Chapter 87 Was it the wolf that died in the fire, or was it your cowardice?
The phantom of the hero wielded the holy sword, unleashing a tidal wave of light blades and a majestic rain of fire that filled the sky, baptizing the area where the giant wolf was for more than a minute. During this period, Olvera
In his eyes, he could only see the chaos of sword light, and numbers symbolizing combos jumping out of the light——
145hit!
258hit!
336hit!
450hit!
……
The numbers became more and more exaggerated, and in the end, the momentum of the light blade and fire rain gradually weakened, and even when it was completely extinguished, the last combo number jumped out. Unlike the previous combo number, it was several times larger, and it was also
Attached with golden special effects, it looks particularly cool: 999hit!!!
It happens to be the maximum number of combos of the hero's combo skill [Blue Flame Flurry·Unparalleled Combo].
The phantom of the hero still maintains the posture when swinging the sword, but his eyes are slightly closed, as if he does not need to confirm the final result of the battle, and is determined in his heart to win. When the last golden combo number pops out and gradually becomes transparent
After disappearing, she slowly straightened up, flicked the blade of the sword gracefully, and made a movement to sheath the sword - although in fact the holy sword - Broken Steel Oath did not have a matching scabbard.
She turned around and walked over, handing the holy sword to Olvera again. The latter, who was still shocked by the scene just now, took it hesitantly. Then, the phantom gradually became blurred and disappeared in the still-reverberating afterglow. "Hoo!"
At the same time, Alice's excited voice came from her mind: "It's so exciting. I didn't expect that I actually hit the maximum number of combos of the special move. Counting 999 hits, this damage is almost super-killing, right?" p>
Then he sighed with some regret: "Unfortunately, I probably won't have such an opportunity in the future."
When Oveira heard this, she blinked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because the number of combos of [Blue Flame Flurry·Unparalleled Combo] is bound to the character's basic ability value. Just now, there was a buff bonus of 'Beyond Self', which tripled the basic ability value, and also made the boss' body
The position circle has all become a dangerous zone, so that you can hit the highest limit of 999 combos. But this buff is obviously a one-time bonus given by the plot. After this plot, there is no chance to get it again. So, next time
If you use this special move, I don’t know how many combos you can hit.”
She looked very sad. After all, as a talented player, now that she has experienced the joy of 999 consecutive hits, how can she continue to endure the frustration and pain of hitting the last hit?
When Alice said this, Oveira couldn't help but glance at her attribute panel. It just so happened that the buff that helped her reverse the situation and establish a chance of victory had just passed the last second and disappeared from her status bar.<
/p>
[The power of "transcending yourself" has disappeared, but the true courage still remains in your heart, and you have obtained the "memory of the brave".]
[Memory of the Brave: When holding the item "Reverberation of Courage", the attack power is permanently increased by 10%.]
The sacred armor Kacha worn on his body shattered and turned into countless fragments of light. They flew to the place where they came from, flying like snowflakes all over the sky; the huge wings behind him made of lines of light also gradually faded, like invisible
It disappeared into a hazy mist. When it existed, it was as light as a flying feather, and when it disappeared, it was silent. If it weren't for the narration prompts of the game system, Olvera would not even realize that she had lost her flight.
ability.
Although the power drawn from the past memory quietly left after exerting its effect, it still left some traces in the girl's heart. The new state "memory of the brave" is proof. The blessing it gave goes far beyond
It's not as good as "transcending oneself", but it makes the girl feel very at ease, because this is the first time she has realized so clearly that something will never leave her again.
But, what kind of prop is this "reverberation of courage"?
Olvera had no time to think about this problem, because Alice in her mind suddenly let out a soft sigh, as if she had discovered something surprising, and reminded her: "Ovela... go to the boss's body and take a look. He
Are you not dead yet?"
"Not dead?"
Oveira was also shocked, and couldn't believe that the opponent could survive the 999 attacks of [Cangyan Flurry·Unparalleled Combo]. But Alice said so, so she temporarily put her guard up and clenched her hands.
The hilt of the holy sword walked step by step towards the area that had just been baptized by the light blade and the rain of fire.
At this time, the crescent moon hanging in the sky has long disappeared, and the cold silvery moonlight has also faded, and everything has returned to silence. The light is dim and uncertain, setting off the decadent and lonely atmosphere after the fierce battle. The lantern around the girl's waist follows her.
