418!

Lin Jie’s skills cleared more than a thousand of Spellcaster of Light’s health!

The monster’s head turned and used Soul Fire right on Lin Jie’s face!

-64!

“Sorry…” Water used Shield Strike and finally pulled the aggro back. But the aggro from other monsters was weakened, and they started to wander off.

Mixed Breathless yelled and rushed forward with his shield. All the monsters were gathered at the same spot. Water used another Shield Attack, and the aggro was finally stabilized.

“Shield is not the only thing that you should use! You have to use every part of your body,” said Mixed Breathless in a low voice. “An attack will be wasted if it’s only for aggro! It has to interrupt the attacks’ skills!”

“Okay!” replied Water modestly.

Only four people were standing at far.

Lost Camel’s Hunter’s Mark did delay in the least, and it landed right on everyone’s target. The wolf too broke the armor of the target instantly. The two’s macro was indeed powerful.

Bu Yi’s Power Word Shield was on time too. Every time before Mixed Breathless and Water received an attack, the shield would always appear, maximizing its potential.

Dejected Night was an Ice Mage. Although he had a low attack, he had excellent control skills. He was a perfect example of Mixed Breathless’ theory. Every Ice Arrow would extinguish the Soul Fires on the Spellcaster of Lights’ hand.

As for Zheng Ziliang… Dejected Night looked at him and frowned. He asked, “Bro, where is your summoned pet?”

Zheng Ziliang smiled and said, “Sorry, I forgot.”

Dejected Night was puzzled. Zheng Ziliang had been doing nothing yet his eyes were rolling around at high speed, as though… he was recording everything?!
