Chapter 2: Fighting the Devil
"Stupid mortal ..............."
The tyrannical demon held a weapon in his hand and looked at Duanmu Huai in front of him with a bit of smug mockery.
"You don't even understand who you're up against......... I'm ........."
Who listens to your nonsense!
Duanmu Huai didn't bother to listen to the opening remarks of the tyrannical demon, and he usually skips the cutscene before the boss battle, okay?
It's all death anyway, who's going to waste time on you?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his left hand without hesitation, and with a roar, the next moment the bursting flames instantly erupted, hitting the tyrannical demon's body, interrupting the stupid act of continuing to recite the opening sentence.
"You damn bastard!!"
The tyrannical demon obviously didn't expect that the human in front of him would be so bold and dare to interrupt his speech, and he was immediately annoyed and angry.
"I'm going to smash you stupid tin can! Let you understand how ............... mortals are in front of demons"
Who listens to your nonsense.
Duanmu Huai was naturally deaf to the roar of the tyrannical demon, and as soon as he struck a blow, he immediately grabbed the war hammer and rushed forward, rushing directly in front of the tyrannical demon, and swung it hard at the mechanical foot of its lower body.
"Boom!!"
The thunderous hammer slammed into the metal mechanical foot, and in an instant the thunder erupted, and even the movements of the tyrannical demon paused at this moment. But soon, it roared and swung its long sword, slashing at Duanmu Huai.
"Bang !!"
The flaming sword broke through the fragile shield and slashed directly into the heavy shoulder armor. However, Duanmu Huai did not choose to dodge, he was well aware of the weakness of this monster. The high mobility brought by the three pairs of mechanical feet is the biggest threat to the tyrannical demon, if you can't destroy its mechanical feet in the shortest time, then it will be a lot of waste for yourself to fight!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer again, shook it hard, and smashed it on the mechanical foot again, this time, the mechanical foot that had already suffered a heavy blow finally couldn't support it and shattered suddenly. And at the moment when the tyrannical demon's body was crooked, Duanmu Huai hit another heavy hammer with a roar!
Material dislocation!
The joints of the mechanical feet were completely cracked under the blow, and the solid steel was twisted and deformed under the violent impact, shattering and crumbling. As the two pairs of mechanical feet in front of him shattered, the tyrannical's body also tried to balance, screaming and falling forward. And Duanmu Huai naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, only to see him dodge and dodge, while holding the war hammer with both hands, his whole body suddenly spun around, and then saw a huge, pitch-black war hammer slammed on the back of the tyrannical demon's head!
Crit!
The back of the brain is the most vulnerable part of most creatures, and the Tyrannosaurus is no exception, relying mainly on its flexible mobility to fight enemies, and although it has the usual toughness of demons in terms of defense, it also has limits.
Under this breakthrough blow, the tyrannical demon also fell to the ground immediately, but even so, it still did not give up resistance. I saw the mechanical foot beneath the tyrannical demon swing wildly, trying to tear apart any threat that dared to approach it. At the same time, the tyrannical demon also tried to stand up again and fight the cunning human in front of him.
However, Duanmu Huai certainly wouldn't give it this chance, only to see him go around behind the tyrannical demon, raise the war hammer again, and smash it down against the tyrannical demon's mechanical foot.
"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! β
In an instant, the Tyranny's mechanical feet had been smashed into a pile of scrap metal, and without legs, it was now like a fish on the shore, only able to twist and bounce desperately trying to escape. However, Duanmu Huai obviously wouldn't give it this chance, he smashed the long sword in the hands of the tyrannical demon with a hammer, and then strode in front of the demon, and stepped on the hands of the tyrannical demon.
