Chapter 455 - 455 Ogre Prophet Gaulon
455 Ogre Prophet Gaulon
Lin Jie pushed aside the broken stones and rotting wood, and the picture on the floor was slowly revealed. It was the same as the sculpture outside, depicting the Wind Rider Sword Saint’s move. However, it was blurred, with half of the picture destroyed by the passing years.
He could not tell anything from this picture.
“Haha! Who would have thought that those of my kind, who are dumb enough to have gangrene, have already started to practice battle techniques?” Rocca appeared and observed the picture on the ground. He then laughed. “They must often be practicing, right? Otherwise, how could they be this weak in the face of some combo attack? Hahaha… and then they got devoured by that old fellow, hahaha…”
Lin Jie was startled. He then spoke to Rocca and found out about the origin and development of this map.
It turned out that the Wind Rider Sword Saint had once arrived at this realm while he was traveling. He had explored Munjo treasure vault and even given those Ogres a good beating! However, the Wind Rider Sword Saint had been a chunnibyou at that time and taken upon the mission to protect all lives in the world. As such, he could not bear to kill the Ogres and left the place.
Meanwhile, these Ogres had been enlightened by the Wind Rider Sword Saint. After they had witnessed his abilities, they had learned from him, hoping to make a comeback and dominate the world once again. Unfortunately, these Ogres had not been smart enough to create dummies for practice. Instead, they would directly spar with each other, which had even turned into compulsory training.
These dumb creatures did not know how to hold back their strength, which had resulted in the deaths and injuries of many. The Ogre Princess had then led those who were unwilling to partake in such terrible training and escaped to the surface.
As such, the moment the Ogres came into contact with the combo attack, their first reaction was that the damn Wind Rider Sword Saint was back to kill again. The second reaction was that their self-destruction tragedy was going to happen again. This was why they were extremely terrified.
Lin Jie pursed his lips and said, “Hide your body, don’t come out!”
Rocca was the only NPC on the map. It would be bad if those two Bandits spotted him.
“No, no! I have a mission to give you.” Rocca pouted and shook his head. “I owe the Wind Rider Sword Saint my gratitude, so I have the responsibility to serve his disciple. Since you can use Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, it means that you are really his disciple. I can lead the way to the Munjo Treasure Vault!”
“You’re being this nice?” Lin Jie asked skeptically.
“I am the Munjo Ogre Prince. Although this race is near extinction, I am still the prince. As long as there remains a single Munjo Ogre, this race will continue to exist in this world!” Rocca stood with his chest puffed out. He said seriously with a stern face, “I want to retrieve my crown. Even if I am to be sealed here forever, I have to prove the dignity of my race!”
He looked just like a defeated king, who had taken off his armor and worn a dragon robe, that personally led his army, vowing to die with his country!
Ding~
—’Do you accept the mission [Munjo Crown]?’
This was a conditional mission. Lin Jie would have to accept the mission for the NPC to give him the information regarding the Munjo Treasure Vault. Lin Jie thought about accepting the mission. However, he was still rather doubtful—Rocca had been sealed into a child by the Wind Rider Sword Saint, he must have some ulterior motive!
‘Think about it, how would you feel if you were originally a prince but ended up being turned into a useless child and forced to live poorly?’ Lin Jie asked himself the question. For him, he would be fuming mad and wanting to shred the Wind Rider Sword Saint to pieces! But what if he couldn’t beat the Wind Rider Sword Saint? Target his disciple instead?
“I accept.” Lin Jie carefully took up the mission.
“There are four keys in the Munjo Underground City. Find them all, and you’ll be able to open the gates of the treasure vault,” said Rocca, happily. He took out a map and handed it to Lin Jie. “I’ll go back to sleep. Once you find the four keys, I’ll appear again. Wind Rider Sword Saint’s disciple, good luck!”
Ding~
—”You received a special item [Munjo Underground City Map Expansion], your map has been updated.”
The moment Lin Jie received the map, he found out that there were a few more paths appearing on his map. One of the paths was right in front of him. He was completely shocked! The dumpster in front of him, which had nothing but debris, actually had a key hiding in it?
Lin Jie knelt down and looked around meticulously. He realized that there was a room hidden deep underground that was extremely difficult to spot. Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, and he immediately entered.
The map was [Munjo Room], and there was nothing interesting to see. The instant Lin Jie entered the underground room, he was stunned.
It was completely filled with food! There were over dozens of baskets filled with food. On top of that, there were a few gold bottles filled with unknown substances. These were resources and food stored by the Munjo Ogres! The entire room was around the size of half a soccer field. It was golden and brilliant, and the walls were covered in an Ogre’s totem mark of faith. There were four totems in the corner of the room, and their purpose was unknown.
Lin Jie immediately turned his gaze towards that food—
[Exquisite Magic Bread]: Food. It recovers 12,500 Health Points in 25 seconds. After 20 seconds of eating, your Endurance increases by an additional 25 points for 30 seconds.
