Chapter 534: Strengthening Skill

Clomaros’ Kill!

The golden light surrounding Broken Blade increased in intensity as Lin Jie raised the golden weapon up high. With a slash, Frostfire was instantly sliced into two! The ice-blue part turned into three Frostbolts, and the flames turned into three Fireballs. They exploded behind Lin Jie, blasting the Moonlight Grass.
Army Obliteration!
When Lin Jie swung Broken Blade, the surrounding Moonlight Grass could be heard rustling. Broken Blade was enveloped with faint moonlight, and 50% of his attack was converted into magic damage.
Slash!
The Double-Headed Crescent Werewolf’s tough fur was effortlessly sliced open by that attack due to the moonlight magic effect. The fur even started burning in flames.
-2,182!
-2,716!
-2,347!
-2,273!
Lin Jie was astonished—the damage of that attack was actually 40% higher than normal!
Breeze Wind said in shock,
The damage is actually so high? Moonfire must be effective as that Werewolf seems to be afraid of it. It seems that Ice-type monsters receive extremely high damage if they are hit by Fire magic.


I see, I don’t really know about Druids,
mentioned Lin Jie.
That attack had reflected 4,000+ points of damage, but with Bloody Demonic Ring’s Life-Steal and Breeze Wind’s healing, he had easily tanked the damage. The Crescent Magic Werewolves’ skills were not flashy, but Lin Jie definitely had to dodge the Boss’ magic as the damage output was as high as 2,000 points.
Breeze Wind’s role was not to be underestimated either. Under the influence of Lin Jie, she had consciously started working towards the direction of
extreme execution
, so when she healed Lin Jie, she summoned a few Treants to help deal damage. In crucial moments, they could also help block attacks for Lin Jie. To a team, if the Boss’ skills were unable to deal enough damage to threaten the MT, then that Boss would sooner or later be defeated.
Gradually, the Double-Headed Crescent Werewolf’s health points decreased, quickly dropping to 10%. At that moment, the fur on the Double-Headed Werewolf instantly fell off. The light released by the Moonlight Grass was all gathered towards its body.

It is about to mutate! Attack with full power!
shouted Lin Jie.
Lin Jie used Dragon Armor Removal and directly smashed it onto the Double-Headed Wolf’s forehead. Then Broken Blade was slashed towards it with Shield Cut, but only 200+ points damage were dealt. The Boss would be immune to 90% of damage when mutating! After a while, the Double-Headed Werewolf appeared from within the moonlight. A shining moonlight mark had appeared on its forehead, and its fur was even sparkling brightly.
—Battle prompt message: The [Double-Headed Crescent Werewolf] evolved into [Moonlight Magic Werewolf], all attributes increased by 50%. It learned a new skill, [Moonlight Werewolf Pack], and its effect lasts for 30 seconds!
Awo—
The Moonlight Magic Werewolf let out a ferocious howl. The moonlight from the sky shone down on the canyon, making it look illusionary. The Moonlight Werewolf Pack was activated! Moonlight shone to the ground and gathered to form Werewolves made of moonlight! There were roughly up to a hundred of them! The Werewolves howled and charged towards the duo!

Wind, run!
shouted Lin Jie.

Run? But I am a Healer Druid…
Breeze Wind felt like weeping but had no tears. As a healing job, it could not be avoided that her Movement Speed was slow. Breeze Wind’s skills for running were not enough for her to escape.
At that moment, a cool breeze descended from the sky and propped them both up. The duo’s bodies instantly became agile! That was the skill [Wind Walk], which Lin Jie had learned not long ago! It was a fearsome skill that could allow all allies’ Movement Speed to increase by 40%.
The duo instantly escaped. The Movement Speed of the pack of Werewolves was not enough to chase up to the duo, which was enhanced with Wind Walk.
As Breeze Wind enjoyed the feeling of running like the wind, she chuckled and said,
Hey, what is this skill called? I want to learn it too.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and grinned. He replied,
Wind Riding.


Oh… Such a weird name,
said Breeze Wind. She turned her head back and looked at the pack of Werewolves behind them.
How long can this skill last?


12 seconds,
replied Lin Jie with a serious face.
Breeze Wind was stunned. ’12 seconds? The pack of Werewolves would exist for 30 seconds!’
Twelve seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and their speed immediately decreased. The pack of Werewolves behind them was about to catch them. The Werewolf pack’s attacks were all magic attacks, so even if it were Lin Jie, he would not be able to take them. Not to mention the numbers were so immense, even drowning them with numbers was not a problem!
Lin Jie stopped and said,
Do you remember what I taught you?


Extreme execution? What do you want to do?
asked Breeze Wind.

Transform into a bear!
commanded Lin Jie.
Breeze Wind was astonished. Then she immediately understood what Lin Jie was thinking. After a low bellow, Breeze Wind transformed into the form of a bear. The bear, which a healing-type Druid transformed into, was smaller than the bear transformed by Wild Druids. However, that was enough!
The pack of Werewolves attacked! Lin Jie’s eyes flashed, and he slashed onto Breeze Wind’s back!
Dragon’s Roar was activated!
One could only see the body of that majestic and robust bear immediately fly away and crush the front row of Werewolves. The surprise attack abruptly hit the pack of Werewolves, and they couldn’t react in time! As they saw the Werewolves in front fall, the pack of Werewolves behind could not stop in time and crashed into them. Instantly, half of the Werewolves behind had fallen.
Breeze Wind immediately stood up and activated Swipe! Her paw smashed the faces of four Werewolves, and all monsters were knocked back another step.
When the Werewolves were struggling to get back up, Lin Jie descended from the sky and activated Mountain-Crushing Strike! The attack waves spread like ripples on water, and the Werewolves were knocked back onto the ground by the tremor! From such a round of attacks, the duo controlled that pack for a total of eight seconds! However, there were still ten more seconds before the skill ended.
Breeze Wind felt that every second was torture and could not wait for the skill to be over.

