Diablo - Fang Zheng is of course familiar with this series, magnificent magic, cult graphics and settings, plus endless grinding, this is also the impression most players have of this world. However, any player who has studied this world in depth will know that this world... just looks cool.

In fact, just as its name suggests, this is a dark world full of death and destruction, and there is no way back. The struggles of mankind will only bring temporary peace, but this period will not be long before it is ruthlessly broken. Just like the sun will eventually rise and the ice and snow will eventually melt.

And more importantly, this is a world that is very unfriendly to the protagonist.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that in the game, the protagonists can kill gods and Buddhas who stand in their way. But in fact, throughout the three generations of Diablo, almost few protagonists have a good ending.

Among the three protagonists in the first part of Diablo, the warrior inserted Diablo's soul stone into his own brain, trying to suppress Diablo's evil soul with his strong will. Then he was corrupted and fell by Diablo, and then became Diablo's resurrection prop. The other two were not much better, either they were transformed into evil spirits after death, or they succumbed to the evil will and became corrupted and fell, and finally became bosses and were killed by the protagonist of the second part. Of course, the successors of the protagonists also did not have a good end... Killing the devil and going home to marry the princess is really a daydream, these people either disappeared or were killed.

In other worlds, the protagonist's halo can save lives, but in this world, the protagonist's halo can be fatal!

It is precisely because of this that after figuring out the world, Fang Zheng’s first reaction was relief… Fortunately, I am not the protagonist!

If he remembered correctly, he should have traveled through the third part of Diablo. The plot was now at the opening part. A meteor fell from the sky and smashed the Tristram Cathedral. Deckard Cain's granddaughter Leah gathered militia to try to find her grandfather. At this time, the protagonist Nephalem made a brilliant appearance, and then embarked on a road of no return...well, a road of no return.

Although Fang Zheng didn't remember the plot of this episode very clearly, he believed that this unlucky Nephalem would never have a good ending in the future. Even if he defeated Diablo, what would happen? Anyway, this world was full of hostility towards the protagonist. He would either be killed by assassins sent by old friends, or die from the uncontrollable magic, or be corrupted by evil forces and become a boss who gave equipment to the next generation of protagonists...

Whoever wants this unlucky protagonist halo can have it, but Fang Zheng respectfully declines it.

“Boom boom boom…!!”

Just as Fang Zheng finished drinking the broth, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then saw a militiaman running into the hotel.

"Fang Zheng! Commander Rumford wants you to go to the gate immediately! Those damned undead appear again! We have to stop them!"

"I see!"

After hearing what the militiaman said, Fang Zheng didn't say anything else. He quickly stood up and followed the militiaman out of the hotel. The rain had stopped by then, and a few people could be seen around. However, most of them looked nervous and anxious. But Fang Zheng was in no mood to care about these people at the moment. He came to the gate and saw that Captain Rumford had also changed his clothes and was directing other militiamen to build roadblocks. When he saw Fang Zheng, Rumford immediately waved his hand.

"Quick, Fang Zheng, come and help us. We just repelled a wave of undead attacks. They... damn it!"

Before Rumford could finish his words, Fang Zheng saw the roadblock on the right being smashed with a "bang", and then several zombies slowly walked in, their eyes glowing, and they staggered towards the gate. Seeing this scene, the other militiamen suddenly became nervous. They held their weapons tightly in their hands, and looked at the monster in front of them without daring to breathe.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Fang Zheng's ears, and then a line of information appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

[Scene Mission Trigger: Guardian]

[The dark and evil forces have arrived, the flame of civilization is like a candle in the wind, and the test of doomsday is coming. All you can do is accept the challenge and face the dark future (resist the attacks of undead creatures and protect the safety of the town. If the mission is successful, you will learn skills +1 and dimension points +1)]

The mission is finally here!

Seeing the task in front of him, Fang Zheng also took out his Frostmourne. However, seeing the others looking as if they were facing a great enemy, he was still a little puzzled. Fang Zheng's understanding of this world was limited to the game, the plot and the settings. As for the strength of the monsters in this game, he didn't know much. But in Fang Zheng's opinion, there was really nothing to be particularly vigilant about these living dead. They were very slow, and they were not like the zombies in the world of Resident Evil that would mutate and evolve. If they were the leaders and elites with halos, they might be a little threatening. But would these living dead who walked with a shaky foot make a battle-hardened warrior like Rumford so nervous?

Although he was confused, Fang Zheng also focused his attention and watched the living dead in front of him with vigilance. He knew very well that he had just arrived in this world and his understanding of this place was definitely not as good as that of the old men like Rumford. Since the other party was so nervous, he certainly would not let down his guard.

After all, it's better to be careful in everything.

Although the zombies were moving very slowly, their purpose was quite clear. They walked straight towards the gate. At this moment, even Fang Zheng tightly grasped his sword, swallowed his saliva, and felt his heart pounding. This could be said to be the first serious battle since he came to the other world. He didn't know how far he could go.

Although Fang Zheng could still activate the Lich King's Soul Stone four times, he would not use it at this time. The Living Dead were only the primary monsters in the Dark World. Would he use it to attack the Lich King? Isn't that like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito?

