Lamia had done a lot of howork before starting her livestream.
What kind of howork? The answer was how to criticize the various gaplay elents of Netherworld Village.
The sources for this criticism were actually all kinds of anti-fan comnts collected online by the Oath official team.
What Carl found most absurd was that there was even an online forum called "Netherworld Village Jokes."
The forum's popularity was not low, though the bashing inside left Carl confused and baffled.
However, there were actually quite a few posts in this forum that resonated with people.
Under this constant influence, Lamia naturally developed a lot of stereotypes about Netherworld Village.
For instance, regarding the Monster Hunter combat system in Netherworld Village, Lamia's stereotype was that the movents were stiff, skill effects were almost nonexistent, the attack range was pitifully small, and it took forever to chip away at a monster's health.
In summary, it was incredibly boring.
On top of that, Lamia had personally experienced the power of the Seething Bazelgeuse and had been repeatedly ravaged by various map bosses in Monster Hunter.
She already had a very deep understanding of the strength of the monsters these hunter Villager Players had to face.
So Lamia really could not imagine how these hunter villagers used those weapons, with stiff movents, chip damage, and an attack range limited to the tip of the blade, to defeat a terrifying monster like the Seething Bazelgeuse.
One had to know that she had previously struggled imnsely while challenging this Seething Bazelgeuse, even with a bunch of fully automatic weapons, like longswords that could fire sword qi and knight dolls comparable to portable cannons.
When Kyo stood before that Seething Bazelgeuse holding a tachi, to use a sowhat inappropriate analogy, it was like challenging a Tyrannosaurus Rex with a kitchen knife.
How could he win? How was that even possible?
But Kyo soon gave Princess Lamia the answer. Top-tier chanics paired with peak combat skill.
After a brief stagger, the Seething Bazelgeuse charged aggressively at Kyo.
But this charge was easily evaded by Kyo's Foresight Slash, followed by a backhand Spirit Roundslash that upgraded his Spirit Gauge to Spirit Level 1.
To the surrounding players, it might have looked like Kyo had simply used dodge invincibility fras to evade the Seething Bazelgeuse's attack.
But as a digital lifeform, Lamia saw the battle much more clearly.
Combat in Elysium was, in the end, a clash of Data Volu.
For example, the Seething Bazelgeuse's charge used about a hundred units of Data Volu to activate the ability.
When Kyo used Foresight Slash, he also used a certain amount of Data Volu.
Except the purpose of this Data Volu was not to attack, but to plunder the Data Volu of the enemy's attack.
The timing had to be extrely precise. If it was too early, the Seething Bazelgeuse's attack would land squarely on Kyo, dealing massive damage to his main body.
If it was too late, the Bazelgeuse's attack would end, and the hundred units of Data Volu paid for the attack would return to its body.
Only at the exact mont the attack hit could this Foresight Slash "plunder" the Data Volu paid by the Bazelgeuse for its attack.
And Kyo succeeded.
With a "ding," the tachi in Kyo's hand let out a light hum.
Kyo successfully stole the Data Volu of the Bazelgeuse's attack, creating the effect that players saw as evading the monster's attack with Foresight Slash.
Then, the Data Volu from the Bazelgeuse's attack attached itself to the blade of Kyo's tachi, and with a Spirit Roundslash, it instantly brought Kyo's tachi into Spirit Level 1.
Under Lamia's gaze, Kyo completed a Tachi User's mandatory course in re seconds. Three consecutive Counter Slashes straight to Red Gauge.
Is this really sothing a human can do?
In Lamia's eyes, Kyo seed to be dancing an extrely dangerous waltz with this Seething Bazelgeuse.
And it was a close-contact dance.
This Seething Bazelgeuse exhausted every ans of attack it had, headbutts, claw swipes, charges, fire breath, scattering its scales on the ground to cause massive explosions, all to attack Kyo.
But Kyo seed to have seen through all the behavioral patterns of this Seething Bazelgeuse long ago. To use a strange analogy, they were like an old couple who had lived together for many years.
As soon as this Bazelgeuse raised its tail, Kyo guessed it was going to breathe fire next.
In a situation where all your moves were seen through by the enemy, the Data Volu "plundering" ability shown by the tachi was terrifying.
Every attack released by the Bazelgeuse would turn into Spirit and Spirit Gauge for the tachi in Kyo's hands.
