Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 758 VS Balder

In the forest, the vibrations of battle were endless and the aftermath of the impact echoed everywhere.

Kratos, Balder, and Li You who suddenly appeared, fought in a group.

Although the lower limit of power in this world is high, resulting in an extremely tough infrastructure in the space, the ground here still wailed and cracked under the impact of the battle between the three people, and hideous cracks ran through the forest path and spread into the distance.

Even so, the sound of collision in the forest did not stop.

"Drink!!"

A roar resounded through the wild forest, followed by a dull echo, and a figure almost rose from the ground and flew suddenly into the air!
That was Balder. Although he rushed into the air at high speed, if you looked closely, it was obvious that he was knocked away by an external force. At this moment, below him, a battle axe wrapped in frost was chasing him!

"what!"

Although Balder was flying in mid-air, he still reacted in time and threw a punch at the axe blade. The magical light wrapped around his arm shattered the ice on it, knocking it down powerlessly.

But at the same time, behind and above him, another shadow had fallen on him.

Balder turned his head and looked up, only to see a pair of half-real and half-virtual dragon wings spread out behind Li You, and he suddenly attacked with a spiral gun in his hand, and shot through his chest!

"puff--!!"

Although he could not feel the pain and would not die from the injury, Balder still instinctively spat out a large mouthful of blood. In this position, it was difficult for him to fight back or get rid of Li You, and he was carried by Li You and fell rapidly!
And below, Kratos was ready.

He raised his sturdy left arm, and the metal blades on the outside of his forearm unfolded like an umbrella, forming a golden round shield. Kratos concentrated his strength on it, ready to meet the collision.

The next moment, Li You and Balder turned into meteors and fell down!

"Boom-!!"

Li You pressed down Balder and crashed directly into Kratos' shield. With a loud bang, the power of the two collided, clashed, and exploded between the gun and shield, as well as Balder's flesh and blood, tearing his immortal body into pieces.

[Main Mission 1-1: Defeat the Stranger (in progress).]

[Main Mission 1-2: Provoke a battle with Kratos without harming the lives of both parties (in progress).]

Li You took the time to glance at the system interface, and then he calmed down - this really worked.

This is how it should be. After all, he and Kratos are indeed fighting with a gun and a shield, except that there is a flesh-made Balder in between.

Kratos and Li You looked at each other for a moment, and then increased their strength again. Kratos smashed the back of his shield hard, causing a concussive impact, while Li You gripped the spiral gun tightly, and flames rose from the gun!
"Boom boom boom——!!"

"Ugh...!" Even though Balder had an immortal body and didn't feel any pain, with his personality, he naturally couldn't bear being sandwiched and beaten by two people.

So, he endured the burning flames and the shaking of the shield, roared, and then, regardless of his own broken body, he raised his fists and attacked Kratos in front of him frantically!

"Boom boom boom——"

The dull thuds of fists hitting the shield continued. Although Balder was not very strong, he was far inferior to Kratos, who was two meters tall and had arms as thick as ordinary people's thighs, but his strength was real. At this time, he did not hide his strength. The continuous heavy blows made Kratos feel a little numb in his arm holding the shield.

And there is no doubt that during the battle, he also sensed the real divine power in Balder's body, and he couldn't help but frown.

"…Who is he? A god, why does he know me? What does he want to do?"

"And that other person..."

Mr. Kratos subconsciously glanced at Li You again.

Li You's half-dragon state also requires the use of the power of the Sakura Dragon. Although that power is different from the divine power of this world, the essence is basically the same, and Kratos also vaguely sensed it.

So even though he and Li You were barely cooperating with each other at this time, Kratos still remained a little vigilant.

Of course, although he was vigilant, the battle-hardened Kratos could naturally clearly distinguish that all of Li You's attacks were focused on Balder. Although he did not hold back when pointing his attacks at him, he did not show any murderous intent or hostility.

Under such circumstances, Kratos naturally had no intention of fighting with Li You, and also put his focus on Balder.

For him now, the first priority is to eliminate the threat to himself and his son.

Facing Balder's crazy punches, Kratos also roared, raised his shield, lifted him up directly, and smashed him heavily to the ground! Li You pulled out his gun and stepped back at the same time, leaving space for Kratos to perform.

With a loud bang, the ground cracked, and Kratos pressed Balder directly to the ground, and then his heavy punches fell continuously!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The speed and power of Kratos' attack was so strong that even Li You felt a little annoyed. However, even though Balder was beaten to pieces, he did not scream or cry. Instead, he laughed loudly: "Not enough, not enough!"

