Chapter 66: Harvey's Unwillingness

Seeing the claws of the alien beast approaching his eyes little by little, Harvey felt a long-lost sense of fear in his heart, and without any hesitation, he immediately activated the active ability of the chain mail on his body!

[Activate Armor]!

In an instant, as if it had a life of its own, the black chain mail melted into a liquid state and wriggled towards Harvey's face, and before the alien beast's claws arrived, it turned into a black iron mask and covered Harvey's face, protecting it tightly!

This silver rarity chainmail was forged by Harvey after completing a C+-level difficulty side quest and paying a full 400 gold coins to ask a high-level blacksmith in Midgar to successfully forge it, and it can be said that it is the most valuable piece of equipment in his body!

He was able to entangle with the alien beast before, thanks to a large part of the considerable defense brought by this chain mail, and the active ability [Activation Armor] attached to this chain mail is very practical, but every time he activates that ability, it will cause a permanent reduction in the upper limit of the durability of the equipment, so it is generally used by him as a hole card to save his life.

Boom!

After the crisp sound of collision, several white scratches immediately appeared on the face armor, although the face armor was not directly torn apart, but it was still sunken, and the luster of the metal on it dimmed a lot in an instant, undoubtedly suffering a very serious loss.

It is conceivable that at this moment, Harvey's face must have also changed with the face armor, and half of his face was sunk in, and the screams that Chu Ge heard were also generated because of this.

However, if there is no protection of the activation armor, Harvey's fate now is not just a mere facial deformation, even with the blessing of data, it is estimated that half of his face will not be saved, and his nose and eyes will only be scraped off by this claw!

In that state, it doesn't matter if your health is reset to zero or not.

Just one mistake due to insufficient information is enough to make the battle situation collapse directly!

No one knows the significance of this battle better than Chu Ge.

After receiving that kind of injury, it is difficult for normal people to recover in a short period of time, and even if they can continue to fight, their strength will drop significantly, so Chu Ge immediately grabbed his heavy sword and slashed at the neck of the alien beast again, hoping to prevent the alien beast from continuing to attack Harvey!

In order to achieve the purpose of supporting Harvey, he also consumed a imprisoned soul with a strength of one, and opened the aura ability of the heart of Nervemore [Demon King Advent Lv1]!

Because the effect of [Demon King Advent] is indiscriminately applied to all units within the area of effect, Chu Ge has not used it before, and it has not been activated until now.

Whether it is Harvey or the Alien Beast, neither of them has more than 1 point of will, and the effect of the first-level aura has been maximized, and the battle spirit and defense have been forcibly reduced by 15%.

After the claw blow just now, the activated armor reverted back to its previous form, and Harvey's face was finally revealed.

What can be seen is that his left cheekbone and eye socket have collapsed into it, and a black bruise has gathered around it, which looks quite miserable!

Even with the protection of the living armor, he had deducted nearly one-third of his health by inflicting critical hits (the critical strike rate of critical attacks had increased significantly), and his eyes were only one vision, and when he was about to use the recovery potion, he received a hint from Noah's mark:

"Hint: The host is affected by the aura ability [??? ], the actual effect is unknown. ”

Because of the effect caused by the legendary equipment, Harvey's priority of rank authority was suppressed, so that he only knew that he was in some kind of abnormal state, and he could not know what happened to him from the battle log, and he thought that the alien beast had activated some kind of special ability.

He quickly spilled a small packet of powder from his pocket into his mouth, since he was promoted to the second order, many of the effects of the recovery potions have been weakened, and some of the potions have even lost their effects directly, and can only be sold to other first-order players.

'It's damning......

Although the sharp pain on his face stimulated his nerves for a while, it was not the first time he had encountered a life-and-death crisis, and if he couldn't calm down, he would definitely not be able to escape the shadow of death!

Thanks to the help of the digital constitution, unless the organ is functionally lacking, the player's combat power is hardly affected by the health value, although Harvey is missing an eye, it is still barely possible to continue to resist the alien beast as before.

When the alien beast launched a second attack on Harvey, Chu Ge's heavy sword finally slashed into its neck, and the expected angry howl sounded in an instant, but Chu Ge's attention drifted to Harvey.

