Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 767: Meeting Balder Again

There were countless potholes on the thick and solid ice layer, and some of the ice was directly evaporated after being swept by the radiation beam, leaving only the ground as if a piece had been cut off by a sharp blade.

When the dazzling light faded away, Manny and Modi's figures reappeared in the center of the meteorite fall and radiation burst.

Modi fell down again, his body only twitching from time to time, while Manny supported his body with the greatsword, half-knelt on the ground, and gasped heavily.

Both of them were covered in wounds, but they were also protected by electric shields.

They managed to withstand the previous wave of attacks.

The magic used by the Simulated Teardrop was all learned by Li You from the scrolls given by the system. The characteristic of this type of magic is that before reaching the upper limit, its power can be continuously increased with the magic power injected by Li You.

The two bursts just now were completely infused with the magic power of the teardrops. With the blessing of the two staffs, the power of these two bursts of magic was almost the same as that of the original. Coupled with the increase in the title of God Slayer, Manny and Modi were severely injured in one fell swoop.

And because it had consumed all its magic power, the replicant teardrop could no longer maintain its form after being released. It flew back to Li You carrying the Supreme Distant Staff and merged with him again.

The Simulated Teardrop is a special companion. Its existence is different from other companions and it is not subject to most system restrictions.

For example, now that companion functions are limited, the Simulated Teardrop does not need to return after being summoned, and does not occupy the companion slot.

At this time, the teardrop returned and merged into one with Li You. Li You put the Supreme Faraway Staff back into the system backpack and threw away the empty bottle of secret blessing - which was used to replenish the magic power consumed by summoning the replica teardrop.

Li You looked at Manny and Modi, and the electric current on their bodies dissipated again.

After the shield was activated repeatedly, Li You realized that the power came from a divine power different from the two of them, which must be a gift from Thor.

But this time, even the divine shield left by Thor had exhausted its power and finally disappeared completely.

"Daddy can't protect you now." Li You looked at the two of them and raised his sword. "Do you still want to come, or do you want to run back to daddy and cry?"

"...You." Manny wanted to get up, but then he coughed up blood and almost fell down - when the meteorite fell just now, he suffered more attacks and was no longer able to fight.

Modi, however, suddenly shuddered, reached out and grabbed his hammer, spear and shield, slowly stood up, and then...

“Haaaaaaa——!!”

To Li You's surprise, Modi, who was relatively timid and afraid of the weak, suddenly rushed up with a roar and hit him with a hammer!
"clang!!"

With a crisp sound, Li You swung the Fire Sword and easily blocked his hammer spear. He turned his feet and passed by him. The sword fell and flames spewed out, tearing off his protective divine power first.

Modi raised his shield to block the invasion of flames, but was also knocked back several steps by Li You's sword, and more blood oozed from the lacerations on his body.

To be fair, Manny and Modi are Thor's sons after all. If they are in full condition, Li You will not be able to get any good out of these two people. His physical strength is obviously not as good as that of the brothers.

Li You has to rely on the fire field and half-dragon transformation to be on par with Modi, the weaker of the two brothers, but there is still a gap between him and Manny.

However, at this time, the two brothers' divine power had been greatly consumed and they were seriously injured. Even the protective power given by Thor had been exhausted, and the power they could exert was no longer as strong as before.

The power of these gods is all based on their own divine power, which has both advantages and disadvantages. When their divine power is full, they can almost destroy the world, but when their divine power is insufficient, their combat effectiveness will be significantly reduced.

Just like this time.

"clang--!!"

There was another loud bang, and Li You swung his sword again, deflecting Modi's hammer and spear, and punched his shield, forcing him back again.

But Li You was also a little surprised. Why did Modi suddenly become so brave? Even his elder brother had fallen down and he was also seriously injured, but why did he still come up alone to fight him?

Modi, however, did not retreat a single step, but continued to roar and swing his hammer, looking as if he was determined to fight to the death.

Li Youdu just fought back and did not pursue, because he was still thinking about how to deal with these two guys.

He couldn't use the Undying Slash now, so he couldn't kill the brothers. Although the spiral sword was injected with Jörmungandr's Et snake venom, it was still a question whether the venom could really kill these gods.

It was because of this consideration that Li You did not use his trump card abilities such as dragon transformation, and even the replica teardrops were only a flash.

Considering the character of that old silver coin Odin, it is best not to reveal this information to him.

Of course, the consumption of the divine power of dragonization is also a reason why it is extremely difficult for him to support it now. This trick can basically only be used at critical moments. It is not necessary to deal with this pair of idiots for the time being.

