How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

'Very special.'

This was the thought that simultaneously crossed Alice and Erica's minds. As the name suggests, he could only be described as a special guy.

The newcomer who had just joined the Knights Templar not long ago, single-handedly subdued a monster that even the Knights Templar had difficulty defeating. Not only that, he also wiped out nearly a hundred monsters in just a few days.

As a newcomer to the Knights, he is decisive in his actions and always achieves the best results.

As a newcomer who had just joined the Knights, his strength was comparable to the knights who had received rigorous training since childhood, and he was even worried about them.

Originally, this was simply impossible. Who was supposed to care about whom? He himself was even unable to fully utilize his original abilities due to the witch's curse.

It's someone else who should be worried about him.

'I feel very strange.'

But the amazing thing is that for some reason I feel itchy inside when being worried about by newcomers.

They had always lived lives far removed from those things. As knights, they fought at the forefront before anyone else, and that was natural, with death always by their side.

The same was true for the Emperor. She herself was known as the strongest being in the Empire, so it was impossible for her to care about a mere knight.

Many members have fallen victim to monsters. However, no one worries about dying, although they mourn and fear death.

The fear of death is natural, but death is also natural. Therefore, there's no reason to worry, and no reason to accept it. If they die, their life ends there. This is their only thought so far.

"Before becoming a knight, you are first a human being..."

But this man was different.

Things that are taken for granted are not taken for granted. This is the first time such a thing has happened.

It wasn't even a false gesture to hide his true thoughts; his eyes revealed his sincerity. He was truly worried about the knight leaders who were even more powerful than himself.

"Who's worried about who?" Perhaps you could ask this question in a nonsensical way. Or perhaps you could say, "Let's talk about this kind of thing after you become stronger!" Or you could just treat it as a lighthearted joke and laugh it off.

But no one did so, and no one wanted to say so.

do not know why,

they,

Feeling pretty good~

065. Team Battle! (3.1k)

"...It's even bigger than I imagined."

Liz muttered upon seeing the rock centipede. Erica and Alice standing beside her had the same reaction.

This is a fact. If the body of the rock centipede is stretched out in a straight line, its height should be higher than an ordinary castle.

Even the size of the torso is the size after it is cut off. The complete form should have the height of 2 to 3 floors of a building added to the lower half of the torso.

If we look at it purely from the perspective of size, it is not an exaggeration to call it the "final boss".

The rock centipede curled up into a ball, motionless as if dead. Beside it was a seemingly insignificant runestone.

The height of the stone tablet is almost as high as a person, so it is definitely not a small stone tablet. However, there is a rock centipede hovering next to it, making it look particularly small.

A faint green light emanated from the stone tablet.

"Besides what I've said before, is there anything else I should pay special attention to?"

"No, that's all I said."

After making an excuse, Lin Yinxi explained the rock centipede's attack pattern to the three of them. They all listened silently, and no one even asked how he knew it.

In fact, the boss only has a few attack patterns, so once you enter the 4th stage, the boss strategy will be much easier.

In the boss's first to third stages, the damage caused by physical attacks, magic attacks, and holy attacks to the boss is very low, which forces players to use terrain killing.

This requirement doesn't noticeably change even in dark mod mode.

The reason is unclear. Maybe it's the last bit of conscience of the guy who made the dark mod...

Even though the boss's behavior in stages 1-3 has not been adjusted, players have already complained about it being inhumane.

"Try to hit it in the head, right? That'll make it easier to immobilize it."

"Yes, if you hit it on the head a few times, it shouldn't be able to resist."

The Rock Centipede's 4th stage is the only one that deals full damage and stuns it.

At this time, if its head is attacked a few times, its body will become stiff. If it is hit again in this state, it will become stiff continuously, and this will repeat indefinitely until death.

Although it was very difficult to put it into a state of stiffness the first time.

Because its body is too large for weapons to touch, in order to hit its head, it is necessary to induce it into a specific attack mode. If the time interval between attacks is too long, the stiffness value will be reset, so you must also pay attention to the time.

Of course, this isn't a big risk. The only thing to be careful about is not to focus on attacking the head and forget about the boss's other attack patterns, which could lead to him being killed in one hit.

"Given their strength, there's no need to worry."

The Rock Centipede is a boss that sprints at full speed, but its speed is slower than the player's running speed.

No matter how it attacks, it is almost impossible for the Knight Commanders who have listened to his instructions and are familiar with the attack patterns to be hit by it.

"Got it, Liz, Erica, get ready. Even though he's an easy guy to deal with, don't let your guard down. Don't take it lightly."

The three silver-armored knights strode forward, while Lin Yinxi sat on a rock behind them. While the knight leaders were fighting, he had one more thing to confirm.

At this moment, their weapons were each imbued with elemental power: wind flowed from their longswords, frost swirled within their twin daggers, and flames twisted within their longknives.

The rock centipede, curled up and motionless, as if dead, seemed to sense something unusual and woke up. Pieces of rock fell from its cracked head.

Since Lin Yinxi was sitting outside the boss area in the game at this time, he appeared to be very relaxed and was only focused on the boss's actions.

He planned to decide on future strategic changes in dealing with other bosses based on the boss's behavior patterns when facing the attacks of the Knights.

In the battle area, Liz and Erica stood on either side of Alice, Liz on the left and Erica on the right.

The first to act was Liz. With her agile figure, she turned sharply to the left and quickly approached the edge of the rock centipede. The rock centipede also turned its sight following her figure.

It got into position, as if intending to use a direct impact, but suddenly, a burst of flames struck it directly on the head, causing it to turn its head around.

It was Erica, her blade ablaze with flames.

