Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 642: Dark Abandonment, Esti
In front of the Eternal City of Noxstella, above the scarlet Lake of Corruption, a dark meteor flew past, and the air current that broke through the air drew a surging wave on the lake surface below.

In the Corrupt Lake, there are a few biological activities that have adapted to this place, such as the cursed frog that can live anywhere, the dragon soldiers sleeping in the center of the lake, and even the mushroom people who believe in scarlet corruption and an ordinary ancestral spirit passing by.

But even they could only watch in amazement as the meteor streaked through the sky and headed towards the waterfall at the other end of the Corruption Lake.

The real body of the meteor was naturally Li You, along with Lani and Millicent. The two of them hung on his arms respectively, each using magic power to protect themselves, and passed through the Corruption Lake with little time and effort.

Holding Lani on the left and Millicent on the right, this was something Li You had never thought of doing in the game. However, he was just using them as a means of transportation, so he didn't feel anything special.

At the end of the Corruption Lake, down along the waterfall, is a large corridor where many corrupt followers wander around, and more are worshiping something in the temple at the end of the corridor.

There is actually a corrupt tree spirit hidden here, but Li You has no shortage of golden seeds now, so he has no intention of looking for it.

The corrupt followers below discovered Li You and his two companions and immediately warned each other. However, Li You had already vibrated his illusory dragon wings and flew past in an instant. The corrupt followers were blown by the wind pressure and had difficulty reacting. When they raised their heads again, the target had already disappeared.

Li You of course ignored the idea of ​​going down in the magic sarcophagus and led the two of them down along the waterfall at the end of the corridor, and finally came to a space like an underground cave.

Although it was the bottom of the Corruption Falls, there were few signs of corruption here, and the walls of the cave were shining with an indigo glow. Directly in front of the three people was a conspicuous fog gate.

"This thing is rare." Li You took a look. In the real world, this kind of fog gate is actually a miniature barrier extended by some powerful existence, and many bosses don't have the habit of releasing this thing.

"It's right in front of us, the last gatekeeper of the two fingers." Lani said, "This guy is not comparable to the previous Disaster Shadow."

"Don't worry, I know." Li You drew out the Spiral Sword and the Undead Slash, and the two weapons combined to form a long-handled sword. He held the sword in his hand and then stretched out his left hand: "Come on... uh, Xiaolei?"

Li You: Sorry, I haven’t thought of a name yet.

However, the replicant teardrop was naturally able to sense his intentions. It was originally attached to his left arm and now began to absorb his magic power, thereby quickly taking shape.

Almost in the blink of an eye, another "Li You" who was exactly the same as the original had taken shape, and all of Li You's magic power was sucked away by it without a drop left.

Lani's expression changed. She took a look at "Li You" and immediately realized, "So it's a Simulated Teardrop... How could you cultivate it to this level? How much materials did you consume?"

Li You was gulping down the gourd potion. Although it had been strengthened to the limit by the golden seeds and the Holy Grail dew drops, Li You still used it more as an elemental ash bottle, and the healing effect was not used at all.

As a magic potion, the gourd's effect is somewhat weaker. At least half of it must be drunk to replenish Li You's magic power - this is of course also because his total amount of magic power is a bit exaggerated.

At the same time, Millicent closed her eyes, and the magic power in her body began to flow rapidly. Then a set of battle robes, as well as golden arm and leg armor, appeared on her body, as well as the iconic winged helmet and prosthetic knife.

Regardless of her personality, Millicent can only exert her full combat power in this posture. However, there is also a risk, that is, she will be eroded by corruption.

When Lani saw this, she couldn't help but look sideways and instinctively became alert. As a former rival, she was very afraid of Marlenya's fighting ability.

The twins Michaela and Malenia are both gods, but Malenia had long given up on becoming a god herself and chose to fully support her brother Michaela, willing to become his sharp edge.

As for Lani, she also has capable brothers. Lakkad aside, Latan is known as the strongest.

But the problem is that the relationship between the La family brothers and sisters is not very good. Latan sealed the stars, which directly led to the fate of Lani being no longer in motion, not to mention that he had a "promise" with Michaela.

The two strongest demigods (one of them is his own brother) are both rivals, and this rival seems to have a good relationship with the original "prince". Li Youxin said that if he were Lani, he would probably feel numb about losing.

Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Lani wanted to overturn the table.

While Lani was on guard, she suddenly noticed Li You's strange look and couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li You had completely absorbed the potion and replenished his magic power. He immediately picked up the knife and said, "It's okay, let's go."

Passing through the fog gate, there is a vast space in front of us. It was originally part of the underground world, but looking around, it seems as if we are under the boundless starry sky. Except for the ground with shallow water under our feet, we can hardly see the boundaries in other directions.