“Come on, come on!!”

However, Modi, seeing that Li You seemed unwilling to fight, became a little anxious. He hit the shield with his hammer and spear, roaring and challenging Li You to a fight.

"Don't you dare to do it, you coward!"

Li You raised his eyebrows, and was sure that this guy must be planning something, as if he wanted to delay him.

"Could it be that……"

He immediately thought of a possibility, and realized that he could not delay any longer, so he stepped forward and chopped down Mody's hammer and shield with a heavy blow, which deflected the hammer and shield and hit him heavily on the shoulder!
"Pfft-"

Blood splattered, and Modi trembled all over, and even the hammer and spear in his hands fell to the ground with no strength.

Obviously, he did not expect that Li You still maintained this level of explosive power.

"You in the end..."

Li You didn't say much to him. He drew out the Fire Sword and stabbed it with his backhand!
The sword went straight through Modi's body, with the tip of the sword sticking out from behind. The burning flames evaporated his blood before it could even be spilled.

Modi's whole body trembled and blood spurted out of his mouth, but he ignored the burning flames and grabbed the blade of the Fire Sword!
"Huh!?" Li You was slightly surprised.

Modi looked at him, a cruel smile on his face, and said, "Did you see my purpose? But it's too late."

"In the battle just now, you made a big mistake. You actually exhausted the divine power that our father left us. This is surprising, but also regrettable. At that time, our uncle Balder had already received the message and was on his way! And now..."

Before he finished speaking, a thunderous roar sounded in the sky, and Li You and Modi both looked up subconsciously.

In the sky, a red dragon covered in iron armor flew across, and then a figure that Li You was already very familiar with jumped down from it.

"Boom-!!"

With a dull thud, Balder's body hit the ice, creating a large, spreading pit. He strode out of the pit, looked at Li You at first glance, and laughed, "Isn't this our foreign friend? Or should I say...it's you!"

He glanced at Modi and Manny beside him, and then sneered: "Since you can beat my two useless nephews like this, it seems that you are indeed worthy of Odin's attention - this is just right."

Balder opened his arms and said, "Just try and run away from me!"

Li You looked solemn and didn't say anything, but he knew very well that the current situation was not optimistic.

After all, Balder is the final boss of the God of War IV. Even without the protection of immortality, he is still a worthy opponent of Kratos with his own strength. In addition, it is impossible to break his protection at this time. Li You doesn't think that he can deal with him after just fighting a big battle.

It seems... there is only one way.

With a puff, Li You pulled out the Fire Sword that was still stuck in Modi's stomach. Modi's legs trembled, and this time he could no longer hold on and fell down.

Then, facing Balder's threat, he calmly opened his hand and took the hammer, spear and shield dropped by Modi.

Balder was stunned.

Li You looked at him and said, "So, I don't think I had time to introduce myself last time. I am a traveler from another country and also a collector. Challenging the strong and using weapons as a bet is my style and principle." "You two... nephews? Although you attacked me indiscriminately, my principles cannot be broken. If this guy loses, the weapon should belong to me."

Balder was amused by Li You: "You are quite calm!"

Seeing that Li You had no intention of running away, he was no longer in a hurry, so he slowed down his pace: "Oh, then take it. Anyway, when I catch you and take you back to see Odin, you won't be able to keep anything!"

"Really? If you can do it - but I don't think you can." Li You said with a smile.

"...Hmm?" Balder suddenly realized something and raised his voice, "What are you going to do!?"

"Too late!" Li You raised his hand and pointed it at Manny who had just gotten up. "Duel field!"

The invisible domain instantly expanded, covering Li You and Manny. Bader, who rushed up, and Modi, who was like a dead dog at Li You's feet, were pushed away by an invisible but unquestionably powerful force.

"What...is this?" Balder knocked on the barrier of the duel field and immediately determined that even with his full strength, he could not break the barrier.

"You want to hide in there and not come out? You are wrong." Seeing that it could not be broken, Balder said grimly, "I can wait here until this barrier disappears!"

"Really? Isn't your first priority to hunt down the tattooed man?" Li You immediately exposed his lie.

"...Tsk, two idiots." Bader immediately understood that it must be Manny and Modi who leaked the information.

But he actually misunderstood. The idiot brothers only revealed that they were here to track Li You. The rest of the information was inferred by Li You based on the game plot.

But at this moment, before Balder could figure out what to do, a voice came from the other side of the field.

