You Take One More Step, and You Desecrate the Second Playthrough Once More

Suofeiya·Malin, the "Glimmerlake Fairy," is the most difficult boss in the entire "Hero of Pharassia" series. Many players got stuck at this point and could not overcome it.

Its seemingly frail body can actually easily withstand a tactical nuclear weapon. The evil spirit's body can also be exempted from the damage caused by Neutron Radiation by stepping into the spirit world. As for the continuous high temperature flames, they have no other effect except burning down this Human-faced Garden.

Zeta, Epsilon, Delta-rank are the backbone of Cosmic Civilization. The vast majority of professional soldiers and mercenaries fall into this class. To civilizations that have not left their home planet, they are a scourge, a god. Traditional gunpowder-powered weapons can no longer harm their noble bodies. Magic-enhanced blades and deadly lasers are the main force in their battles.

If they wanted to, they could easily annihilate those weak planetary civilizations.

Even though Suofeiya·Malin has only just broken free from Epsilon and entered the Zeta-rank, it makes no difference to mortals, or to the Gamma-rank who are almost equivalent to mortals—they are beings who can kill them in the blink of an eye.

There's a lot of backstory to explore about Suofeiya·Malin. To truly defeat her, you'd need at least 12 skilled Delta-rank players, focusing your firepower and maintaining perfect rhythm. Otherwise, she'll simply pick up her scythe and sweep it lightly—and in the next moment, she'll tear through space, emerge from behind, and devour you all one by one, like snacks.

But for Li Aoz, the information about Suofeiya·Malin has been thoroughly explored over a dozen versions, and there are countless strategies and Walkthrough available.

Suofeiya·Malin is very difficult to defeat, and many new streamers consider it a boastful achievement to be able to solo Suofeiya·Malin without taking damage.

Li Aoz has never boasted about his achievements, nor did he defeat Suofeiya·Malin without taking any damage.

—Because he blew up the entire ruins, I didn't even watch that part of the story.

Although he changed bodies, Li Aoz's previous skills, including the [Aura of Goodwill], were not inherited but remained on his original body. However, Rio Dureito's powerful basic attributes freed up his room for maneuver.

This was much more manageable than the situation he faced when confronting Nimoting and the professor.

There are many ways to deal with Suofeiya·Malin. Her moves have been thoroughly studied by Li Aoz. If you try to force her to fight, Li Aoz has two Timeless Masterpiece weapons that can slowly wear her down.

But this will take five days.

"You should stop..."

Sophia slowly approached, her white veil billowing in the evening breeze. All the sunflowers with human faces began to sob uneasily, their soft chirping rising and falling in a stark contrast to the clear moonlight, driving one mad.

Li Aoz didn't waste any words, nor did he intend to respond to Suofeiya·Malin.

He threw the weapon on the ground, and Suofeiya·Malin immediately stopped in her tracks, looking at Li Aoz hesitantly.

"Intruder, what are you doing?"

She gripped the weapon, unpredictable and unable to gauge Li Aoz's behavior.

Without saying a word, Li Aoz swaggered over, striding across the garden path in front of the hidden boss. After passing through dense flowerbeds and tombstones, Li Aoz found a cliff and strode across it.

Suofeiya·Malin stared at the unfamiliar intruder and jumped down.

"...absurd."

Snap!

Li Aoz fell close to the cliff, but did not crash into the valley below—below the precipice, there was a stone slab hidden in a blind spot, piercing straight into the mountain and catching Li Aoz steadily.

Then, turning left and right, Li Aoz, familiar with the path, easily reached the halfway point. As his shoes touched the soft soil, Li Aoz turned around and immediately saw a cave.

Although Li Aoz came directly from the cloud and only watched the game video, his body was of excellent quality. Even on a 700-meter-high cliff, enduring the fierce wind, he did not tremble at all, allowing him to easily jump down to reach the cave.

As for fighting?

Nonsense! Skipping class is a testament to your understanding of the game! "Sophia won't attack players who have put down their weapons and aren't aggressive. Theoretically, as long as you don't provoke her, you can just parkour over there."

—I figured out the game Walkthrough, so you lost.

He stepped into the cave, took two steps forward, and then immediately jumped back.

Whoosh! Three poisoned arrows burst forth, striking the rock wall. The traps were deactivated, Li Aoz confidently continued forward, venturing deeper into the cave. He calmly triggered and destroyed most of the traps, carrying no weapons, no emotions, no skills—only the Walkthrough.

Unlike the "Humanity of the Nethermark Humanity, which couldn't be fully explored due to version issues, the " Hero of Pharassia "Walkthrough is very clear and detailed.

Li Aoz also heard some tips and tricks from his fans. After improving his Intelligence attribute, he was able to recall those short chat logs.

