Super God of War Chapter 271 - Roll it, Meatball!

“Gion, run towards the sea with me now!”

Lin Jie rushed towards the sea after he shouted those words. The Level 4 Ring of Sea would allow him to gain 10% Life-Steal abilities and Attack Deflection. The Life-Steal ability was a really important Stats, and it was even more so for the Attack Deflection skill! After all, the Simon Pirates' attacks were too strong—even if one could just be immuned to one shot, it would be considered a huge gain!

At this moment, Lin Jie took a glance at Gion's skills.

[Level 4 Marine Force]: Allows you to shoot a Water Arrow, which can bounce eight times. When your target is your comrade, it can heal 200% of his Attack Power's worth of health points. When your target is your enemy, it can cause 50% of his Attack Power's worth of damage.

[Level 4 Hardened Scale]: It can increase 300 Defense points for you temporarily. This effect can be sustained for five seconds, and the cooldown time is one minute.

[Level 4 Howling]: It can be used on monsters within a 10*10 meters area, and petrify it for five seconds. This result would deteriorate over time. Cooldown time is 20 seconds.

[Level 4 Wrath of Sea]: ???

Other than the unknown attack styles and effects of the Wrath of Sea skill, the rest of the skills Gion owned already determined Gion's main role as a carry. It's not a pure-combat style boss, but it had great carrying abilities.

All five pirates fired bullets into the sky, and they added all kinds of combat Buffs on themselves, increasing 10% of all their Stats. This was a skill that all Pirate jobs could use, and one of the strongest endorsement skills around in The New Age.

Lin Jie and the Naga Gion had reached the beach now, and they were reliving in the endorsement effects by the Ring of Sea.

“Fire!”

All five pirates took out their guns and aimed at Lin Jie. The guns' muzzles shook, and five shots of bullets were shot straight at him from each gun. This was the Fire Gun Specialist's skill——Firearms Judgment. The target being hit would die or at the very least, become paralyzed once hit by these bullets!

“Gion, block them!” ordered Lin Jie. With a wave of his right hand, which was holding Broken Blade, a flaming gust of blade aura shot towards the sky, and he activated Hunter's Forward Charge!

At the same time, the Naga Gion's scales, which covered its entire body, erected with ‘Kabkaba' sounds, and the Hardened Scale skill was activated! It immediately increased 500 Defense points for Gion, and offset most of the damage. Even though all 25 bullets hit the target, it only caused 3,000 Damage Dealt, which was replenished fast enough by a Marine Force skill.

“Howling!”

A sharp shrill exploded. All five pirates wore petrified expressions on their faces as if they had witnessed the scariest scene ever and ran all over the place.

Lin Jie commended Gion's attack, and he gulped down a bottle of the Berserker Potion. Following which, he dealt out a combo attack of Shield Cut and Army Obliteration at the pirates' chests. Broken Blade with the activated Flame Boost skill penetrated through their bodies, and with loud sword hums, batches of damage figures jumped out of their heads.

-1,726!

-837! -1,628! -803! -855!

With the splash damage caused by the Flame Boost skill and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner skill, the pirates' health bars were visibly decreased. Lin Jie directed Gion's attacks while he dealt out blow after blow. Meanwhile, he stopped Gion from using the healing skill on himself. Broken Blade and Thunderbolt Sword kept slitting past the pirates' throats, causing numerous weak point damage.

Petrify was dispelled!

The pirates who finally regained their senses gave Lin Jie a shot each. Lin Jie could not escape in time and was hit, and his health bar was almost emptied! When the pirates saw this, they wanted to continue firing shots at this human being from the alternate realms and end his life. However, Lin Jie suddenly made a loud growl—the Outraged Roar! The pirates fell under his controlling spell again.

Lin Jie curved up his lips. His health bar was now almost all empty, and he could feel a great surge of energy and power gathering at his arms—it was the effects from Blood Power and Death Rage!

‘It's now or never!'

