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

"It's so dangerous."

Before that, at the last moment when Claudia's lightning was about to fall on Lin Yinxi's head, he closed his eyes reflexively.

If Arachnara hadn't wanted to use the spider mouth in her lower body to devour him and create another barrier between them, he would have been struck by lightning and turned into a charred corpse.

Because he was unsure. Although he had calculated everything beforehand, he had just hurriedly calculated it in his mind, unsure if there would be any problems, so he naturally closed his eyes and reacted like that.

This was a method he came up with on the spot after seeing the positions of Claudia, Liz, and Arachnella. Time was very tight, and there was no time to verify it.

"Is this the power of 'Thunderstorm'?"

Lin Yinxi looked around. The spider monsters that filled the area had been electrocuted to death without exception, falling helplessly to the ground. The surviving spider monsters were also unable to approach due to the aftereffects of the lightning strike.

The ability Claudia used just now was called "Thunderstorm".

This move is performed by pointing the greatsword straight to the sky, briefly charging up power, and then suddenly smashing it down. Then, a circular lightning shock wave erupts with itself as the center, radiating to a large area around it and scattering a large amount of lightning.

As we can see from his previous words to Claudia, "Use all your strength," this move's range and damage change depending on how long it's charged. If you charge it all the way to the end, it can, as it does now, cover the entire boss room.

Of course, this isn't Claudia's ability in the original game, but was added in the Darkness mod. It's a very powerful ability, and if you don't interrupt it when facing Claudia in the Darkness mod, you'll have nowhere to escape.

As for why this trick was not used earlier, it is because it cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

Liz and Erica each had their own way to survive, but Lin Yinxi couldn't. If he used that powerful attack, he would also be sucked in and die immediately.

This was also the reason why Lin Yinxi had previously induced Arachnella to use the Grab Mode on him. He needed Arachnella to protect him from the shockwaves and lightning attacks.

"Mr. Lin Yinxi!"

Before she knew it, Erica came to Lin Yinxi, picked him up, and instantly distanced herself from the Spider Queen.

The two sat at a distance, and Lin Yinxi turned around to check on Erica. Erica buried her body in Lin Yinxi's arms. She looked a little breathless, and there were countless small wounds all over her body, but she didn't look serious.

As a price for not getting hurt, her silver armor was completely destroyed. Her helmet was torn off and thrown somewhere unknown. Her upper body was barely covered with shoulder armor, covering up her vaguely visible beauty. Her lower body was only covered below the knees, revealing her white thighs.

What he is wearing now can't even be called armor.

"Erica, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"That's what I should be asking you!!"

Erica suddenly raised her head from his arms, grabbed his shoulders, and put her face very close to him.

Her eyes, filled with various complex emotions, and her cheeks, slightly flushed after surviving the disaster, were directly displayed in front of Lin Yinxi.

There is intense emotion in the warm breath.

"Are you really crazy? Who told you to be so reckless?"

"It's okay, it's okay. We both survived, isn't that all that matters? Don't be so angry. Now focus on your wounds and don't collapse all of a sudden again."

"That's not important right now!"

"If this isn't important, then what is?"

"..."

After hearing his rebuttal, Erica seemed to fall silent all of a sudden, unable to speak.

The result was this. No matter what crazy plans they implemented or what ridiculous things they did, Arachnara was eliminated and both of them saved their lives.

Nothing could be more important than this.

"...I've said this before, Mr. Lin Yinxi. For knights like us, dying in the process of subduing monsters is something that can happen at any time. If that is necessary, I am willing to sacrifice myself. I am ready to sacrifice myself."

She herself seemed to have nothing to say, but just lowered her head, not looking directly at him, and her voice was slightly gentle.

"I can not do it."

"what?"

Erica looked up, a blank look on her face for a moment.

"Erica, I don't know about you, but I can't do this."

Lin Yinxi released the shoulder that Erica was holding, pushed her body back a little, and stood up from where he was.

Sacrifice is ridiculous.

It's not an insurmountable situation, but I have to sacrifice a Knight Commander of the Silver Dawn. Do you think I'll just sit there and do nothing?!

Moreover, even if I encounter such a crisis situation, I will definitely think of a solution.

'They deserve to be saved no matter what.'

As long as the player chooses not to betray, the Knights of the Silver Dawn will never betray the protagonist. In Dark Light 4, there is no more solid allies than these four.

This means that he can trust them unconditionally under any circumstances. How could he let such an ally die?

"...Mr. Yinxi, what is this——"

"Erica! Lin Yinxi! Are you all right?"

Erica looked confused, as if she wanted to ask something, but was quickly drowned out by Liz's loud voice. She hurriedly stopped what she was about to say and thought absentmindedly to herself.

Liz was running towards them very eagerly and stopped in front of them.

"Of course it's okay. Look, I'm fine, right? I kept my promise this time!"

Lin Yinxi deliberately opened his arms and smiled exaggeratedly, while Liz looked at Lin Yinxi quietly. Although he couldn't see her expression because of the helmet, he knew that Liz's expression was definitely not good.

"Okay, I'll talk to you about this later. How about you, Erica? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"What? Huh? Um, well, I'm fine too, sis. I'm not hurt at all."

It was not until Liz asked Erica if she was okay that Erica hurriedly woke up and nodded repeatedly.

...Why is this kid talking nonsense again?

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Not far away from where the three people were talking, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came. It was a very familiar sound.

