Chapter 27: Unleash the Fury, Notebook Queen!
Asker vividly remembered how much the players had suffered when they fought this Nightmare boss in his previous life.
The setting of this Nightmare boss was extremely cheap. It would choose a character to copy in the blind spot of all teammates. If it was an NPC, it would copy the NPC’s AI script; if it was a player, then after the copying was completed, all the player’s speech and actions would be copied and imitated by the server. Technically, it could even achieve a confusion rate of over 99%. Most normal players could not tell who was the player and who was the dungeon’s copy.
While copying, it would also continuously cast the Dream Puppet ability silently, summoning all kinds of bosses that players had fought before. Before the players could figure out who was the real one, the boss illusion monsters were already roaring and charging towards them.
The players’ methods of dealing with it were even more shameless. One was the mutual destruction method, regardless of who was disguised by the boss, everyone would fight both the real one and the fake one, focusing all their output and bursting out, killing both the teammate and the boss together.
This method was still very efficient, but if the boss copied a key role such as a healer or MT, basically the subsequent dungeon could not be pushed.
The other was the offline phone call method, directly reporting the phone number and asking teammates to go offline and call to ask. This was a truly unsolvable tactic, even the most intelligent AI of the game server was powerless.
During the open beta, players were not yet familiar with these strange extraordinary abilities, so they could only use shameless tactics against shameless tactics. After four or five versions, everyone was familiar with the characteristics of the Mind Sequence abilities, and they could adapt accordingly.
For example, the “tongue twister” method used by Asker was an emergency measure he came up with on the spot, knowing that the Mind ability could read his shallow memory.
After all, they couldn’t go offline and ask, right?
The group continued to move forward and soon reached the bottom of the central mountain peak of the island. From the foot of the mountain upwards, there were dense stone steps, winding up the mountain path in a circular pattern, with ancient Solomon-style stone archways every few dozen meters.
In front of the first archway stood two warriors in dark blue armor, who looked human in appearance. They closed their eyes tightly, as if they were meditating. Mysterious runes were painted on their armor, and the long swords or sabers at their waists also glowed with an ominous blue light, seeming to be no ordinary weapons.
“Dreamland Paradise’s ‘Slumbering Warriors’.” Asker said in the communication channel. “These warriors keep their eyes closed, their consciousness immersed in sleep all the time, controlled by the manipulator behind the scenes. However, they can observe the outside world through mental vision, so the boss behind the scenes is probably aware of us.”
“Since they have discovered us, why don’t they attack?” Eleanor asked.
“Because their task is to defend the first archway.” Asker said with a smile. “If they had the authority to actively attack, then we could send one person to lure them away, and the rest of us could swagger up the mountain, right?”
“Then how do we fight?” Peggy asked.
“Simple.” Asker said, “Eleanor will strike first, pierce one enemy with ‘Dragon Spear,’ and then throw it back here. Me, Peggy, and Medea will focus fire and kill the one that falls to the ground first, and Eleanor will just focus on entangling the other one.”
“There’s another problem.” He thought for a moment and added, “Once we kill these two enemies, we will alert the enemies on the mountain, and they may continuously send warriors down. If we fight on the narrow mountain path, there is a great risk of falling off the cliff. If we slide down the mountainside, even if we don’t die, we will lose half our lives, and it will also cause us to be separated from the team.”
“Therefore, we must not get entangled in a fight with the enemy. Because the enemy outnumbers us, even if they launch a suicidal attack, one-on-one hugging us and jumping off the cliff, it will be quite troublesome for us. Therefore, we need explosive output, pushing all the way, straight to the top of the mountain.”
“Hmm, hmm, hmm.” The girls nodded one after another. So the question was, how to achieve explosive output?
“So we’re back to that problem, our output efficiency is not enough.” Asker looked at Medea seriously. “To perfectly execute this tactic, we can only rely on you. Unleash the fury, Notebook Queen!”
Medea: ???
“You mean, rely on me?” Her brows furrowed.
“Look, don’t you have androphobia? Your fire ability will go berserk if you touch a man?” Asker said, “I’ll touch you first, and then you activate your berserk state, just throw fireballs all the way up the mountain. No matter what enemies come from the mountain, if they are more than three steps away from us, you throw fireballs at them; when their HP is almost depleted and they enter within three steps, we will go up and kill them.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Medea shook her head and said, “In that state you call ‘berserk,’ I have a great deal of hatred for all men. Maybe I’ll lose control and try to kill you, you stinky man, even at the risk of breaking the contract.”
“Then what if I don’t appear in front of you?” Asker thought for a moment. “I hide behind you, out of your sight, and don’t talk the whole time, just keep shooting with my pistol?”
“Then I can try to pretend you don’t exist.” Medea nodded. “We can try.”
“How long can your berserk state last?” Asker asked for confirmation.
“About five minutes.” Medea felt very strange. Because in the Seljuk Empire, where patriarchal culture prevailed, those people in the court were very disgusted with her kind of out-of-control hatred for men. The eunuchs didn’t even dare to appear in her sight. Even her father was quite dissatisfied with this, and didn’t even call her to attend court banquets.
