Let’s go!

Clomaros’ Kill was a Level 6 skill and was capable of inflicting 10 times the damage! It was a really terrifying technique passed down by Clomaros, the God of War. However, there was a downside, as Clomaros’ Kill was a very high-level skill, other techniques such as Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner would not be compatible with it. Hence, Clomaros’ Kill could only be a single explosion technique.
Lin Jie got a direct hit, and the believer’s health bar was drained by a quarter. Everyone swarmed up as damage output was on full blast. Lin Jie drew out all the aggro using Flaming Blade and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner as he tanked the Holy Flame attacks that drained his health bar rapidly! Luckily Lin Jie had the enchantment of the Bloody Demonic Ring, so he had the Life-Steal ability.
Furthermore, the combination of [Heart of Berserker], the exclusive skill after a Berserker evolved, together with Blood Power, had increased Lin Jie’s attacking power! The frightening part of the Heart of Berserker was its Bleeding ability, as the skin of 6 believers tore when a Blade Aura swiped through the air. Blood flowed freely from the wound, inflicting 15 points of damage every second.
Boom—


Lin Jie sensed the presence of blood, and his body turned crimson red! With the support of Heart of Berserker, once the target began bleeding, the Berserker would receive additional Bloodthirst!
Level 3 Bloodthirst: Deals an additional 15% damage to the target, and converts the damage to your health points.
Blood droplets began shooting towards Lin Jie as they were converted to health points. Although it wasn’t much, it served as a good supplement. Coupled up with Bu Yi’s healing abilities, Lin Jie’s health points had been maintained and even increasing, to the envy of Baili Changcheng and Zheng Ziliang.
Although the 6 believers could cause decent damage, they were soon killed by the team.

Bu Yi, purify the corpses,
said Lin Jie.
If the corpses were still present at the end, it would boost the Boss’ attributes by 20%, making it a tough opponent. Furthermore, corpse purification was also the hidden mission in this dungeon, allowing players to gain a cool title, [The Embodiment of Justice] after they passed this round.
Bu Yi nodded obediently as purification was a compulsory skill learned by all Holy Priests and Ascetic Priests. It had a short cooldown period and was able to purify the target’s states, such as blood flow and health bar drainage. She directed the spell at a corpse, and it began emitting fluorescent light as the tortured souls left the body and rose up to heaven.
The believers in the Holy Light Reserve Room were different from the ones in the kitchen. They had fixed attributes and lacked any Bθφφ skills. However, they grew in numbers gradually and were already split into 8 men per team. Even Lin Jie would not be able to withstand σθψη damage. Their only solution was to get Baili Changcheng and the Mechanical Gargoyle to draw the monsters’ attention and kill them batch by batch.

Eh, the stock is out?
After killing yet another batch of followers, a crisp voice sounded—it was a beautiful wand that was encrusted with a Holy Light Pearl.
[Prayer Wand] (Gold)


Requires: Level 40
Magic Attack: 210-333
Wisdom: +31
Spirit: +15
Additional effect: Increases Divine Spells’ effects by 10%

Great quality!
Lin Jie concluded. That Gold wand specifically boosted Intelligence and Spirit, so it was extremely suitable for Mages. What’s important was its ability to increase divine spells effects’ by 10%! However, since Bu Yi had no need for it, it was being passed to the Sky Provisions shop to be priced.
Everyone finally ventured to a corner in the Reserve Room and found an axe that was carved onto the ground. It was dragged out and kept by Lin Jie.
Everyone spent the next two hours clearing monsters, while Lin Jie obtained 4 other weapons in the 4 corners: a long spear, giant axe, sword, and a large knife. Lin Jie finally let out a breath after collecting all of them before walking to the center of the room.
There was dark fog, where the final Boss of the Holy Light Reserve Room, Torturer Purmo, was located. He was one of the Holy Light Ancestral Temple’s Priest that had fallen the deepest and was in charge of brainwashing, as well as punishing believers. All the corpses in the Reserve Room were all the poor souls that he had failed to brainwash.

Oh? Self-righteous Warrior, you have finally arrived. I have waited so long for you, and I can’t wait for you to join our big family.
A shady voice sounded from amongst the mist as a crouched figure stepped out shakily from the shadows. His eyes were dull without life, and his face was sullen. He held onto a Shadow Enchanted Staff, and the wails of countless tormented souls sounded from within.


[Torturer Purmo] (Gold Overlord)
Level: 40
Health Points: 600,000
Attack: 1,454-1,694
Defense: 750
Special Feature: Shadow Priests Mastery

I will face the Boss, and Ziliang will throw the Mechanical Gargoyle behind the Boss. Qiu Yuan will release the fog to control the Boss’ critical hit damage, while Baili will have a full damage output.
Lin Jie’s lips moved as he threw out commands.
Hunter’s Forward Charge, Wild Charge!
Army Obliteration!
-857! -536! -573! -922!


