I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Umaru: This game's boss is so sleazy!

After the opening animation finishes, the protagonist, "Wolf," awakens in an underground cave.

Officially enter the game.

Xiaomai controlled the wolf, hopping and skipping around, getting familiar with the buttons and controls.

As a top-tier gamer, Umaru's mastery of Sekiro's controls is absolutely amazing.

The clear and smooth picture quality, along with the vibration and fluidity of some movements, are all very surprising.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this game is absolutely amazing, judging by its incredibly smooth controls and stunningly clear graphics!"

Hamster Umaru stared at the game screen with a joyful smile and shining eyes. It was her first time playing such an exquisitely crafted game, so she shared her joy with her fans:

"Anyone with eyes can see how clear the graphics and how smooth the controls are in Sekiro, right? Among all the high-quality games I've played, I can tell you with certainty that Sekiro is absolutely outstanding in these aspects!"

The comments section was filled with donations and positive feedback from viewers and players. They weren't blind; Sekiro's visuals were simply amazing, and its physics engine was top-notch.

"It's undeniable that Raiden Games has put a lot of effort into this transformative work."

"The beginning of Sekiro just now made me want to keep watching, and the streamer's gameplay has already made me want to subscribe! Show us what happens next!"

"Games set in the Sengoku period are all in my favorite category. As long as Sekiro is of high quality, I will definitely buy it!"

Umaru smiled slightly, controlling the wolf to leap and bound. However, after scurrying around and looking at the game scene, Umaru realized that there seemed to be no game map.

The hamster girl searched carefully for a long time in the control area and settings, but couldn't find any options related to the map.

That shouldn't be the case. With my dedicated older brother working at the company, I shouldn't have made this kind of mistake.

"Viewers, I think you've all noticed that this game doesn't have a map. A game with such exquisite graphics would never make such a basic mistake. I think the lack of a map is simply part of the gameplay."

Since there was no map, Umaru had to speak up to explain, hoping her fans wouldn't misunderstand.

Whether it's an action game or a role-playing game, any game of this type will definitely have maps and such.

This is also a very basic game setting.

However, in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Umaru-chan couldn't find the map option no matter how much she looked around, which means that the game has removed the map setting.

You need to memorize all the paths yourself and explore them by relying on your senses.

"No map is fine, it just means I can enjoy the game's scenery with the audience. I won't give up just because I don't have a map!"

"We didn't have any weapons at the beginning, so we had to follow the instructions. Given that the protagonist is a ninja, stealth and rock climbing are definitely his basic skills!"

Umaru relied on her keen gaming sense to control the wolf and quickly found the god-child Kuro without alerting the guards.

Looking at the handsome face of the god-like Kuro on the screen, Umaru, the hamster, paused for a moment before speaking:

"This divine child is quite handsome..."

Indeed, compared to the protagonist's weathered and resolute face, Shenzi Jiulang is quite beautiful and delicate.

The lively live stream was filled with bizarre comments such as "yoooooooo", "I drew a girl but insisted she was a boy", "She is my wife", "I would go through fire and water for my wife", and "Now I understand why the wolf is looking for him".

Amidst the laughter and cheers in the live stream, Umaru discovered that she now had a weapon. The protagonist, Wolf, accepted the famous sword 'Kusabumaru' that the god-child Kuro had entrusted to him for safekeeping, along with a gourd of healing medicine.

After drinking the gourd to replenish her health and equipping the famous sword, Wedge Pill, the viewers in the live stream and Xiaomai knew that the game had only just begun.

The door was pushed open, only to find two soldiers strutting outside.

"Yosh, my first kill is coming!"

Excited, Umaru quickly maneuvered the wolf behind the first soldier. After triggering a red dot, she reacted quickly and pressed the attack button.

With a swift and fluid motion, the wolf dispatched a soldier.

puff--

The blade pierced the soldier's neck, and blood spurted out!

Next was another soldier. This time, when he arrived in front of the already wary opponent, he did not trigger the previous red dot.

Umaru, who is particularly quick-witted when it comes to games, also realized that the scene was probably triggered by a sneak attack.

"That smooth assassination move just now could only be triggered by a sneak attack. The special effects and action were fantastic. It was so cool right from the start!"

Next, Umaru confronted the monster head-on, thinking she could take it down in a few hits, but the monster precisely raised its sword to block her attack.

The two swords clashed, producing a clang.

Block! This little monster can block!

clang! clang! clang! clang!

The sounds of swords clashing were incessant, and the crisp sounds and tiny sparks that flew off delighted Xiaomai and the viewers in the live stream.

The vibrations of the controller, the loud sound effects, and the sparks flying across the screen.

"This is so cool! The combat system in this game is amazing!!"

Instead of being unhappy about the little monsters that couldn't be dealt with quickly, Umaru the hamster became even more interested.

The vibration from the handle in her hand made her feel as if she were actually fighting and exchanging blows with the enemy.

She shared all these feelings with the viewers in the live stream.

"Having played so many action games, I assure you, Sekiro's sensory experience is absolutely the most exhilarating!"

While sharing her feelings about the game with her fans in the live stream, Xiaomai has gradually mastered the correct operation and gameplay.

"Hehehe, you can't hit me! I've already mastered the correct way to play the game."

Umaru mischievously gave the little devil a flirtatious look, then rushed over, raised her longsword, and with one, two swift strikes, sent the little monster to its demise.

