Chapter 580
Chapter 580: Soul Formation
“Two Bosses appeared?” Lin Jie questioned immediately .
The North Gate had the weakest defense as the architecture in that region belonged to the wealthy, meaning their security measures were relatively poor . This was not to say that the rich lacked safety awareness, but if one were to intrude on their rooms, they would get destroyed by the various magic facilities instantaneously! However, they would not appear if undisturbed .
Hence, the North Gate had the weakest defenses of all .
As the third wave was made up of two gigantic creatures, the Orediggers and Skeleton Kodos, this exposed the North Gate’s weak defense and insufficient manpower as they gradually succumbed to the enemies’ attacks . However, they could still put up a fight as they had the City of Light’s geographical advantage on their side . Alas, who could have expected that the two Bosses—Venom Snake and Fierce Wolf—would ride their mounts and bolt ahead of the Kodos to join the battle and begin their massacres!?
As they came from the prime lands, although their abilities within The New Age had been restricted by the system rules, resulting in them unable to match up to experts like Lin Jie, it was still a piece of cake for them to slay average players . Hence, this became an extra burden on the already weakly defended North Gate .
The Heavenly Shield sought for aid immediately and did not try to toughen it out as he knew that the Ironwall Empire and its Shield Specialists couldn’t slay the two Bosses .
“Qiu Yuan, head over there with the Lone Wolf Helmet . ” Lin Jie thought for a moment as he glanced at the battlefield . Ahead, there laid a huge Garden Fear Devil’s corpse! That was the Garden Fear Devils Boss, which had been left behind after Shadow Succubus died . That creature was originally Shadow Succubus’ fusion beast that she manipulated . However, the poor Shadow Succubus had been swallowed whole at the last moment by the Inferno Chasm, thus leaving behind this gigantic corpse .
Qiu Yuan nodded and said, “With their pride, they will not resort to taking advantage of the average players, so they must have other motives . You should hide for the time being and observe what they are trying to do . ”
“Alright!” Lin Jie eyed Qiu Yuan in shock as he did not expect her to have put that into consideration . It seemed like solo training was very beneficial to a person’s mental strength .
“I will be on my way . ” Qiu Yuan took over the Lone Wolf Helmet and wrapped herself with the black cape . She borrowed Lin Jie’s sword sheath and carried it on her back as she transformed in a Codename Lone Wolf’s duplicate . She nodded and ventured towards the North Gate .
Then, Lin Jie gulped down a Stealth Potion and concealed himself . Of course, he had to make good use of this opportunity to get some silver ores .
The City of Light, North Gate!
When Qiu Yuan made her way over, the situation on the battlefield was dire . The Heavenly Shield led his team of Shield Specialists to form the Shield Wall Formation as they formed an indestructible defense . The army of Mages behind them chanted their magic as they cast it towards the unyielding sea of monsters . This was the classic battle formation, which was the most efficient as well . However, shadows flashed amongst the crowd as a jade green gaze shot out . A cry was soon heard from the Mage army—Fallen Blood General•Fierce Wolf retreated as though it was an unmanned region immediately after slaying several Mages . He could not be defeated despite how the others concentrated their attacks on him .
Whenever the countless magic attacks were targeted at Fierce Wolf, there would always be a group of Death Knights forming up . They brought terror and petrification wherever they went, and the players were forced to give way . This was Death Knight•Venom Snake’s skill [Soul Knight] . Its aura was extremely useful against the average players that had poor resistance to abnormalities .
The two of them had seamless cooperation as they toyed with The Heavenly Shield and his teammates .
“Are you courting death?” Qiu Yuan, disguised as Codename Lone Wolf, finally arrived . She did not attack, but instead wrapped her arms around herself and walked up coldly . She treated it as if those two insanely powerful Bosses did not exist . She tossed a glance towards them and sneered . “Fierce Wolf? Venom Snake? Do you dare to have a fight with me?”
Qiu Yuan did a great job imitating his voice, coupled with the noise on the battlefield . It was hard to find any differences .
“Venom Snake, Lone Wolf, is here, are we attacking? How about we kill him first?”
“No, we will follow the plan! Since White Cloth has already planned it out, we shall follow it . Otherwise…”
After some discussion, they glared hatefully at ‘Codename Lone Wolf’ before vanishing into thin air . With their departure, the Orediggers and Skeleton Kodo’s attacks were eased significantly .
The City of Light, East Gate .
The East Gate’s atmosphere was drastically different from the North Gate, as the Supreme Tribe and Brotherhood’s members were farming fanatically, with some relieved smiles hanging from their faces . The monsters might be powerful, but the difficulty levels were still within the players’ acceptable range . However, all of a sudden, the monsters grew riotous! The Warriors in the front row were suddenly tossed away by the Skeleton Kodos as the Oredigger blasted a punch into the ground, and a large crater appeared!
“F*ck, what’s going on?”

