A sky full of bloody light obscured the entire screen.
In the background melody, the War God's eyes slowly closed.
The blood-red light that filled the sky was a close-up of his two eyeballs. As his eyelids closed and the camera zoomed out, the blood-red light gradually dissipated. However, the Martial God's eyes were still filled with blood-red mist, like blood tears floating in the air.
The camera continued to zoom out.
The War God's eyes were tightly shut. He was still sitting cross-legged on the opposite side of the chess table. His right hand gripped the demon sword and stabbed it into the ground. Fresh blood flowed down the blade of the demon sword, dyeing the entire demon sword red.
On the chess table, the black and white chess pieces were still in the same state as when the game ended, but they were now covered in blood.
The old monk was still sitting cross-legged on the opposite side with his palms clasped together. However, his old head was lowered. His kasaya and monk robes were dyed red with blood. It was clear that he had passed away.
The entire scene was completely still. Only the fiery red maple leaves were still slowly drifting down.
This silence lasted for a few seconds.
Then, a crisp "ding" sound broke the silence.
At first, it was only an undetectable sound, but very quickly, a second sound rang out. This time, the sound was much louder, as if it was right next to their ears.
The War God's body and the old monk's body shook at the same time.
Nothing appeared above the old monk's head. This was because his three spiritual and seven physical souls had been destroyed by the demon sword. The blood of the enlightened monk had bestowed the demon sword with the great power to kill ghost servants.
A slightly swaying spiritual fire appeared above the War God's head. That was his three spiritual and seven physical souls.
The War God was in his twilight years. His three spiritual and seven physical souls were no longer as powerful as they had been when he was young. He was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be drawn away in the next second.
But at this moment, the War God suddenly opened his eyes!
The demon sword in his hand suddenly released a monstrous demonic aura. As the blade danced, it brought with it a sky full of bright red blood and filthy black flames. It slashed towards a certain place in the courtyard!
Although the blade slashed across the chess table, it did not cause any damage. Instead, it was like it had slashed across an illusion, as if it was in a different space and time.
The monstrous demonic aura swept across, and two indistinct figures appeared in the courtyard.
One in black and the other in white, with long tongues sticking out of their mouths. They held shackles in their left hand and a mourning stick in their right.
The long white tassel on the mourning stick swayed, trying to hook the wandering soul. The bell at the top of the mourning stick rang again.
In front of the two tall and sinister Ghost Envoys, the War God gradually adapted to the state of floating between the realms of Yin and Yang, his right hand tightly gripping the Demon Sword.
Then, he made an inviting gesture with his hand.
…
After this stance, it seamlessly cut into the actual battle scene in the game.
The old monk's corpse, the chessboard, and other elements remained the same, but the Black and White Impermanence appeared on the opposite side.
There were two extremely tall and oppressive bosses. There were two long health bars on the top of the screen.
The sudden battle caught Yan Qi a little unprepared.
"F * ck, it's starting already?"
"Fighting the Black and White Impermanence right from the start? This is too exciting! "
Fortunately, Yan Qi already had the controller in his hand.
After all, he had already suffered many times in Repent and be Saved. He subconsciously felt nervous and excited when playing such a game. He did not dare to let his mind wander.
Even so, these two bosses still gave him a huge sense of oppression that he had never felt before.
He had already fought the Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved. However, the Black and White Impermanence he encountered this time were obviously different from the ones in Repent and be Saved.
In Repent and be Saved, the Black and White Impermanence were actually in a relatively crazy state. They had lost their sanity and had completely forgotten their mission to receive souls. As the game's bosses, they wandered aimlessly.
The Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved looked scarier. The Ghost Envoys they wore were torn and stained with blood. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they could not communicate with others. They could only shout indecipherable words. Their attacks were even crazier and more chaotic.
The Black and White Impermanence in Eternal Fallen Samsara looked much more normal. Their Ghost Envoys were neat and tidy. One could even see the words' Wealth at Sight 'and' World Peace 'written on their official hats. Their actions also looked very rational. They did not have a strong desire to attack like they did in Repent and be Saved.
Not only that, but they also had lines.
"Vengeful ghosts take souls, Impermanence takes lives."
"Impudent Yin Spirits! Quickly surrender and be locked up in Fengdu. You will be judged for your crimes and judged for your yin and yang! "
"If you resist the Ghost Envoys, you will be sent to hell, never to be reincarnated!"
