Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 635: The Sacred Tree Stage, Tolina and Millicent

Holy Tree Town is a small town built along the trunk of the holy tree. Man-made buildings are cleverly combined with intricate and thick branches to form the main body of the town.

People of those races that were excluded and discriminated against in the outside world lived "harmoniously" in this town. In addition to the mixed races, there were even mummies wandering around that had been corroded by scarlet corruption, but they would not attack their own people.

If we ignore the hostility of the local residents towards outsiders, just looking at this scene, there is indeed some shadow of the world of great harmony. However, after going to the Shadow Land, Li You knew that all this was probably a false prosperity built on the charm of Michaela, and the residents here were not persecuted people who only wanted to live in peace in a corner. That fierce nature has not been erased... Especially now that Michaela has left.

So when they discovered Li You and his group of outsiders, they all attacked without hesitation. Li You was not polite to them either. He quickly fought back and sent away all the hybrids and giant ants that rushed up, as well as the Miranda flowers and oracle messengers that were a little further away.

There was nothing valuable in Shengshu Town that was worth Li You's special trip. The ancient dragon rock forging stone that could be picked up in the game was also missing, so Li You advanced at a very fast speed and soon arrived at the bottom of Shengshu Town.

The Holy Tree Stage.

“…I’m too lazy to complain about this name.” Li You raised his sword and chopped down the stone-swinging magician from the Sea Mo classroom who was blocking in front of him, then stepped onto the Holy Tree stage with his companions.

"boom--!!"

As soon as he walked through the door, a magic light arrow exploded at his feet, but Li You remained motionless because he knew very well that it was not aimed at him.

At this moment, on the Holy Tree stage, a nimble and agile figure was fighting with a silver-armored knight on horseback.

The figure moved swiftly, swinging a strange curved sword in his hand like the wind, attacking continuously while avoiding the opponent's attacks. The silver-armored knight opposite her held a halberd, flashing with magical light between his swings, and many magical swords were floating beside him. He was actually a magic knight.

When Kara saw the silver-armored knight, her eyes lit up: "Could it be..."

"It's Loretta, the 'Sacred Tree Knight', the gatekeeper of Abrefil."

Before Li You could answer, a voice came from the side, and then in the empty corner, a petite figure with purple hair appeared out of nowhere and walked out.

Saint Torina.

Li You's mind moved, and the teardrop that had been quietly following behind rushed out and stepped forward to help. He looked at Tolina and said, "I thought you had already arrived at Abrefil."

Tolina shook her head slightly: "It wasn't that smooth..."

When the group returned from the Shadow Land, they not only brought Millicent back, but also Torina back to the border.

This is what Torina insisted on, saying that there is something else that must be done. After learning everything from her, Millicent also chose to face her mission, and the two planned to act together.

Huliye wanted to follow, but Tolina refused him this time. As for Ampah, he said that he would go to reorganize the remaining forces of the Blood King. Since Tolina didn't need to be protected, he also left with his subordinates.

After temporarily parting with Li You and the others, Tolina and Millicent set out on the journey towards the sacred tree.

Of course, this is not without risk. As the other half of Michaela, Tolina should have been a demigod, but just like Michaela herself was not good at fighting, Tolina was the same, not to mention that she had lost most of her power.

Fortunately, for Torina, the Holy Tree is also half her home. After Millicent reassembled all the broken memories, she also picked up the fighting skills that once belonged to that person. Even if her physical condition is not very good, some ordinary enemies still can't stop her.

So, the two of them headed north, with Torina showing the way and showing faces, while Millicent was responsible for solving those things that Torina couldn't handle, and the journey went smoothly. Previously in Yidian Town, they went directly through the sealed sacred tree.

However, when they arrived at the Holy Tree Stage, they encountered an enemy that all previous methods had failed to work for—the Holy Tree Knight Loretta.

This knight only recognized Michaela, and it was useless for Torina to use her face. Her fighting ability also made it difficult for Millicent to defeat her for a while, and they had been entangled for some time.

"Holy Tree Knight? Isn't she the royal guard of the Kalia royal family?" Kara asked in surprise.

She recognized Loretta because she had fought against Loretta's phantom at the royal moon-viewing spot in Kalia Castle, and it was there that she learned the magic of "Loretta's Longbow".

Torina calmly revealed the secret: "Loretta is actually a Platinum Son. She has been looking for a place for the Platinum Sons to settle down. At the end of a long battle journey, she became a knight of the Holy Tree."

Kara was stunned when she heard this, while Li You glanced at Tolina.

