The Devil Inside

"No answer? Never mind."

Fox raised the sword again and held it in front of him. "With your skills, my swordsmanship should be able to reach a higher level. The sword in your hand is Rachel Darkwood's 'Blood Roar', right? How exaggerated! She actually lent you Blood Roar... Should I thank her for her generosity, or yours?"

“…I just think you’re noisy.”

Han Solo muttered to himself inexplicably, pulling out an ordinary short sword.

Under Fox's suspicious gaze, he placed the dagger on the Blood-Roaring Sword and slashed it fiercely to the right.

"Crack!"

With a slight crisp sound, the blood-red light dissipated, and it broke and split into two pieces.

"?!"

Fox was shocked.

The Blood Roaring Sword is very famous. Its material and craftsmanship are both top-notch, and its former owner, Leonardo the Blood Lion, is a top swordsman in Zelmon.

How could a time-tested and world-renowned sword be easily cut by a seemingly featureless dagger?

Fox looked at the dagger in Han Solo's hand.

It was too rough. The blade was made of the worst iron material. The blade was uneven and the blade had no sharpness at all, giving people a dull and heavy feeling.

It is not worthy of being called a weapon for killing or self-defense; it is just a tool for cutting meat and peeling skin.

Pointing this kind of thing at criminals will only encourage their arrogance.

But just now, it cut off the blood cry easily.

The dagger obtained from the initial room looks ordinary, but it is also extraordinary.

It is something very special:

【Name: Iron-cast Dagger】

[Introduction: An ordinary dagger, made of cheap materials, crude workmanship, can be found everywhere. ]

[Exclusive: Han Solo. If Han Solo equips this sword, it can be regarded as the 'Blade of Time'. ]

……

……

[Name: Blade of Time]

[Introduction: No one can explain the origin of this sword, and it is difficult to define its existence. It connects the past, present and future, has no origin, no end, cannot be observed, and cannot be described.]

[Storing something: storing something in the long river of time. If the item is not fixed, it will inevitably change when it is taken out next time, and no one can predict how it will change. ]

[Time sequence: Swing the sword to the left to go back in time; swing the sword to the right to go to the future.]

[Mercy: The Blade of Time does not interfere with any living being, its abilities do not take effect, and it does not cause any damage when slashed.]

The Blood-Roaring Sword is a famous sword with guaranteed quality. It is not so easy to destroy it.

But in the face of time, nothing is solid or indestructible.

Han Solo placed the Blade of Time on the Blood Roaring Sword and swung it to the right. The friction between metal and metal made a sharp sound. In that short moment, the Blood Roaring Sword experienced many changes and witnessed the ups and downs of the eras.

In just one breath, tens of thousands of years have passed. Even something that is said to be immortal will inevitably decline during this long journey.

Its breakage was already destined.

Only Han Solo could see the words made of gold sand, condensed on the bluestone road of the market:

[Oh my god! What did you do? You broke the Blood Sword! ]

[The Blood Roaring Sword is of great significance to Rachel. To her, it is not just a "famous sword", but also carries her grandfather's earnest expectations for her. She regards the Blood Roaring Sword as an encouragement and a responsibility. It is the spiritual pillar that supports her to start again after countless setbacks and discouragements.]

[You destroyed it on purpose, without any psychological burden at all. Your iron-bloodedness and cruelty are frightening! ]

[The plunder is successfully launched, and you gain 100 free attributes (from Rachel Darkwood's reluctance). ]

[You can no longer gain free points from the Blood Roaring Sword and its derivatives. ]

There is nothing to be disturbed about, and there is no cruelty.

This is emergency hedging.

Destroying the Blood Roaring Sword was part of the plan. Han Solo asked for it specifically because he knew it was very important to Rachel. Otherwise, how would he make up for the missing attribute points?

Getting 100 free attributes was expected.

In the game, this number is given for destroying the target's "favorite thing".

Next…

【Strength: 100】

[Agility: 50]

[Physique: 50]

【Intelligence: 30】

[Free points: 4]

Han Solo adjusted to the full Sony force and subconsciously stretched his body.

He looked at Fox, who was on high alert and clearly sensed something was wrong, and smiled: "Are you done? I'm getting a little impatient."

Chapter 18 #018 Only Here

The Zelmon continent is not a peaceful world. Human life is not precious here, and swords are a necessity for everyone to travel.

Of course there is a weapons shop in the Long Street Market, selling cheap goods that can be found everywhere.

Han Solo popped out the spider silk, passed through the window, and when it rolled back, he had a one-handed sword in his hand.

Without any hesitation, he appeared in front of Fox in a flash, and the sword blade coated with maintenance grease fell on his head. Dark clouds pressed down overhead, as if the sky was collapsing.

