Chapter 18: The Great Demon Seer (Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Hurry and Vote)

  Come on, kids! Can you give it a bit more energy?

  I am a big-eyed and pouting separator seeking recommendation votes.

  Lin Jie logged off and had a meal, chatted with his family, and then continued to play the game. He had been farming in this map for a day and night, but unfortunately, only 8 sheets of Epic-grade Flame Gun blueprints dropped, so it would probably take even longer to collect enough to complete the design drawing.

  "Death is actually a kind of homecoming."

  The giant devil fell to the ground, wailing in a voice that startled Lin Jie. In this day's massacre, these giant devils were no different from the undead: they only knew how to attack, had no intelligence, and couldn't speak. This giant devil suddenly spoke in fluent human language, which really startled Lin Jie.

  A backpack was turned out from the corpse of the giant demon, Lin Jie smiled slightly, 4 20-grid backpacks were complete. His package is twice as large as that of ordinary players, and a skill book was also obtained.

  Skills: Hunting Charge (Enhanced Skill)

  Elemental Strike: Action

  Skill Description: Lock onto a target within 30m and charge towards it, stunning for 1 second upon successful hit.

  Empowered effect: If you lose your target while charging, gain an additional 100% speed bonus for 1 second.

  Occupation: Warrior

  The probability of strengthening skills is very low, and in the previous century, it has been running for 7 years, but no one has been able to get more than 20 strengthened skills.

  Lin Jie bitterly smiled, why didn't this skill come out earlier? The most difficult stage of killing the giant demon hunter is getting close to it, every time he gets close, he's shot full of holes. Moreover, there are no supplies in his backpack, so he can only sit on the ground and recover his health, otherwise Lin Jie would probably be shot to death.

  Took a look at the task progress, 95 kills, still short of 5.

  As he delved deeper, a faintly visible building appeared in his line of sight. It was a structure similar to a temple. To be on the safe side, Lin Jian did not enter and continued to clear monsters around the perimeter.

  Locked onto a giant demon, Lin Jie initiated a hunting charge, his body transformed into a dark shadow, leaving behind residual images as he charged forward. In an instant, he arrived beside the giant demon and with a swift horizontal slash of his broken blade at its neck, dealt a massive critical hit. Following the same method, he slaughtered the giant demon. With the charging skill by his side, his efficiency had increased significantly.

  Pick up the drawings, Lin Jie continued to strike and kill, the task progress gradually reached its peak.

  "Mission accomplished! Reward: 20 Illuminated Alliance reputation, title reward [Imperial Guardian]."

  [Guardian of the Empire]: Your reputation with the Argent Crusade is temporarily increased by 15 points. Your attacks have a chance to trigger Judgment of Light, and your spells have a chance to trigger Holy Concussion.

  Lin Jie took a look at the skills attached to the title.

  Guangming Lianxi: Fixed skill, cannot be upgraded. When used on friendly units or self, increases all attributes by 2% and recovers 50 HP. When used on Dark-type creatures, puts the target into a 0.5-second banish state.

  "Next stage, kill 1000 Wild Grom'kar Far Seers."

  Lin Jie furrowed his brow, if this continued, his advantage would completely disappear. He switched to the forum and searched for some game information, the highest level had already reached 5th level, ordinary players were also gradually reaching 3rd level, with Lin Jie only half a day's leveling experience apart. Moreover, according to the progress, Wood Castle would be opened in about 7 days.

  "Should I give up?" Lin Jie pondered, taking a glance at the task reward.

  The reputation reward is not the prestige of some place, but the prestige of the entire alliance! The Bright Alliance covers more than 70% of the mainland of Epoch, and even in the distant Elemental Territory and Angel City, there are human colonies. The difficulty of obtaining alliance prestige is also very high. Under the alliance, there are countless cities, under the city are towns and various camps.

  In the previous life, players calculated that 1 point of Illuminati reputation is equivalent to about 20 points of city reputation. This means that the reputation rewards from tasks and titles are enough for Lin Jie to brush his reputation in the City of Light to revered status. Not only can he enjoy various purchase discounts, land purchase discounts, but also benefits such as being able to enter the city with a red name.

  Kill! Lin Jie said angrily, unless there's another task after this one that requires killing 10,000 more, otherwise I'll be stuck with you!

  Lin stood motionless in front of a giant demon hunter, pierced by arrows through his heart, his health bar gradually decreasing. Until his blood vessels were completely empty, he suddenly moved, his whole body covered in blood, triggering the Death Frenzy, and several sword auras burst out from the tip of his broken blade, fiercely slashing open the giant demon's neck.

  －322！

  "Keep being dead and violent, otherwise you will never get out until death."

  ————————

  For a whole week, Lin Jie struggled in the Giant Demon's Soul space. Just as the first player broke through to level 6, he finally beheaded the 1000th Giant Demon Hunter.

  Although his level did not increase, his skills made great progress. Hunting Charge, Wild Dash, and War Reverse all rose to level 2, with a 10% increase in effectiveness. The most powerful was Death Frenzy, which soared under Lin Jie's nearly crazy method.

