Chapter 1608: Transformation in the Battle (13)

A flash of white light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the Leopard Man Boy found himself once again at the campfire at the Eternal Altar.

The blue campfire was still eerie, like the game that would make Hal feel pain, and he couldn't feel anything but malice. However, the pain of the constant death in the previous battle seemed to return to Howl's body once more, though he could not have been wounded after being reborn at the Altar of Eternity.

It's really annoying. It's just a phantom pain, why is it so real? Arms, arms, legs, lower abdomen, chest. Every place has been cleaved open by Husky with his sword more than once. This feeling of a limb being chopped up is actually very early for a child of the age of a leopard man.

Normally, he shouldn't have been in such a terrible place, experiencing this terrible experience of death. He regretted that he had logged into this stupid virtual world with Husky. It was it, devouring his friends and driving Husky mad in constant combat.

He let out a long sigh. No matter how annoying it was, he still had to finish what he needed to do and save Husky from this game, from his madness.

And this time, he is not fighting alone.

"Chirp~?" a voice sounded from the side, interrupting Hal's thoughts.

"Pochi?" the leopard boy turned his head to see a small white carp, floating in the air.

"Hey, you look exactly like you did in real life. Hal then said, "That's amazing, they can still reproduce your image in this game?"

"Chirp!" the balloon fish wagged its tail angrily.

Although this is not at all a praise for Pochi. The leopard man boy wondered in his heart.

Never mind. He smiled indifferently: "Pochi, since you have logged into the game, what can you do?"

"Chirp?" the fish tilted her head, not understanding Hal's question.

"You can't do anything, just come and have a good time?"

"Chirp!" Pochi nodded. Seems to be answering Hal's question. Just a small fish that flies in the sky, the purpose of Poch's entry into this game is really puzzling. Maybe this little guy is just just out of pure curiosity and wants to come in and have a look. Or maybe it wants to cheer up the depressed leopard-man boy?

The little carp rubbed against Hal's face, but the slightly cold and slippery feeling made Hal's originally impetuous mood slightly better.

"Alas. The leopard man smiled bitterly: "Okay, just meow." Even if it doesn't help at all, at least it will distract you from Husky's meow. Just be careful, if it's really dangerous, just hide obediently and don't get cut by Husky. ＂

Even though it's just a game, the kind-hearted leopard boy doesn't want to see his pet fish get injured and die.

"Chirp!" Pop looked pleasant, and swam in mid-air again.

The leopard man boy smiled bitterly, there was really no way to take this little naughty: "Okay, come and meow with Hal." The monster corpses along the way are a bit scary, don't be scared of meow. ＂

"Chirp~!" the little white carp nodded again. Hal seriously doubted that Poch really understood.

The leopard man boy stretched his face: "Okay...... Anyway, I followed the meow...... ＂

He lit his torch and walked out of the Eternal Altar towards the darkness of the forest.

"Chirp~" The little carp was very smart and well-behaved, and swam directly to the top of Howl's head and walked away with the leopard man. That way, at least it won't get lost...... Right?

Dark, eerie, eerie. The forest is still the same forest as it was, and the further you go, the more corpses are everywhere, which makes people feel even more terrifying. The game's simulation system doesn't yet have a time and weather system, it's always been this night with no fingers in sight, and the Leopard Man Boy has been wandering in the darkness of the night, dying, being reborn at the Eternal Altar, and then continuing to wander like a nightmare that can never wake up.

And the end of this nightmare—or rather its origin—awaited Hal in the deepest part of the forest.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Husky turned his head.

The canine boy's eyes were still glowing red, the inauspicious, full of madness, and the terrifying red light that people couldn't get close to.

"Pochi, get ready for meow. The leopard man didn't say anything, and was already drawing his sword from its sheath. He knew that his little friend would attack in the next second, and the crazy Husky wouldn't give time for Hal to prepare too much!

Boom! Husky's sword responded, and Hal blocked it with his sword. He'd taken it countless times, and every time Husky came up and slashed at the Leopard Man's head, Hal was extremely familiar with this routine!

But, of course, what the leopard man boy can easily block is always just this first move!

Immediately afterward, an elusive change of trick ensued, and it was almost faster than Howl's reflexes. But Hal also had a way to deal with this move—the way he had figured out how to deal with it after several deaths—and after he took the first move, he instantly activated the combat technique [Spiritual Unification], which instantly raised his attention to an astonishing level.

