_1 Chapter 1085: Chapter 998: Not drawing the sword, directly triggering the ending?
I’m guarding against you!
_1 Super Tomato was in shock.
“I sprinted here as soon as I got the letter, without a moment’s delay!
Weren’t we supposed to meet at the city gate?”
“How did you guys finish the fight and died before I even got here!?!”
“Was it even ten minutes in between?!”
“What the hell is going on?!”
He couldn’t accept it!
Seeing Super Tomato’s somewhat collapsing manner, Lincoln laughed out loud without guilt.
After Super Tomato had a meltdown for a while, he reluctantly accepted his sister was probably gone and refocused on the game.

The situation was already clear:
His sister sent him a letter before entering Luoyang City, but the carrier pigeon was too slow and couldn’t fly from Luoyang to Chang’an in a few minutes like an airship.
By the time he got the letter, it was already too late.
However, his sister’s last effort seemed to have worked, so the miasma that enveloped Luoyang did not continue to spread around.
But, there were still a lot of questions:
For example, why did this sword appear here?
Who is the “we” that his sister mentioned?
And how was the miasma cleared after the sword was taken?
…
However, these can be considered later.
There’s only one thing to do right now.
[Leave]?
Or [Draw Sword]?
There was no need to think about it at all!
Super Tomato gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and then-
He drew the sword!!
The treasure sword, with its cold light, was pulled out inch by inch from the chest of the statue until it completely detached from the statue and was held in Super Tomato’s hand!
——
[Dragon Abyss]
[Immortal Sword]
[Equipment requirement not met]
(The cherished sword of the Sword Immortal Li Taibai, it harbors the Silver Fire, which can cut down the undead!)
——
Super Tomato held the hilt of the sword with both hands, lifting the heavy Dragon Abyss Sword up to his eyes.
He wanted to admire the Sword Immortal’s cherished sword, but suddenly heard a slight vibration.
Soon, the vibration became obvious, and the ground beneath his feet began to shake.
Super Tomato lifted his head and immediately found the source of the vibration-
The giant warrior statue in front of him.
The “shell” that looked like stone was crumbling into fine rubble, falling down in pieces.
A giant was waking from the stone!
Instinctively, Super Tomato retreated repeatedly.
– Who wouldn’t be taken aback by a three-meter-tall, muscular man who suddenly came to life, armed with an enormous battleaxe!?!
As Super Tomato was worrying about how to wield the unwieldy Dragon Abyss Sword, the Immortal Sword seemed to be aware of his thoughts.
It turned into a sword light and cut his right wrist.
Super Tomato lifted his right hand and saw a silver Dragon Abyss Sword Mark on the back of his hand.
With no extra weight, he quickly drew his Village Sword and picked up the [1 Defense Pot Lid], which he despised before, from his back and hung it on his left arm.
Even this negligible sense of security was very much needed!
As he finished preparing, the giant warrior in front of him completely came to life.
Three black and red characters appeared on his shoulder-
[Fred]!
The impact brought by these three characters to Super Tomato was no less than the news of his sister’s sudden death!
Fred?
Wasn’t he the one who raised the banner of rebellion against Anloshan during the An-Shi Rebellion, slicing through many rebels of Anloshan’s faction, captured by Anloshan’s furious forces sent to attack him, and, after being captive in Luoyang City, still called out Anloshan’s crimes to his face and was brutally murdered?
He…
Super Tomato stared at the super muscular man in front of him, shocked, “Has your body…
always been this exaggerated?”
Fred, the BOSS version, answered his question with a ferocious downward cut!
Super Tomato abruptly dodged to the right, avoiding the attack.
But the BOSS didn’t pause and launched another horizontal cut!
Super Tomato just got up, and this axe cut him at his waist!
According to normal physics, this cut alone was enough to slice him in half.
Fortunately, this game doesn’t follow normal physics, so he just got flown out by an axe and landed heavily on the ground.
His health bar instantly halved!
Super Tomato quickly got up, and the BOSS jumped up and swung down his third axe!
Cutting Mt.
Hua with Strength!
A red [Danger] warning appeared above Super Tomato’s head.
He felt the hair on his body stand on end, and a strong sense of danger swept through his whole body!
