Chapter 381 Solar, Super Big C
There are many benefits to being the president of the Adventurer's Guild.
Not to mention the most vulgar money, some powerful props stored within the guild can be used by Cid at will.
Although his official identity is just the president of the Bed City branch, his qualifications and strength make him have a high status in people's hearts.
For example, the ring he is wearing now is a rare item from the guild's inventory. It is an item that has been blessed by the God of Time and Space and was painstakingly made by the master forger and the master enchanter. People have given it a very pretentious and complicated name.
But West Germany generally prefers to call it: storage ring.
Although the storage space for such a precious prop may not be as big as a small utility room, it can be very effective at times. Sid has been "calling" it for several years.
For example, now he can take out magical props anytime and anywhere like Doraemon.
"Please, Solar, put on these equipment I carefully prepared."
He waved his hand, and a whole set of cool-looking armor and powerful weapons appeared on the ground. Among them was even the Sword of Night and Fire, which was a reward for the meteor shower event. Where did he get it from?
In fact, it’s not just the Sword of Night and Fire. The guild has more or less included some of the rewards from the meteor shower event.
For example, [Meteor Stick], [Gravity Ball], [Shooting Star] and so on.
"you"
Solar picked up a piece of armor at random. It fit his body perfectly in every aspect, as if it was tailor-made for him. There was no piece of equipment that he could not use right away.
How did this person know my body shape?
Don't underestimate Cid's intelligence network! The Adventurer's Guild has collected the physical data of all the afterimages that have appeared in the Thane Dungeon. Whether it's how broad Solar's chest muscles are or how strong his thighs are, the Adventurer's Guild knows it all!
These equipment were specially selected by Sid. They are all masterpieces of enchantment. Although they are not the guild's most valuable treasures - after all, the real treasures are protected by the president - they can more or less play a positive role in battle.
Since he has decided to assist Solar, he must make comprehensive preparations.
However, the other party gave a response that he had never expected.
"I'm sorry to waste your kindness, but I won't change my equipment." Solar shook his head.
"Why?" Sid raised his eyebrows, not understanding why anyone would not want good equipment even though it was delivered to their doorstep.
Could it be that everything Solar was wearing was top-grade? No, Cid was very confident in his eyesight. He could tell at a glance that all the equipment on the other party was just ordinary protective gear without any special effects.
Then again, Solar entered Anor Londo wearing this kind of equipment?
Facing his doubts, Solar patted his chest and said sincerely:
"My faith in the sun will protect me, and I'm used to my current equipment."
Cid and the human-faced sun on Solar's chest looked at each other silently, nodded, and put away their equipment.
He understood the other party's mentality and respected the power of this belief. He thought that he could not abandon stronger equipment for the sake of belief, but he still wanted to complain:
The face painted on the sun really makes it hard for me to be serious.
However, some of the potions with amplifying effects that he gave were accepted by the other party, which was a good thing.
The journey from here to the boss battle site is not far. The monsters to be dealt with on the way are gargoyles, giant guards and many silver knights.
Because of Gong Qiying's mercy, the two giants that could release great recovery in front of the Ornstein duo boss battlefield in the game were not brought up, but placed somewhere in the castle.
On the way to the castle, Cid and Solar had their first collaboration.
A series of amplifying magic was cast on Solar almost instantly. The strength amplified by the amplifying magic was increased according to the strength of the amplified person, and his own strength was obviously able to make perfect use of these magics.
In a flash, the gargoyle's hard wrist was cut off, whereas before it could only be cut in half!
The thrown lightning spear can blast a deep hole in its chest, even though the gargoyle's resistance to lightning is slightly higher than other elements.
When it wanted to fly into the sky, Sid, who was wandering around to restrain another gargoyle, turned around and used the [Gravity Ball] to hit it, and used gravity to pull the gargoyle whose feet were already off the ground back!
But he seemed to have overestimated his own strength. The gargoyle swung its arms and Sid almost fell to the ground. He quickly used other magic.
