Chapter 581 - White Cloth Scholar (1/2)
“Protect the rune formation!” exclaimed Venom Snake.
The Life Rune did not belong to the runes that existed within the game. In actual fact, even Rune Masters, such as Hardworking Pants, only had knowledge of a couple of hundreds of runes, and they were all basic runes.
Runes were just like the 26 letters of the alphabet as they could be mixed and matched up to form many words. The English language only had 26 letters, however, there were up to hundreds of basic runes. Thus, one could imagine the large number and variety of rune formations that could be born out of them! This was also one of the reasons many players did not want to step into that field.
Even in the other land, there was only a small number of people who researched the runes. And the Soul Formation was one of their most precious works to date. It was a powerful rune formation that was capable of reviving the dead!
Fierce Wolf ground his teeth as he used his rune-maker authority to pause the formation.
Some explanations regarding the rune formation: After forming a rune formation, it would enter operation mode immediately, and it couldn’t be shifted and unloaded, unless the rune formation was destroyed. However, the rune creator would be able to pause the operation and transform it into an item. However, despite such efforts, the rune’s powers would still deplete over time.
Fierce Wolf planned to pause the rune formation and keep it in his backpack.
“Soul Knights charge!” roared Venom Snake as he raised his long spear and produced nine duplicates of himself. They shrieked and wailed as they bolted towards Lin Jie!
“Death Grip!” Lin Jie disregarded it all as he grabbed onto Fierce Wolf’s calves and vowed to destroy the rune formation! A thought occurred to Fierce Wolf as he activated the Explosion Hurl and shot his glaive out. He accurately calculated the distance and speed of Star Fall such that it would collide with the meteor!
At that moment, the Forward Charge Soul Paladin petrified Lin Jie for half a second, breaking his Death Grip!
Fierce Wolf tumbled and was about to grab the runes in his hands.
Screech—
A sharp screech sounded in his ears as a silvery light ray zapped across to capture the rune. It was the Crescent Silver-Feathered Eagle! It let out an excited shriek and perched happily onto Lin Jie’s shoulder.
“Well done!” Lin Jie took the rune and praised, “It’s a new rune? Rune formations are hard to innovate, and based on The New Age’s record, it will take over ten years to create a new rune since the entire rune could fail if there was a single mistake in the arrangement. It’s amazing that you guys were able to create a new rune that was related to life!”
Fierce Wolf growled, “You, what are you planning to do? If you are sensible, you will place the rune down. Otherwise—”
“Otherwise, what?” Lin Jie smiled.
“Otherwise, it will be treason!” Fierce Wolf was enraged. “Why do you think we are doing this?”
“I don’t know, but I am not interested either. Contrary to that, I have a greater interest in you guys.” Lin Jie’s mouth twitched as he didn’t want to hear anymore, babbling about loyalty and patriotism. He whipped his Broken Blade and flicked the blade tip tauntingly as he laughed. “Let’s fight? Both at once?”
Fierce Wolf fumed in anger. “Venom Snake, go! Instakill this arrogant boy!”
Fallen Blood General•Fierce Wolf! He was the most explosive player in the team, unlike the usual Berserkers that were dual-wielding, he only had one weapon, and that was the [Adma Glaive] that he carried on his back. Other than its powerful attributes, it had another additional effect.
[Adma Glaive]: When the duration between your current and previous attacks increases, the damage inflicted will also increase!
Taking this effect as his footing, he created a battle pattern for himself, known as Extreme Explosion!
“Streamline Step!” Fierce Wolf’s feet shifted as he left behind a lifelike appearance on the spot. At the same time, his sharp sword grew brighter! This was Adma Glaive’s additional effect, where the glaive was capable of absorbing its host’s life to enhance all of its attributes! This was also one of the most highly sought after Berserker’s skills—Autonomous Blood Loss! It was a skill that allowed for precise control of one’s health points to unleash the strongest techniques.
Fierce Wolf unleashed Streamline Step, and his body grew illusory and translucent, while his doppelgangers were duplicated. With every new doppelganger, his blade shone brighter, emitting a Blade Aura that almost blinded the masses.
Blood Power! Heart of Enrage!
Blood pumped vigorously through Fierce Wolf’s body as flurry noises sounded from his veins! It was the sound of intense blood hydraulic flow!
“Adma Judgement!” In a flash, Fierce Wolf landed behind Lin Jie and slashed his two-meters-long glaive down. The glaive shone bright gold as it exuded a powerful aura! The Adma Judgement was a mighty skill that possessed 100% Defense Disregard, and hence he had to succeed in one attack!
Venom Snake didn’t idle as he probed his right hand forward and brought his left hand to his heart and growled, “Unbreakable Seal!”
