If Monsters Could Only Repeat Themselves

If a dragon can only repeat the "Dragon Cart" command, then it is invincible.

If we change the subject, what if Radahn only repeats "Falling Star Beast," what if the Dancer only repeats "Spinning Around," what if Crucible Knight only repeats "Broom Star," and so on?

The three Crocodile Sunlight Kings, only repeat the Lightning Spear.

"You fucking can't do that!"

This is the painful and helpless wail of an adventurer facing Lightning Spear.

As we all know, water conducts electricity.

Although Crocodile Sunlight King can spew magical attacks similar to Lightning Spear, these attacks are only one-time attacks on the ground.

However, when they reach a lake, the lightning will conduct through the water. Even if adventurers manage to dodge the direct attack of the lightning in time, the Lightning Ripple that spread across the lake's surface will cause them to be temporarily paralyzed. This brief paralysis will become a fatal weakness that allows them to be hit by the next Lightning Spear.

Moreover, the Crocodile Sunlight King's attacks follow a certain rhythm: it keeps its distance from the adventurer and spews out lightning one after another, all to catch the adventurer off guard.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have harmed everyone just to satisfy my curiosity!"

If the circumstances hadn't prevented it, Fingel would have kowtowed and admitted his mistake. He truly has no airs whatsoever and can get along with anyone.

Unfortunately, the only way to make amends now is to kill the three Crocodile Sunlight Kings and help everyone escape their predicament.

Taking down three rhythmically attacking Crocodile Sunlight King on water that can slow down? It sounds difficult, and it's difficult to do.

"Ahh!"

Two bolts of lightning shot towards the Guzha Squad, one in front and one behind, leaving them no way to dodge, especially since they were in water with a slowing effect applied. All they could do was helplessly shout "Help!" and close their eyes.

"Smack!"

A thunderous roar flashed by, and the adventurer, finding himself still alive, looked up in disbelief to find himself facing Fingel's handsome smile, who had blocked the lightning.

"As long as you cry for help, I will come to your rescue like a flash of light."

He flicked his blond hair, looking quite dashing and handsome.

That is, if you ignore the large area of charred marks behind him.

There was nothing he could do; he dispersed the first bolt of lightning, but he could only withstand the second one with his own body.

"Puff--"

"Mr. Fingel! You're coughing up blood!"

"Hehe, how could that be? This is the tomato juice I drank this morning."

Fingel wiped the red liquid from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at the three Crocodile Sunlight King leaping around in the distance, and said to Aleya, "Use Flight Spell to save them! Using Flight Spell in this situation shouldn't strengthen the monsters any further!"

Given the resistance to "flight" in the Zane Dungeon, they were really unsure what the consequences of using Flight Spell here would be. However, they couldn't do without it either, as they couldn't catch up with the Crocodile Sunlight King on foot. They could only take the risk and pray that Sien would show leniency.

However, Aleya ultimately did not use her Flight Spell because Matilda had done a great job.

The weapon [Hell March] allows the armor to change its appearance at will when not summoning phantoms, as if giving the armor a life of its own.

Matilda threw her entire right arm armor at Fingel, where it transformed into stilts at his feet!

Walking on stilts in the water? That doesn't reduce the resistance much.

But her intention was not for Fingel to step on her, but to use the stilts as a fulcrum to take off!

With a stomp of his feet on the stilts, Fingel shot towards Crocodile Sunlight King like a streak of light. If he were to fall, Hell March would once again appear beneath his feet.

It looks like a low-spec version of the Navy Six Styles.

Crocodile Sunlight King remained calm. Its beastly instincts allowed it to unleash lightning to restrict Fingel's movement. Then, along the path Finggri was bound to charge, its three gaping maws opened simultaneously.

Two days ago, Lu Lu Wo was caught in this move and was tossed around like a rag doll. It was incredibly embarrassing.

But Fingel's micro-management is better than Lu Lu Wo's, and his teammates are also more supportive.

The Hell March, transformed into stilts, suddenly split into three parts and entered the mouth of the Crocodile Sunlight King. They immediately inflated like balloons, causing the monsters to stagger and fall over. Fingel successfully struck them with his blade.

In this way, although the Hell March has exceeded its maximum effective range and no longer obeys Matilda's command, Fingel has already been sent there, and the monsters can happily call GG!

Go, Fingel, show them the power of the flash!

Suddenly, dark "water plants" appeared above the water's surface.

"Smack!"

Just as Fingel was getting into position to use Gravity Slash Execute the three-headed monster at the same time, the water surface exploded, and the adorable little centipede that had been living in the sewer suddenly appeared and gave him a loving hug!

"Why?"

It was only when he was held in several arms that Fingel finally realized a problem.

No wonder the lake was so quiet; all the monsters were hiding at the bottom of the lake.

They were so focused on the Crocodile Sunlight King that they completely forgot that such a large lake couldn't possibly contain only this one kind of monster!

That's the downside of fighting Elite Monsters in the wild; unexpected monsters can appear at any time and cause trouble!

Before hunting, be sure to clear out all the monsters in the surrounding area, especially wild boars—advice from adventurers who reside in the Forest Area.