Several wizard hands, which were much larger than normal, came together and instantly grabbed the monster's legs and held them tightly. At this time, Solar rushed over and cut off the gargoyle's head with a sword.
But in just a moment, the two gargoyles were completely killed with the cooperation of the two.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Sid raised his hand.
Solar was stunned for a moment, then his arm was grabbed and he high-fived the other party, which was considered a celebration.
But he also has his own celebration rituals.
"Praise the sun!"
After killing a strong enemy, he would strike this pose, as if to cheer himself up or to pay tribute to the enemy.
Sid shook his head. He didn't feel anything about this kind of performance art. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed, but not in a malicious way.
Fortunately, there are not many people who can make Solar praise the sun later.
The giant guards guarding the castle gate were also easily defeated. In fact, they didn't have to fight because the side door that Sid and his men wanted to go through was too small and the giants couldn't get in.
The Silver Knights are a tough nut to crack. In order to prepare for the upcoming tough battle, he has to find a way to prevent Solar from wasting any element bottle.
Why didn't he just cast healing magic on Solar? Because the opponent's physical fitness was too strong, the magic power consumed to treat his injuries was far more than that of an ordinary person, and he would have to drink several bottles of potion in a row. Overall, the element bottle was the most cost-effective.
So after entering the castle, the two of them started to act cautiously. The progress was slow at first, but as they became more familiar with the situation, the speed gradually increased.
Cid fully utilized the advantages of a supporting role and was sometimes able to make up for the damage, but he was somewhat lacking in strength and physique.
Take Leon for example, he can wrestle with the gargoyle and even gain certain advantages with his skills, while Sid's power will be completely suppressed by the gargoyle.
The reason for this was that he had washed the spots with teardrop larvae before coming.
He transferred most of his strength to intelligence which affects the intensity of magic, and even gave up a small amount of vitality. His current strength is probably not as good as Drew in the strategy group.
After a fairly smooth progress, they skipped over the unexplored areas and finally arrived at the site of the boss battle.
The foggy door was right in front of him, and there was a suffocating feeling of oppression coming from behind the door, as if it was telling him not to approach.
"Wait a minute, give me some time."
Standing in front of the fog gate, Sid took out magic powder and wrote and drew on the ground. He was busy for a while. When he finished it, he found that it was a large-scale complex magic circle composed of many magic circles. This was not something that ordinary people could make.
Not only the magic circle, he also placed all kinds of strange props on the magic circle, such as dried lizards, dried pufferfish, and livers of unknown monsters. All of these have a strengthening effect when used in conjunction with the magic circle.
After finishing all this, Xide was sweating profusely, his face was slightly pale, and he said to himself: "I haven't tried it for a long time, and the consumption is a bit high."
Solar followed his instructions and stood inside the large magic circle. When the magic power pushed the formation to start working, he clenched his fists suddenly. Power was pouring out continuously. His fighting spirit was higher than ever before, and his body was as light as a swallow.
Sid suddenly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and kept coughing. When he looked again, the handkerchief was covered with blood.
He quietly put away the handkerchief without letting Solar see. If he hadn't been injured in the past, running such a large magic circle would not have caused such a great drain on him.
Cid also added a visual effect magic with almost no energy consumption among the many magics, and a golden aura like that of a Super Saiyan ignited around Solar.
"Very strong, this time there should be no problem."
Cid was very satisfied with his masterpiece, but in the final analysis, Solar himself was too strong. If it were someone else, they would not be able to withstand so much magic.
"You've been strengthened, you can go ahead!"
Passing through the fog gate and facing Ornstein and Smough, it would be impossible to say that Sid didn't have some emotional fluctuations in his heart.
But on a battlefield of this level, emotions might affect judgment, so he instantly cast a sedative on himself and his eyes became indifferent and emotionless.
When jumping down from the second floor, Ornstein made a super long distance slide and then a sharp thrust, and Elsa was killed instantly by this move!
"Bang!"
