Chapter 11: How Did He Do It?

Despite being the first boss of the first dungeon...... But because the name was so hard to remember, Ivas had long forgotten about it.

In order not to waste his teammates' time, all the cutscene CG in this four-person book, Ivas has always skipped directly.

He had no idea what Ademar looked like outside of entering the combat state. Just remember that he was a hunchbacked giant with purple cobwebs all over his skin.

They called Admar Little Purple at the time.

Because this is the first enemy to transcend the path. In the early stage, players rarely saw other bosses and NPCs with purple light effects, so they named them intuitively.

The reason why it is called Xiao Zi is because there is also a "Big Purple" behind this copy. In the other dungeon, there are enemies called "Old Purple" and "Purple Girl". As of version 1.2 onwards, the number of enemies beyond the path increased, and they stopped calling them that.

Along with the memories revived, there is also the incomparably simple mechanism of the "evil bartender"-

Ademar was seen holding his hands on the counter, his arms swelling at a visible rate, and his sleeves were directly broken.

He slapped his right hand suddenly, and it was extremely fast, as if it were wrapped in a blast of wind.

"[Firm demeanor]."

And Ivus even before he waved his palm, he commanded in advance behind him.

At the moment of hearing the command.

Hayna's body acted spontaneously before her mind acted. The light wheel at the bottom of her pupil suddenly turned, and she turned the blade of the sword sideways, holding her left hand against the front half of the blade. The center of gravity of the body sinks, and the right leg kicks the ground. In the blink of an eye, he made a gesture against the impact.

- Choke!

It was obviously the contact between the palm of his hand and the thin sword, but there was a sound of a giant hammer smashing against the iron felt.

The sword body, which was blessed by the law and tactics of the way of authority, blocked this blow strongly!

Haina could clearly feel a tremendous force rushing down the blade of the sword.

If it weren't for the fact that she reflexively obeyed Ivus's command and used the "Steadfast Demeanor", she would have flown upside down and smashed into Ivus, who was in a wheelchair behind her!

But at this moment, her body is like a poured foundation, completely channeling this power into the earth!

After the blow, she instinctively caught the breath of the opponent's attack and launched a sharp counterattack!

With a backhand sword, it slashed along the underside of the right arm that was bounced back and tore all the way to the left shoulder.

Blood burst out, and the wicked bartender staggered back in pain, crashing into the wine cabinet behind him.

A bottle fell from the collision and hit the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

She remembered the instructor's teaching that "you can't rush forward", and instinctively wanted to return to the original standard posture.

However, Ivus gave the order just right.

"[Giant Slam]."

- Is it really possible?

A hesitant thought flashed through her mind.

The giant slam must be charged, unable to move or parry until it is slashed; And after slashing, it is impossible to change its moves, and it is easy to be dodged and counterattacked by dexterous enemies.

According to the instructor's instructions, this trick should be used when it is confirmed that the opponent is no longer able to fight back or dodge, forcing the opponent to choose a defense - and then shattering the opponent's defense.

After gaining the advantage in the first encounter, you should use [Sharpening the Blade] to temporarily increase the sharpness of the blade, or use [Drinking Technique] to take advantage of the opponent's defeat to intimidate and make the opponent further weak. You have to control the distance between the other person and yourself, not too close, not too far. Keep the opponent within the area of influence of [Charge Slash], and at the same time ensure that there is enough open space behind you, leaving yourself room to retreat, dodge, and parry.

…… Oh no, it seems to be Mr. Ivas behind me. So should I get out of the way first?

But in that case, wouldn't it expose him......

As her brain raced through complex thoughts, the moment Haina wandered, her well-trained body moved on its own.

After receiving Eivus's order, she took a deep breath and changed her dagger to a two-handed hand, her back slightly stiffened like that of a cat before the hunt.

After about half a second of charging, her figure shot out.

A white light as sharp and cold as the arc moon burst in the air, and the counter in front of the wild elf bartender was directly cut off by her.

The huge impact made the bartender's body freeze in place instantly.

Even the bartender subconsciously parried, and the left arm that was blocking in front of him was also cut off!

The bones of his forearms were severed. The purple, severely edema-like left hand fell to the ground, and the bartender let out a terrible scream, and the purple lines on his body quickly faded back the way they came.

The scream was so terrible that it startled Hayna.

And his posture of detachment from the fighting state made Haina not know whether he should continue to fight the other party.