For Duanmu Huai, he has killed a lot of demons like the tyrannical demon, and in Xinghai OL, although there is also a setting that a high level can resist damage, there is also a saying that weak click killing. As long as you can grasp the weaknesses of each enemy and attack in a targeted manner, even a level 1 player can destroy monsters many levels higher than him. Killing monsters by leapfrogging is not uncommon in Xinghai OL, and Duanmu Huai is even more so as a lone player, his most glorious deed is to expelle the 90-level evil god incarnation alone, and it was after that battle that Duanmu Huai received a lot of orders, from the original small fight to a high-end player who can really make money.
Compared to the incarnation of the evil god, the tyrannical demon in front of him was just a drizzle...............
"Stupid mortals! You can't kill me! β
Realizing that he couldn't escape, the tyrannical demon roared angrily.
"I will return to my world and wait for the next time, when that time will tear you to pieces........."
However, before the tyrannical demon could finish speaking, the next moment the sturdy warhammer roared down and smashed directly into its head, smashing the tough head of the demon in front of it like a watermelon. Immediately after, I saw the corpse of the tyrannical demon burn in an instant, turning into black dust and disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, there's a lot of nonsense."
Duanmu Huai glanced at the demon corpse that was decomposing and disappearing, and snorted coldly. Of course, he knew that what the Tyrannical Demons said was true, that they could not be killed as demons, and that even if they were killed here, they would simply return to their own world. And even if you track down these demons and kill them in your own world, these demons will not be completely destroyed, but will become a low-level demon again in the way of reincarnation and resurrection.
But what does this have to do with Duanmu Locust?
Anyway, no matter how many come, just kill.
At the same time as Duanmu Huai killed the demon in front of him, a system prompt also appeared in front of him.
[Mission "Random Entry" completed]
[Mission Evaluation: Pretty good]
[Reward: 1500 XP, 1000 XP, Level 8, Attribute Points +1, Mastery Points +1, Obtain "Maintenance Device - Repair the Skull"]
[Follow-up mission "Guardian" triggered]
[Description: You defeated the Cultists of Chaos and rescued the sacrifices. But that's just the beginning, you can choose to take her out of here and get her back safely. Or leave her here to fend for herself. Either way, it's your choice]
Not bad.
For the completion of the task, Duanmu Huai is not surprised, basically every task has a similar setting, when you open a task, it is not just a simple task to eliminate the target, the impact of your actions in the task, even because of the people involved, will affect the evaluation of the task, and thus affect the task reward.
This is also a very attractive point among Star Ocean OL, many players will even carefully study each mission to make sure that they can get the best reward.
Obviously, saving that girl is the reason for his high mission evaluation, if Duanmu Huai ignores this girl, I'm afraid the mission evaluation will not be so high.
As for the mastery points obtained, Duanmu Huai put it on (attack weakness) to increase the blast damage, which is also the upgrade plan of Duanmu Huai before the crossing, although he was pinching a cute girl character at the time, but in fact, it was still Duanmu Huai's style of violent melee flowβββ Well, it can be seen from his ID.
The next attribute point, Duanmu Huai continued to add strength, increasing the strength to 11 points, and at the same time raising the interstellar warrior combat training to LV4βββ anyway, the charm is locked, and if you can't add it, then that's the only way.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai turned around, only to see that the ragged girl was poking her head out uneasily to look this way, after seeing him, the girl suddenly shrank in fright, and some didn't know what to do. Duanmu Huai didn't care about this, he just strode forward and glanced at the girl as he passed by.
"Come with me if you want."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai left this filthy and evil place directly, and the girl hesitated for a moment, but still followed behind Duanmu Huaiβββ she can't let her stay here and be the company of those charred evil god believers!
Of course, this group of evil god believers would not choose the lively urban area as the location to summon demons, in fact, this is a deserted wilderness, Duanmu Huai certainly doesn't know what this place is, but it doesn't matter, after all, there is a local indigenous person next to him.
