How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Combined with previous experience, it is obvious that the design of this task is to let the player defeat the puppet arbitrator, then take the energy crystal from it and go underground to complete the subsequent inheritance task.

It seems impossible to accomplish.

But I vaguely thought of a way. If I can effectively use this building and the square outside as terrain, I might be able to kill this puppet arbitrator.

However this method.

At least fifty people are needed to complete it, the maximum number allowed by the illusion.

With just fifteen of them now, it is not just seemingly impossible to accomplish the task, but simply impossible.

There is always a way out, which is well said.

Just when I was about to give up and let the team escape as many as possible.

Ahri discovered something again and clapped his paws at me.

"Everyone retreat to the innermost part of the building."

My eyes lit up and I immediately gave orders to the team.

"Ahri, use the Holy Night Fox Fire to cover us."

Under my leadership, the team immediately retreated into the building.

Just as everyone was retreating, Ahri jumped off my shoulder and floated in the air. A flame as bright as moonlight appeared next to her tiny body.

Fox fire.

The Moon Fox clan uses the power of moonlight to condense flames. The fox fire attacks of ordinary Moon Foxes have extremely powerful destructive power. Ahri is a descendant of the Holy Night Moon Fox, so naturally she can use the more powerful Holy Night Fox Fire.

And unlike ordinary moon foxes, Ahri can retain four fox fires at the same time. These fox fires are usually hidden in Ahri's body, enhancing Ahri's attributes. It can be said that Ahri's terrifying destructive power is partly due to this.

At this moment, the Holy Night Fox Fire also showed its power for the first time.

The white transparent flame, under Ahri's control, swept towards the air and gradually expanded into a ball of blazing light and fire, like a bright full moon.

Finally, it exploded and turned into countless flowing shadows.

The area in front of the round fortress, nearly a quarter of the square, was covered and turned into a strange fire territory. The flames were transparent and bright, as beautiful as crystal, but the damage they caused was extremely terrifying.

The mechanical creatures that stepped into it were turned into charcoal in just a few seconds.

Even the leader-level puppet arbitrator lost 1% of its integrity the moment it came into contact with the flames.

What's important is not just the damage. This sea of ​​fire can last for up to 3 minutes, just like a forbidden area in front of the round castle building, isolating the hordes of monsters outside.

Ahri released two balls of fox fire in succession, blocking the monster's pursuit, and then flew towards the inside of the building.

At the same time, I led the team to the innermost part of the building and found the ventilation duct that Ahri mentioned in a corner.

This seems to be another design of the mission. It does not limit the possibility of the Lone Ranger completing the mission. However, to find this hidden pipe in such a large space, it also requires a lot of luck, and it may even cost death.

We found it with the help of Ahri's ability, so it was just a coincidence.

Beijiu and two other soldiers worked together to open the cover of the pipe, revealing the deep black passage below.

This is a pipe that can accommodate two people at the same time. It is inclined at about 45 degrees, and the four walls are smooth without any place to hold on to.

This made everyone feel a little troubled.

It is unknown how long this passage is exactly, but if, as I said, there is an underground part of the city hidden underneath, then the distance between them must not be just a few yards or even dozens of yards.

If it were hundreds of yards high, the impact of the fall would certainly cause excess damage.

Characters like thieves and mages can use short-term invincibility or instant displacement skills to evade, which also requires sufficient reaction time, while other professions do not have similar skills.

They don't want to experience the feeling of falling to death, which is definitely one of the most frustrating ways to die in the era.

"Don't worry, Ahri will use telekinesis to slow us down. I'll go down and take a look at the situation first."

I saw their concerns and stepped in by holding on to the edge of the pipe.

Ahri flew in right next to me.

Cecilia took back the three original machines and the mechanical gargoyle and followed me.

It’s great to see that both of them are so brave.

The people behind knew that time was running out, so they put aside their hesitation and entered the pipeline one after another.

The last one to enter was Beijiu. He glanced at the group of monsters that had already arrived at the entrance of the building behind him, raised his arms with force to close the lid, and then fell down along the pipe.

After entering the pipeline, the team found that they were being held up by an invisible arm, and their falling speed was greatly slowed down.

But even so, in the black and smooth ventilation ducts, there is still a thrilling feeling like experiencing a roller coaster.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe tens of seconds, or maybe a few minutes.

I felt a faint light ahead.

He immediately raised the staff in his hand and used the flash spell to land steadily near the pipe exit.

Chapter 41: The Secret of Mocris City

The mages including Meng Yi and Makino who were following closely behind him also reacted quickly.

After landing safely, he immediately moved away from the exit.

Only the following soldiers didn't have time to react and were squeezed together, and even a glass of wine was inevitable.

However, because he was the last one to fall, he was not the most pitiful one among the "Hamburgers", which caused several girls to burst into sweet laughter like silver bells.

As the first one to land, I didn’t pay attention to these things, but looked at Ahri next to me.

The Holy Night Fox Fire is extremely powerful and can also enhance Ahri's attributes.

However, there are also negative effects. Every time a Fox Fire is used, Ahri will enter a state of fatigue. If all four Fox Fires are used, it may take Ahri several days to recover.

Even though only three were used, but considering the fact that we used telekinesis to carry the fifteen members of the team down for such a long time.

Ali was a little depressed at this moment, with his little head drooped and resting on my shoulder.

I touched Ali with a bit of heartache.

After letting it return to the pet space to have a good rest, he finally had time to look around.

The room is nearly the size of two basketball courts, with cold metal floors, walls, and ceilings. Densely packed pipes can be seen through the blue transparent pipe troughs. On one side, various instruments and screens can be seen.

