Hongmeng System Shuttles Through the World

The tip of the sword, which shone with dark gray light, slid across the shoulders of the black-clothed boy.

The slender horizontal line that was fixed in the upper left corner of the line of sight finally shortened its length.

At the same time, it seemed that a cold palm touched the depths of his chest.

The horizontal line - the green bar called the HP bar, shows his remaining health. Although it still has a residual value of about 80%, it cannot be too optimistic. Because relatively speaking, he has already taken two steps toward death.

Before the enemy's sword entered the attack motion again, he took a large step backward to maintain his distance from the enemy.

"call……"

He took a deep breath to adjust his breath. Although the "body" in this world does not need oxygen, on the other side, the real body lying in the real world, breathing should be very intense now.

And the hands that were placed at random should be sweating a lot, and the heartbeat has accelerated to the point of breaking the watch.

This is also a matter of course.

Even if all he sees in front of him are virtual three-dimensional image objects, and the reduction is only a numerical value of life, but every time he fights in this world, it is as if he is fighting with his own life.

The world - so realistic!

This was his first impression when he came to this world.

The "enemy" in front of him - in addition to having shiny dark brown skin and long arms, there is also a half-human, half-beast monster with a human head and a scorpion tail. Not only is it not human in appearance, it doesn't even have real life.

It is nothing but a collection of digital files that can be infinitely regenerated by the system no matter how many times it is killed.

--wrong.

At present, the AI ​​program that manipulates this scorpion is observing and learning his fighting style to continuously improve his coping ability.

However, these learning files will be reset after the individual is eliminated, and will not be fed back to the next individual of the same species that appears in this area.

Therefore, in a sense, the scorpion man in front of him can be considered alive. It can be said to be unique in this world.

"...That's right."

Although it was impossible to understand what he was saying to himself, the scorpion man, the high-level monster "General of the Scorpion Tribe", even showed his sharp canine teeth, and he laughed.

it is true. Everything in this world seems to be real. Nothing is an imaginary virtual monster.

He placed the double-edged straight sword held in his right hand in the center of his body and posed.

The scorpion man also raised the round shield in his left hand, and the single-edged machete in his right hand shrank back.

On the dim battlefield, a wind blowing from nowhere shook the torches on the wall. The flames flickered and reflected on the damp slate.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

The scorpion general kicked his feet down, and rushed towards this side with a shrill roar.

The machete drew a sharp arc from a distance, leaving a dazzling and bright orange trail in the air, and approached him directly.

This is a common skill for common monsters: Crescent Slash.

This is an excellent assault sword skill capable of attacking over a four-meter range in 0.4 seconds.

Unfortunately, the boy had already predicted his attack pattern first.

In fact, he deliberately kept opening the distance between them, in order to induce the enemy AI learning system to make such an attack.

Dodging the blade that was only a few centimeters away from the tip of his nose, while smelling the burnt stench that entered his nose, he lowered his posture and rushed into the scorpion man's arms.

"Hey..."

The sword in the right hand slashed horizontally with a roar, and the blade was accompanied by a water-blue light effect, deeply piercing the abdomen with thinner scales, and bright red light splashed out instead of blood.

Then there was a loud cry of "Yah".

But the sword did not stop there. With the slashing, the system automatically assists his movements, launching the next wave of attacks at an unreasonable speed.

The sword that slashed from the left to the right once again tore the Scorpion's chest, and he then turned his body around and cut the third attack deeply into the enemy's body.

"Woooooooooooo!"

At the moment when the scorpion man recovered from the stiffness after his big swipe,

The machete in the right hand slashed down with a roar of anger or fear.

But his streak isn't over yet. The sword cut to the right bounced toward the upper left corner like a spring, hitting the enemy's heart—that is, the enemy's biggest weakness.

The four consecutive attacks drew a square of aqua blue light around him, spreading dazzlingly. This is his self-created sword skill "Four consecutive cross cuts".

Vivid light effects illuminate the walls around the battlefield, then fade away.

At the same time, the HP bar on the scorpion's head disappeared completely.

While struggling, the huge brown body fell backwards, and suddenly stopped at an unnatural angle—

Then there was a huge sound like glass shattering, and it exploded into tiny polygonal fragments.

This is the "death" of this world. Ephemeral, concise, a kind of total annihilation that leaves no trace.

He glanced at the yellow font and the list of items that appeared in the center of his line of sight, showing the experience points gained, he swung the sword from side to side and put it in the scabbard behind him. Then he took a few steps back, until his back touched the maze wall before sliding slowly to the ground.

First, let out the air that was stuffed in your chest, and then close your eyes tightly.

Perhaps it was the fatigue from fighting alone for a long time, and a heavy tingling sensation came from the depths of his temples.

After shaking his head vigorously a few times to get rid of the tingling sensation, he opened his eyes again.

The small glowing timetable in the lower right corner of the line of sight shows that the time has passed three o'clock in the afternoon.

If I don't leave the battlefield now, I won't be able to finish the beta test before four o'clock.

At that time, the dizziness of forced logout is not good.

"It's time to log out..."

Although no one would hear him, he muttered to himself and stood up slowly.

At this time, the faint firelight shone on his face, so that he could barely see his face.

He has black and thick short-medium hair, thick eyebrows raised rebelliously slightly upward, long and slightly curled eyelashes, a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, a sharp nose, and pink lips like rose petals. have fair skin...

The little finger was raised straight, and then waved straight down. This is the action that calls out the game's "main screen window".

A rectangle glowing purple immediately appeared with a bell-like sound effect.

In the slender rectangular window in the initial state, there will be several menu labels on the left, and the humanoid outline on the right showing the status of your props and equipment.

And at the bottom of this menu there will be "Logout".

He moved his fingers to the bottom with a fairly familiar movement—

There was a pause.

"A little reluctant..." He muttered to himself.

Logging out this time also means resetting the account that was used during the beta testing period. He has been with him for so long, and he has devoted a lot of energy to it. Naturally, he will be reluctant.

But in the end he clicked "log out".
