A light sound was heard, and the monster horse lost its balance and fell to the ground. The headless knight riding on it fell even more miserably.
Parry.
An advanced parry that can only be used against enemies whose combat fatigue value is full. This is also the counterattack technique he prepared as a last resort when testing against Liz in the team.
When the player attacks an enemy that is off balance due to a parry, the player can deal massive damage to the target, depending on the weapon type.
This value includes 50% of the target's maximum health plus the damage of the weapon held, and ignores all immunity and resistance of the enemy. If you add the damage caused before to accumulate the boss's battle fatigue value, this move is simply a sure kill.
Lin Yinxi approached the monster horse, which knelt on the ground, panting.
This is something that many players get wrong the first time, but the main body of this guy is not the headless horseman above.
The blood sword's special ability was about to be deactivated. Taking advantage of the last moment, he aimed at the monster's head and stabbed it with all his strength. The monster dropped its head without even a scream.
With the death of the monster horse, the headless knight who struggled to stand up from the ground also slowly disappeared from the world as if he had evaporated from the earth, leaving only the spear in his hand rolling on the ground.
After the Dullahan disappeared, the monster horse's extremely heavy gray body collapsed to the ground. With a loud bang, dust flew up, and it never stood up again. There was no sound.
"it's over!"
At this point, the battle against the Headless Horseman is completed!
025.Hidden copy
"Ah... How on earth do I even bounce something like that?"
After defeating the Headless Horseman, Lin Yinxi laboriously dragged the lance used by the Headless Horseman to the side of the horse he had been riding, intending to use this huge lance and the severed horse head as evidence of the victory.
It was truly amazing that such a ferocious weapon, when swung with all his strength while charging on horseback, his body was only pushed back slightly by the impact and then bounced off without any problem.
If it were in the real world, the moment a person was hit by a spear, they would be thrown into the air along with the weapon.
On the other side, the horse stood quietly where the reins had been tied, waiting for him. After stroking its mane several times, Lin Yinxi tied the lance to the side of the saddle and a severed horse head to the other side.
Although the weight of both was something he had to struggle to lift, it seemed insignificant to the horse.
"Now, one thing is done."
Lin Yinxi jumped onto the horse and grabbed the reins.
Although the Headless Horseman has been defeated, it is not yet time to return to the Knights. There is still work to be done before that.
Find something to lure that lord.
Lin Yinxi rode his horse towards a nearby mountain. This time, it took nearly half a day just to move.
When we set out, the sun was still high above our heads, and when we arrived at our destination, the sun had already set. The human figure and the vermilion sunset were slowly sinking into the horizon.
He tied his horse to a nearby tree and walked towards a huge rock, behind which was the entrance to the dungeon he was looking for.
If you follow the game plot, you will find this hidden copy when the plot enters the middle and late stages.
If the player does not advance the main storyline and only does side quests, then this copy will be buried underground forever.
Of course, for Lin Yinxi, the way to get here is very simple.
He pulled out a round stone from his pocket, which was the item dropped by the Headless Horseman.
As the key to open the entrance to the underground dungeon, a wild horse accidentally swallowed it while eating grass and was eroded by its power, eventually giving birth to the Headless Horseman.
Lin Yinxi took it, walked behind the rock, and parted the dense grass around it.
In the game, players had to burn the place with fire magic to reveal the secret, but now they can simply push away the weeds without setting fire.
When all the weeds were cleared away, something was revealed under the soil. It was a stone slab with a hole in the middle and complex text engraved on both sides.
The words written on the stone tablets on both sides are warnings. To summarize: "If you can understand this, do not break the demon's seal."
Although it's of no use.
Because for adventurers who can come to this place on the edge of the empire to explore, they will not retreat after seeing such a warning.
Lin Yinxi put the item dropped by the Headless Knight into the round hole in the stone slab. The two fit perfectly without leaving any gap. Then the stone slab emitted a pale white light.
He stepped back a little and studied the rock.
The rocks shook, making rumbling sounds, and cracks appeared on the surface.
Starting from the bottom, the crack grew larger and larger, and soon spread to the entire rock.
Not long after, with a "crash" sound, the rocks collapsed, and broken rocks rolled down the mountainside, raising dust nearby.
"finally..."
Lin Yinxi waved his arms to disperse the dust.
Where the rocks had collapsed, he could see an underground entrance large enough for one person to enter, and there was what he was looking for.
After confirming that there were no monsters nearby, he returned to his horse and took out a torch from the saddle.
In the game, the player would just put it in the quick-use slot and then take it out by turning the mouse wheel, and it would ignite. But of course, that's not possible now, so he has to light it himself.
This was his first time using flint and steel, so after some fussing he finally managed to light the fire.
"We have air conditioners, fans, and lights, but why no lighters?"
Is it because this is a world where fire magic exists?
He stood in front of the entrance to the underground dungeon, holding a torch in his left hand and a drawn blood sword in his right hand. He also had a bag full of food tied around his waist in case of emergency.
In the game, this was a fairly large hidden dungeon, but now it may have become an even larger place. Just like when we were fighting the Headless Horseman boss before, the travel time was significantly increased.
Lin Yinxi walked in slowly, and the unique musty smell of ancient ruins hit his nose.
"The difference between here and in the game is... it looks like nothing has changed, huh?"
There might be differences on the inside, but on the outside it looked just like the game. He continued down the aisle.
A long time ago, this was where the bishops and paladins of the Holy Kingdom fought bloody battles with demons. Ultimately, they failed to subdue the demons, so they chose to settle for the next best thing, sacrificing their lives to seal the cave.
