Super Tomato has fallen into the infinite cycle of Shield Counter hell.

However, the good news is: this isn’t his hell alone.

An hour after the closed beta began, only six people quickly adapted to the completely different combat rhythm, defeated the BOSS, and opened the gate of Luoyang City, which had turned into a demon realm.

The remaining 2,994 people are all suffering madly.

Under the careful instruction of the BOSS, they are practicing the Shield Counter intensely.

Even Lance, who is extremely talented, was also barred outside.

In essence, they can’t adapt to this combat rhythm all of a sudden.

After being infected by the miasma, the players’ feeling is not “from an expert to an ordinary person,” but “from an expert to a useless person.”

Their agility is greatly discounted, and the combat logic is completely different.

It is no longer the previous “fight fast with fast”—since the players can barely react on their own, it is wishful thinking to have a head-on confrontation with the BOSS.

The combat logic has become “counter every move”——

The BOSS’s attack logic and movements are limited.

What the players need to do is to familiarize themselves with all the logic and actions of the BOSS until they can predict to a certain extent and then react appropriately.

Like Wu Di, due to many years of boxing experience, he quickly adapted to this combat logic, successfully defeated the BOSS, and became one of the six people who opened the city gate.

One and a half hours after Super Tomato started testing, he managed to not get chased to death after being hacked, but found the ability to find gaps to heal.

Two hours later, the success rate of the Shield Counter began to increase significantly.

Two and a half hours later, he finally succeeded in depleting the last bit of the BOSS’s health before running out of alcohol.

But just as he raised his arms, before he had a chance to cheer, a large mass of black and red pus suddenly burst out from the BOSS’s chest!

It looked like a liquid miasma, completely overwhelming the upper half of this general.

“Is this…

the kill animation?”

Super Tomato was surprised to see this scene.

But only after two breaths, the black and red pus solidified and turned into a ferocious, evil creature with a large mouth, then took a bite at Super Tomato!

Super Tomato instinctively raised his shield, but——

“Empty!”

After the BOSS transformed, the combat rhythm changed again.

The difficulty of the Shield Counter has increased once more!

Super Tomato plunged into another round of suffering…

Luckily, the previous experience was not wasted.

After the BOSS transformed, the attack range became larger, the attack desire stronger, the difficulty of the Shield Counter increased, but no new attack logic was introduced.

So, forty minutes later, Super Tomato finally defeated the transformed BOSS.

This time, holding the sword and staring at the BOSS’s corpse, he was constantly on guard for the BOSS’s feign death.

And the BOSS did feign death all over again!

The body began to tremble, the solidified miasma pus began to flow again, starting to swallow up the lower half of the BOSS’s body that was still intact.

“No way…

the third phase?”

“This is only the first monster?!

Is this so outrageous?!”

“Can this game still be played?”

At the moment when Super Tomato had a thought of quitting the game, the [Dragon Abyss Sword Mark] on his right hand suddenly burst out with a silver glow!

This glow, like running water, flowed into his hand from the back of his hand.

The Village Sword originally held in his hand was knocked off, and the Dragon Abyss Sword burning with silver flames was then held in his hand.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the system introduction of the [Dragon Abyss Sword]——

[Cut off the undead]!

So he raised the Dragon Abyss Sword and stabbed it into the body that had completely lost its human form!

Then——

The Silver Fire blazed up!

It instantly ignited the solidified pus!

The BOSS’s corpse, which was invaded and corroded by the miasma, was quickly burned to ashes in the Silver Fire, turned into a pile of ashes, and scattered with the wind.

Only a wristband, a giant axe, and a ball of pure white light were left in the original place.

In an environment that is grey and gloomy, that ball of light is so eye-catching.

Super Tomato also picked up this ball of light first——

——

[Purified Soul Core – Yan Gaoqing]

[Soul]/[Currency]/[Consumable]

A pure Soul Core purified by the Sword Immortal Flames.

Can be used as a currency for trading with NPCs, or crushed to become a consumable that increases attributes.