After navigating a flamethrower trap, he deliberately dismantled the flamethrower's base, retrieving a strange medal depicting a soldier carrying a jumbled array of weapons: [Yuri! You've discovered a producer Easter egg for Call of Battle: Modern Warfare 2042!]

"I only need two more Easter eggs to get the reward - I should have collected them on Azure Planet earlier."

The Easter egg rewards are quite unique.

Li Aoz continued forward, and with his memorized Walkthrough, he cracked the cave full of traps and puzzles in less than five minutes, swiftly and efficiently reaching the finish line without taking a single extra step.

At the end of the cave, only two skeletons remained, with rusty weapons scattered on the ground. They held broken swords, each plunging into the other's chest—this was how they died.

Looking up, you can see a treasure chest displayed on the two steps.

Thus, a story emerges: Two adventurers braved numerous obstacles and traps to reach this place, only to fight each other over the loot and ultimately perish together.

It's worth mentioning that the two skeletons each clutched half of a key tightly in their hands, still fighting for ownership of the treasure chest even though they had been destroyed long ago.

Li Aoz kicked over the skeletons, snatched the keys from their hands, combined them into one, inserted it into the keyhole, and gently turned it counterclockwise. With a 'click', the key was unlocked.

However, Li Aoz did not rush to open it.

He took two steps back, picked up a torch from the ground, lit it, then went around to the back of the treasure chest and gently opened it.

Fu Ao—

In an instant, a massive number of maggots surged out of the treasure chest like an ocean, scattering like beans onto the ground. Li Aoz calmly raised his torch and aimed it at these ugly, pale maggots with their hideous mouthparts. Wherever the torchlight reached, the maggots scattered and fled. They wriggled faster than rats, and their swarming mass created a white ocean on the ground.

Once the maggots had been driven away by the flames and fled the cave, Li Aoz calmly turned around and came to the front of the treasure chest. He slowly raised a light longsword wrapped in an unknown animal hide, a bottle of spilled and broken dark red potion (most of the magic potion had evaporated, and only the demonized maggots inside could be vaguely seen, rendering it unusable), and a letter.

Most of the information on the envelope was stained a dark red by the medicine, making it look like blood at first glance, which was rather frightening. Looking down, only a few words could be vaguely made out: 'Dear (the handwriting is unclear) Erwei, [the doctor] sends his regards—'

'The Saintess will understand me.'

May Tuvahara guide us.

The postmark was illegible, but when Li Aoz turned the envelope over, he saw several striking characters from the Crystal Tower Civilization:

'If you see this, please remember! — Do not get lost in the Star Abyss; they are more terrifying than society!'

(Paper torn) Star Abyss is not me, you, our home, Aellria.

'The erosion continues, (the handwriting is illegible) making it impossible for me to continue. I saw the Star Abyss, and the truth terrifies me. I must tell you this fact.'

'Now, I have discovered the most terrifying truth: I will die, but I must tell you—(the handwriting is illegible) the secret is: radiance is eternity, and the resurrected one is the Speaker.'

The message was incomplete and the handwriting didn't match the previous words. It looked like someone had hastily and secretly written something.

He already knew the contents of the letter. After removing the stained envelope, Li Aoz folded the letter and put it away.

He turned around, picked up the longsword wrapped in animal hide. This weapon was somewhat peculiar, and he was not yet able to use it. He casually tucked it into his belt.

Li Aoz turned to look at the rock wall behind the treasure chest.

Then, he rammed into it headfirst.

puff--

The spell shattered, Li Aoz stepped straight into a spacious secret chamber, where icy blue water pooled and the elements in the air became incredibly vibrant, as if they had suddenly come to life.

Above the pool, a strange little tree floated silently, its roots embedded in the void, yet its branches and leaves flourished, growing with composure. As Li Aoz slowly approached, the little tree gradually changed color, first a wary bright yellow, then bursting into sparks and lightning in the air.

Crack!

[You are under the effect of elemental binding; the use of force is prohibited within this space.]

"I meant no harm," Li Aoz said calmly as he continued walking.

The sapling trembled slowly, as if hesitating about something. It gradually changed from a cold azure to a pale gray-white, and the ground changed from being covered in frost to becoming a metallic crystal.

[Intelligence] check failed - change to [Charisma] check.

Li Aoz slowed his pace, radiating a friendly aura. The leaves swayed gently, turning a surprising purple. As Li Aoz approached, they became fiery red, the branches and leaves burning with passion and affection.

[The judgment was a great success]

[Would you accept the modification? Yes/No?]

It took the initiative to show goodwill to Li Aoz and extended a slender root. Li Aoz also reached out and gently caught its entanglement.
