The Trickster's Ninth Episode

A monster about his size?He, who was three or four times bigger than him, had been stabbed before, so that was nothing.

If there are textual research parties or more careful players in the audience, you may be able to find many details in the fan game Ren Amamiya, which are very new compared to the original.

The entire arena, whether it is the atmosphere or the surrounding decoration equipment, does not have the decayed sense of time immersed in the game.

This point should have a clearer understanding after seeing the King of Fools on the throne who is sober and watching the arena.

Born out of war, the young arena, even the audience are passionate fighters, not nobles who indulge in fun.

Viewers watching the live broadcast may have noticed this difference, but they were quickly distracted.

Ren Amamiya, who canceled the enemy's collision damage, really showed the audience a wave.He moves freely between fools and fighters like a butterfly wearing flowers, making moves and swinging swords that are completely impossible in the game.

Use the sword to separate the boomerang; use the shadow dash to get behind the enemy, then drive the bone nail into the enemy's body, and pull it up to cut it; cut off the limbs to make the enemy fall to the ground, and then pursue the fallen enemy .

Even with the double jump and the moth-wing cloak, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated twice in the air, avoiding the acid scattering of the original Aspid, turned sideways 270 degrees, and kicked him to the spikes on the ground.

The only pity is the handling of the self-exploding bat. In the game, you can take advantage of the increased length of the bone nail with the mark of pride, and take the initiative to blow it up at a distance just short of yourself.

But even if the explosion in VR can’t reach you, it can reach your bone nails. The force of the blast makes it possible for the weapon to be dropped, so when dealing with self-exploding bats, it is not as chic and handsome as in the original game.

But it didn't take long for Amamiya Ren to find a new way to deal with it. Although the soul fire can't be let go, it can leave a short residual trajectory in the air with the wave of the bone nail. This trajectory is enough to detonate the self-explosion that swoops over. bat.

It was also the audience who saw Yu Gonglian slash a white sword mark in advance while floating and retreating, and then a self-explosive bat that had just been released from the cage collided with the soul fire, causing a violent explosion in the air.

During the siege, he staggered the enemy's sword by a slight margin and used the shadow dash to guide the besiegers to hit other fools. Shadow, it should be better here.

The Arena of Fools has already been played once by Ren Amamiya. In addition, the game is different from [Theater], and many things arranged by the system in advance cannot be changed-even if the monster's AI uses artificial intelligence, but The mechanism of the game itself, such as the locations and batches of spawning monsters, is often remembered by Amamiya Ren.

Although there is no deliberate backboard, it is almost a backboard. The huge advantages brought by proficiency and information make this game hardly difficult for Umiya Ren.

Yugong Lian did not edit any custom sword skills, and the powerful and heavy power-slashing slash was not so much a cut, but a smashed carapace of the mythical beast at the end of the Fool's Trial.

As the winner of the Fool's Trial was determined, the huge and oppressive King of Fools got up from the throne in the distance, and he threw the halberd symbolizing the fourth trial towards the center of the arena.

The wordless king worm looked at the newly chosen champion of fools, Amamiya Ren held a bone nail and pointed at the ground obliquely, challenging the king worm.Then the bone nail drew a sharp trajectory in the air, and the iron chain binding the dominoes on the halberd was cut off in response.

The king worm who had been waiting for a long time jumped up, and his huge body fell heavily in front of him when he watched from a distance. He pulled out the halberd on the ground, and when he waved it, the wind and dust were blown up with great force, and the dominoes were waving The overwhelmed fragments scattered in all directions.King Chong put on a fighting posture, and the ancient warrior who believed in the abyss unabashedly released his fighting spirit.

The fourth trial with no rest time and no warning began immediately. The warlike king worm took advantage of its huge size and halberd to attack with a sweeping sweep.

The blade of the halberd slashed across the body of Umiya Ren, but only cut through a shadow. Umiya Ren, who was transformed from the black shadow in the air, easily crossed the range of the blade of the halberd, and charged straight Face the door.

Wang Chong held a long halberd in both hands, and he could not dodge the sweeping momentum. However, in addition to the hands holding the halberd, Wang Chong also had two shorter legs attached to his chest.Facing the fierce slash coming from the charge, using the hard and sharp carapace as a blade, he waved his attached feet to meet him.

Click!

The sharp bone nails split the carapace attached to the foot, cut through the flesh and blood protected by the carapace, but failed to penetrate deep into the bone.

This injury is naturally harmless to King Chong. After the blow, he still regained his posture, with the long halberd in front of him, and the metal handle in front vigorously pushed Ren Amameiya away, while he himself stepped back half a step, with the halberd in front of him. Ling Dong, who didn't match his body shape at all, turned around and slashed from bottom to top.

