Is it necessary?!!
(Two in One)_1 Chapter 1086: Chapter 999: Is it necessary to be so shameless?
Is it necessary?!!
(Two in One)_1 Perhaps the only good news is that all items destroyed by the miasma were returned by the development team.
All the martial arts skills that were wiped out also returned to the character panel.
But, aside from that, there’s nothing.
Yi had to board the airship and head back to Luoyang again.
By the time he once again stood in front of Fred’s statue and drew out the Dragon Abyss Sword, Super Tomato had already bowed his head in defeat five times.
The good news is: he felt like he understood the BOSS’s moves now.
This was, after all, a beginner’s BOSS, so its moves were quite simple –
It was the old triple attack.
Two axe swings, followed by a jump chop.
If you manage to dodge all of them, the BOSS will take the initiative to jump backward, create some distance between you and prepare for the next attack.

Then, another two chops and one jump.
Nothing fancy.
The only exception is if you’re too close to him, you will get a ferocious kick to the face and be sent flying.
Once Super Tomato summarized his experiences, he felt like he knew how to handle this BOSS –
Maintain the body’s balance, try to evade the first two axe swings in a small area, and use a large range movement to dodge the jump chop.
When the BOSS backs off to recuperate, catch up with it, attack with a sword from the side or the back, and retreat immediately.
Then, just repeat the initial steps.
That’s it, isn’t it?
Just keep cycling through it.
That’s how it should be.
The only problem was: he could always understand it in his brain, but couldn’t do it with his body.
Three simple moves, yet he couldn’t dodge them no matter how he tried!
——Even if he dodges a round, he won’t be able to dodge the second, third…
After Super Tomato experienced continuous deaths, he realised how long weaponry can overpower short weaponry!
Without the help of any skills, there’s always a risk of misjudging the BOSS’s attack range and chopping trajectory.
And the cost of such an error, is often instant death!
After all, getting hit makes you flinch, and with the current health bar, it only takes two hits to die.
The time window for evading is just too small.
When Super Tomato was resurrected once more, something finally changed –
A line of words appeared beneath his feet:
[Shield Counter, friend, Shield Counter]
Seeing these words, Super Tomato suddenly thought of something: Most of Cloud Dream’s previous games have the [Dynamic Difficulty] option.
If you turn this option on, should you fail repeatedly at the same point, the system will automatically lower the difficulty.
This is a care measure taken to ensure casual players can enjoy the game.
——Of course, hardcore players always disdain it.
Super Tomato isn’t too hardcore, so he kept this option on.
“Is this a system prompt?”
Super Tomato’s spirit shook.
“But…
why are there no punctuation marks?” He frowned slightly, “Shield Counter, friend?
What does that mean?”
He took the lid that was purely for decoration from his back, and looked at the characters saying [can counter with the shield] in the item’s description.
He was unfamiliar with the term “Shield Counter”.
The last time he remembered hearing this term was during the hunting event on the Dinosaur Island.

But he wasn’t interested in shields then and had been playing with a large blade.
After the event ended, he didn’t return to the game, so he didn’t have a clear concept about it.
——Of course, this was not because he was capricious.
It was because, as an anchor, he had to constantly keep up with the new games and hot topics that Cloud Dream keeps putting out.
For most anchors, they can only focus on one to two of the most popular games at the same time, in addition to any newly launched games from Cloud Dream.
And Super Tomato was no exception.
It was just unfortunate that hunting was not his favorite gameplay.
Contrarily, while he was still struggling, some bosses who frequented the Hunting Island had already used a simple pot lid to test the BOSS’s skills for two rounds, perfectly using shield counter to enter the second phase.
It was only in the second phase, with the greatly increased difficulty of shield counter, that they were slowed down.
——But once they got used to the rhythm, they wouldn’t be troubled for long.
Super Tomato was very obedient.
Seeing this prompt, he immediately stopped moving forward and sought out a highlight video of a boss using shield counter perfectly.
After watching the video, he nodded, “I get it.”
“If you accurately block with the shield at the moment the BOSS’s attack lands, you can deflect the BOSS’s attack.
The BOSS would also get stunned for a moment, giving you an opportunity to attack, right?”
“I understand it completely.”
With the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, Super Tomato began the fight again.
This time, when the BOSS swung his giant axe down, he didn’t try to dodge.
Instead, he focused his entire attention on the BOSS’s attack.
Without the need to dodge anything, he could see every detail of the BOSS’s swinging arm!
The axe swung, emanating a cold light!
Super Tomato also swung his pot lid with all his might!
“Swish!”
The BOSS’s axe hit Super Tomato squarely in the chest, blood burst forth in an instant.
“Empty!”
The delayed shield was struck against the air, producing a unique sound effect that Lincoln had specially trained.
The BOSS applied a second attack, clearing his health bar.
The familiar black and white world.
The familiar [Death].
“Too slow, be faster next time.” Super Tomato had exceptional pressure resistance.
[Super Tomato VS Fred, Seventh Match]
“Empty!”
“Swish!”
“Puff!”
The shield was swung a beat too early, only deflecting the air, which opened his guard and let an axe hit his chest.
The BOSS skillfully pursued the attack, Super Tomato tried to dodge clumsily, but the outcome didn’t change at all.
Still, he [died]!
“This time it was too fast, slower next time.”
