Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

Side Quest 1 Completed, Intelligence Tool Acquired: Bloodstained Family Letter (Blue)

Bloodstained Family Letter (Blue): "North America's nouveau riche are attempting to buy their way to myth with money and blood. The letter contains a map of Bradford's planned smuggling route for high-risk relics in London. Player 'Jiang Fan' unlocks the hidden location: Ghost Market at Shipwreck Harbor."

[Note: After obtaining the coordinates of this location, game characters who are not participating in the main quest can go there.]

Side quest one completed, revealing the full network of relationships.

[Amya Serwyn Bradford is the silent party of the "Boundless Covenant," and her brother Thompson is the headless knight who just died at your hands. "Rias" has taken the place of "Silver Fox," which will inevitably lead to the Bradford family's relentless pursuit.]

[Training suggestion: Find the eavesdropper who manages the Silent Ones, have him write a letter to the Bradford family to confirm Rias's identity, and then kill him.]

No wonder it's called a side quest; although it's not closely related to the main story of Act III, it's very much related to Rias.

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment. It seemed he still needed to find that Mr. Sen.

By this time, the death toll had climbed to one million.

The screen cracked directly in the middle, with grayish-white snowflakes visible.

How is that possible?

From the moment the Pale Knight appeared, Jiang Fan had been following him, and there was nothing he missed.

The only thing that happened was that Richard was killed.

[Fragment of Doomsday 1: Lionheart was killed by the Pale Knight. The concept of death permeated everything about him. Merlin (Tower of Avalon) borrowed the dream energy of millions of people from Skysea City to help Lionheart (the Lion of Destruction) summon his companion Robin Hood (the Will of the Forest), who was also killed at the same time. Due to the widespread annihilation of souls, those soulless bodies also began to die. This is the end of the world.]

[This mission has failed. Please restart the game from the turning point.]

Oh my god, there are bad women too.

Jiang Fan felt a headache coming on. The poor citizens of Tianhai were killed while they were sleeping. It seemed that the Lionheart King couldn't die in this scene.

One death means instant failure, but thankfully this save file will automatically revert, so there's no need to try again.

In the current V0.01 version, the save function is mainly reflected in how many lives Rias has, and there aren't any other features yet.

Perhaps there will be other ways to play with the save file after the version is updated.

As he had expected, there was indeed an unseen companion by the side of [Lionheart], a "Robin Hood" summoned from history by [Merlin].

Robin Hood is similar in character to the Liangshan heroes in the classic Chinese novel *Water Margin*. The term "outlaw" is specifically used to describe people like him. According to historical legend, due to Richard's campaign, Robin Hood became an outlaw because he couldn't stand the tyranny of Prince John, who was left to guard the country. He and his companions robbed the exorbitant taxes on their way to Nottingham County, shouting, "The ill-gotten gains of the rich should go to the poor!"

He was eventually pardoned by Richard upon his return and became a bodyguard to the Lionheart, and the two became close friends.

So it's not surprising that the Pale Knight killed two people with one shot just now.

The game then returns to the scene where the Pale Knight departs from King's Harbor, with King Lionheart sending out his trusted companions to prepare for their departure.

This time, Jiang Fan did not let the other party leave. Instead, he made Rias emerge from the barrier of death.

He wanted to prevent the other party from making direct contact with the Pale Knight.

Upon seeing the silver-haired girl reappear, Richard stopped in his tracks, and the Lionheart insignia responded with an extraordinary frequency.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

That scalding sensation suppressed the desire to possess it.

"Stop the Pale Knight; he is creating disaster everywhere."

Rias spoke softly.

Richard was somewhat surprised by what he heard, but quickly recovered. If it were that person, he would definitely do the same.

As for wishes, it doesn't seem too late to make them after saving the person.

"Even so, there doesn't seem to be a better way. Getting close to Him might lead to something very bad."

Richard rested his chin on his right hand and thought carefully.

Oh my god, so you knew you'd die if you got close to the Pale Knight? Then why did you go and get yourself killed?

Jiang Fan couldn't help but complain.

But he probably guessed something. Richard's friendliness towards Rias was far beyond what was normal. It couldn't be because the British didn't lie to the British, could it?