This made him instinctively raise his Pot Lid Shield to defend, but the moment it was raised, he regretted it–
The BOSS’s giant axe fell from the sky, smashing his shield into pieces and, as if it met no resistance, cut down his neck!
“Puff!”
Blood splashed.
Soul left the body.
Super Tomato’s consciousness watched his body fall heavily onto the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The world turned a shade of ash white.
And in this ash-white world, a giant blood-red character nearly blocked the entire vision of Super Tomato –
[Death]!
“What…
just happened?”
Super Tomato let out a faint groan.
Before he could react, the BOSS had chopped him dead with three swift swipes of the axe.
[Restart Game]/[End Game]
Of course, [Restart Game].
Super Tomato stood before Fred’s statue once again, taking a moment to mentally prepare.
Only after silently visualizing the upcoming battle in his head did he pull out the [Dragon Abyss Sword] again.
— The second time, there was no vision, of course.
After drawing the sword, instead of standing there waiting for the BOSS to emerge from the statue, he ran behind the BOSS and began attacking immediately after drawing his sword!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
One slash followed by another.
Just as he had predicted: during the “cutscene of the BOSS transforming”, the BOSS indeed wouldn’t strike back!
Super Tomato was very excited, rushing to output as much damage as he could.
But he forgot one thing — greed comes at a price!
After completing his transformation, the BOSS turned and launched a sweeping, horizontal attack.
The unprepared Super Tomato was immediately sent flying!
Due to his injuries, his body stiffened and he failed to mitigate the impact.
He was struck hard in the chest by a second axe from the advancing BOSS!
45 seconds later, the world once again became ash white.
The blood-red character [Dead] appeared in his vision once more.
“…”
Super Tomato fell silent.
But it was not a big deal.
The third time, he learned from his mistakes.
He didn’t fall into a greed-fueled sword rampage.
After three slashes, he hurriedly distanced himself and successfully dodged the BOSS’s first axe.
He managed to dodge the second axe as it came down.
The third axe, the BOSS leaped high into the air, once again executing his powerful overhead chop!
A [Danger] marker popped up over Super Tomato’s head, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
This time he had gained some experience, so he didn’t put away his shield and hastily rolled to the left, trying to dodge.
He managed to dodge it.
But not entirely.
— His leg was hit by an axe.
“It’s okay!” Super Tomato yelled in his heart, “Two hits will kill, but one won’t!”
The leg was not vital, and it only deducted a third of his health.
His first thought was to distance himself and drink some health replenishment.
But the ground around the axe’s blade suddenly began to vibrate vigorously as the colossal axe struck the ground!
Unable to react in time, Super Tomato was knocked to the ground.
And that decided the outcome of the battle —
30 seconds later, he saw that giant, blood-red character once again —
[Dead]!
Super Tomato had gained another piece of vital information: When the BOSS jumps and chops downwards, the ground shakes, which calls for a timely retreat.
The first time he was killed, the axe hadn’t even hit the ground before he was already chopped to death, so naturally, he didn’t notice this detail.
He resurrected once again and went in for the fourth round.
…
…
While Super Tomato and Fred were entangled in fierce combat, Yi’s battle hadn’t started yet.
He was still travelling.
It’s not that his airship was slower than Super Tomato’s – in fact, this was his second time flying towards Luoyang.
When he flew over for the first time, his speed was actually comparable to Super Tomato’s.
But after watching the vision, he suddenly got an idea —
“What if I don’t draw the sword, abandon the city entrance, what will happen?
Will it trigger the game’s ending directly?”
No sooner had he thought of it than he acted on it.
Yi turned around and left, retracing his steps and quickly leaving the range of the miasma.
And then, the game’s ending cutscene really did trigger!
Yi was a little excited.
He thought he would see the magic fog spreading, devouring all the common people, leading the world into doom.
Or perhaps, Sword Immortal Li Taibai would reappear, slicing through the magic fog to save the world, something like that.
But no.
Absolutely nothing.
Cloud Dream absurdly played an animation of him getting on the airship and flying back to Chang’an.
By the time the animation finished, he was already standing atop the city walls of Chang’an.
Besides that, there was nothing.
No intelligence data, no side quests, no follow-ups, and no achievements.
Absolutely nothing!
It just ended abruptly.
Standing atop the city wall, Yi was completely dumbfounded.
