Chapter 13: The Appearance of Lord-level Monsters
Renault didn't expect to clean up the mid-level green zombie in just a few moves, and the whole person stared blankly at the green crystal attached to the ink-colored liquid-green zombie essence. It wasn't until the system automatically assigned the green zombie's soul power to his data that he believed that what was happening in front of him was not unreal.
He carefully picked up the green zombie essence in case the inky liquid stuck to it was still poisonous, although Renault knew that the plague virus would dissipate with the death of the green zombie, so it was better to be careful without supplies.
The first time I saw the monster essence as bright and beautiful as green crystal, from the annotation given by the system, Renault knew its unique commonality: the monster essence contains the liliang and magic power of the monster before its death, and it is the essence of the monster's life, and it will only be exploded in a very small chance. Its function is to enchant equipment directly with special holes, and each hole can only have one essence attached. It is a very precious and rare item.
The effect of the Green Zombie Essence is 20% chance to infect opponents of the same level with the Plague Virus, and the infected person will continue to lose a small amount of HP for a certain period of time, and reduce the liliang attribute by 50.
It seems to have a good effect, but the plague virus has no effect on non-biological monsters and undead undead. Moreover, the Green Zombie Essence can only be attached to weapons, while Renault only has a hole in the dagger of the Divine Attribute.
Reynolds wondered if a sacred weapon with an undead essence would be less effective in restraining the undead. Now, the dagger in his hand is Renault's best hope of survival.
As he was about to leave, Renault inadvertently glanced at the inky pus, which had evaporated over time, leaving behind a small piece of inky flesh in addition to a rusty boning knife.
The Boning Knife is a junk weapon, and its ultra-low damage is not as high as that of a two-handed sword, and the only highlight is that when it hits the opponent, it has a small chance of attaching a plague virus. However, this ability will not work on undead monsters.
As for the piece of meat, it was as coloured as pus, almost making it difficult to see. And the annotation made Renault even more suspicious: the meat of the undead, edible sex items, make the user's own attributes turn undead, have a high chance of poisoning and reduce a certain amount of HP, which is related to the level of the eater.
What kind of ingredient is this? Turning into an undead system, players who don't open their faces will not only reduce their action speed by 50%, but also their thinking ability will be affected. Only fools will be bored enough to eat junk ingredients.
Although the meat of the undead exudes a faint aroma of xenomorphs, it may be a good weird dish for players with a special taste. But Renault felt sick at the thought of the stench of the green zombies.
There is also the HP reduction attribute of "Meat of the Dead", is it for the player to euthanize? Renault was so angry that he couldn't even swear words.
In normal times, Renault did not hesitate to throw away this "filthy" piece of meat prop. But now, Renault, who has lost his logistical supplies, has no resources to waste, and it doesn't take up much inventory space anyway.
Putting away the most useless ingredients, Renaud put on his two-handed sword again and walked towards the unknown darkness with a torch. What kind of creature will he be greeted by? No one knows, not even the creator of the Creation Domain, Dr. Oberstein, and the omnipotent "Creation God".
The metallic two-handed greatsword flowed with a faint magical light, slashing diagonally into the skeletal soldier's seemingly slender neck bone from top to bottom. At the same time, the white bone blade deftly bypassed the thick armor and stabbed into the elbow that was exposed outside the armor with speed and accuracy, splashing a small splash of blood as the air was neutral.
The hands that clenched the hilt of the sword hung limply, and the arms that had been full of liliang were stained a conspicuous red by the flowing blood. Renault risked his arm injury and successfully cut off the hideous head of the mighty level 40 skeletal warrior, ending this difficult battle.
The Skeleton Soldier was by far the strongest undead monster Renault had ever encountered, and the pale cyan bones seemed to have a layer of wax on them, shining with a metallic sheen in the bright light of the four walls. The defense power is not comparable to the previous skeletons, zombies, and wraiths, and the heavy and sharp two-handed sword can only leave a white scratch on it. It even makes people wonder if the skeleton is made of high-density metal.
After a few short encounters, Renault discovered the weakness of the skeleton soldier - the neck gap composed of a small bone neck is the only breakthrough point, of course, if you rely on the dagger of divine attributes, you can still ignore the ** defense of the skeleton soldier. However, any weapon armor has durability, and once it is reset to zero, the equipment will be destroyed, and all attributes will disappear. Unless you go to the city's blacksmith to repair it, plus a certain amount of gold costs. In addition, durability can only be restored if the blacksmith class is consumed by consuming some materials.
For Renault, who is trapped in purgatory mode, there is no difference between the two options. You can't expect a blacksmith to fall from the sky, and if you consider that the blacksmith profession is a one-turn profession, even if a player is as unfortunate as him and is thrown here, he is still an unprofessional character like Renault.
After slicing through three zombies, twelve skeleton warriors, five wraiths, and thirty ghouls, Renault finally realizes that he can no longer spoil the Holy Dagger. He looked at the deep and bottomless corridor, and sighed as he put away his weapon, which had lost most of its durability, and replaced it with a bulky two-handed sword. He really didn't know how many undead were in front of him, quietly lurking in the eerie darkness, waiting for the moment when he appeared, and swarming up to bite his flesh, gnaw at his bones, and suck his marrow dry.
The ensuing encounter was inevitable, and Renault tried not to use a dagger as much as possible, and shredded the undead who stood in his way with sword damage.
Two more level 38 Black Samurai became true revenants under their two-handed swords. And Renault finally hung a heavy color under the "Sword of Death" in a short confrontation with the second Black Knight.
This was the first time Renault had missed a block skill.
Exclusive skills have the ability to increase the number of times the player uses them, so it stands to reason that the success rate of blocking has been sharpened by multiple battles, so there should be no mistakes. But in fact, it still happened, all because of Renault's physical exhaustion.
In Genesis GodOnline, there is no word "stamina" in the player's stat bar, only the number of HP. In the three days since the start of the service, after continuous exploration and research, Renault found that physical strength is real. It doesn't have any statistically displayed displays, nor does it give the player a reliable reference, the only thing that proves is that the stamina stats are related to physical attributes.
When the player continues to fight monsters, the physical strength naturally begins to decline, and when it drops to a certain value, the player will experience uncomfortable fatigue. If the player ignores the existence of fatigue and insists on fighting monsters or doing other manual labor, it will cause unexpected consequences to the player, such as the incredible MISS of the damage that should have been hit by one hit, and the inexplicable failure of the body of the dodge.
All in all, physical strength is very similar to physical strength in real shijie, which is a certain sensory information that cannot be seen or touched, but is really felt.
The continuous advance has exhausted all of Renault's physical strength, in fact, he can fight and rest, and maintain the most haode state to deal with the evil and powerful undead. But whenever he sat down to rest, he was restless by the creepy cries that came from time to time in the darkness in front of him.