How come when it came to Asker, her ability going out of control became an excellent fighting method?
“After five minutes, if there are no more men in sight, I can calm down and end the out-of-control state.” Medea frowned and said, “If it exceeds five minutes, it will cause damage to my spirituality; if it exceeds 20 minutes, my mind will have a permanent and irreversible risk of losing control.”
“Within 20 minutes? Enough.” Asker nodded.
“Can you please calculate based on 5 minutes?” Seeing that the other party directly used 20 minutes to estimate, Medea almost burst into tears. “If the out-of-control state lasts for more than 10 minutes, I will have to stay in bed afterwards! It’s a serious injury!”
“5 minutes, let’s speed up and rush up. If we are fast enough, we can still reach the top of the mountain ahead of time.” Asker thought for a moment and said, “There will inevitably be male NPCs in the boss fight, let’s see if we can kill them quickly. If it really doesn’t work, you just close your eyes and hypnotize yourself with your mental ability to end the out-of-control state, just pretend that the men around you don’t exist.”
“Hmm.” Medea said sullenly.
“That’s it then.” Asker said decisively. “The order of positions later will be Peggy and Eleanor in the first position, Nuo in the second, Medea in the third, and I will be at the back. If we encounter enemies, Medea will first use her out-of-control fireball ability to bombard them, when they get close, Eleanor will use Dragon Spear to grab the enemies and throw them to the ground, and Peggy and I will be responsible for focusing fire. Any questions?”
“No.” The girls shook their heads one after another.
“Then let’s go.” Asker said, “Medea, I’ll give you a buff.”
“Just a reminder.” Medea said, “No matter which part of my body you touch, within 1 second of touching it, the surface of my skin will start to emit high-temperature flames above 1000 degrees. If you don’t dodge fast enough, you will be severely burned.”
“Understood, then please close your eyes.” Asker said, “The others stay away first.”
The three girls hurriedly moved away. Medea closed her eyes, wondering what Asker was going to do, only to hear him say in her ear:
“Excuse me.”
Slap! A loud slap landed on her face. Medea opened her eyes abruptly, the first thing that rose from her chest was the anger of being humiliated, but a deeper complex emotion soon surged up.
Terror, fear, disgust, rejection, viciousness, and strong hostility.
The touch of the male palm still lingered on her delicate facial skin. The scene of her mother and the three male slaves reappeared in front of her eyes. The filthy and dirty scene with a sense of transgression almost made her want to vomit.
Soon the flames in her heart burned fiercely, her chest seemed to have turned into a huge furnace, the hot blood in her body surged and spread like underground magma, eager to erupt and burn and purify the whole world.
After slapping her, Asker quickly dodged and hid behind. Medea’s body slowly levitated, flames gushing out from the thousands of pores on her skin, almost burning her into a human torch. Her long wine-red hair fluttered in the sparks, the long horns of the Succubus on her forehead protruded, and her pupils burned with extremely fierce and violent flames.
“That damned… pig! Where is he!!!” Medea roared furiously in the flames, even her breath carrying scorching heat.
“Over there!” Eleanor hurriedly pointed to the two Slumbering Warriors in front, afraid that she would turn around and attack Asker.
“Die! Pigs!” Medea, trying hard to suppress the urge to turn around, waved her hands and grabbed two crimson fireballs, throwing them fiercely towards the front. The Slumbering Warriors turned their heads, but before they could make any move, they were engulfed by the raging flames.
“(Seljuk dialect) Die, die, die, die, you pigs!” Medea began to talk nonsense, cursing in her native language, constantly throwing fireballs forward.
The two Slumbering Warriors still wanted to attack this way, but their hair and eyelashes were scorched by the fireballs first, then the defense provided by the armor runes was also destroyed in the high temperature, and then more fireballs bombarded from the air, as if hundreds of rockets were carpet bombing here, raising a lot of smoke and dust.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the figures of the two Slumbering Warriors had disappeared, leaving only two curled up pieces of charcoal on the ground.
“(Devil language) More! Other! Pigs!” Medea started cursing in the Devil language, obviously losing her mind. At this time, Nuo also reacted and quickly pointed to the front:
“On the mountain! There are more men on the mountain!”
“Don’t mention that dirty word in front of me!” Medea screamed furiously. Eleanor and Nuo immediately felt a gust of hot wind blowing towards them, almost drying them up. When they came back to their senses, they saw Medea in the flames rushing towards the mountain, her whole body as majestic as a flame demon.
“Wait, we haven’t formed our positions yet!” Eleanor and the others hurriedly chased after her. Asker watched from behind, feeling that the Notebook Queen’s out-of-control performance was definitely underestimated in the forum in his previous life.
This was not an ordinary berserk state, it was simply a god descending to earth! The power of a rocket artillery barrage was nothing more than this!
He called out to Peggy, and the two of them immediately chased after them.
