Elden Clergyman

Then he reached out and touched the portal.

After choosing to enter, accompanied by a familiar trance, Lord appeared at the location where he had just come out of Stoneville and was about to enter Lake Lienia.

At the same time, the moment he opened his eyes, the system prompt sounded.

[Pyroxene Crystal Lake Lienia]

【State of Order: Complete Disorder】

[Special Field: Thunderous Qualitative Change]

[Thunder Quality Change: Network fluctuations have occurred in this area. Your connection is unstable and may experience various issues such as lag, delays, and misalignment.]

[Stop downloading what you are doing with Thunder, it may help]

[——A tip from a kind-hearted white dragon]

silence.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of gnashing teeth.

"Heath, you deserve to die..."

Is this a field that humans can come up with?

And does this thing have anything to do with magic?

【How come time and space magic is not magic? 】

【Magic discrimination, right?】

Looking at the two messages on the ground, Lord raised his two middle fingers.

"Okay, just wait. Don't let me catch you, or I'll pluck all your crystals out."

But having said that, Lord realized something was wrong after taking just two steps forward.

It’s so laggy.

I walked forward four or five steps, then came to my senses and suddenly found myself back to my original position. All the steps I had just taken were canceled.

Moreover, this cancellation is random in nature. Sometimes you can take a hundred steps forward without any problem, and sometimes you take one step forward and one step back.

Although it is generally stable and you don't have to go to waste a lot of time, it is still a bit uncomfortable to have your schedule canceled from time to time.

But the journey wasn't the worst part.

After walking forward for a while, Lord encountered a small monster.

It was a Cuckoo Knight whose body was covered with crystals. After seeing him, he rushed up with his sword raised.

To be honest, this Cuckoo Knight is not that strong. Although he has changed into a skin that looks very powerful, his attack method is not much different from that of the ordinary Cuckoo Knight.

It's just a very ordinary chopping of people, occasionally picking up a small piece of pyroxene and throwing it under the feet, and then raising a few small glowing light spots for long-range attacks.

The desire to attack is not high, and the value is also average, or even very low.

But the problem is that Lord is really stuck.

Seeing the knight coming towards him, Lord swung his hound fang and struck him.

Then he watched helplessly as his blade passed through the opponent's body without causing any harm.

boom--

Before the opponent even raised his hand, he was stabbed and his health bar was reduced a little.

Then, just as Lord raised the knife and prepared to chop for the second time, there was a "bang" sound.

The Cuckoo Knight on the opposite side fell down directly.

Eh, no.

He had clearly killed the opponent with one strike, but looking down at the corpse in front of him, Lord couldn't feel happy at all.

Heath, you fucking...

After a moment, Lord took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and switched his equipment.

Lani's Knight Armor, Ancient Contract +1, Dragon Mother Emblem Amulet, Magic Wyrmprint Amulet (Increases Magical Defense), Grace Dew Drop Amulet +1, Ancestral Horn (Restores Mana Upon Killing Enemies)...

Equip the Profaned Sword in your left hand (which restores health when killing someone), and raise a brass shield in your right hand.

Then, don't be in a hurry, push forward little by little. When you encounter a monster, throw the throwing knife to lure it, then raise the shield and play it like an RPG game. Don't dodge or retreat, just confront it head-on.

When you encounter a place with many monsters or chain hatred, cast Baizhi's Rejection on yourself, and then use the combat skill of Desecration of Holy Sword when the opponent comes over.

It is similar to a long-range flare cannon, with a long distance and a large range, and it can restore health after hitting the enemy. It is the wheelchair among wheelchairs.

Because the soldiers on the periphery were all ordinary soldiers, and their numbers were sparse and not high, although it was a bit troublesome, after spending quite a while, Lord still cleared the periphery with this method.

In the end, he encountered a crystal soul shrimp as his boss. He beat the opponent head-on and turned it into a grilled shrimp by repeating the combat skills of the Holy Sword of Blasphemy.

[Obtain 'Soul Pyroxene Fragment']

[A fusion of soul crystals and pyroxene life fragments]

[This is the result of White Dragon Hiss's research]

[Can be used to enhance pyroxene magic]

[Pyroxene Magic aims to explore the stars and their lives]

[Soul magic originates from the study of the soul of life itself]

After combining the two

[Soul Pyroxene Crystal is born]

There is also a line of handwritten annotations below, which is different from the system text above and the handwriting is very beautiful.

[Of course, this is just a basic prototype, just watch it for fun.]

After collecting the fragments, Lord looked up and saw that a golden blessing slowly appeared at the fallen shrimp body.

