The chain blade pierced through the serpent's right eye and with a swing of Lin Xue's arm, the chain blade drew a blazing arc in the air before it smashed right below the serpent's left eye.
Lin Xue could clearly see that her actual movement deviated from the silhouette. Based on the standard movement, the chain blade should have hit the serpent's left eye, but Lin Xue missed.
However, this did not affect the Hydra too much. The action was considered complete, and the gigantic head of the Hydra was smashed onto the deck, temporarily losing consciousness. However, the Hydra did not lose much HP, so it did not become blind.
The heavy hit caused the serpent's HP to drop by a third, and it was also stunned for a long time.
Lin Xue dealt damage to the unconscious serpent's head as she recalled the cool attack that she had just performed. It was obviously not a skill that she knew of.
"Could this be … QTE?!"
Lin Xue recalled the previous scene. Wasn't this a gameplay that had appeared a long time ago: QTE?
QTE was a more primitive combat mode. Its full name was' Rapid Reaction Event ', which was a system that tested the player's reflexes. During the game, the player had to react quickly to the buttons on the screen and press the corresponding button. Their character would then unleash a beautiful finishing blow.
For example, in the boss battles of traditional games, when the boss was in a certain state, the screen would display a very short bullet time and a few specific button prompts. As long as the player pressed the button accurately, their character would use a special combo to beat up the boss. If the player pressed the button wrongly or too slowly, the player would miss the opportunity to use the special attack and the boss would turn the tables on them.
In the parallel world, QTE was also a widely used combat mode in PC action games. Its biggest advantage was that it could be used to display special combat moves, making the battle more intense and impactful.
What Lin Xue had just experienced could be seen as a variant of QTE. It was the same bullet time and the same movement guide that appeared in her field of vision. The difference was that the player no longer had to press the button, but instead, they had to follow the movement's trajectory to execute the move.
If it was a conventional playstyle, the players would not have thought of swinging their chain sabers 360 degrees to knock the snake's head and stun it. However, with this new QTE playstyle, the players just had to follow the path of the shadow and perform the same action, and they would be truly cool.
Lin Xue realized that the game was way too friendly for players as she played the game.
The serpent had several ways of attacking. It could open its mouth to bite, swing its head, or slam the ground. Kratos, on the other hand, had more ways to deal with it. He could dodge quickly, raise the chain blades in his hands to block, and even if the serpent bit him in the mouth, he could deal explosive damage with a wave of QTE.
One could say that, as long as players didn't just sit there and wait for death after being swallowed, there were 10,000 ways to kill this Hydra.
Not only that, but Lin Xue could also see Kratos' heroic posture from her over-the-shoulder view. When he executed the QTE, Kratos' muscles suddenly expanded, and he turned his body elegantly in midair. His posture was as beautiful as a painting.
"It's so cool, what a real man's game. Too bad I'm not a real man …"
Lin Xue felt extremely satisfied after killing the Hydra. It had been a long time since she had encountered such a satisfying battle.
The smooth controls, gorgeous special moves, and perfect sense of attack, coupled with the background music mixed with the sound of war drums and horns, made the battle experience of this game unparalleled.
Lin Xue continued forward, and what awaited her were even more spectacular scenes.
Kratos climbed up the mast of the ship. The huge ship was filled with all kinds of enemies, and the other heads of the Hydra were constantly attacking the crew on the ship. The huge serpent's head was even taller than the mast of the ship, and the huge ship was firmly entangled by the Hydra, unable to move.
Kratos continued forward, and finally arrived in front of the largest head of the Hydra.
The boss battle this time was similar to the head he had killed before, but the difference was that he had to kill three heads at the same time, one big and two small. The big serpent's head would constantly resurrect the two small ones, so every time he killed one, he had to use the anchor above to nail it to the deck.
After killing the two small serpent's heads, Kratos climbed to the highest point of the mast, and faced the huge sea monster, the Hydra.
Lin Xue felt so small. Compared to the huge Hydra, Kratos's height wasn't even as tall as one of its teeth.
Fortunately, Kratos had already obtained the magic Poseidon's Wrath. After a fierce battle, the Hydra's huge head fell heavily in front of Kratos, and it entered bullet time again, ushering in the special QTE of this boss battle.
Kratos threw out the two chain blades, deeply stabbing into the left side of the Hydra's face. Then he began to pull back desperately, slamming into the mast next to him!
The Hydra kept struggling, exerting force in the opposite direction, but Kratos's strength completely crushed it. The huge serpent's head still slammed into the mast. While a lot of blood gushed out of the left side of the Hydra's face, the hard mast also made a deafening explosion, and a wooden spike extended out, showing signs of damage.
The second QTE was from the other direction, and after these two hits, the mast was completely deformed. One more hit and it would immediately break!
The third hit, and the mast broke. This QTE was different from before. Kratos took advantage of the time when the Hydra was unconscious to jump on its head, and stabbed the chain blade into its left eye!
The piercing pain made the Hydra start to struggle violently, and Kratos was thrown down. But the moment he fell, Kratos threw out his chain blade and hooked the Hydra's chin. Then he pressed his feet against the lower edge of the mast, and began to pull the huge serpent's head down desperately!
"Boom!!"
The sharp mast pierced directly into the serpent's jaw and came out of its left eye. The huge Hydra was directly nailed by the broken mast!
The Hydra's dirty blood gushed out like a fountain. It was still struggling, letting out ear-piercing screams, but it was meaningless. Soon, it died in humiliation.
The moment the largest serpent's head died, the other two small serpent heads nailed to the deck also quickly exploded and died.
The camera zoomed out, showing a very handsome view. Kratos stood on the deck, and in front of him was the nailed Hydra, whose bloody mouth could even swallow a small ship.
"Help! Help! "
