105. Go through SC before you come to fight the boss, and if you can't pass it, you will be gagged off [45/60]
It was hours before the young players were online again.
They slept very fully and sweetly in the other world, except for the unlucky ghosts who were gagged off during the previous raiders, the remaining 39 people went online at the same time at the agreed time.
It's the weekend, and everyone can have fun again.
But when they awoke from the underground warehouse that served as a "quest save point", even the dumbest of young players felt a big difference in the Blood Vulture Corridor.
It was obviously a lot more slaughtered here than it was yesterday, and it seemed that even a disturbing chill was in the air.
"You're awake at last, warriors."
They were greeted in front of the warehouse by Murphy's loyal servant Maxim.
This white-haired swordsman still had a strong fighting aura on his body, but he still maintained a cold fighting posture, and announced to the young players in front of him through the calculation orb:
"Thanks to your hard work and good cooperation yesterday, we have now cleared the middle of the cloister, Master Murphy has opened the final path to the Holy Blood Pool, and the most difficult challenge is just around the corner.
But bad news you need to know!
What the fallen Salokdal is planning is even more terrifying than we imagined, a subspace rift is hidden in the hall of the Holy Blood Pool, it can be opened in the material world at any time, and once it is successfully opened, the entire Translancia region will collapse and tear apart in an instant.
We've received assistance from the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and Lady Triss is putting the finishing touches on her tactics.
I don't want to hide from you how difficult the battle will be, the truth is that none of us will ever see the moonlight of tomorrow again.
However, there is no way back!
So, at the bereavement of Master Murphy, I must lead you to the final battle at once, and the stingy witch hunters were persuaded by the grim reality to finally come up with their reserves at the bottom of the box. ”
Maxim pointed to the large amount of Vampire Slayer Sword Oil and a series of psychic protection scrolls placed next to him, and said to the young players in front of him:
"Three per person! It should only be used in the most critical moments, and once the protective effect of the scroll is exhausted, you must immediately withdraw from the battlefield, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.
This is the first time you, and I, have fought against the subspace demons, and we must be prepared to die! ”
The little players were immediately stunned.
In the team channel, everyone has been discussing it in a chaotic manner.
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Car: [Blanch! Why did the plot advance so deep all of a sudden if it wasn't online this night? What is that subspace rift? Does it sound so powerful, but is it more dangerous than the astral rift that has engulfed Cadman City? 】
Ah Ruen: [This stupid car is Xun, didn't you listen to the NPC? That thing, once opened, would tear all of Transencia apart!
This is obviously a plot kill!
It's just to cooperate with the server restart mentioned in the last link of the prologue mission.,Obviously, the development team also wrote a background story for the plot kill restart after the failure of this strategy.,I'm so damn grateful to their whole family! 】
Reed Female Sword Master: [It's not a sigh, it's not oh~ It's not just made up randomly, I read some in-game texts posted by Lumina's translation in the forum yesterday, and it's very clear.
The psionists of this world have concluded that subspace is an infinite dimension beyond the astral boundary, where it is the source of all psionic energy, but it is also the source of chaos for all evil in the world.
They believe that all the evils and disasters of the material world are caused by the mysterious fluctuations of the subspace, although it sounds incredible, but if you look closely, after adding the unscientific factor of psionic energy, the underlying logic of this system actually makes sense. 】
Onboard Happy Bar: [!! Is this the time for you to discuss the depth of the plot and the structure of the worldview? Brothers and sisters, hurry up! The NPCs have all cleared the way to the final boss, shouldn't it be a pleasant boss fight session next?
You're all serious!
You experienced the difficulty of this dungeon yesterday, and the final boss can't be weak.
In other words, isn't this dungeon process a bit short, why are there only three bosses? 】
King Meow: [It's five!] The remaining two bosses are hidden, I just read the battle report released by Maxim, yesterday when we raided the first and second numbers, Lord Murphy and the old knight set off from the secret passage and went straight to the depths of the corridor.
They took out an astral manticore and a group of ghost bandits in the secret passage.
Obviously!
This is a plot remedy made by the development team after collecting our real-time battle data and realizing that they had made the monster values too outrageous, so they let the NPC help us solve the boss that we can't defeat now. 】
The big pigeon: [This is too cunning! Didn't the drops of those two bosses disappear out of thin air? 】
The Chosen Gray Man: [At this time, you still want to fall? Have you forgotten how we were pressed to the ground by the boss yesterday? Obviously, this dungeon design is a bit outrageous, and it will definitely have to be adjusted in the future.,I guess there will be no such thing as dropping after the official version of the dungeon comes out, right? 】
Sister Pomegranate uprooted the weeping willows: [Okay, don't argue about this, hurry up and follow the NPC to the final hall, I want to see with my own eyes what the subspace rift looks like?] 】
At the urging of Sister Pomegranate, a group of players followed Maxim to the final hall, where they passed through the central corridor that had been cleared by witch hunters, but the closer they got to the Hall of the Holy Blood, the more NPCs numbered.
