Iron Beetle King: Level 35 Elite, Health Points: 20,000

Inksnow did not have Lin Jie’s Identify, so her inspection of the monster’s attributes was not complete, and she only roughly obtained its basic attributes.

Although she was still cautious, it could not be helped that she belittled the monster in her heart. After all, she was a person who had stood at the top for a long time and faced countless powerful monsters. Other than the basic resting time, she was basically tanking the damage for her teammates in dungeons all the time, but if it was PK with other players, then her experience would be lacking.

With Inksnow’s ability, she could singlehandedly fight 10 Level 35 Elites without breaking a sweat. No matter how many of them were present, she could totally block them all, just that her damage would not be enough to kill them all. Therefore, it was no wonder that she would underestimate the Iron Beetle King as she was facing only one Elite.

“Sound Shockwave!”

“Bite!”

The Iron Beetle King, which was the size of a small mountain, let out shrill screams as though thousands of locusts rubbed their wings, sound waves followed one after the other. The Sound Shockwave could cause the target to be bound for 1.5 seconds, and together with the Bite attack, the damage was not low.

Inksnow shouted lightly and activated Passionate Resistance to be immune to the control effect of a non-physical type attack. Inksnow waved her shield, and the tip of her shield drew out the shape of a dragon repeatedly. She then charged towards the Beetle King and banged right into it.

One could only hear a loud bang as the two of them collided, but the huge Beetle King actually could not stand the impact of the collision and stepped back by one step.

-23!

“It really is only a normal Elite?” Inksnow stood there proudly, her slim figure then sprinted forward as fast as lightning, and the Fiery Dragon Shield left a horrendous crack on the ground as she charged towards the Iron Beetle King. “Let’s end this quickly and not waste any more time.”

Boom—

Shield Strike!

It accurately banged into the belly of the Beetle King, and the powerful collision force nearly smashed its hard shell completely.

Shield Attack!

Inksnow used her shield to attack again, and with a vigorous push, the Iron Beetle King lost its balance. Immediately after, Inksnow’s power was completely unleashed. The shield had the vigor and vitality of a tiger in her hands and smashed onto the Iron Beetle King’s body continuously. One could only see its shell start cracking, and 100 Damage Dealt kept popping up.

There was only one way for Shield Specialists to deal damage, and that was to rely on attacking, blocking, and Parry to accumulate points, then use Reflective Shield to counter attacks. Inksnow’s attack was swift, like thunder, and rapidly accumulated enough points. She dropped her body, and using the bottom of the shield as though a sharp blade, she slashed through the belly of the Iron Beetle King!

Reflective Shield!

-1,203!

It was unimaginable that a Shield Specialist – a job that was famous for their Defense – had such a high explosion of strength! Not only so, after Inksnow had attacked, it was obvious she still had energy to spare. She made use of the remaining momentum that had yet to disperse from the power of spinning and spun once again; the second Reflective Shield struck yet again!

-1,203!

Consecutive Reflective Shields could only be used by the top skilled Shield Specialists. The attacking action of Reflective Shield was for the body to spin 270 degrees and attack using the blade of the shield! This annoying spinning angle was castigated by countless Shield Specialists as that attack only needed half a round to complete, the remaining 90 degrees was unnecessary.

Meanwhile, to expert Shield Specialists, they could make use of it and by using the remaining momentum to use Reflective Shield continuously!

Pish—

The Iron Beetle King was finally unable to endure Inksnow’s powerful attacks, and dark green blood spurted out. A few drops of blood had been spilled onto Inksnow, the thick and smelly blood made her feel uncomfortable all over.

“Too smelly.” Inksnow frowned but then realized in horror that as the blood fell onto her, small Zergs… were actually hatched!

Feng Yun looked at Inksnow calmly and shook his head. “So troublesome, how careless of me to fight the wrong person. But, if I can kill the main MT of Triumphant Midnight once, then that would be quite good.

“Did you think that my Iron Beetle King would really be beaten up so badly by you without any retaliation? You really are naive. Rapid Hatching, Righteous Glory!” In Feng Yun’s hands was a ball of Holy Light that had already gathered to the size of half a human. From when Inksnow had started battling to now, he had finally finished channeling the magic.

Righteous Glory: Your allies will enter the Glory status where all stats will be increased by 5%, and their attacks will have an additional 20 points of Holy damage. With every additional caster of Righteous Glory present, the effects will be increased by two times. There can be at most 20 casters present, everyone in the Glory status will die after 3 minutes.

Righteous Glory, it was a suicidal skill and the skill that Paladins used by putting their lives on the line. In Lin Jie’s previous life, once two guilds PK and one of the guilds’ Paladins had all activated Righteous Glory to fight to the death. That scene had been extremely spectacular. However, such a suicidal skill was quite useless as even if it was within the dungeons, one would be forced to lose a level after using the skill, and normally people would not be willing to drop a level.

However, that skill was extremely useful in the hands of Feng Yun. The Zergs his pet Artherga hatched were originally cannon fodder, so even if all of them died, Feng Yun would not even bat an eye. All those Zergs were enhanced with an additional 20 points of Holy damage, together with the additional enhancements and their enormous numbers, they could be called the Army of Enraged Zergs.

Inksnow instantly understood the opponent’s intentions. Even when appalled, she could not help but admire his miraculous idea. Seeing how hundreds of Zergs, which had been enhanced with Righteous Glory, attacked, Inksnow hurriedly calmed herself down and pulled out the skill column. She then locked on her gaze to a blood-red skill.

Sacrificial Shield Fortress: You unleash the maximum potential of the shield and obtain a Health Points Defense Shield that is equal to one’s Shield Defense x10. Within the time where the Defense Shield lasts, your Movement Speed will increase by 20% and lasts at most 30 seconds. After the skill ends, the upper limit of your shield’s durability will be decreased by 10% and enter attrition status.