If the city of Mocris on the surface is still at the steam machinery stage, the underground part seems to already have shadows of future science fiction.

From the exclamations of the people behind him, one can probably tell the certain shock brought about by the difference in style between the two.

But I think more...

The abbreviated city of Mocris has an underground part, so does the real city of Mocris also exist, and the location of the underground entrance is similar.

I compared the maps on the lower and upper levels and secretly memorized the relative position of the round fortress building in the city map.

If I have the chance later, I might as well go and check it out.

However, that was a territory that I had never set foot on in my previous life. I wonder if I could discover the secrets at that time.

Just when my thoughts were drifting away.

Cecilia, who was also looking around, suddenly seemed to be pulled by some force and walked straight to a mechanical device in the center of the room, and reached out to touch the button on it.

"#*!#……&*"

A soft voice sounded in the room, but no one could understand the meaning of the words.

Until Cecilia opened a page of Loblanche's manuscript and compared the pattern on it.

“Ding—Authentication successful.”

The soft voice then changed into the familiar mainland language.

At the same time, a beautiful figure was projected on the magic screen.

"Dear visitor, thank you for waking me from my slumber. My name is Yura."

Through the explanation of this figure, everyone understood the general situation.

Yura is the virtual intelligence created by the humans of the Ossola civilization, that is, this ancient civilization. To describe it in realistic terms, it is equivalent to artificial intelligence.

There are three other virtual intelligences like her, who work together with the central intelligence to manage the underground world of the city of Mocris.

The underground world was inhabited by the elites of the Osora civilization, who devoted themselves to studying how to develop civilization technology. Mechanical creatures such as mechanical puppets and mechanical dogs were originally created by them to defend the city of Mocris.

The development of technology should be a good thing.

But that group of elite scholars seemed to have touched the "Pandora's Box" that should not have been touched, causing the central intelligence to be infected by a special "virus" and controlling the mechanical creatures inside the city to attack humans.

The result is naturally predictable. The ancient human civilization was almost extinct, and even the cities on the surface were not spared.

With the help of the surviving elite scholars, Yura used a false identity as a cover and successfully resisted the interference of the virus, but due to exhaustion of strength, he fell into a long sleep.

It was not until he was awakened by Loblanche who entered the City of Mocris that he learned that civilization had been destroyed and hundreds of years had passed.

Loblanche agreed to Yura's request, and in order to learn more about the knowledge of ancient civilization, he brought Yura out from the underground of the city of Mocris.

He brought it back to his own wizard tower, and with the help of secret magic and the power of Eula, he created an environment similar to the City of Mocris, and through continuous simulation, he tried to find a way to eliminate the virus.

Although Yura's power is limited and he can only simulate one-fourth of the volume, which is far from the real City of Mocris, it can at least provide a way of thinking.

"One quarter..."

After hearing what Yura said, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Such a big city is only one-fourth of the size. Then, wouldn’t the actual city be more than twice as large as the empire’s hub city?

As someone who had personally experienced it in my previous life, I knew something about the City of Mocris, so I wasn't too surprised and continued to listen to what Yura said.

It was a good idea at first, but just after Loblanche brought Eula back to the Mage Tower, the War of Light and Darkness suddenly broke out.

As is well known to those who have learned about the incident, Los Branch disappeared, and Eula described that in order to avoid exhausting his energy, he fell into a deep sleep again.

But I was a little surprised.

According to her, before he disappeared, Loblanche wrote a letter by hand and left it on the seventh floor of the Mage Tower. Perhaps this letter can reveal Loblanche's last whereabouts. He also left many precious collections there.

Of course, all this can only be achieved after finding a suitable method through the sixth level and then defeating Luo's guarding force on the seventh level.

I think Los Blanche knew that he might not be able to come back, so he left such an arrangement.

He hoped that someone who came later could fulfill his promise with Yura.

"Dear visitor, since you are carrying Lord Losbranche's manuscript, you should have accepted his inheritance mission. May I ask for your help?"

Yura said to Cecilia sincerely.

Faced with the follow-up of the inheritance mission, how could Cecilia refuse?

Seeing Cecilia's agreement, Yura showed a grateful look and described the follow-up of the mission.

"Then I will start the simulation. Due to your limited strength, my current goal is, if possible, to help me regain my ownership of the South District. I will also assist you."

Yura was originally the manager of the southern area of ​​the underground world. He lost his management authority in order to resist the virus invasion. Now he is controlled by the virus differentiated from the central intelligence. If he can get the authority back, he will be able to provide unlimited help in the future.

But what makes me curious is the other party’s last sentence.

"Ms. Yura, how can you assist us?"

Yura on the screen smiled slightly and said to Cecilia that the title had changed.

"Inheritor, can you allow me to access your mechanical sensors?"

The so-called mechanical sensor is the terminal used by mechanical alchemists to control mechanical creations.

Although Cecilia was confused, she agreed to the prompt that popped up in front of her.

Chapter 42: The Advancement of Primitive Machinery

Along with the disappearance of the magic screen.

The mechanical sensor that Cecilia wore on her waist suddenly projected a tall figure made of light blue particles, floating beside her.

It was Yura.

According to her, from now on she will live in Cecilia's mechanical sensor and provide Cecilia with necessary assistance until Cecilia completes the inheritance mission, and then she will officially become the virtual intelligence that assists her.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, and even I couldn't help but stick out my tongue.

I thought that if I took it out like this, it would definitely be very cool and eye-catching, just like the old grandfather in a novel.