Yu Gonglian turned into a shadow without hesitation and dodged backwards. After re-condensing her figure, she hit the king worm with two shadow attacks, and then the recoil force made herself back a little bit, slashing in an elliptical arc on Yugong Lian's forehead. wiped before.

After the slash, he turned back with his strength, turned around and stabbed, but Yu Gonglian jumped to avoid it.Yu Gonglian, who was in the air, stepped on the handle of the halberd, and was thrown away by the king worm.

However, at the next moment, the lotus in the sky turned into a black meteor, and the violent abyss soul dived and hit the king worm, the soul magic dissipated, and the lotus in the sky fell right in front of the king worm.

At this time, the praying mantis claw of Yu Gonglian's left hand grabbed the shoulder armor of the king worm, stopped the momentum of the fall, and kicked on the body of the king worm in the form of grabbing the wall and running, and rolled behind the king worm in the blink of an eye.

The shoulder armor and carapace of the king worm are harder than other parts, but they cannot stop the sharpness of the pure bone nail, and the pure bone nail penetrates into the back of the neck, and Hou Yu Gonglian holds the handle of the bone nail with both hands, and tears Large pieces of flesh and blood.

"Ang——" the king worm let out a piercing cry of pain, let go of the halberd with one hand, and the insect's limbs, whose proportions were different from those of humans, easily reached behind its head, trying to catch Yu Gonglian.

But Yu Gonglian, who succeeded in one blow, had already turned into a shadow and retreated even with the bone nails.

The distance between the two sides widened again, Wang Chong was injured and did not dare to pursue immediately, and the two voices, one large and one small, each occupied one side of the field and began to confront each other.

The king worm raised the halberd to the upper part, and the three pairs of eyes hidden under the mask locked on the figure of Umiya Ren. Obviously, the next blow would be a heavy blow that Shadow Charge could not escape from.

Seeing this, Yu Gonglian grinned.

Stretching out his hand and quietly touching the bone nail blade, the white soul light glows.Put your posture in place, and your sword skills are ready to go.

cut!

Two sharp arcs of light interacted in the air, making a clear sound of gold and iron screaming, and the charged slash and the heavy smash faced each other, and the huge force made both Umiyaren and the king worm fall into a short-term rigidity.

When there was no time left, Yu Gonglian took the lead to regain control of her body, turned into a shadow and approached her, the bone nail in her hand slashed across the king worm's body with almost no hindrance, leaving a new scar in the air. The arc of the moon.

The king worm has already been injured, and this time he is powerless to resist the slash of the pure bone nail. The sharp blade cuts through the carapace and flesh, and cuts off the meridians and bones.

In a split second, a terrible gap opened in the abdomen of the king worm, blood splashed, and the huge figure fell down.

"Hoo... happy!" Yu Gonglian let out a long breath, put the bone nail back into her waist, and showed a happy smile on her face.

After the mechanism and ability of the King of Fools were perfected, it was the first time that Umiya Ren fought against him.

Generally speaking, Ren Amameiya is quite satisfied with her original boss.

As a game mechanism, the Arena of Fools, after a short period of silence, exploded with astonishing enthusiasm like a barrage in a live broadcast room.

"New king! New king! New king!"

The voices calling for the new king are endless.

"Well... In short, the original content is probably like this. I tried to reproduce the appearance of the Fool's Arena before the decline of Hallownest. The strong will be respected, and the victor will be king. While alive, fight him."

"The whole content of the game is probably like this at present. If I have any good ideas in the future, I will continue to update."

"Then today's live broadcast ends here..."

Originally, she was proficiently saying her farewell speech, but Amameiya Ren suddenly froze.

Amid the much-anticipated cheers of the Fool's Arena, the door to the arena opened again because the trial was over.

A small figure walked in silently.

And Yu Gonglian met the eyes.

PS · It's been a long time since I wrote the battle plot, it's a bit raw.

Chapter 190 The Trial of the Hollow Knight

Little knight? !

Yu Gonglian was very surprised at the moment.

I didn't make the content of the little knight!

Ren Amamiya's original content stopped at the King of Fools, and he was very sure that he did not make game content for little knights.

The reason is also very practical, there is no time.

It took Ren Amamiya a long time to design the fighting style and action design of the King of Fools.

After all, Ren Yugong herself is not in such a bold and heavy style.

Originally, Ren Amamiya hesitated whether to add air combat to the trial of the King of Fools. There are probably two specific ideas. One is that the King of Fools ignores stabbing the ground, but the player character forces air combat.