The footsteps swayed gently, opening up an island of light in the black ocean. Within the scope of the lantern, you can see that the ground of the arena is full of scars, and the ancient stone bricks have been ravaged by the claws of the wolf and the sharp edge of the sword.
At this moment, it was all broken and sank a few inches downwards. The exposed gaps were filled with cold and lingering moisture.
Walking a little further forward, you can see the ruins of twelve broken arched stone pillars. These magnificent buildings rising from the underground abyss are actually more fragile than the century-old dead trees in the forest, and they are only swept by the edge of the light blade.
, collapsed suddenly, some still retain half of their sections, but the surface is scarred; while others completely collapsed and turned into heavy accumulations of masonry and gravel, which were either scattered everywhere or filled the abyss under their feet.
The defeated giant wolf leaned against the base of a stone pillar. Its huge body outlined a shadow as thick as a mountain in the darkness, but its breath was very weak, as if it was about to reach the end of its life.
In fact, he should have died a long time ago, because both Olvera and Alice can see that the health bar above his head is completely blank, and the same is true for the digital display: hp 0/2000.
If HP is zero, doesn’t it mean he is dead?
But he wasn't dead yet. He was still breathing hard, keeping his chest rising and falling weakly. After hearing Olvera's footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes. The scarlet eyes reflected the girl's surprised expression, as well as her.
The blade of the Holy Sword that was raised subconsciously, with its pure and beautiful blue luster like crystal, had turned into countless surging blades of light and rain of fire all over the sky in the battle that just passed, turning its
All power has been drained.
But the giant wolf knew very well that what really defeated him was not the attack that was so fast and fierce that it was difficult to resist, but Oveira's courage.
If she had not understood what true courage is, she would not have been able to achieve this level.
So——
"I'm very happy." He said in a steady and generous voice that a dying person should not have, staring at Olvera's face: "I'm also very pleased. In the end, you still recovered the lost things through your own efforts.
You have lost strength for a long time, and also found the courage he wanted to give you."
"Him?" After confirming that he no longer had the intention to attack, Olvera relaxed her vigilance, but still kept a safe distance and asked curiously: "You mean, my father?"
"Expectations and hopes are all the same." The other party answered in obscure words, but did not deny it.
Olivia recalled what she saw in her memory and couldn't help but feel confused. She asked hesitantly: "Who...are you? Why do you know what my father said to me? Why do you need to repeat those words to me?"
Do I listen? Why..."
How can you be so nice to me?
This is what the girl didn't finish, but everyone can guess what she wants to express.
In the past battles, the giant wolf had more than one opportunity to completely defeat Olvera, but he never attacked with all his strength, always leaving room for the girl to give up. It can even be considered that what he said to Olvera
Those words were both verbal oppression and psychological guidance. If he hadn't kept repeating the concept of "courage", maybe Olvera would not have recalled that memory until she was defeated.
He does not act like an enemy, but like a guide who hopes to use battle to guide the lost. However, he is obviously a shadow beast created to guard Olvera, right? There is no coordination between the positions of the two parties.
That's probably right.
"Why?"
Facing this question, the giant wolf smiled lowly: "Maybe it's because I am a memory from the past. Princess Beman, we are all phantoms that split from the original ruler, and each inherited her
A kind of power, perhaps, also inherited the emotions from her. It is real and exists in our mission. Maybe it will surprise you to say this, but all guardians, including me,
I have no intention of harming you, I just hope that you can stay in this castle until the day when our Lord's great cause is completed... It may be a very distant wait, but we are all lucky and looking forward to it.
It's coming."
His voice gradually weakened: "I am just the first guardian. The guardians on the next few levels are not weaker than me. Besides, they may not be willing to communicate with you well like me. If they use strong force
Please understand that the phantom's will is not controlled by itself. Only victory can continue your path."
"You have great power. Courage will help you gain the faith to fight against the darkness, but courage alone is absolutely not enough. Therefore, please try to draw more strength from the memories of the past. This is the only thing I can give you.
As entrusted by the emperor, those who inherit the memory will also inherit the fate of being separated. Your Highness, Princess of Bemang, are you ready?"
A hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. All the memories and memories of his existence were finally reduced to a sigh and a last word: "When I die, please kindle a flame in my bones and light them."
Let's shine the light here. I will be here and continue to watch your future."