At the final gate, they met Murphy and Old Finoch.
At this time, the two plot leaders have visible traces of battle on their bodies.
The old knight's white oak armor had left black signs of corrosion, and Murphy's cloak had become tattered, and he would sit in a chair and gasp for breath, the blade of the Desire Race in his hand still dripping strange black blood.
Just thirty minutes ago, he and Old Finok teamed up to take out the last dozen or so patriarch guards who were tempted by the subspace, and those guys were all real silver-level, powerful people like Jade, because of insanity, subspace corrosion, and weakness of the blood source that allowed Murphy's sneak attack to succeed.
It's a shame to say that there were fifteen monsters in all, and the tough old knight drove thirteen of them in one go, and Murphy only picked up two heads and made a mess of himself.
This Murphy is really inferior!
But it doesn't matter, it's pretty good that he can do this at his current level, and the [Warrior's Certificate] has also been ignited smoothly.
"You're finally here, my warriors."
Murphy opened his eyes, and under the escort of Maxim with Lady Adele and the eldest lady, he rose to look at his warriors.
Of the 60 people who set out, only 39 remain, which shows the fierceness of the fighting.
But the little players who have survived the ferocious battles until now are the best of the best in Murphy's hands, and he has a lot of confidence in them, even if they are facing an enemy that they are simply powerless to fight against.
"The final battle is about to begin! I need you to join me in escorting the eldest lady to the pool of the Holy Blood. ”
Murphy said in a deep voice:
"The eldest lady will take on the responsibility of severing the connection between Sarlockdar and the Holy Blood Pool, and only after this process is completed will Tracey's adventure plan to banish the forces of chaos to the astral plane be implemented, and Lord Finock and I will clear the last obstacle for you.
We have just discovered that as long as we get close to the polluted pool of holy blood, there will be subspace evil spirits rushing out of it, and they don't want to see the possibility of them stepping into this world to be snuffed out by us.
But that's exactly what we need to do.
Build a line of defense around the pool of blood and hold out until the very end.
It's difficult!
It's almost a death move, but we have to do it!
For the territory we have so hard to get, for the future we have sworn to build, for the big plan we have already started!
This time, I'm going to fight with you to the end!
Win it all, or go to hell together. ”
The determination contained in Murphy's NPC rhetoric was felt by the young players, although not everyone liked deep role-playing and empathized with NPCs as much as Lumina, but everyone got along together for more than ten days, and with Murphy's company, they killed one enemy after another and solved one trouble after another.
At this time, seeing the determination of his own NPC to die, even the most rational happy stick couldn't help but clench the gun in his hand, of course, such a rational guy as Brother Bang would definitely not be instigated by three or two sentences.
What he cares more about is that if the main NPC hangs, won't the archive he worked so hard to build be gone?
Can this be endured?
"You won't die here! We won't allow you to die here! ”
The most proficient Ah Ru stepped forward, just like the sworn knights in the movie, he raised the veteran sword in his hand and shouted:
"Murphy wins! Transnicia must win! ”
But the imaginary scene where everyone swore an oath with him did not appear, and Ah Ru turned around to find that the big guys were looking at him with stupid eyes.
"Damn! You guys cooperate a little! I'm recording it. ”
Ah Ru shouted, and then the crowd rang out the same call, and Brother Meow raised his staff very perfunctorily and waved.
The attention of the cunning social man at this time was in front of the half-open door in front of him.
A vicious aura oozed from it, making the oak apprentice feel the strange sensation of his heart being clutched.
He tentatively reached out in front of the wooden door and pushed forward, peering inside, and the first thing he saw was the swirl of energy dotted with dim purple points of light suspended above the Crimson Pool.
It has a physical presence in the physical world.
The constant rotation at a constant speed is a dark singularity in which the material world opens, and it is like an ominous eye that opens to engulf all light.
Brother Meow was immediately attracted by the whirlpool, and he felt that his spirit was going to be sucked into it.
The world before his eyes quickly twisted.
There seemed to be strange smoke and looming shadows stretching out of the darkness, and those invisible places seemed to float with terrifying spirits staring at him coldly, as if a thousand voices were echoing in his mind and ears at the same time, speaking a language he did not understand at all.
He wanted to see everything more real.
He wanted to hear the call to the truth.
He also wanted to plunge into the warm and quiet, elegant and noisy sea of dark stars in front of him.
Brother Meow's eyes became hollow, as if the spirit and will were being squeezed out of this body, and was being thrown into another unknown realm, and at this time, his game helmet lying on the bed in another world was emitting a piercing alarm.
The connection program has entered the countdown to disconnection.
"What are you doing?"
A scolding sounded from behind, making Brother Meow a spirit.
Before his rusty brain could reactivate, a huge force extended from behind him, pulling him back into the corridor behind him, who had already stepped half a foot into the hall of the Holy Pool.
At the moment when Brother Meow blinked his eyes and regained his senses, he was greeted by an ever-expanding fist with delicate armor and stabs.