With the joining of a demigod, the truth about many border secrets can be easily revealed.

However, Li You was also clear about Loretta's identity. He was more concerned about another thing: "Even so, Loretta should not be unable to recognize you. Could it be that..."

Tolina nodded slightly: "Just as you thought."

Li You understood: "Then it's time for this thing to appear."

He turned his head and looked at the battlefield ahead. With the help of the imitation teardrops to restrain Loretta, Millicent immediately gained great autonomy. Seeing that "Li You" was tightly entangled with the opponent, she immediately gathered her energy and magic power, jumped up, and the scimitar in her hand was about to release a storm of air blades!
This classic opening move immediately triggered Li You's DNA. He knew that if Millicent continued with this move, Loretta would definitely be in trouble. So Li You quickly said, "Wait!"

Millicent was startled when she heard his voice from a distance, then she dispersed her condensed energy without thinking much and fell back to the ground.

Just at this moment, Loretta rode her warhorse and leaped back suddenly. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pulled. A magic bow took shape instantly, and four light arrows were placed on the bow, flashing with light!

Kara: "!"

Millicent: “!”

Li You, on the other hand, didn't hesitate at all and immediately caught up. Loretta let go, and four light arrows flew out, each with a different trajectory, all heading towards Millicent!

The magic power of "Li You" exploded instantly, and his body turned into a flash of golden lightning, blocking Millicent. Flames ignited on the long-handled sword in his hand, and he swung out two intersecting sword lights in the manner of the Undead Slash!
"boom--"

The sword light collided with Loretta's four light arrows, causing a violent explosion. For a moment, everyone's eyes were full of flashes and magic power was surging. Those with weaker strength could not see anything clearly.

Even Loretta's eyes blurred, and then when she looked again, she saw that Li You had come to her without her knowing when.

Loretta: “!?”

She subconsciously wanted to raise her halberd to fight back, but Li You did not hesitate. He swung the spiral sword down in an instant, and a gravity wave lifted up a large piece of rubble and rushed towards Loretta!

"boom--!!"

Although Loretta had raised her shield to block the impact, she still couldn't withstand the impact and was forced to retreat to the edge of the stage with her horse. She tried to dodge, but another gravity field came down and pressed her to the ground, making her almost unable to move.

Only then did the magic fluctuations just subside. Millicent looked at the "Li You" who was repairing his injuries, and then looked at the person in front of her, with surprise in her eyes: "It's so easy to subdue her... How strong are you?"

Li You turned around and smiled at her: "As for what I plan to do, if I don't have this kind of strength, it's just a dream."

Millicent thought about it and thought it made sense, so she put away her knife and came to his side. Her companions also surrounded him along with Torina.

Li You then took out a broken halo from his backpack. There was a faint light flashing on it. It was exactly the fragment of Michaela's Great Rune.

Then, just like he did to Kara, Li You injected magic power into the Great Rune, stimulated its power, and then transferred this power to Loretta.

A familiar golden mark also appeared on Loretta's head, and then cracks appeared on it, and then it shattered and disappeared. She groaned and fainted.

"Done, that's what happened." Li You put away the Great Rune fragment and turned to look at Kara. Kara immediately understood and began to search through Loretta's body, and soon took out a magic scroll.

"Found it! 'Loretta's secret weapon' is the magic she performed just now!" Kara was overjoyed, and Li You also nodded with a smile.

Others: “…”

Millicent and Torina felt that they were not that familiar with Li You, so they did not speak. V on the side could not help but said: "No, why are you and your apprentice so skilled? Is this what you learned?"

Li You did not answer, Kara said confidently: "Since we are the victors, isn't it natural for us to collect the spoils? You came here with Master, so you don't lack for supplies. I had to do this in order to survive on this land."

After hearing this, V paused for a moment before saying, "...You're right, I had a preconceived notion."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Li You interrupted at this time, "Abrefield City is just ahead, Millicent, Tolina, are you ready?"

"After all, the people you are about to meet will have special meanings to you."

When the two heard his question, they looked at each other first, and then Millicent nodded solemnly: "I'm ready. No matter what, I will face her, and... my sisters."

Torina also said: "These are all mistakes left by Michaela... Since I didn't meet the end with him, it is my responsibility to correct them."

Li You then said, "Okay! Let's go!"

It's no wonder he's so serious. After all, the person the group is going to face next is undoubtedly the strongest boss in the Ring of Magic. Even in terms of background setting, she is a Valkyrie who is on par with the powerful Ratan.

"Michaela's Blade", Marlenya!
