—’Do you choose to record this coordinate?’
“Yes!”
The shape of a dimly lit church was branded within a scroll. The quaint hexagram-shaped scroll shone bright like the stars in the night.
The predetermined teleportation scroll cost one bronze coin each. It allowed the player to record a coordinate and teleport to that coordinate as long as one chose to teleport within 200 yards of the fixed coordinate. The channeling time was as long as 40 seconds, and thus it had very low value.
If one wanted to enter again in the future, one could use the predetermined teleportation scroll to teleport from the entrance to this place, bypassing a portion of the monsters.
Lin Jie still stood outside the library. The difference was that the ground was still full of spellcaster followers’ corpses. Within his backpack was the arm guard and belt from Dark Contract Set, which he finished gathering. All of the followers within the library had already been eliminated so he would have to wait for the next respawn to get another set.
After luring out and killing the last follower, Lin Jie stored away his weapons and restored his condition fully before sneaking back into the library.
Although he did not know why the Light Sword Saint had come to this place, one thing was certain; he was part of a plot.
Most maps had their unique missions, some even hiding the worldwide main plot and those missions were often one-off. This was also the reason why guilds were so loyal and glad in exploring new maps, rather than always staying in a place to level up.
“Hah—”
“Die, petty and pitiful worm.”
Mogata’s rough roar was accompanied by the whistling of the Blade Aura. He raised his head only to see the surrounding walls and ceilings full of the dents made from Blade Aura.
The fire of Light was burning, and the grease oil that dripped down slowly crawled, still trying to find and devour the darkness.
Lin Jie secretly spied, the battle was coming to an end. Mogata was in the absolute advantage in the battle with the other enemy due to his legendary hero’s fighting powers.
His hatred towards the darkness was thoroughly exposed. He clearly could end the battle with a one-hit-kill, but he just kept delaying till now, fighting in an oppressing manner.
“Ah ha—”
Boom!
The head of the Boss librarian was slashed off, but its body still stood in place.
Mogata gave a cold sneer. The Holy Light Greatsword flew towards the ceiling top, and with a stab, a coffin fell.
Dust swirled around everywhere.
Mogata licked his fangs and flipped open the coffin in one shot. He then retrieved a radiant armor from within! The armor skeleton created from smithing Time Star Ores, large Silver Sulfur Gemstones, Gold Sky Gemstones and concentrated Mithril looked like luxurious embellishment. A Starry Sky Behemoth’s head was even carved on the chest of the armor. It was the Sub-Legendary Kiara Beast King!
It was actually a complete Sub-Legendary Armor!
Lin Jie was shocked! Who could have thought that a monastery would hide such Sub-Legendary equipment? No, something was wrong!
In his previous life, there had been no news of Sub-Legendary equipment being found. In the beginning, the Dark Monastery had been full of people from different powers, so no matter how well one had tried to hide, some information would have been leaked.
Something must have happened!
A shred of greed flashed in Mogata’s eyes, and he equipped the Kiara Beast King Equipment onto himself. His green face turned as red as a tomato instantly, while blood trickled down from his cheeks and head slowly.
Rumors said that the Kiara Beast King was a wild beast domesticated by a human beast master. It was the guardian beast that protected the southern region of the kingdom. An armor that was based on it would naturally be worn by humans.
Mogata was an Orc!
Rumors said that the Kiara Beast King was a wild beast domesticated by a human beast master. It was the guardian beast that protected the southern region of the kingdom. An armor that was based on it would naturally be worn by humans.
The sight was shocking for Lin Jie to see. That was actually a Sub-Legendary Armor, known as divine equipment. Was this guy going to tear the divine equipment with his bare hands?
“Stop!” The divine equipment was right in front of him, so Lin Jie could not care about anything else and activated his Hunter’s Forward Charge. He immediately rushed beside Mogata and swung his Broken Blade towards Mogata’s head.
As long as he could control Mogata for one second, the Kiara Beast King Armor would automatically unequip and drop.
“Hmph.” Mogata sneered, the powerful strength that the orcs were proud of was fully revealed. He waved his right hand, and a huge gust of wind interrupted Lin Jie’s attack. Then, he subsequently gave a kick…
-1600!
Lin Jie whimpered, and his soul left his body. His body, on the other hand, flew out under the force of that kick and fell heavily on the bookshelf. The bookshelf collapsed instantly and buried Lin Jie’s body.
His soul floated in the air, watching Mogata—Lin Jie’s soul did not appear in the cemetery.
More and more blood was oozing out from Mogata’s head. As the Kiara Beast King Armor absorbed his blood, its strength grew even stronger. Even the broken gemstones began to slowly repair themselves, and the cracks were about to disappear.
