With the help of Blaze and "Bionic Teardrop", Sherlock defeated "Dark Abandoned Esty" with some difficulty.
Speaking of which, as long as the colorful laser array doesn't keep scanning at you, the difficulty is not that high. It's just a matter of throwing rock balls. It's good to have teammates.
However, compared to the supernova explosion light effect that strange scorpion created before it died, the characters that appeared in front of him after clearing its health bar attracted Sherlock's attention more.
The fall of legend? Can this thing be called a legend?
There was no prompt at all after defeating the limb grafter Grek and the Broken Star General Latarn. Only elite monsters and some dungeon lords would have the [ENEMYFELLED] prompt. He originally thought that there were no high-end BOSSs, but now it seems that there are.
A deeper reason.
In addition, this weird-looking guy also dropped the one-handed sword "The Stars of the Abandoned Son" that seemed to be a combination of one hand and the tail of a planet, as well as the "Esti Meteorite" which seemed to be an enhanced version of the rock ball.
What they have in common is that the attribute requirements are too high to be used.
Could it be that... I shouldn't have gotten here so quickly? But there was no obvious mechanism on the road that was going to stop me, and I had to use a key to open it.
Of course, there is another possibility. The combination of meteorite staff and rock balls is too strong, and I was crushed along the way...
And now, when he finally encountered a BOSS that he couldn't defeat with physical strength, the "Bionic Teardrop" he picked up on the road more than doubled his strength.
Oh, yes, I picked it up. "White Wolf" Blaze took him around the eternal city of Nokron for a while - literally, and finally picked up the ability to copy his current state in a relatively remote palace.
The "Bionic Teardrop" state, during which the BOSS was not even encountered.
Near the treasure chest where the bionic teardrop was hidden, Blaze also successfully found another target he had come underground, a simple-looking dagger that looked like it was made of brass and had a slight golden light.
Sherlock made some predictions and found that if he didn't wander around, went straight to the location of the "Bionic Teardrop" and the dagger with a clear purpose and then returned, the final exploration rate of the entire underground city would not even exceed 8%.
Ding, ding, grunt...
Sherlock was still thinking about his experiences along the way when he suddenly heard the sound of some small metal product falling to the ground, bouncing up, and then rolling away. When he looked up, he found Blaze half-crouching on the ground, pressing his hands on the ground.
The ground looked confused.
Well, it's a typical performance of dropping something by mistake but failing to catch it despite repeated attempts. However, if Blaze's beast-like reflexes failed to catch something, it must be of high quality.
"What did you drop? Let me help you try it with the Flying Curse?" Sherlock asked with the attitude of trying it without spending any money.
"That was... this 'Dark Abandoned Child' was stolen from Lady Lani," Blaze hesitated for a moment, and then said a word that Sherlock had not expected: "'Ultraviolet Lamp Group' ring."
"
It's not surprising at all. Ever since the seven-color light ring and the black-and-white light ring appeared, he had guessed that such a day would come. Why should "invisible light" not be "light"?
...Although "infrared" and "ultraviolet" are already electromagnetic in theory.
Compared with infrared rays, which are essentially heat and are used in many daily fields, ultraviolet rays are more suitable as the name of the lantern. It sounds mysterious and dangerous because of its radiation properties, doesn’t it?
"The 'Ultraviolet Lantern Ring' is coming." Sherlock tried it without any hope. Sure enough, it had no effect.
"[Are you idiots?]" Xiao Lani, who had been sitting firmly on Blaze's shoulder even during the fierce fight, said: "[The power of the 'Ultraviolet Lantern Group' comes from 'forgetfulness', and both of them are thinking about finding it."
You can’t find it at all~]”
"Forgetting? Is that an emotion?" Sherlock expressed doubts: "I thought it would be 'hatred' before."
"[Children, haven't you heard this sentence? 'The antonym of love is not hate, but forgetfulness',"" Xiao Lani said arrogantly: "[The reason why infrared rays cannot create a lamp cluster is that
Because its emotional spectrum is 'accustomed', which is also an important reason why 'green plums are no match for falling from the sky'.】"
Kid? Well, if she really has some kind of relationship with the vice-principal, it wouldn't be surprising to see through her true identity, but for now it's better to pretend to be stupid.
"So, why was the 'Dark Abandoned Son' able to steal the ring from you?" Sherlock asked instead.
"[Hmph, it better have that ability. Too many people thought of me, so after accidentally losing the ring, it fell to this guy whose 'power of forgetfulness' is second only to me in the junction area,]"
Little Lani tilted her head and looked at Sherlock: "[The statistics of 'Forgotten Power' are very complicated, but the overall relationship is related to the number of times 'it was once known to someone but completely forgotten by them'. It is almost impossible to obtain it through one's own efforts."
, or in other words, hard work will only have the opposite effect. If you use too much force and accidentally leave an impression that will be unforgettable for a lifetime, it will be completely in vain.】"
That's too bad. I don't think I'll be able to forget you, Ms. Laney.
...No, it’s better not to say this in front of Blaze.
"In other words, these people in the junction who continue to lose their memories and eventually become living corpses are the source of your 'power of forgetfulness'?" Sherlock raised his hand, but he was not sure which side of the sky was the ground in the junction.
part, so he pointed randomly.
"[Not mine, but yours,]" Xiao Lani replied: "[A living corpse encountered you, a faded person who was powerful enough to beat them into slag, and then died because of being killed.
Forget about your existence, it’s a perfect closed loop, so you can become stronger just by killing monsters everywhere, which makes sense.】"
But I have never used the so-called "power of forgetfulness".
"[As for the 'Dark Abandoned Son', tsk tsk,]" Little Lani shook her head at the place where Esti disappeared: "[It can be seen from the name that it has been abandoned and forgotten by its tribe. It was originally detained
I didn’t kill it, mainly because I wanted to catch its kin. Now it seems that it has been completely abandoned.]”
"So, how can I find the ring you want?" Sherlock tried to bring the topic back.
"['Forgotten', you can't find it by force, you have to inadvertently...]" Xiao Lani's voice suddenly raised an octave: "[Now immediately touch your least frequently used pockets!]"
"!" Sherlock and Blaze, who had been listening for a long time, subconsciously raised their hands to touch their special pockets on the sides of their legs and inside their plush cloaks at the same time - but found nothing.
"Well..." When the two of them were staring at each other, Melina, who had been transformed into a spiritual body, slowly appeared, holding a strange ring that was completely transparent and exuded a faint purple light in her hand: "Excuse me,
Is that it?"
"[Huh? How could it be...I see.]" Xiaolani glanced at Melina twice, as if she had thought of some information that only she herself understood: "[Can you give the ring to Blaze? I'll use it.
I'll trade that 'RuleBreaker' with you.】"
"Ah, no need..." Melina looked at Sherlock at a loss.
"[Take it, if it weren't for the fact that the dagger 'Your Lord Faded One' couldn't be used, I wouldn't have given it to you," Little Lani said while turning to look at Sherlock: "[As for you, remember this later.
Go to Liyenia's 'Kalia Fortress' to find my body and ask for rewards. Don't wait until later.]"
...Will the main body really recognize the promise made by the clone without authorization?