Fingel stiffly turned his head to look at his companions, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Guys, help me!"

Being hugged by a centipede made him so disgusted that he could hardly maintain his dignity.

To this day, we still don't know how much courage and resolve it took for the Sword Saint Gapar to dare to get so close to his Rotten Kindred.

"Quickly, save Mr. Fingel!"

The Guzha Squad was quite flustered when facing the monsters, but as soon as they saw Fingel being captured, they suddenly became excited as if they had been given a demon drug.

"Charge! Save Mr. Fingel! No, I mean Brother Fingel!"

Crocodile Sunlight King was stunned for a moment as he looked at the people rushing towards him.

"How did this guy suddenly become so popular?" Matilda was also stunned.

Aleya blended in well with the atmosphere, her Straw Man body swaying as she tossed out various plant seeds, using the cold energy of the plants to condense water and provide people with a foothold.

When this thing was pulled out, everyone fell silent.

"Why didn't you take this out sooner?!" Fingel shouted as he resisted the centipede's loving kisses.

"Hey~"

The scene became extremely chaotic, turning what should have been a dungeon exploration into a brawl for the adventurers.

Soulbound games can be considered horror Yugi even for those who are easily frightened, especially Bloodborne.

But if you become bold and don't care about any scary or disgusting monsters, just charge through with unstoppable momentum, and you'll find that...

Although you might die more often, it's really fun to fight.

The Guzha Squad is now like Blood-Starved Beast have smelled blood; they are determined to rescue their beloved Brother Fingel from the clutches of the Crocodile Sunlight King, even if it means biting him with their teeth or scratching him with their nails.

"Ouch!"

Some people were bitten by the Crocodile Sunlight King's huge mouth and swung back and forth in the air, some even experiencing a death spin.

But this is the tactic of the Guzha Squad, a tactic of the weak. As long as one person is sacrificed to temporarily shut up the mouth of the Crocodile Sunlight King, which is the most lethal, they can have a period of time to deal damage.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were under a berserk spell; their fearless demeanor could stop a child from crying.

In the end, the commotion woke up the Onion Knight, and by the time his round helmet peeked out from the doorway, the battle was over.

The battle was so fierce that he couldn't help but close his eyes and silently return to the campfire.

So when people revived at the kitchen campfire, they found the Onion Knight still fast asleep.

"Don't let me see those crocodiles again!"

Fingel said angrily, then put his arm around the nearest member of the Guzha Squad, looking like they were best buddies.

"Thanks to you guys this time, otherwise I would have been traumatized."

If that centipede were to kiss him, his life would probably end; he would instantly transform into a magical girl and unleash a Grief Seed.

"Unfortunately, one still managed to escape. I wonder if it ran back to the bridge?"

Unable to figure out where the last Crocodile Sunlight King, had gone, people simply stopped caring. After such a battle, the lake had thoroughly disgusted them, and they no longer wanted to go into the sea.

After consulting with Matilda, who had contributed the most to the "Battle to Reclaim Brother Fingel," the group decided to head towards the church in the west that the Onion Knight had mentioned.

Emerging from the kitchen, Fingel casually stabbed the Silver Knight's drum, who was admiring a painting, and led everyone out of the villa before the knight could retaliate.

Irithyll of the Boreal Valley Dorupo, but without the Fog Gate, Elite Monster could not gain people's respect. People jumped around on the rooftops but did not attack Duo Er Bo. After running out of the street, he stopped chasing him.

If someone had carelessly hit Duo Er Bo a few times just now, they probably would have fought the adventurer to the death.

Fingel also greeted the little boy. Although he wanted to help him, he was unlucky and couldn't get a complete set of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley Faction Equipment, so he could only comfort the child a few words as he passed by.

"If the Onion Knight is right, we might find the church if we keep going along this main road to the west," Fingel said.

"Um, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like the further west we go, the more numerous and stronger the monsters seem to be." Tus was so shocked by the sight of the squad of Fire Witch stake that he was slashed by the Transparent Man.

"It's okay, as long as we run fast enough, the monsters won't be able to catch up with us."

Under Fingel's influence, everyone became "shining," relying on their own two legs to overcome any monsters they encountered, freely sweating in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley.

Everyone is running forward, as if proclaiming their youth—a youth that will never look back and will never regret.

Because if they even glanced back, they would explode.

Leaving aside how many Transparent Man are chasing them, there are already more than ten visible Pontiff Knight. Although the Fire Witch is not here, their flames are ever-present, and anyone who is even a step too late will be engulfed by towering pillars of fire.

Why did they run away in the first place?

It seems that in order to escape Duo Er Bo, they ended up attracting more and more monsters along the way, and now they can't stop.

Buildings flashed past him, and Fingel looked up ahead. In the wind and snow, the silhouette of a church was faintly visible.

"Is that the church that the Onion Knight mentioned, the Church Related to the Dark Moon Covenant?"

Fingel finally saw hope and turned to the people, saying:

"I'll stay behind to hold off the monster horde. You all run towards the church, don't stop!"

"Brother Fingel, I want to stay too!"

As a result, no one wanted to leave him, so Fingel smiled and put away his weapons.

"Then let's run together!"
