Chapter 37: Light Sword Saint Mogata

Editor: Atlas Studios

"Actually, my goal of playing this game is quite simple." Zheng Ziliang raised his cup, his face flushed red and eyeballs rolling around uncontrollably. He was obviously very drunk already. "Chase girls and get good item drops. If I could make a few bombs or something like that…"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and continued eating. Zheng Ziliang was just like that, once he started drinking, he would stop eating. Lin Jie could only help him finish the uneaten food that filled up the table and take away any leftovers.

Before Lin Jie reached home, he wrote a few coordinates for Zheng Ziliang and also gave him temporary permission to his personal inventory.

When it was inconvenient for transactions between players, they could temporarily allow permission for the usage of one's personal inventory. One would be authorized to draw up to 10% of the supplies and coins. Also, the owner of the personal inventory could retrieve the supplies taken within a scheduled time whenever they wanted. Thus, it was very safe.

On the coordinate were written the names of a goblin and a dwarf respectively. This was one of the more well-known mission line: The War of Technology. The New Age's engineering skill had two branches; Dwarf Engineering and Goblin Engineering. When one had reached mid-level in engineering, one could choose an association to join. Only after finishing the War of Technology could one be allowed to learn both engineering skills.

The theory behind both engineerings was totally different, so it was all up to Zheng Ziliang on whether he would be able to understand them.

Once he reached home, Lin Jie placed the food that was packed properly in the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, he decided to place the bank card that was bound to his game account on the table too. His family was not well off, so it would be good that he could help reduce the burden of his parents even if it was only by a little.

After returning to his room, Lin Jie habitually did a series of physical training. He stopped only after perspiring all over, and he had a cold shower before entering the game.

——

Just as he entered the game, the ground shook violently.

Wine God Elder and Wine God Youngster had already left. Lin Jie propped his head out to see that two people were standing in front of the library door. Lin Jie recognized one of them, it was the Light Priest Hero, Pedantic Loli¹ Yatasha.

The other person had green skin, fangs exposed and a body full of muscles with scars which was hideous and horrifying. Under his pale white hair was a pair of sharp eyes, and in his hand was a Holy Light Great Sword. He was Light Sword Saint Mogata.

Light Sword Saint was one of the Warrior Heroes, but different from the Wind Rider Sword Saint. Mogata was a new hero that had incredible combat powers. His head was filled with abomination towards the Darkness. Being an orc from the Tribe of Darkness, he repeatedly waved his butcher knife towards his allies that learned dark magic and was ostracized by his tribe. He then joined the Guild of Light as a guest exorcist.

Lin Jie dared not appear. That was because Mogata's definition of "Evil and Darkness" included being red-named.

In his previous life, there had been many situations where red-named players had been killed instantly just as they had been walking in the outskirts. They had died with just one slash of Mogata's sword, who would appear suddenly.

"Move away, darkness must be eradicated!" Mogata screamed angrily at the Little Loli, while his Holy Light Greatsword vibrated in excitement, ready for action.

"They are all good people, they were just bewitched," Little Loli rebutted loudly, irritating Lin Jie to roll his eyes. If it were not for her, where would the 1,000 points of evil score come from?

Mogata gave a mocking smile and swung his great sword. The blade aura cut through the air and exploded as it touched the ground, knocking the little loli back. Mogata charged forward to get closer, leaving his great sword in his original spot. He, on the other hand, roared fiercely as he tore a follower into shreds.

"Stop!" Little Loli wanted to stop him, but she realized that the Holy Light Great Sword had split into a hundred longswords, forming a sword array and sealing her route off! She was a high-level priest at most, but Mogata was already a legend-level hero. The difference between their strengths was not just a little.

Bang—

Mogata would tear a follower apart as soon as he caught one. This made little Loli shiver with anger and screamed at Mogata, rebuking him, and making him irritated. He then just gave a kick that made little Loli faint and threw her into the void that he split open with his right hand.

Lin Jie looked at this scene with shivers running down his spine. Orcs were just so brutal and barbaric!

It was quite satisfying to see such a scene though.

However, why was Mogata there?

Lin Jie secretly followed behind him, entering the Dark Monastery Library.

He realized that Mogata's right shoulder was full of blood. Although it was hard to distinguish due to the thick kodo hide, which was wrapped around his shoulder, Lin Jie sensitively noticed that detail.

'Is it possible that he is here to find sub-legendary equipment?'

'Whoosh'

A ray of light shone from the deepest parts of the library. Mogata gave a hearty laugh and rushed in with his eyes shining brightly, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Lin Jie was shocked. Just as he wanted to move forward, a huge group of followers spawned. They held books in their hands, and the middle of their palm was burning with a turbid black flame.

Fallen Spellcaster Follower: Level 9, Health Points: 600

Three spellcasters formed a wave, one would be looking for death if they were to forcefully dash in!

Lin Jie equipped his Black Stone Crystal Fire Gun and backed behind the door, aiming underneath one of the spellcaster follower's leg.

Boom—

That follower was shocked. He looked around confused and walked a few steps towards the direction of the sound.

