You can clear the game with just one life by relying on a useless person!

Chapter 79 Fire! Fire!

The instant Bronya's gaze fell upon him at such close range, Yu Che immediately felt a familiar pressure wash over him.

Although the [Power] effect is weakened due to the level reduction, she can still exert great pressure on specific targets when she wants to.

However, a red light immediately shone on You Che's body, instantly freeing him from the almost immobilizing pressure and restoring his ability to move.

"Oh?" Bronya's eyes flickered slightly; she seemed to have just heard a clear battle cry.

You Che smiled and said, "This time the situation is different."

The knight's exclusive skill, War Cry, grants allied units immunity to mental negative effects such as fear and stun for a period of time, while also increasing their attack and defense. It is the strongest group buff skill in the early stages of the game.

"It seems so." Bronya even smiled. "You always seem to surprise me, but if you didn't, I wouldn't be interested in you."

"It's a pity I couldn't experience it in person last time—but this time, it seems you've prepared a little something special for me."

Faced with her clearly curious gaze and words that concealed utter contempt, You Che simply grinned: "Trust me, you'll be satisfied."

"Really? That's something to look forward to!"

The instant she finished speaking, Bronya raised her hand, and several black ribbons swept out, piercing straight down at Youche!

However, this swift and sudden attack missed its mark. Yu Che simply took a step to the side and skillfully avoided the attack.

"That's really impressive."

Bronya's eyes flickered slightly, a smile playing on her lips, but she made no move.

You Che replied with a smile, "You flatter me."

At the same time, he naturally shifted his body to adjust the shield in his left hand, and with just this slight change, he once again dodged the ribbon that came from behind!

It was a follow-up to the attack. After You Che dodged it, the ribbons turned around and attacked again from a blind spot behind him, but he also dodged them seemingly casually.

"----oh?"

This time, Bronya was genuinely surprised.

She immediately dropped the pretense, pointed her finger, and the cluster of ribbons dispersed, biting at various parts of You Che's body like venomous snakes!

You Che immediately retreated, his feet moving nimbly, his figure flashing. Although his speed was not too fast, he was able to avoid the ribbon's attack at the most critical moment, and even counterattack a few times.

After several rounds, the ribbons began to show signs of exhaustion, and even gradually became dim and illusory.

Bronya immediately waved her hand again, sending out a large swarm of ribbons that swept away, trying to leave Yu Che with nowhere to escape. However, Yu Che turned around at this moment, seized the opportunity, and swung his shield!

"clang--"

With a slightly muffled echo, he deflected the flying ribbon with his shield!

Shield parry!

In Dark Fantasy, you can parry and block using certain weapons and small to medium-sized shields. This is not a skill, but an action that depends entirely on the type of equipment and the timing.

Of course, there are also upgraded skill-based blocking techniques, but that's another topic altogether.

In short, it is very easy for Yu Che to parry; he had used it repeatedly when dealing with the Wolf Fang Knights before.

However, using a shield to block has a different characteristic from parrying with a weapon: if the parry is successful, even if the enemy's attack power far exceeds his own defense power, the attack will not be able to damage him; at most, it will knock him back.

So even if it's Bronya's ribbon attack, he can use this move to avoid damage at crucial moments!

After being perfectly parried, the enemy will enter a vulnerable state. You Che throws a whole bottle of holy water in the backhand, hitting the brand-new ribbons, so hot that they writhe in mid-air as if they were really alive.

However, just before Youche could finish off the enemy, Bronya waved her hand, scattering the ribbons.

This time, she looked at You Che with a strange glint in her eyes: "You know—my attack methods, why? Where have you seen me fight?"

You Che just smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe I'm just a combat genius, or maybe I'm just lucky?"

""

Bronya returned the smile: "So, how are you going to beat me? Is your tactic just to stall for time and wait for reinforcements?"

Even after being exposed for stalling for time, You Che remained calm and simply said, "Guess?"

"You're really not a good child, since that's the case—"

As Bronya was speaking, the wings of light behind her suddenly unfurled again, radiating dazzling brilliance!

Countless ribbons then extended from the wings of light, raining down on Youche below!

"6

"Then let's try avoiding this?"

Faced with the torrential downpour of ribbons, Yu Che did only one thing.

He took a plain-looking short gun out of his backpack and threw it into the black rain without thinking!

"Buzz"

The javelin exploded the moment it made contact with the rain, turning into a huge expanse of dazzling points of light!

The Blessed Spear has proven its worth once again!

Of course, it was impossible to completely negate Bronya's attack with just this one gun. In fact, the gun only delayed the rain for a moment before the burst of light was completely dissipated.

