52: Damn the daily life, kill Onmyoji
At this moment, the voices of the crowd resonated in his mind once again.
Big Head Jun suddenly recalled how he had previously looked down on Lin Ling.
His old face flushed red, as if a heavy slap had landed on it.
Big Head Jun was about to try and break free from the tentacles' restraints when he realized he was paralyzed.
Looking at himself and then at Lin Ling, a growing sense of unease filled his heart.
He had been defeated, so how was Lin Ling still perfectly fine?
Didn't that mean Lin Ling was even stronger than him?
Had his thirty-plus years been lived in vain?
Originally, when Big Head Jun heard that Xiao had awakened an SSS-rank Professional, he was quite displeased.
Although he could be said to be utterly wicked, he was extremely loyal.
He respected no one except his boss, Big Head Jun.
Big Head Jun was the Rookie King; no one could steal his boss's thunder.
When he saw the diamond armor on Lin Ling, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
“It's just an equipment with high poison resistance, what's there to brag about? If you have the guts, go kill that Onmyoji!”
“Hmph, I don't think he has the ability; he's just grandstanding.”
“My boss isn't here, otherwise, these Japanese would be dealt with in minutes!”
Big Head Jun's voice suddenly rang out, immediately drawing gazes filled with killing intent.
You're on the verge of death yourself, and instead of hoping Lin Ling wins, you're making sarcastic remarks?
At this moment, Kato Shoji saw that Lin Ling was unaffected by the paralysis of the poisonous mist, and a look of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.
However, his eyes were quickly filled with anger.
“Lin Ling, since you are not afraid of the poisonous mist, perhaps it is the arrangement of the Sun God. Then I will give you a chance to live.”
“As long as you renounce your Dragon Nest nationality and join my Great Sakura Empire, not only can I spare your life, but I will also guarantee you the best resources.”
Kato Shoji's voice slowly sounded, his eyes full of hope, his gaze fixed on Lin Ling's narrow eyes.
Lin Ling's lips curved slightly.
When facing the Japanese devils, it was either kill or be killed; surrender was never an option.
Some hatreds would not be diluted by time.
When he was on Earth, there was a saying Lin Ling liked very much.
Strength unknown, becomes stronger when facing Japan!
Lin Ling spoke, “Go to the Great Sakura Empire?”
Kato Shoji nodded vigorously, his eyes full of hope.
Lin Ling's lips curved up 45 degrees, revealing a hint of cunning, “I will go if I have the chance in the future. When the Forbidden Spell fireworks bloom on Mount Fuji, your compatriots will surely thank you for inviting me.”
“Baka! Kill him for me!”
As Kato Shoji roared, the green-haired Ghost King immediately raised a huge tentacle and lashed out at Lin Ling.
“Oh no! This Onmyoji's damage is as high as fifty thousand! Lin Ling, dodge quickly!”
Zhang Meng shouted loudly, but Lin Ling, instead of retreating, advanced, flashing in front of the mountain-like Onmyoji.
Bang...
-15293
Bang...
-15390
Bang...
-15892
Bang...
The Wolf Tooth Hammer swung incessantly, each strike on the Onmyoji bringing forth a cloud of blood mist.
Flesh flew, and snowflakes danced.
Roar...
The Onmyoji let out a roar.
More than a dozen tentacles lashed out at Lin Ling simultaneously.
Boom boom boom boom...
The earth trembled, but no blood reduction notifications appeared on Lin Ling.
“Onmyoji? Is it that weak?”
Lin Ling's mocking voice rang out again, his Wolf Tooth Hammer becoming even more ferocious.
The Onmyoji's health bar was rapidly decreasing.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a wild God of War, fearlessly outputting damage.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.
Is that even a human thing to say?
Even the Three-turn Dragon Nest elite was being crushed, and you say this Four-turn Onmyoji is weak?
“So strong!”
“No wonder Lin Ling has the title of God Lin.”
“How do I feel like he might not be Ye Xiu? Ye Xiu isn't that strong, right?”
“Gulp... Gulu Gulu...”
“This is too fierce; the Onmyoji is really going to be pounded into oblivion by him.”