Kratos looked sideways, but his hands didn't stop moving. But then, Balder, who seemed to be dying from the beating, raised his hand to block Kratos' fist, and then looked at Kratos with surprise in his eyes, and smiled crazily: "...It's my turn."

"Boom-!!"

After the sound, Kratos was hit hard in the abdomen and subconsciously bent over. Balder then hit him with another heavy punch from bottom to top, which actually knocked Kratos's burly body flying backwards!
Kratos' body fell weakly into the forest beside him, and there was no movement for a while. Balder jumped up instantly, but did not chase Kratos, but turned to look at Li You beside him.

"You...are really courageous!"

Li You frowned slightly.

Just now when Kratos was beating up Balder, he did not step forward to join in the beating of Balder because he knew very well that he and Kratos had absolutely no trust in each other. Besides, he also knew that no matter how he attacked, it would be ineffective against Balder.

To put it bluntly, Balder has a health lock, is immortal, and cannot feel anything, which means there is no point in torturing him.

Unless he breaks the spell his mother cast on him, any fight will be in vain.

Even if you want to stop him temporarily, you have to use methods such as bone setting.

So Li You originally wanted to tell Kratos how to deal with this guy.

At this moment, it seems that although finding Kratos is Balder's main job, he seems to have a higher hatred for Li You, who insisted on intervening in the battle and playing mixed doubles with Kratos against him.

"You want to fight me? Then... come on!"

Balder laughed crazily, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards Li You!

He still used the same moves, one set of boxing to deal with all attacks, but the power was greater, and this time magical frost condensed on his fists.

Balder in the game can use the power of ice and fire, but he didn't use it in the original battle in the prologue. But this time, it's clear that he has decided to use it for real.

Li You responded by swinging his spiral gun, but was beaten back repeatedly. Balder's speed also increased significantly, and even the half-dragon Li You felt that he could not keep up.

"That's it? That's it!?" Balder laughed loudly while punching, "You really disappoint me!"

Li You was unmoved, but he also realized that it was difficult to resist Balder's attack with a gun, so in the next moment, he retreated slightly, not using the spiral gun, but opening the glass umbrella in his left hand to block Balder's fist.

"clang--!!"

With a crisp sound, Li You's left arm was numbed by the shock. He could hardly feel his forearm for a moment, and his whole body was knocked back a long distance.

But this is exactly what he wanted. When Li You put away the glass umbrella, the umbrella got stuck. It seems that although the ninja tools with the addition of the source glass will not be damaged, the structure of the wristband itself cannot withstand Balder's power.

Fortunately, the glass umbrella was able to be put away smoothly after a slight pause. Li You then grabbed the handle of the spiral gun with both hands, split it left and right, and turned it into a pair of swords. He held the two swords tightly, one forward and one backward, and looked at Balder.

"There are so many tricks, but unfortunately... they are useless!"

Balder immediately rushed forward, but this time Li You also changed his fighting style. He turned his feet while holding two swords. Facing Balder's attacks, he always dodged when he was close to his limit, and then counterattacked.

This fighting style is a tactic Li You often uses when he is in a disadvantageous position.

Balder was not able to adapt to Li You's change of style immediately. After a series of exchanges, Li You's double swords had already left several scars of varying depths on his arms and torso, and he was unable to touch Li You at all.

"You're just a bunch of idiots! How pathetic!"

Balder was also a little annoyed. While cursing, the wounds on his body were healing rapidly. He screamed: "You can't hurt me at all!"

"I know." Li You's breath was not disordered at all, "But I don't need it."

“Uooaaaaaa——!!!”

As if in response to Li You's words, a roar like that of a giant god was heard in the forest nearby. Kratos, who had just been knocked into the forest, rushed out with big strides, his arms and even his body wrapped in a layer of flowing flames!

The wrath of Sparta!
One of Kratos' signature skills is to transform his extreme anger into power, which is also his symbol.

From the entwined flames, what Li You saw was a divine power that was so powerful that it was terrifying!

Kratos strode out and rushed straight towards Balder!

"boom!"

Without any unnecessary words or movements, Kratos punched Balder directly in the face, knocking him flying and smashing him onto a huge rock on the mountain behind him.

Kratos pounced forward immediately, his fists burning with divine flames falling down continuously, beating Balder so hard that he had almost no power to fight back.

"He is immortal!" Li You shouted at this time, "You can't kill him, but break his neck. This can stop him temporarily!"

There was no doubt that Kratos heard what he said, but whether he didn't trust him or wanted to try if his fists could really not kill the little guy in front of him, Kratos didn't stop and kept punching down, until Balder's head was embedded into the stone wall behind him, and then the entire boulder was shattered and was about to fall down with a roar.

