Chaotic World Zhuge calculated everything, but he never expected this: the opponents they had to deal with weren't just a thousand NPCs whose strength was almost on par with level 30 Tier 3 BOSSes.
They also had to face an even more troublesome enemy than those NPCs: the Tier 5 great BOSS, the Dark Ruler. And Lin Mo, who was almost evenly matched with the Dark Ruler.
Originally, he hadn't taken Lin Mo seriously at all, focusing entirely on how to deal with the NPC army under his command.
But now, the reality was the complete opposite.
"It's only been a few days, how has Rulebound's strength increased this insanely?"
"He's already invincible, damn it! We couldn't hurt him before, and now hitting him once makes us take over 3000 reflected damage! If I hit him twice, I'm dead!"
"What kind of pet does he even have? It can take damage for him, reflect damage, and even heal? Recovering over 3000 HP per second? That's more terrifying than a BOSS's regen! How the hell are we supposed to fight this?"
"We all have pets, so why is mine such trash? Damn it, my Piggy Pig got stomped to death!"
"This is unwinnable! Brothers, think of a way to break out from another gate! Don't make pointless sacrifices!"
Unlike the earlier batch of old, weak, and sick recruits who were in it just for the money, these new Chaotic World members were all high-level players ranked among the top in Blazing Ember City. They valued their lives a lot more.
After all, dying once meant losing a level. And at their level, losing one level could drop their ranking by thousands, even tens of thousands.
A mere 5,000 yuan death compensation simply wasn't worth it for players at their tier.
Unfortunately, from the moment they stepped into Shadow City, they had already fallen into the trap Lin Mo had carefully prepared for them. There was no way out.
"Damn it! There's a level 50 elite NPC captain guarding the north gate exit. There's no way we can break through."
"There's one at the west gate too!"
"I think there are only three captains total. There's no captain at the south gate, it's easier to attack but harder to defend! Brothers, break through from the south gate!"
"The south gate… what the hell! Liuli, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, is there! Don't go! That woman can one-shot even a level 35 knight with a basic attack! She's more terrifying than a level 50 elite boss!"
"Great, we're completely screwed!"
The entire Shadow City had turned into a massive slaughterhouse.
Inside the city, the Chaotic World Guild players were being massacred by the Dark Ruler and the Shadow Legion.
Outside the city, they were being slaughtered by Lin Mo and the NPC army.
No matter which way they went, it was death.
Watching the elite troops he had spent huge amounts of money building get slaughtered, Wang Junjie gritted his teeth in fury.
"Trash! Damn it, a bunch of trash!"
"I spent so much money raising you lot, and this is what I get!"
"Such high levels! Such good gear! And you can't even beat a bunch of NPCs? Useless!"
Just as his words fell—
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
A rain of arrows descended from the sky.
More than a dozen Chaotic World players around Wang Junjie were all instantly killed.
Only Wang Junjie himself remained, barely surviving with a sliver of HP.
He raised his head in shock and looked ahead, only to see that Lin Mo had somehow already entered the city, holding his bow like a reaper, walking toward him.
"You can actually tank one round of my SSS-rank ultimate?"
"Interesting!"
Seeing that Wang Junjie hadn't been instantly killed, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
At the same time, it indirectly proved that the Venom set Wang Junjie was wearing had to be of very high quality.
At this moment, there was no fear in Wang Junjie's eyes.
Only endless hatred toward Lin Mo.
"Rulebound! So what if you kill me again today? At worst, I just lose one level!"
"If you've got the guts, kill me back to level 0 again like last time!"
'Oh?'
"Trying to take advantage of the fact that I don't have a Death Seal scroll?"
Wang Junjie looked arrogant and domineering, completely unconcerned about his current situation.
As long as he could one-up Lin Mo in any way, even a little, he'd seize on it, "That was an A-rank magic scroll I bought for two million. You broke loser, do you even have the ability to get one?"
Lin Mo looked at the smug Wang Junjie and said, "Since you put it that way, then today, I'll have to satisfy you."
As he spoke, Lin Mo immediately sent a message to Dragon Soul Aoshi, ["Got any Death Seal magic scrolls? Sell me one, I need it urgently."]
Lin Mo had already checked his own stored resources, he didn't have one.
But before he started stockpiling resources, he had sold quite a few magic scrolls of various types and grades to Dragon Soul Aoshi, so he figured there was a chance.
Before long, Dragon Soul Aoshi replied, ["Not that one, but I've got something similar. Sent it to you."]
As soon as the message came through, Lin Mo received a mail from Dragon Soul Aoshi and took out a B-rank magic scroll.
Holding the scroll, Lin Mo looked at Wang Junjie and revealed a smile that made Wang Junjie's back turn cold for no reason.
"Damn it!"
"He actually has one?"
Beside him, Zhuge Jie pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Death Seal is an A-rank magic scroll, and A-rank scrolls are purple in color."
"The scroll in Rulebound's hand is blue, clearly B-rank. That's not Death Seal. Brother Jie, don't get fooled by him."
Hearing that, Wang Junjie finally let out a breath of relief.
He laughed smugly again, "So you're just a nobody!"
"I thought you actually had one! Showing off with a B-rank scroll, what the hell are you pretending for?"
Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "How do you know I don't?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo crushed the scroll in his hand.
At the same time, Wang Junjie received a system notification:
["Ding~ Player Rulebound has used B-rank magic scroll: Soul Imprisonment on you. For the next 1 hour, every time you die, you will immediately revive on the spot."]
The moment the system notification ended—
Pfft!
Lin Mo raised his hand and fired an arrow straight through Wang Junjie's chest.
-7814!
After already taking a round of SSS-rank Storm Arrow Rain earlier, Wang Junjie's HP was nearly depleted. That single normal attack from Lin Mo wiped him out completely.
With a thud, Wang Junjie dropped to his knees.
Moments later, Wang Junjie, now reduced from level 30 to level 29, revived on the spot.
He had barely caught his breath, in less than a single second—
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lin Mo unleashed SSS-rank Heaven-Slaying: Seven Star Volley, instantly killing Wang Junjie again.
"Rulebound! F**k your mother!"
[Ding~ You have died, level -1!]
[Ding~ Soul Imprisonment is still in effect, you have revived on the spot!]
"Rulebound! I'll kill you!"
[Ding~ You have died, level -1!]
[Ding~ Soul Imprisonment is still in effect, you have revived on the spot!]
"Rulebound! F**k your whole family."
Just like that, Wang Junjie bounced back and forth between death and revival.
As his level dropped one by one, the equipment on his body also fell off piece by piece.
The surrounding Chaotic World Guild players were all dumbfounded.
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, "This B-rank magic scroll may not be as useful as that A-rank Death Seal, but using it on just one person is perfect."
In less than a minute, Wang Junjie was killed by Lin Mo thirty times in a row.
His level dropped back to 0 once again.
All his equipment was completely dropped.
Lin Mo walked up to Wang Junjie's corpse and kicked it aside.
Then he picked up the full set of equipment that had dropped, and his eyes lit up.
As expected, a full set of level 30 Tier 3 golden-quality Venom gear.