The Paladin in front of Inksnow was not counted as strong to her as there were plenty of people who had the ability to defeat him completely. However, Inksnow was unable to fight to her true abilities due to his battling method being incompatible with her. Thus, without any other choice, she could only use that ultimate skill to survive.

“Sacrificial Shield!” Inksnow shouted lightly, and her Fiery Dragon Shield shone brightly. Rays of light from the shied rose into the sky and gathered to form shields made of light, which enveloped Inksnow as if she was an egg. That Sacrificial Shield had a total of 4,500 points of Defense Shield value! She looked at Feng Yun coldly and then quickly retreated.

“Hmph, Triumphant Midnight, Inksnow? I never expected to be able to kill such a famous person.”

A cold snort was heard while a pair of fingers, which were as thin and long as a skeleton, touched Inksnow’s pouch lightly. Two silver coins were stolen from it, and the master of those hands helplessly rolled his eyes—he was very speechless as to only obtaining two silver coins as his loot. In the next instant, he flipped his dagger and slashed towards the back of Inksnow’s head.

That Bandit did not forget to use his skill Theft even before attacking, so he was obviously an expert that had raised the skill’s proficiency until the skill was etched into his heart.

The effects of a Bandit’s Theft was not very good before Level 20 as it was only able to steal bronze coins and random stuff, most of the time one would not be able to steal anything. Only those with extremely good luck could steal items like silver coins.

Chaos In The Sky!

The best Bandit in Twilight Transmigration was different from normal Bandits as his job was “Shadower”, a hidden job of a Bandit. They would approach without casting a shadow and leave without leaving a trace. Also, their stealing abilities were much more powerful than normal Bandits. In exchange, their attacking power and control abilities would be weaker accordingly.

However, since Chaos In The Sky dared to claim that he was the best Bandit, he naturally had to be extraordinary in some way. His dagger was the Silver weapon Cursed Fang. Although its grade was low, he had kept on using it till now. Its effect gave it a 2% chance of casting a random Level 3 Curse to the target each time he attacked. Hence, in coordination with his fast attacking speed, that dagger was more useful than most of the other daggers.

Pish—

Chaos In The Sky’s dagger slashed onto Inksnow’s Defense Shield and created a crack that was hard to notice. The special effect of the Cursed Fang had activated by luck, and a shred of faint dark aura entered Inksnow’s armor. In that instant, Inksnow’s Movement Speed decreased by 30%, and she had to endure Chaos In The Sky’s subsequent attacks, causing the health points of the Defense Shield to decrease non-stop.

“Go, Zergs!” Feng Yun also took the chance to order the Zergs to attack Inksnow.

“Twilight Transmigration’s Feng Yun? Chaos In The Sky?” Just at that moment, a cold snort could be heard descending from the sky. One could only see gusts of wind start surging in the sky, causing the air turbulence in the sky to become even more violent, which resulted in the clouds and seas to be stirred up as if whirlpools were forming! Within the swirl were sounds of majestic chanting, and an overbearing aura could be felt as gold Blade Auras were shot out crazily. The only thing that could be seen was a God of War that was as tall as five people in golden armor gradually descend. He held a golden longsword with a reverse grip and charged towards an inconspicuous small Zerg that was in the middle of countless Zergs!

-20,174!

A formidable five-digit damage figure directly killed that Zerg in an instant! Immediately after, all the other Zergs seemed to have lost all their vitality, and their bodies turned into liquid one after the other, which flowed onto the ground.

The mighty Zergs directly dissipated just like that.

That Zerg was the Zerg Queen Artherga, which was the core of all Zergs. As long as the core, Artherga, was killed, the remaining Zergs would naturally all die. Artherga had the Mimic ability, which allowed it to disguise itself as a small soldier that was extremely hard to identify, even Inksnow was unable to differentiate.

Feng Yun saw that all the Zergs disappeared, so he hurriedly started channeling the Revival Spell, wanting to revive Artherga. Who would have expected that Broken Blade would slash from the sky, while its hilt let out a dragon-like roar? It was Dragon’s Roar!

Feng Yun’s skill was interrupted, and his body could not help but retreat a few steps. He then shouted out in shock, “Who?”

Chaos In The Sky held his breath and then shouted, “It’s Broken Blade, who else could it be? Who we’re really after is here, Feng Yun prepare to kill him! The guild leader has given his orders that Lone Wolf must definitely be killed no matter what.”

Inksnow was astonished. Her eyes followed the Broken Blade, and a steady and haughty figure with thick armor appeared in her line of sight. His aura was like that of a sharp blade which soared into the sky. It was very difficult for Inksnow to imagine that he was the same person as that thick-skinned guy that had teased her.

Lin Jie pulled out his blade calmly and looked at both of them in surprise. He sneered. “Twilight Transmigration? Was it Character Z who called you here?”

“Attack!” shouted Chaos In The Sky.

Just as he finished, a shadow had charged towards Lin Jie. With closer inspection, it was actually Chaos In The Sky’s real body, what was left at his original spot was just an afterimage only. His Movement Speed was extremely fast, so quick that people were unable to see where he was.

Shadower!

“Looks like I guessed correctly, but Z would actually send two experts here directly? Looks like Baili Xuanyuan has promised him a great deal of benefits.” Lin Jie crossed his arms and started to feel Chaos In The Sky, who was circling him and sprinting rapidly, spiraling into a dark whirlwind.

Suddenly, Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed, and he pierced out with his sword. “I’m getting dizzy, stop!”

Psh—

Chaos In The Sky looked at his chest in astonishment, the Broken Blade had actually stabbed deep into his chest!

What judgment was that!?