At this moment, screams were emanating from Arachnella's mouth. Unbeknownst to the three, Claudia, who had approached Arachnella, had already begun brutally finishing off the creature with her greatsword.

Every time the greatsword swung, limbs were severed, abdomens torn, and shells shattered. Liz and Erica, seeing this, seemed to wake up and picked up their weapons again.

"Eh? I almost forgot there's still this left to deal with."

"I'll take care of it right away. Lin Yinxi, just stay by my side and don't try to do anything else."

As the thunderstorm subsided, the spider monsters rushed towards the group again, but before they could do anything, they were swept away by Liz and Erica's attacks.

Erica, in particular, ignited a huge flame on her long sword as if to vent her anger. The spider monsters that touched the flames turned to ashes and died without even a sound.

Before long, the number of living creatures in the aboveground hive was reduced to five.

“Ahhh, ahhh…”

At this point, most of Arachnaira's body had been torn apart, leaving only her upper body, which was oozing green fluid and leaving a disgusting trail on the ground. She was crying and trying to crawl away.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Ahhh!"

Claudia plunged the giant sword into her lower abdomen, and Arachnella desperately scratched the ground with her messy fingers. Of course, this was a pointless act.

"Huh, it's barely over."

Claudia breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the poison-stained armor. Fortunately, the green liquid did not melt the armor.

Erica didn't even have any armor to take off, and the few remaining parts had already fallen off.

Now only Liz's armor remains in its original form, but there are more green areas on the armor than silver, so there is no difference and there is no point in repairing it.

With a click, Liz also untied her armor and took off the poisonous equipment.

A white vest soaked with sweat and shark shorts the same color as her hair were exposed.

"So, Lin Yinxi."

Claudia lifted the chest area of ​​her white tank top to cool down and blew air into it as she walked over to Lin Yinxi. He lowered his head, trying to listen to what she was about to say, then raised it again as if nothing had happened, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

"The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't have time to ask."

Perhaps because she finally had some free time, Claudia's sly smile flickered across her face again, as if she wanted to tease him again.

"No way, no way, this can't be one of someone's secrets, right? Otherwise, how would they know I have a move called Thunderstorm?"

"Oh, this one?"

I didn't know how to answer for a moment, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was too sad to say that I had a secret and had to keep it secret from my comrades who trusted me after we had just experienced a battle of mutual trust.

Anyway, he couldn't say such heartless words. Instead, he should praise her for being able to trust him unconditionally.

"I heard it from Liz."

"Really? Wow, she even told you that?"

As for Liz? Although Claudia reacted enthusiastically, after seeing Lin Yinxi's gaze, Liz seemed to understand what was going on instantly. She quietly shut her mouth and chose to acquiesce.

It seems like I owe Liz again.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… wuwu.”

The greatsword was stuck in the abdomen of the spider queen named Arachnella. At this moment, she was in an extremely helpless state. She just shed tears and sobbed repeatedly that she was in pain.

If someone who didn't know the inside story saw this, they might feel pity and regret for her. Because the scene now was a scene of a peerless beauty who was fatally injured, naked, with a big sword stuck in her abdomen, crying and saying it hurts.

But everyone present knew that she was a monster, and Erica had barely survived the death crisis caused by this guy, so it was simply a fantasy to expect them to feel pity.

Not to mention, it's a monster that has already killed hundreds of people, as evidenced by the dried corpses scattered throughout the boss room.

This was just a ploy by the monster to gain sympathy in some way.

"Let them handle the aftermath."

After confirming that the Knight Commanders had raised their weapons and approached Arachnara, Lin Yinxi turned around alone and walked towards the depths of the boss room in the insect nest on the ground.

This place will be blocked by spider webs during the boss battle, but you can enter after defeating the Spider Queen.

Liz, Erica, and Claudia didn't react when they saw Lin Yinxi acting alone. They probably thought that if he was going to do something stupid again, they would just wait for him when he came back.

Lin Yinxi walked into the cave full of corpses. The cave was filled with the bodies of people who had died after having their blood sucked dry by Arachnara.

"Uh."

He was warmly welcomed as soon as he entered the door. Lin Yinxi looked at the dried and twisted human corpse coming towards him and his face turned bitter.

The corpse's face was dry, but the expression of pain was still vivid.

—Aa ...

"Uh, that scared me."

I continued to move forward, and when I was halfway there, I suddenly heard a shrill scream from behind, and I shrank my neck in fear.

This was Arachnara's desperate wail before his death. It seemed the crusade was over.

Lin Yinxi walked straight ahead, past the place where the wall covered with spider webs should have blocked his way. Finally, he reached the deepest dead end and saw what he wanted.

"found it."

079. Accidents

Lin Yinxi looked at the dried-up, twisted corpse in front of him. He had a ring on his right index finger.

The overall color is closer to silver-gray, with intricate patterns engraved on it. Although the body has been buried here for who knows how long, the ring has not lost its original color at all.

This was the item needed to advance the next stage of the main storyline. This was also why he had been emphasizing the need to defeat Arachnara.

Lin Yinxi pinched the skinny, twisted fingers of the corpse, trying to ignore the horrible feeling in them. "If I take this away, I won't have to come back to this place again."

"It's not convenient to take the whole body away."

Even in the game, if the player presses the interact button here, the character will only take off the ring and leave the corpse alone.

Furthermore, the body was firmly fixed to the wall by spiderwebs. He couldn't pull it off with his own strength. The Knights Generals might be able to do it, but the body would likely be torn to pieces in the process.
