Additional effect: Seas Owner (Immunity to 99% of Aqua Attacks)

Laney, the Sea Mage! Seems like you are following the Mermaid Princess just for the pearls? Lin Jie placed Broken Blade across his chest, and activated Rebels Fight!

Laney let out a cold laugh. Swinging his trident around, he dissolved the attack by Rebels Fight and walked away unscathed. His trident was like a magic snakewrapping itself around Lin Jies chest, numerous bubbles suddenly exploded, causing great damage!

-1,937!

Human from the alternate realms, if you had left after you received the Oceans Hearts, I would have spared you. Its a pity that you are too greedy for your own good, and your greed has no limits. How dare you covet the Seaheart Pearls, the most precious material of our Merfolk Shrine! Do you know that this Seaheart Pearl Necklace Herya wore is the key to the Merfolk Shrines Treasury? How can I let it fall into your hands? Laney stood haughtily before them, and commented in a cold voice, Your powers are too weak against mine! This clone of mine only contains 1/10,000 of my powers, and you are already finding it so difficult to beat it. I will advise you to drop all other thoughts and be contented with what you have!

Lin Jie pressed onto his chest and did not say anything. The longer the Sea Mage talked, the more time Lin Jie would have to recover his health bar. If not for the fact that Bu Yi had subconsciously performed Regen for him, that single blow from the Sea Mage would have been enough to instakill Lin Jie, who had activated his full skills!

You should consider twice before you blow your trumpet. 1/10,000 of your powers? I bet not even Lord Poseidon would dare to say such things! A Dark Gold Elite would probably use up at least 1/10 of your entire powers! At the same time, you still need to maintain your pretense before Herya. I bet this has been your best effort, eh? Lin Jie saw that his health bar had recovered to almost full, and hence stood up, smiling coldly. If you really have such powers, why not try activating the Wrath of Sea skill now?

You!

Laney was enraged, and his trident aimed towards Lin Jie again! This time round, he obviously made use of a lot of strength. The air before the tridents spears sank in. Not only that, all the Elements within that space were transformed into Water Elements, and they became Water Elemental bubbles. Each of these bubbles was one Sea Bomb in itself. In terms of their powers, it would be even more powerful than Zheng Ziliangs grenades!

Should the tens of Sea Bombs explode on Lin Jie, there wouldnt even be traces of his body left behind!

In any case, Lin Jie had guessed correctlythis clone of Laneys had used up at least 1/10 of his powers. If this clone really wanted to activate Restricted Curses the likes of the Wrath of Sea, it would need to absorb more energy from the real self. In that case, the Mermaid Princess would definitely be able to sense Laneys peculiarities and ask him to give an explanation.

Although Herya was now all caught up in love, she still maintained her basic wits. Once she discovered something amiss, she would definitely come back and rescue the both of them, being the human-friendly mermaid she was. As such, the only type of attacks Laneys clone could use on Lin Jie now would be very simple: condensing up tridents!

Laneys Stats were extremely high, and his Mana Attacks were formidable. Condensing up tridents would be his clones best attack strategy because this was a Mana Attack, which would not cause many elemental fluctuations. To players who mainly possessed physical defense means, this would be like a nail in their coffins!

Each of these Water Elemental Bubbles was formed by the sub-skill of the [Sea Condensing Spell]. The Sea Condensing Spell was a skill which was stronger than Warrior Mentors [Storm Swordsmanship] by multiple times, and a skill which truly befitted someone the ranks of a Gods Servant. Going by its name, this skill meant condensing the sea to attack its opponent! Bubbles condensed by the sea with this skills could cause its target 300% damage, and when the owners Sea Condensing Spell reached higher levels, it would have a hidden effect: damage to your opponents Attacks upper limit!

In other words, one of these bubbles would be able to cause 4,000+ ever-lasting damage!

If not for the fact that Lin Jie owned the Enchanted Scaly Armor, the Kiara Beast King Armor, and had Bu Yi helping him to Regen he would be a dead corpse through and through now!

Die, now!

After condensing tens of bubbles, the Sea Mage launched his blow confidently! Lin Jie would be crushed to crumbs, even if he had more than 10,000 health points!

