Chapter 30: Sea City
Time quietly came to midnight, and the system prompt sound rang loudly in the ears of every player.
[Time in some dungeons passes faster than in the outside world. Currently, the dungeon time has reached midnight. We are testing whether the total number of ghost warriors killed by all players in Sapporo has reached 100.]
[Test completed, current status: 195/100 Oni]
[The conditions for killing 100 ghost warriors have been met. The gate of the sea city at the port of Sapporo has been opened. At midnight every day, players in the dungeon can choose to challenge the dungeon boss - Ghost General. ]
[If a player uses skills such as wall-penetration or teleportation to leave the city during a boss battle, the boss battle will be declared a failure.]
[Currently remaining challenge opportunities: two]
[When all opportunities are used up, the instance is declared a failure and Sapporo falls]
[The game will enter the evening rest time. The ghost warrior will not appear until the nightfall of the next day. Players can choose to challenge the boss or rest in peace. 】
"Leaving the city is considered a failure, but you will have two more chances to challenge." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows. "Besides, our 'Loving Family' guild just happens to have a player who can walk through walls."
"What you mean is..." Yuri followed his thoughts and looked at Urushihara Ritsu.
"As expected of you, Deer-kun. You agree with me..." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly, "I can go in first to test the boss's skills, and then use the crows to return to the port, so that we can avoid unnecessary casualties."
Anson Lu thought for a moment, "By the way, can you take someone with you to fly?"
"I tried it, it works, but only for one person."
"Then take me in."
"Okay, I'll take Lu Jun into the city tonight. We can try out the boss's skills and then come back together using my skills."
"Wait, you didn't plan this for a long time, and planned to leave me alone in there to be fucked by the Boss?"
"...This," Urushihara Ritsu was stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly, "How could it be possible? Moreover, once someone leaves the city, even if the challenge fails, the boss should disappear temporarily."
"Oh, that's true."
Anson Deer looked relieved and nodded slightly.
Yuri stared at Anson's cheek, put his hand on his chin, and asked after a while:
"Which one is you?"
"Ah?" Anson Lu felt a little embarrassed being stared at.
"nothing."
Yuri turned his eyes away, moving his gaze to the small book in his hand.
"Let's go," Urushihara Ritsu said, "First, let's negotiate with the people over there, lest they think we want to die in vain."
"Yes." Anson Lu looked towards Yu Mingdao.
Coincidentally, Yu Mingdao and Adel were also looking at him.
The three men's eyes met. Anson Lu's gaze was calm and indifferent, while the other two's gazes were a little turbulent. The boss battle was about to begin, and this was the last level of the copy.
This time, how many people will die depends entirely on Anson Lu's judgment.
Because not long ago, they had reached a consensus to hand over the command of this boss battle to Anson Lu, this... 17-year-old Chinese high school student.
…………
…………
20 minutes later, Sapporo city, port.
A wide wooden bridge extends outward from the harbor, with lanterns on both sides of the bridge, emitting a warm orange-red light at night, illuminating the endless tides and the bridge itself.
At the end of the wooden bridge is a city.
This is a huge city, like a castle from the Edo period in Japan, and it looks particularly exaggerated.
It stood there on the dark sea. The lanterns hung on the bridge were particularly bright at night. The orange-red tide, with white waves, continuously hit the outer edge of the castle, making a long, light sound.
The huge city gate was ajar, as if it sensed the arrival of the players. It slowly opened to both sides, and the whole city was shaking violently, as if a giant beast from the Edo period was awakening, and the snoring sound was loud enough to shake the sea.
“Crack—”
Looking around, the city was empty, and one could vaguely see a giant figure nearly six meters tall, covered in red armor, sitting cross-legged in the center of the city.
The giant figure lowered his head deeply, with his face buried in the shadow of his helmet.
Its breathing was so heavy, and its huge body rose and fell slightly in the gray-black shadows with the rhythm of its breathing. From a distance, it looked like a mountain shaking.
"That's amazing..." Anson Lu asked in a low voice, "Did this city really exist?"
Urushihara Ritsu's deep eyes reflected the brightly lit city, and he answered:
"Of course not, Lu Jun, there is no such city in the original Sapporo."
"Oh, my brain short-circuited a bit." Anson Deer said.
Adel looked at the huge figure in the castle and couldn't help but take a breath. "You guys are planning to go in with just two people?"
"That's right. There are two chances of failure in the challenge, but if we die in the first challenge, it will be meaningless. The chance of winning the second time will only be lower." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly:
“So, the first opportunity can be used for intelligence gathering.
There's a good chance that the gates will be closed once we enter the city, but after trying out the boss's skills, I can use the crows I've placed outside to bring me and the captain back.
After the Deer Team and I figure out the Boss's attack patterns, we will slowly formulate a strategy in the next time limit and challenge it when we are fully prepared."
"I understand." Yu Mingdao looked at Anson Lu and said deeply, "Then be careful on your way."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Anson said. "We will be out in ten minutes at most. Don't worry."
"Let's go then, Deer-kun."
Urushihara Ritsu stretched out his index finger, and as if performing magic, a crow flew out from his fingertips. The crow flew to a corner of the wooden bridge and quietly watched the sea with its blood-red eyes.
Crow Gambler's sequence skill 1: Phantom Crow.
The effect of the skill is to create a crow, obtain the crow's vision and hearing, and be able to appear at the crow's position at any time at the cost of sacrificing the crow.
Not only that, Urushihara Ritsu can also move with one person, which Anson Lu has just tested. Otherwise, he would not dare to enter the city with Urushihara Ritsu.
The sea rose and fell slowly in the dark night. Under the gazes of nearly fifty players, Anson Lu and Urushihara Ritsu slowly walked into the huge city.
Then, the city gate closed.
[This boss battle has begun, and there are two players participating in the battle - Anson Lu and Urushihara Ritsu. ]
"roar!!!"
Soon, a roar loud enough to shake the sky, filled with rage, resounded from this sea city, and then spread in all directions, even the calm sea surface was stirred up by violent waves.
This also means that the boss of the copy, the Ghost General, has awakened.
If there were still people who were unwilling to hand over the command to Anson Lu, at this moment, everyone gave up the idea.