Their eerie and terrifying voices were even scarier than when they encountered the Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved.
After all, the Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved were considered mid-game bosses. Players had to kill their way out of the mass grave, defeat the crazy townspeople in the initial town, and embark on the Yellow Springs Road. They had to suffer countless times before they could encounter the Black and White Impermanence.
By the time they encountered them, they would already be mentally prepared.
However, Eternal Fallen Samsara was different. They had to fight two bosses right from the start. What's more, they looked like they were at their peak. The pressure was instantly felt!
Yan Qi was a little confused.
"How do I fight them? I'm only level one. I don't have anything! "
In Repent and be Saved, players had to level up and obtain weapons and health recovery items before encountering bosses. However, the main character had nothing on him. How could he fight them?
"Could it be that the main character in Eternal Fallen Samsara is much stronger than Repent and be Saved? That's why they arranged for powerful enemies like the Black and White Impermanence?
"Yes, that makes sense. After all, the main character is a Martial God. What's more, he has an extremely powerful demonic sword. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to kill the Black and White Impermanence.
"What's more, I'm not a new player. I've already cleared Repent and be Saved!"
At that thought, Yan Qi charged forward confidently.
In less than a minute, Yan Qi watched as the so-called Martial God was hammered to the ground by the Black and White Impermanence. The two mourning sticks smashed him to the ground, and he could not get up. The chains pierced through his collarbone, and he was locked by the Black and White Impermanence.
"… F * ck, something's not right, right?
"These two bosses are ridiculously strong. Is this a plot kill?"
Yan Qi realized that things were very different from what he had expected.
He had thought that the Martial God with the demonic sword would be very powerful. However, after charging forward, he realized that this was not the case at all!
The Black and White Impermanence's attributes seemed to be higher than in Repent and be Saved. Their HP was higher, and their damage was higher.
Although their desire to attack was not as strong, the AI seemed to have become smarter. Instead, it made the 1v2 battle much more difficult!
In terms of settings, this made sense. After all, the Black and White Impermanence were in a normal, rational state. When they were at their peak, it was understandable for their attributes to be higher.
However, the key was that this Martial God was not a Martial God at all. It would shatter with a single touch!
Yan Qi originally thought that the demonic sword would have high damage and that the Black and White Impermanence would lose HP when it hit them. However, when he really hit them, he realized that the damage was not high at all!
Although he would lose HP, it would probably take a lot of perseverance to kill the Black and White Impermanence.
Moreover, the lack of healing items meant that there was very little room for mistakes in the battle. Once one of the Black and White Impermanence was knocked down, the other Black and White Impermanence would definitely follow up with consecutive attacks. This little bit of HP was not enough at all, and it would be reduced to zero at any time.
After being locked up, the protagonist was brought all the way to the underworld by the Black and White Impermanence.
"Hmm … looks like it's really a plot kill. They deliberately arranged characters that players can't beat.
"The real plot of the game should start from the Road to the Netherworld."
Compared to Repent and be Saved, Eternal Fallen Samsara skipped a portion of the game's content. For example, the initial village, town, and the Gates of Hell. It started directly from the Road to the Netherworld.
On the Road to the Netherworld, there were many ghosts guided by ghostly servants towards the Three-way River and the Bridge of Helplessness. The Black and White Impermanence left the protagonist here and handed him over to the ghostly servants who guided him. Then, they went to the world to lock up other ghosts.
The protagonist broke free from his shackles again. Next, he obviously had to kill the ghostly servants on the Road to the Netherworld and continue forward.
Compared to Repent and be Saved, Eternal Fallen Samsara's setting was obviously closer to the normal state of the underworld.
Under the guidance of the ghostly servants, the ghosts headed towards the underworld in an orderly manner. It was not like the Road to the Netherworld in Repent and be Saved. Without any guidance, the ghostly servants did not go crazy either.
Yan Qi quickly shook off the frustration of being killed by the plot and rushed towards a ghostly servant in front of him with the demonic sword.
This was the first ordinary monster that he encountered in the game. He should be able to kill it smoothly, right?
However, half a minute later, Yan Qi fell into deep thought as he looked at the Martial God on the screen.
Something doesn't feel right!
