Fangzheng was, of course, very familiar with this series. Magnificent magic, evil scenes and settings, plus the endless farming, this was the impression most players had of this world. But any player who had studied this world in depth would know that this world … only looked cool on the surface.
In fact, just like its name, this was a dark world full of death and destruction, a world that could never rise again. The struggle of humans would only bring them temporary peace. However, this peace would not be long before it was mercilessly broken. Just like how the sun would eventually rise and the snow would eventually melt.
More importantly, this was a world that was very unfriendly to the protagonists.
Although the protagonists in the game were unstoppable, in fact, almost none of the protagonists in Diablo had a good ending throughout the three generations.
Among the three protagonists in the first Diablo movie, the Warrior inserted Big Pineapple's Soul Stone into his head and tried to suppress Big Pineapple's evil soul with his strong will. Sure enough, he was corrupted by Big Pineapple and became a tool for Big Pineapple's resurrection. The other two were not much better off. They were either turned into evil spirits after their deaths, or succumbed to the evil will and corrupted. In the end, they became bosses and were killed by the protagonists of the second movie. Of course, the protagonists who succeeded them did not have a good ending either … Killing the demon king and going home to marry the princess was just a pipe dream. These people either disappeared or were killed by others.
In other worlds, the protagonist's aura was life-saving, but in this world, it was fatal!
Because of this, after figuring out this world, Fangzheng's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief … Thank god I'm not the protagonist!
If he remembered correctly, he should have transmigrated to the third Diablo movie. This was the opening scene. A meteor fell from the sky and smashed Tristram Cathedral. Deckard Cain's granddaughter, Leah, gathered the militia to try to find her grandfather. At that moment, the protagonist, Nephalem, made his grand entrance and set foot on a path of no return … Well, a path of no return.
Although Fangzheng could not remember the plot of this movie very clearly, he believed that this unlucky Nephalem would not have a good ending. So what if he defeated Big Pineapple? In any case, this world was full of malice towards the protagonist. They would either be killed by an assassin sent by an old friend, die from an unlucky injury due to losing control of their magic, or be corrupted by evil forces and become a boss that would gift equipment to the next protagonist ….
Such an unlucky main character aura, whoever wanted it could have it. In any case, Fangzheng politely declined.
"Dong dong dong …!!"
Just as Fangzheng finished the meat soup, he heard hurried footsteps. Following that, he saw a militia run into the hotel.
"Fangzheng! Commander Rumford wants you to go to the gate immediately! Those damned undead had appeared again! We must stop them! "
"Got it!"
Upon hearing the militia's words, Fangzheng didn't say anything. He hurriedly stood up and followed the militia out of the hotel. At this time, the rain had stopped, and a few people could be seen around. But most of them looked nervous and anxious. But Fangzheng wasn't in the mood to care about these people. When he came to the gate, he saw that Captain Rumford had changed into a new set of clothes and was now instructing the other militias to build a roadblock. Rumford immediately waved his hand when he saw Fangzheng.
"Quick, Fangzheng, come and help us! We just repelled a wave of undead. They … deserve to die!"
Before Rumford could finish speaking, Fangzheng saw the roadblock on the right break with a bang. Then, several undead slowly walked in. Their eyes glowed as they staggered towards the gate. Seeing this scene, the other militias immediately tensed up. They gripped their weapons tightly in their hands and looked at the monsters in front of them without daring to breathe loudly.
At the same time, a system notification sound rang in Fangzheng's ears. A line of information appeared in front of Fangzheng's eyes.
[Scenario Mission Triggered: Guardian]
[The power of darkness and evil has descended. The flames of civilization are like a candle in the wind. The test of the end of the world is coming. All you can do is accept the challenge and face the pitch-black future. (Resist the attack of the undead creatures and protect the safety of the town. Mission Success. + 1 skill learned, + 1 Dimension Point)]
Finally, a mission!
Seeing the mission in front of him, Fangzheng took the opportunity to draw his Frostmourne. But he was still a little puzzled when he saw the others acting as if they were facing a great enemy. Fangzheng's understanding of this world was limited to the game, the plot, and the setting. As for the strength of the monsters in this game, he didn't know much about them. But in Fangzheng's opinion, there was really nothing to be wary of about these undead. They were very slow, and unlike the zombies in worlds like Resident Evil, they could still mutate and evolve. If they were elite leaders with auras, they might be a bit of a threat. But these undead that swayed as they walked … Was it really necessary for a battle-hardened warrior like Rumford to be so nervous?
Despite his doubts, Fangzheng focused his attention and stared at the undead in front of him vigilantly. He was well aware that he had just arrived in this world, and his understanding of this world was definitely not as good as Rumford's. Since the other party was so nervous, he certainly wouldn't let his guard down.
After all, it was better to be careful.
Although the zombies were very slow, their goal was quite clear. They were heading straight for the door. At this moment, even Fangzheng was clenching his sword tightly. He swallowed his saliva and felt his heart begin to pound. This could be said to be his first serious battle since coming to this world. He didn't know how far he could go.
Although Fangzheng could activate the Lich King's soul stone four more times, he wouldn't use it now. The undead were low-level monsters in the Dark World. How could he defeat the Lich King? Wouldn't that be like using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill a mosquito?
