A Cyclops That Can Count to 9 Is Terrifying!

Chapter 23 A Giant Who Can Count to 9... Utterly Terrifying!

[Cyclops: Champion Template, Demon Realm Devil. HP=1015, MP=5. Strength 29, Agility 5, Spirit 1, Charm 1.]

[Demon Trait - Flame Titan Descendant]

As a Cyclops, its racial bloodline is a typical high-strength unit, and with the Champion Template, the conversion rate of strength to HP is directly as high as 1:35.

Even if it just stood there and let Cheng Tian whip it with all his might, it would take a hundred or so lashes to kill it.

But how many hits could Cheng Tian take from the Cyclops?

Although he couldn't see the specific health bar, just looking at its physique, Cheng Tian could already imagine how tough its bones were, and it definitely wasn't someone he could face head-on.

Even if it was empty-handed, Cheng Tian didn't want to take a single hit.

The only thing to be thankful for was that this Cyclops was based on the Famicom version, not the headless knight version from Great Demon Village.

So, the question is... how to fight it?

Cheng Tian turned his head and could only see deep shock and fear on the faces of the two college students. They couldn't even imagine how they would stand in front of this Cyclops.

It could only be said that Greenie's previous assessment was indeed very pertinent. Even if it was just the lowest difficulty first stage of Demon Village, "Demon King's Castle Outskirts," the difficulty should be D-level, not E+.

A group of inexperienced newbie players being thrown in was no different from encountering a sleepy long-haul driver while crossing the road. It was purely a human-caused disaster, not a natural one.

If they weren't careful, even Cheng, who had shown considerable combat power and amazing potential, would be killed.

Reaching out and pulling the floating Demon Cicada into his arms, Cheng Tian began to rub it repeatedly like a stress ball, while staring blankly at the dozing Cyclops, ideas gradually forming in his mind.

"Little guy, nod if you can fully understand what I'm saying."

A suppressed atmosphere enveloped them for a while, and then Cheng Tian placed the Demon Cicada, which he was still rubbing, in front of him, lowered his voice, and whispered to it.

The Demon Cicada nodded.

"You need to do this and that..."

Cheng Tian began to mutter softly.

"Hey, you two."

After a while, the two college students heard Cheng Tian mention them, and their bodies tensed up, visibly trembling slightly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Then they saw Cheng Tian, who had taken the initiative to take off the entire Knight Armor and put it into his inventory at some point, casually throwing the Red Imp wings material that he had replaced to the side, and once again, he was only left in his underwear, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.

But just when they thought Cheng Tian was about to say something comforting, they saw him grin, revealing an uncomfortable smile.

It seemed to have a bit of excitement mixed with madness, and the feeling of being ready to risk his life was very strong. In short, he didn't seem like a normal person.

"When I die, it'll be your turn! Gahaha!"

After saying that, Cheng Tian didn't care about the two college students' faces, which instantly turned ashen as if their parents had died, and turned around and walked out of the bushes, taking the silently flying Demon Cicada, sneaking towards the sleeping Cyclops like a thief.

The two college students were stunned in place, feeling like they couldn't stay, but they couldn't follow either.

Cheng, who was also a veteran Monster Hunter player, now only regretted not having a Large Barrel Bomb G to carry with him, otherwise he would definitely let this Cyclops enjoy the pleasure of a sleep bombing.

As the distance got closer and closer, this made the Cyclops' size feel increasingly oppressive to Cheng Tian.

However, just when the straight-line distance between the two was only 30 meters, he saw the still-closed-eyed Cyclops suddenly make a sniffing motion, as if it had smelled something that made it react. Then, it suddenly opened its eyes, and its slightly bleary single eye accurately looked towards Cheng's location!

Unlike the Gargoyle demon, which had a history of Demon Realm mercenary families and whose behavior was far more disciplined than it looked, the Cyclops, also a demon, was actually closer to a pure beast.

Ordinary Cyclops individuals are generally over four meters tall, and Champion individuals who can be selected as Demon Generals can even exceed six meters. They are so large that they are like walking armored tanks, but the volume of their brains is almost only comparable to that of a squirrel.

Such a small brain driving such a large body has very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The super-mini brain paired with the super-sized body makes pain transmission very slow. Many times, the pain nerves will directly ignore these irrelevant injuries, and even many spells that work on the mental aspect are completely ineffective on them.

A fool is not afraid of fear spells and mind control!

If you see a Cyclops that can count to 3, it must be a genius; if it can count to 5, then it will be qualified to compete for the title of Cyclops King; if it can count to 9... don't doubt it, it must have been blessed across realms by a big blue bird!

It is estimated that while trying to bless it, the bird would be cursing -

Fuck! An interdimensional Ogryn!

This Champion Template Cyclops, recruited by the Demon King, is probably somewhere between a genius and a Cyclops King, but its bestial instincts are still far higher than its rationality.

The Cyclops' body odor can almost be considered a biochemical weapon, but this still cannot cover up their excellent sense of smell, especially when "humans," the Cyclops' favorite food, appear. They can almost become Pavlov's dog, and even in a sleeping state, their bodies will react before their brains do.

"Demon Cicada! Metal Claw! Gouge its eyeball!!!"

The Cyclops' sudden awakening also stunned Cheng Tian for a moment, but the next second, he grabbed the Demon Cicada floating on his shoulder and made a strong throwing motion.

Perhaps because what constitutes the Demon Cicada is just a bug shell plus a soul, it does not have the physiological reactions of a conventional life form, and coupled with the fact that it only weighs about 1.2 kilograms with its shell and soul, the speed of its thrown flight is quite fast.

And during the throwing process, the Demon Cicada's small claws had already lit up with a silvery-white light.

As a Cyclops individual with a weak ancestral bloodline, this gatekeeper Cyclops has excellent, almost "eagle eye"-like long-range vision, and it is not difficult for it to casually pick up a large stone and hit a target a kilometer away.

But as a price, the Cyclops with only one eye will have blurred focusing when looking at close-range units, which makes it unable to accurately see the approaching Demon Cicada.

It can be seen that its shoulder and arm muscles have already reacted, wanting to raise its hand to make a blocking action, but...

Too slow!

A flash of silver light, and the Cyclops, which should have very dull pain, let out an extremely shrill scream!

At the same time, the Cyclops' health bar, which was as high as 1015, suddenly became 960.

Metal Claw! Weak Point Attack! Triple Critical Hit! Part Break!
