Chapter 146: The Second Stage of the Crystallized Elder
"kill me!"
The crystallized old man screamed in pain, which made Xia Yu secretly shocked. Why did this old man lose control of himself when he met him?
If he turns around and runs away now, will the old man chase him, or will he just return to his original appearance and wait for him to challenge him again?
But Xia Yu just thought about it. After the player dies, the BOSS will recover for a period, which is the gameplay. If he turns around and runs away now, the BOSS will definitely chase him directly.
Therefore, fighting is inevitable, and an old man who would rather die than succumb to the abyss will give the other party corresponding respect.
Seeing Xia Yu attacking again, the crystal ball in the crystal old man's hand flashed with dark purple light, and then a strong wind blew, and a large number of dark purple crystal arrows struck instantly.
For these crystal arrows, Xia Yu could easily see the trajectory of the attack, so he just turned his body sideways and the crystal arrows were dodged by a hair's breadth.
However, before he could pursue him, the crystallized old man seemed to have anticipated that this attack would have no effect, and that the crystallized arrows were only used to cover up the subsequent magic.
The next moment, countless crystal hails flashing with icy blue light suddenly filled the sky. This is the unique magic of the Crystal Old Man, which can continuously shoot small soul blocks from the air, and has extremely strong penetration.
In an instant, crystal hail fell from the sky, like sparkling meteors falling in the dark night.
Xia Yu, who was completely enveloped, did not sit still and took out a Lothric knight's large shield from the space with a wave of his hand. This was the large shield of the famous Lothric knight.
Not only is the holy emblem painted on the shield, it is also blessed by a miracle from the officiant, so this large shield has a high magic attribute and a damage reduction rate.
In other words, this large shield has strong magic resistance.
Crack, crackle!
Crystal hail fell like raindrops, and Xia Yu, who was hiding under Luo Qi's shield, took advantage of this to recover the energy he had spent.
Because he had the green flower ring picked up from the undead settlement, he only had a moment of respite, and the energy he had consumed was replenished again.
While the dense crystal hail had not yet ended, Xia Yu took advantage of this to sneak up on him. The crystal old man on the other side was still controlling the crystal hail in the sky, trying to drown the enemies in front of him.
Xia Yu, who touched the crystallized old man's side, lifted his shield directly and ignored the crystallized hail hitting him.
Then the magic power all over his body surged and exploded, just like the energy of Super Saiyan transformation, the blue magic power appeared directly on the surface of his body, and the crystal hail that hit him was destroyed before he could get close.
Taking this opportunity, Xia Yu's veins popped out in his arms, and he slashed down with his two enchanted swords.
Clang—!
All sounds in the world seemed to be blocked, leaving only two sword sounds. The X-shaped sword light, compressed to the extreme, flashed past. Before the crystallized old man had time to take precautions, the sword light had arrived.
The ultimate sword energy passed through the crystallized old man's body, and then the sword energy continued unabated, and the burst of magic directly turned the landscape into half hot and half cold ice.
The original appearance of this landform is no longer visible, and the dilapidated and broken city has also been scratched by the X-shaped sword energy, leaving ravines with residual magic power.
The city, along with the living corpses hiding inside, was reduced to ruins.
Pat~
The crystal ball in the hands of the crystallized old man turned into four smooth-cut petals and fell to the ground helplessly. However, the crystallized old man who was supposed to be divided into four petals together with the crystal ball suddenly erupted into dirty black mist.
The black mist stuck the crystallized old man that was supposed to be divided into four parts together, and his eyes that could still be seen struggling had now turned completely blood red.
"Fuck! Phase two!"
Looking at the crystallized old man who was filled with the aura of the abyss, Xia Yu stepped back and put away his swords with an ugly expression. The game can only be used as a reference. The crystallized old man in the game does not have such a ferocious second stage.
It may be said that this is the second time he has fought against an enemy infected by the abyss, but compared to the Ash Judge Guda who was corroded by human pus, the crystallized old man did not erupt into disgusting black pus from his body.
Perhaps this is a different form of manifestation of the abyss?
The type of infection that the crystallized old man was infected by the abyss was the erosion of the mind, while the type of infection that Guda was infected by the abyss was human pus.
Hmm... maybe the source of human pus is also related to the demon king of Lothric. After all, only the city of Lothric has human pus.
But there is no final answer to these things in the game. It all depends on the spiritualist's own thinking and guessing. His guess cannot be said to be completely correct, but it cannot be said to be completely wrong either.
Ambiguous story speculation is the world view of the soul world.
…
Before Xia Yu could think for too long, the overwhelming black mist of the abyss came over. Seeing this, Xia Yu took out the previous trophy, the Black Knight Great Sword.
Against the abyss, there is only fire.
The Black Knight's greatsword used to fight against the Chaos Demon must have been contaminated by the Chaos Demon's flames, so he chose this weapon.
Xia Yu shook the huge sword in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. The weight was just right, so he asked him to tell the crystallized old man how a real mage should fight!
"Tangled!"
Xia Yu, who secretly recited the incantation, reached out and brushed the black knight's sword. In an instant, the fire of the incantation wrapped around it.
Spellfire and Chaos Fire have the same origin, and the demons use Chaos Fire spells.
Therefore, the moment the cursed fire wrapped around the Black Knight's sword, the sword that had defeated the Chaos Demon was instantly activated.
Flames of chaos or magic rose into the sky, and the light on the sword became brighter and brighter, like the blazing sun.
Xia Yu held a huge sword in his hand, jumped forward suddenly, rolled around and then slashed vertically. The blazing flames struck straight at the crystallized old man infected by the abyss.
The fierce flames turned into a pouring torrent, like the early morning light tearing apart the darkness that refused to leave, rolling forward unstoppably! And the spreading black mist of the abyss, like the first snow splashed by boiling water, quickly melted under the flames.
The originally threatening black mist of the abyss was quickly evaporated under its own nemesis flame, revealing the crystallized old man inside who had been thoroughly impregnated.
Having lost his crystal ball, it does not mean that the crystallized old man is incapable of fighting. An elegant and noble crystallized stabbing sword was drawn by the old man.
But in the face of Xia Yu's open and close sword movements, this stabbing sword hindered the crystallized old man everywhere, and he was unable to use his sword skills at all.
Xia Yu exerted force with both arms, and he performed all kinds of swordsmanship with the extra-large sword to great effect, and the chaotic flames on the sword burned everything around him.
The square, which was originally like a crystal forest, now became even more sparkling under the burning.
Snapped!
By accident, the crystallized old man's stabbing sword was directly knocked away by Xia Yu. He was reluctant to destroy this weapon, so he could only use clever force to deflect it away.
The already eroded crystallized old man had no intention of turning around and running away. Instead, he hugged Xia Yu with his own life. He wanted the enemy in front of him to be contaminated by the abyss.
But Xia Yu, who had already known the crystallization old man's intention, how could he reveal his flaws?
The next moment, the surging flames whipped up boundless winds, causing ripples in the surrounding air. The blazing flames suddenly condensed from the sword, turning into a sky-high sword made of condensed flames.
"cut!"
Xia Yu never liked giving names to moves, so he just shouted lowly before striking down with a sudden blow!