The trident slashed down upon Lin Jie too!

Whoosh!

Yet Lin Jie vanished right before the attacks descended on him.

Hahaha, Sire Sea Mage, I wonder how many of such attacks can you launch on me? One, or two more? A voice ranged teasingly from besides Bu Yi, as Lin Jie walked out from behind her. The Oceans Heart necklace which was before his chest shimmered brightly.

Thats right, he had used the Oceans Hearts Necklaces directional teleportation skill!

Usually, the further the distances between the necklaces owners, the time needed to chant the teleportation spell would be longer. However, Lin Jie and Bu Yi were just a few steps apart, and hence it was almost as if he had instantly teleported over to Bu Yis side.

Bu Yi, hide somewhere safe and dont let him discover you, muttered Lin Jie in a low voice.

But your health bar

He cant get me, I have you around here.

Bu Yi pondered for a while and decided that making use of the Oceans Hearts Necklaces was indeed the best solution now. After casting more Defense Shields upon Lin Jie, she immediately went off to hide.

Lin Jie stood far apart from Laneys clone and proudly launched several Blade Auras at him. Each of those strikes could cause only 300+ damagethis was because Laneys Sea Condensed Shield was like a bunch of thick ropes, which wrapped around his body at all times, giving him 500 Defense points. It would not be easy for Lin Jie to get past such defenses.

Laney was furious. All the tens of condensed bubbles from his previous attacks had not hit home, and his Mana bar was depleted to only around half now. He tried to summon up another powerful attack, but could only condense one single bubble now. Yet Lin Jie did not seem to dodge this attackhe actually had the audacity to meet it face-on! Broken Blade slashed down upon the bubblehe was planning to take the attack on directly!

Shield Cut!

-1,029!

Army Obliteration!

-304!

-291!

-647!

-602!

-300!

With Lin Jies attack, a warm feeling spread from his palms. This was the Life-Steal effect of the Bloody Demonic Ring!

Boom

The moment the Water Elemental Bubble exploded, the Holy Light Winged Armor appeared behind Lin Jie. The wings, which had been enhanced by 1/10, flapped once, and Lin Jies speed rose. In the next second, he had placed about 10+ meters between himself and the spot he was standing on previously. The explosion could not hurt him at all!

Laney was now faced with a dilemma!

First of all, there was no way for him to beat Lin Jie if he launched simple attacks at him one by one! Lin Jie had the Life-Steal effect and the Holy Light Winged Armor. Coupled with the fact the many passersby were Priests and Paladins from Brotherhood, who would Regen for him voluntarily since they saw him in a hard battle, this attack strategy was useless!

Second, there was no way for Laney to launch an outburst of skills on Lin Jie! Laneys clone did not have enough Mana, and the Oceans Heart Necklace had allowed Lin Jie to have the ability for instant teleportation. As soon as Laneys clone finished up his Mana bar, he would even have problems trying to survive, much less to say beat Lin Jie!

Yet Lin Jie was still attacking him confidently at his own pace, and at the same time, mocking him with sarcastic words.

Such was the advantage of battling monsters with high Wisdom.

For creatures with lower Wisdom, like Giant Demons, or the Leader Auron they would flee as long as they found themselves incapable of taking on their opponents! In fact, this clone of Laney also had such settings. However, Lin Jies mockery had made Laney stay onhow could a talent the likes of the Sea Mage be able to stomach such sarcasm?

Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!

Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner!

Human!

Laney couldnt stand Lin Jie anymore. Throwing away the trident, he activated the Flash skill!

He appeared right in front of Lin Jie, and hugged onto Lin Jies body! The Sea Mages clone was like fizzling hot waterit vibrated continuously, and enraged vibes spread outit was going to explode itself! It had finally decided that it could no longer stand Lin Jies taunts and thus decided to go for an internecine outcome!

Condensing the Sea into a Jail, Oceans Lock!

The salty water vapor condensed into a prison and wrapped tightly around Lin Jies body. The Oceans lock also had the effect of locking a person in place for 10 seconds, rendering him or her immobile!

Laneys clone laughed heartily. Die now, darned human!