There is probably a deeper reason; perhaps he felt that Rias might be related to King Arthur.

To be honest, Jiang Fan is now a little suspicious of Rias's identity. He initially thought she was a game console that had been rescued from another world, but now it seems that things are a bit different.

The appearance of Rias from another timeline at the beginning further corroborated his conjecture.

Perhaps it's not that Rias possesses the [King Arthur] sequence, but rather that she herself has an intricate connection with King Arthur?

That's why Richard was so eager to contact the Pale Knight in order to find out the truth, only to make a huge mistake by taking away Skysea City.

"We don't need to defeat Him. He leaves traces wherever He stays, like that anomaly here. We can eliminate them one by one. He himself won't attack this city."

Rias looked at "Dance of Death," who was engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Feng. The former was slightly stronger, but the latter seemed to be extremely good at hiding, and the situation was deadlocked for a moment.

"You know the Pale Knight very well."

Richard turned around and stood beside Rias.

"I only know a little bit."

Rias's long, tied-up hair fluttered in the breeze. This was essentially the grand ceremony that allowed her to obtain the [Pale Knight] title. Every sequencer who came here was a chosen supporting character.

Jiang Fan controlled Rias, and the two of them, Lionheart, rushed towards the "Dance of Death".

Although I don't know what the side quests are for, it's better to complete them than not to.

Now that we have two third-tier helpers, it's the perfect time, place, and people.

Meanwhile, the red dot on the headless knight had not disappeared, clearly indicating that he was observing from the shadows.

The two knights, one in red and one in gold, sped away from their original positions at speeds far exceeding those of Olympic sprint champions. Death Dance had clearly noticed the commotion and was about to turn into bones to escape when a stronger wind pressure suppressed its movement.

Lu Feng's eyes were red as he stared intently at the strange phenomenon.

"The bones in this body are still his; if I break them, he'll be reduced to ashes."

The Dance of Death, while fleeing, mocked and ridiculed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's poetic imagery actually weakened slightly, but it still didn't give the Dance of Death any chance to escape.

Rias and Richard's arrival surprised him slightly, but that was fine; perhaps he wouldn't have to destroy the body himself.

The two knights, one high and one low, leaped up simultaneously and launched an attack on the skeleton that was escaping through the air.

However, just as they were about to make contact with the skeleton's body, the latter's body twisted strangely, just in time to dodge the two swords attacking from both sides.

"Such agile movements."

Richard, as always, praised his opponent.

Even the most powerful knight cannot twist his body against his own physiology, but this skeleton can obviously do it, even though it makes a grinding sound as it twists.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the only way to escape is to kill you all."

The "Dance of Death" emitted a sinister aura of disgust. It was firmly locked onto by Lu Feng's aura, and this was a port, unlike Mangshan, where it was easier to hide.

Then cracks appeared in every bone in its body, and it began to beat rhythmically like a musical instrument.

Immediately afterwards, all items within the range of these bone-crackling sounds showed signs of breaking.

"Um?"

Lu Feng looked surprised. He used the water beneath his feet to block out the sounds.

A new notification also appeared on the game screen.

[Mini-game: Death Waltz]

A rhythm bar similar to that in rhythm games will appear at the bottom of the screen.

When players control their characters to attack or dodge, if they don't step on the beat, they will not only consume double the stamina/yellow bar, but also continuously accumulate the "Dying Will" debuff. When the "Dying Will" is full, the character will be forcibly frozen and dance for 2 seconds, and lose 50% of their maximum health. This mini-game will end if anyone gets within ten meters of the "Dance of Death".

"Dance of Death" fully unleashed his vision, encompassing all three people present.

No wonder it has a B- rating.

Jiang Fan had already assessed the combat strength of everyone present when the fight began, including Lionheart King and Xin Qiji, both of whom were B-level combatants.

The Headless Horseman is rated C++, while Van Helsing is rated B--.

[Lionheart] and [Xin Qiji] are one level stronger than [Van Helsing] because they are exclusive to their respective sequences.

However, judging from actual combat performance, although [Lionheart] possesses the original text, he did not completely dominate [Van Helsing] in the ranged combat area where [Van Helsing] excels. This rating is still a comprehensive rating.