Solar appeared in front of Cid in the blink of an eye, and swung his shield at just the right angle and force to deflect the dragon hunting spear, allowing Cid to dodge the attack.
The two men didn't even look at each other. According to the tactics they had agreed on at the door, Solar fought with Ornstein, while Cid restrained Smo.
Cid threw out a skull made of rainbow fruit as a decoy, but Small smashed it to pieces with a hammer, and it seemed to have no effect at all.
But the goal has been achieved, and Small focused his attention on him.
"【Clone Magic】."
Several Sid clones appeared in the venue and fled in different directions to attract Smo.
True or false, Smoo looks bulky but his speed is still terrifying, while his clones deliberately run on their own legs, preparing for the fate of being hit one by one.
However, when the clone is smashed, another clone will be generated in the venue, and it seems endless. The most important thing is that each of Sid's clones can use magic independently.
Vines, Lubrication, Stiffness, Frenzy, Softening.
The effects of various magic on Smoo are also included in the intelligence collected by the Adventurer's Guild!
Adventurers only need one person to provide one piece of information, and when combined, it will be a huge amount of information, and you can always find something useful in it.
The situation looked good. There was no suspense in Solar's one-on-one match against any one of the duo. After West Germany's reinforcement, the time needed to win was shortened.
West Germany doesn't seem to have any problems either, and is concentrating on containing Small. I guess victory will come soon.
When he saw Solar hit Ornstein with a sword and the opponent's figure suddenly flickered, as if he could not exist, he suddenly realized: These two seemed to be phantoms?
It doesn’t matter. The effect of the sedative has worn off. Seeing the fight between Solar and Ornstein made his blood boil, and he couldn’t help but shout:
"Come on! Solar, good job!"
These words seemed to inspire the opponent, and he launched a fatal attack!
Ornstein's figure flashed again, and he half-knelt on the ground as if he had lost his strength. His body slowly turned into ashes and was about to drift away.
This was a simple and plain battle, without any gorgeous magic like the Full Moon Queen. The only visual effect was the lightning wrapped around the enemy's weapon. In other words, this battle was a competition of pure swords and strength.
Before Ornstein fell but disappeared, Smough gave up chasing Sid and ran towards Ornstein. He wanted to obtain the power of his comrades to start the "second stage".
Here, if the adventurer has the strength, he can even stop Smoo. As long as he waits until Ornstein completely disappears, the other party will not be able to get the power!
"Solaire, stop him!"
Sid also tried to block it with the gravity ball, but his body was even dragged forward by Small's huge force!
Of course Solar went to stop Smoa and no longer cared about Ornstein who had lost his fighting ability.
However, at this moment, crackling thunder and lightning sounded, and a beam of golden lightning flashed across the field.
"ah?"
Ornstein, who was originally half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly picked up the dragon hunting spear and fired a lightning shot that no one expected.
And the destined person was naturally West Germany.
The lightning gun swept straight past several clones and hit him accurately!
After doing all this, Ornstein completely turned into ashes and disappeared.
“This, this is not right.”
The lightning gun instantly drained Sid's vitality. At the moment before he died, he suddenly realized what a mistake he had just made.
First, Ornstein’s vitality should not be underestimated.
Second, none of my clones spoke, only my original body shouted!
Damn, I'm so stupid!
The moment he was resurrected at the campfire, Sid cast ten consecutive tranquilizer spells on himself.
He has a shortcoming, which is that his emotions easily fluctuate and he gets easily carried away when encountering things.
When they were still adventurers, he and Japar were recognized as the two volcanoes in the team.
"I thought after all these years, my temper would be calmer," Sid said mechanically, expressionless as if he had facial paralysis, "it turns out that I haven't encountered anything that makes my blood boil in all these years."
After ten calming spells as a base, he calculated the time and gave himself another one every fifteen minutes.
This time he would never expose himself and would definitely deal with the battle seriously and carefully.
Summoning Solar in spirit form at the door, he pushed all the way back to face the Royal City duo once again.
