It was normal for monsters to attack the city early in the beta testing period, but there had to be measures to wrap things up. It was impossible to really massacre the city until the day.
The best way to wrap things up was, of course, Gabriel's appearance.
Since he had transformed into Gabriel and shown himself to the world, Lan Mu naturally had to carry out his missionary work to the end.
"When humans are in real danger, Gabriel will appear to save you."
This was what the priests in the exploration bases had always said.
When monsters attacked the city, the NPCs would not just stand by and watch. Most of the NPCs in the bases were also dealing with the monsters.
In the battle, the players saw the power of the NPCs, but also realized that the NPCs were not that powerful.
Usually, the NPCs in the main city of the game were almost invincible. A guard in a village might be stronger than the strongest Boss.
However, when the monsters attacked the city, the NPCs in the bases were like the players. They struggled bitterly and were eventually destroyed.
The only ones left were the priests in the bases who did not participate in the battle. They were praying in the churches.
At first, the players were still criticizing the priests, but when they saw Gabriel descending from the sky, they immediately cheered.
The smart players already knew that the Blood Moon was about to end.
Sure enough, Gabriel's light covered the Blood Moon. The monsters howled under the Holy Light and looked up at Gabriel.
He did not cancel the Blood Moon directly. Instead, he used the Holy Light to block the monsters from the resurrection point.
In the sky, Gabriel was like a giant. The players from the six regions could see this six-winged seraph clearly.
"Is this a real angel, or is it in the game?" Some players murmured. They did not forget that this was a game.
"It's real! It must be real! Have you forgotten about faith? Only the real God knows if our hearts are sincere. How would the game know? "
"So, this is a game that is supervised by God? No wonder the government did not ban this game … "
"Maybe … this is not just a game …"
More and more players were resurrecting. They shouted and rushed out, ready to continue fighting the monsters, but found that the monsters were blocked.
The Holy Light was dazzling. Only then did they notice Gabriel in the sky.
Lan Mu did not destroy the monsters, nor did he directly disperse them. He only blocked them and waited for the players who were still in the game but had not been resurrected.
Gradually, all the players were revived. They looked at Gabriel in surprise. No one was worried that the monster would kill them.
The players knew that Gabriel had something to say.
Sure enough, Lan Mu said to all the players in the game, "To be able to stand here until now, you have the quality of not giving up in despair."
"Destroy the demons with your own hands. Your perseverance will be rewarded."
"Every monster that dies will leave behind a bone that gathers their magic power. Having a magic bone is the foundation of becoming a Warlock."
"Do not fear them, the Holy Light is protecting you."
After speaking, every player felt different. While the Holy Light weakened the monsters, it also bestowed Divine Blessings on every player.
It allowed players' attacks to deal Holy damage, which was extremely effective against demonic creatures.
In other words, the players were now buffed with a powerful buff, which gave them the foundation to eliminate monsters.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
"Thank you, Gabriel!"
"Haha, I was right to stay!"
"After being killed by monsters 20 times, I can finally get my revenge!"
"Don't worry about the small monsters. Look for monsters that can use magic. Killing them will give us a big lead!"
"Damn! That's awesome! "
"Don't rush around, stick together! Stick together! Even with the Divine Blessing, we can't be careless. "
Lan Mu watched the players clear out the monsters. With his help, the players could at least survive the night of the Bloody Moon.
The monsters were not weak, but Lan Mu gave the players the ability to deal fatal damage to them. After this night, a small group of Warlocks would emerge in the game.
The magic obtained by fusing with a magic bone was different from the magic of the local civilization. The former was for Warlocks, while the latter was for Mages.
The magic contained in the magic bone was limited by the daily casting time. After using it up, the players had to wait for the bone to slowly recharge.
The spells released were also fixed. The monsters would only leave the corresponding magic bone.
All the related spells were set by Lan Mu. They came from the Super USB drive or various entertainment works on Earth. The specious principle was basically made up by Lan Mu.