Kratos seized this opportunity, picked up Balder, held him above his head, and then threw him out with force, using his body to break the last base supporting the boulder!
"Boom--!!"

With a loud shattering sound, the entire boulder collapsed and Balder was buried underneath it.

Although it also caused mountains to collapse and the ground to crack, the subsequent impact caused this time was much smaller than in the game where Kratos was suspected of breaking the mountain-stabilizing rock and causing the ground to collapse.

Looking at the quiet battlefield, Kui Ye exhaled heavily, ending Sparta's wrath. He then looked at Li You: "You..."

"——Are you not going to fight anymore?"

Before Kratos could finish his words and Li You had no time to warn again, Balder's voice was heard again from under the boulder.

Then, the ground shook, and a huge force tore apart the collapsed boulders. Balder rushed out of it, wrapped in flames, and punched Kratos again!
"Boom!!"

Fortunately, perhaps because of Li You's previous reminder, Kratos was somewhat cautious. He raised his hands to block Balder's sudden attack. The two of them connected their fists and arms and began to wrestle. Cracks began to spread under their feet.

"I originally wanted to say that if you tell me what I want to know, I will not torture you... but now!" Balder laughed wildly, "I will break your hands and feet, so that you can no longer move, and then ask me what I want to know!"

"You are quite confident!" Of course, these words were not said by Kratos, but by Li You who was standing next to him.

When he saw the two men starting to wrestle, he quickly approached them, combined his two swords into one, and transformed them into the original spiral sword. He then transformed them into the posture of a fire-transmitting greatsword, and then stabbed the sword into Balder's back!
"What can you do if you do this? You can't hurt anyone at all...huh!?"

Balder was also startled as he spoke, because his body began to show strange symptoms.

He still felt no pain, and the wound did not cause him any harm, but the great sword that Li You had stabbed into his body was actually suppressing and even absorbing the power of fire that was wrapped around him at the moment!

“What… are you doing!?”

Although Balder could sense that the sword was only trying to suppress and absorb his magical flames and had not actually succeeded in devouring them, the flow of his power was indeed affected, and the flames on his body became dim and even extinguished.

What kind of power is that that can suppress his magic flame?
Li You naturally would not answer his question, but just stimulated his Sakura Dragon power and stabbed the Fire Sword deeper into his body.

At this time, Balder was distracted and naturally could not withstand Kratos' power anymore. Kratos simply exerted force with both hands and broke Balder's arms!
"Click."

"Ugh...you guys!"

Li You turned the sword in his hand and cooperated with Kratos to suppress Balder to his knees.

This time, Kratos seemed to have decided to believe Li You's words. He let go of Balder's broken hands, held Balder's head with both hands, and then with a "click", he twisted his neck!

Although Balder was immortal, he temporarily lost the ability to control his body and fell down limply.

Kratos looked at him, and after careful feeling, he indeed realized that the vigorous vitality in his body had not diminished at all, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"A god..."

Li You, who was standing aside, holding a spiral sword, was actually thinking about whether he could chop off Balder's head and see what would happen if he tried it.

But think about it, as long as Balder's mother is not stupid, then this kind of limb amputation is definitely within the scope of protection, and it is estimated that it is impossible to do it.

So he looked at Kratos again: "This guy might..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Kratos had grabbed one of Balder's legs and lifted up his limp body. Then he exhaled and let out a low roar, "Huh", swung Balder up, and threw him far out of the forest!

Li You: 6.

As expected of Kratos, he has ideas and actions, and there is no need for me to say more.

After throwing Balder away, Kratos glanced at Li You without saying much. He raised his hand, and the battle axe that had fallen somewhere in the previous battle flew back to his hand.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Then, Mr. Kui asked Li You.

Li You glanced at the system panel and saw that both main quests had already been marked as [Completed], so he shook his head as a matter of course: "I have no intention of fighting with you."

"...Okay." Mr. Kratos said succinctly, "Keep your distance from me, and there will be no need for conflict between you and me."

As he said this, he hung the battle axe back on his back and turned to leave. Although his steps were still steady, Li You could see a hint of anxiety in them.

This is not surprising. In the previous battle, Balder had said everything he needed to say, and Kratos had also realized the fact that he was "coming for him", so he was naturally anxious to go back to find his son.

Li You looked at his departing back. He naturally wanted to follow him, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that his current trust in Kratos was obviously not enough.

Considering the new tasks of the system, he still did not keep up, but chose another direction to leave.
