Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 479: Killing The Werebear King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Every member of Savage Blade was clever, so it was obvious they could understand Lin Jie’s intention. Physical jobs instantly aimed their attacks at the Thunder Werebears while the others continued taking note of the Werebear King’s attacks and continued lowering its health. Until now, the Werebear King had not shown any other abilities besides its powerful normal attacks.

The three Thunder Werebears were killed from attacks being concentrated on them and were converted into Thunder Werebear’s Hearts again.

“Continue summoning?” asked Baili.

“Summon!” replied Lin Jie.

The Werebear King’s Thunder Werebear Summon was a trigger-type skill, it would summon the Thunder Werebears once every time its health points decreased by 20%. The attributes of the Thunder Werebears summoned would increase by 20% with each time, and the underlings summoned at the last stage would all be at the level of Mini-Bosses.

However, once someone activated Thunder-attribute Magic within a 60 yards radius, then the Boss would be able to steal the strength of others to form Thunder Werebears. The important thing was that there would not be any increase in attributes for the Thunder Werebears summoned using such a method.

Thunder Werebear’s Hearts were enhanced on Mixed Breathless one after the other, and his Thunder-attribute Defense increased rapidly; naturally, the damage dealt by the Boss decreased. After the battle continued for almost an hour, Mixed Breathless’ Thunder-attribute Defense value was already as high as 800 points, together with his original Defense, the Werebear King’s damage output was limited to below 500 points.

“Alright, it’s time to kill it,” said Lin Jie.

The Werebear King’s damage output was not enough to threaten Shield Specialists anymore. The firepower of the team increased with the addition of Lin Jie and the others—their damage output increased greatly, and the Werebear King Boss’ health points decreased rapidly.

The Boss, which had suddenly received a huge wave of attacks, stomped its foot, and a wave of lightning was spread. It was the Werebear King’s second skill, Thunder Shockwave. Instantly, everyone received 2,000 points of fixed damage and entered a 3-second Petrify! Meanwhile, the Boss raised its bear paw and attacked Mixed Breathless three times!

-472!

-425!

-500!

After awakening from being petrified, Bu Yi gasped in shock and hurriedly started healing Mixed Breathless. If it were not for the enhancement from the Thunder Werebear’s Heart, Mixed Breathless would have received 3,000+ damage and could have already been instkilled! Everyone shuddered at that thought, and they all increased their damage output, killing the Werebear King faster was the only right thing to do now!

“The Boss’ strength and drop-rate are proportional, I bet that this Boss will definitely drop a super-rare skill or equipment after it is killed.” Zheng Ziliang rubbed his palms in anticipation. “Looks like my lucky right hand is needed again.”

“Look at the situation now, you still have time to joke around? Don’t you see that we’re all— Uh, take as if I didn’t say anything.” Baili Changcheng, who was trying his best to attack, was planning to teach that playful Zheng Ziliang a lesson, but he realized that Zheng Ziliang was really extremely comfortable. Being a Contract Summoner was really relaxing, they just had to summon their Summoned Beasts to deal with the monsters. The Mechanical Gargoyle’s intelligence level was not low, and its damage output was actually almost as much as a Warrior’s.

The Werebear Boss was still trying its best to struggle, its thick and large paws gathered lightning onto its Wolverine-like claws. It was different from the Thunder Claws of normal Werebears because as long as the claws of the Werebear King hit a target, a bolt of lightning that would 100% cause paralysis would strike within a 20-yard radius. Its frequency was very high, so if one’s luck was slightly bad, then they might be paralyzed continuously.

To counter that, Lin Jie directly arranged for all the melee jobs to retreat since Savage Blade did not lack damage output. Also, Mixed Breathless was able to easily tank the Boss’ damage after obtaining Thunder Werebear’s Heart too.

When the Werebear King’s health points dropped dangerously low, all the lightning within the fortress suddenly became violent and gathered to form something like a tornado.

“Lightning Tornado has been triggered, we will leave the fortress. Breathless, you will stand at the entrance to attract aggro, don’t let the Boss leave the aggro range or else it’ll return to full health,” said Lin Jie.

The Werebear King’s ultimate skill, Lightning Tornado, was extremely powerful, it could even cause a “Map Kill” as it would deal damage and paralyze all enemies within the fortress. Once one got hit, then they would be continuously paralyzed unless they could take a whole set of damage from the Lightning Tornado. However, if there was no one who could pull the aggro within the fortress, then the Boss would return to full health.

Mixed Breathless stood at the fortress entrance to attract the Boss’ aggro while the others retreated the outside of the fortress. During such a moment, even healers could not heal Mixed Breathless, or else it might cause the Boss to have a change in aggro, it would be troublesome if it charged out.

Cackle—

Once everyone left the fortress, thunder could be heard, and lightning strikes could be seen inside the fortress, which Lin Jie had nicknamed “nuclear reactor”. The lightning struck randomly everywhere, and the sound of the sizzling lightning made shivers run down one’s back.

Lin Jie took out a Gold longsword from his backpack and threw it in. It was instantly attacked by countless bolts of lightning, then immediately after, it was pulled out using Death Grip. That Gold longsword was enveloped with a layer of lightning snakes.

“Throw your weapons inside to refine them. If your luck is good, then you might get a Lightning Strike effect, but if your luck is bad, then the weapon will be destroyed. However, such a method is unsuitable for equipment above Dark Gold,” explained Lin Jie as he looked at everyone’s doubtful expressions.

“Lightning Strike is able to enhance the weapon with a paralysis effect, it is counted as one of the best additional effects. The price of a weapon with additional Lightning Strike would be 10% higher than normal weapons, and it has quite the practical value,” said Dejected Night. He had also taken out a Gold staff and threw it in.

