Chapter 324: The Demon Sword Red (Part 3)

—

“Are you okay, elder?” Lagias asked with concern.

“I won’t die, but I can’t recover for now,” Samimi replied.

The Hero Sword Saint had already used all her powerful moves, whittling the enemy down to just bones, but even so, the opponent could still revive—

How were they supposed to fight this?

“What in the world is going on? Without understanding its ability, we have no chance of winning,” Blue Ghost frowned and asked.

She turned to look at the Magic Sword Reid.

The monster wasn’t the least bit anxious, having already slumped back to the ground, waiting for the next challenger, exuding an air of invincibility.

—

“The strongest Hero Sword Saint can’t beat it…”

“And her health pool is way too fragile, she coughs up blood at the slightest touch. So you’re the real glass cannon Sword Saint, huh?”

Samimi couldn’t help but snark.

—

To deal with Magic Sword Reid, you needed a thick enough health pool.

At the very least, you had to withstand that one full-field sword energy explosion.

There were no cover points on the giant tree stump. Once the opponent released an area-of-effect skill, you could only tank it.

—

“I’ll go,” Blue Ghost stood up.

Even knowing the odds of winning were slim, she had no choice but to brace herself and step forward.

—

“Red Ghost, help your sister,” Samimi suddenly said.

“Didn’t you say it’s a one-on-one duel?” Red Ghost was taken aback.

“Don’t ask, just go in,” Samimi pushed her towards the barrier.

—

The next instant—

Red Ghost actually passed right through the first layer of the Light Duel!

While Samimi’s hand was blocked by the light membrane.

—

“What’s going on?” Steve was shocked,

“I remember this skill is a one-on-one mechanism…”

But before her eyes—

Blue Ghost and Red Ghost had both entered the barrier at the same time!

—

“I don’t know either,” Samimi started playing dumb.

—

Actually—

This was just a “design flaw.”

No matter how strong a BOSS was, it couldn’t be truly invincible.

Otherwise, players would go find the game designers to settle scores offline.

—

Any mechanism must have a way to crack it.

Only—

Knowing the method doesn’t guarantee victory.

—

Magic Sword Reid’s weakness—

was that it “had no brain.”

It would only act according to its programmed instincts, a true fighting machine.

—

The first step of the strategy—

Exploit the loophole in [Light Duel].

—

This skill judged the number of enemies based on the wielder’s perception.

But Reid had no capacity for thought.

—

So—

You could “trick” it.

—

The method was simple:

Make two people’s aura and state completely synchronized.

Trick its judgment.

—

And Blue Ghost and Red Ghost—

happened to be twins.

Same race, same origin, synchronized.

—

They could do this naturally.

—

Thus—

Two versus one, successfully sneaked in.

—

Cheap?

Of course it was cheap.

But it was effective.

—

Though saying it was simple, doing it was extremely difficult.

This kind of strategy was intelligence bought with countless lives.

—

In the original plot—

Experts entered the barrier one by one, dueling Reid one-on-one.

They were beaten crippled, beaten broken.

Then, at the cost of their lives, they passed the information out.

—

Once the barrier lifted—

They couldn’t escape.

Because outside the battlefield was the Monster Tide.

—

The Hero Party could only flee with the wounded.

Those they couldn’t take—

could only be left behind to die.

Finished off and devoured by the Demon Humans.

—

Those elders—

died smiling.

And the Heroes—

fled crying.

—

Again and again.

Utterly despairing.

—

But this time—

Samimi wouldn’t let that tragedy repeat.

—

By the way.

In the original plot, the ones who ultimately defeated Magic Sword Reid were—

The Pure White Knight and the Hero of the Storm.

—

They used “Mental Synchronization,”

perfectly imitating each other.

—

Finally sneaking into the barrier—

Two versus one.

—

They only won after a bitter struggle.

—

By that time—

They had long since grown into true powerhouses.

Fabiana became the Kingdom’s War Marshal.

Lagias became the cold, ruthless Storm Hero.

—

And now?

One hasn’t fully grown yet.

One is still hesitating.

—

As for the third key person—

Zombie Priest Samimi.

Her role…

Let’s not talk about that for now.

—

And Bemore and Close?

Pure audience.

—

So—

The original strategy might not be applicable now.

—

Samimi fell into deep thought.

“How do we fight?”

“Wait a little longer…”

—

And at this moment—

Inside the barrier, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

—

Blades flashed, swords clashed.

Back and forth they went.

—

Dozens of exchanges passed.

The time the Twin Heroes had lasted—

had already surpassed Cresia’s.

—

And—

They weren’t falling behind at all!

—

“It really was just a problem of being too squishy.”

Samimi sighed:

“Veterans all know to pump your health to at least forty first.”

—

Blue Ghost and Red Ghost, during the previous battle, had already seen through Reid’s rhythm.

They were starting to adapt.

—

And their health and stamina—

far exceeded Cresia’s.

The Oni sisters were Stats Bosses to begin with.

—

“Huff… huff…”

—

But the problem was—

They couldn’t establish suppression.

—

Magic Sword Reid—

was getting stronger.

—

From a sluggish zombie,

it was gradually recovering into a true swordsman.

—

Speed, reaction, swordsmanship—

all全面提升!

—

The fight was getting more and more dangerous.

—

But the most fatal problem remained—

Their attacks were almost completely ineffective.

—

Snow Reflecting Mad Blade, Peerless Black Blade—

slashed onto Reid’s body.

—

No effect.

—

Didn’t fear pain.

Didn’t fear death.

And immune to damage.

—

How were you supposed to play this?

—

Sooner or later, Blue Ghost and Red Ghost would be worn down.

Reid could make a hundred mistakes.

They—

couldn’t afford a single one.

—

So—

Cracking the “immune to damage” mechanism,

was the key of all keys.

—

“It’s similar…”

Bemore suddenly spoke up.

“I can feel it… that’s magic.”

—

“What kind of magic?” Samimi asked.

—

Bemore narrowed her eyes and said slowly:

“Time Reversal.”
