Chapter 542: Dark Emperor

Chapter 542: Dark Emperor

“Human? He’s actually a Guild player?” Dark Craze was slightly surprised as he looked at Lin Jie, who was trapped by the Undead Chain. In the end, the corners of his mouth gradually curved up, and he started to laugh arrogantly like a madman. “Hahaha, brother, it’s really a Guild player! That’s wonderful, if we kill him, we can obtain a large amount of Commendation Signets and battle merits to exchange for the Gladiator Set. Also, Guild items can be dropped, and there’s a 100% chance of dropping an item after killing enemies of the opposite camp!”

The brother in Dark Craze’s mouth was a Warrior wearing heavy armor, and his height was as tall as 210cm. He was wrapped tightly within his iron armor. He walked towards Lin Jie and said, “A player?”

Naturally, Lin Jie could not understand their language, but the saying, “He who comes is surely ill-intentioned, no-one well-meaning will come”, Lin Jie knew it too well.

The Undead Chain was a racial trait skill of Undead players, and it lasted as long as 20 seconds. Unless the caster received damage, the skill would not be dispelled.

“Brother, it was he who pulled the monsters to kill us. Not only did he cause us to get wiped out, but the reward of Blood Vigor Pedicle had also gone down the drain.” Upon recalling the mission that he had managed to obtain, Dark Craze’s face was instantly filled with killing intent. He said fiercely, “There’s no time to waste. Let’s kill him immediately!”

“Wait!” The Warrior wearing heavy armor frowned and said, “The passageway between camps has not been completely opened yet. He must have used some special item to come here. We’ll be letting him off too lightly if we just kill him. Dark Craze, bring 20 comrades to guard him. After we kill Alpistin and complete my trial mission, we’ll bring him to the Dead’s Holy Land. We’ll kill him until he drops all his equipment.”

“Yes, Brother,” said Dark Craze as he held his fists and saluted. He excitedly smirked, and his gaze could not help but be filled with disdain and sympathy while looking at Lin Jie.

The Dead’s Holy Land was the Tribe’s exclusive benefit. After all players entered the Dead’s Holy Land, they would immediately revive in the Dead’s Holy Land after death in the next 24 hours, and they would not lose EXP. Meanwhile, using it with another method would be equal to being able to kill players once every 24 hours and drop the items on them.

That person, who was addressed respectfully as Brother, was Blood-Sucking’s guild leader. It was the best guild in the Royal Capital of Darkness, and the man’s name was Dark Ink. Dark Craze’s Dark King title was not completely true. It was used to promote him and make him more well-known partially. However, if Dark Ink was mentioned, then everyone in the Royal Capital of Darkness would call him Dark Emperor.

The Royal Capital of Darkness’ scale was similar to the City of Light, and Dark Emperor’s status was equal to Codename Lone Wolf in the City of Light. In addition, that person was proficient in techniques like forming alliances and cooperating, so he had unified the Royal Capital of Darkness in a short period. The annihilation of Scarlet Mercenary, which had been famous for a while, had also been planned and executed by him.

After deciding on Lin Jie’s fate, Dark Emperor stretched out his finger and instantly carved obscure symbols on the ground. The team members instantly quietened down as they started to position themselves according to the symbol. That was the iconic commanding method of the Dark Emperor. After players stood according to the formation, not only was there enhancement in their attributes, they could work as one when moving, like controlling one’s arm.

‘So it’s Dark Emperor?’ Lin Jie struggled to escape from the Undead Chain but realized it was a futile effort. As a racial skill, it was naturally stronger than normal skills and was slightly more unusual. Also, the Tribe map had suppressed Lin Jie’s attributes to a certain degree. Thus, it was even more impossible to escape the chains’ control.

The 20+ people looked at Lin Jie with amusement. They all anticipated what this player of the enemy camp would face. However, that person seemed to be quite tactful. Upon seeing that he was unable to break free of the Undead Chain, he gradually quietened down and looked towards the battlefield.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this person’s mentality is above average,” said someone. “If it were me, most likely, I would have gone crazy. It can’t be that he didn’t read the camp battle rules before coming here, right?”

“Bullsh*t! Look at his equipment, at least Dark Gold. Such a type of person is definitely an expert. I think he’s come here to complete some special mission, but we just nicely captured him.”

“Take note of how long the Undead Chain lasts. He might be thinking of making us let our guards down!” shouted Dark Craze as he saw that his subordinates were getting lax.

Everyone’s face instantly turned serious, and they stopped joking around. They stared straight at the skill’s duration and cooldown time.

Lin Jie did not bother about it. All of his attention had been gathered towards Dark Emperor and his team.

Dark Emperor was similar to Lin Jie—they were both Berserkers. In terms of execution and techniques, Dark Emperor could not be compared to Lin Jie, but in the latter’s previous life, Dark Emperor had relied on “commanding” to become famous and not his skills.

Dark Emperor had been one of the few powerful ones in the group of famous commanders. His commanding method was especially special—he did not speak but used special symbols and marks!

That was not rare as many people had their own commanding style. For example, Lin Jie would use Dragon Armor Removal to smack the spot when he ordered Savage Blade members to gather fire at a certain target. They would instantly understand what he meant and attack to deal the highest outburst of damage. However, this needed a good sense of teamwork, and normal temporary teams could not do it.

