Chapter 378: [Death Light Helmet]

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Lone Wolf, you are digging your own grave! Do you think that you can kill me in front of the audience? Hmph, do you think all these NPCs are for show?” Lone Wolf’s Blade Aura was nearing Demon Robe when he suddenly activated Phantom to flash away.

Demon Robe appeared 20 yards away from Lin Jie, with a smile on his face. He originally only planned to use the Dragon Slayer Potion to destroy Zheng Ziliang’s Mechanical Gargoyle, but instead, he entrapped Lin Jie as well! According to the game rules, anyone that interfered with system events would face severe punishments, including jail, confiscating equipment, or even deletion of accounts.

‘Do you think that you would be strong enough to beat the NPCs? Or beat the system?’

City of Light Corporal, Mohamed, growled and whipped out his 3-meter long greatsword, which was covered with flames, and wielded it towards Lin Jie!

Mohamed was titled as the ‘Blazing Corporal’! Blazing•Mohamed

Demon Robe snorted savagely but pondered about how to seek merit from Baili Xuanyuan after Codename Lone Wolf died. At that moment, he realized that Lin Jie had raised his Broken Blade high and seemed to be chanting.

“Water Surge!”

Boom—

The ground exploded, and gigantic water columns spouted behind Demon Robe. The great impact hit Demon Robe’s back, blasting him towards Lin Jie! Lin Jie roared as he unleashed Outraged Roar, which stunned Mohamed in his tracks and constrained Demon Robe’s movement, preventing anymore escapes.

Mohamed was indeed worthy of being City of Light’s Corporal as he managed to get out of his stunned state within half a second. He appeared frosty as he waved his hands and begun suppressing Lin Jie.

“Ice Spirit Slash!”

Lin Jie’s eyes grew cold, but he did not retaliate. Instead, he whipped an Ice Blade Aura towards Demon Robe, freezing him. The main effect of Ice Spirit Slash was to constraint, so it did not have a high damage. Even so, Demon Robe’s health bar was still drained rapidly, and he was about to die.

“Dragon Armor Removal!”

Lin Jie was unforgiving as a draconian rumble sounded from his right hand, and Demon Robe’s equipment was completely crushed! The Dragon Slayer Potion in his weapon belt levitated in the air, and an acrid smell filled the atmosphere instantly. Moreover, there was another dazzling potion in his belt.

“Damn, Codename Lone Wolf is so ruthless! What is this? It can destroy all his equipment?”

“Hehe, you probably didn’t know about that, right? That move is called Dragon Armor Removal, Codename Lone Wolf used it previously to blast City of Light’s strongest Protection Paladin away, that was insane.”

“He might be strong, but he is really too arrogant. Ruining events in front of NPCs is jail-worthy.”

“I think that Lone Wolf doesn’t shoot without an aim. There might be a hidden mission in prison.”

Judgement Panel.

Tyrese’s eyes flashed when she noticed the two bottles of potions, and she stood up and teleported in between the two men. She raised both hands and forced both of them apart as she called out, “Both of you, stop!”

Tyrese was way stronger than the Corporal.

Lin Jie kept the Broken Blade behind his back to indicate no further attacks. He understood that it would be impossible for him to face the Corporal’s attacks with his levels, though it might be possible after his job-change.

Tyrese held out her hands and caught both bottles, and brought one close to sniff. Her face dropped as she cried out, “Holy Light Corrosive Potion! This was what the Dark Shrine had used to steal the Holy Light Source, which degenerated to the Dark Holy Water. This potion has appeared once again! Viscount, you have done very well! If it weren’t for you, we would have trouble discovering this item. I have to report this to the church, and we will treat this matter seriously. Demon Robe, you will be under arrest for joining the Dark Shrine and bringing the potion into the City!”

The Corporal was stunned before a determined look fell on his face as he said, “Commander Tyrese, this man has breached the Imperial laws, as City of Light’s Corporal, I have to arrest him.”

Tyrese snorted. “The Viscount is not just innocent, he has also performed very well! Holy Church wants to reward him for his services in need, do you want to stop us?”

Both Tyrese and the Corporal were in a stalemate for a few seconds before the latter backed down and sat down angrily.

“Let’s go, this is a serious matter, we have to report this to the Holy Church first.” Tyrese said softly, “Viscount, you and this human from the alternate realms, follow me as well.”

Swoosh!

Holy Light shone, and all three of them left the arena.

Simultaneously, the system prompt message sounded.

—Congratulations to Innocent Killer for winning this round of the competition.

.........

Holy Church City of Light.

Anxiety filled Demon Robe’s face as his perfect plan was destroyed just like that! Obviously, he had not joined the Dark Shrine as it was no longer advantageous now that players were all leveling up beyond Level 40. However, there were still some benefits that the Dark Shrine brought.