That power is too terrifying.

Fox barely managed to parry, the impact from the blade made him question his life, was this the kind of sound that a sword could produce?

He had used a long sword to bear a heavy hammer, and had also used a long-handled double-sided axe, but the burden on his arms both times was not as great as the one just now!

There is no breathing room at all.

The second sword and the third sword followed one after another. Han Solo's attack was like a tide, one wave after another. Fox held his breath and gathered his strength, parrying twice.

The arm bones were shaking uncontrollably and the muscles were no longer able to exert any strength.

Fox lowered his eyebrows and looked over, and saw that the palm of his hand was covered in blood and flesh.

He didn't know what exactly happened, he only knew that his opponent inexplicably opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his fighting power increased a lot.

Han Solo possesses extraordinary skills, and his swordsmanship is rare in the world.

This kind of person cannot be judged by common sense.

If an ordinary person is a little stronger, then he is only a little stronger. In fact, he may not be able to perform better than before in actual combat because he does not know how to use his advantages and how to attack efficiently.

People like Han Solo are at the other extreme.

He... knows how to fight too well.

As long as he has a slight advantage, he can turn it into victory;

As long as the enemy makes the slightest mistake, he will pursue them relentlessly, magnifying their flaws infinitely, causing the opponent to receive more severe punishment than imagined, even death.

Fox has found out.

Han Solo's attacks become more direct and more explicit.

Before the Blood-Roaring Sword broke, he used feints, psychological warfare, containment and guidance, and he moved his feet more frequently than his hands.

but now……

He almost gave up all pretense. He was frank, brutal, violent, and harsh.

His "playing style", his "style", conveys his will and contempt.

Fox seemed to hear his ruthless declaration:

"Fox, you are too weak"!

What made Fox despair was that he had no way to refute. Han Solo's attack was like ink splashing, covering the sky and the sun, suffocating.

But he won't give up.

His family was destroyed, he killed his mother and relatives, and fled for 30,000 miles.

After drinking ice and swallowing snow and experiencing all the hardships, the ending is to die in a foreign land? No one can accept this kind of thing.

I can only use that——

Alchemy of life.

Human blood, which is full of magical power, can be mixed with ordinary tattoo pigments and used to draw specific runes on a person's body to double one's combat power.

Even an ordinary person who has not received training can defeat a fully armed knight with the blessing of life alchemy.

The price is just one's own life.

It is simple to obtain, has an extremely fast effect, and is extremely powerful. Anyone can easily replicate it as long as they have the relevant knowledge.

This is a blow to the dignity of those who have nowhere to go, and a desperate struggle for those who have nothing. The poorer people are, the easier it is for them to accept this technology.

You could even say... they crave it.

Because of this, life alchemy has been an absolute taboo throughout the dynasties.

But it is hard to stop, there are always people who retain and spread the technology. The Zelmon continent is not a peaceful world, and human life is not precious here.

"Go away!"

Fox swung his sword at an inappropriate moment, and the black and red sword energy lifted the bluestone slabs on the street and slashed towards Han Solo's chest.

Han Solo ducked and thrust his sword forward, stabbing at Fox's left thigh.

"collapse!"

The blade is damaged.

The dark red "qi" flowed violently on Fox's body surface, covering him like a full body armor.

The one-handed sword stabbed into it and was immediately crushed into iron filings.

Bright red runes crawled all over his body like worms, strange lines spread and covered his face, and the vitality alchemy had been activated.

At a certain moment, the vitality is squeezed to a critical point and suddenly explodes.

The powerful shock wave swept through, pushing Han Solo five meters away. He looked at Fox, not surprised: "... Life Alchemy?"

"Wow!"

Fox tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He wiped the blood with the back of his hand, staring at Han Solo with his red eyes: "It's time to end."

It’s really...difficult.

Han Solo looked at the opponent in front of him and never expected that a character he had never seen in the game would be so tricky!

He drew out the Blade of Time once again, holding it in reverse, and pressed it against his chest: "It's time to end it. I agree."

He stabbed the sword into his chest.

Then, swipe to the right.

Fox was overdrawing his life, and intense pain burst out from the depths of his soul, torturing his will.

He was no longer able to think deeply. The pain had made him lose all his calmness and patience. He only wanted to beat, dismember, kill, or do other similar acts of violence to vent his anger.

But the scene before him made him restrain his desire to attack.

Han Solo committed suicide!

He plunged the sword into his chest and gave up his life -

On the surface, this is the case.

The dagger had indeed pierced into the body, but there was no sign of pain on Han Solo's face, and there was no sign of vitality being lost.
