498 CARNAGE AND SHADOWS PART.1

When Zhao Nuo clicked the "Yes" option, a line of scarlet small words appeared on the screen:

Inquisition Mission Preparation: Kill Lord Fairmont. Please select your equipment and skills, when the mission starts, you will not be able to change your equipment and skills, good luck.

Seeing the "warm reminder" before the start of the mission, Zhao Nuo did not change the equipment, but directly used the weapons and equipment on his current body, and clicked the "Confirm" button again.

As I predicted before, the game mode developed by the execution team is not as simple as "killing, killing". After all, if it's just a simple killing of monsters, it doesn't take two months to make zuΓ².

-- So, how exactly is this "heretical trial model" going to work?

Follow the directions on the map to the location of the mission objective "Lord Fairmont", and you will be greeted by a tall scarlet castle, and in front of the main entrance of the castle, there are several burly-looking demon guards, all holding large knives made of white bones in their hands.

Immediately after, two empty progress bars appeared at the bottom of the screen, marked 0/100.

The progress bar on it borders in red and is labeled "Kill Value" next to it. The progress bar below is a deep blue, and the label in front of it is "Hidden Value".

"Huh?"

Seeing the new setting of the heresy trial mode, Zhao Nuo clicked the "Tutorial" button next to it, and then saw the introduction of this mode:

"In the Inquisition mode, you can use different styles and accumulate different powers."

"When you enter a battle, or kill an enemy head-on, you'll earn Kill Points, and each Kill Point increases your attack speed. When the Kill Value reaches 100, your character will transform into a 'Demon Slayer'. Increases attack speed by 200% and grants 100% lifesteal per attack for one minute. ”

"When you go stealth. Or when you assassinate an enemy, you will gain stealth points. Each bit of Concealment increases your critical chance. When the Stealth value reaches 100, your character will transform into the 'Lord of Shadows', and each attack will always be critical, and the damage value of the critical hit will be doubled for one minute. ”

……

"I see."

After reading the introduction of these two progress bars, Zhao Nuo nodded thoughtfully.

- In this way, the design of the execution team is undoubtedly to encourage players to use the same mode to carry out the mission: either kill all at once or assassinate the whole thing. in order to maximize efficiency. But......

Pause the game to cut to the table, Zhao Nuo to Sam. Quint sent a message to the past: "Can these two modes appear at the same time?" ”

"Of course not, when one energy is obtained, the other energy is decayed." Sam. Quint was quick to respond: "If players can turn on two Majin modes at the same time, it's obviously too strong, and we don't want to see that happen." ”

Although the other party's reply was conclusive, Zhao Nuo's face still showed a hint of ill-intentioned smile:

"Oh, is that so?"

- Although the execution team's design was good, it seemed to him. There is obviously a bug in this design. If you master a certain skill, you will probably be able to take advantage of the loopholes.

"What, want to get into both modes at the same time? Even you can't. "Sam. Quint was still quick to answer.

"I'll give it a try." After Zhao Nuo finished speaking, he returned to the game.

-- Not deliberately provocative. However, as the lead tester for Hell's Capital, one of his jobs is to find possible bugs in the game.

With the click of the mouse, the black-clothed demon Bellock stood in front of the castle gate, and two blue-skinned burly demons walked forward quickly and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Click!

Belloc did not speak, but answered their question with a pitch-black blade.

After a simple and crude "arc slash", a fleeting dark crescent moon appeared in front of the demon. As the two decapitated corpses fell, the black-clad demon kicked open the main entrance of the castle. Cruel smile:

"Die, miscellaneous."

Operate the pitch-black demon to kill into the gorgeous frame. The castle hall is quite medieval-style. While Zhao Nuo continued to slash the rushing demons, he observed the two metering bars at the bottom of the screen. It quickly became clear that the pattern of adding meters was obtained:

In combat, the kill meter increases by one point per second, and by four points for each enemy killed.

"Hmmm......"

Seeing that the kill value was close to thirty, after killing a three-headed dog that rushed over, Zhao Nuo manipulated Belloc to hide in a nearby hut, temporarily avoiding the enemy's field of vision, and then used the skill "Shadow Hide" that can quickly get out of battle.

The black-clothed demon turned into a dark shadow and disappeared directly into the shadows in the corner of the room, and several terrifying zombies rushed into the room, but found no trace of Bellok, and then immediately retreated.

"Whew." Seeing that Belloc had successfully escaped from the demon's pursuit, Zhao Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

- Fortunately, I was lucky, and it was the low-level zombies that I chased instead of the high-level demons, otherwise it would not have been so easy to get out of the battle.

Seeing that Belloc had successfully entered the stealth state, Zhao Nuo once again focused his gaze on the metering bar at the bottom of the screen, and the red kill value accumulated just now was now decreasing at a rate of one point per second. The blue concealment value, on the other hand, rises at a rate of one point per second.

"Well, that'......"

Staring thoughtfully at the meter for a while, Zhao Nuokong sneaked out of the room with the demon Belloc sneaking out of the room, slowly walking through the shadows of the corridor towards a red demon patrolling with his back to him.

The muscular, spiked scarlet demon was clearly unaware of the approaching death behind him, and was still walking unhurriedly. Soon, the pitch-black demon was already standing behind the demon.

"Click!"

The dark knife stabbed in from behind and pierced through the red demon's chest, blood gushing out like a fountain. The poor red demon was killed by this assassination attack without even saying a last word.

While completing the assassination, Zhao Nuo saw that the meter bar of the concealed value had also increased by four points.

In this way, in the "Inquisition Mode", the rules for increasing or decreasing the kill value and the concealment value are the same.

In this case, the next step is the second test.

――When you open one of the Majin forms, can you accumulate another kind of energy?

In order to prevent the player from activating both Majin forms at the same time, the execution team apparently also designed special attenuation measures.

And now, it's time to test this measure.

Found a no-man's corner and let Belloc hide for a while. It wasn't until the blue hidden value gauge was close to full that Zhao Nuo let the demon come out of the shadows and stood generously in the center of the corridor in the castle hall.

Because of the invasion just now, the demons in the castle were already alert. So when Belloc appeared, these cruel devils were also the first to discover his existence.

"Kill him!"

A group of demons of different forms rushed over with all kinds of killing weapons, and they swore not to give up if they didn't chop the demons in front of them into meat sauce.

At the same time as entering the battle, the concealment value, which was close to full, began to decline, and the kill value, which had already been reduced to zero, finally began to rise again.

In the face of a large number of demons rushing up, Bellock, who was under Zhao Nuo's control, naturally did not retreat, but pulled out his pitch-black long knife and stepped forward, opening his arms and making a "welcome" gesture:

"Die, trash." (To be continued) R655