When Ornstein was knocked to the ground again, he sprinkled magic soybeans all over the sky from his storage ring. The beans grew into adult-like soybean soldiers the moment they hit the ground, and together with Solar, they stopped Smough.
But this time, Ornstein, who had lost his target, used his last bit of strength to crash into Smough.
Thunder and lightning danced wildly in the field, and Smooth's already huge body expanded again, and his whole body was surrounded by surging thunder and lightning.
He jumped into the sky and smashed down to the ground with a powerful move. Thunder and lightning immediately raged in the venue, and all the yellow bean soldiers and clones were wiped out.
Sid used the flying technique to fly into the sky in advance, but the lightning kept biting him like a snake, and was even faster than him.
Just as the lightning was wrapping around his ankle and was about to climb up his entire body, another lightning spear quickly hit the lightning. The collision between the two caused an explosion, and Sid was blown to the edge of the field.
It's no wonder that the lightning gun was thrown by Solar, and for this he was knocked away by Smoo's hammer.
Would you rather get hurt yourself than help others? Until this moment, Sid felt that the other person was a living person, not a dull afterimage like most others.
"Even if it's just to save face," Sid gritted his teeth, releasing the magic power in his body to make his robe rustle, "We have to win this time!"
His injuries prevented him from using high-level magic for a long time, so he had used a combination of various low-level magic to contain the enemy. However, Smoo now cannot be contained casually, and the effect of ordinary magic is minimal.
Solar now attracted the enemy's attention, but that didn't mean he could sit back and relax, because every attack from Smo was accompanied by lightning that covered almost the entire field, and he would be affected just by standing on the edge.
His companions will also show signs of fatigue after fighting with Ornstein. Solar is not invincible. If Cid really does not help, it is possible that they will fail.
At this time, he also has to help fight, at least cause some damage!
"But my current physical condition and magic power reserves."
If I release magic that can effectively cause damage, I'm afraid he will suffer hidden injuries first.
Wait, what if it wasn't pure magic?
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out the Sword of Night and Fire.
"Try not to let the enemy's attacks hit the ground!"
Sid shouted, and at this moment he remembered what Leon had told him, that he would use the east and west areas of the dungeon to defeat the dungeon.
Sean often comes up with some things that even he can't understand. Some of them look ordinary, but the effects are quite amazing.
He took out his grappling hook and used the Hound Step technique to dodge the lightning and came behind Smo, who was fighting fiercely with Solar. This kind of intense scene only appeared in legends.
A magic-amplifying pyroxene stone shield suddenly appeared above Sid's head. He raised his magic wand and meteorite wand, and released the [Magic Realm] and his own magic in superposition to enhance the power of magic.
A necklace made of fragments of the Warrior Pot was hung around his neck, his robe was blown open, and the prop version of the Golden Tree of Oath fell to the ground and was automatically used.
All this was done in almost a few seconds, and everything came from the guild's inventory. After that, Cid took a stance with the Sword of Night and Fire in his hand, and the azure magic gathered on the blade.
This is a derivative skill of the combat skill [Stance of Night and Fire], similar to a certain origin magic.
Comet Azril!
The surging torrent of magic power hit Smoo's giant body, and the latter shook, then turned around and smashed over!
Sid had already prepared to dodge, thinking: It works! It can cause damage! That's why he turned around and attacked me!
After chasing him for a while, Small turned his attention to Solar. Sid used the same trick again and attracted the enemy's attention.
This goes on and on, like dancing on the edge of a knife. Everything seems to be going well.
But he still made a mistake for a moment, and his internal injuries caused him to cough uncontrollably, and he was killed by lightning on the ground.
In this battle, you cannot get hurt at all, because a small beam of lightning on the ground can be fatal, let alone for a truly fragile magician like Sid in the traditional sense.
There is no chance of being discouraged. Now that a stable strategy has been found, the rest will be left to time and luck.
Trying again and again brings about the continuous accumulation of experience.