“The monsters are enraged? Everyone, retreat! Paladins activate Divine Shields to block the attacks while the Warriors get into defense mode!”
“Bear Druids unleash Bear-Transforming to block . ”
Everyone began moving at once as the Druids transformed into giant bears to block the attacks, and Paladins activated their Divine Shield to earn the rest some time . All the Warriors began turning into their defensive stances as well .
Some explanation for the Warrior’s unique mechanism: Warriors had a total of three stances .
Battle Stance: It would increase attacking attributes by 5% and decrease defense attributes by 5% . After every attack, it would receive a fixed Rage value .
Enrage Stance: It would increase attacking attributes by 10% and decrease defense attributes by 10% . The player would receive Rage values during attacks, unleashing of skills, and when damage was being inflicted upon .
Defense Stance: It would decrease all damage suffered by 15%, increase Defense by 15%, and there would be some chances of reducing damage by 10-30% .
Thirty seconds were required to switch between stances .
Warriors would automatically receive a stance during their Job-Change . In order to learn the other stances, they would have to go through a series of complicated missions . Lin Jie did not activate any stances as there was no need for them .
Lin Jie nodded his head in agreement as the players took the initiative and made the best possible decision . This was the difference between the quality of players! Of course, he was referring to their abilities instead of their personalities and morals .
At that moment, a bright ray of light shone through the sky as two figures descended right onto the Garden Fear Devils—they were Fierce Wolf and Venom Snake!

“Start drawing the runes to release the Fear Devils,” said Fierce Wolf and stabbed his large sword into the Fear Devil’s forehead . A bloody hole appeared, and the sword wielded to edges as a mysterious rune began forming . Venom Snake bore a hole in the center, and fresh blood flowed towards it .
This was the [Soul Formation] .
It was a formation that was capable of temporarily reviving a dead target .
If Lin Jie could carve out the Soul Formation, he would be able to summon Star Elves’ Tomb’s Seal Guardian out to fight for him . Of course, the attributes would be slightly weaker than those summoned out by Mages using countless materials .
“Attractive young— Uh, Zi Mo, can you teleport me up?” asked Lin Jie .
“No, I can’t . Your attributes are way higher than mine . I have insufficient mana points . ” Zi Mo shook his head . “Unless you can give me a bottle of unlimited Mana Potion…”
Lin Jie rolled his eyes as he realized that this guy had so many teleportation restrictions! No wonder he hadn’t teleported him over to kill during the Best of the Best tournament—that was the reason!
He was better off relying on himself, so Lin Jie waved his right hand, and moonlight fell upon him as he summoned the Legendary Mount—Crescent Warhorse!
Ssss—
Following a neigh, the magnificent Crescent Warhorse descended with the moonlight! This was the first time this Legendary mount was being revealed in front of the crowd—it attracted countless gazes with its beautiful appearance and resplendent look .
It even surprised Fierce Wolf, who was standing atop the Fear Devil’s corpse . “What the f*ck, what’s that? Such a big commotion?”

“That’s… the Legendary Mount!? Oh my god, even White Cloth doesn’t have a Legendary mount, right? This guy!” Jealousy and hatred filled Venom Snake’s eyes . His title was Death Knight, and what did Knights prioritize? Mounts! Seeing how a Legendary mount was being ridden on by others was really bugging him .
Heyho—
The Crescent Warhorse raised its trotters and bolted towards the Fear Devil at speed three times that of normal horses! The naked eye could barely capture its movement before it was gone .
“Are you done yet?” Venom Snake growled as he eyed the rune .
“I will be done soon!” Fierce Wolf was panicking as well . He did not expect Lin Jie to possess a Legendary mount that could move at such speed! The runes had to work, or else the consequences would be too ghastly to comprehend! He and Venom Snake were the Bosses of two waves of monsters, but White Cloth had manipulated them to appear together . If they were to fail, based on how White Cloth was, they would be better off gone from the team .
Time was passing, but Fierce Wolf felt as though it was passing painfully slow .
“Done!” Fierce Wolf’s eyes shone as the rune was completed . The bloody hole rose into the air, and one could feel the thriving life energy from it .
At that moment, Lin Jie made his way over!
Lin Jie eyed the rune formation at the back and immediately understood what was going on . His razor-sharp glance was revealed from behind his black cloak as he exclaimed, “Scram!”
Venom Snake sneered . “Scram? I wonder who is the one that needs to scram! Lone Wolf, you should feel honored! In order to go against you, we even used the Life Rune that our land’s Rune Master had spent ages to research . Don’t worry and just die here, hand over the Broken Blade! Otherwise, you can surrender as well . Seeing how true and loyal you are to the country, we will go easy on you . ”
“What a joke!” Lin Jie said faintly, ” Star Fall!”
That’s right, while it was charging, the Crescent Warhorse had completed chanting its AOE skill! Starry night descended, and anything with the Soul Formation was targeted!