  If it weren't for Lin Jie only needing to face the giant demon hunter, he would never have dared to do so. After such a long time had passed, he had almost figured out every single move of the giant demon hunter, except for voluntarily lowering his blood volume to trigger death frenzy, at other times his health bar didn't even fluctuate by a thread.

  The skull of the giant devil rolled on the ground, and a design drawing appeared in front of him. The 50th design drawing! In addition to this, Lin Jie's backpack was also filled with spoils of war: 10 20-grid backpacks, 3 hunting strike skill books, 3 crusader strike skill books, and so on.

  A crisp sound came, and Lin Jie let out a heavy sigh of relief.

  "Mission accomplished! Bright Alliance reputation +50, reward title [Imperial Captain]."

  [Imperial Captain]: Your reputation in the Radiant Alliance is increased by 30, you gain 15% Radiant Judgment, and acquire the skill Radiant Mercy, accompanied by a Holy Light aura.

  Holy Light Halo: All dark creatures near you have their attributes reduced by 15%, and your Holy Radiance skill has an additional 5 yards of effect range.

  "Next stage, kill 10 Wild Giant Shaman."

  Lin Jie swallowed hard, and unexpectedly, the reward was the title of 【Imperial Captain】! This title meant that Lin Jie could sit on an equal footing with any viscount in the Radiant Alliance, gaining immense speaking power. The Holy Light Halo was even more powerful, equivalent to an infinite continuous Sacred Expulsion Technique.

  The best part is, I don't have to hunt down those giant demons anymore.

  Lin Jie tidied himself up and waited for his health to be fully restored before heading towards the temple. It had been a whole week since he last entered this place.

  Entering the temple, the scene behind instantly disappeared.

  Lin Jie felt his way forward, the temple was extremely large, with a huge hall in the middle. Five pillars that several people could barely wrap their arms around supported the entire temple. Under each pillar stood two giant demons resembling toads, holding juniper wooden staffs and whispering to each other.

  Behemoth Prophet: Level 10 Elite, HP 4100

  Lin Jie furrowed his brow, a level 10 elite, but it wasn't that easy to take on alone. His own attacks would likely be completely negated, and the only thing that could cause damage was the 15% Holy Judgment attached to his title, which ignored any dark-type creature's defense.

  But how to deal with them?

  Lin Jie looked up and saw a few footholds on the pillar. He activated the Featherfall Gem and tried to jump onto the footholds, but his jumping force was insufficient, and he barely reached halfway. He grabbed the pillar, waited for the Featherfall Gem to cool down, ascended again, grabbed the edge of the foothold, flipped over, and stepped up.

  This distance is just right for using Sword Energy Slash.

  Aiming at the giant demon prophet below, Lin Jie swung his sword and a strong gust of sword energy shot out, cutting off one of the giant demon prophet's ears.

  －32！

  "Karamo system......" The giant demon raised its head, dark magic swirling in its hands.

  What a pity!

  His right hand emitted a holy glow, the giant demon prophet blinked in confusion, interrupting his spell. Lin Jie took advantage of this to swing out another sword energy slash, knocking off 100 points of blood from the giant demon prophet and pouring a slow recovery potion into his mouth.

  However, when Lin Jie stuck his head out, he was unfortunately discovered... The Prophet's blood had been replenished.

  This is a level 10 monster with very strong recovery abilities!

  Lin Jie launched a fierce attack, swinging his sword energy once again.

  When the ogre prophet cast a spell, he deliberately stuck out his head and was heavily bombarded by the magic ball.

  －201！

  Lin Jie's neck shrunk back in a hurry and retreated, almost getting killed by a magic spell...

  Death Rampage!

  Attack increased by 180%, attack speed increased by 180%, critical hit rate increased by 20%, and the Ren Sword's amplitude was doubled, slashing fiercely towards the giant demon prophet.

  －120！

  At the moment when the Ogre Prophet was gathering magic, holy light fell onto his hand and disrupted the gathering spell. Seizing the victory to launch a pursuit attack, several sword energies slid down, and the Ogre Prophet's blood bar visibly decreased by one-fifth.

  "Ahh——"

  A deafening roar came, a dark flame condensed in the hands of the giant demon prophet, and heavily blasted towards Lin Jie's position!

  Feather Fall Technique!

  Lin Jie leaped again, sliding towards another pillar. This move triggered the remaining giant demon prophets, and a fireball streaked through the air in a scorching arc, hurtling towards Lin Jie!

  Hunting Charge!

  Lin Jie transformed into a dark shadow, canceling the target lock at the moment he activated his skill. His speed increased by 110%, and he ran to the other side, using Feather Fall to climb up the wall and barely grabbing onto a branch.

  The giant devil followed and wandered around in place for a while.

  Except for the giant demon prophet that Lin Jie had attacked, all the others returned to their original positions. Lin Jie's eyes lit up, what a great opportunity! The Broken Blade trembled and swept across the army with its sword energy, chopping down.

  －42！－35！－37！

  Lin Jie furrowed his brow, the violent killing spree had finally come to an end. Helpless, he could only poke out his head and say, "Hey, grandson."

  Boom! A fireball splattered on Lin Jie's face, he wiped his scorching skin, activated Death Frenzy, and swung his sword at the giant demon prophet with a fierce and desperate aura.