"Go!"
As soon as the undead stepped into the attack range, Rumford roared, raised his sword, and slashed at them. Fangzheng gritted his teeth, clenched the hilt of Frostmourne, and slashed at the undead in front of him.
"BOOM!!"
What the heck!
When the sword slashed down, Fangzheng was dumbfounded. He finally understood why a bunch of zombies who walked slower than grannies could make an old warrior like Rumford feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
There was only one word to describe it: tough!
This guy is so tough!
Although Frostmourne in Fangzheng's hand couldn't use most of its special abilities because he hadn't activated the soul stone, it was still a top-grade sword. Previously, when Fangzheng dealt with the Silver Knights, Frostmourne cut through their armor as easily as cutting through butter. But when Fangzheng slashed at the undead, it felt like he was slashing at a tire! He only felt that Frostmourne only cut into the muscles and then got stuck!
How can there be such a tough undead?!
But what surprised Fangzheng wasn't just this.
"Roar —"
Although the undead moved slowly, it wasn't a target. It growled, spread its arms, and grabbed at Fangzheng. Fangzheng hurriedly withdrew his sword and used it to block in front of him. But what Fangzheng didn't expect was that when the undead's claws hit Frostmourne, he felt a powerful force coming at him, and then Fangzheng was sent flying!
"Ugh!"
Fangzheng slammed his head into the door behind him, feeling as though his body was about to fall apart. He now finally understood why this group of Living Dead, who seemed to be staggering and could not move much faster than a turtle, could wipe out a whole militia!
Apart from being slow, these bastards had no weakness at all!
When Fangzheng saw Nephalem in the game, he thought that these undead were pushovers. But now, they might not be as strange as the mutated zombies in Resident Evil, but their hardness and strength alone were at the Tyrant level!
"Fangzheng! Stand up! Don't let them surround you!! "
Hearing Captain Rumford's shout, Fangzheng gritted his teeth, rolled to his feet, and raised Frostmourne to face the undead again.
But this time, Fangzheng was smarter. He didn't clash head-on with the undead because Fangzheng had discovered that the undead in the Diablo world were strong and had high defense, but their speed was their weakness. Therefore, he didn't attack immediately this time. Instead, he let the undead attack him first. Then, while the undead raised its hands, Fangzheng immediately raised his sword and chopped off the undead's hands.
This time, Frostmourne finally displayed the power of its artifact. Although the undead's arms were also very hard, they were still completely chopped off by Fangzheng's all-out attack. The undead without hands was like a tiger without teeth. It shook its head and intended to attack Fangzheng again. But this time, Fangzheng also learned to be smarter and directly chopped off its head. The undead swayed a few times, then fell to the ground, dead.
Finally, there's a way.
Seeing the undead fall, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly picked up his weapon and ran toward the other undead.
At this time, Captain Rumford and the other militias were entangled with the undead. Fangzheng only glanced at them and understood why they couldn't beat the undead.
Weapons were no good!
Fangzheng had Frostmourne in his hand, but it was already difficult for him to chop these undead. Not to mention, these militias were only holding the most ordinary weapons. Naturally, they couldn't do much. Fangzheng had seen Captain Rumford slash at the zombies with his sword with his own eyes. He had only managed to leave a few wounds after four or five slashes. It was as though he had used a knife to carve out a stone slab!
"Captain Rumford!"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's shout, Rumford glanced at Fangzheng. After seeing the undead at Fangzheng's feet, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded to Fangzheng. At the same time, he took half a step forward and brandished his sword to restrain the undead in front of him. While Rumford distracted the undead, Fangzheng took advantage of the undead's distraction to sneak behind it. He swung his sword and cut off the undead's head.
The militias were also experienced. Seeing that Fangzheng's weapon could deal with the undead, they naturally played the role of MT without hesitation. With the cooperation of both sides, it didn't take long for the undead to be wiped out.
"Phew …"
It wasn't until the last undead fell to the ground that Fangzheng wiped the sweat off his forehead. At the same time, he could see white mist-like gas emerging from the undead's bodies. They entangled and turned into shapes similar to human faces, which were then sucked into Frostmourne as if they were attracted by a magnet. At the same time, lines of system prompts appeared in front of Fangzheng.
[Soul Power + 10 … Soul Power + 13 … Soul Power + 12 …]
Done!
Seeing the system prompts in front of him, Fangzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about how to complete the Frostmourne mission, but now it seemed that completing the mission was no longer difficult.
"Ding!"
While Fangzheng was absorbing the soul power, the system prompt rang in his ears again. Then, another line of words appeared in front of Fangzheng.
[Scenario mission "Guardian" Progress 1 completed.]
[User received skill reward.]
[User received Dimension Point + 1]
[Please choose a skill.]
[Frost Strike] [Crusader Strike]
Choose?
Upon seeing the notification, Fangzheng could not help but be taken aback. Weren't these two skills the skills of the Death Knight and Paladin in the mountain pass? Fangzheng could understand the Death Knight, but what the hell was a Paladin?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng couldn't help but pat his head, lamenting his stupidity. The soul stone he had now was Arthas. Wasn't Arthas a Paladin before becoming a Lich King?