Boom—

The sound was heard once again, and the follower walked forward another few steps until he was separated from the group.

A crystal-like bullet cut the air and drilled into the follower's head without mercy with blood splattering everywhere. The follower put his hands together, and a contract rune slowly started to gather.

Spellcasters could summon devils like Blood Imp and Fire Imp for battle. Each summoning required a certain percentage of health points. To summon stronger devils even required one to pay the price of one's life.

During the period of summoning, their resistance increased by 100 points and would be immune to normal silent magic skills.

Light Empathy!

The Holy Light embellished the middle of the rune and burned the whole thing into ashes.

-300!

The side effects of failing to contract left the follower in agonizing pain. He roared as he shot a dark arrow towards Lin Jie and decreased a huge portion of his health. The spellcaster follower's magic attack was very high!

Lin Jie activated Forward Charge and Havoc, decreasing yet another portion of the follower's health, which was already not much in the first place.

"Dark Arrow!" As the follower tried to gather his magic again, with a slide of Lin Jie's right leg, he appeared behind the follower in an instant, and that magic spell failed because it had lost its target.

Havoc!

-84!

The Broken Blade slid through the follower's throat, leaving a limp corpse.

Lin Jie picked up the coins and fragments of the map dropped. Lin Jie repeated the same thing all over again and lured the monster one by one before killing it. Although the whole process was slow, the pro was that it was safe.

Since the Light Sword Saint had activated a plot here, it would not end in just a few minutes. One could not underestimate the endurance of an NPC.

Bang-

The fire gun sounded again.

———

Castle Wood.

Beads of sweat formed on Qiu Yuan's forehead. She waved her enchanted staffs consecutively, and Dark Speech skills landed onto the werewolf repeatedly.

When the Dark Speech skill stacked up three times, the tip of her enchanted staffs surged with a layer of black fog, and Kiss of the Dark exploded!

-85!

The werewolf wailed as it fell. The attacking team quickly changed their target and killed the monster which was lured by Water and Netherblue.

"Rest," Netherblue unwillingly said as she looked at everyone's health bar and mana bar that were nearly empty. Everyone took out their bread and water in succession to recover their health points. "We'll go out to reset the dungeon to continue farming it in a while."

Water took a look at the record column and sighed in dismay. He really missed the time when Team Netherblue cleared the expert-level of Cat Demon Lair and appeared on the leaderboard… No matter who, once people mentioned Netherblue, they would be filled with envy and mystery. It was as if that team could override guilds since they had great power. It was exactly like this at that time, they were the only ones who had cleared the expert-level of Cat Demon Lair.

Currently, due to basic equipment, skills, and raw skills, etc., they could only stay at the entrance of the dungeon and clear those three small monsters. They could only pray to get a bit of experience and equipment to form the foundation for the clearing of dungeon subsequently.

Netherblue looked at her teammates with a helpless and sad look. Wouldn't she also want for her team to appear on the leaderboard? Where every one of them could raise their chests in pride?

"I miss Fu Sheng a little."

"Me too…"

"Me too, sigh…"

When someone started it, people followed. The team was filled with chattering voices of discussion.

Qiu Yuan took a look at Netherblue that was sad and put down the communication device that was in her hands secretly. 'Fu Sheng, this bastard, he has been unreachable for several consecutive days now!'

She said, "Are we unable to play the game just because Fu Sheng is not here? Have you all forgotten that in the Cat Demon Lair, Fu Sheng only contributed 30% at most?"

Water also bit the bullet and encouraged, "Yeah, he even said that without us, he definitely would not have been able to clear it."

"We have 70% of our battle power during our heyday, isn't it just a simple matter to clear the dungeon?" Qiu Yuan said with a grin, "Let's go and continue clearing the dungeon! It will be good if we can get the Poison-Resisting Set."

"Sister Qiu Yuan, normal dungeons only drop Bronze Sets."

"Bronze Sets are also sets," said Netherblue indifferently. "Continue farming, we cannot rely on someone else for everything."

Seeing how her teammates left the dungeon one after another, Netherblue gave a bitter smile.

They wouldn't know that the reason this small team was able to clear monsters here so comfortably, was all because Lin Jie had provided the low-level Poison-Antidote Potion to them for free.

Ding~

A cloth armor was dropped onto the ground. When Lin Jie picked it up, he laughed heartily.

Dark Contract Cloak (Silver)

Can be used by Summoners and Spellcasters

Requires: Level 4

Defense: 8-12

Spirit: +5

Endurance: +4

Additional effect: Summoned Beasts' Health Points increase by 3%

Additional effect: Dark Contract Set Component

It was a part of an equipment set. After gathering a set, there would be additional attribute augment. A normal set would encompass attributes for a higher grade. For example, if a Silver Armor Set was gathered, it would reach the attributes of gold equipment.

In Lin Jie's previous life, a Sub-Legendary Armor Set could be known as Divine Equipment. That was because nobody could obtain a Legend Armor Set. Legend equipment was called legend because they only existed in myths.
