Chapter 314: Countering the opponent's moves is the fun of Sean
We must kill the enemy right now! Who knows what he will come up with next!
Matilda grabbed Fingerly's head. Although she didn't say anything, the other party could read her meaning from her red eyes.
But these strange weapons are not necessarily summoned by the Cursed One. Even if we kill him here, maybe even stranger weapons will appear later.
But he didn't dare say this, because he knew how destructive the power of his teammates could be when they became manic. So he sighed and nodded, agreeing to kill the Cursed One here.
Bullets poured down like a rainstorm. There was an open and empty area all around, and there was no place to hide. It was also unclear whether the building materials of the roof of the Deep Church could withstand these attacks that could penetrate even mid-level magic shields.
But people couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Matilda transformed nearly half of the volume of her armor into a giant semicircular shield to protect everyone. Alayya cast various magic spells to enhance its defense, and also generated a hurricane fruit on the scarecrow to counter the Gatling gun, trying to use the wind to weaken the power of the bullets - people used to do the same thing when dealing with arrows.
The giant shield vibrated violently under the impact of the barrage of bullets, constantly being hit by bullet holes and constantly repairing itself. It looked undamaged but all of Matilda's physical strength was consumed. When the shooting finally stopped, she quickly drank half a bottle of physical strength potion.
It wasn't that she didn't want to drink the remaining half, but that she couldn't drink it because the Curse-Binder's huge sword had already pierced into the giant shield!
"Good opportunity, Matilda, you hold down his weapon!"
Fingri quickly flashed out a huge shield, stood behind the Cursed One and launched a crazy slash. The latter was hit a few times and immediately raised his shield to fight back. The adventurer was knocked back a step, but secretly used the magic [Kalia Pierce].
A blue magic sword formed in his hand and thrust forward suddenly, piercing through the shield and causing damage to the Cursed One. This time the damage seemed to be higher than his previous crazy slashing.
"You still have to use magic to deal with heavily armored enemies."
Another important reason why Fingri, a magic swordsman, likes the Sen Dungeon is that after his brain was damaged, he can hardly use magic. If he uses it forcibly, the effect of the magic will be greatly deviated.
However, the magic he obtained in the Sen Dungeon did not have this problem. The Kalia Pierce he used was exactly the same as that used by others, with only differences in size and power.
The most important thing is that you don’t have to stand still to cast the spell!
This made him feel like he had finally become a normal person, and he felt a little touched.
Because of the damage, the Bound One's strength surged, and he wanted to use brute force to destroy the giant shield and take back the weapon, but Matilda withdrew in time and led the people to retreat. Her heavy punch missed and made him stagger. Seeing this, Fingri stabbed him again.
Just as he was about to finish off the opponent, he heard the sound of the Gatling gun turning. Fingerly was startled and quickly stepped back to dodge, but when he looked up, he found that the opponent had not fired at all.
Damn it, the monsters here can lie!
The Cursed One seized the opportunity to distance himself from the adventurer, and when the giant eagle once again carried him into the sky, a barrage of bullets poured down, and this time it was real.
This time they still had to rely on Matilda. Fingri tried to build a high-level magic shield, but it was too late to form. Alayya released it in advance, but it only lasted for a dozen seconds.
Bloodborne's bullets are quite special, containing mercury and the user's blood. They are more like a product of metaphysics than technology, so it seems no problem that they do more damage to magic shields.
Alayya looked at Matilda who was drinking stamina potion, and decided to help. So the scarecrow stuck his hands into the ground, and a row of hard trees called "iron wood" grew in front of the giant shield. The biggest feature of this thing is that it is hard. In ancient times, it could be used to build city walls.
However, since Ironwood is a completely physical defense and has no resistance to magic, it was gradually eliminated, and only botanists like Alayya would preserve its seeds.
Although the iron wood is very hard, it is not as strong as Matilda's armor. The opponent's armor has both physical and magical properties, so the iron wood should not be able to hold on for a while. She thought so, but a magical thing happened.
The sound of clanging continued to be heard until the barrage of bullets stopped and the Cursed One fell to the ground again. People then realized that Tiemu had actually blocked all the bullets!
What's going on?
Fingri's eyes turned, and he seemed to understand something. He suddenly asked Alaiya for a piece of iron board, and pulled a piece of armor down from Matilda. Then he ran back and said, "You guys fight first, I'll go verify my guess!"
The sound of musket fire came from behind, and just two minutes later he ran back and said excitedly:
"Those strange weapons have high damage to magical creations, but the damage to ordinary objects without magic is halved!"
The adventurers' eyes lit up, they finally found a way to break the impasse.
I told you, it's impossible for Sion to come up with something completely unsolvable and disgusting. There will always be a solution.
Since the area was open and there were no shelters, they built their own. Alayya quickly built several rows of ironwood on the roof for people to take shelter. At this time, Fingri shouted again:
"Once that guy flies up into the sky, his companions will attack. Alayya, kill the giant eagle before the big guy catches it but takes off!"
Although Alayya didn't understand why she had to wait for such a long time, she still did as she was told, and then she understood.
When the Binder grabbed the giant eagle, the Gatling gun on the platform was already turning, ready to connect with him seamlessly!
Matilda used her great strength to uproot the ironwood and smashed it over. The poor giant eagle was knocked to the ground, and the Cursed One fell down with it.