This is why there is a warning not to break the seal. If a demon too powerful even the Holy Kingdom can't subdue is released into the human world again, who knows what kind of disaster will result.
However, the Holy Kingdom actually has some misunderstandings about the terror of the sealed demons. That is, the demons sealed here, while blocking the attacks of priests and paladins, also suffered great damage.
His flesh and blood were shattered and scattered all over the underground dungeon. His body was purified by divine power. After a struggle, although he successfully forced back the priest and paladin, the demon itself was also seriously injured.
Most of the power was dispersed to the point where it could not be restored naturally, so even if a wild horse swallowed the key to the seal, it has not been able to break the seal to this day.
Therefore, in order to avoid disappearing from the world and returning to hell, it can only live in the book, waiting for the day when someone comes in and unlocks the seal.
Of course, if the people of the Holy Kingdom knew this, they would definitely choose to seal it again, no matter how much sacrifice they had to make.
"...Hmm... This part was told by the devil."
And it was said by the devil himself who was sealed here.
This is one of the game features of Dark Light 4. A mission can be completed under multiple conditions, so if you want to see the whole story, you must proceed on multiple lines at the same time.
-Woo-woo-
A groaning sound came from the other side of the underground cave. Lin Yinxi clenched the blood sword tightly. The real battle had just begun.
Something was coming towards them from a distance, making a "woooooooo" sound. Its flesh and blood were rotten, and it was wearing rusty armor and holding a sword with a broken tip.
This is the corpse of a paladin who once fought against demons here. The corpse is connected to the scattered pieces of demonic flesh and has become a resurrected dead.
Although the body was now rotten, the deceased posed shakily as if to show off that he was a paladin in life.
Lin Yinxi also placed the torch on the ground on his right side and held the blood sword with both hands. The dead paladin raised the sword high above his head and rushed forward, leaning forward.
Lin Yinxi rolled to the right to avoid the attack, then swung his sword sideways. The dead paladin's worn sword struck the ground with a clang. As the sound echoed through the cave, Lin Yinxi's sword severed the dead paladin's ribs.
The guy turned and attacked again, not caring if his ribs were cut. This was the annoying thing about undead monsters: even if they were attacked, they wouldn't be stunned.
Unless the body is completely blown away by a giant weapon such as a giant hammer or giant sword, the stiffness caused by ordinary weapons will not occur.
-Ping——!
"But parrying is still useful."
After several rebound attacks and defenses, Lin Yinxi saw that the guy's movements had slowed down, so he took out the small shield with his left hand again to block the swinging sword.
As its body shook slightly, Lin Yinxi nailed the blood sword into its neck and twisted it.
With a click and a tearing sound, the head was rotated 180 degrees, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The headless corpse struggled and fell, and the head without a body clicked its mouth in the distance.
Although he was curious about why combat fatigue would accumulate even on a corpse, he didn't want to delve into it right now. As long as it worked, that was enough.
Lin Yinxi picked up the torch beside him and kicked the corpse lightly with his feet, trying to see if the thing he was looking for had fallen, but there was nothing special.
"Tsk, it didn't fall off, why is your face so dark?"
026. Book of Demons
Looks like I need to hang out here for a while...
If the player is lucky, the monsters encountered for the first time will drop that thing, and then the player can directly look for the Demon Book.
More groans of the dead could be heard in the distance.
Well, it doesn’t matter. We only need to collect two copies of that thing, and we should be able to collect them all soon.
In the past, I almost broke my mouse in order to complete the achievement of collecting 100 items, but now it doesn’t matter.
-Woo woo woo——
This time, two dead men in priest robes came out, and he put the torch aside again, holding the bloody sword in both hands.
Anyway, the card drawing system has a guaranteed minimum /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~!
...
After some mowing, the collection of dropped items was quickly completed.
He killed about 30 undead priests and paladins before completing the collection. The part that took the most time was actually identifying the dropped items.
Lin Yinxi took it and headed straight for where the Demon Book was.
Contrary to my previous concerns, the size of the underground dungeon was exactly the same as in the game, so it was easy to find the way.
He ignored the occasional dead he saw along the way. Since the guaranteed payout had already been made, there was no point in fighting them.
"It looks like this is the place."
The entrance to the room where the demon was sealed was filled with sacred-looking objects, and the door was engraved with prayers densely written in the language of the Holy Kingdom.
This is a place that even the dead are unwilling to approach.
In fact, all of this is unnecessary. As long as the door is locked, the devil will definitely not be able to unlock the seal by himself unless someone breaks in again.
Lin Yinxi walked around the room where the demon was sealed, looking for collapsed piles of rubble.
Everything around the outside of the room was intact, with only one spot collapsed, so it was easy to find.
He walked to the pile of rocks and panted as he rolled the rocks in the front to the side, clearing away the debris. Soon, a small hole large enough for a person to crawl through was revealed.
He climbed right in.
The passage was short, so he quickly got his head out. Just in case, he even checked to see if there were any enemies around before standing up with peace of mind.
This place gave people a very dark and ominous feeling, making Lin Yinxi even feel that his body was a little heavier.
Of course, no matter how long he stayed here in the game, he would not suffer any debuffs, so this was just a simple psychological reaction.
He looked around. The handles of the torches fixed to the wall had long been burned out, leaving only ashes. A rectangular altar could be seen in the center of the room.
On the altar was the book he was looking for.
"found it."
This was the Demonic Book, the demonic book that inhabited the demon. It was about the width of a human finger, and the cover and inner pages were pitch black.
Lin Yinxi walked to the altar and picked up the book without hesitation. Because the power of the demon was too weak, just picking it up would not cause any harm to people.
There was a string of unrecognizable characters written on the cover of the book.
