The Tyrant Devilsaur swallowed down Lin Jie in a gulp—Lin Jie was just about the size of the gap in between his teeth—and it licked its teeth, as if really unsatisfied with this ‘dessert.’
Gillian watched with a smile as she witnessed Lin Jie being eaten up. She had the means to him, but it was always better to get rid of more enemies when the situation allowed for it—after all, even her own father could betray her, let alone a human being from the alternate realms?
The Vicious Black Dragon Moratti was still sleeping soundly, and all the commotion did not affect its sleep. The Powers of Life and the Powers of Death made it looked oddly beautiful. On its head, there was a lump of faint purplish flesh, just like the cockscomb of a roosterthis was the Demonic Dragon Crown!
Gillian walked slowly towards Moratti. The slumbering dragon did not sense danger coming at all and was still breathing out heavy mist-like breaths. Gillian stretched out her light purplish right arm, and in a moment, her arm was transformed into a hairy spider leg which was at least 10 meters long! The hairs on the spider leg were like sharp scythes, and it aimed straight at the crown!

Kacha—



After a dull cutting sound, Gillian lifted up the bloody Demonic Dragon Crown in her hands! The Powers of Life and Powers of Death surrounded both her hands and eventually transformed into a series of luminous runes. They began healing Gillian’s wounds!

Ang
The ruler of the 12th sub-shrine of the Dark Shrine, the Vicious Black Dragon, finally woke up. Its petrifying giant eyes opened!

Lie down!
commanded Gillian loudly as she held up the crown!

Dong
The Vicious Black Dragon’s head landed onto the ground with a big thud—such was the prowess of the Demonic Dragon Crown! Gillian scoffed and commented,
Me, Lady Anne, is finally back now! Hahahaha!

At this moment, a black shadow appeared abruptly in the air. A sound of metals clashing was heard, like the symphony of death. When a cool metallic surface came into contact with Gillian, she finally realized what it was—a black dagger was positioned beside her neck!

Magical Shield!
With a wave of her hands, Gillian summoned a Magical Shield which could absorb at least 500,000 damage points!

Die now!
The dagger slashed past—it was as easy as if the wielder was just cutting through the air—and slit the Magical Shield apart!
-102!
Gillian opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and fell down dead on the ground!
Eighteen Massacres’ figure was revealed. He wore a triumphant smile on his face and looked satisfyingly at the dagger which had a 10% chance of ignoring Magical Shields before keeping it away. After which, he took hold of the Demonic Dragon Crown and smiled smugly to himself.


‘Well, the skill that old debauchee NPC mentor spawned after killing him is really not bad. It can actually allow me to enter a suspended animation state when I suffer fatal blows, then revive after three hours with full Stats. Coupled with the Fade Spell I learned from the Dark Shrine, who has the ability to track my actions?’
A cruel gleam covered his eyes as he walked towards the Tyrant Devilsaur, which devoured Lin Jie. ‘As the saying goes, ‘there will be future fortunes to be gained if one managed to survive through death ordeals.’ It’s great that the damned Lone Wolf opened the door to here, and thus I can sneak in. This is the best exemplification of retribution, haha! Now that you are dead, Broken Blade’s mine—only in my hands can this Legendary equipment display its greatest prowess! Hahaha!’
Boom—
Several dragons discovered Eighteen Massacres and lunged forward, eager to eat him up!

Hear my orders now and bow down!
cried Eighteen Massacres. The Demonic Dragon Crown gave off a series of draconian rumbles, and all the dragons fell down to the ground—who could ever think that they were once powerful Bosses?
Standing in front of the Tyrant Devilsaur, Eighteen Massacres raised the crown and ordered,
Vomit out that fellow’s corpse and the stuff he owns!

The Tyrant Devilsaur nodded submissively in fear and vomited out Lin Jie’s body, which was covered in its saliva. Lin Jie’s hand was still gripping on tightly onto Broken Blade.

Hah, still refusing to let go after you are dead? Hahaha…
Eighteen Massacres finally got his wish as he stepped hardly on Lin Jie’s face. He laughed and said,
Lone Wolf, I pwn you now!

Every player could decide their own positions before they die. If one had enough skills, he could even use his position to protect his equipmentthe most simple of which would be to hide his equipment beneath his own body when he died. However, this tactic became well-known within one month of discovery. As such, many players began to search their enemies’ corpses after PKs and duels other than searching Bosses’ corpses in the dungeons.
To Eighteen Massacres, Lin Jie’s action was just a useless means of trying to protect Broken Blade. Many fools would be tricked by this tactic—but not him!


Eighteen Massacres squatted down, grabbed hold of Broken Blade which Lin Jie was holding onto, and tried to lift it up.

Eh?
Broken Blade did not move no matter how hard Eighteen Massacres tried to wring it out of Lin Jie’s hands!

I heard that I was being pwned?


You…

When Eighteen Massacres looked at Lin Jie’s face, he saw Lin Jie looking back at him with a jesting expression. Eighteen Massacres was shocked! At this moment, Lin Jie’s muscles swelled up, and Blood Power surged throughout his body!
Lin Jie had the Undefeated Anger skill, thus even if he was forced into a perilous situation, he would be able to hold on for two seconds! As such, how could the Tyrant Devilsaur kill Lin Jie so easily?
Now, with his nearly emptied health bar, Lin Jie activated Death Rage, and his Stats reached petrifying heights!
His Attack Power reached 1,245-1,802! Lin Jie activated Blood Light Multi-Slash and slashed Broken Blade down on Eighteen Massacres! After which, he stabbed him again, and killed off Eighteen Massacres who had activated the Immortal Body skill!

