Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Forge Your Own Path, Leave Others with No Way Forward
The Lord of the Secret Realm, placed among the professionals, is definitely a rare group.
Even though Lin Ye was reborn with the memories of a lifetime, in fact, he was unaware of many things related to the Lord of the Secret Realm.
Just like now, he was only now finding out for the first time that the creatures inside the Secret Realm could actually follow the Lord of the Secret Realm to leave!
This point indeed touched Lin Ye’s blind spot of knowledge.
[Would you like to accept ’Stratholme residents’?]
Lin Ye saw this prompt again and without much thought, he directly chose to accept.
[You have transferred your followers to your realm ’Ruined Town’, the current number of followers is 100!]
Seeing this prompt, Lin Ye stroked his chin, still somewhat curious about what use these followers have.
But for now, obviously, there are more important things to do.
That is to settle and leave this Secret Realm.
"Settle!"
Lin Ye finally issued the command to leave the Secret Realm.
[Congratulations, in this ’Purification of Stratholme’ Secret Realm challenge, your overall evaluation is: SSS, your level is increased to Level 15!]
[You have acquired the titles ’Holy Light Knight’, ’Disaster Terminator’]
[You have received a special reward ’Purification Technique’]
Lin Ye couldn’t help but open his eyes wide, not expecting to obtain such a skill,
The Purification Technique usually cannot be learned by healers.
Only after changing professions at Level 30 to Holy Light Profession can one possibly learn it.
The effect of this skill is very powerful; when used on professionals, it can directly dispel most states on them and restore a large amount of life value.
When used on monsters, besides dispelling all state effects, it also directly causes a large amount of damage. If the target is summoned creatures, it directly dispels them.
It can be said that as long as the usage scenario is appropriate, this skill’s effect and function are extremely powerful.
The only limitation is that each use of this skill requires consuming one-third of a bottle of Purification Potion.
But for Lin Ye, this limitation simply doesn’t exist.
Lin Ye’s talent ’Healing Dominator’ third attribute is that any healing technique only needs 1 mana value consumption, ignoring all other consumption!
In other words, while others need to use ’Purification Potion’ as casting material for the ’Purification Technique’, Lin Ye only needs 1 mana value.
And although the effect of ’Purification Technique’ is similar to ’Holy Light Feather’, it is vastly different from within.
’Holy Light Feather’ is a sustained spellcasting skill which requires one to stay rooted during casting and cannot deal damage to creatures other than the undead.
’Purification Technique’, on the other hand, is an instant-cast skill with higher mobility and can deal damage to creatures other than professionals.
The usage scenarios for these two skills are different with fundamental differences.
Being able to acquire this skill in advance, Lin Ye is quite satisfied.
As settlement ends, all professionals inside Stratholme were teleported away.
Externally...
[Residents following Lin Ye have left the Secret Realm ’Purification of Stratholme LV15’, the current Secret Realm task content is amended to ’kill at least 100,000 undead calamities’]
When Lin Ye chose to accept the residents of Stratholme, others outside saw this world announcement.
In Shan City Professional Plaza, the chaotic crowd was dumbfounded once again.
"What the... Lin Ye took away the mission NPC from the Secret Realm?"
"Wow... kill 100,000 catastrophe undead? This task is too inhumane, isn’t it?"
"What kind of flashy operation is Lin Ye up to?"
"Emm... I wonder if this task doesn’t differ much, and might even reduce the slaughter of residents before the task opens, isn’t that right?"
Once this statement was made, those excited crowds instantly quieted down.
The ’Purification of Stratholme’ Secret Realm is so unpopular because at the beginning, it requires clearing out the city’s residents, right?
Many professionals were not willing to do this, which is why they didn’t choose this Secret Realm to level up.
And now, Lin Ye took the residents away with his operation, although after the amendment, the difficulty level of the Secret Realm task indeed is somewhat inhuman...
But at least in the future, there will be one more popular choice for leveling up in the Secret Realm!
"So, Lin Ye not only protected all the professionals, but also did not slaughter the residents?" Someone suddenly realized!
Immediately, every professional familiar with Stratholme’s Secret Realm in the entire plaza widened their eyes.
They completely didn’t know how Lin Ye accomplished this...
To actually allow those residents who were infected with the Calamity Plague, meant to become ghouls, to survive until the end and take them all away.
It’s truly incredible.
And at this moment, many teleportation arrays appeared in the Professional Plaza.
Seeing this, the professionals promptly made way, clearing space for those returning from Stratholme.
Although many people had somewhat anticipated it, yet some still couldn’t help but want to see if Lin Ye truly achieved 100% survival.
The returning professionals gradually emerged.
Soon, the glow of the teleportation array completely dissipated, and everyone returned to the real world.
"I’ve counted, ninety-nine people!"
"Missing one, hooray! My parents’ house is safe!"
"Damn it, why so many people came back alive..."
The returning professionals saw the reactions of these people in the plaza and couldn’t help but feel strange.
Why does their return become a sin?
But quickly, they discovered something amiss.
"Where’s Master Lin Ye? Where did he go?"
"Did he sneak away?"
"Boss! Boss!"
They searched everywhere, intending to lift Lin Ye up to celebrate, but couldn’t find Lin Ye’s trace at all.
This left them quite frustrated.
And at this time, the outsiders found out...
That those who returned were ninety-nine professionals, excluding Lin Ye, and Lin Ye himself had disappeared without a trace.
"Oh, this guy is really slippery..." In the crowd, Liang Houyun was a bit frustrated.
"Normally, he’s the Lord of the Secret Realm, if he doesn’t want to show up himself, no one can do anything about him!" The graceful woman, Duan Xiaoxue, said, with her mouth forming a proud smile.
Lin Ye disappeared for ten days before, he must have been hiding inside his private Secret Realm.
Fortunately, she had foresight, pulling Li Fei into her ranks early, making it much easier to contact Lin Ye now.
"Tsk..." Liang Houyun shook his head, but was helpless.
He could only look at his bet, saying: "If I can’t see Lin Ye, won’t this billion fall into my pocket? Ah, why is life so hard..."
Duan Xiaoxue: "..."
Why do I dislike hearing this?