And under the cover of the nebula in front, a huge strange creature was lying there.

Its overall appearance is somewhat like a dragonfly, with a slender body, two pairs of translucent membrane wings, and three pairs of limbs, one large and two small. Its head is the shape of a giant skull, but on the left and right sides of its mouth, it has black jaws that are very similar to those of the Fallen Star Beast. There is a hole in the forehead of its skull, and a blue-black eyeball is moving slightly inside it.

Its tail is extremely long and slender, with spikes at the end. The entire tail is covered with shiny spheres, making it look like a miniature planet.

This strange-looking creature is called "Dark Abandoned Child" Esti. As for its origin...

"The malicious meteor that destroyed the Eternal City in the past and took away the sky of the Knox people is a symbol of the wrath of the Supreme Will." Li You looked at the alien creature and his eyes moved slightly.

Esti also discovered him at this time, and immediately shot a beam of purple magic power from the single eye on her head, pointing directly at Li You!
"What a pity! I've seen stronger moves like this one!" Li You swung his sword, and the blade filled with magical power directly tore apart the purple beam of light!
The beam sniper attack was ineffective. In the distance, Esti made a strange sound and moved her six legs, rushing towards Li You.

At this moment, the replica teardrop and Millicent also followed in, and Lani followed. They were all ready for battle, but Li You was not in a hurry to take action. He reached into the system backpack and took out a strangely shaped staff that looked like entangled fingers.

He raised his staff, pointed it at Esti, injected magic power into it, and the illusory microcosm at the front of the staff began to emit light!

Esti, who was originally rushing towards this side, was startled and stopped abruptly. The single eye on her head moved and looked at Li You.

Lani and Millicent also looked at him, or at the staff in his hand. Lani's eyes flashed with a strange look: "Is this... the staff made from the tail finger of the Mother of Finger?"

"That's right." Li You admitted directly, "This tail finger is the antenna of the Mother of Fingers... It is used to receive signals. As I said before, although it can no longer communicate with the Supreme Will, it still maintains contact with the two fingers."

"So, maybe it will be useful for Esti, the meteor thrown down by the Supreme Will?"

"It's indeed possible, but maybe you're still too optimistic." Lani looked ahead, "That guy is coming."

Li You turned his head and saw that after Esti carefully sensed it, her face changed immediately and she swung her long tail towards him!

"Is it useless?!" Li You dodged Esti's tail strike with a flash, and the subsequent attack also missed. Lani pulled back to distance herself, while the replica teardrop and Millicent rushed forward!

"Shh-"

The Fake Teardrop and Millicent each swung their swords, scratching Esti's arms on the left and right. Li You himself rushed straight into the air, looking at the long tail swinging in the air, he simply rushed forward, swinging the sword in his hand in an interlaced slashing trajectory!
Immortal Slash!
The moves were basically the same, but the power was no longer comparable. The interlaced knife marks tore the light ball on Esti's tail, almost cutting off the end of its tail.

Esti was suddenly injured and also very angry. She propped up her body and waved her arms vigorously. Purple gravity light lit up in her palms, leaving nebula-like traces wherever she waved.

Then, those traces exploded!
However, Li You and the other two would not be able to fall for this move, so they dodged and then surrounded them again. The three of them had extremely flexible fighting styles, and whether Esti bit with her jaws, swung her claws, or whipped the ground with her tail, it was difficult to hit them. Instead, she was cut by a lot of wounds on her body. Although not fatal, they could not be healed, and a little bit of wounds would make a big difference.

Esti also realized that something was wrong, and immediately raised half of her body. Purple light flashed in her three hands, and then she pressed them to the ground. Then, three gravity rings spread out from the inside to the outside, and the fluctuating magic power washed over everything inside!
Li You immediately recognized this move as one of Esti's signature moves, Dark Wave. Esti is a meteor that symbolizes destruction, and its power is equivalent to an upgraded version of gravity magic.

"This is perfect for our team." Although Li You didn't say it out loud, he had already taken a fancy to Esti's strength.

The range of the dark wave is quite large, but Esti has the same problem as the Mother of Finger, neither of them is very good at fighting. The Dark Abandoned is stronger than the Mother of Finger, but it is also limited. Its charging action is too obvious. Even if Li You does not speak up to remind her, Millicent will not be hit. The dark wave fluctuates in vain.

On the contrary, this move has no anti-air capability. Li You and the replica teardrop both chose to swing their swords from top to bottom and cut at Esti's thin wings!

"Shhh-"

The knife flashed on the left and right, and Esti's two pairs of thin wings were cut in half!
This made its body tremble again and it was extremely angry. Suddenly, a ball of purple light appeared around it, enveloping it, and then disappeared altogether.