I can still endure this kind of injury and continue to fight back...... Combat effectiveness has not been affected? ’

While players can't tell the identities of other players by Noah, they can tell the difference between players and natives from some iconic details.

Chu Ge had vaguely been suspicious of Harvey before, but there was no reliable evidence to determine the identity of the other party.

Although the fact that the opponent's combat power is not damaged does not absolutely prove anything, it can at least explain a lot of problems.

Very suspicious.

The reason why Chu Ge would take action immediately just now was that he was worried that Harvey's state would drop sharply after his injury and he might be directly killed by the Alien Beast, and now it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

'Second-order mid-stage...... It looks like he hasn't experienced any opportunities, and he should be the one who survived among the early players, but he was just lucky, but at least he didn't have to worry too much about him now. ’

As far as the same level is concerned, whether in terms of combat awareness or combat skills, players who are quick products are generally not as good as the aborigines who have cultivated overnight, but compared to the means of saving their lives, players are at least one level stronger than the aborigines.

But don't worry, it's just now, under the pressure of the alien beast, how long Harvey can hold out is still unknown.

'If we can continue like this, it seems that there will be a chance even if Alyssa doesn't come......

While thinking like this, Chu Ge raised his hand and slashed down with a sword, and then entered the second accumulation stage of the Silver Casting Sword Technique.

The Alien Beast still didn't fight back, and continued to attack Harvey.

Chu Ge's three slashes just now had already caused more than twenty-five points of damage, which was close to one-sixth of the Alien Beast's total health.

'Unfortunately, this development is not very likely, so let's prepare in advance......

If it was kept like this, Chu Ge might really be able to kill the alien beast with the help of Harvey, but that premise was obviously unrealistic.

Although the Alien Beast has been in a state of madness for a while due to the pain of burning and the desire for blood gems, it is not essentially a madman who completely ignores death and pain, and when its injuries are severe enough to reach a certain level, this status quo will inevitably be broken!

What's more, Xavi is also an unstable factor, maybe he can launch a counterattack with a steady pace in the last second, and fall directly to the ground in the next second, if Chu Ge can know the current state of the other party, maybe he can still have a little bottom.

Therefore......

"Hint: The host used a special item [Voodoo Bomb]!"

"Hint: The host is cursed with voodoo and enters an unstable and continuous bleeding state, which cannot be actively ended before the first tipping point of the voodoo bomb!"

"Hint: The host takes 2 points of bleeding damage, the actual damage after various effects are reduced and reduced is 0.56, the current conversion efficiency is 75%, and the voodoo bomb energy accumulation value is 0.42!"

(The damage priority of this bleeding state is 1st order, the damage reduction of the closed body is 50%, Chu Ge's total defense is reduced by 14% for 21 points, and the basic stamina Lv6 is reduced by 8%)

"Hint: The host takes 3 points of bleeding damage, the actual damage after various effects are reduced and reduced is 0.84, the current conversion efficiency is 75%, and the Voodoo Bomb energy accumulation value is 1.05!"

"Hint: ......"

Although some wanted to save this item that could cause great damage, Chu Ge still gently cut a small hole in his neck and put the green bean-sized voodoo bomb on it, constantly supplying it with blood.

In order to ensure that his health is not lowered below the danger line, he has no idea of saving quartz seaweed, and continues to chew slowly, and now his health recovery rate has exceeded 0.65 points per second (quartz seaweed 0.5 + blood lockout 0.15), and his health will not fluctuate much in the first phase of the voodoo bomb.

In order to prolong the energy accumulation time as peacefully as possible, Chu Ge also slowed down the frequency of his attacks, and the target of his attack also shifted from his neck to the shoulder blades of the alien beast.

Little by little, the clock ticked.

'Damn! What the hell is Alyssa doing? Why hasn't she come yet! ’

Although he didn't know Chu Ge's passive slacking nature, the sweat on Harvey's forehead was getting more and more.

The packet of medicinal powder just now did pull back some of his health, but the pressure on his body continued unabated, even though most of the attacks of the alien beast were blocked by him, but the collision again and again had made his arms begin to numb, and he gradually lost consciousness, and even the long sword in his hand was on the verge of destruction under the destruction of the opponent's claws!