One is to expand the test site, and the two sides will fight together in the air.

As for adding mobs during the battle, I have never thought of this kind of thought.

The battle for the king does not allow others to intervene, so it fits the setting.

As for why the air combat content was not added at the end... because air combat is really too difficult.

Players need to give them time to grow.

At this moment, most people can't even fly normally!You let them fight an air battle with a difficult boss?

Although Hollow Knight's air combat is composed of a bunch of double jumps, air dashes, downward slashes, and wall climbing, it also has a considerable degree of adaptation requirements for staying in the air.

Closer to home, Ren Amamiya hasn't even continued to perfect the King of Fools, so naturally she won't have time to do the content of the little knight.

It's not that Amamiya Ren dislikes little knights, he himself has a considerable degree of enthusiasm for being a little knight as a boss, allowing all empty players to experience the pleasure of pvp with little knights.

But although the little knight is not original, he is much more difficult to make than the king of fools.

First of all, there is a question of style. If your little knight is going to be a boss, which style do you use?Swordsmanship and spells summon three legs, talismans are dismantled, and there are miscellaneous branch routines.

Then there is the problem of the mechanism extending from the genre. Of course, Ren Amamiya can set the little knight as Dante, with all the amulets on his body, and switch genres like switching styles.

But in that case, the difficulty of the game will exceed the standard. Players cannot freely switch amulets but bosses can. This is a serious inequality, and even if it is explained by a mechanism, it will have negative effects.And if we want to talk about the mechanism, should the little knight join the second stage of a Void God?

If the little knight becomes an enemy, the most difficult part lies in his mobility and small size. The maneuverability of being able to dodge the player's attack will unbalance the mentality of most players. On the one hand, the small size indirectly increases the dodge rate, on the other hand, it will It is to limit those skills that can deal multiple damages on large monsters.

In short, if the little knight is made into a BOSS, it is really difficult to design. He is very strong, but at the same time he is not suitable to be an enemy. Therefore, although Ren Amamiya intends to make a little knight, she finally gave up this idea.

Since Amamiya Ren didn't intend to make the little knight into a fan game in the end, then this...

The audience in the stands is still cheering, these NPCs are just atmosphere rendering tools, not even driven by AI, Ren Amamiya did not set the content after the trial of the King of Fools, before remaking the map before exiting the arena , they will keep cheering.

However, the noisy cheers could not affect the little knight in the slightest. He looked at Ren Amamiya seriously without words, and couldn't see what he was thinking in his empty eyes.

Just when Amamiya Ren couldn't understand the current situation, a little knight looking at Amamiya Ren made a move.

He pulled out his bone nail and pointed at the ground obliquely.

This action is the same as what Ren Umiya did to the King of Fools before.

Challenger's gift.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Yu Gonglian couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Ren Yugong stretched out her hand and shook it in the air, the cheers stopped abruptly, a ray of light swept across the entire arena of fools from the corner, the brand new and bloody proving ground became dilapidated in the light, and the cheering fools in the stands also All turned into corrupt, pleasure-seeking nobles of Hallownest.

The King of Fools who had fallen to the ground due to defeat returned to the seat next to him, with black blood flowing from his eyes, and he had long since died.What is different from the original is that there still seem to be deep-rooted scars left on his body from the battle with Ren Amamiya.

"You seem to have something to say to me." Yu Gonglian looked at the little knight and said.

The little knight couldn't speak, so Ren Amamiya didn't want to get a response.However, the little knight did not deny the statement made by Ren Yugong.

"It just so happens that I also have some ideas that I want to confirm." Umiya Ren continued as if talking to herself.

"The Hollow Knight is supposed to be a container without blood and tears, but the first Hollow Knight was flawed under the influence of the White King, and you should be the same under my influence."

Whether there are meta elements in Hollow Knight is a controversial topic.The source of this controversy is a passage on the inscription at the beginning of the game - "Higher creatures, these words are only for you."

Some people think that the [higher creatures] here refers to players.

Of course, after knowing the plot of the Hollow Knight, the [higher creatures] here are more likely to refer to the powerful existence outside Hallownest, such as the wind and thunder gods enshrined by the Godseeker.

Another argument is that the Hollow Knight is flawed because of the father-son relationship with the White King, but the little knight grew up by himself, and he should be a perfect container without blood and tears.However, under the control of the player, the little knight will perform very subjective acts of kindness such as saving people and sending flowers, which also proves that [higher creatures] refer to the player, and the player guides the little knight like a god, so the little knight will be with you. There are flaws like the predecessors.
