Chapter 108: Killing without finishing off the enemy
After just half an hour of trial play, the audience could see the uniqueness of the game "Sekiro".
Needless to say, Old E, who was broadcasting live, had already been deeply attracted by the novel gameplay and battles.
"I just don't believe that I can't get past this little boss today."
He really had a fight with this monster today.
After dying twice, he rushed out of the save point with a knife in hand and fought his way to the small boss.
And this time.
He was obviously much more skilled than before.
He also mastered the technique of blocking and counterattacking with the sword.
After some careful moves, he finally succeeded in filling up the little boss's yellow stripes, and familiar red dots appeared on his body.
Execution!
Without any hesitation, he rushed forward to initiate the execution, stabbing the little leader in the chest with a knife, causing blood to spurt out instantly.
Although he originally had more than half of his health left, it was emptied in an instant.
However, the little boss did not die. Instead, his health bar was restored and he stood up again, gripping his weapon tightly and attacking Old E again.
"He didn't die even after being stabbed in the heart. I'm afraid he has mutated."
Old E looked like he had seen a ghost.
I had finally killed a bunch of them and before I could even feel happy, the leader jumped up again.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged to avoid being hit by the knife.
at the same time.
A prompt box pops up.
[Execute the strong: For some strong people, only one execution is not enough to kill them. You need to execute them as many times as the number of marks above their HP. ]
Good job.
As expected of a small leader, his life is much tougher than that of a soldier.
Old E looked at the remaining mark above the health bar and continued to attack without getting in a hurry.
With the experience just now, he seized the opportunity to launch an execution again in less than two minutes, clearing the last piece of health.
"Huh, I finally killed him."
"Don't mention it, it's quite fun to play."
Looking at the little leader who fell , Old E breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead of making him tired, the long-term mental tension made him more excited and gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
but.
This mood was immediately broken by a barrage of comments.
"Anchor, is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that this is actually just a small boss?"
When Old E saw this comment, his face instantly turned dark.
These guys really don't bring up things that shouldn't be mentioned.
Can't you praise him for his heroic fight just now?
"2333, a leader feels like a boss."
"Look at what you are capable of. If you don't know, you would think you are the final boss."
"Stop talking nonsense and continue. I want to see you being tortured to the point where you can't take care of yourself."
"Fast forward to smashing the keyboard to uninstall the game."
Many people in the live broadcast room have watched the actual game demo, but remember that there will be more powerful bosses later.
He died so many times just to a small boss. Wasn't the boss battle a very painful one?
"You are totally wrong about this." Old E chuckled twice.
"I have now understood the trick of fighting. No matter how powerful the boss is, it will still take a few perfect blocks to defeat him."
Defeating this little boss made him more confident than ever before, and he thought he had mastered the fighting skills of the game.
Pick up the props on the ground and follow the instructions to move forward.
After crossing a bridge and jumping off the platform.
Finally arrived at the entrance of the passage seen in the video.
The audience held their breath and stared at the screen.
Because they all know that behind the passage is the first boss they will encounter.
Old E paused for only a moment before walking through the passage and coming outside to the familiar white reed field.
Just one glance.
His eyes were fixed on Genichirō who was standing on the top of the hill .
"Is this the boss? He doesn't look that strong. I'll try and see what happens if I kill him."
After the plot dialogue ended, Genichirō rushed down the hillside with his sword in hand.
Old E didn't bother to be polite with him. Using the skills he had just learned, he rushed forward and slashed twice.
Ding ding!
As expected.
Both attacks were blocked.
However, he was not panicked at all and dodged Genichirō's counterattack with a quick move.
But at this moment, Genichirō made a half circle and ran quickly to his side, sticking to him quickly like a dog-skin plaster.
"Oh my god! How can he be so fast!"
Old E was shocked. It didn't look like anything special in the video, but it was completely different when he actually tried it himself.
This guy's running speed and attack speed are countless levels faster than the previous mini-boss.
He had no choice but to press the block button frantically to block the series of intensive attacks.
Seeing that the yellow bar above his head was about to be broken, he was so scared that he quickly dodged and quickly widened the distance between the two.
The yellow bar that was almost full gradually fell back.
But Genichirō didn't give him a chance to breathe. He rushed up and slashed him twice, forcing him to fight back.
However, just when Old E thought he was safe.
Genichirō suddenly jumped high and chopped down suddenly. With a "clang" sound, he broke through his block and froze him in place.
【Danger! 】
A large blood-red word appeared above his head, startling him.
But he was still in a state of broken defense and had no way to dodge.
All he could do was watch as Genichirō bent down and stabbed out with the long sword in his hand.
"puff!"
Blood splattered, and Old E's chest was pierced. His blood volume, which was only half, was instantly emptied, and he directly entered the plot killing scene.
"Ah, this."
Old E stared at the screen in a daze.
It all happened so suddenly that he was unable to react for a moment.
The speed is really too fast!
It was countless times faster than the little boss. During the whole process, he could only passively defend and had very few opportunities to take action.
"No wonder there was a plot-related killing. Who can withstand such a fast attack speed?"
"Why not kill him and see the consequences? You're dreaming."
"That's it? You can't even stop two rounds of attack from them."
"Not bad, not bad. This is the level of difficulty we want. It's exciting enough."
"Will I encounter this boss again in the future?"
Although they already knew it was a plot-driven scene, the audience was still amazed.
It's not because of how gorgeous the combat in this game is.
on the contrary.
Rather, it is because of the sense of reality brought by its simplicity and plainness.
This is something that other games can't offer.
Under discussion.
The cutscene is over.
The player had his left arm cut off by Genichirō's sword and fainted in the reeds.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a dim temple, and his broken arm had been replaced with a prosthetic limb similar to that of ancient mechanical devices.
"Oh no, killing someone without finishing them off is really stupid of a villain."
The audience laughed; this scene was so familiar.
Old E, who had come to his senses, began to control his character to talk to the NPC in front of him and learned some background information about the game.
To sum it up.
The Son of God he served had a bloodline that could grant people immortality.
It was because he signed a blood contract with the Son of God that he gained the power of immortality and could be reborn infinitely.
Genichirō captured the Son of God in order to obtain this power.
As to what it will be used for, it is not yet known.
After learning the information, he quickly left the temple and came outside to a huge cliff.
