Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 102: The Element Altar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As an old city that had experienced war, there were many brutal creatures in the City of Barbarians.

Desert Nematode, Skeleton Kodo, Spirit Bimon... This was where one could see the most number of hideous land creatures.

Those were also the barbarians’ food. Naughty children could often be spotted near the City of Barbarians, tearing the kodos with their bare hands. They would eat its flesh and drink its blood.

Walking in the desert would cause the sand to enter the eyes, limbs, and cracks of an armor. Although the sand would not cause any harm, it was still uncomfortable.

“Darn it. I forgot to buy a few Breeze Scrolls.” Lin Jie spat out a mouthful of sand and was wondering if he should go back first.

Just then, the Empathetic Person’s Hood glowed, and a small shield appeared around Lin Jie, blocking out the sand.

Lin Jie blinked. ‘This legendary equipment has this effect?’

Equipment on players would evolve to better equipment when the players’ ability grew, even if it was just Bronze class. One for all. And the equipment would be named after the players.

This cloth armor cap was only a legendary fragment. But when Lin Jie equipped it, he felt that it was inextricably linked to something. In addition, the name of the cloth armor... Lin Jie doubtfully reached out and grabbed on it. It was so soft. What was that feeling?

Lin Jie grabbed it again...

At the same time, in the Holy Church of the City of Light.

Yatasha was learning the divine spells from Bishop with great concentration. The Holy Light from her skin made her look like a goddess.

“Jii—”

With a soft sound, Yatasha’s chest moved a bit.

“Erm...” Yatasha blushed suddenly as she felt something wrong with her chest. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see that her chest was moving slightly. There was a warm sensation in her body.

“Wu... Erm...”

Yatasha bit her teeth tightly with a blushed face. She used a divine spell and hit the robe with it.

“My goodness!”

Lin Jie was so bored that he was touching cap all over when the shield suddenly disappeared. The sand covered Lin Jie immediately.

Furthermore, the sand was as though guided by something, and it kept rushing in the mouth!

“Shield, shield! Please come out!” Lin Jie grabbed on the Empathetic Person’s Hood. A soft moan seemed to resound, and the shield appeared again.

The sand surrounded Lin Jie like an egg.

Lin Jie put on the hat carefully. He did not dare to touch it randomly again. ‘To think that the equipment would get angry.... What an insane world.’

Maybe by the help of “Sand Egg”, Lin Jie did not encounter any monsters on his way. The air seemed to have more moisture, and without the push of wind, the sand slowly dropped back to the ground.

Lin Jie looked up and was surprised at what he saw.

Countless of huge boulders were floating in mid-air and formed a floating city. Frost, Flame, Thunder, Wind and Earth Elements were dancing everywhere.

“Liao...”

The earth exploded, and an element formed from rock rushed towards Lin Jie.

Earth Element: Level 17, Health Points: 6,800

“Dong!”

-6!

The Earth Element crashed into Lin Jie, and the damage was less than 10. Although the Earth Element had extremely high defense and health points, it had a weak attack.

Army Obliteration!

-374!

-356!

-361!

With Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, Lin Jie wiped 1,000 health points off the Earth Element. Its defense was normal too. With a dark glow, Dark Slaughter Longsword was stabbed into the center of the Earth Element and hit a sphere as though it was its heart.

Weakness Exploit!

-509!

The blade aura pushed the Earth Element back a few steps. The blood reservoir of the Broken Blade was filled in an instant. Blood Soul Multi-Slash went straight for the heart. Close to 2,000 damage burst the Earth Element into pieces. It tried to piece itself back together. But facing the combo of Ultimate Strike right after Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, the Earth Element soon closed its eyes and turned into dust.

The experience points went up by 4,000! Elemental creatures gave a huge amount of EXP.

There was an Elemental Age in history, but it was not the Elements that were powerful. It was the mages. In the era ruled by elements, the density of elements in the entire The New Age was scary. Mages with the ability to rule over the elements could easily control them. Many players with great ability had created many Forbidden-class spells.

A hero would be born in the right time. In the special Elemental Age, many pro mages were born.

Of course, at the cost of the high experience points, elemental creatures could only drop extremely cheap items such as Elemental Earth and Elemental Water. 100 of Elemental Earth could only be sold for 1 bronze coin.

With the death of one element, the ground began to shake.

The ground froze, and many ice spikes busted out. They changed into the Ice Element like an ice sculpture.

The storm raged. The eye of the storm turned into its heart and eyes. This was the Wind Element.

Fire Element, Earth Element, Thunder Element... countless of elemental creatures appeared and looked at Lin Jie emotionlessly.

“No one is allowed... to bother...”

