Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 298 Watch closely, this is how friendly forces are played without taking damage!

Since the concept of boss battles appeared in video games, the rule that players and bosses are forcibly trapped in the same area has remained almost unchanged.

The most classic and memorable one is Mega Man.

When the BOSS is officially triggered, the gate through which players pass will be locked, and the BOSS will begin to show its health bar. Unless one side is completely killed, the gate to the BOSS room area will not reopen.

Similar situations can be encountered in games such as Castlevania, God of War, and Metal Slug.

On the contrary, the kind of hunting that involves chasing prey and moving between areas, as seen in early Monster Hunter games, is actually quite rare.

By the way, remember to stay away from the area change point when cutting off tails or killing prey, otherwise you'll bear the consequences~
Ys Origins follows the oldest rules for triggering boss battles.

Whether it's triggering a story NPC battle or a monster guardian BOSS battle on the current floor, both sides will be forcibly confined to a fixed area. Even if players want to escape, they can't and can only face the difficulties brought by the BOSS and the environment.

All Cheng Tian did was restore the original game mechanics and use the field restriction mechanism to forcibly drag the Demon King Dam back.

In theory, as long as he doesn't die, Demon King Dam will never be able to leave this area where the twin black and white towers clash.

Previously, it was only the players who were unable to escape due to this rule and were forced to face the BOSS directly. Now, however, it's the BOSS's turn to be dragged back by an invisible wall and forced to face the players directly.

No, it should be called our BOSS!

At this moment, Cheng Tian's blue wings had not faded, and the Azure Moon Order was still activated.

All players, including Cheng Tian himself, received this notification at this moment.

[The Crimson Moon Ritual is activated, and the primordial rules reappear—]

All units on both sides will receive the "Nullify Friendly Fire" buff.

Chosen players often feel constrained because their damage also affects their teammates. High-level team contracts that grant "friendly fire immunity" are extremely rare and highly sought after, and even if someone manages to acquire one, they almost never choose to sell it.

This is another reason why shield-wielding warriors like Cleverhead are so popular: even if they are occasionally injured by friendly fire, they won't immediately be on the verge of death.

With the "friendly fire immunity" buff applied, all players felt as if a seal had been broken, their spirits lifted, and they looked at the Demon King Dam in the sky, who was chipping away at the invisible wall, their eyes filled with eager excitement.

Um, let's take a psionicist as an example here.

Psionicists' psionic lightning automatically seeks out the nearest life form to damage. Under normal circumstances, the caster needs to use their mind to actively interfere with the lightning target, which not only consumes more energy but also often results in accidentally injuring teammates.

However, if there is a "friendly fire immunity" buff, then the psionicist can throw lightning directly into their own group without any fear of accidentally hitting friendly units. They can even use friendly units as a conduit for psionic lightning to extend their attack range.

This buff is no exaggeration to say that it has lifted the seal on players. Many wide-area damage skills that players have in their hands are now ready to be unleashed.

As the maintainer of order, the rules reproduced or established by the Order of the Azure Moon must reflect fairness and justice. Just like the rules triggered by the BOSS battle where the Demon King Dam was pulled back, if it doesn't die, Cheng Tian will also be unable to leave the current area.

Cheng Tian recreated the "friendly fire immunity" buff based on the original game's rule that "attacks between monster enemies will not harm each other."

If the enemy can use it, then we can use it too; that's how fair the Order of the Azure Moon is.

The Twin Goddesses faction has a large number of players, player-generated units, and NPCs on the Twin White Tower side. The Dark Clan (crossed out) Cainfact faction has only one unit left on the Black Tower side: Demon Lord Dam.

You could say the rules are fair, but if you can't enjoy them, that's entirely your own problem.

Finally, the Demon King Dam gave up his futile attempt to break through the invisible wall, turned his bloated body, and looked again at the vengeful angel who shone brightly in the sunlight.

In response, Mr. Cheng simply did one thing.

He raised the Flame Dragon Sword high above his head, swung it forcefully towards the Demon King Dam, and shouted loudly.

"Fuck him!"

The air seemed to freeze slightly, then a deafening roar erupted from the crowd.

Players, their dungeon projections, and even the local NPCs all unleashed an astonishing fighting spirit at this moment!

Especially for the players, although most of them still don't know whether Cheng Tian is a player or a local NPC, Cheng Tian's gesture for them to participate in attacking the BOSS is directly equated with "increasing the BOSS battle contribution".

This instance is indeed a bounty instance, but it has the dual attributes of "first encounter" and "top of the list". Moreover, the players who have reached this level are all quite experienced. The scale of the battle has obviously surpassed all their past main story instance experiences.

Based on this situation, as long as you participate in the attack on Demon King Dam, you will most likely get a share of the loot when the treasure chest drops.

Even the remaining players present couldn't help but think of the three players who chose to retreat, wondering if they would regret it.

In just a few breaths, Demon King Dam was overwhelmed by the attacks from the player group.

Due to the magic-suppressing effect, Demon King Dam was unable to release the Fact Barrier, let alone directly release the Primal Magic Barrier by calling upon magic power, and could only swallow it all by force.

Although Damm's actual health bar didn't move much because he used his large claws, which resembled those of WarGreymon, to protect the unrecoverable black pearl on his chest, his outer shell, which was mixed with monster components, was inevitably damaged.

Even more terrifying, the opposing angel of vengeance acted like the eye of a typhoon, sucking all the parts that had been peeled off Damm's body and exploded into soul fragments into the gauntlet, directly causing Damm to lose the regeneration ability of the corresponding parts.

This can't go on!

Faced with the frenzied fire from the players, Demon King Dam spread his wings and charged directly towards the group of players.

If I can't defeat you, you vengeful angel, then I'll use the flesh and souls of these humans to make up for my physical losses!

Its massive body slammed straight into the ground, its Asura Battle Axe already raised.

But at this moment, the originally solid ground suddenly became incredibly fragile, causing the lower half of the Demon King Dam to almost completely sink into it as he crashed down...

No! This is a trap!
When the Demon King Dam sensed something was wrong, the mechanical mouth constructed from high-purity Cleria ore snapped shut.

This is the super-powerful rock-cutting machine "Nero the Heavenly Serpent" that has been reactivated by the sacred flame!
Deep inside the throats of some unfortunate allies, the Heavenly Serpent had already firmly bitten the lower half of Demon King Dam. Thanks to the friendly fire buff, these unlucky souls, who hadn't been shredded by the tunnel boring machine, could only watch helplessly as the depths of the serpent's throat began to glow, and then they felt an unprecedented warmth—

The Heavenly Railgun, carrying the sacred flame, completely covered Dam's broken demonic body from bottom to top!