"Bang"
There was a muffled sound, and Brother Meow's whole person was knocked to the ground.
If it weren't for Murphy pulling him at the last minute, this punch would have been enough to open the little player's skull.
"He's been seduced by Chaos! It's a threat that must be eliminated. ”
One of the three Blood Alliance knights who had arrived at Cadman's ruins before pulling Mew Meow back into the hallway, a silver-tiered flat-chested girl vampire, whispered coldly.
Murphy protected Brother Meow, who was still dazed, behind him, and looked at the Blood Alliance knight in front of him, and he retorted loudly:
"My warrior will not be tempted, just now he was careless, the same attack can't be effective against them twice! I can guarantee it! ”
"With all due respect, Lord Murphy, your courage is impressive, but your warriors are simply not qualified to join such a battle!"
The female knight of the Blood Alliance in front of her said coldly:
"They are too weak, as long as they enter the battlefield, they will become slaves of the subspace and in turn become our trouble, the current situation is bad enough, please don't make it more difficult for us."
"No!"
The old knight Finok, who had not spoken, raised his head at this moment and said to the three Blood Alliance knights who came to the aid first:
"Their presence is necessary, Murphy's decision-making is not wrong, and I don't trust any supporters except for them, who are not afraid of death."
Old Finok knew that the players were spirits from another world.
They are not afraid of death, so there is no burden on them to attack their tempted companions when necessary, and their contempt for death will be the most valuable talent in the fight against Chaos.
This is an advantage that even the best witch hunters do not have.
No matter how firm your will is in the face of death, it will be shaken, and once your will is shaken, it will be caught by the chaos of subspace, unless you don't take death seriously from the beginning, under such a grand spirit, it will naturally be difficult for the subspace will to affect you anymore.
After all, if you are not even afraid of death, there are too few things to be afraid of in this world.
"I'm wondering, why didn't we have a fight before we started fighting? Is it because of the beauty that you are all affected by subspace? ”
Just as the three parties confronted each other, a slightly pompous and somewhat languid man's voice sounded from the shadows of the corridor.
The voice seemed to have some kind of magnetism of its own, making everyone's eyes look backwards.
In their gaze, a blonde knight nearly 2 meters tall, wearing golden-red heavy armor and carrying a riding spear and a heavy shield, and holding a lion helmet in his hand, strode forward.
Handsome, dashing, and gentle are the first impressions this guy makes, and the scarlet in the depths of his blue pupils and his excessively fair skin are symbols of his race.
The most annoying thing is that this guy also has a night rose fixed by psionic energy on his breastplate, which makes him full of the breath of a prodigal son, and when they see him, the three Blood Alliance knights immediately stand up straight and salute their knight lords.
His Excellency the Blade of Dignity, the First Knight Lord of the Blood Alliance Knights, waved his hand.
He looked around, and his eyes lit up at the sight of Miss Femis, Lady Adele, and the gray-haired witch Natalie.
A beautiful rose slid forward, took out three delicate roses from her hand as if by magic, and handed them to the three ladies.
Miss Femis, who obviously knew this person's character, sighed and reached out to take the rose, and glanced at Lady Adele again. As for the witch hunters, the old knight Finoch, who had also heard of the name of His Excellency Paliano Gelci Cappadocia, covered his eyes and waved his hand.
Although she didn't understand it very well, Natalie also took the rose with a strange expression.
Then, he looked at Sister Pomegranate, Lumina, and Orchid Flower in the little player, and his eyes lit up again, and he took out three roses again and gave them to each other.
The atmosphere at the scene became awkward for a while.
The expressions of the players are different, but for some reason, the rhodium, cesium, and beryllium are suddenly full of affection for the NPC in front of them, which looks very powerful, tsk, this guy is a fellow who knows how to appreciate beauty!
Only Xiao Weiming gritted his teeth and pulled out the pistol on his waist.
That's all there are for girls here!
You gave each of you but didn't give it to me!
You said!
What the hell do you mean?
Just as she was about to explode, Paliano turned around and took out the rose and handed it into her hand, making Reed's name happy.
But then she found out that the rose in her hand was actually a trumpet.
It's smaller than everyone else's!
The hateful, vicious hint made her nose crooked.
And Murphy looked at this guy who could be called handsome in every sense of the word, and made him feel a hint of threat, and the biggest doubt floating in his mind was, is this guy sick?
Where did he get so many roses!
Is it really good to carry so much of this useless thing with you?
But before Murphy could speak, the neurotic knight lord pulled out a distinctive blue rose with his backhand and handed it to Murphy with a smile on his face.
He said with appreciation:
"I didn't expect there to be such a handsome and powerful person in my clan that I felt threatened, and I have heard your story in Lady Trissy, come on, Murphy, accept it, and salute you on my behalf!
One perfect gentleman to another. ”
Murphy froze in shock for a moment, but then, with the most appropriate smile and the most graceful manners, he took the blue rose and nodded to the other party.
I don't know exactly what's going on though.
But being praised by such a handsome guy for being handsome, well, this guy is weird.