Although she had come to enjoy the feeling of forging iron with swords, she wanted to continue advancing the plot.

"It's easy and simple for me, but everyone should be careful. It's impossible to go on a rampage in this game. Even the mobs deal ridiculously high damage, and our protagonist's health bar is so pitiful. So you have to react to the enemy's attacks carefully and not be too greedy with your attacks."

"Dodge enemy attacks across wide areas, parry enemy attacks and then counterattack. This game requires players to have good reflexes and adaptability!"

With her exceptional gaming skills, Umaru effortlessly dispatched several minions and elite mini-bosses along the way. The intense sword fights and fluid movements, accompanied by the dwindling health of the enemies, were incredibly satisfying.

The final stealth kill was especially cool; every time it happened, the live stream chat would erupt in excitement.

Upon arriving at the first stage, where she encounters the story boss Genichiro Ashina, Umaru realizes that this guy is difficult to deal with, so she puts all her effort into facing the enemy.

She had already figured out the game's mechanics. Even dealing with regular monsters and elite bosses required a lot of her effort, not to mention bosses with story hints.

"This boss is obviously extraordinary. The monsters I fought before took a lot of effort and dealt a lot of damage, let alone this first boss. So I need to be on my guard when fighting him."

While explaining to the audience, Umaru did not back down when facing Genichiro Ashina; instead, she charged straight at him.

She wasn't too reckless. Based on the damage she had done to those monsters, Xiaomai believed that with her meager health, she would be killed if she got hit even once.

Therefore, she was spending three-tenths of her time attacking the enemy and seven-tenths of her time defending and dodging, constantly figuring out the enemy's attack patterns.

Some people in the world of anime and manga are just that terrifying when they have a talent for gaming. They are so sharp and skilled on their first try. Umaru's gaming ability is among the best.

In Razer's previous world, he could be considered a top professional gamer.

"Clang! Clang clang!!"

As the live stream viewers watched the storm of attacks from Ashina Genichiro, they were all very excited and focused. This boss battle didn't have many magic or science fiction elements; it only had simple yet effective killing moves.

Watching the back-and-forth attacks between you and me, parrying and deflecting blades, and dodging attacks, the audience felt that this was a real battle between warriors, and they loved this realistic style.

"Pfft!"

After figuring out the opponent's tactics, Umaru seized a fleeting opportunity to kill him instantly, reducing his health bar to zero.

After losing a health bar, Genichiro Ashina's attack patterns changed noticeably.

Umaru wasn't panicked; instead, she thought it was perfectly normal. After all, in the games she'd played, once a boss's health bar was reduced to a certain amount, the boss would unleash a powerful attack, transform, or change its attack method.

This was also within Umaru's expectations.

She then distanced herself slightly, and with her sharp eyes, she noticed that Genichiro Ashina had picked up the bow on his back, which immediately put her on alert.

In this realistic combat style, the bow and arrow behind the boss are definitely not just for decoration.

Under Genichiro Ashina's relentless attacks, Umaru was also slightly injured, and her health bar was close to zero, making the audience hold their breath for her.

Everyone exclaimed that this boss was simply too monstrous. Xiaomai frowned and directly controlled her wolf minions to close in, without moving away from the enemy.

Having figured out the opponent's attack pattern, Umaru immediately switched from defense to offense, attacking when necessary and skillfully dodging or parrying attacks when a 'danger' warning appeared.

What appeared to be a head-on battle was actually the result of Umaru's careful maneuvering, given the significant disparity in strength between the two sides.

Finally, with only a sliver of health left, Umaru seized the opportunity and killed Genichiro Ashina with a stealth attack.

"Hmph, the enemy is ashamed, I'll strip him naked! (The enemy general has already been killed by me!)"

As the smug little Umaru whispered, the live stream chat exploded with a wave of "hohohohohohohohohoho".

However, after the following animated scene, Umaru was completely taken aback, and her smug expression froze.

"You... guy..."

In the game scene, Genichiro Ashina is seen clutching his chest and kneeling on one knee, looking like a defeated general.

The wolf, the protagonist, silently faced the enemy with his knife, but suddenly turned his head and noticed something unusual.

call out!

As the scene shifted, a boomerang shot towards them, but the wolf simply sidestepped and deflected the sneak attack with a slash.

But when you look at Genichiro Ashina, who is the enemy, he is already in an attacking stance.

puff!

Under the moonlight, a blood-stained arm, splattered with blood, shot straight into the sky.

The wolf, unable to react in time, had one of its hands severed by a sneak attack from its opponent.

The protagonist didn't cry out in pain, but only whimpered and clutched his wound, watching with resentment as Genichiro Ashina finally collapsed helplessly to the ground.

This sudden plot twist caught Umaru and the audience completely off guard. With Umaru's eyes blazing with anger and her face contorted in pain, Genichiro Ashina, after sheathing his sword, turned around with an air of nonchalance and calmly said:

"Ninja, don't call me despicable."

"I will take the divine child with me."

A strange sense of malice enveloped the Sekiro players. Those who hadn't finished the game only felt that Genichiro Ashina was very strong, but Umaru, as a pro player who had finished the game, had a lot of "MMP" (a vulgar expression) in her heart that she and the audience wanted to say. Umaru even wanted to swear.

Damn it, you defeated me by sneak attack, and you still dare to act tough?!