At this moment, Ehuas's serious voice came again.

"Hayna, get out of the way."

She made a mistake and jumped half a step to the side.

- I could only hear the sound of gunshots.

The bartender's left eye was pierced by a bullet, and blood burst out from the back of his head. Blood bloomed like flowers on the wine cabinet behind him.

His body slid down weakly, dragging a crimson streak of blood.

She didn't even see where Ivas had hidden the gun. He was still in a wheelchair, silent. There was still a faint white smoke rising from his black cloak, and the corners of his mouth under the cloak were slightly raised.

In Eivus's view, tiny white dots of light gradually emerged from the corpse and poured into himself.

[Kill the second-level transcendent and gain free experience 14]

Ewass smiled happily.

Let me grab someone's head, thanks.

Although there is very little experience in killing monsters directly in Ouroboros, leveling up mainly depends on quests, crafts, buying books and reading, and rewarding experience from daily dungeons...... But mosquito legs are also meat.

Not to mention, he's now low-ranked. The benefits of eating free experience to pull levels are still quite high.

These 14 points of free experience, plus the 24 points given by the demon scholar who fought back before, are evenly divided into the three skills of the demon scholar, and they can almost be upgraded to four levels.

He can also give a little experience to the priesthood, and point to the second level to open the way. Then upgrade the Demon Scholar by three levels, which is the plan with the biggest short-term benefits.

Or you can stay for a while, and wait for him to learn other skills of the Path, such as "Ritual Fire", "Illumination", "Blessing", which are more useful than "prayer" and difficult to level up, and then add experience. These experiences can also directly pull the priest level to level five. This is the most cost-effective way to improve in the long run.

After all, "Demon Knowledge" can steadily improve the level as long as you read the mysterious books of Demon Knowledge; "Basic Prayer" is to pray at least twice a day for three minutes each time to achieve steady improvement; The "Demon Contract" is even more like this, and he can slowly get power replenishment from the Shadow Demon without doing anything.

Only the "basic ritual" is a bit of a hassle. The main trouble is the word "foundation".

Its level is too low, and the level of the ritual used by Ivus to make the "Shadow Blade" is too high, and it can't even eat experience. Ivas really couldn't remember this kind of low-level ritual - the ritual that allowed him to memorize the formula, at least the kind he used more often, or the formula that could be hung out to slaughter pigs.

From this point of view, the Demon Scholar can be upgraded if left alone. The promotion of the priesthood profession is much more difficult, and it can only be grinded slowly.

If the pastor can be promoted to the second rank as soon as possible, it will prove that he is a "man who is willing to give".

If not, how could he have walked so smoothly on the path of dedication?

Is the level of your dedication higher than mine? Not as tall as me, why do you say I'm not a good person?

That's an invincible life-saving card! He can also be a key student as a natural student, and eat the resources of the seminary...... In this way, he is not "a bad student who took a three-month leave at the beginning of the school year", but "a genius who is weak and sickly but pious and kind".

But in this case, these 38 points of experience are a bit less......

Evas's mind was full of thoughts, but in an instant, new bad thoughts came to mind.

Haina looked at the corpse and was a little stunned. Obviously, she is not like what she said, because she "killed someone", so she can calmly kill her.

Before she could react and ask why Ivas had suddenly killed the man.

Ivas sued the wicked first, and took the lead in asking, "Why didn't you just behead him?" He couldn't stop it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes? ”

Haina's brain crashed for a moment, and then she whispered, "Because he's a lot weaker than me." I saw that he had lost his ability to resist, and I thought he should be able to capture ...... alive."

Indeed it is. This man's battle instincts are indeed quite accurate.

Aivath quietly agreed with Hayna's statement.

If the matter had ended here, and they had left with the captured bartender, the case would have been closed.

But Ivas can't really let the Inspectorate torture him - what if he confesses to me?

Although the Moriarty family is a bit influential, he can't say whether his adopted son will be convicted if there is clear evidence.

So Ivas changed the previous topic and said sternly, "Did you notice that?" When he sees you showing his way, his first reaction is to resist or even attack you.

What does this mean? This means that he has no intention of confessing his sins! ”

- Nonsense, a vicious bandit who has a life in his hand and a murder weapon, and is about to be sentenced to death if he catches it, suddenly runs into a note that he found alone, how can he order it directly? Even if you don't fight back, at least you have to try to see if you can escape.

Ivus complained in his heart.

