Reborn: Super God of War

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The larger its body, the stronger the strength of the monster. That was a universally applicable fact.

Skeleton Kodo’s body was as large as a behemoth, while its Strength Judgement must be extremely powerful. The only ones who could stand shoulder to shoulder with those wild undead were the undead creatures that were forcefully fused together using black magic.

Skeleton Kodo: Level 23 Boss, Health Points 120,000

Health Points up to 120,000, and the combat terrain was desert. Even if it was Lin Jie, it would be extremely difficult to battle the Boss one on one without using any special means.

Baili Changcheng looked at Skeleton Kodo and swallowed his saliva resolutely.

“ROAR—”

Skeleton Kodo gazed at the creatures in front of it, and its sharp cheekbones collided. Flinging its huge body, icy blasts of wind mixed with those ghastly and bloodcurdling, sharp bone claws blew towards Baili Changcheng violently!

Baili Changcheng held his fine sword firmly, and as he found the right timing, he raised his sword high up. Icicles jumped out from the tip of the sword, and like a meteor, they were pierced into the leg bones of Skeleton Kodo.

-19!

This damage was as inconspicuous as the light of a firefly.

The bones of the undead were the toughest! Baili Changcheng had also noticed this point!

Skeleton Kodo’s attacks were more simple, being repetitive, but it was also more irascible. Seeing how Kodo swayed its repulsive head, which still had some rotting flesh towards him, licking him, Baili Changcheng’s shrewd eyes flashed, and he actually rushed up towards the head!

Lin Jie silently watched from afar. Truth to be told, playing games also required talent. The biggest weakness of Skeleton Kodo was the fear of others getting close to it! Honestly, it was hard for anyone to imagine that point. In the face of such a huge undead, perhaps the first reaction of a normal person was to retreat.

“Wow, haha…” Baili Changcheng’s excited laughter spread far away. He moved with one of his skills and elegantly dodged the huge blood-red mouth of Skeleton Kodo.

At that moment, he found out that on its big face, the flesh beside its eyes had already fallen out, leaving only a concave hole between its two bones. By utilizing the skill Sprint, he accurately landed on it. Then, he used his longsword with icy cold air, agilely stabbing it into the rotten eyeball of Skeleton Kodo! It was also thanks to this Skeleton Kodo that did not die thoroughly, there was still rotten flesh attached to its bones. If it was purely skeletons, there would be no such weakness.

-58!

-63!

…

Baili Changcheng’s attack was very stable. Skeleton Kodo was twisting its body violently, trying to fling the little bug on its head down. Strong and sharp gales of wind ran wild, but they could only chip away a bit of Baili Changcheng’s Health Points.

Baili Changcheng was like a gadfly that had eyed its target, tightly sticking into the Kodo’s head.

As time passed, Baili Changcheng’s movement became more and more skilled, taking advantage of Skeleton Kodo’s weakness efficiently. The sound of the longsword piercing into its eye was stable and rhythmical. Soon, the Health Points of Skeleton Kodo were reduced to half! If that situation continued, he could even kill the Boss that was more than ten levels above him!

At that time, Skeleton Kodo finally got angry!

Even if the undead did not have a brain, after being humiliated continuously by a small fly, it could also fume in anger. Skeleton Kodo writhed its body more frantically, and it suddenly dug into the desert, burrowing under the sand like a sandworm.

Baili Changcheng was surprised and quickly jumped from the Kodo’s head and stood on the desert.

“Damn it!” Baili Changcheng bent his body slightly, slowly turning his visual angle. He was on guard while looking at the shifting sand.

BOOM!

The sand surged up like enormous rough sea waves! Skeleton Kodo’s body sprinted out like a whale, its sharp bones piercing towards the head of Baili Changcheng. As long as that strike met its target, he would undoubtedly be insta-killed.

“Ding—”

A sharp collision sound echoed. Baili Changcheng did not suffer any damages. Instead, he flew into the air with that attack, detaching from the sandy ground. His whole body was covered with a layer of ice, like an iceman!

Ice Armor: Elemental Swordsman’s exclusive skill. You will be covered in a layer of ice, reducing 20% damage, lasting 5 seconds. Cooldown time is 20 minutes. When you specialize in ice element, activating Ice Armor will immunize attacks received within 1 second.

In the air!

Baili Changcheng quickly adjusted his body, finding the accurate angle, and he jumped gently, preparing to land on the head of the Skeleton Kodo again!

Skeleton Kodo could use Burrow only once!

At that moment, Baili Changcheng was horrified to find that his body could not move, and what immediately followed after was the Skeleton Kodo’s raging attack, most likely his body was to be pierced through ruthlessly!

Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, there was a Bandit!

Sure enough, there was a fluctuation in the emptiness, and a Bandit with dark yellow camouflage smeared all over his body appeared.

