Chapter 384: 384
Lin Jie had figured out the Corporal’s Forward Charge skill, which was just an ordinary Forward Charge with a special effect of “cannot stop before hitting the enemy” . This skill was powerful when attacking ranged jobs like Ice Mages and Hunters, by making them unable to escape . However, it had become a double-edged sword when fighting against Lin Jie .

Lin Jie’s precise positioning made him move like a loach, which was hard to catch . Hence, the Corporal’s infinite Forward Charge skill, which was originally very powerful, had lost its advantage, made him give up the attack opportunities, and let himself become a moving target .

-1,029!
Every time Mohamed charged, Lin Jie would find a chance to hit his abdomen, causing damage . With the bleeding effect of the Holy Light Winged Armor, the Corporal’s HP slowly dropped by 20%, while Lin Jie’s was still full .
Half an hour later, the effect of infinite Forward Charge had barely disappeared .
Due to a mistake, this Dark Gold Overlord NPC’s HP was dropped by 30% under Lin Jie’s attack!
“You pissed me off, damn human . ” The Corporal’s throat was filled with black smoke, and a flame seemed to burn his internal organs . He put his shield on his back and pulled hard, then a three meters long greatsword smashed the floor, dragging out a ferocious crack .
Kaboom—
This greatsword was as red as a soldering iron .
“Roaring Flames Ground Fissure Slash!” With a shout, the barren Hellfire Plains shook as if there was an earthquake . The ground exploded, streams of hot magma fire rushed out from far to near and then crashed down! A Sun Blade Aura attacked Lin Jie’s throat like a long spear .
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted . ‘What a strong skill!’
Before him, the place became a fiery hell . The ground cracked, and magma poured . While the Corporal’s figure was in the center of the boundless fire!
Wild Charge!

The shadow of Lin Jie’s incarnation aimed right at the center like an arrow from the bow! The Corporal’s attack mode was similar to the branched jobs “Elemental Fluctuation Warrior” after the second advancement of an Elemental Sword Artist . Although they did not have excellent skills, their elemental damage was great . The strength of the Sun Swordsmanship lay in the ranged fire attacks . As long as those attacks were avoided, Mohamed’s combat ability would be greatly reduced .
Unexpectedly, during Lin Jie’s Forward Charge, the Corporal’s body stood upright like a pine tree, and he kept spitting out obscure incantations from his mouth . In the magma, faint glimmers of metal burst out .
What was the strongest move of a Dark Gold Boss? It was to summon its followers, of course!
“Sword Marionette!” shouted the Corporal loudly .
Immediately, sword-shaped marionettes with a length of three meters, came out of the magma . It was airtight as they waved, and two of them came right towards Lin Jie!
Those Sword Marionettes were items obtained by the Corporal in the ruins . They did not belong to equipment but were classified as summoning items . There were 13 items in total, whereby each of them was independent from one another and could fly out to attack the enemy .
‘Sword-Saint-Level players usually make Marionettes out of the swords that they don’t often use . They attack with 10,000 swords in unison against the enemy and often cause lots of damage before they start fighting . In my previous life, I have read not less than 1,000 books of unofficial history, but I haven’t heard of the Sword Saint of the Sun . It’s a self-given name at best . His actual ability is at most a Sub-Legendary . ’ After looking at the 13 Sword Marionettes, Lin Jie was not surprised but pleased . He said in his mind, ‘I’m afraid that he values the Sword Marionettes equally as his life . Alright, I should take the Sword Marionettes then . ’
Unfortunately, the Corporal did not know what Lin Jie thought . These 13 Sword Marionettes were the deepest treasure he had found when he had searched in the ruins . Therefore, their importance could be imagined . Over the years, he had sacrificed countless rare materials for them . Although he wondered why they were still fragile, they were still powerful against the enemy . As soon as they were released, Mohamed felt that victory was in his hand . The swords aimed at Lin Jie and attacked him one after another .
“Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!”
-1,029!-983!-1,001!
With only one attack, Lin Jie hit nine swords . In an instant, his movement speed was greatly increased! He was now equipped with the Dark Gold Enrage Greaves, also known as “Mad Dog’s Boots”, which was the strongest pursuit pair of shoes . Once Lin Jie’s attack hit the target, his movement speed would increase rapidly . He aimed at the most vulnerable one of the 13 Sword Marionettes and rushed through!