Being able to cast spells with a magic bone, it would be great if that was true in reality. Lan Mu could not ask for more.
If he could, he would have skinned the little demons and pulled out their bones.
After one night, more and more people came online. They had all heard about the changes on the forum and hurried over to reap the benefits.
However, they were just going to die when they came online. Except for the first group of people who persisted, those who came later did not get Gabriel's blessing.
Trying to kill monsters with pistols and explosives? It was simply wishful thinking.
Hiding in the base's Holy Light Shield, the players beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret.
"Oh! So sinister! So angry! "
"We shouldn't have quit the game! We missed the chance to become a Warlock. "
"I should've known that this would happen. The organizers can't torture us on purpose. There's a reason for every skill system to be unlocked. The technology of the human exploration base, the divine spells bestowed upon us by the gods, and the learning magic system mentioned on the official website is unlocked after coming into contact with the native civilization. These are all skills that will be unlocked as the players progress in their exploration."
"Humph! Actually, I thought of it long ago. I just didn't want to die too many times in vain. What a pity! I came online too late. "
"Tsk! You're the one who scolded us the most on the forum. "
"If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to just provide this information to us directly? Why do you have to create a blood moon? The Earth City that our team worked so hard to build was directly flattened … "
"Directly provided to you? Go play that kind of online game. Charge 10,000 yuan and you'll become a god! A peerless artifact will be given to you as soon as you click. "
"That's right. The fun of this game lies in the players' exploration and the sense of accomplishment of a free life. I really admire the players who stayed in the game to be tortured. They really have a unique vision and see this game clearly. "
A large group of players came online, occasionally helping to clean up the monsters. Most of them were chatting in the safety of the holy light.
No matter how much they regretted it, there was nothing they could do at the moment. They could only watch the battle and watch the players outside bravely kill the monsters and then excitedly harvest the crystal clear magic bones.
The players realized that from this night onwards, the divine spells would not be the biggest daddy. The era of the Magic Bone Warlocks had arrived.
"The game world is changing too fast. At first, the monster was the daddy. We all had to go around it. After that, the divine spells were the daddy. We all had to serve him. Then technology was the king. We had to climb the technology tree. Then we understood that it was useless no matter how powerful you were. More people would still crush you. However, more people didn't mean anything. The behemoths taught us a lesson in minutes … Now the behemoths are trash. The monsters are the monsters we pursue. The magic bones will be sold at a sky-high price! The Warlock is the daddy. No! It's the ancestor! "
After the night of the blood moon, all kinds of lucky players who got the magic bones showed off the power of magic on the forum.
The players found that the combat power of a Warlock was equivalent to the output of a team of ten or twenty people. Some control spells were more important and could change the situation at a critical moment.
The powerful magic caused the forum to be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. These lucky players walked ahead of everyone else.
Many people were willing to buy the magic bones at a high price in reality. After all, without Gabriel's blessing, the players couldn't deal with the monsters with their current strength. Only Warlocks who also had magic could deal with the monsters, so the magic bones were undoubtedly precious.
Lan Mu had expected this situation. The reason why he didn't directly provide information on the magic bones instead of torturing them first was because he had a purpose in giving them this kind of gameplay through the plot.
A small part of it was for the sake of authenticity, but the main part was for the growth of nightmares and angels.
First, they would gain fear. Then, when the players couldn't provide fear, the angels would appear to save the day. They would gain a large number of believers and make the players devout.
If you wanted to become stronger, you had to take risks. When you took risks, you would encounter calamities. Calamities made people fear, and fear induced faith.
Sometimes, Lan Mu felt that he was too utilitarian.
Souls, essence, fear, faith … Fortunately, the True Ancestor disdained human blood. Otherwise, humans would have been ruined.
The whole world provided for him to achieve supreme success. This seemed to be destined from the moment he got the life orb.