He was extremely difficult to notice in the yellow sand. The powerful crossbow he placed in his hand silently had an arrow, and on the tip of the arrow was still some light purple venom.

‘The venom created by grinding the rare crop Ro Vines, the market price is at least 5 silver coins a bottle. It can only be applied 3 times, he’s really willing to pay the cost!’ Lin Jie was shocked.

This Bandit looked very ordinary, belonging to the type that was difficult to find when he was in a crowd. However, this kind of looks was exactly what a Bandit should have. A certain someone named Dead Fish Eye would easily leave a deep impression to people.

However, on his forehead, there were three scars that looked like forehead wrinkles. After beautification from the system, it was hard to notice.

This Bandit was called “Scar”‘, and he was under Baili Xuanyuan’s command. He was a very powerful Bandit that specialized in accepting tasks like assassinations, sneak attacks and so on. He would approach without casting a shadow and leave without leaving a trace. He was also extremely insidious when he took action.

The crossbow on his hand was a level 0 equipment, so its attack was exceptionally low. There was completely no damage when it hit Baili Changcheng. Moreover, Ro Vines’ venom only had a short-term paralysis effect, there was no damage value at all. If one was not staring at the battle prompt bar the whole time, they would not even be able to realize that they had already been hit.

‘Why did Scar attack Baili Changcheng?’

At that time, Baili Changcheng had not noticed this, because the bone spurs of Skeleton Kodo that were like inverted sharp spears stood on the ground. As long as he fell onto them, he would definitely die! This mission would also fail! Unfortunately, his body just couldn’t move; otherwise, he would definitely be able to escape.

“Boom-”

At that moment, a figure broke through the swirling yellow sand, charging towards Baili Changcheng fiercely. He brutally shoved Baili Changcheng away, evading the deadly attack!

That person was naturally Lin Jie!

“Brother, it’s you! Why are you here?” Baili Changcheng who just barely escaped death shouted in surprise.

Lin Jie’s face was cold. “We’ll talk about it later, lend me a helping hand and kill this Bandit!”

“Bandit? F*ck! No wonder my body could not move for no reason! It turns out I have been poisoned. I was too high when abusing the Boss and I did not see the system prompt message.”

Before Scar came to assassinate, he was already prepared for everything. Dark yellow-colored sand camouflage matched with the Skill of Bandit. Even if he was very near, he still would not be detected.

Although Baili Changcheng’s skills were not bad, he was still far from having the battle instincts that sank in through the years!

Lin Jie’s eyes fixated at the yellow sand in front of him. It was said that Scar was of military origin in reality, and his Stealth Move skill was very strong. Usually, even if it was Lin Jie, finding him would also need to a great deal of effort.

However, now, with Skeleton Kodo, this plague, Scar had to dodge its attack. Even so, his Stealth Move was still ingenious, but Lin Jie had already speculated his hiding spot. With a swing of his longsword, Blade Aura was unleashed, and Scar’s body appeared from the hit.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

In just half a second, Lin Jie’s longsword had already arrived. The raging flames from Flame Boost overflowed, slashing towards Scar!

“I’ll help you! Power of the elements, Flame Blade!” Baili Changcheng gathered a blade and accompanied by Lin Jie’s attack, they landed together.

Blood Light Multi-Slash!

Lin Jie’s strongest attack burst out, dealing 800 points of damage. Scar’s health bar dropped to zero almost instantly. What immediately followed after was the Flame Blade that directly killed him!

“Phew, that nearly scared me to death. If it were not for you, I would have already died.” Baili Changcheng’s heart was still fluttering with fear. He stepped on Scar’s corpse ferociously and asked, “Who the heck is this bast*rd? Did he sneak-attack me because he saw how handsome I am? He was really shameless!”

Lin Jie had a dry cough, too lazy to answer him, and then he pointed at Skeleton Kodo beside them. “This Boss, are you killing it or not?”

“Bullsh*t, of course, I’m going to kill… F*ck, full health? How long have I not attacked it?” Baili Changcheng shouted depressingly. While the both of them were killing Scar, Skeleton Kodo had activated the skill Death Resist. If it did not receive damage within 5 seconds, then its health bar would be fully regenerated.

Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “Alright, let’s kill it again.”

‘Scar was Baili Xuanyuan’s subordinate, he wanted to kill Baili Changcheng. This proves that Baili Changcheng and Baili Xuanyuan are temporarily in antagonistic relations! If so, then Baili Changcheng is of value for me to use! Baili, you betrayed me in my previous life, in this life, you shall slowly repay me!’ Lin Jie thought in his heart secretly, slowly calming down.

Lin Jie squinted his eyes slightly, complicated feelings were replaying in his brain. Baili Changcheng was both the Sword Emperor that had killed him in the War of the Gods and the brother that had helped him tank countless of skills on the battlefield.

‘No matter what, I’ll just lend him a hand first.’