The rock centipede wanted to lean over and hit Liz, but failed. It then raised its head high, pulled off a stalactite from the top of the rock wall, and aimed at Erica.

"As expected, hatred attracts."

After confirming this, Lin Yinxi made up his mind that if he needed to personally defeat the boss in the future, he must act alone.

Because the boss's attack pattern has changed.

The Rock Centipede is a boss that doesn't have feints. If Liz were alone, he would definitely continue to attack her.

But after being hit by Erica's flames, hatred bounced towards Erica. This guy directly canceled the leaning forward to hit her and chose to pull out the stalactite from the top of the rock wall.

The Rock Centipede's movements are inherently slow, and it's a gigantic boss, so the change in its attack pattern is very noticeable. If the boss were larger than a human, it might be difficult to detect.

If you're going to fight a boss with them in the future, and you've just confirmed the boss's attack pattern and are trying to counter it, the aggro will suddenly rebound somewhere else, causing the boss to perform a completely different action. If you're unlucky and the new attack pattern is also an area attack, you're definitely dead.

"Can't take that risk."

While he was thinking this, the battle among the Knights Generals continued.

Erica easily cut the stalactite thrown by the rock centipede in half, and the cut and melted stalactite rolled weakly on the ground.

A mist formed by high temperature melting also rose from the sword, distorting the surrounding scenery.

Seizing this opportunity, Liz immediately launched an attack, lunging forward. Her daggers slashed through the rock centipede's left side, instantly severing over a dozen of its legs. The severed limbs froze briefly before shattering into icy shards in mid-air.

As soon as the rock centipede turned its head, flames shot out from the other side, constantly attracting hatred. Perhaps because they were the leaders of the Knights who had worked closely together for a long time, they cooperated very well.

On the left side of the rock centipede's body, Liz kept waving frost to cut off its legs. On the right side, Erica swung a slash mixed with fire. The rock centipede continued to struggle under the attack of the two.

On the other side, Alice still stood there quietly, sheathing her sword.

She stepped forward with her left foot, shifting her center of gravity forward and bringing the scabbard in her left hand to her right ribs. She twisted her right arm, turning her wrist outward, and gripped the hilt.

A whoosh—a violent wind blew around them. A noticeable force of wind was drawn into Alice's scabbard, a whirlwind entwining the sword, drawing in the surrounding wind elements.

As the wind twisted more violently, and the storm gathered and began to twist, Alice finished charging.

She lifted her right foot, twisted her body half a circle clockwise, and took a step forward with her right foot in front of her left foot.

At the same time, the long sword was unsheathed——

Cut!

In an instant, the wind pressure wrapped around the sword exploded like a storm.

The strong wind emitted light and burst forward in the form of a perfect straight line slash, as if forming a thin wall of wind in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the rock centipede.

Bang! A heavy cracking sound was heard.

The rock centipede, facing the fierce wind, was instantly split in half. The cut section was incredibly smooth, as if it had been polished with sandpaper.

Finally, a stream of wind pressure spread along the path of the Wind Wall. The wind pressure sucked in the surrounding debris and exploded near the split rock centipede, breaking it into various fragments and blowing them in all directions.

"Tsk, it's actually this trick."

The move Alice just used is one of Alice's boss fight routines. If you get hit, you will die in the original game, not to mention in the Darkness mod.

The rock centipede, its body split a third apart, was already extremely weak. But no one approached too closely. Only Erica, still slashing with flames from a distance, closed the distance.

Although its body had shrunk considerably, the remaining length was still considerable. It seemed that this was Erica's target.

The long sword she held was engulfed in flames, the blade almost entirely transformed into flames. As she took a step, flames rose from where she left her footprints.

Erica unknowingly approached the rock centipede. She held the knife in both hands, the tip pointing to the left, and jumped up, twisting her body.

Her entire body spun clockwise, and flames formed a whirlwind along her path.

The swirling flames circled, instantly melting the rock centipede's lower exoskeleton. Just like that, on the remaining one-third of the rock centipede's torso, another section of its joints was burned to ash.

The rotation did not stop there. Her body rose up with the blazing flames and spun clockwise again. This time, the body of the rock centipede was completely melted into a ball.

Before her body fell, Erica's toes were on fire. In this state, she took off into the air again, spun her body one last time, and delivered a final blow.

The blade brushed across the rock centipede's head, and the area where the rock centipede came into contact with the blade was almost evaporated, leaving a deep scar on its head.

“This is also difficult to block…”

This is one of Erica's boss attacks. Because the flames are so hot, they can't be deflected by weapons, so you can only use a shield with high fire resistance to counter them.

Before the tattered rock centipede landed on the ground, blue frost spread to the top of the rock wall. It was Liz.

She combined the two daggers into one, and a long sword made of frost appeared in her hand. As the sword edge appeared, the air around her seemed to be completely solidified, emitting a chill.

Aiming the weapon at the rock centipede's head, Liz's weapon had unknowingly grown to the length of her own height.

Click——!

A blow from the sky!

The frost-covered silver armor pierced the rock centipede's head, pinning it to the ground. On the other side, its headless torso fell powerlessly to the ground.

So far,

Rock Centipede Subjugation Battle,

Completed!

066. Succubus Brand × Rune Brand √

"As expected of them."

Lin Yinxi looked at the Knights with relief. The Rock Centipede died miserably without even being able to launch a decent attack.

At this time, the fragments of the rock centipede's head were wrapped in frost and rolled weakly on the ground.

Leaving the Knights to handle the fourth stage of the Rock Centipede boss was absolutely the right decision. They handled it even faster than I expected.