"Run away?" Millicent looked on with a knife in hand, but Li You turned his head to the distance and said, "No...over there!"

At the other end of the field, the same purple ball of light appeared, and Esti reappeared. It first relied on the distance advantage and fired another long-range beam towards Millicent, and then teleported away again, leaving Li You, who was flying quickly, empty-handed.

Millicent also imitated Li You and swung her sword to cut it down, but she didn't slash it once, but slashed it more than ten times in an instant, completely destroying the power of the light beam, and then looked around vigilantly: "I can't detect its breath at all..."

Li You was also unable to notice it, and could only open his senses as much as possible so that he could detect it at any time.

But at this moment, the voice of Lani, who had retreated behind everyone at the beginning of the battle, suddenly rang out: "It's among you! Hide quickly!"

Li You and Millicent were both shocked, and then they saw Esti actually appear between the three of them in an instant, with her largest hands supporting the ground, and then suddenly raised up!
A violent gravity fluctuation instantly erupted over a huge range, and large and small pieces of gravel were blown away at the same time, carrying with them Li You and the other two who were unable to dodge!
"Well……!!"

Li You, Millicent and the replica teardrop all tried hard to adjust their postures and control their bodies, but Esti's gravity magic hit them at the same time, making the three people's attempts unsuccessful for a while, and they were swept up into the air.

Then, Esti pressed her arm downwards again, and everything lifted up by the gravity fluctuations was instantly pressed down!
But at this moment, Li You and the replica teardrop simultaneously burst out with exaggerated magic power!

Li You seized the opportunity and transformed into a dragon man together with the replica teardrop. The magic frenzy at that moment immediately shook Esti's gravity field.

Millicent immediately took advantage of this to break free from her restraints and rushed forward, her prosthetic knife flashing a dazzling light!

Li You and the replica teardrop were not polite either, swooping down one after another, this time their target was Esti's head!
"boom--!!"

From an ecological perspective, Esti seems to be closer to a parasite. The Falling Star Beast is in its infancy, the Hanging Worms seen in the Eternal City are in their growth stage, and Esti is now a mature organism. They grow with the help of the bodies of other organisms, and their main body should be the eyeball in the head, so Li You aimed and shot directly.

Esti was hit and even her skull was shattered, but she reacted quickly and teleported away again, reappearing at the other end of the venue.

This time, it did not release any more beams of light. Instead, it raised its head, and magic power surged, spreading a large purple cloud in the air!
A miniature black hole emerged from the purple nebula, and then huge meteorites slowly extended from it!

Lani, who was hiding somewhere, was shocked: "Stop it! This is the power that can destroy the Eternal City!"

Needless to say, Li You knew and understood that the scale and power of Esti's meteorite would definitely be more exaggerated than those in the game. Even he didn't want to really witness this power.

It happened that at this moment, he and the replica teardrop were both in the form of dragon-men, so they both flapped their dragon wings and fully activated the power of space!

Li You and the replica teardrop crossed the space at the same time and flashed in front of Esti. The replica teardrop stabbed Esti's eyes directly, and Esti was unable to resist while casting the spell!

Esti's body trembled violently, and the teardrop of her body only stabbed the knife deeper and deeper, and a large amount of magic power began to float out of the wound like mist.

Li You was flying in the air, holding up his sword, and the fire field was fully deployed!

"Nine-headed Dragon Formation, come out!"

Eight fire dragons roared out in an instant and, following Li You's instructions, pounced on the summoned meteorites.

Fortunately, Esti had just started releasing meteorites, and very few of them had formed at the moment. The fire dragons quickly shattered them into pieces by biting and burning them.

The imitation teardrop activated its magic power and pressed Esti to the ground, while Li You flew out with a knife and rushed forward!

Looking at Esti who was overwhelmed by the teardrops of the replica body, Li You held the long handle with both hands, raised the knife, and then swung it down with all his strength! With a "bang", Esti's huge head was chopped off by him!

"Boom-"

The head smashed to the ground. In the broken skull, the eyeball was still trying to twist, but the knife that resembled a teardrop made it impossible for it to do so.

Li You fell from the air and looked at the eyeball. Without any hesitation, he separated the Immortal Slash and the Spiral Sword and stabbed the Spiral Sword into it fiercely!
Flames suddenly rose from the spiral sword, and although Esti did not make a sound, everyone present seemed to hear a scream in their consciousness.

But there was nothing more to it. The flames quickly devoured Esti's eyeball, completely erasing any trace of its existence, leaving only a dark purple irregular gem that seemed to contain a nebula.

Li You put away the gem without hesitation, nodded to Millicent who came to his side, and then looked at Lani who had just appeared: "It's all done... Let's go and meet your two fingers."

Lani nodded: "Indeed, it's time."
