T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 130, Section 129: The Puppet's Infinite Trials

With no information about the enemy, Zhong Zemo stepped forward with his shield, taking the lead to test the combat power of the strange puppet for everyone.

"Aha~~"

He opened his mouth, closed his eyes, and flew back.

The blessing failed, and the small round shield shattered into powder and disappeared instantly.

Zhong Zemo nearly knocked the game offline with two punches.

Just after killing one Dapu, another rabbit-eared girl with superhuman strength appeared.

Leaving Orange Tea behind to look after the unfortunate Squid, the other five swarmed in and carried out a righteous brawl.

The fastest, Jiang Heyi, and the original-flavored fries worked in perfect unison, one attacking the face and the other the chest and abdomen, trying to make the puppet unable to defend itself.

"Crack!"

The long and short swords, still moving with undiminished momentum, trembled violently. The rabbit girl in dragon scale armor precisely caught the blades, which were already moving like afterimages, with her left and right hands.

The incredibly durable and resilient dragon scale gloves rub against the top-tier weapon forged from the heart of the elements.

The blades could not penetrate her defenses, and the elemental bursts could only leave a visible vortex in the gaps between the silvery dragon scales on her armor.

Such strength! The rabbit girl in the dragon scale armor had hands like iron clamps, and no matter how hard the two of them tried, they couldn't pull out the blade.

She smiled sweetly, and then her hands burst forth with an astonishing power, twisting the long and short swords into a spiral.

If Jiang Heyi hadn't sensed something was wrong and proactively abandoned his weapon, while also tearing open the original-flavor fries, both of them would have had their arms broken by that strange force.

The weapons forged from the Heart of Elements were as fragile as sand in her hands.

Jiang Heyi, original flavor fries, weapons are scrapped.

"Hey!"

The blanket viciously stabbed at the rabbit girl's kidneys, its expression as if it couldn't wait to put the big rabbit in a pot and stew it the next second.

The dagger got stuck in the gap between the dragon scale armor plates.

Having learned from the mistakes of the previous two, the bed quickly abandoned its weapon.

It was a wise move. If the jailer's zombie hadn't jumped out and used his body as a shield, she would have been the one torn apart.

With just one punch, a huge hole appeared in the zombie's chest and abdomen. Rabbit Girl reached into the hole with both hands and twisted it with force, easily tearing it apart. Then, carrying the half-mutilated corpse, she accurately smashed it into the bed, causing her to fall to the ground.

The heavy blow caused the woman in bed to let out a mournful cry; her thigh was injured, and she was unable to get up for a moment.

When she raised her head, the rabbit girl, bathed in blood, tilted her head slightly and grinned at the blankets.

In her hand was half of a body that had just been torn from a zombie.

This scene is more terrifying than any horror movie.

Brutal terror and captivating elegance can be so harmoniously displayed in a single doll.

Zhong Zemo dragged his breathless body back to the battlefield. He switched to his large shield and blocked the bunny girl's punch as she tried to instantly kill him.

A shieldbearer must always stand in front of their teammates and withstand the most dangerous skills.

"If a small round shield can't hold out, what about a large shield!"

"Clap!"

The rabbit girl's hand broke through the shield, and with its remaining force, it struck Zhong Zemo's chest.

The wind spirit of Orange Tea saved his life. Zhong Zemo, whose body was a little sluggish, managed to accelerate and take a sideways position before being hit. The ear-piercing sound of the dragon scale armor scraping against the protective gear made him sweat profusely.

Outrageous!

Although Zhong Zemo's large shield is only purple, it provides a very high defense value, far exceeding that of the small round shield used for shield parrying.

The rabbit girl was destroyed with a single punch and had to be sent back for repairs.

The same goes for the breastplate. Zhong Zemo was wearing the Clear One series of heavy armor, but it was no different from tofu under her fists.

Another punch, and it enters battle damage mode.

"Could this guy's ability be to clear or completely destroy a player's equipment after a heavy blow?"

Once equipment is damaged beyond repair, you must use the precision repair function provided by the guild or NPCs, as this cannot be solved by temporary repair kits.

While the others switched to their spare weapons, Zhong Zemo took out his last medium-sized shield and threw it like a dart, aiming straight for the rabbit girl's face.

She didn't even glance at the rapidly spinning shield. With a flick of her wrist, she extended two fingers and easily plucked it, like plucking a leaf, thus confiscating the "hidden weapon."

Without any hammering, the medium shield shattered into pieces and vanished with the wind.

The guess came true.

What a vicious doll! It can directly double the player's repair costs!
"Step aside!"

Jiang Heyi and the Four Primal Bodies shouted at the same time.

The elements of water and fire merged, creating a torrent that roared past and struck the bunny girl directly.

The rabbit girl assumed a sumo wrestling stance, making a grasping motion in the void in front of her. Her dragon scale armor shimmered with light, and an invisible force surged, dissolving the continuous elemental power within her.

The mint potion granted the four primitives the power to fire for an extended period. The rabbit girl's immovable stance lasted only four or five seconds before her legs, which were rooted to the ground like tree roots, were pushed backward, carving out two shallow furrows.

The dragon scales on his body, shimmering with silver light, began to smoke, and scorching waves of air surged outwards.

Jiang Heyi vaguely guessed that the Dragon Scale Armor possessed the magical power to neutralize magic and elemental forces. At this moment, due to the continuous output of the four primal bodies, this transformed armor was already on the verge of overload.

Magic power gathered in Jiang Heyi's hands, forming the [Magic Shaping] two-handed sword.