Time seemed to slow down in the whole world, and Hal could clearly see his opponent twisting his sword eighty degrees and slashing diagonally!

Although the sword was fast and fierce, since Hal could see clearly, things would be easy! He also twisted the sword in his hand ninety degrees, and used the blade of the sword to block the blow!

However, Husky had already taken a horizontal step around the side of the leopard man, maintaining the same sword momentum, but he stabbed hard! If this move hit, it could go straight through Howl's lower abdomen!

But the leopard man boy was also killed by a similar sudden change of tricks, so he was on guard. As soon as he blocked Husky's attack, he immediately launched [Power Sprint] and rushed forward at a very high speed! If Husky hadn't stepped to one side, Howl's dash could have forcibly knocked down the canine boy who was about the same size as him, and now that Husky had circled Howl's side, Hal also helped the panther boy get out of danger with this sprint! Husky's sword move didn't stab the panther, and at the same time, Hal had already distanced himself from the canine boy!

But Hal knows his opponent won't stop there. After going crazy, Husky reacted quickly, and was as stubborn as a dragon, and when he missed an attack, he didn't know how to accept it when he saw it, so he immediately chased after him again, and made a jump split at the back of the leopard man boy with all his might!

The sword in Hal's hand was just an ordinary long sword, and in order to facilitate the wielding of his childlike body, he deliberately chose a light and short sword. He knew that the featureless sword in his hand would not be enough to block Husky's all-out jump! All he could do was dodge!

Luckily, in this beta version of the game, there are no restrictions on how you can use your skills, and you can use them as many times a day as you want! So, once again, Hal stomped to the side with his foot and sent a [Power Dash] to his right!

Whoosh! The leopard man boy dodged his opponent's jump split, and the ground where he was originally standing was smashed into a big crack by Husky's whirling slash! Husky didn't even use his combat skill [Arm Strength Explosion], just relying on his own physical strength and movements, he actually produced such a huge destructive power! The leopard man boy was surprised and realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to counterattack, he just gained a firm foothold, and immediately slashed out at Husky's head!

However, this is really the conspiracy of the canine boy, Husky smashed his sword on the ground, it should have taken more time to pull the sword out of the ground, but he didn't plan to pull the sword out of the ground at all, but directly abandoned the long sword, pulled out the dagger on his waist with his other hand, and stabbed the opponent's lower abdomen with the dagger while possessing to avoid the opponent's attack!

The leopard man boy sighed in his heart! It seems that he will be stabbed by Husky again and seriously injured, and then defeated and killed!

Boom, but that's not the case. A flash of white light blocked Husky's dagger.

"Huh?" the canine boy snorted - despite the loss of his mind, he would still snort in the middle of the fight.

It was none other than the little carp who had been following the leopard man boy from blocking the dagger's deadly attack. Balloon Fish Porch just swam by quickly, and with his nimble little tail, he bounced off the flesh and bone-cutting blow!

"Pochi?" Hal asked in surprise as he hurriedly stepped back, "What did you just do?"

"Chirp~!" Xiao Yu swam around happily, as if he was proud of the results of his first appearance. Pochi didn't have any scars on his body, his scales and fins were unexpectedly hard. Or maybe he had enchanted his body in that moment, making his fins extremely hard.

"Yes, this is your specialty?" Hal raised his eyebrows: "What a meow!"

"Chirp!" the balloon fish flapped a few times with its two front fins, while happily spinning around the air a few times.

Then Hal finally understood the purpose of Poch's follow. Indeed, the leopard boy who is currently lacking in skills has no way to fight against the Husky after going berserk, and if he cares casually, he will be defeated by the canine boy by catching the flaw. But with Pochi around, the Balloon Fish can more or less help the Leopard Boy make up for his missed defenses, so that Hal can do more in the fight and hold out a little longer—even though Hal doesn't know anything about Pochi's "performance" and doesn't know how far the little carp can help defend. This kind of thing can only be explored a little bit in actual combat.

"It's coming, Pochi!" Hal then collected his mood again, and rushed forward with his sword raised, "Follow Meow!"

"Chirp!" the little carp rushed over with the leopard man boy.
