Another five bullets fired out and exploded on the Ogre Prophet’s body. The Boss roared like a maniac in its phantom state. In the beginning, Lin Jie could still understand him. Later on, whether the Boss went mad or insane, the Boss began shouting like a madman in ancient Ogre language. Lin Jie could not understand a single word, but who cared?

The soul that was moving wildly began to summon all sorts of weapons. Giant Hammer, Giant Axe, Broadsword… but they were all useless. Since they were all melee weapons, they were of no threat to Lin Jie and his Silent Killer. In fact, over 80% of Ogres were melee-fighters.

Lin Jie stood afar and continued to shoot as he consumed a bottle of Middle-Grade Agility Pills, which could increase the Attack Speed of far-distance attacks. This was the reason Hunters with high-agility jobs attacked like machine guns.

‘Silent Killer’s attack is getting weaker,’ thought Lin Jie. After all, he was a Warrior, and his strength would decrease when using ranged weapons. Back then, Silent Killer was only powerful because his basic stats far exceeded others. Now that everyone was at a higher level, he was slowly losing this advantage.

Lin Jie needed to upgrade Silent Killer! That young weapon engineer called Fire Bomb might be able to help him. Lin Jie’s attacks did not let up even as he drafted up his plan for his improvements in his mind. He continued to reload and shoot calmly, dealing the greatest possible damage he could.

Normally, Lin Jie would have used Broken Blade and practiced his combo attack for greater efficiency. However, the whereabouts of the two Bandits were unknown as of now, and he had to remain vigilant.

Although it might seem as if he was being overly-paranoid, this was also a form of training for himself. It was as if there were two Bandits waiting to pounce at him from the back at any given time. This ensured that Lin Jie had to be alert all the time and be in a defensive state, which served as good training for his awareness.

Since the Ogre Prophet was in a phantom state, his health recovery was extremely slow. As Lin Jie slowly depleted its health, it could do nothing but cry out crazily.

When its health dropped to 20%, the Boss suddenly roared and used the Enraged Skill [Soul Resurrection], which temporarily increased all of its stats by 150% for 4 minutes. However, this was nothing but a tantrum, and it only gave Lin Jie, who was shooting from afar, more joy in killing it.

After 3.5 hours, Lin Jie finally took down the Boss’ last bit of health! Luckily, he was using Silent Killer, which could shoot 5 consecutive shots. If it were a normal Dark Gold fire gun or even one that was Gold, it would have taken him over 10 hours!

Ding~

—’You have killed the Dark Gold Boss [Ogre Prophet Gaulon]. You received 5,000,000 EXP and 400 Guild of Light Reputation.’

Lin Jie looked at his experience bar, and it had increased by a whopping 8%! On top of that, the Boss dropped three items. They were crude and dirty—leather, a totem, and a key.

[Ogre Prophet’s Mould]: Special item. Consumable item. The Ogres’ large bodies often kept them exposed, so the smart Prophet created a mold, which could absorb the essence of equipment and change them into equipment that would suit an Ogre’s body.

Effect: It smelts 5 to 10 fragments of equipment and changed them into an equipment fragment of the same grade.

“A mold?” Lin Jie was slightly shocked. This item was extremely rare, and it could smelt equipment fragments into others of the same grade. However, this was a trade that gave no profits. After smelting 5 to 10 Dark Gold Fragments, only one Dark Gold Fragment would be produced. Unless one was missing an extremely high-grade Dark Gold Fragment, nobody in their right mind would be willing to spend this money.

Lin Jie kept the mold for now in case there would be a time he would need it in the future.

The second item was a totem. It was grey and looked like a ball carved from marble with many Ogres carved onto it. The violent howls of souls could be heard coming out of it, and it was unbearable.

[Munjo Totem]: It takes 3 minutes to cast and 3 minutes for cooldown. It increases the Attack Power of allies within a 50-yards radius by 10%. The totem has 300 health points and will disappear once destroyed.

Munjo Totem was a decent item for group buffs, but the time needed to cast and for cooldown was too long. The last item drop was [Key Fragment] (One). He would be able to combine four to form a Munjo Treasure Vault Key! As he took the key, Lin Jie instantly received a system prompt message. He had gotten the [Munjo Prince’s Blessings], which increased his stats by 5% in the underground city.

Lin Jie held the key and smiled. The most rewarding part of this trip was the pile of food! He quickly kept the loot and summoned Holy Light Winged Armor, allowing it to devour the soul of Munjo Ogre Prophet.

Holy Light Winged Armor shook excitedly in its brilliant light. The soul of the Ogre Prophet let out a heart-wrenching wail indignantly but was devoured by the Holy Light Winged Armor.