After walking over and lighting it up, many golden runes lit up around him. After checking them one by one, he found that most of them were people who had made a covenant with him.

[Unlike others, the Oathbearer can respond to your call at any time]

[And in some deep dungeons, you can and only can summon the Oathsworn to fight]

[The higher the oath level, the deeper the level that can appear in the dungeon]

This is what the message on the ground reads.

But even though there are many golden symbols, Lord can only choose one person to help because only a small part of the map has been explored so far.

After thinking for a moment, Lord reached out to Chaos' golden symbol.

After all, in this kind of lag situation, the risk of close combat is too great, and the area of Lake Lienya is basically flat land, which is also very suitable for the use of her two sniper rifles.

but......

"Katon? What katon?"

After being called out by Lord and having the situation explained, Chaos looked around with some confusion, then turned to look at Lord.

"Everything is normal here, except you."

Lord: “…?”

WTF?

A moment later, after a series of tests, Lord was sure.

It's not this world that's stuck, and it won't even affect the people he summons, but only himself.

Heath, you fucking...

After realizing this, Chaos showed a playful expression on his face.

After all, from the time they met until now, even when she tried to seduce Melina, the other party had always been quite calm and was able to come up with a set of effective coping methods.

But now, it was the first time she saw him like this, even relying on her...

"...What are you doing?"

Lord, who was thinking about how to break the deadlock, was suddenly pulled into an embrace by a hand.

Chaos lowered his head, blew air on his face, and then spoke with a smile.

"Let me defile you."

"...Stop messing around, we're in the dungeon."

"I know."

She nodded.

"But that's why I can defile you better, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she reached out and fiddled with Lord's face.

Scratch your chin, pinch your cheeks, scratch the tip of your nose...

Although I felt a little itchy and it was not conducive to my thinking, I thought that I had called her out to help, and what she did was not excessive, so I let her have some fun.

So Lord didn't care. After sighing, he lay in Chaos' arms, thinking about the monsters that might appear next and the possible ways to fight them.

Chaos didn't bother him, just held him in his arms, looking down at the person in his arms, and gently "defiled" him in various ways.

for a long time.

"Chaos."

"I am here, my dear countryman."

"This time, how about I be your shield?"

The stained fingers paused slightly.

"Okay."

Chapter 106: Hey, what happened to you?

After a short break, the exploration began again.

And as mentioned before, after this started, Lord, who was unable to fight due to lag, acted as Chaos's guard.

Change into the equipment with the highest defensive performance, pick up the shield with the highest magic and physical resistance, remove the Ancestral Horn Amulet, and replace it with something called a Large Shield Amulet that I picked up on the Yatan Plateau when I was exploring the map before.

As for the Oath, although from the perspective of defense, the Ancient Contract that increases physical damage reduction is definitely the most suitable.

But because he had unlocked a certain oath skill when he was with Tolina before, after thinking about it, Lord switched the oath to Chaos's "Defiled Fire", wanting to see if he could unlock something new.

Then, after adjusting his equipment and oath, Lord also slightly adjusted his own points, distributing the extra output points to health and stamina, and switched his weapon to an ordinary rapier he had picked up before.

As for why not use the puppet's cane for shield stabbing...

The agility and sensitivity required by that thing are a bit high. If you give points to it evenly, the output will be higher, but the health and stamina will be much lower.

And seeing how laggy he was right now, Lord had basically given up on attacking, and simply focused on defense, acting as a shield for Chaos wholeheartedly.

Then, after all preparations were completed, the exploration began.

There's not much to say about the process. Lord was holding the line in the front, and Chaos was providing long-range output in the back.

The game is very boring, basically it's just pure numerical comparison.

Then, relying on their own high attributes, they crush those monsters whose skins have become very cool but whose moves and attributes have not been improved much.

There were Cuckoo Knights covered in crystals, Platinum Sons with crystals growing out of their bodies, Crystal Ghosts that could cast small spells and perform ranged attacks, and Crystal Shrimp that would occasionally pop out...

But no matter what kind of monster you encounter, the way to deal with it is the same.

That is, Lord rushed forward, raised the shield, and did not attack. He just stayed there, holding on to the defense without letting go.

Then let the monster hit his energy bar. Occasionally, after breaking the shield, see how much blood is lost. If it is small, wait for the automatic recovery of the Amulet of Grace. If it is large, use a blood bottle.

As for the rest, it depends on when Chaos kills these monsters.

To be honest, this style of play is actually quite strong. Even when there is lag, the progress is still very stable.