Both of them directed their attention to the Skeleton Kodo.

“Oh right, just now when you appeared, I suddenly felt like you were a superhero that fell from the sky! You were as strong as the anime character that I’ve been watching for 10 years since young, beautiful…”

“Hold on, hold on, beautiful? What anime did you watch?”

“Sailor Moon Generation 47.”

“…”

Both of them had tacit cooperation, even though Skeleton Kodo was powerful, under the premise of its weak point being exposed and coupled with their excellent teamwork, it did not have any power to resist.

Half an hour later, Skeleton Kodo wailed and died.

Baili Changcheng broke a bone from Skeleton Kodo and stuffed it into his backpack. He smiled as he said, “Ok, mission complete. Brother, I’ll treat you a drink, just at the City of Light Inn. I’ll go hand in the mission.”

After that, Baili Changcheng ecstatically ran off.

Lin Jie smiled faintly and headed towards the City of Light Inn.

Once he entered the inn, Baili Changcheng was having fun. He was laughing while talking to a woman, his right hand silently rounded the stool, tapping on the woman’s shoulder.

Slap!

“Pervert!” The woman gave him a smack and left angrily.

Lin Jie gave a dry cough and sat in front of Baili Changcheng, saying calmly, “The women in inns are all the system’s waiters. They do not accept any kind of touching and taking advantage of them.”

Baili Changcheng glared at him. “Who wants to touch? I was only helping her kill a mosquito.”

“Come, let’s drink!” Baili Changcheng poured a fuchsia colored wine into a goblet, raising it gently, he said in a classy manner, “Cheers.”

Lin Jie could not continue watching, he poured away the normal grape wine that only cost 5 bronze coins per cup and changed to Hoda Manor’s grape wine that was 10 silver coins per bottle. He poured it into the wineglass and whispered, “Baili, don’t do that with wine that bronze coins could buy, it’s very humiliating.”

“F*ck, I usually only drink ale that costs 1 bronze coin. 5 bronze coins were already very luxurious, okay?” Baili Changcheng was a bit drunk.

Drinking within the game would also stimulate the brain, bringing about the drunken feel, but would not cause any harm to the body in reality, so it was very welcomed by drunkards.

He Baili Changcheng looked at the Hodo Manor’s grape wine, and his eyes lit up. He said while licking his lips, “Fu Sheng, how about you be my big brother? Just buy me some good wine to drink.”

Lin Jie couldn’t help but smile. “Your family owns an energy company. You still don’t have good wine to drink?”

Baili Changcheng kept silent. He only spoke after a long while, “I hate using other people’s money to buy wine.”

“My money is not others’ money?” Lin Jie glared at him.

“Be my big brother. As the big brother, giving your little brother money is only natural, right?”

Both of them chit-chatted for a total of 1 hour. Indeed, Baili Changcheng really liked drinking wine, but this guy seemed to be a bad drinker. He walked around shakily, wanting to use this expensive wine to show off. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

One had to know that 10 silver coins were about the entire assets of a normal player, using this type of wine to hit on girls was quite attractive. He took a glass and ran to the front of the bar and asked a sexy beauty, “Hey beautiful, would you like to hang out?”

“Pui!” The beauty ruthlessly spat at him, turned and left.

“Did you see that? That beauty drooled when she saw me,” said Baili Changcheng arrogantly to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie was speechless.

Ding~

Lin Jie’s communication device rang, it was Qiu Yuan.

“Fu Sheng, I have a good friend that wants to go for Muddy Swamp dungeon, come and help us?”

When the first player reached level 10, countless dungeons appeared in The New Age. Players could choose their training grounds freely, so recently, all the major guilds were very quiet, especially organizing teams to start clearing all kinds and sorts of dungeons.

Amongst them, there were a few dungeons that were highly praised, being the most suitable for players to level up and get items – Muddy Swamp was one of them!

Level 8 dungeon, its terrain effect was 30% reduction in movement speed, and this effect was also effective to monsters. Together with some skills that reduced speed, one could easily farm monsters without getting injured.

“My level is too high for that dungeon. If I go, I will split the experience right?” Lin Jie questioned.

“I don’t care, come here quickly, I have already bragged…” Qiu Yuan said weakly, “I will introduce a great beauty…”

Lin Jie’s eyes brightened. “I’ll come immediately!”

“Pervert!” Qiu Yuan despised him.

A pretty face emerged in his mind, shaking off the yearning thoughts, he immediately set out.

However, at this time, Baili Changcheng actually… fell asleep! His deafening snoring sounds received countless strange stares from drinkers one after another.

“F*ck, go offline and then sleep,” Lin Jie shouted, “I’m not going to care about you, I have to go to Muddy Swamp.”

“Go offline? Off your arse…” Baili Changcheng murmured, and his body disappeared. He went offline.