"Hint: The target unit is affected by the [Chaos Verdict] ailment, and the agility attribute is reduced by 0.75 (additional bonus calculated), and the effect will be activated again after 12 minutes."

With Harvey's hard support, the third effect of the Chaos Ruling was finally activated, and the deduction of agility attributes was one of the news that Chu Ge was most willing to hear, and after this news notification, the initial critical value of the voodoo bomb finally arrived!

"Hint: Voodoo Bomb energy accumulation has entered the second stage, and the host can end the energy drain at any time, and the bleeding damage will stop at that time!"

"Hint: The host takes 8 points of bleeding damage, the actual damage after various effects are reduced and reduced is 2.24, the current conversion efficiency is 60%, and the energy accumulation value of the voodoo bomb is 31.4!"

"Hint: Host takes 7 Bleed damage......"

Even with the continuous recovery effect brought by quartz seaweed, Chu Ge would still be deducted about 1.5 health per second, although this number did not seem like much at all, but for first-order creatures, most of them would not be able to survive this damage for more than twenty seconds.

It is conceivable that without the reduction brought by [Closed Body], that terrifying number would be unbearable even for an alienated beast.

Nearly thirty seconds after the Voodoo Bomb entered its second phase, Chu Ge immediately used up a secondary recovery herb and restored his health and source energy to full value.

Although there was still some distance from bottoming out his health, he didn't choose the most greedy approach just in case.

Because, Harvey's expression at the moment has almost exposed his situation, and the defensive movements in his hands are also a little inadequate.

As a melee player, Harvey chose the [Strength] route when completing the Advanced Mission, so his [Mystery] and [Spirit] attributes have not changed, and his physical strength is affected by the source energy value. If the source energy is depleted or drops significantly in a short period of time, the player's stamina will not be able to keep up.

Harvey is now in a state where his source energy is close to exhaustion.

Of course, the state of the alien beast at this time was not much better, in addition to rushing to slaughter many minions and constantly chasing Chu Ge, the crazy attack on Harvey also consumed its considerable physical energy, especially Chu Ge was constantly consuming attacks from the side just now, its current madness has gradually disappeared, and the frequency of attacks has also begun to decline.

It was also because of this that Harvey could continue to grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise he would have thrown down the torn clothes around his waist and fled for his life.

Keep it up, there's hope!

"Click!"

When this idea was just born, the long sword in his hand suddenly let out an overwhelmed scream, and was slapped in two by the claws of the alien beast!

Parry failed!

This time, Harvey didn't have time to activate the activation armor, and the blood-stained claws suddenly crossed the long sword and smashed the teeth into his mouth, directly tearing his jaw off!

"Ahhh!!h

Even if you don't see this tragedy, you will be frightened by this terrible wail.

Harvey screamed and fell backwards, and the alien beast was nourished with fresh blood, and pounced on the target to take advantage of the victory!

Although he was hit hard, the instinct to survive was still constantly stimulating Harvey's brain, he waved the broken sword with one hand and fought back, and with the other hand he frantically touched his waist, and tore off the coat and threw it at Chu Ge's side!

However, this did not change his current situation, and the attacks of the alien beasts did not stop.

Why......

At the moment of separation, Harvey's eyes looked at Chu Ge who was standing aside, his eyes were full of questioning and hatred.

After the Alien Beast had been sadistic about Harvey's corpse for a while, the final beep was finally belated:

"Hint: Voodoo Bomb energy accumulation enters the third stage, Voodoo Bomb obtains the additional effect of life drain, the absorption value is 10% of the actual damage, and the damage attribute of Voodoo Bomb is fire attribute magic damage, and the priority is second-order!"

"Warning: This phase will deal high damage to the host every second!"

"Hint: The host takes 15 points of bleeding damage, the actual damage after various effects are reduced and reduced is 4.2, the current conversion efficiency is 45%, and the cumulative energy value of the voodoo bomb is 81.9!"

"Hint: Host takes 14 Bleed damage......"

The time has come!

Chu Ge's eyes lit up, and he quickly took off the voodoo bomb on his neck that was swollen as much as a ping-pong ball, and threw it towards the alien beast lying on Harvey's corpse!
