My slave, hear my summon, and fight for me!
Torturer Purmo growled, and 4 dusty and tortured slaves with sullen cheeks were summoned and stood shakily.
These slaves were all Orcs! Orcs were the vital fighting machines to the Tribe of Darkness as they possessed strong battle convictions! Orcs were also one of the most suitable races to become Warriors.

I gift these weapons to you all, battle my slaves.
Torturer Purmo released the lackeys and walked towards the 4 corners as they activated Shadow Explosion and maintained this till all 4 lackeys had returned. In other words, players only had two choices: one, to enter the Shadow Explosion region and kill the Boss while enduring the damage while the lackeys were still equipping their weapons. Second, was to wait and face the Boss and the 4 lackeys together.
Bu Yi eyed the situation and shouted,
The Fallen Holy Light has been removed, let’s bolt in and attack!


It’s okay, let’s wait for the 4 lackeys. Everyone take this time to recover,
said Lin Jie under his breath and released some Blade Auras randomly towards the Boss, and a chain of damage values popped up. This was to prevent the Boss from healing as it exited battle mode.


Five minutes later, the 4 lackeys walked back empty-handed to Torturer Purmo.
Lackeys that had lost their weapons would be killed by the enraged Boss, and then the team would only have to face Torturer Purmo alone. However, they would be too stupid if the situation led to that! Lin Jie grabbed a giant axe, long spear, large knife, and a sharp sword from his bag, threw them on the ground, and bellowed,
Orcs, take back your weapons!

The four Orcs were the Torturer’s slaves, so Lin Jie would be able to instigate their rebellion! They would switch loyalties to the players and attack Torturer Purmo if the latter could provide them with weapons when they had lost theirs. Lin Jie knew of this as a fact, so that was the reason why he had collected those 4 weapons.
The Orcs’ eyes lit up as they held onto their respective weapons. Their faces fell, and their eyes were locked onto their torturer! Those lackeys were originally Rare Elites, but they had degraded to normal monsters with a health bar of 50,000 points. Even so, they were still able to serve as shields against attacks. They were betrayers with aggro levels higher than players.

Ignore the Orcs, Explosion output!
Lin Jie growled and activated Flaming Blade and Thunder Descent as he gulped a bottle of Berserker Potion. His output rose tremendously as he unleashed his attacks. His output per second reached 4,000+! This explosion damage was terrifying, and the output per second was taken based on the damage induced every 3 seconds.
In other words, the damage had to last for 3 seconds to be considered explosion damage. Otherwise, Lin Jie’s Clomaros’ Kill would deal tens of thousands of damage.
A normal player’s explosion damage would be about 160% of their normal damage, but Lin Jie’s was three times that!
The others took advantage and began attacking! The 4 lackeys’ damage output was pretty powerful as they contributed 30,000 points of damage output.

Damned slaves, get lost!
The Torturer’s health bar begun depleting rapidly, and it finally reached the final 20% of remnant blood! He unleashed a Shadow Dart that instakilled all 4 Orcs. He then raised his hands, and Dark Holy Light Rays began emitting!
The final stage!


Corrosive Holy Light was able to inflict 100 points of damage onto surrounding targets, and this effect could last for 60 seconds. During this period, the host’s Defense would rise, with an immunity of 12% while attacks’ damage would increase by 20% with every damage suffered by the host, and there was unlimited superimpose! In other words, the rest were only left with the last 60 seconds to attack, after which, the Boss that had superimposed millions of attack power would instakill everyone in a single move!
60 seconds to drain Torturer Purmo’s remaining 16,000 HP. Including Torturer Purmo’s damage immunity, they would have to inflict 18,000 damage points.
This would be a huge challenge for normal teams! Even MTs and Healers would have to change into Gold output armor, consume potions, add Buffs, use scrolls, and unleash all their huge attacks to pass. However, it was all a breeze for Lin Jie and gang as Bu Yi added a Defense Shield, and Lin Jie poured all his health points into Sea King Scaly Armor, and his health bar reached 5%.

Death Rage!


Ahhhhh!
Lin Jie’s muscles bulged, and his health bar depleted. This was more than just activating the Death Rage, there was an additional Heart of Enrage and Powers of Death!
Heart of Enrage had the highest increase of 100% damage.
Blood Power had the highest increase of 50% damage.
Death Rage, an increase of 300%!
Broken Blade, coupled with Shield Cut, sliced Torturer Purmo’s body, and blood sprayed out immediately. At the same time, a jaw-dropping value appeared!
-9,382!



Pu—
Zheng Ziliang, who was attaching the ‘Raging Contract’ Skill onto the Mechanical Gargoyle, spat out blood as he said,
Aiyo wth, Jie, I finally understand, you are actually the Boss. They all say that Bosses are Enrage Maniacs, but who would be crazier than you?

Lin Jie glared.
Can you choose nicer words to compliment me? Speed Output!