He gripped it with both hands, ignoring the elemental turbulence splashing around the rabbit girl as the torrent struck her, and positioned himself behind the immobilized rabbit girl, aiming for the back of her head...

"Despicable guy."

Jiang Heyi's heart almost stopped. The rabbit girl turned her head 180 degrees, her red eyes staring at him fiercely.

Even though Jiang Heyi had excellent mental fortitude, the unexpected situation still made his exertion somewhat awkward, and his one-handed sword ultimately struck the spine of the dragon scale armor.

The dragon scales, already tinged with reddish silver, were suddenly attacked, like a boiler under immense pressure being subjected to external force.

"boom!"

A large, black rat rescued Jiang Heyi, who was standing nearby.

Every step I take feels like a breeze, a refreshing breeze, a magical wind, the bed is absolutely amazing!
This is something no one can keep up with. Danger always lags behind me!
After the explosion, the rabbit girl was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a conspicuous crater.

"Where's the rabbit doll?" The jailer looked around warily.

“Look, it’s everywhere.” The Tetramorph pointed to the blood plasma on the ground.

The violent explosion turned the bunny girl into bunny-chan.

Melee-focused, weak to magic?

Not really. The Dragon Scale Armor has excellent magic resistance, so the violent explosion seems to indicate that it can absorb some magic.

It's all thanks to Peppermint Mom's potion, otherwise how could the Tetramorphs last so long?

After defeating the enemy blocking the way again, the expected reward did not appear, and no experience was gained.

"No way……"

The rabbit girl "sauce" gathered in the air and turned into a blood-red ball.

A dull, rhomboid crystal emerged from inside the sphere and returned to the polyhedron above.

A crystal-clear, full, and sparkling blue rhombus-shaped crystal floated down, completed its exchange with it, and merged into the blood-red sphere.

The blood cells began to wriggle again, and soon, the wheat-colored dark elf from the Bed XP Special Forces took shape.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched at the boundary between reality and illusion.

"What a joke, can't you kill him?!" Zhong Zemo was completely numb.

"The polyhedron in the sky is extremely malevolent; let's attack it first."

Jiang Heyi had already sensed something was wrong. If a rhombus represented a human puppet, then this huge polyhedron would be enough for them to fight to the end of time.

It is composed of countless rhombuses.

The rabbit girl's terrifying equipment-destroying ability caused the weapons of the three damage dealers to be destroyed, and Zhong Zemo's shields were all wiped out, leaving him only able to fight with his bare hands.

Faced with the dark elf puppet that immediately vanished into the shadows upon appearing, Jiang Heyi had only one word.

"withdraw!"

Review the game first, then devise a strategy. The "mowing down the grass" tactic is just a deceptive illusion to lull players into a false sense of security; the real story is far more complex than they imagine.

The polyhedron cast an illusory blue light, sweeping across the entire trial arena.

The arena barrier, which had been closed by the Church of Eternal Night, reopened, and a massive curtain separated the inside from the outside.

"The Starry Sky Jade has malfunctioned."

"mine too!"

"And mine."

Jiang Heyi gritted his teeth and stared up at the polyhedron that was still scanning.

It was it that did it.

Either win the battle or die in the trial grounds.

This is the choice that polyhedra offer them.

This wretched thing could never be the creation of the Clarity Ones; its specifications and power far surpass those of the Clarity Ones and the Church of Eternal Night.

Thinking about the background story and plot is of no use in understanding the situation; the battle of the dark elves has already begun in the shadows.

The blankets were kicked out of the darkness by the other person, and she opened her mouth and closed her eyes.

Before they knew it, the entire training ground went dark.

The Dark Elf Doll is creating her own stage.

She is coming.

……

……

As dawn broke, Jiang Heyi woke up and stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

Zhong Zemo's condition was much the same as his.

What kind of monster did they encounter?

Relying on the mutual destruction of their blankets, they managed to defeat the Dark Elf puppet despite losing four members.

But the battle was not over yet. The rhombus descended again. It was like some kind of special personality chip. Once replaced, the doll's behavior patterns, personality, and abilities would immediately change.

In their third battle, they faced mushroom-men who could spread spores and cause a fungal carpet to grow on the trial grounds.

Under the influence of hallucinogenic dust, the original flavor fries and the jailer left Jiang Heyi one after the other.

The spirit summoned by the prison guard before his death provided Jiang Heyi with a second of fear control. During this brief window of opportunity, the weak flame was finally ignited by him.

Then... the Big Bang.

A lethal dose of spores covered the site, and the dust it shed caught fire, blasting Jiang Heyi into the air.

It was an extremely foolish mistake, but at this point in the battle, Jiang Heyi, whose physical and mental strength were already overloaded, felt like he was living a life worse than death.

He even felt that this was his consciousness deliberately inducing him to do so.

I'd rather be free from this sooner rather than later.

"Hey Heyi, let me make a hypothetical statement, just a hypothetical one." Zhong Zemo gulped down a mouthful of water, "The Trial Arena, the word 'trial' in this name doesn't correspond to this polyhedron, does it?"

Jiang Heyi's face darkened.

What does that mean?
To test whether players are qualified to become Hercules, let's have a 12-trial system.

Given the number of rhombuses in a polyhedron, there must be at least 1200 trials, right?
but……

Thinking about it carefully, being able to experience all sorts of dolls with different abilities in just one level is definitely worth the ticket price.

In ordinary games, such intense boss battles are simply handled by placing a bunch of reskinned bosses or just piling on stats to annoy players.

Stellaris, by not resorting to reskinning, has already outperformed 9% of game developers.