With a command, all the elemental creatures’ names turned to red! Behind those elements was a huge Water Overlord with the size of a mountain. The water on its surface was like waves.

Lin Jie could not help but think to himself, ‘A bottle of consumable Elemental Water can be sold for 2 gold coins. What about water from a Water Overlord? Wouldn’t the price be insane?’

‘The elements should be protecting something.’ Lin Jie looked deep into the map. Due to sight restriction, he could not tell what it was.

‘I’ll have to use brute force to enter!’

After making up his mind, Lin Jie aimed at an the Ice Element and attacked it with his Broken Blade.

Ice shards were everywhere.

—’You are affected by the Ice Element. Attack Speed, movement speed decreased by 20%.’

That was the most disgusting part about elements—special stats could be stacked. Even if Lin Jie had the Kiara Beast King’s Armor, he could not wipe out a group of them.

Flame Boost activated!

The burning flame fell right on the surface of the Ice Element, and it was clear that it melted a layer.

-654!

The high damage lit Lin Jie’s eyes. It felt good!

With the aid of Flame Boost, it was definitely easy to fight against the Ice Elements. With a shake of his blade, Blade Aura from Army Obliteration pierced through the Ice Element’s body.

-754!

-785!

-736!

The Dark Slaughter Longsword beheaded the Ice Element. With a loud sound, a skill book dropped on the ground.

[Skill Book: Strengthened Ice Lance]

‘A strengthening skill!’ Lin Jie laughed loudly. There were many good items on these elements. Strengthening Skills were very expensive because of the way they were controlled behind the market. Such skills were about 5 to 10 times higher than the normal price.

Lin Jie put the skill book into his backpack. Flame Boost was still on, so Lin Jie quickly attacked the next Ice Element! These were all EXP and money!

At this stage, the Cash Exchange System had yet to be fully operable. As there was no official cash out method, the players had to trade in the black market.

The price in the black market would fluctuate greatly, so the players had to worry about the risk of being scammed. However, rich people bought equipment using cash to have an easier life. But the black market was full of inconvenience to them. Many people were suggesting to the official portal to open up the official cash trading system.

Official’s answer was clear: Not possible!

To solve that, Lin Jie had a great plan. But it still lacked the crucial element.

Ding~

Lin Jie picked up the communication device, and Bu Yi’s voice sounded. “Fu Sheng, Sis Netherblue asked me how to use the points. Exchange for equipment?”

“Do not exchange it yet,” replied Lin Jie. “Keep all the points, and I mean all. Do not spend them.”

Bu Yi nodded and asked curiously, “Why are you breathing so heavily?”

“I... I’m leveling up.” Lin Jie smiled bitterly. He tilted his head and dodged a Wind Arrow. The Dark Slaughter Longsword pierced through the eye of the storm, and with a grab with his right hand, the Elemental Wind and a skill book were caught. The entire move was very smooth.

“Haha, then do your best!” Bu Yi stuck out her tongue and hung up.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and sent a message to Seven Ears and The Heavenly Shield. He asked Seven Ears to notify all lone wolves working for Sky Provisions Shop to not spent their points until the War of Light so that they would be rewarded with extremely high profit.

Once they received the information, all of them found a way to become rich. They promised Lin Jie that they would not exchange them before the right time and vowed not to expose this secret to anyone else.

The Heavenly Shield only replied with one word, “Okay.”

As time passed, Lin Jie wiped out more than 200 elements. He obtained a total of 4 skill books, and one of it was for Ascetic Priests, known as Shield of Light. Lin Jie would naturally gift it to Bu Yi.

As the last Earth Element died, Lin Jie stood in front of the Water Overlord. Its body was so huge that it covered the Elemental Altar, which looked like a floating city. Water flowed from top of its body and to the ground, and it went straight up again.

Water Overlord Latto: Level 20 Overlord, Health Points 52,000

Forward Charge!

Lin Jie activated Feather Drop Spell and went straight for Latto’s head, which looked like a viper. The Broken Blade made a curve in the air and stabbed right into the water.

Attack Resisted!

Two large words appeared above Latto’s head. With a loud sound, Latto’s huge arm smashed Lin Jie into the ground.

-174!

Latto’s attack was considered as an elemental attack. The magical damage from a Boss exceeded the limit of Kiara Beast King’s Armor, and it posed a threat to the player.

‘Wild Charge!’

Lin Jie jumped up again and stabbed at the heart of Latto. However, what he faced was still the words “Attack Resisted”, and a cruel slap.

Elemental Overlords were known as one of the most difficult creatures to kill. It was extremely difficult to harm them unless there was a mage who specialized in Earth Element to assist the attacking player.
