Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 25: Kill the Cyclops and Complete the Novice Trial
A blind Cyclops with no sense of smell has become a perfect target.

The giant monster could only jump and scream in place, using his hands and feet to dig holes in the solid ground, which only made him more restricted.

But then, pains that seemed to be able to hurt the soul began to appear in various parts of the body one after another.

This is the damage caused by the Goblin Cleaver projectile with holy damage attached.

Yizidian and Xuecang have a very clear positioning of themselves, which is to serve as Cheng Tian's humanoid mobile additional inventory.

Because when they were resting at the campfire before, Cheng Tian had talked to them about the conditions for using "Knight Throw" without any hesitation. So after noticing that Cheng Tian's straight sword was stuck into the troll's nose and seeing that the troll had lost its tracking ability, the two of them decisively found an opportunity to throw the baseball bat, two-handed hammer, goblin machete and one-handed axe in their inventory to a position closer to Cheng Tian, ​​and then retreated into the grass at a relatively safe distance without any reluctance.

It is obvious that the two college students who were noisy at the beginning have completely learned to read people's expressions and protect themselves.

Even a blind Cyclops was not someone they could afford to offend as weaklings, and at this critical juncture, it didn't matter whether they protected themselves or not. If Cheng Tian still died at this point, they probably wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Cheng Tian's knight throw requires the currently held weapon as a template.

The Gentleman's Cane does too little damage, and the Vampire Slayer doesn't meet the criteria for projectile generation, so the timely rain in the two humanoid inventory slots is still very helpful.

Even though only the vampire killer could maximize the holy damage, Cheng Tian, ​​who had already been hit by a throw, no longer wanted to fight the giant monster in close combat... What was more unbearable than being paralyzed by a beating was the horrible stench on the opponent's body.

So, with the support of enough mana bars and innocent souls, Cheng Tian began to circle around the Cyclops like the moon orbiting the earth, and the new projectiles enchanted with holy damage also began to output to the monster.

For the giant monsters with thick skin and flesh, the damage from both the blunt force attack of the two-handed hammer and the blade attack of the goblin machete are greatly reduced. Only the additional single-digit holy damage can take full effect, and the fight is like a scrape.

The only real weak spot on the giant monster's body was its eyeballs, but they were tightly covered by its hands. Moreover, after being hit by several two-handed hammers, it even covered the back of its head, which was a secondary weakness.

Now the giant monster no longer moved around, but curled up on the spot with his hands on his head, as if he was ready to defend to the end.

Cheng Tian, ​​who was running in circles, found it a little hard to imagine how he would defeat the Cyclops with conventional attack methods if he had not loaded the vampire hunter template with the holy whip, or if he was not there at all.

However, what Cheng didn't know was that if he wasn't there, the red demons and giant monsters in this dungeon wouldn't be so terrible...

Let’s take a look at Capcom’s most famous “dynamic difficulty adjustment mechanism” in later generations~
If Cheng Tian hadn't been there, and the ten or so people at the beginning were still alive, then the Red Devils in this Novice Trial would at most be boss templates, the giant monsters would at most be elite templates, and the miscellaneous soldiers might more frequently drop things like knives, lances, fireballs, etc. that had a limited number of throws and could be used without Arthur's abilities, and could cause more effective damage to the enemy.

Theoretically, as long as there are enough novices who survive and dare to fight, it is impossible to guarantee that all of them will survive, but there should be no problem in passing this first level by sacrificing less than half of them.

Of course, the corresponding situation is that it is almost impossible to obtain the "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" skill, and the achievement module will probably be delayed for another one or two books to be opened.

It was also thanks to the fact that Cheng Tian had accumulated hundreds of innocent souls in his previous journey, and his MP always maintained a data of over 100. Otherwise, even if he wanted to scrape the champion monster today, he might not be able to do so.

However, in order to maximize the single damage, Cheng Tian finally chose the two-handed hammer, which also costs 1 mana, as the main throwing object. The throwing speed is indeed slow, but now he is hitting a fixed target that does not move, so the speed is not important.

In this way, Cheng Tian reduced the giant monster's health at a slow but steady rate, from more than 10 to more than , and the total health directly dropped to less than %... Even so, it was still on par with Cheng Tian who had just entered the book.

Although he couldn't see the health bar, Cheng Tian could vaguely feel the giant monster's pain and weakness, and estimated that it was on the verge of sudden death.

But Cheng didn't relax, instead he became even more vigilant. This was because the giant monster, crouching with its head in its hands, had a basic ability that should have been in the original game, but it never showed it.

Is it because it can’t be used? Or is it because it’s waiting for an opportunity?

Suddenly, the troll moved.

It no longer used its hands to protect its head, the front door was wide open, and the whole head became abnormally red.

When Cheng Tian saw this scene, he retreated without hesitation and kept a sufficient distance.

The next second, Cheng Tian saw that the giant monster actually opened its blind eyes that could no longer see normally, raised its neck, opened its mouth towards the sky, and then launched a huge, scorching fireball into the sky.

The fireball also shot straight into the sky and finally exploded in the night sky, like a gorgeous fireworks show at the end.

Yes, Cheng Tian was always wary of the giant monster's fire ability. Although he didn't know that the giant monster had the characteristics of "descendant of the weak bloodline of the Fire Titan", he always remembered that whether it was the Demon Village or the Big Demon Village, no matter how it was modeled, the giant monster could breathe fire.

The Chosen Space has obviously made reasonable adjustments to the giant monsters based on their race, allowing them to obtain fire breath once and only once, which can kill any regular invader instantly.

Unfortunately, its vision and sense of smell were both impaired, so it couldn't find Cheng Tian who was circling randomly.

The giant monster who was chosen as the Demon General naturally had his own unique characteristics.

When it realized that it was completely powerless against the invaders, the giant monster made the final choice in its life, which was to send its final ripple to the other monsters in the Demon King's Castle.

A new human hero has appeared!
Just after spitting out this last fireball to warn his fellow demons, the giant monster's health, which originally had nearly 100 points, instantly dropped to zero, and then his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The huge fireball just now exceeded its own endurance limit. It was no longer enough for the pitiful 5MP, but it also squeezed out the extremely thin Fire Titan blood in its body.

The backlash of squeezing out the power of blood is manifested as a sudden drop in vitality.

The one-eyed monster guarding the entrance to the Demon King's Castle is dead.

At the same time, a dazzling colorful light appeared on the chest of the giant monster lying on the ground. A large metal key that looked like the stereotypical one in medieval Europe directly burned through its breastplate and floated in the air. Then, as if guided by something, it flew directly in front of Cheng Tian.

The moment Cheng Tian held the colorful light key, three things happened at the same time.

First, a whole new set of knight armor was put on Cheng Tian, ​​covering his naked appearance of only having strawberry underwear.

Then, the tightly closed entrance gate to the Demon King's Castle not far away slowly opened.

Finally, the time for the main mission was completely frozen at 3 hours, 45 minutes and 39 seconds.

[The main mission is completed and the settlement phase begins.]