"superior!!"

As the zombies entered the attack circle, Rumford roared, raised his sword and slashed at the zombies. Fang Zheng also gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt of Frostmourne, and chopped at the zombies in front of him.

“Bang!!”

Oh my god!!

Until the sword was chopped down, Fang Zheng was stunned. He finally understood why a group of zombies who walked slower than an old grandmother would make an old warrior like Rumford feel like facing a formidable enemy.

To describe it in one word: hard!

This guy is so hard!!

Although most of the special abilities of Frostmourne in Fang Zheng's hand could not be used because the Soul Stone was not activated, it was still a top-notch sword. When Fang Zheng was dealing with the Silver Knights before, Frostmourne cut through their armor as easily as cutting butter. But when Fang Zheng chopped the living dead with this sword, it felt like he was chopped on a tire! He only felt that Frostmourne only cut into the muscle, and then it got stuck!

Where can there be such a tough living dead?

But there was more that surprised Fang Zheng.

"roar--"

Although the zombie moved slowly, it was not a target. It growled, then opened its arms and grabbed Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng quickly drew back his sword and blocked it in front of himself. But what Fang Zheng did not expect was that when the zombie's claws hit Frostmourne, he felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and then Fang Zheng was actually sent flying!

“Woo!!”

Fang Zheng bumped his head against the door behind him, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart. He finally understood why this group of zombies, who seemed to be staggering and whose speed was not much faster than a turtle, could actually wipe out an entire militia team!

Apart from being slow, these bastards have no weaknesses at all!

Seeing that Nephalem could kill two zombies with one sword in the game, Fang Zheng thought that these zombies were all soft persimmons that could be easily bullied. But now, they may not be as weird as the mutated zombies in Resident Evil, but judging from their hardness and strength, they are definitely tyrant-level!

"Fang Zheng! Stand up quickly and don't let them surround us!!"

Hearing Captain Rumford's shout, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, rolled to his feet, raised Frostmourne in his hand and faced the living dead again.

But this time Fang Zheng learned his lesson. He did not fight the zombie head-on, because Fang Zheng had discovered that the zombies in the dark world were strong and defensive, but their speed was a disadvantage. Therefore, he did not attack immediately this time, but let the zombie attack him first. Then, when the zombie raised his hands, Fang Zheng raised his sword and chopped off the zombie's hands.

This time, Frostmourne finally showed the power of its artifact. Although the arm of the zombie was also very hard, it was completely cut off by Fang Zheng's full force attack. The zombie without hands was like a tiger without teeth. Although it shook its head and tried to attack Fang Zheng again, Fang Zheng was smart this time and chopped off its head with a sword. The zombie shook a few times and then fell to the ground without a sound.

There is finally a way.

Seeing this zombie fall, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he quickly picked up his weapon and ran towards the other zombies.

At this time, Captain Rumford and other militiamen were just struggling with these zombies. Fang Zheng only took a glance and understood why they could not defeat the zombies.

Weapons don't work!

Fang Zheng was holding Frostmourne, and it was hard to chop these zombies. These people were holding only the most common standard weapons, so it was even more difficult. Fang Zheng saw with his own eyes that Captain Rumford used his sword to chop the zombies. It took four or five chops to create a few scars, just like a knife chiseling on a stone slab!

"Captain Rumford!!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's shout, Rumford glanced at Fang Zheng. When he saw the zombie lying at Fang Zheng's feet, his eyes lit up and he nodded to Fang Zheng immediately. At the same time, he took a half step forward and swung his sword to restrain the zombie in front of him. Fang Zheng took advantage of the gap when Rumford was distracting the zombie and came behind it, then swung his sword and chopped off the zombie's head.

The militiamen were also experienced, and seeing that the weapons in Fang Zheng's hands could deal with the zombies, they naturally took on the role of MT without saying a word. With the cooperation of both sides, it didn't take long before the group of zombies were wiped out and completely killed.

"call……"

Fang Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead only after the last zombie fell to the ground. At the same time, he could see white mist-like gas emerging from the bodies of the zombies. They entangled and turned into human-like faces, and then were sucked into the sword of Frostmourne as if attracted by a magnet. At the same time, in front of Fang Zheng's eyes, a line of system prompts appeared.

[Soul Power +10...Soul Power +13...Soul Power +12...]

Done!

Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about how to complete the Frostmourne mission, but now it seems that completing the mission is not difficult.

"bite."

Just as Fang Zheng was absorbing the soul power, the system prompt sounded again in his ears, and then another line of words appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

[Scenario Mission "Guardian" Progress 1 Completed]

[Users receive skill rewards]

[User gets Dimension Point +1]

【Please select skills】

[Frost Strike][Crusader Strike]

choose?

Looking at the line of prompts in front of him, Fang Zheng was stunned. Aren't these two skills the skills of the Death Knight and Paladin in Yamaguchi Mountain? Fang Zheng could understand the Death Knight, but what the hell was the Paladin?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but pat his head and secretly sighed that he was stupid. The soul stone he had embedded now was Arthas. Wasn't Arthas a paladin before he became the Lich King?

But...how do I choose?