Lin Jie's Attack Power rose steadily. As his health bar was kept super low, the prowess of being a Berserker was exhibited fully—Blood Power had increased 50% of his Attack Power, increased his Critical strike chance, Critical Hit Damage, and Strength Judgement abilities. With the Death Rage skill, his Attack was increased by 180%, hence increasing his Critical Hit Damage again and a the same time allowing him to have damage reduction…

“Shield Cut!” With a loud cry, Broken Blade shone brightly, and it slashed opened a pirate's chest——

-3,574!

Broken Blade turned in another direction, and Lin Jie activated Weakness Exploit! This time round, Lin Jie felt exhilarated as he made another Critical Hit!

-7,000!

‘Boom!'——the pirate's health bar dropped swiftly, and almost reached zero in the blink of an eye!

After the pirate regained his consciousness from the Outraged Roar skill, he took up his sword and slashed it down upon Lin Jie angrily. Lin Jie did not bother to evade this move, but rather he activated the Undefeated Anger skill and met this blow head-on without caring a heck about his own health bar! Blade auras exploded everywhere, and this particular pirate was flung up high into the air, falling back down on the ground to a tragic death!

A drop of Blood Essence revolved about in the air, and entered Lin Jie's body with a loud ‘swoosh'!

Combo activated!

Lin Jie couldn't help but burst out laughing in exhilaration. The health regenerating effects brought about by the Blood Essence was negligible, but its most important effect lies in being able to help increase the player's Attack Power! One point of damage inflicted upon the enemy could be multiplied by three, four, or even five times now! With such an earth-shaking damage output, fighting against these five pirates would be as easy as cutting vegetables.

Indeed, in just the five seconds that followed, all pirates were killed!

The Simon Pirates were rampant for some time now and had almost taken charge of all the marine territories around the Crying Bay. Naturally, the pirates would carry lots of their gains on them. They dropped their Pirate's Caps, Pirate's Costumes, and even an eye-shield too.

Ding~

—'You received three silver coins.'

—'You received the [Simon Pirates' Symbol].'

The Simon Pirates were monsters under arrest by the Guild's orders. The symbol which one got from killing them could be used to exchange for EXP points and Blessings by the Holy Church or be used to exchange for money and official ranks with the Empire.

The five Simon Pirates dropped 17 Silver Coins. This was a great haul.

If only he could kill all the pirates on the ship, he would gain a tremendous amount of wealth.

Come of think of it, the Crying Bay could also be considered as a Hidden Map. It was not rare for one to get such handsome rewards here then—after all, not anyone had the ability to come here.

There were some hustle and bustle among the pirates on the pirates' ship—it seemed like they were surprised that these five Enhanced Elites were unable to get rid of a weak human being from the alternate realms. Five pirates were sent out again and growled loudly as they charged at them.

“Gion, don't increase my health bar, just concentrate on attacking them!” shouted Lin Jie. After the Combo Attacks were activated, Lin Jie's Attack Power had become all the more terrifying. As long as some time was given to him, he was sure he could just instakill any Enhanced Elite!

Gion nodded, “Yes, my Lord.”

From how he addressed Lin Jie, it was obvious that this Naga was deeply impressed by him.

The five pirates took out their guns——

“I f*ck… Gion, help me block!”

“Yes, my Lord.”

The Gold-tiered Boss Naga Gion ended up as a life shield for Lin Jie tragically. After all, its Hardened Scale allowed it to increase 300 Defense points, and its health bar was higher than Lin Jie by hundreds of times. Such was the advantage of being a Boss.

Most importantly… The Simon Pirates' bullets were too strong—Lin Jie would never be able to withstand even one shot from them now!

Lin Jie became very absorbed in his killing, with Gion trailing behind him in exhilaration and admiration. In fact, it even asked Lin Jie in a quizzical voice, “Why won't all these pirates attack us at one go? We will be dead if they do so.”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes, laughed, and said, “Yes, and since you know we will die if they attack us all at a go, why bother to ask this?”

“Er… I am just puzzled. However, I once heard the Son of Sea said before that all human beings from the alternate realms have oracles set upon them,” Naga Gion shook its head and decided not to pursue this matter further.