At that moment, a terrifying storm was brewing!
Orc talent, Bloody Enrage mode!
Mogata’s blue veins and muscles were inflating at a crazy rate, the cracking sounds of them bursting was endless! With a loud roar, Mogata’s hands expanded quickly and fiercely, causing the Kiara Beast King Armor fragments to be scattered around everywhere. One of the fragments just happened to shoot into the bookshelf.
Bang—
Lin Jie, who was in the soul state had a headache.
Mogata’s orc nature was completely exposed. He gathered all the pieces together and smashed them into powder with a slash. He took out the map, his eyes filled with eagerness and helplessness, he then tore open space and left.
—’Do you choose to use the Light talisman.’
In a ray of Holy Light, Lin Jie opened his eyes and hurriedly drank a mouthful of Health Potion—Who knew if the collapsed bookshelf would crush him to death?
Lin Jie crawled out from the pile of fallen books and flashed his middle finger toward the direction where the Sword Saint left. If it weren’t for him, the Sub-Legendary equipment would become his! But thinking about it logically, how was it possible that the system would put such powerful equipment there?
What he did not know was that in his past life, there had been thousands of people who had tried to block the Sword Saint. Even then, those thousands of people had easily been swept away, and the Kiara Beast King Armor had been torn into powder with Mogata’s bare hands.
As a matter of fact, a Sub-Legendary equipment’s powder was also quite valuable. If added in when forging equipment, it could improve the attributes and quality. Naturally, Mogata knew about this, so he ate all the powder.
Lin Jie looked at the broken piece of armor in his hand and could not help but give a bitter smile.

The Sub-Legendary fragments were out of the ordinary as expected. However, after losing the carving of the Kiara Beast King, most of the equipment attributes were lost. Even if one found all the shards afterward, they would still need to find a Sub-Legendary Minstrel to carve the drawing.
—’Kiara Beast King Armor is about to be bound with you, do you accept?’
Most of the equipment above Sub-Legendary level had binding characteristics. If a player had the complete Sub-Legendary equipment after the player was killed, in the case that this equipment dropped, it would be broken down into shards, and a part of it would be destroyed. If a shard was equipped, then that shard would be destroyed.
The Kiara Beast King Armor was like a fossil bone, firmly locking the chest and abdomen area, exposing the arms, and it looked handsome. What was more amazing was the attributes. At that moment, Lin Jie was completely confident that he wouldn’t lose to even a super MT such as Triumphant Midnight and Inksnow.
Lin Jie walked to the collapsed bookshelf and searched for something within it.
The Dark Monastery Library stored a lot of fallen channeling chapters, unofficial history and so on. Spellcaster players could gain proficiency, experience, and even skill books as rewards by reading those channeling chapters, but it was useless to Lin Jie.
He picked up a quaint book and burned it with fire, only a few sheets of gold-plated paper were left.
This item would only appear the first time someone cleared the dark monastery. A random skill book would be obtained, and the job grade was uncertain.
Lin Jie took a deep breath and opened it.
—’You have received a Skill Book: Blood Soul Multi-Slash.’
It was a Strengthening Skill Book! Lin Jie was delighted.

The skill book disappeared with a white light as it was used, and an extra shiny logo appeared on the skill list. Its shape was a giant axe, it looked very ferocious and bloody.
The church of the Dark Monastery had not yet been explored, and in there lived the Cardinal and High Priest of the monastery. They were level 25 Golden BOSS, not some monsters that Lin Jie could provoke.
Lin Jie took out his returning scroll and left the Dark Monastery.
His communication device started ringing profusely.
There were dozens of Zheng Ziliang’s messages. He had already killed the Summoner Boss and asked what the next leveling-up path was. The rest of the messages were from Qiu Yuan.
“What level are you now?” Lin Jie sent a message to Zheng Ziliang.
“Level 3, 85%, I am now farming the stone monsters.”
“What are you farming that for?”
“Collecting stone powder to make explosives.”
Lin Jie rolled his eyes. ‘This guy, he is really hopeless!’
He passingly checked the Castle Wood’s rankings. Since the simple-level dungeons were not recorded in the leaderboard, the attention of all major guilds was concentrated on the ordinary-level dungeons. The guild in the limelight was the Kingdom of Glory, with the fastest progress of 78%.
The second was Shadow Devil Workshop, followed by Hunter’s Guild and Midnight Triumph. The Ironwall Empire was steadily ranked fifth. The guild’s strength had decreased by a lot after the large layoff.
Since the first kill had not been taken yet, Lin Jie smiled slightly.