All the Professionals spoke up one after another.
“How can he be so strong? How do I feel like even the boss isn't this fierce?” Big Head Jun's face was filled with horror, and his blind admiration for his boss was gradually collapsing.
“This kid is good. If we go back, I must recommend him to join the Dragon Nest.” Zhang Meng said, his eyes full of appreciation.
Yan Yan, at this moment, looking at Lin Ling constantly swinging the Wolf Tooth Hammer, couldn't help but ask, “Captain, do you think this armor might not be equipment? This armor doesn't look like what low-level equipment should be like at all.”
Zhang Meng did not answer; a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a conjecture that he himself found unlikely suddenly appeared in his mind.
His eyes suddenly shone brightly.
“You mean... this might be a high-level defensive skill??” Zhang Meng asked thoughtfully.
Hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Big Head Jun's eyes.
“Captain Zhang, how is that possible? How could she, a newcomer, have high-level skills? In my opinion, she just triggered a hidden quest and obtained heaven-defying equipment. Without these two pieces of equipment, she's nothing!
Her talent is so useless; I'm afraid she hasn't even reached level five yet. Look, she can't even cast a Fireball Technique, let alone a high-level skill.”
Big Head Jun said coldly, the despondency that had appeared in his eyes long gone.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his boss was back in action.
However, Kato Shoji, who was in the arena, had long lost his previous ambition.
Lin Ling was immune to poison and damage but had explosive attack power. If the Onmyoji was truly crushed, what awaited him would definitely not be a good outcome.
As an Onmyoji, he himself had no attack skills.
At this moment, Kato Shoji was completely panicked.
“No, I must retreat first. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to.”
He thought about it, and the Onmyoji suddenly released all the Professionals, instantly taking Kato Shoji and running into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Big Head Jun was immediately overjoyed.
“Kid, relying solely on equipment is ultimately inferior. If you can cast a spell...”
Big Head Jun originally wanted to mock Lin Ling for not knowing magic, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a staff glowing with white light appear in Lin Ling's hand.
The staff pointed directly at the fleeing Onmyoji.
“Blazing Fireball!”
With Lin Ling's low roar.
A fireball, like a scorching sun, pursued the Onmyoji with a whistling sound.
Boom...
Blazing Fireball, increases magic damage by 300% and deals AOE damage to within thirty meters.
-28138
-22800
Two bright red numbers floated up from above the green-hatted Ghost King and Kato Shoji's heads respectively.
The Onmyoji, with residual health, and Kato Shoji, with full health, had their health bars instantly cleared.
[You have successfully killed the Onmyoji: Green-headed Ghost King]
[You have successfully killed the Professional: Kato Shoji, you can loot his corpse!]
“Big Head Jun, is this what you meant by not knowing magic?”
“Is this what you meant by not even level 5?”
“Is this what you meant by the trash among mages?”
Zhang Meng's face twitched, and he turned to look at Big Head Jun, whose face was also twitching uncontrollably.
His three soul-shaking questions woke everyone from their shock.
“Was that Fireball Technique that Lin Ling used just now?”
“What Fireball Technique? That's the rare fire-element skill Blazing Fireball! A high-burst magic skill rarely found in level 20 skill books!”
“Blazing Fireball, no wonder it's so strong... How many levels did you say it was?”
“A level 20 area-of-effect skill!”
“Holy crap!”
“Are you kidding me?
I haven't slept since I awakened my talent. These past two days, I've either been grinding monsters or on my way to grind monsters.
I'm exhausted like a dog, but only level 13. Are you telling me he's level 20?”
“That's not fair! I'm only level 10, okay?”
“Didn't you see the damage numbers floating above the Onmyoji's head just now?”
“Nearly 30,000 damage from one fireball, are you serious?”
“I heard Blazing Fireball has a 300% damage bonus. Are you saying Lin Ling's own magic damage is already over 7000?”
Listening to their words, Big Head Jun's face alternated between green and red, his heart filled with dread, but he refused to admit defeat.
“Hmph! What's a Blazing Fireball? If you have the guts, cast a Forbidden Spell, and I'll lick your shoe soles.”