But that momentary delay was enough. Yu Che waved his hand, released and pulled the chain, and escaped the attack's range!

Bronya's AOE ribbon attack has poor turning performance and is far less agile than her previous small-scale attacks, causing him to miss his target once again.

"You actually—"

Bronya was even more surprised now.

During their last meeting, she only realized that You Che was the key to changing the course of the battle, but she didn't know what he had done. Moreover, You Che wasn't originally part of the main fighting force in Adela Town.

It wasn't until this personal encounter that the Four Heavenly Kings truly felt the surprise.

Why does this little guy, who is only LV10—or even just LV3 not long ago—know the characteristics of all his moves so well?

Even Bronya, who has existed for an unknown period of time, felt a strong sense of bewilderment about this—while at the same time becoming increasingly determined to possess Yuche.

She had never seen such an interesting human being before; how could she let him go?

Moreover, even from the perspective of the overall situation of the dark races, she could not allow You Che to exist.

It was at this moment that a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him, making him immediately realize that Bronya was probably really keeping a close eye on him.

But when he stepped forward, he was already mentally prepared for it.

The Bronya in front of me is just an avatar. Even if I destroy it, everything she sees will be transmitted back to the main body, and Yu Che's situation will inevitably be exposed.

But as long as we can keep this clone of her, we can buy a lot of time, and it's definitely worth it!

In that instant, their eyes met, and they both made up their minds.

Bronya immediately flapped her wings of light and charged toward Youche!

You Che immediately retreated, shouting, "Now!"

With his shout, a large number of vines instantly rose from the ground, turning the place into a primeval forest in an instant!

The vines lashed and swirled, lunging at Bronya, while Yuche simultaneously threw out his hound claws and poisoned throwing knives, which flew off together!

However, Bronya simply twirled and swirled her ribbons, deflecting all the attacks!

Although this world has a "panel" system similar to a game system, it is ultimately not a game and cannot utilize some common game mechanics that rely on code.

With such a large level difference, neither Qingling's vines nor Youche's throwing attacks would have any effect.

However, You Che was fully aware of this.

Bronya dodged the attack, paused only briefly, and was about to charge at him again. But at that moment, light suddenly flashed around them once more, and a massive wave of golden chains swept out!

Bronya: "!"

So the powerful attack just now was just a smokescreen to keep her from noticing that the magic array was being activated?

The "Chain of Inevitable Break" reappeared, and three hidden figures were revealed. The other three people besides the guild leader were all here.

Needless to say, these chains won't last long; they're just a temporary delaying tactic.

"Where's the magic cannon? Pull it up quickly!"

You Che had already created some distance and shouted at the same time.

As he shouted, the door of a dilapidated building on the other side was pushed open, and a cannon decorated with a lot of gems and engraved with complex magic patterns was pushed out. Standing next to it were the warrior Lin Fan, the crossbowman Sean, Luna and Liss, and the LV30 guild leader.

Bronya: "————!"

The Magic Cannon is the most powerful standard siege weapon in the Western Kingdom, with terrifying power. A single shot is enough to cause huge damage to the Erosion War Beast. Even the defense line of Juventus City is only equipped with ten of them.

Watchtown has almost no decent defensive facilities, so it shouldn't have this thing in the first place.

And that was indeed the case; the magic cannon did not come from the town's guild, but from Mr. Mycroft's warehouse.

Last time, when Youche went into the warehouse to select equipment, he noticed this big guy piled in the corner and covered by anti-magic cloth, and he kept an eye on it.

Although it's unclear how Mycroft obtained this absolutely prohibited substance, now is the time to put it to good use.

As for Mr. Mycroft's opinion? Considering he himself has disappeared, it's obviously not important at all.

"This cannon was smuggled in; it must have been decommissioned from some frontline fortress!"

The guild leader was standing behind the magic cannon, charging the behemoth. Each time the magic cannon was fired, it required a professional of at least level 30 to charge it, and others to help control the trajectory, which was quite troublesome.

Therefore, Yuche arranged for Ries and Luna to call trustworthy companions in advance, and secretly took away the guild leader, finally making preparations at this moment.

"The magic array inside is badly damaged; it can probably only be activated once!" the guild leader shouted. "Aim carefully!"

Lin Fan, Liss, and the other three immediately worked together to push the cannon, aiming at Bronya, who was heavily bound by golden chains.

Bronya realized something was wrong. Before she was injured, the magic cannon was nothing to her, but now she could not ignore its power.

She immediately unleashed her magic, attempting to break free from the golden chains.

However, it was too late.

The magic cannon was fully charged. The guild leader exchanged a glance with Yu Che, who understood immediately and shouted, "Fire! Fire!!"

"boom-!!"