Now, "Dance of Death" has completely suppressed the three of them in its area of ​​expertise.

Jiang Fan controlled Rias, dodging in rhythm with the cracking of bones. Fortunately, his reflexes were constantly being enhanced by his improved aptitude, allowing him to keep up.

In a head-on confrontation, unless you've used the [Knight Sequence Honor Factor] and used four yellow bars to counter it, "Dance of Death" is a sequence exclusive to those who have reached the third rank. I estimate that a normal attack would be enough to give you a hard time.

Richard and Lu Feng quickly recovered, but their attack was greatly reduced as a result.

The Lionheart's battles are actually quite large and sweeping. Facing this "freeze-the-woods" game, he has to complete the actions and dodge the bone-cracking waves in a very short time. He can probably only use 60% or 70% of his strength.

Lu Feng wasn't much better off; they were both in the same line of work, fighting positional warfare on the battlefield.

Before the three of them could fully adjust, "Dance of Death" directly aimed at Lu Feng's location and made a grasping motion.

The "giant whale skeleton," originally used for defense, suddenly closed from the ground like a bear trap, and several bone tips, like mammoth tusks, pierced directly into his abdomen and legs, causing bright red blood to splatter from the air.

Richard's mind went blank; if that shot had been aimed at him, he might be the one seriously injured right now.

He was about to turn back to look for the silver-haired girl, but with [Holy Sword Frenzy] around, he was safe.

To Richard's surprise, Rias had already moved forward more than ten meters, and it was estimated that she was about seventy or eighty meters away from the location of the "Dance of Death".

Jiang Fan felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.

We need to find a way to make Rias faster, otherwise she won't make it to the Dance of Death in time.

By the way, the [Victory Cake] you get from the treasure chest can increase speed, and the increase is quite significant.

Jiang Fan directly presented Rias with a gift, placing the pink pastry in front of her.

In the scene, Rias looked at the suddenly appearing pastries, a hint of surprise and delight flashing in her blood-red eyes.

[Faith Value +2]

The girl took a bite of the pastry, and quickly finished the palm-sized pastry.

The next moment, she suddenly felt her body become lighter, and even the wind slowed down.

Reduces dodge recovery time by 10%!

Jiang Fan found it much easier to control Rias to dodge now, even though [Lionheart] and [Xin Qiji] had much higher stats than Rias.

But they have no player control and no "beat bar" like in a game console, so they can only rely on instinct to dodge.

Without the foresight to think ahead, they are destined to be much slower than Rias.

Amid Richard and Lu Feng's astonished gazes, Rias swiftly approached the "Dance of Death."

"This is impossible. I've absorbed the melodies of Gao Jianli and many other great musicians. How did you determine that?"

Although "Dance of Death" has no facial expression, the group could still sense its unexpectedness from the hoarse, bellows-like sound it made.

The response to its doubts was Rias's breaking of the [Death Waltz] rhythm.

The silver-haired girl had already come within ten meters, and the cracking bones dared not make a sound anymore, shrinking back like a shy plant.

"The gods are guiding me."

As the girl whispered, two holders of exclusive sequences rushed over.

With a burning holy sword in one hand and a swirling longsword in the other, they attacked from the left and right with overwhelming force, annihilating the strange phenomenon in light and wind.

Side Quest 2 completed, obtained the intelligence tool: Demon's Embers (Blue)

"This ember contains the devil's whispers: 'When the four relics wail in the four corners of Tianhai, the gates of the fourth tier will open for me.' You have uncovered the truth behind the series of mutations in Tianhai City and successfully marked the coordinates of the last key point of the chain ritual. [Mephisto] has lowered your danger level."

[Note: "Germ Phenomenon," "Jack the Ripper," and "Dance of the Death" have been sacrificed.]

Mephisto?

The person causing trouble in Tianhai City was actually this demonic sequence.

Jiang Fan knew a bit about him; he was the core villain in "Faust," a classic embodiment of Western demonology, who loved to use contracts to harvest souls.

Therefore, his advanced task is to harvest the four phenomena.

The arrival of the Pale Knight helped him complete this task more effectively.

The opponent's last coordinates have been discovered, so perhaps I can quietly sabotage them.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Rias standing there, Richard came over and asked her with concern.