Such a dirty cockroach-like fellow,
Lin Jie wiped away the saliva on his body and moved Eighteen Massacres’ corpse out of the way.
‘This fellow’s forever so shady!’


The Demonic Dragon Crown rolled onto the ground. Lin Jie picked it up.
[Demonic Dragon Crown] (Legendary Equipment)
All Stats +10
Additional effect: Primordial Dragon Prowess. You can control purebred Dragons which are within 20 levels of your own level.
Additional effect: You can transform to the Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy! During the transformed state, you will be upgraded to a Level 35 Rare Elite, and you will have the skills of a Dragon Envoy. Your Dark Shrine Reputation will remain at ‘Admiration’ permanently when you are in the Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy form.
This item will take effect the moment you put it in your backpack.

I… what the…
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted. No wonder Gillian—or rather ‘Anne’—wanted to get it so much. This was a Legendary item!
This Legendary item was so much stronger than all the other ‘divine equipment’ which Lin Jie had seen before in his previous life! Although its basic Attributes were just so-so, the additional effects all told of how powerful Legendary-grade items were!
With the Primordial Dragon Prowess skill, Lin Jie could make all dragons listen to his commands! This was a most awesome and efficient manner to level up and get rich—just imagine how one could order a Dragon Boss to stand still and let him kill it! Not to mention, it could also let its owner command a fleet of dragons and help him gain control over a whole city!
It was a pity that the purebred dragons on the lands of The New Age were all at least of Level 100 or above, like the Red Dragon Queen. All the other Dragon-type Bosses which Lin Jie knew of were inferior dragons which only had part of the dragon bloodline, and hence Lin Jie wouldn’t be able to use this skill to command those dragons around.


Looking at the Bosses which were roaring ferociously in front of him, Lin Jie raised the crown up high and cried,
Attack each other now!

The guardian dragons blinked quizzically at each other. They were all stunned to the spot, but they did not start attacking each other as ordered. Lin Jie was puzzled, ‘How come these dragons are not being controlled? No, wait a second, they are being controlled, it’s just that they are partially controlled… This must mean there’s something wrong with their bloodlines!’
Dragons were symbols of evilness in the Western fantasy world. Dinosaurs like Tyrant Devilsaurs wouldn’t be considered as purebred dragons. As such, the Demonic Dragon Crown could only restrict their actions, but not control them completely.
All these Dragon-type Bosses present were at least of Level 30 and above. Even if they stood still, it would still be a long time before Lin Jie could completely kill them off!
Lin Jie pondered for a while, and an idea came to him as he looked at the second additional effect of the crown. He couldn’t help but reveal a smile as he thought, ‘The Holy Church always come and collect protection money from me frequently. It isn’t easy for me to maintain such a small business in the city. Haha, with this item, now I have the perfect solution to solve this problem!’
However, this wasn’t the best place to think about such ideas—he could save it for later and think of a more concrete plan of actions.
In the entire Moratti Shrine, other than the Vicious Black Dragon, there was only one other purebred dragon!
Lin Jie used the crown and command all the dragons to stand still. He walked back to the door of the main shrine gradually.

Hong
The Exodus Bone Dragon which was bumping hard against the door, finally smashed it to pieces. It charged straight at Lin Jie furiously!

Primordial Dragon Prowess!
Lin Jie lifted up his right hand, and the Exodus Bone Dragon immediately lost all abilities to resist. Lin Jie commanded it to turn around and dance a small ballet in front of him. During its beautiful dance, the Exodus Bone Dragon accidentally killed tens of Dragonites with its ribs—but Lin Jie did not get the corresponding EXP points. This made Lin Jie rather depressed.
Taking a look at the mountain of treasures in front of him, Lin Jie gave out an order to the Exodus Bone Dragon calmly,
Move out all the available treasures here for me!

The Exodus Bone Dragon received his order, flapped its wings and barged into a room which was previously locked. It threw out all the treasures at a go! Lin Jie discovered to his surprise that there were loads of Water Alloys which Zheng Ziliang could use for creating the Gargoyle within the treasures! Other than that, there were also a lot of other rare ingredients, Gold equipment, massive weaponry used to attack cities… These were riches benefiting of an entire kingdom!
Following which, Lin Jie ordered the Exodus Bone Dragon to kill three Tyrant Devilsaurs and used its rib bone to skin those monsters. He took their thick flesh and made a simple outer skin covering the Exodus Bone Dragon’s body. With that, he dumped all the treasures he could get his hands on into the Exodus Bone Dragon’s hollow body—he was thinking of using it to transport back those treasures.
Meanwhile, Lin Jie also stuffed Gillian’s corpse and the dragon head he got at the shrine’s entrance into the Exodus Bone Dragon’s body. After all, Gillian had the hidden identity of ‘Lady Anne.’ Lin Jie guessed her corpse would fetch him quite a handsome reward if he submitted her to the Holy Church.
After two hours, Lin Jie and the Exodus Bone Dragon stood at the shrines’ entrance. The Exodus Bone Dragon was stumbling around, and a few gold pieces of equipment dropped out of the crevices from its tummy occasionally.
‘Okay, now it’s time to take off for this airborne delivery!’