From the beginning, he killed monsters steadily and advanced through the map. Later on, Cid could even run all the way with Solar, as skillfully as if he was just walking back home.
Later on, he even had the ability to predict where the monster would appear and the direction of its first attack, which seemed incredible.
When fighting the boss, he tried to switch opponents with Solar, allowing Solar to defeat the slightly weaker Smough first.
As a result, the battle situation was not ideal. Ornstein's strength exceeded Sid's expectations, especially his terrifying speed and superb spear skills that were impossible to defend against. Every move he made was like hunting an ancient dragon. During the battle, Sid even had the illusion that "I am a dragon?"
But if only he were a real dragon, he wouldn't have died from being hit by the dragon hunting spear.
He began to think that it was not a good idea to exchange some vitality levels for intelligence.
Out of desperation, he put on the armor originally prepared for Solar and changed back to his opponent.
He couldn't quite remember how many challenges this was and felt a little dazed, as if he was about to turn into a zombie.
Cid watched as he failed to stop Smough from absorbing Ornstein's remaining power. The opponent's body grew larger and taller once again, so he could only dodge back and forth in the arena, attacking back and forth with Solar, pulling Smough back and forth.
"Tsk, another mistake."
He no longer needed to use sedation because he was too mentally exhausted to have any other thoughts. He only felt a little upset when he made a mistake.
Looking at Smoo holding a sledgehammer and transforming into a heavy tank rushing towards him, Sid sighed.
“It’s boring.”
I have to do it again this time, so why don’t I take a break first?
When Smo was within a few meters of him, lightning burned his white hair, and he closed his eyes and prepared to die.
But at this time, the expected impact did not come, instead he was pushed away.
"What are you still standing there for!"
When Sid opened his eyes, he saw Solar being knocked out, and he was rescued by the other party.
"hiss"
He gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and cast a recovery spell at Solar.
"Because you always save me, I feel embarrassed to give up."
Sid took out a crystal from his storage ring. This was a reward an adventurer got when he accidentally killed a monster in an encounter. The crystal contained a powerful ancient magic called [Meteor]. Crushing it could release this magic on the enemy.
But the disadvantage is that it is one-time only and will drain the user's vitality, so the adventurer finally chose to sell it to the guild.
"I just need this last shot. Let's try it. Even if I die, at least I can see the enemy die before me."
Sid stared at Smo and was about to crush the crystal.
"boom!"
Smoo smashed down with his hammer, and this time the lightning and thunder that erupted was greater than ever before. Sid's instinct made him quickly rush into the sky, and he didn't even have time to pinch the crystal.
"What's going on? Is there still potential?"
His face turned ugly. Logically speaking, they had been fighting for such a long time, it should be over, right?
How powerful were the heroes in ancient times?
When the thunder and lightning dissipated, Sid's ferocious expression suddenly changed, from anger to surprise.
Because the oppressive feeling that previously shrouded the venue has disappeared without a trace!
Looking back below, Smalls maintained the posture of smashing the sledgehammer out, but did not move.
The next second, his huge body fell to the ground with a dull thud, and the sledgehammer in his hand began to dissipate.
Eh? Dead?
Small's body suddenly trembled, and Sid became nervous again, thinking that the other party was faking his death, so he quickly stepped back.
However, it was just someone crawling out from underneath, undoubtedly Solar.
The equipment on his body bore traces of having been through many battles, but he still looked so energetic.
When he saw Sid, Solar raised his hands and said loudly: "Praise the sun!"
The familiar declaration of victory. At this moment, Sid no longer felt that this posture was awkward. The sun's rays shone in from the window, enveloping Solar, like a perfect statue of a god.
"You are so handsome!"
Sid's emotions were easily excited, and at this moment he was too excited, so he went straight over and gave the other person a hug.
Finally I won!
Solar laughed out loud, and Sid was infected and started laughing too.
“Win!”
At the same time, the tightly closed door at the end of the venue was slowly opening.