Lin Jie did not inflict much damage as it was the dungeon’s final Boss, and hence, its abilities were still very strong. Actually, the strength of a Boss was dependent on not just the attributes, but their skills as well.
The Torturer’s aggro was concentrated onto Lin Jie as he shot out a Shadow Ray that linked both men together. This was the Torturer’s first skill: Soul Linkage, which linked the souls of two people together. If one party was hurt, he would be immune from the damage, and 10 times of the same damage would be inflicted on the other party.
This was a skill effective for both friends and foes, but it would only take place once. However, the Boss would unleash this skill randomly during battle, and its target would be the first player it came into contact with. Many teams fell prey to this move, so MTs would suffer once they suffered 10 times the damage when the Boss unleashed that surprise attack.
However, when Lin Jie saw that the Boss was unleashing this skill, he was delighted. At the moment when the Soul Linkage was formed, blood fog exploded from Lin Jie as he activated Sea King Scaly Armor, and 90% of his health bar was injected! Sea King Scaly Armor’s effect was to increase Defense after injecting 100% of health points. Lin Jie had up to 5,000+ Defense, and he was supposed to deduct 4,500+ health points, but due to the Soul Linkage, he did not suffer any damage. Instead, 10 times the damage was inflicted onto the Boss, and the Torturer’s health bar was greatly drained!
-46,370!
This was the explosion damage due to the Soul Linkage! Normal teams would have been defeated by the Torturer’s cheap tricks or be too afraid to channel any moves. However, Lin Jie had already fully understood this skill and was ready to retaliate. Hence, he decided to be the first person to enter the room. It was unexpected of the Boss to be so cooperative by unleashing this skill first thing during battle.

Hoho, powerful!
Zheng Ziliang enchanted the Mechanical Gargoyle with various summoning spells, which made it twice as large as it turned to attack the boss. Qiu Yuan activated Dark Fog that engulfed the Boss and decreased his critical hit damage. Lin Jie swiped his Broken Blade repeatedly and slapped the Boss’ stomach with Dragon Armor Removal, depleting its Defense points. Chains of over 1,000 damage popped out while the Boss’ health points decreased.
However, the Torturer also had an extremely powerful skill, Enchanted Staff Wield, which resulted in 3 Shadow Darts shooting towards Lin Jie! The Torturer’s attacks dealt Shadow Damage, and with its continuous burning on the Kiara Beast King Armor, it delivered, at least, 800 damage points per second!

Fall, fall…
The Torturer aimed his Enchanted Staff at Qiu Yuan as a grey silk thread, Fallen Holy Light, shot out! Qiu Yuan’s healing skill was immediately converted to a damage skill, and it hurt Lin Jie as she could not hold herself back in time. She grew pale as Lin Jie’s health points dropped by over 600 points.
Fallen Holy Light: Converts the target’s Healing Holy Light to be converted into damage.



No hurry, cast the spell onto the Boss.
Lin Jie held his breath and gulped a health potion to regain his health. Broken Blade exploded into action again as Clomaros befell! An unusual blood glimmer shone from his eyes, it was the Death Light from the Death Light Helmet!
-17,263!
-1,000!
Clomaros’ Kill, with its powerful ten-fold damage, coupled with the regen effect, was more than just an explosion skill—it was an emergency healing skill. Lin Jie threw out the scales from his Sea King Scaly Armor to tank some of the damage as Bu Yi had lost her healing skill. It was best to conserve as many health points as possible.
Misfortunes soon followed as the Boss soon cast explosive attacks and shot out 3 Shadow Darts towards Lin Jie again! Currently, Lin Jie only had 2,600+ health points remaining, so he would die if the darts hit him!
At that moment, a huge pair of wings descended from the sky and wrapped Lin Jie up, tanking the damage for him. It was the Mechanical Gargoyle! Its bat-like head was tilted as it hovered and protected Lin Jie’s head.
On the other hand, Baili Changcheng kept using Thunder Sword Spell, which had a tiny chance of landing its target into a state of paralysis.
However, he specialized in Frost Skills, so the chances were less than 2%, which would be further halved when facing a Boss. He did not succeed after several strikes, but instead, he angered the Boss, and they anticipated the next wave of attacks!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surrounding air exploded out, and shadows crept into the body of everyone. This was the Shadow Explosion, which exploded randomly within 15 yards and inflicted 1,500 points of damage onto surrounding targets. Defeat could occur, especially since they were unable to be healed.

Retreat!

Everyone stepped back upon Lin Jie’s commands. The Boss’ Shadow Explosion would continue for 60 seconds, and he was immune to long-distance attacks during this period and would suffer extra damage during close-combat-quarters battles. However, to take the safe road, it was better for them to wait for the 60 seconds to pass.
Following the Shadow Explosion, the Torturer’s strongest skill would be revealed: Protection Battle! 4 lackeys would be summoned to aid in the battle, and their 4 respective weapons had been prepared and placed in the corners. However, all 4 weapons were in Lin Jie’s possession!