“Wait!” Lin Jie hurriedly shouted, but it was too late. The staff Dejected Night had thrown had directly been burnt by the lightning.

“Looks like only metallic equipment can be enhanced by lightning, those of other materials would not work,” said Dejected Night.

Lin Jie smiled bitterly. “You’re right, but you could have just asked me, why did you have to use a weapon to try it?”

“I’m used to it.” Dejected Night smiled embarrassingly and turned to look at the fortress. “I wonder how Brother Breathless is doing.”

Just as he finished, the Lightning Tornado gradually disappeared.

Mixed Breathless stood at his spot with his health bar all empty. The skin of his body had also been burnt by the lightning. The armor on his body was also flashing with lightning, and he looked miserable. Bu Yi hurriedly healed him, and everyone attacked the Werebear King together, killing the Werebear King, which had lost its ability to resist.

Roar—

‘The Werebears will return...”

The Werebear King let out its last roar of rage, and its huge body fell to the ground heavily.

Ding~

—’You have killed Dark Gold Overlord Thunder Werebear King. You received 2,800,000 EXP.’

—’You have reached Level 47. You have received 5 Free Stat Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points.’

Golden light shone, and Lin Jie’s level was raised yet again, he had reached as high as Level 47! He once again left those two Mages, Domestic Fat Cattle and Wantless, who were two of the best Mages, in the dust. Such a thing couldn’t be helped as although they were strong in farming monsters, the places they farmed were just normal maps. Meanwhile, Lin Jie had entered the Blade Peak Canyon, which was a hidden map, so it was expected for Lin Jie to have better gains.

“Breathless?”

“Breathless?”

Mixed Breathless still stood at his spot as if he was in a daze, not moving at all. The charred and smelly blood was not dried up, and lightning could be seen flashing from within his muscles vaguely. Suddenly, Mixed Breathless’ injuries were all healed. He took a step and activated Thunder Damage!

Thunder Damage was an active AOE skill that Shield Specialists used to attract a group of monsters. Its damage was low, but it had a 5% Attack Deflection effect, and its cooldown time was short. It could be said to be a main skill for Shield Specialists. Now, after Thunder Damage was released, a Thunder Barrier would be left in where the Shield Specialist originally stood and was able to paralyze the target.

COMMENT

“My skill seems to have been strengthened,” said Mixed Breathless happily. “Although it’s unknown why my Thunder Damage has evolved after being bombarded by the Lightning Tornado. Is it possible for skills to absorb the monsters’ skills and evolve?”

Everyone was astonished!

“Skill training”, such a phrase normally meant a player using a skill non-stop towards a target to increase that skill’s proficiency. “Skill evolution” could happen after one obtained the item that could allow one’s skill to evolve. Who would have thought that such a method could also be used!?

Lin Jie smiled. “I’ve said before, The New Age is a game that is different from others. The monsters are able to train their skills through certain methods, so you who have absorbed the skill’s power would also naturally be able to refine your skill. This Werebear King is only a Dark Gold Overlord, if it was a Legendary Overlord, then we might even be able to refine our body through its lightning, improving our lineage and increasing the growth of our stats.”

“Forget it, we have to be able to survive first,” said Zheng Ziliang smilingly. “Let’s go and see what items the Boss dropped.”

The drop-rate of a Dark Gold Overlord was indeed astounding! Besides the three Dark Gold Fragments, there was also a Dark Gold necklace, a Skill Book, and a key.

[North Glaciers Snowflake Necklace] (Dark Gold)

Requires: Level 45

Strength: +50

Endurance: +50

Willpower: +30

Armor Ignore: +20

Additional effect: Attack Power increases by 5%

Additional effect: Night View: +10.

Special skill: Frozen Ice! You will forcibly freeze the liquid underneath your feet to allow you to walk on water.

Note: It is from the beautiful snowflake in the glaciers of the North, if you are exploring the North Glaciers, then it might have an additional use.

“Let me say something before distributing,” said Lin Jie. “This necklace is not only an item, but there is also a hidden mission chain, which is related to the Snow Goddess in the North Glaciers. The reward is an Ice-attribute Skill Book and a complete Dark Gold Ice-attribute Set. Night, Baili, how will the two of you decide?”

COMMENT

Lin Jie also did not expect for that necklace to be dropped. All Boss monsters from the North Glaciers would have a 1% chance of dropping that necklace. The mission inside was named [Snow Goddess’ Promise], it was an item of utmost importance to Ice-attribute Sword Artists and Ice Mages.

Dejected Night thought for a moment and said, “Truthfully, I also want this necklace very much, but since it is Warrior-type equipment that increases Strength, it would be too much for me to take it, Baili, you take it.”

“I don’t need it, my level is too low, going to the North Glaciers is just looking for death,” said Baili Changcheng firmly. “I know that the Snow Goddess is the belief for Ice Mages, but we the Frost Sword Artists believe in Frost Sacrificial Warriors. The attributes of this equipment are just camouflage.”

“But—”

“No buts, just take it.” Baili Changcheng waved his hand.

“Alright, this necklace is Night’s.” Lin Jie passed the equipment to Dejected Night and continued, “This skill book is Thunder Explosion, it requires one to know Thunder-attribute skills to be able to use it, so I’ll take it.”

To that, no one had objections. In reality, there weren’t many people willing to learn Thunder-attribute magic since it was too useless, it was impossible for them to rely on a mere “possibility of paralysis”. Baili Changcheng was an Elemental Sword Artist, but he specialized in Ice-type, so he could not learn high-grade Thunder-attribute skills either, or else it would cause the effects of Ice-type skills to decrease.

“This key...” Lin Jie showed everyone the key.

[Werebear Treasure Room Key]!
