Chapter 643: New Main Mission
After the Bloodhand Brothers died, Jiu Er quickly recovered her senses.
As her iris turned back to black, the players experienced a dizzying sensation before returning to the outside world.
The sky turned into colored glowing glass again, and the surroundings became dark. The foot was mud instead of the grassland soaked in blood, and the saint was gone.
A system prompt suddenly appeared in front of them.
[Just yesterday, Annan·Austere-Winter was attacked.]
“Huh?” When Lin Yiyi saw the system prompt in front of her, she was taken aback.
Luckily, the system continued to scroll down in the display after a pause.
[Fortunately, Vasika·Rasputin saved Annan at the critical moment.]
Suuankou couldn’t help but cuss, “Shit…”
Suuankou was startled for a moment. At this stage, the players were aware that they had arrived in this world because of the Book of Truth that Annan possessed.
So if something happened to Annan, they would be sent back immediately.
In that instant, Suuankou even felt some regret—why didn’t he keep a few guards by Annan’s side? If His Highness Annan could unleash the power of the Book of Truth’s resurrection ability, the infinitely respawning players could have intercepted the assassin.
Jiu Er muttered in a low voice and rubbed her eyes, “Fortunately, nothing bad happened.”
She stared at the system prompt for so long that her eyes felt a bit dry. The illusion she saw earlier left her feeling somewhat confused.
Citalopram also nodded in agreement.
After that, the plot introduction of the main mission continued to scroll down slowly.
[Winter’s Hand interrogation provided Annan new information—these assassins came from a fringe noble faction called “Northern Alliance”.]
[Not only were they engaged in acts of rebellion, but they were also seeking the power of the Fallen, involved in clandestine dealings with the “Natta County” of the Noah Kingdom and the “Saltpeter Ranch” of the Twin Goddess Republican Federation. It seemed there was even a trace of the “Ice -shredders Army” among them.]
[You’re determined to investigate and gather evidence of their dealings with these factions as soon as possible.]
[You will encounter different types of enemies in three different investigation directions. Defeat those malicious obstructers and choose the direction you have the greatest advantage. Your comrades will cover the remaining directions.]
[Remember, the entire investigation process must be kept confidential.]
[Acquired the main mission: The Power of the Three Phases (1)]
[Mission requirements: Form an elite squad and kill the “Mushroom Eaters” (0/30); form an elite squad and defeat “the Bloodhand Brothers” (2/2); form an elite squad and locate the Ice-shredders (0/1). Choose one.]
Lin Yiyi blurted out, “Huh? Wait a minute…”
Soon, the mission in front of them indicated completion.
[Completed the main mission: The Power of the Three Phases (1)]
[After a grueling battle against the Bloodhand Brothers, you have emerged victorious in the end.]
[From now on, your investigations at Saltpeter Ranch will no longer be hindered. Find evidence of their dealings with the nobles of Austere-Winter before they dispose of the relevant documents.]
[Acquired the main mission: the Power of the Three Phases (2)]
[Mission requirement: Find relevant evidence (0/1).]
The first main mission was scored the moment it popped up.
Immediately afterward, the players immediately got the second main mission.
“What the hell! Difficult battle and narrow escapes.” Suuankou complained, “I thought we didn’t even make a move?”
Didn’t they die after watching we watch the CG?
“Look at the forum.” Citalopram said suddenly, “Others seem to have received the main mission at the first stage.”
“…Oh?” The other three players paused for a moment and looked at the forum.
As expected, the players were in a commotion. Half were complaining about the frightening mission briefing, and the other half were discussing and analyzing the clues raised in the mission briefing.
However, none of them received the main mission of the second stage.
So Citalopram posted the screenshots of the missions she had received, then recounted their experience. Part of the reason for doing so was to let Jiu Er know what happened, as Jiu Er didn’t witness their battle throughout.
After a brief silence, everyone exclaimed.
“Have you really fought?”
“So, you’re a bunch of sidekicks.”
Suuankou complained, “The mechanism of this boss is impossible to defeat.”
Suuankou originally wanted to post the video footage.
However, they discovered that, for some reason, the video was corrupted. This was the first time players encountered the inability to record videos.
“No, it’s possible for us to defeat him.”
Lin Yiyi subconsciously punched Suuankou, who was about to retort. He quickly reacted, “If it’s just us, the Bloodhand Brothers won’t go all out. They wouldn’t appear in front of us either.”
Although the Bloodhand Brothers seemed to have confronted them unreasonably, that was because the Sacrifice Saint was with them.
Otherwise, the players had to fight smaller mobs individually to locate a boss monster at this level.
“The instant kill should be a unique rage mechanism.”
Among the four, Lin Yiyi, who played the most MMOs, analyzed, “Look at his brother. After activating the skill, he died on the spot. Then, after his brother was defeated, the skill was interrupted.”
“So, there’s a specific mechanic involved… like maybe before he uses that skill, we have to activate a defensive shield or hide somewhere to survive through that skill. It’s a berserk mechanism with loopholes. That means we have to eliminate one of them before they realize something’s wrong. Of course, the fight might have stipulated one death among us at the end.”
“Then, we follow the flow of the plot and kill the Bloodhand Brothers.”
Suuankou resisted his sister’s beating and persistently complained, “Then, are we going to shout ‘Return and fight for us the Champion of the Light’ and we will all be resurrected in full health?”
[TN: World of Warcraft reference: Battle of Dazar’alor.]
“I don’t think that’ll work. First, we need to find a way to exclude the saint from the battle with the Bloodhand Brothers…”
“So, we’re merely mascots in this ordeal.”
“That won’t work either. This must be a progression for the Light Vanguard, and afterward, there might be a 24-player raid. In that case, the saint should be frozen at the beginning, and we need to output damage until the boss is in low health. Then, the boss wipes us out, but he’s left half-dead. The saint appears out of nowhere, talks trash, and finishes the job.”
“Hey, that’s more like it.”
Suuankou suppressed his laughter, “Then, our loot drop will be pretty bad.”
“There’s only darkness… in front of my eyes…”
Since she didn’t see the battle, Jiu Er, who didn’t follow the conversation the whole time, finally spoke. She frowned and said in a deep voice, like Batman.
So the players suddenly burst into laughter.
“What are you guys saying?”
Saint Henry walked over behind them with a curious expression on his face.
The players fell silent for a moment.
It was like gossiping about the teacher and suddenly being ambushed by the stealthy teacher from behind.