Space Movement!
Lin Jie’s Holy Light Winged Armor shook, and he instantly teleported 8 yards away, far from Breeze Wind. He used Broken Blade to slice through the dense forest and instantly stacked a barrier in front of him. Immediately after, his Holy Light Winged Armor, which was initially filled with holy aura, shrunk, transforming into eight spider legs, which were spread widely. Then, Lin Jie crawled up the Moonlight Wood.
The pack’s aggro was already concentrated onto Lin Jie, so after they got up, they directly chased after Lin Jie. They realized that their target had already crawled up the tree after they took great trouble to tear through the obstacles. Just as the angered pack was planning to crawl up the tree, their bodies gradually dimmed—the skill effect had disappeared!
Meanwhile, the evolved Moonlight Magic Werewolf also lost all of its strength. It just lay on the ground decadently.

It finally ended.
Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief and walked in front of that Magic Werewolf. Then he pierced into the Boss, which nearly killed him, ferociously! He saw that Breeze Wind was at the side, so he was in the mood to play around. He shouted,
In the name of the Moon, I’ll punish you[1]!

Slam—
—’You have killed the [Moonlight Magic Werewolf]. Congratulations, you have received 1,800,000 EXP and [Skill Strengthening Proof].’
—’You have cleared a piece of ruin for the Goddess of Moonlight, the Goddess of Moonlight has blessed you. You have received 5 Strength Stat Points enhancement.’

Swoosh!

On the other side, Breeze Wind’s level was directly increased by 1, and she said in excitement,
Indeed, it’s faster to level up by killing Bosses. I’m going to reach Level 50 soon and become the strongest Druid!

Lin Jie took a look at her level.
I think you should reach Level 45 first…


…

Breeze Wind glared at Lin Jie.
Don’t mind such details! Anyway, the Boss has already died for quite a few seconds, and you still have not gone to see the loots?

Lin Jie chuckled. He picked up the items dropped by the Boss. There was a [Moonlight Werewolf Fur], a good material for Enchantment, a [Moonlight Mark], it belonged to accessories like rings, and its grade was Gold. There were no attributes enhanced, but only one special effect: 20% chance to recover 80 mana points each time you use a skill.
Finally, it was a pauldron.
[Magic Werewolf Shoulder Guard] (Dark Gold)
Requires: Level 50
Defense: 172-356
Mana Defense: 150-200
Strength: +45
Endurance: +45
Parry chances +4%
Additional effect: When you receive attacks, there are chances to trigger [Magic Werewolf’s Soul], which reduces 20% damage.
Additional effect: The chances of you receiving Critical Hit is decreased by 5%.
Dark Gold Heavy Armor! It was much better than the pauldron on Lin Jie. After equipping the Magic Werewolf Shoulder Guard, Lin Jie’s Defense value increased once again to 1,301 points! However, now, at such a stage, every player would at least have learned some skills that could penetrate armor. Therefore, the only places that Defense could be fully utilized were dungeons.
‘Mission completed!’
The Skill Strengthening Proof to strengthen skills had already appeared in his backpack. Using that item could strengthen one’s skill, but it was unable to strengthen skills above Epic. However, after skills were strengthened, they could be compared to Epic Skills!
After Lin Jie opened the Skill Strengthening Proof, the basic skills of Berserkers were all revealed. Lin Jie’s gaze was gradually locked onto the skill icon at the corner—Mountain-Crushing Strike!
—’You have chosen to strengthen the skill [Mountain-Crushing Strike], please choose the direction of strengthening.

A few choices popped up in front of Lin Jie.
—Mountain-Crushing Strike could be strengthened into:
[Mountain-Crushing Smash Strike]: It deals attack to a single unit multiple times.
[Mountain-Crushing Traceless Strike]: It strengthens control effect, and there are chances of the targets being controlled again afterward.
[Mountain-Crushing Flame Slash]: It deals AOE Magic Damage to targets within a range.

I choose to strengthen…
Lin Jie’s right hand aimed his optimal option and tapped on it.
…
At the Crescent Canyon.
Slice—
Demon Sword precisely dodged each and every attack by the Werewolf’s sharp claws. Demon Sword turned, and he slashed his dagger as smoothly as running water. His dagger accurately pierced into the Werewolf’s back, perfectly slicing through the Werewolf’s veins. Fresh blood instantly splurged out intensely!
-918!
Armor Ignore, Weak Point Damage!
Also, an additional Bleeding effect was dealt! That Werewolf, which had been tortured for who knew how long, finally wailed and fell to the ground.

Ahahahaha, Backhand Backstab, Backhand Backstab!
Demon Sword let out a burst of hearty laughter as he placed his hands on his waist arrogantly. He was extremely excited.
Ten Thousand Men’s Enemy, Jiangnan Yanyu, Lingyun Xiaoxiao, and Hardworking Pants, who were at the side, had each sent a message to congratulate Demon Sword.
After nearly a whole day, Demon Sword had finally executed that skill! Perfectly at that! Demon Sword was simply about to go crazy from happiness.

Tsk, there are actually Level 40+ people wearing Level 25 Gold sets?


Take a look, being that excited over killing a Werewolf. Wow, I haven’t experienced such excitement from killing monsters in a long time.


Is it possible that we, the Internet Celebrity Organization, would be this excited from just killing a monster?

Five people, wearing a mixture of Gold and Dark Gold equipment, appeared. Their hair was dyed in various colors, and they had their arms crossed. With the expression of
feeling comforted from looking at newbies playing
, they looked down at Demon Sword and the others from above.