—— Or perhaps, use the Sword Immortal Flames to burn it to nothing, allowing the soul to find release.

——

After reading the System Introduction, Super Tomato immediately furrowed his brows ——

“Strengthen ourselves by devouring the souls of others?

Is it that evil?”

“But I’ve fought for over 3 hours, I can’t just cremate and let go, right?”

“And what if I can’t fight without it?”

Smart people are always prone to overthinking, and Super Tomato was doing just that:

“Wait, whether or not I use it, will it lead to different game endings?”

“Be an evil hero saving the world, or be a good man, watching on as the world slides towards destruction…”

“Is Cloud Dream going to play this kind of philosophical speculation?”

Super Tomato found it difficult to make a decision.

Finally, he opted to put away the soul core first, then picked up the wristband and the giant axe on the ground, looking at the system descriptions one by one ——

——

[Hercules Wristband]

[Protective Gear]/[Container]/[Wrist]

Equipable

Increased grip, +3 Damage, immune to disarm

Strong grip can even block attacks from heavy weapons!

Wearing this wristband enables the use of [Block] and [Blade Counter].

Contains six weapon storage slots, can switch weapons when not in combat.

(It’s strong, no doubt about it, but please carefully choose your tactics.)

——

[Furious Axe]

[Weapon]/[Two-handed]

Equipable

+15 Damage

The weight is your burden, but also your weapon!

Ɲονǥ0.сο

(This weapon used to belong to a mighty general, who recently carved a bloody path out of a siege alongside his furious master, but ultimately, failed to escape the corruption of miasma.

In the final moment, the general transformed his body and soul into the sheath for the Dragon Abyss Sword and took his stand outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the savior.)

——

Without a second thought, Super Tomato put the wristband on, then studied the description of the axe for a while.

“So, Fred didn’t die after scolding Anloshan?”

“Or is it…

history has been changed, Anloshan didn’t have the energy to deal with him after being heavily injured in Chang’an, and he didn’t see Anloshan at all.

Instead, he seized the opportunity to break out of prison and then, potentially ran into Shirley?”

“Can’t it be clearer?!!”

This kind of hidden, half-said, half-unsaid description left Super Tomato itching all over, not only wanting to, but actually contemplating calling Lincoln to get clarity.

After several deep breaths, he calmed down, walked up to the tightly closed city gate, and started to push.

This time, the city gate finally moved.

Amidst the heavy rumbling, he managed to inch it open!

Until —— it was completely opened!

The Heavenly Street, stretching through the entire city, leading straight to the Imperial City, suddenly unfolded before his eyes!

Despite Super Tomato’s usual rationality, he couldn’t help but feel exhilarated at this moment ——

“Divine Capital!

Your savior has arrived!!”

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment!

After over three hours of combat, he finally managed to defeat the BOSS and earned the qualification to enter the city!

He strode into the open city gate, ready to step onto Heavenly Street!

But without any warning ——

“Thump!!”

A giant club suddenly whacked him hard on the back of his head!

His health bar dropped by a third instantly, while he entered a stunned state for one second.

Super Tomato’s mind went blank for a second.

When he snapped back, he hadn’t yet realized what had happened, he just hurriedly turned around to look.

—— And was hit squarely in the face by the second club!

Again, he lost a third of his health bar and was stunned for 0.75 seconds.

This time when he regained his senses, he hastily lifted up the giant axe in an attempt to defend —— the axe was a two-handed weapon, it couldn’t be used to hold a shield, so he could only try to block with the axe.

But the giant axe was too heavy, lifting it up felt like weightlifting, and as the big club slammed down, it dropped right back down.

So once again, he was hit on the head by the club…

Then, he saw that word again ——

[Dead]!

After resurrecting, Super Tomato stood in front of the city gate, speechless for a while.

Why would there be a monster hidden behind the door?

And he was specifically distracted by the magnificent sight of Heavenly Street, to create an opportunity for the little monster to attack…

Did it have to be so despicable??!

Was that really necessary??!!
