Chapter 198: It Hurts a Bit
Though he is called Uncle, his appearance is not particularly old, looking like a strong man in his thirties.
However, the messy stubble on his chin does give off a bit of an uncle vibe.
Upon closer inspection, there are no characteristics of a monster—it’s as if he is a true human.
Could it be a perfect humanization? Unlike those impostors, has he cultivated it himself?
“Little girl, what are you looking at? If you keep dawdling, those guys below won’t agree.”
“Uncle, what kind of monster are you transformed from?” Seeing his familiarity, Starry couldn’t help but ask.
Generally speaking, after a transformation, the fighting style doesn’t differ much from before. Knowing his race might make it easier to deal with him.
As she spoke, Starry downed a high-grade HP potion.
+400
However, compared to her 8000+ health, that was insignificant.
Just in time, the 30-second cooldown on the Heart of Resurrection had also reset—use!
+4335
Her health bar rose to three-quarters, leaving the danger zone.
“Haha!” Uncle laughed heartily, shaking his head, “I’m not any monster, but a genuine human.”
“Human…?” Zane was a bit confused.
“To be precise, I’m a dead person. Little girl, is this your first time in Moonshadow City?”
“… Yes.”
“I thought so! No wonder you dared to confront the Enchantress… A newborn calf fears no tiger, and luckily you possess strength to match your courage.”
She had just heard the news upon getting on stage! If she had known earlier, she definitely wouldn’t have rushed out so soon.
But there was no helping it; Enchantress was of Silver Grade, and if she hadn’t acted decisively, the following opponents might be even harder to deal with.
After a moment of silence, the crowd below erupted.
“Kui, you’re not actually interested in that little rabbit, are you? Still waiting for her to recover?”
“If you ask me, she might be his illegitimate daughter!”
“Uncle, if you keep dragging this out, I might just crush you later!”
The uncle referred to as Kui scratched his messy hair, impatiently shouting, “Little fools, keep it down!”
Only then did the crowd quiet down significantly.
“Sorry for the trouble.” Kui rummaged through his head, “Is this your first time? You should know. Moonshadow City is a free city under the jurisdiction of Lord Cangshui Moban.”
“Of course, it’s not just Moonshadow; as long as it’s managed by that lord, it’s the same everywhere—anyone can come and go freely. But… it surprised me to see the Red Rabbit here.”
A free city? Indeed, one could see all kinds of monsters here. If there were an encyclopedia, a visit to Moonshadow City might yield a lot of entries. That means the other cities in the Dark Faction are mutually exclusive?
I wonder if the special skill of the Unwen Love Collar is ready again.
Use!
With the green number flashing, her health bar was officially full again.
Great, all skills except for Ice Flow Shield had also reset.
“Brother, I’m ready.” While speaking, she didn’t forget to check her information.
Undead · Kui
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 45
Description: Revived as a dead person, Kui identifies as undead, wandering in various dark places.
The information was very brief but explosive.
Both the Gold rarity and level 45 were not to be underestimated.
“Oh? Don’t you need to wait for that pretty collar to recharge? Seems like it’s only 30 seconds.”
“! You figured out the cooldown of the equipment’s special skill!? No thanks.” She ultimately declined his kindness.
Repeated use of the Resurrection Collar had already consumed a lot of special skill points; there was no energy left for another round.
There are two ways to recover special skill points: accumulate them through engaging in combat or drink potions to restore them.
“Is that so…” Kui opened his eyes wide and reached into his chest.
He pulled out a beautifully crafted grayish-silver ancient book.
He quickly flipped through the pages and stated seriously, “Let’s begin!”
As the words fell, Starry’s figure shot out, activating Thousand Flash Step immediately.
Her opponent was a Gold Grade powerhouse, leaving no room for negligence. Since he had taken out that book, it indicated he should be of a class like Mage.
When facing a mage, the first thing to do is to close the distance, and this stage was only about 25*25, meaning there was very limited distance to evade. Once closed in, escape would be very difficult.
Conversely, a mage’s area attacks could cover the entire field, so it became a race to see who was faster.
As she rapidly closed in, Kui smiled slightly, “Little girl, I think… you might have misunderstood something.”
Then, naturally, he used his right hand to pull out a hollow purple-red magic sword from the ancient book.
Clang!
In the next moment, the magic sword violently struck against the Qiu Yue Sword, their blades grinding as sparks erupted; in that instant of clash, the durability of the Qiu Yue Sword dropped by 3%!
What kind of non-mage uses a tome?!
Sizzle—!
Starry’s strength edged out just slightly, the magic sword was shattered, allowing her weapon to strike the undead.
-56
Still not under a hundred? Even with a block mitigating some damage, it shouldn’t be this little, right?
There was no time to think about the reasoning behind it; Starry immediately activated Ice Moon Slash, gathering the cold energy to control him first!
Yet Kui did not dodge, chanting, “Book of the Undead… the blade is about to pierce my body, please respond to the call of the undead, strengthen—defense!”
A beam of black light leaped out from the tome and enveloped him.
At the same time, the Qiu Yue Sword struck down,
-537
It was like smashing onto a rock; although the weapon itself was extremely sharp, the impact shocked her hands painfully.
His health bar dropped to 99%, of course, the little part afterward was invisible, but initially estimated to have at least 500,000 health.
Frost spread upward, and the effect shattered instantly, failing to freeze him.
Not only that, the purple-red reflection descended, and the undead struck back with the magic sword again.
Fortunately, the speed was not very fast, and she managed to miss the attack by stepping back.
After retreating several steps, since she couldn’t break his defense, she thought… spinning blade!
The weapon spun and flew out, Uncle’s eyes widened, is that the move to defeat the Enchantress? Interesting, interesting!”
He advanced fiercely, taking three steps forward with his left foot and tightly gripping the magic sword, while the ancient tome floated behind him, standing firm like a mountain.
Zane felt a bad premonition rise; could the spinning blade be countered? Clash, clash, clash!
The Qiu Yue Sword spun rapidly, colliding crazily with the magic sword—crack!
The magic sword was cut into two segments.
-189
-177
-185
…
Eight instances of three-digit damage quickly appeared.
“I’m going, it shattered again!” Uncle looked shocked, while debuff effects of armor-breaking floated around him.
The weapon flew back again,
-468
-492
-501
…
This time, the damage was significantly higher; indeed, it was this guy’s defense that was too high, likely due to that spell.
Kui seemed unconcerned, touching his wound and frowning, “It hurts a bit…”
Then, gray-black light burst forth from his hand, covering the cut.
+55000
His health, which was over 99%, went back to 100%.
“…” Zane was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Little rabbit, don’t look at me, my main profession is that of a priest, but I also dream of becoming a swordsman. Even now, I’m still working hard towards that goal,” the uncle seemed to recall something and said softly.
“…” As a priest, just observe the battle properly from the sidelines; what’s he doing coming up to fight!?