"Don't be fooled by him, uncle! This is a domain of rules! As long as he and I win, the domain will disappear!"

It was Manny. After panting for a long time, he finally got up and rested with the big sword on the side. As a result, he was enveloped by Li You's domain.

But as the duel opponent targeted by Li You, he understood what was going on with the help of the power of rules within the duel field, so he spoke out to remind him at this time.

Balder understood that this was a field governed by some special rules, which would not favor Li You alone and would be lifted as long as the conditions were met.

"I see." He looked at Li You with an extremely cold look in his eyes, "I almost got fooled by you... Unfortunately, your little trick didn't work!"

But Li You smiled: "You are wrong, I didn't plan to wait here from the beginning."

Balder: “!?”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it. A little blue light began to appear in front of him and gradually condensed into a high-tech teleportation array.

Balder's eyes widened: "You...!? How can you ignore the rules..."

Li You ignored him. He had no interest in explaining his skills to the enemy. He just focused on reading the bar about his companion's space teleportation.

Of course, Balder's surprise was actually correct. Li You was also restricted by the duel field. Before the duel was over, he could not leave this field, even if he used the system function to teleport.

But as long as he wins the duel, Li You will be free, and the barrier will not disappear instantly. That little time is enough for him to complete the teleportation.

Seeing that Li You seemed to be about to run away, Manny became anxious. He stood up regardless of his injuries, raised his sword and rushed towards Li You with a roar!

“Ahhhhh——!!”

It was at this moment that Bader suddenly had an idea and realized that something was wrong. He shouted, "Wait, Manny!"

But it was too late. Li You drew his sword, and the divine power in his body burst out instantly. The Fire Sword turned into a red light and flew past, and he beheaded Manny with a sword from mid-air!

“Puff, woosh—”

Blood gushed out, and Manny's headless body fell heavily in front of Li You, with blood flowing out.

A flash of light appeared in the duel field, indicating that the battle was over. Manny's sword floated up by itself and fell into Li You's hands.

At the same time, the reading bar of the companion space teleportation array was just completed.

Li You held Manny's greatsword, looked at the furious Balder outside, smiled and waved his hand: "Goodbye, I also gained a lot this time, thank you Aesir for the gift."

"Ahhhhh!!" Balder angrily pounded the rapidly shrinking domain barrier, but unfortunately before the domain dissipated, Li You's figure had disappeared in a flash of blue light, and no trace of him could be found.

As Li You teleported away, the only ones left on the empty snowfield were the half-dead Modi, the beheaded Manny, and the powerless and furious Balder.

Not only did he fail to catch the man, but Balder was also furious that Li You killed his nephew in front of him. He squatted down and hammered the ice under his feet hard, making several large holes in the ice.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Balder stopped only when both his fists were bloodied. He could not feel the pain, but he could see his wounds.

The divine power quickly repaired his injuries, and Balder calmed down.

Over the years, whenever he encountered something irritating, he would choose to hurt himself. Although he couldn't feel anything, the process of recovering from the injury could calm him down.

——Because it would remind him of his endless hatred for his biological mother, and this hatred could overshadow all his other negative emotions.

"...Collector, huh?" Balder stood up, his voice as cold as the chill wind of Helheim, "I'll remember you...We'll definitely meet again."

After saying that, he looked at his two nephews, frowned slightly, but then seemed to understand something and relaxed.

He walked forward, picked up Modi, who was still breathing his last breath, and picked up the two halves of Manny's body. He whistled to call back the red dragon, and let the red dragon carry them away.

……

At this time, on the other side, Kratos and his son had just walked out of the Temple of Tyr.

Needless to say, the two met Bullock here, and as Kratos expected, they became Bullock's old customers.

Kratos didn't have anything to say to Brock, but Brock still gave him a key to the world tree.

After receiving the small gift, Kratos took Atreus out of the temple and headed towards the mountain.

But at this moment, both father and son heard a thunderous sound above their heads!

Kratos immediately pulled Atreus back into the temple, and through the gap in the door, he saw a red dragon flying in the sky.

"Father, that is..."

"Quiet!"

Only after the red dragon flew away did Kratos relax and open the door again.

"That's a dragon!" Atreus was surprised. "How did it appear here?"

Inside the temple, Brok's voice was heard at this time: "The red dragon mount is that idiot Balder. Humph, I wonder who he is harming again, bah."

Mr. Kui frowned slightly, and after a moment he said, "Kid, let's go, speed up."

Atreus didn't understand, but nodded: "I understand!"
