Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Are You Locking Up a Shared Bike or Something?!
Pure numerical values are meaningless in the face of mechanics.
A million true damage could easily slaughter most novice Professionals.
However, it cannot kill Lin Ye, who shares damage with numerous Mechanical Puppets.
Taking a hit from Death Finger, Lin Ye lost more than a dozen mechanical creatures.
The Witch Demon looked at Lin Ye, who took a hit from Death Finger and still lively launched an attack toward them, causing them to doubt their existence.
Is this guy really a person?
Is he the boss, or am I the boss?
A full million damage couldn’t kill him?
However, after using Death Finger, the Witch Demon seemed to lose the ability to cast spells.
Almost turned into a living target, mercilessly bombarded by Lin Ye’s Punishment Technique!
Because he even didn’t know what methods he could use to kill the human in front of him...
Lin Ye held a magic staff in each hand, astonishingly powerful!
"What a pity, the tenfold damage from the Ring of Truth requires a ten-hour cooldown." Lin Ye couldn’t help but complain to himself.
If he could use tenfold damage again, the speed of killing the Witch Demon would significantly increase.
But that’s the difference between one-hit kills and quick kills.
After all, this type of boss, Witch Demon, is notoriously called a glass cannon.
They often possess extreme offensive power, but compared to other bosses, they are very fragile.
Under Lin Ye’s relentless attacks, the Witch Demon finally fell completely; the ghostly green flame symbolizing death’s power in its skull was completely extinguished.
[Congratulations, you have successfully killed the Witch Demon and completely purified the ’Ruined Town.’ Once settled, this Secret Realm will be directly converted to your personal dungeon!]
"Ah this..."
Upon seeing the notification, Lin Ye couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
In his previous life, he never achieved owning a personal dungeon, yet in this life, before even reaching level 10, he already held the title of ’Lord of the Secret Realm.’
But this business seems to have escalated...
To know, the Ruined Town is an Innate Secret Realm!
The so-called Innate Secret Realm is a naturally occurring realm, almost anyone can enter as long as their level is suitable, making it the most cost-effective choice for Professionals who can’t afford Acquired Secret Realms.
But no one has ever heard of someone converting an Innate Secret Realm into a personal dungeon.
But Lin Ye doesn’t care.
Who can argue if you can lock a secret realm through sheer power?
Feel discontent?
Dissatisfaction only arises because it’s unattainable; if everyone had this ability, there wouldn’t be such a thing as Innate Secret Realms in this world!
The most crucial point is, as the owner of Ruined Town, Lin Ye can ignore level restrictions and freely enter Ruined Town!
This means he can enter Ruined Town infinitely to farm attributes!
Lin Ye looked at the drops from the Witch Demon; a pillar of orange lightstood out prominently.
"Not bad luck, an Orange Armor dropped."
Lin Ye went over and picked it up to inspect.
...
Name: Witch Demon’s Forehead Bone (Refinable, Quality Enhancement Progress: 0/10)
Type: Protective Talisman (Orange)
Equipment Requirement: None (Bound)
Attribute 1: Restore 1 Mana per second
Attribute 2: Undead creatures will not actively attack you
Attribute 3: Increase Spell Strength by 1 point
Attribute 4: Acquire the skill ’Torture Finger,’ guaranteed to hit the target and deals ’500* current level * Spell Strength’ true damage, consuming 30% of Mana
Description: Witch Demon’s Forehead Bone, your trophy, a symbol of glory!
...
"An excellent item!"
Seeing the attributes of this Protective Talisman, Lin Ye couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
This is simply a magic system masterpiece!
Not only with Mana recovery per second but also with Spell Strength, it even has an incredibly high damage skill!
Torture Finger, this skill is quite famous.
It’s a powerful skill learnable by Necromancer Professionals.
Considered the Professional’s version of ’Death Finger,’ the only difference is this skill has no damage cap!
However, the Mana consumption is quite extravagant...
This skill consumes based on a percentage, costing directly 30% of your Mana, the later stages make consumption terrifying.
So the cost-effectiveness depends on balancing.
But for Lin Ye, it’s worth it.
After all, in general, he can never exhaust his Mana.
After collecting this Protective Talisman, Lin Ye immediately settled and exited the Secret Realm!
Thinking that after settlement, this Secret Realm could become his personal dungeon, Lin Ye couldn’t help but anticipate.
...
[World Announcement: Professional ’Lin Ye’ has become the Lord of the Level 8 Secret Realm ’Ruined Town!’]
[Note: The current Secret Realm is in a locked state; any Professional inside will be immediately forcibly settled and teleported out!]
At this moment, a global announcement appeared in front of all Professionals!
This means that as long as you have awakened your Talent and can access the Professional panel, you’ll see this information.
For a moment, Professionals from around the world, especially novice ones, were shocked and asking—who the hell is this?
"What the heck? Who is this? Which nook did this ruthless guy crawl out of?"
"Wow, this is hardcore, I was planning to play around in Ruined Town..."
"Isn’t he going to become the enemy of Healers? This realm is where many Healer teams build confidence!"
"He isn’t afraid of not finding a Healer to team up with?"
"No way... this guy is a Healer?"
"Quick, investigate Lin Ye, I want to see all his information laid in front of me immediately!"
For a time, Professionals worldwide hotly discussed this unfamiliar name.
Meanwhile in Shan City, a strange silence lingered.
In the Professional Plaza, those who saw the announcement had their mouths wide open.
But after a brief moment of silence, the whole Shan City Professional Plaza exploded!
"Oh my, Shan City has produced a dragon!"
"Holy moly... Am I seeing right? This is a world-class announcement!"
"Seems like, even the SSS-class a few years ago didn’t make such a fuss?"
And in a corner of the plaza, Ke Jue’s team was forcibly settled and ejected from the Secret Realm looking utterly bewildered.
Seeing the excited crowd around them, they were all exchanging glances.
"Did you all see that announcement?" asked one team member.
"Saw it..." another team member nodded woodenly.
"Damn! How is this possible! We were on the verge of breaking the historical record!" Paladin Qin Yi said angrily clenching his fists.
As for Ke Jue, he was staring blankly at the announcement, questioning his life.
Talking about historical records...
That Secret Realm already belonged to someone else.