At the same time, the Old Yharnam hunter above also opened fire. He would prioritize locking onto the adventurer who was closest and had no cover, such as Fingri next to the Binder.
“Da da da—”
Fingri barely held up the Curse-Binder's great shield and refused to retreat, just to let the Gatling gun's bullets hit the Curse-Binder!
After the previous battle, he had realized that the big guy in front of him was not a human, but a controlled armor, or a puppet.
These puppets usually need magic to move, right? Then wouldn't Gatling's mercury bullets be enough?
“Very good idea.”
In the city lord's room, Gong Qiying looked at Fingri with admiration. In the past, the people with the best adventurous qualities he had met were Leon and Luluwo. Now, it seems that Fingri is also a rare talent. He really wants him to stay in Sean forever to perform for him.
"As expected of a gold rank, the strength is really strong. Even Gatling has been brought out by [Strong and Weak Balance]."
Gong Qiying gave the authority [Strong and Weak Balance] the ability to mobilize the monster resource library, which can automatically control monsters of C+ and below, making it convenient to adjust the difficulty according to the strength of the adventurer. As a result, this authority likes to do some work just like its master, and took out muskets and other things.
Gong Qiying's original plan was that the monster equipment could only be enhanced to the point of a continuous-fire crossbow. At most, he could make some fixed crossbows such as bed crossbows. If the adventurer was too strong, he would spawn an incarnation of a monster hunter light/heavy crossbow.
"Items like muskets, which are too large, are really out of consideration. They will be removed from the shelves after today."
If there were muskets in the Deep Cathedral, why didn't they just run to Anor Londo and say to Gwyn, "My lord, times have changed"?
Although in the end there is a 100% chance that Gwyn will use the Sunlight Gun to change him back, it is forbidden to change size at will.
"It's hard for Fingerly and his men to challenge the Industrial Revolution. They deserve more rewards."
He stared at the picture on the crystal ball. When the adventurers finally defeated the Bound Ones under a hail of bullets, climbed up the platform and had a fast and furious chase with the Old Yharnam hunters who used pile drivers as weapons and narrowly won, Gong Qiying finally made up his mind.
In addition to the fixed reward of [Soul of the Bound], he increased the amount of souls obtained by some adventurers, gave each person an experience candy, and also gave them a flame metamorphosis gem as a reminder, as well as a lake rune from Bloodborne, the specific effect of which was a single-digit percent reduction in physical damage.
In the setting of Bloodborne, runes are transcribed from the voices of superiors and need to be memorized in the mind using special tools. It is hard to say whether there will be any side effects, such as hearing the sound of a giant octopus playing a recorder in the deep sea.
But Gong Qiying has experimented with his own clone, and as long as the runes memorized in his mind are not set too extreme, such as the rune of [Blood Intoxication] that makes people thirst for blood, there will be no problem. Runes like [Lake] that protect adventurers are very safe.
There is no superior in this world, so there is no need to worry about mental problems. Gong Qiying is unlikely to release unreliable things to harm adventurers.
A rune of unknown meaning suddenly flashed through Fingri's mind, and by the time he reacted, it had disappeared.
"An illusion?"
There seemed to be some subtle changes in his body, but also seemed not to be, so he stopped paying attention to it. The erratic fighting style of the Old Yharnam hunters really exhausted him. It felt more tiring than fighting the Cursed Bound.
He stood on the high platform and overlooked the entire roof of the church.
The good news is that his previous conjecture was correct. The setting of the Cursed One escaping from the battle in the middle of the battle, in addition to causing trouble for the adventurers combined with the monsters on the road, actually led them onto the right path.
In other words, the troubles caused by the Cursed Ones and monsters are a test to lead the ignorant adventurers on the right path. If the Cursed Ones were not hanging so conspicuously in the sky, most people would probably get lost to death.
Fingri had heard that the strength of the monsters in the Senn Dungeon would change according to the strength of the entrants, so he speculated that other adventurers would not have such a "happy" experience as they did when they entered the roof of the Deep Cathedral. The weapons of the wandering soldiers might not be so over-the-top, and the stats of the cursed ones would not be too powerful.
On the contrary, the Cursed One's methodical and bold fighting style is quite admirable, and it leaves one with a lasting aftertaste after the fight.
"Another great work from the Thane Dungeon. This day's work was well spent."
After arriving at the high platform which was originally set as a bed crossbow by Gong Qiying but is now a Gatling gun, the exploration of the entire roof has actually come to an end. By going around this area and going further back, you can come to a terrace. The door here can finally be pushed open, and there are stairs leading downwards inside.
A cold wind blew in from inside the door, accompanied by a faint whispering sound.
The route from now on is clear: either go back and clear the unexplored forks, or go inside the church.
No one can resist the charm of moving forward!
Fingerly and his companions walked down the stairs and encountered an extended corridor halfway up the stairs. This was another fork in the road, and they finally chose to continue going down.
At the end is a small house. It’s hard to tell what it is used for, but the door next to the house looks familiar.
"Wait, no way?"
Fingri raised his eyebrows and pushed the door. The characters "The door does not move at all" appeared on the door. There was a mechanism next to the door. After pulling it, the door slowly opened and a familiar scene appeared in front of people.
The bonfire of the Purification Church crackled and the adventurers' eyes widened.
"We've come all the way around here, and now we're back?"
“What a strange map!”