[Inferior Dragon’s Blood Sake]: Food. It recovers 12,500 Mana Points. After 20 seconds of drinking, your total Mana increases by an additional 300 points, and your Mana Recovery increases by 20 points for 30 seconds.
…
There were baskets of roast meat, bread, sake, flour, and other food, which were all high-quality. Before Level 60, it was hard for players’ health to exceed 10,000 points, so that was the ideal food for those that were over Level 60. In just a basket of bread, there were 150 of them, and the same went for the other baskets filled with food. Lin Jie’s heart beat rapidly as he kept all of the food into his bag!
Although food was cheap, high-quality food was not.
For example, Lin Jie’s health bar was close to 6,000 points now. He usually ate plums produced in the City of Elves, which recovered 5,000 health points in 20 seconds, which was 2,500 points in 10 seconds with no additional effect. However, magic bread could recover around 5,000 health points in 10 seconds, which could save him a lot of time… Although this might seem like a waste, they were all free! He could afford to splurge them!
Other than the food, there were ten bottles made of pure gold that were around the size of his palms. After smelting these bottles, they could be worth quite a few gold coins. But what was inside them? Lin Jie took a look and realized that they were filled with solidified potions. No, they were potion pills! Pills were another form of potions. Potions were stacked in 20s while pills were stacked in 100s, but their effects were 15% weaker than a potion of the same grade.
The pills were clearly a better choice for leveling up and for storage.
[Munjo Strength Pill]: Increases Strength by 20 points for 20 minutes. It can be stacked up to 10 times!
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. ‘They are pills that increase Stats! Oh my god, there are at least over 60 pills in this bottle. How strong would I be after swallowing 10 of them? There must be other types of pills in those bottles!’
“Human, you dare invade the land of the Overlord, the territory of Munjo Ogres?” Just as Lin Jie was about to store the pills, a large wave of energy hit him, pushing him away!
Soul Tide!
-1,029!
Lin Jie suffered in pain secretly. He was surprised to find that among the four totems in the corner, a huge Ogre Prophet phantom had appeared. He was holding a scepter with a bone necklace hanging around his neck, and his face was filled with anger! Those four totems were protecting the Ogre Prophet’s soul from dissipating. Now that Lin Jie was stealing his items, the monster naturally showed itself.
[Ogre Prophet Gaulon] (Dark Gold Boss)
Level: 60
Health Points: 600,000
Attack: 800-1,000
Defense: 700
Special Feature: Perfect Absorption (Gaulon gains an additional 100% on all effects when consuming potions or food)
Skill: Soul Tide, Soul Plunder, Body Condense.
“This is my territory, I’ll make you pay for this, human… This is my food! Die!” While the Prophet was threatening him, he saw that the dozens of baskets of food were all gone. At that moment, he was consumed by rage to the point where his body was turning translucent. One could tell how angry the Boss was.
Lin Jie took a look at the Boss’ stats and heaved a sigh of relief. ‘What a weak Boss. Who would have thought the hidden Boss in the underground room would be such a weakling…’
In the next second, the Boss unleashed its full strength. He reached out his hand, and all the baskets and gold bottles began to fly up. The Boss then devoured all of the pills in the gold bottles as if they were beans.
With every pill, the Boss’ stats increased by one point! After consuming all of the pills, the Ogre Prophet’s skinny body expanded, and his muscles were startling huge. However, his body was still a phantom!
“He can use the final skill Enraged Mode immediately?” Lin Jie was puzzled but reacted instantly. “Right, the Boss should have been eating the food to boost its stats while battling, and the players should have been able to destroy them. But I’ve already taken away all of them, which caused him to enter Enraged Mode immediately. The food would have been able to help him form his body, while the pills increase his stats.”
“Arhhhhh”
The Boss roared among the totems. Since he did not have a body, he was unable to leave the vicinity of the totems. Otherwise, his soul would disappear. Lin Jie had accidentally stumbled upon the easiest way to kill the Ogre Prophet: to prevent him from regaining a solid body.
After consuming all of the pills, the Boss’ stats greatly increased. His health was at 1,200,000 points, and Attack increased to 1,650-1,950. But, his Defense remained the same since he did not have a real body.
However, the Boss’ combat strength remained powerful…
Bang—
Smoke came out of the Silent Killer’s muzzle as the bullets pierced into the Boss’ soul. Five numbers popped up instantly, and the Boss’ health dropped by 26,000+ from the five hits!
Lin Jie slowly reloaded the gun and continued to fire. How would he not be able to tell that the Boss was unable to leave the totems since it did not have a body? He had really struck gold! Isn’t this Boss a free giveaway?
‘Luckily, I’m a foodie who cannot leave any food alone. If the Boss had taken the food first, it could’ve regained its body. This is the foodie’s victory!’ thought Lin Jie as he slowly depleted the Boss’ health.