Dark Emperor’s most powerful record in Lin Jie’s previous life was that he had relied on just 15,000 people to defeat an army of 10,000 from the Guild when the army of Guild had invaded the Tribe. Tunnel warfare, guerrilla warfare, and ambushes, he used all methods possible.

His subordinates seemed to be able to obtain information from him all the time and carry out his orders—they were extremely efficient.

‘If three walk together, one can be my teacher[1]’

Lin Jie was seizing every opportunity he had to learn, absorb, and increase his strength. Even if he was in adversity, he would also do so.

Dark Emperor glanced at Lin Jie and then concentrated on the Alpistin’s clone in front of him. What Lin Jie did not know was, Dark Emperor was the other person who had accepted the God of War’s trial! Also, as compared to Lin Jie, who was from the enemy camp, Dark Emperor had the absolute advantage.

However, Dark Emperor chose another way to complete the mission as he focused on the words “divine equipment [Fallen]” in the mission description. He had decided to destroy the divine equipment, and after a series of complicated missions, the mission hints were gradually pointed towards Alpistin. Only by defeating Alpistin could the surrounding seal of the divine equipment be broken. Therefore, he would be able to destroy Fallen and thus obtain the reward.

“Attack!” shouted Dark Emperor in a loud and deep voice.

The whole team immediately started to make a move like a robot! The symbols, which filled the ground, were vaguely gathered to form the shape of a bird nest. The inside was empty and did not have any symbols, while on each intersection point stood a player, surrounding the Boss.

Alpistin’s clone was a Sub-Legendary Boss, how could its battling powers be underestimated? That immense crescent axe in Alpistin’s hands was slashed towards an Undead player wearing Dark Gold equipment.

The air was like the water surface where ripples were created. A vast might locked onto the Shield Specialist, which made him unable to use any skills, revealing Alpistin’s powerful strength! When the targets’ Resistance was lower than 30 points, the Boss’ attacks would have a special effect of “100% accuracy” where one would not be able to dodge.

Just at that moment, the symbols on the ground suddenly shone, and a bright light soared into the sky.

“Bandits, activate Evasion and Protect!”

There was no need for someone to command as the 11 Bandits in the team had already activated Sprint and charged towards the Shield Specialists. Their bodies turned illusory—that was the Bandits’ exclusive skill [Evasion]. The Level-1 effect was to increase the dodging rate by 36% within three seconds, an additional 1% dodging rate would increase with each level raised—it was one of the life-saving skills of a Bandit. Swoosh, the Bandits lined up in a long line in front of the Shield Specialist.

The first Bandit’s luck was extremely good and directly missed the attack, the crescent axe’s strength instantly weakened, but its speed did not decrease and continued swinging down, slicing all of the Bandits consecutively. Besides the eighth Bandit, who was unlucky and was instakilled in one shot, the rest had all survived. That deadly attack against the Shield Specialist was thus resolved.

“Defense stance!” roared the Undead Shield Specialist and smashed his pitch-black shield at the Boss’ face. Immediately after, he slapped the Boss, and instantly the aggro towards him raised rapidly! Slapping was one of the basic skills of Shield Specialist. Although the slap’s damage was relatively low, there was a hidden effect. When the target’s level was higher than the attacker, the aggro obtained would be greatly increased.

Obviously, that Undead Shield Specialist was an expert! In terms of ability, although he could not be compared to Mixed Breathless, he was similar in strength to The Heavenly Shield.

Alpistin had entered Enraged Mode.

Its right hand suddenly swelled, like a dragon or that of a black python, and a smelly stench filled the surroundings. That hand started wantonly grabbing people, and instantly a few Mages were grasped in its hand. That was the Death Grip and its enhanced version at that. Lin Jie’s skill now could not be compared to the Undead General’s Death Grip.

Whoosh!

Just as the Boss unleashed its powers, the symbols distributed at the four corners started shining, and numerous lines also appeared on the ground. Instantly, everyone retreated crazily while following the lines. Although Death Grip was close to them, it did not grab anyone in the end!

‘Such strong judgment ability, this commander’s control over the distance has actually reached a frighteningly high degree. This is not something that can be learned in a short duration of time,’ though Lin Jie in his heart.

Dark Emperor’s commanding was very simple—the instant the Boss lifted its hand, he would make use of details, like the direction where the Boss moved its finger, eyes, body, or weapon, to predict the skill’s trajectory that was about to be released. Then Dark Emperor would use the symbols to command the team members to dodge.

As for those symbols, Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed. It looked like he had to kill that person and then ask.

Also, Dark Emperor gave Lin Jie an uneasy feeling. Although Lin Jie did not know why he had such a feeling, that did not affect him from putting Dark Emperor into his list of dangerous people.

Although the Undead players in the surroundings may look like they were doing their best at guarding, all of their attention was on that battle—it was a Sub-Legendary Boss! To them, it was an existence that they could only see when there was a system announcement.

“If only I could enter the leader’s team, that’d be great.”

“Hehehe, it’s not that simple! Blood-Sucking is one of the strongest teams in our Royal Capital of Darkness or even the whole Tribe.”

“Be careful! The Boss seems to have entered Enrage Mode.”
