Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 11 The Law of Conservation of Smile
Arthur is one of the most unique knight characters in terms of combat skills.

The vast majority of knights are characters who are good at close combat. Whether it is heavy weapons that focus on attack, swords and shields that are balanced in offense and defense, or lances and axes that are good at charging into battle, they are all weapons commonly used by knight characters.

Even the knight princess Arthur, who has transformed into a female body, normally uses typical knight weapons such as guns and swords to release light cannons.

But Arthur of Demon Village is a strange magic knight who specializes in medium and long-range throwing and can cast spells with the help of special armor.

Whether it is a knight's spear, a short-handled knife, a magic flame, or a secondary armor such as a shield, it can become a throwable object in Arthur's hands.

At this moment, Cheng Tian, ​​who was wearing the same strawberry boxer briefs as Arthur, naturally also possessed the corresponding abilities.

[Knight Throw: Template skill, active skill. Arthur's knight armor, so fragile it shatters with a single blow, makes him a rare magic knight specializing in medium-range throwing, possessing the ability to throw most cold weapons.]

You can condense throwable objects based on the cold weapons/shields currently in your main-hand or off-hand equipment slots by consuming MP. These throwable objects will perfectly inherit the damage of the corresponding weapons while gaining corresponding characteristics. The weight and specifications of the throwable object blueprint will affect the throwing speed, throwing distance, and throwing rate.

Each throw consumes 5 MP. After a certain number of consecutive throws, a cooldown period of at least 5 seconds will begin.

Among the weapons currently held by Cheng Tian, ​​only the Vampire Killer whip weapon does not meet the "Knight Throw" judgment. As for the gentleman's cane that he just got not long ago, although the weapon damage is the lowest among all weapons, the special effects after it is converted into a projectile have been demonstrated.

The Gentleman's Cane throws have a small chance of casting Transfiguration on the target, but it can only be effective on one target at a time, without any additional consumption.

It is not known whether it is a problem with the transformation itself or for other reasons, but the unit that is transformed into a duck will still retain some of the characteristics of the original body.

The stupid and clear college student was an ordinary white duck with nothing special about it, the zombie turned into a zombie duck that looked like a dried sausage, and the carnivorous plant that was hit by Cheng Tian turned into a plant duck that could only move within a fixed range.

Cheng Tian first threw out the gentleman's cane with his left hand. When he saw the carnivorous plant turn into a plant duck, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he began to exert force with his right hand and threw the throwing object condensed by the little demon machete forward.

In addition to giving Cheng Tian the protagonist template, Arthur's Proof also loads Arthur's throwing skills into him. Like the vampire hunter template, this kind of basic skill loading is implicit and will not be directly displayed on the panel.

The damage of the little demon machete is similar to that of the one-handed axe, except that the upper and lower limits fluctuate a little more. This slash of the knife directly chopped off the plant duck's head.

If you observe the wound at this time, you will find that there are burn marks on it.

Obviously, Cheng Tian chose to superimpose the Vampire Killer on the Little Demon Machete, but because the types of weapons were very different, he only gave it a pitiful 3 points of holy damage. However, these 3 points of extra holy damage were perfectly replicated on the projectiles.

At this moment, Cheng Tian is really strong. If you don't look at the panel and only look at the skills, he has already begun to transcend the category of a novice and reached the level of being able to face D-level copies directly.

If the zombie tide were to be of the same scale as before, he alone would be able to complete the task of clearing the tide.

There are still unopened graves on the road leading to the exit of the cemetery, and new zombies will still crawl out of them, but the key is that zombies will no longer refresh behind Cheng Tian. When an encirclement cannot be formed, the zombies can no longer pose a threat to Cheng Tian.

But it can be seen that after trying two or three long-range throws, Cheng Tian stopped throwing and instead took out the whip again, killing the enemy in front of him at the lowest cost.

Because he knew very well what he was about to face.

Just to the side of the cemetery exit, a figure with a red body and wings on its back, a bit like a gargoyle, was sitting quietly on a stone base.

This is the culprit that prevents 99% of Ghosts 'n' ...

Strictly speaking, the Crimson Demon Clan was the true, fully-attended, miscellaneous group within the entire demonic realm. While theoretically the relationship between the Crimson Demon Clan and the Demon King was more like an employment relationship, their status as fully-attended miscellaneous soldiers meant that the vast majority of them were at the bottom of the social ladder.

As for monsters like zombies, red-eyed crows, and man-eating plants, they are nothing more than objects from the human world that have been eroded by magic power. They are not even worthy of being classified as part of the official demonic forces.

However, even if they are fully-attended soldiers, they are still demons. And in terms of the total number of player kills in the history of the game, the Red Demon Clan far exceeds all of its colleagues, even its immediate superiors.

Because of his popularity, the Red Devil even has his own trilogy of spin-offs, and has made guest appearances as a BOSS in games such as "SNK vs. CAPCOM".

It is probably because of this popularity and the terrifying number of player kills that it has transcended its own settings and was judged by the Chosen Space as an elite template demon unit.

But there is one most essential thing about the Red Devil that has not changed, and that is its race, which actually belongs to the gargoyle category.

As the name suggests, the Gargoyle will maintain a stone statue state with almost all skills stagnant when it is not in combat and resting. As long as you do not enter its guard range, it will remain in the stone statue state.

We can actually draw a conclusion from the fact that the Chosen Space sets "Killing Elite Red Devils" as a side quest. At least in the current copy, it is not something that players must face directly, and they can avoid it by taking a detour.

According to the rules of space, the main mission can be completed as long as the right method is found. On the contrary, some of the side missions are actually equivalent to challenge missions, and the mortality rate is even higher than that of the main missions.

At least killing the elite Red Devil is not something that novice players can deal with.

At this time, Cheng Tian was leaning against a tombstone, crouching down and staring at the sleeping Red Devil in the distance. He couldn't help but start breathing through his nose, and his body began to shake slightly uncontrollably.

How to say it, reason tells Cheng Tian that bypassing the Red Devil is the safest choice. No matter what, he should prioritize ensuring his physical strength. After all, there is a Cyclops that must be defeated in the main task. Only if he passes the level safely and walks out of the copy alive will everything make sense... But Cheng Tian's physical instinct gave the answer first.

Fight! (Meaningless close-up)
The Red Devil, who was assigned the duty of guarding by his superiors, slept soundly. Even the chain of zombies that triggered the rampage did not attract his attention at all.

But suddenly, a human presence appeared in the perception.

Although the Red Devil was somewhat languid, he still actively released the seal from his stone statue state. He flapped his wings twice, wanting to see which ignorant human would die at his hands...

As a result, he heard the sound before he saw the person. The typical sound of collision between metal armor parts entered the Red Devil's hearing first.

Arthur?

In the Red Devil's impression, the knights of the human kingdom were basically all dead, leaving only Arthur, the strongest of the human side. At the cost of being seriously injured, he stole the map and escaped to the cemetery.

...Could it be that today is finally my turn as the Red Devils Captain to rise to prominence?!

As the thought came to his mind, a smile appeared uncontrollably on the Red Devil's face, and his mouth opened wide like a bird's beak.

Then it saw a man named Cheng rushing towards it in a straight line. He was fully armed, with his mask open and a ferocious smile on his face, but it had no idea who he was.

For some reason, the smile on the Red Devil's face disappeared.