An example would be their poisons. The Dark Shrine’s formulas were tons better than the ones by the Guild of Light’s Bandits Association. Demon Robe had received an Epic Mission in exchange for offering up Eighteen Massacres when he had been at the Mesosaprobic Shrine.

The mission had been to spill the [Holy Light Corrosive Potion] onto Raid Commander Tyrese. The reward in advance was a bottle of Dragon Slayer Potion, if he succeeded, he would be rewarded with another 10 bottles of Dragon Slayer Potion and its prescription. What was the Dragon Slayer Potion? It was a poison, powerful enough to destroy city walls and corrode dragon scales! If he was able to get the prescription and mass produce it, he could form a team to slay dragons!

It was easy to get into contact with Raid Commander Tyrese, so he just had to join the final tournament.

However, he did not expect Lin Jie to be a judge and interfere with the competition. It also led to the explosion of his hidden poison, which resulted in his current state.

The little loli priest, Yatasha, had grown lady-like, just like in Lin Jie’s previous life. She toyed with the poison peacefully but grew serious and said, “This is indeed the Holy Light Corrosive Potion. A potion capable of luring angels to fall. It is rumored that the Dark Shrine possesses a gem called ‘Sin’—the Heart of Darkness. It is capable of causing angels to lose their minds and turn in killing beasts. However, it was destroyed eons ago by the Holy Church, but it has resurfaced once again due to other means.”

Tyrese said in fear, “The Heart of Darkness has awakened? Countless Holy Light Believers have degraded to dark beasts because of it. What do we do now?”

Yatasha waved her hands slightly and then turned to Demon Robe, asking with a smile, “Human from the alternate realms, tell me how you got this potion. You might not be aware of the soul searching skill that our Holy Church has, but to maintain the harmony between us, it will be better if you confess!”

Demon Robe’s eyes turned, and he said, “I stole this from the Dark Shrine when I was wandering around. I was going to hand it over to the Bandits Association, but I didn’t have time.”

“You are lying.” Yatasha sighed. “I am still capable of telling if someone is lying or not. Be honest, otherwise... we will do more than just arrest you.”

Demon Robe’s heart tightened as he asked, “If I tell the truth, will you release me?”

“Yes,” said Yatasha faintly.

Demon Robe sighed and blurted out the full story. Upon hearing that, Lin Jie frowned at his lack of perseverance. ‘He gave up so easily?’

Yatasha was known for being kind and never going back against her words. It seemed that the plan to imprison Demon Robe was not going to come true.

“So that’s how it is, it seems that the Dark Shrine is well aware of the revival methods of the Heart of Darkness. We have to destroy it. Viscount, you shall be in charge of this matter.” Yatasha sounded calm as her finger raised.

Ding~

—”You have accepted the Main Plot Mission [Destroy the Heart of Darkness].”

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched as the thought, Main Plot Missions don’t seem that valuable now, bloomed in his mind. In his previous life, other than activating missions with other players, he had only participated and failed in one Main Plot Mission. However, this was already his second one in his current life!

It was really up to fate for one to embark on a Main Plot Mission.

The Heart of Darkness was in the Dark Shrine’s main shrine, which was a Level 100 map. It wasn’t something that Lin Jie could embark on currently.

“Viscount, you have contributed greatly to the church, including the destruction of the Mesasaprobic and Blood Sub-Shrine, as well as saving the Mermaid Princess. We have sent ambassadors to be in contact with the Poseidon Shrine, they will be opening up the Endless Sea to us. What rewards do you desire?” Yatasha smiled and raised her right hand. A large redemption panel popped up. “My items are of a higher value, and at a lower price as compared to the Redemption Officer, take your pick.”

Lin Jie still had about 8,000 points left!

‘Yatasha is a pretty understanding chick...’

Lin Jie tossed a glance at Demon Robe as worry filled his face. Tyrese immediately understood his need for privacy and teleported Demon Robe away. However, the lack of punishment due to Yatasha’s orders still pissed Lin Jie off.

[Flod’s Beast Training Text]: Requires 5,000 points.

[Skill Book: Holy Sword]: Requires 3,500 points.

[Magic Tutor Anrel’s Skill Handbook]: Requires 10,000 points.

...

Lin Jie’s surprise grew as he looked, Yatasha’s items were exceptionally great in quality at 3 times’ cheaper price tag! Taking the Skill Handbook as an example, it contained the practice thoughts of magic tutors. If one were to look for all the hidden ‘map hints’, ‘NPC hints’, etc., he/she would be able to learn at least 20 superior-grade skills!

However, Lin Jie’s eyes were glued to a broken Helmet.