No matter what, The New Age was still a game. Given its gaming nature, the game creators would thus never design any missions that would be impossible to be taken down by the players. According to Lin Jie's understanding of The New Age, although this Epic grade mission's difficulty levels were high, the game creators wouldn't send out an entire ship of Enhanced Elite monsters to test the gamers' skills.

It seemed like this mission's progression was unexpected by them. If not, the Naga Gion wouldn't be providing help for him during this mission, and thus it made sense that the pirates would never attack all at a go. Or else even a few hundred copies of Lin Jie would be blasted to death no matter how powerful he was.

With the help from an NPC, the difficulty levels Lin Jie faced when fighting against five pirates at a go was just right. This was definitely the system's way of achieving balance and restraint!

Lin Jie was becoming getting more used at tackling the pirates. However, it was undeniable that he felt more and more pressurized too——every batch of pirates seemed to have some increase in their abilities.

“Enough! You useless bums!” With a loud cry, a lump of flesh actually jumped down from the pirates' ship—oh no, it was actually a human being, but it just looked too much like a lump of flesh!

It was at least two meters in height, and all sorts of cloth were draped across its body. The green crooked Pirate's Cap was placed on its top as if to signify to everyone that this was where its head was supposed to be.

[Simon Pirate·Dinghy] (Gold Boss)

Level: 45

Health Points: 190,000

Attack: 728-900

Defense: 300

Additional effect: Flesh Bomb (All Damage Received will be reduced by 90%.)

‘Grrrdong, Grrrdong—'

The Boss was like an enraged motorbike and started rolling around on the spot. Sand and mud flew about everywhere, and spine-chilling sounds were given off. Following which, it rolled towards Lin Jie as if a boulder was rolling down a mountain slope!

It was actually—a Flesh Bomb chariot!

Lin Jie's pupils constricted. Although he had nimble reflexes, the Boss's attack range was too big, and it managed to bump Lin Jie out of its path!

-760!

The Damage Dealt wasn't too high, though the attack could fling people out, coupled with the fact that it had a strong Damage Immunity… Lin Jie did a quick analysis of this Boss's capabilities and realized that this Boss was totally meant for destroying teams! Just imagine the addition of such a huge fellow within the organized array of a team during a climactic fight—what would happen then?

‘Ruin teams, ruin teams…' Lin Jie's eyes gleamed as he had an idea. He hurriedly asked, “Gion, do you have the ability to condense seawater and make them form any shapes you want it to?”

Naga Gion strutted out its chest proudly and said, “Nagas are known for their manipulation skills of the seas.”

“Great. Use the seawater and construct a slide, making it land off at the top of the pirates' ship.”

“A sli… slide?”

“Yes, it's like, like… like the breasts of the Naga named Milaji, there are some protruded surface and some flat surfaces at times. Do you understand what I am trying to describe?”

“My lord… she's my mate.”

Gion turned red, but with a wave of its hands, pillars of seawater rose up and formed a slide… umm, except that there were two small stone-like structures above the tip-most of the slide.

‘Ah, forget it, I have no time to correct it.'

“Great!” shouted Lin Jie as he stepped on the slide—he did not slip off. A Naga's powers were indeed fascinating.

Boom-boom-boom—

The Boss meatball was still rolling and smashing all around, and after it corrected its aim, its speed doubled! It was as if someone had dug great pits out of the grounds where the Boss had rolled on previously, leaving a ghastly trial behind the great lumpy flesh.

Lin Jie took a glance behind his shoulders—the Boss was nearing him! He activated Wild Charge and charged straight towards the top of the slide. The Boss chased after him and caught up.

“It's now, dismiss your spell!”

Lin Jie had already reached the top of the slide, and looking at the Boss, which was smashing towards him, he gave a loud shout!

Whoosh—

The sea waters suddenly dispersed, and Lin Jie fell down into the sea.

Meanwhile, the Boss flew across the mid-air in a beautiful, graceful, and grand arc, landing upon the pirates' ship with a loud boom!

“Roll it, meatball!”