The girl followed him, and at the same time told her origin, her name was Alyssa, and she was the daughter of the lord of this territory, although it was a barren territory on the border, but it was also their home for them. Not long ago, after attending a banquet for the merchants of the city, they were about to take a carriage back to the castle, but they were kidnapped by the cultists on the way, and their father and guards were killed by the fierce cultists, leaving her as a sacrifice......... Obviously, if it weren't for Duanmu Huai coming, I'm afraid she would also have fallen victim to those evil god believers.
Alyssa burst into tears, Duanmu Huai looked very calm, any player has done a similar task 1,800 times, although he sympathizes with this eldest lady, but unfortunately the wood has been completed, and he has nothing else to say except for the festival mourning.
You can't raise the dead.
"You know what this place is"
"When, of course!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Alyssa nodded vigorously.
"This is the wilderness beyond the borders of the Empire........."
"Do you know how to get around?"
"Yes."
"Let's go, then."
Duanmu Huai decisively decided to complete the follow-up mission first, after all, finding the holy artifact is a very complicated matter, the holy relics of each planet have different story lines, some are buried deep in the depths of the ruins, players need to investigate a large number of clues first, and then lock the location of the ruins, and then go in to explore and take out the holy artifact.
That's not bad, some of the holy artifacts will even be enshrined as artifacts on the local planet, and at that time it will be troublesome, and players will either directly fight to lose their prestige and grab it, or they will have to go through the plot to see if there is a way to get it peacefully. Of course, it also depends on the level and level of civilization of each planet.
It's okay to say that a "novice planet" like the one in front of you is at most a medieval level, but those starry sky civilizations in the later stage are differentβββ which is why players need to build fleets.
You can't fight a space fleet alone.
Although in the later stage, this is not completely impossible.
Although Alyssa was anxious to leave quickly, she herself was exhausted, and it was getting late, so after escaping from the stronghold of the cultists and temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the other party, she could only find a random place to rest first, and wait until the next day to hurry.
Duanmu Huai didn't care about this, after all, his power armor had also been damaged in the previous battle with the tyrannical demon, and it also needed to be repaired.
Curled up beside the fire, Alyssa cautiously looked at the tall black figure not far away, she walked all the way with the other party, but she didn't see this mysterious knight take off his helmet, revealing the true face of Lushan.
"Please ........."
However, just as Alyssa mustered up her courage and was about to talk, she was surprised to see the metal box behind the knight suddenly open, and then a white skull flew out of it, circling around the black knight, and from time to time from the black hole hole hole in the eye socket emitted a strange light, shining on the black knight's armor.
"Wowββββββ!"
Seeing this strange thing, Alyssa was startled.
What's, what is this?
Could it be the skull of a dead man? Could he be the legendary Death Knight?
Speaking of which, he has the marks of a skull on his shoulders and waist......... Isn't that a necromancer's favorite symbol?
He didn't want to turn me into an undead creature when he saved me?
Could it be that the skull that now surrounds him is also his former victim?
Alyssa looked at Duanmu Huai uneasily, but she didn't know what to do. I'd love to just run now, but what about leaving here? If you get lost in the wilderness, I'm afraid you will directly become the bait of the wild wolf.
But stay here......... Is it really okay?
"What's wrong?"
Sensing Alyssa's gaze, Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at her, he had just activated the repair device and was repairing his power armor. As an heirloom, this set of power armor can not only increase its power as the player upgrades, but can even have unique abilities by installing various plug-ins. Basically, this set of equipment can be used until the full level for Duanmu Huai.
After all, it's equipment used to help the trumpet through the plot.........
"That......... Excuse me..............."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Alyssa hesitated for a moment and asked timidly.
"Excuse me......... Knight, you ......... It's human, right? β
"Of course, what's the problem?"
"I'd like to be able to see your face if I could."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This request is really speechless.
Hearing Alyssa's inquiry, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, and then he opened his helmet and looked at Alyssa.
"That's it."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Alyssa didn't speak, she just stared blankly at Duanmu Huai, and then ............... She just fell to the ground and passed out.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and silently put on his helmet.
I knew it would be like this.