But his face did not waver in the slightest.

He just said word by word: "You can know that he is much weaker than you as soon as you get started, or even if you don't get started, so will he not know?" Now that he knows, he still takes the initiative to resonate with the path and attack youβ€”what does that mean? ”

It means that he knows that he can't outrun you, and in desperation, he can only fight for his life.

Ivas said in his heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What does it stand for? ”

Haina hesitated.

She felt like her mind was blank - if she had seen such a question on a paper, she thought that she could give a perfect answer after thinking about it. But now that the fresh corpse was smelling of blood, she felt her heart be a little confused.

"You think," said Ivus, "he said that the food was expensive at the beginning, just to dissuade us. This shows that he does not want to clash head-on with the Inspectorate......"

"Well, I understand."

"But then, I just asked you to draw your sword, and I didn't even let you do itβ€”in which case he dared to attack you, instead of running away or quibbling. Why did he dare to do this? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Therefore, he should have a ...... that is very expensive to use and therefore cannot be used normally But at the same time a very powerful ability? ”

Haina replied tentatively.

Ivas nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly. ”

Don't say it, there really is.

This reasoning is not wrong. This is one of the reasons why the evil bartender chooses to fight hard, because he is indeed not without chances.

The profession of the evil bartender is a "demon man" who transcends the path, and when he enters a state of serious injury, he can return half of his maximum life in one breath, and then enter a demonized state that quickly deducts blood and strengthens all attributes.

It's just that your damage is too high, and you will be cut in the jump stage with two knives.

Use the right information and the wrong direction of thinking to deduce an equally correct answer. No one could have realized what was wrong with this - even when she brought the body back, she would only get the result that "Ivus was right".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So that's it! ”

Haina was convinced: "Thank you, Aihuas! You saved me! ”

Ivus nodded steadily: "So when facing the most vicious bandits, you must not hesitate. You want to keep your mouth alive, but the other person doesn't think so. ”

You see, she has to thank us.

"So what are we going to do now," she was now accustomed to asking Ivas questions and obeying his commands, "shall we pack up the corpse and bring it back?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Ivas tugged at his cloak and said calmly, "It's not his turn to be behind this.

"The real prisoner, it's in the basement of this bar. She's been listening here for a long time.

"Don't confront her head-onβ€”pour the liquor through the crack in the door and burn it here."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wouldn't it be a little too bad? What if she comes out? ”

"Then let you deal with her."

After repeatedly verifying the correctness of Ivus, this time Hayna's heart finally stopped subconsciously thinking of raising the bar.

She just looked at the basement expectantly, clenching her unsheathed dagger and eagerly trying it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What a surprise. ”

Sure enough, a woman's voice rang out from the direction of Haina's gaze.

She slowly pushed open the basement door.

It was a bald woman dressed in bright red robes, with a muscular physique and skin as pale as a corpse. She was at least 1.7 meters tall, her left arm was full of muscles when she pushed open the door, her chest was high and bulging, and her pupils were faintly shining with purple light.

Haina clenched her dagger in her hand, her weight sinking and about to charge.

But then her pupils suddenly shrank and she stopped in place.

I saw a few purple runes appear on the woman's right arm, and her fingers grasped it like she was holding a ball.

Spirits that fluttered like unjust spirits wrapped around her fingertips, and a faint bluish pale gray mist gathered. Forms an irregular ball about the size of a baby's skull. The cold energy visible to the naked eye fluctuated like a heartbeat, causing the almost visible deep cold gray wind to roll towards them along the floor in waves.

Haina didn't know the spell. But she did feel the threat clearly.

And the woman also held the magic ball that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and did not attack.

That's right.

If she tosses the orb over, Hayna will likely dodge at this distance; If she used it to attack Aihuas, then Hawena's charge would not have been able to take it.

But Haina did not dare to rush over. Because she didn't know what the specific effect of this spell was.

If you eat this orb at close range, it may lead to a direct defeat.

So she stood faintly in front of Ivus's side, but did not block the trajectory of Ivus's shot. The three men were locked in a brief stalemate.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why did you know I was in the basement? ”

The bald woman stared at Ivas expressionlessly and asked, "Did I show the evidence somewhere?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How did you do that? ”

"It's experience."

Ivus replied simply. Because there is more than one boss in this dungeon.

- Sure enough, it's reasoning again!

How the hell did he guess?!

Hayna on the side felt uplifted and excited.