With Lin Jie’s explosion output, the remaining people unleashed their respective attacks as well. In less than 30 seconds, Torturer Purmo’s health bar was fully drained as it fell to the ground with a shriek!
Lin Jie chose to release the first clear announcement and filled the name with Baili Changcheng’s ‘Supreme Tribe’ guild.
—System Announcement: Congratulations to ‘Supreme Tribe’ Guild for the Holy Light Preparation Room First Kill! The Guild Leader, Baili Changcheng, is rewarded with 300,000 EXP, 5 gold coins, 100 Guild of Light Reputation Points! Additional reward of 1 Attribute Point.
Baili Changcheng tossed a grateful glance as he understood that Lin Jie was helping him out.
Lin Jie patted Baili Changcheng’s shoulder and said,
This is just the start. This is a normal dungeon, and the announcement would only last for a very short amount of time, so it only serves for your name to be shown. After we get past the Holy Light Ancestral Temple, your guild will be able to rise to fame with that honor.


Thank you.
Baili Changcheng nodded sincerely.
Zheng Ziliang grinned.
Baili, why are you being so formal with him? This is what we are supposed to do!


Alright, corpse search, get ready to retreat! We have at least 10 more dungeons to pass, let the remaining guilds clear the way for us so that we can sit back and reap the benefits.
Lin Jie laughed and sliced open Torturer Purmo’s corpse.


As the saying went,
Lucky for a moment, unlucky for a lifetime.
Lin Jie’s luck in dungeons was exceptionally bad in his previous life, so he had received the title, Unlucky Emperor. This title had spread even further as compared to his Battle Emperor name. Whenever someone would mention the Battle Emperor, they would often follow up with: That’s the Unlucky Emperor, and he is often called the Unlucky Prince by his close friends.
—’You received two gold coins.’
—
You received <Skill Book: Forward Charge>.

—
You received [Torturer’s Chain Hammer] (Gold).

A dungeon’s final Boss would explode out a dozen items, and at least 2 of them would be Gold. There might even be Dark Gold Fragments if one was lucky. However, Line Jie… had only obtained one Gold item so far.
[Torturer’s Chain Hammer] (Gold, Double Jack)
Requires: Level 40
Attack: 472-645
Strength: +21
Intelligence: +12


Endurance: +12
Parry grade: +10
Additional Effect: There is a 2% chance of stunning the target for 1 second when you attack. This effect can be activated at most once every 10 seconds.
Other than being a double jack with extremely slow attack speed, the chain hammer was also the hardest type to use! Generally, players would already steer away from the double jack after realizing that it had an attack speed of up to 3.6 seconds, but the Chain Hammer’s was 5 seconds! In other words, it would only attack every 5 seconds.
Although the Chain Hammer had a decent attack and a crowd control additional effect, its base characteristics still remained the same, and most people would stuff it in their inventories.

Mmhmm, this is a special product, my luck is pretty good,
said Lin Jie with a guilty conscience as he turned and threw the Chain Hammer into his bag. He then clapped and said,
All in all, my luck is still pretty good! This is a speciality, a speciality! It’s hard to come by.

Everyone exchanged a look and fought hard to contain their laughter. They were speechless in the face of the Unlucky Prince’s encounter.
However, the rewards for obtaining the first kill for Holy Light Preparation Room were still very generous. Other than the first kill rewards, everyone would be able to receive experience points and Fragments of Faith once they left the dungeon. Although they were unsure of the Fragments of Faith’s usage, seeing how highly Lin Jie regarded them, they must be pretty useful.
Lin Jie brought along Bu Yi to fully purify the corpses in the dungeon before leaving.
Ding~

You have passed the Holy Light Preparation Room Dungeon, congratulations on receiving 2,250,000 EXP (Additional EXP Gem). You have completed the Hidden Mission [Corpse Purification], congratulations on receiving additional rewards [Gratitude from the Slaves], you have received the title [The Embodiment of Justice].

Zheng Ziliang equipped the title, and the bar above his hand changed to ‘The Embodiment of Justice: Innocent Killer’! He raised his eyebrows arrogantly and asked,
Am I cool yet?

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and ignored him, and he gathered everyone to open the gift bag. The gift bag was [Gratitude from the Slaves], which was gifted to the first player that completed the mission. It was also a lucky draw of sorts as there was a chance to get objects that were silver-grade and above.
Lin Jie opened it up.

You received [Lien’s Present].

[Lien’s present]: Sweet spring water from the Lien Snowy Mountain. After consumption, all friendly armies will be in the state of ‘Cold Blood’. Attack and Channeling Speed will be increased by 20%, and the effect lasts for 20 seconds.
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up after realizing that it was a Team Buff Potion. After comparison, Lin Jie was no longer unhappy about his rotten luck just now! What was most important during a Boss’ Enraged Mode? That’s right, it was damage output! There was a terrifying Bloodthirsty Spell amongst the Tribe of Darkness that was able to boost all friendly armies’ speed by 35%! It was able to increase the whole team’s explosion output by almost 50%!
This bottle of [Lien’s Present] had a similar effect.