The Sword Marionettes’ disadvantage was exposed . The Sword Marionettes were created by a Sword-Saint-Level figure by imitating the idea of Necromancers summoning skeleton armies as cannon fodder in battles . Although their attack was high, their HP was very low .
This sword was the one with the least materials the Corporal had sacrificed . Lin Jie immediately seized the opportunity to wipe it out with Army Obliteration and Shield Cut! With the improvement of Supplementary Sword, Broken Blade attacked another two times between the skill releases!
-1,527!-1,628!-1,594!-1,520!
-4,262! (Critical Hit)
Clang—
The sword, under Lin Jie’s swift and violent attack, had been defeated directly!
The Sword Marionette had no life . Thus, once it was fatally hit, it would lose all its strength, get out of its master’s control, and enter recovery state .
“Take it!” Lin Jie put the Sword Marionette into his bag and checked the recovery time: 10 minutes . In other words, the Sword Marionette could be released to fight against enemies after 10 minutes . However, it would belong to Lin Jie by then .
Lin Jie’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of joy . He simply stood on the spot and raised his Broken Blade high .
Thunderstorm!
As Lin Jie’s only group-bombing skill, the power of Thunderstorm was strong . Even the cracked ground was suppressed as the thunder in the sky fell down and exploded on the Sword Marionettes’ bodies!
-2,738!-2,910!
The Corporal’s eyes were wide open . He jumped up, and the greatsword sent out a 10-meters long Blade Aura, which hit towards Lin Jie! At this time, a dark, chaotic hole whirled violently, invalidating all attacks .
MISS!
“Haha, thanks so much . ”
The chaotic hole slowly disappeared, and Lin Jie’s figure was revealed . However, the 13 Sword Marionettes had all been taken away by Lin Jie without exception . If 13 Sword Marionettes were summoned at the same time, they could cause at least 12,000 points of damage! What a terrible attack was this?
This was like going for wool only to come home shorn! Mohamed had wanted to teach Lin Jie a lesson, but how could he expect that Lin Jie would take all his Sword Marionettes away?
“Arhhhhh!”
The Corporal’s angry face was twisted while his veins popped out, turning from green to red as if he was roasted . His whole body burnt with flames, the greatsword was melted into a soft sword, with the sword body dragged on the ground .
—Battle prompt message: Corporal Mohamed has used the skill [Sun Attachment] . Attack, Movement Speed, and Attack Speed increase by 70% . With additional effect Level 11 [Sun Armor], Level 9 [Sun Blade Aura], and Level 9 [Glorious Cremation]!
“Sun Blade Aura!” Mohamed’s voice was distorted, like the sound of a dead tree breaking, which hurt people’s ears . A burning flame-like blade aura struck Lin Jie in the chest like a shell . It was so fast that Lin Jie was caught by surprise!
-2,738!
“F*ck, what high damage!” Lin Jie swallowed a Health Potion and a Fire Resistance Potion, which he had prepared for a long time . Even so, his body still seemed to be burned by the fire . This was the passive effect of Sun Swordsmanship: Burning . 400+ burning damage jumped out on the top of Lin Jie’s head, and his newly filled HP dropped at an extremely fast rate .
Hunter’s Forward Charge!
Lin Jie was also ruthless . Broken Blade, with the power of Ice Spirit Slash, was going to freeze the Corporal! However, when the ice touched the Corporal’s armor, it melted slowly .
[Level 11 Sun Armor]: Additional 1,100 Defense and 50% of Defense Points . It makes you immune to ice attribute control skills and will bounce the same damage to the target when you are attacked .
-1,928!
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted . The explosive skill of a Dark Gold Overlord really could not be ignored . Moreover, that fellow was a famous person, who was much stronger than a wild Dark Gold Overlord! With the Sun Armor, the Corporal’s Defense had reached more than 3,000 . Lin Jie could not break his defense unless using Dragon Armor Removal . But that was his only armor removal skill . With an output time of just a few seconds, it was not enough time to kill him .
“Water Surge!”
A waterspout made the Corporal move two steps backward . Unlike others who would be rolled up by the waterspout, the strength of a Dark Gold Overlord was revealed at this moment . However, Lin Jie also took the chance to retreat immediately . With the Mad Dog’s Boots’ Movement Speed, he may escape .
To his surprise, the Corporal rushed over in the next second! Sun Possession provided an additional 70% Movement Speed . Together with his Epic War Boots, it allowed the Corporal to run fast .
Another Blade Aura came!
“Sea King Scaly Armor!” Lin Jie clenched his teeth and used the five scales, activated Wild Charge, and opened the distance again . Finally, he got rid of the Corporal’s pursuit, and the temperature of the flame lowered . At this time, Lin Jie’s body felt damp .
Yes, damp… With the Corporal’s current temperature, anything would be evaporated even if Lin Jie peed on the spot . Why is it so damp?
“Sea Mage!” Lin Jie’s eyes lit up .
As expected, in the next second, a big hand of seawater was gathered in the sky and aimed at Lin Jie! The Sea Mage’s wild laughter resounded as he was about to use the Sea Condensing Spell to capture Lin Jie!