Lin Jie wrestled around and bellowed, Are you crazy? You are the Sea Mage and the Mermaid Princess fiance! And you are now exploding your clone to get rid of me, a human being from the alternate realms who will never die? Youre going bonkers! Release me, f*ck you!

Hahaha, are you scared now? Its too late! Explode!

Laney laughed maniacally, and vibes of irrevocable destruction were emitted. After a loud boom, his clone exploded!

Hehe, idiot! I was really scared you would not resort to this method! After leveling up in seclusion for 500 years, your brain has indeed gone bonkers. Since you want to explode your clone so much, then I will make use of your powers to help me enhance Broken Blade! Broken Blade, Seaheart Pearl, come out now! Against the Wind! Lin Jies lips curved up, revealing a devilish smile. The Holy Light Winged Armor spread out its wings, and Lin Jies body was blown out immediately, leaving Broken Blade and the Seaheart Pearl behind!

The Seaheart Pearls were the Mermaid Princess personal protection devices. Each pearl would be able to absorb 50,000 points of Aqua Attacks, and 16 Seaheart Pearls formed a necklace. The completed necklace would then have 10 times the effects of one pearl, and allowed its wearer to be immune to all types of Aqua Elemental Magic! This was why the Mermaid Princess was protected from all sorts of dangers even though she roamed the ocean by herself freely!

Meanwhile, Seaheart Pearls were great tonics for Broken Blade!

Clang

The clanging sounds of metals were like a heroic anthem! After the powers caused by the explosion were absorbed by the Seaheart Pearl, Broken Blade engulfed the pearl in one go! Initially, Lin Jie would require Blues Master, the Earth Sword Saint, to help merge the Seaheart Pearls into Broken Blade. Only this person could achieve itthis was because the Seaheart Pearls were too precious materials to be used for such purposes. Ordinary Blacksmiths might not even have heard of such items, let alone use it to enhance Broken Blade.

Yet at this moment

After the Seaheart Pearl absorbed the explosion forces of the Sea Mages clone, it was about to combust too. This helped to save the efforts of having to decompose it by Smithing again, and Broken Blade was thus able to absorb it directly!

From another point of view, it made sense why Laney was coveting the Seaheart Pearl Necklace as much. Just lookthe explosion strength of the Sea Mages clone was unbelievably strong, and yet one Seaheart Pearl was able to withstand it! If all 16 Pearls were present, no doubt that even if Laneys real self exploded, the target would still be able to get away unharmed!

Whoosh

Broken Blade flew back into Lin Jies hands and vibrated excitedly! Its surface was now rid of all rusty stains, and within the runes carved on its body, one could now see vague images of the ocean, land, and sky! They looked marvelous! Meanwhile, its edges had become razor-sharpa strand hair would be cut into two if it landed on its edges!

The Seaheart Pearl was indeed no ordinary item! It will definitely be easier using you to dig out stuff in the future! joked Lin Jie. All at once, it was as if a bucket of cold water was splashed onto Broken Blade, and it stopped vibrating boastfully.

Lin Jie was greatly pleased. Now that Broken Blade had absorbed the powers of the Seaheart Pearl and the explosion forces of the Sea Mages clone, he wondered how much had Broken Blade increased in its quality.

Surprisingly, Broken Blade started vibrating again, and it squirmed into Lin Jies bag in a flash! Lin Jie was shockedHeritage equipment couldnt be kept into backpacks, could they? Then what was happening now?

Not long after, Broken Blade squirmed out again. However, there were two items hovering on its body: the Thunderbolt Sword and the Dark Gold Wand fragment Lin Jie had gotten from killing Scout Radner!

I say, are you thinking of engulfing them too? asked Lin Jie, rather dazed by Broken Blades actions. You are not upgraded yet, you know! Why be in a hurry to engulf these items?

Broken Blade did have some wisdomthis was apparent from how it was vibrating excitedly when it saw the Seaheart Pearls.

Yet it now hovered in mid-air, as if pondering about Lin Jies question. After a while, it answered Lin Jies queries with its actions directly.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two items, which were held close to Broken Blades body, faded away slowly as if being melted away by fiery bubbles.