This ant the more ferocious the Bazelgeuse's attacks were, the more severe the damage it received from Kyo's counterattacks.
As the Bazelgeuse gradually grew exhausted, the most exaggerated part ca.
When Oath players fought monsters, they directly attacked the monster's Character Core, which was equivalent to using Data Volu to forcefully reduce the opponent's Data Volu.
But every attack from the tachi was like a precise surgical dissection, cutting away every part that ford this Bazelgeuse bit by bit.
At this mont, the Bazelgeuse let out a piercing roar, then flapped its wings to create a gust of wind pressure, trying to escape.
But the second the Bazelgeuse's claws left the ground, Kyo stepped on its wings and leaped into the air, slashing down with a terrifying arc of condensed scarlet spirit blade energy.
Countless spirit blades exploded across the Bazelgeuse's wing mbranes, completely shredding its wings and causing the Bazelgeuse to fall from the air, crashing miserably back onto the ground.
This strike was one Kyo had calculated long ago. He had been waiting for the mont the Bazelgeuse took off to sever its wings and maximize the damage.
This precise cutting technique continued to play out. In its death throes, the Bazelgeuse tried to unleash one last breath attack to fight for its life.
The mont its head tilted back, Kyo was already standing on its head, severing its throat and detonating the scorching liquid stored in its neck.
In Lamia's view, this terrifying monster that she could only run from before was like an infant that could be toyed with at will under Kyo's tachi.
If it took off, Helm Breaker would break its wings and crash it. If it breathed fire, another Helm Breaker would slit its throat and cause a backfire.
Finally, during its desperate charge accompanied by the light of explosions, Kyo even waited directly in its path, using the midair advantage of Helm Breaker to dodge the strike before slashing down to take its last bit of health.
With a final wail from the Seething Bazelgeuse, Kyo killed it without taking any damage in just three minutes and forty-four seconds.
Kyo's smooth combat was like a ticulously choreographed performance, combining violent elegance with chanical coolness.
It successfully promoted the product for the princess's livestream, but the product being promoted was Hasumi, a roadside character already given away for free in Version 1.5.
"Holy crap! Is it really that cool? I need to know how to get this weapon's action module right now!"
Seeing Kyo's cool maneuvers, even the Tachi Users who could not dodge a Kulu-Ya-Ku's kick proudly straightened their backs.
"So when is Oath going to release a similar character?"
"Saviors, if you want to experience this weapon, please co to Netherworld Village..." Hasumi knew that the princess was livestreaming.
Carl also used a short ssage to inform Hasumi of the contents of the comnts in the princess's livestream.
Unsurprisingly, this knight lady's tail shot straight up to the sky again in an instant.
Just as the comnts said, even though Hasumi was currently the kind of pathetic Tachi User who might get carted by cats during a Helm Breaker...
With a sovereign like Kyo around, she could hold her head high.
Unfortunately, Hasumi's blatant act of selling cards in front of a competitor was naturally not allowed by the Oath officials.
Even worse, Lamia's heart had also been captured by that tachi weapon.
Her current thought was, was this really the monster that had just beaten her to a pulp? It did not seem... that strong.
It must be because I was ambushed by it earlier that I found this guy so troubleso.
Just as the terrifying thought of "if I used that weapon, I could also easily kill that Bazelgeuse" surfaced in Princess Lamia's mind.
A dangerous aura surrounded Lamia.
It was the aura of Madam Calamity. Madam Calamity's power flowed into Lamia's body, and at the sa ti, her voice rang in Lamia's ear.
"Princess, it seems you have fallen behind in front of the enemy. It's okay, I'll help you. But next, you must rember to say the right lines according to my instructions!"
"I...I know what I should say," Lamia replied stubbornly.
Only then did she snap out of it and realize, I'm doing a gacha sales livestream right now! How can I let a competitor boast about their product? You're asking to be optimized!
Madam Calamity chuckled in Lamia's ear, and then Lamia obediently continued the gacha sales livestream under Madam Calamity's direction.
"Is that so? Is the weapon really that strong, or is it just that the Savior is strong?"
Lamia returned to her state as a strear sharply critiquing Netherworld Village, and her very first sentence left Hasumi stunned.
Then, Madam Calamity's power suddenly surged into the dead Bazelgeuse's body, making it stand up again and let out a piercing roar at Hasumi.
"Sir Hasumi, let see if an ordinary person using this weapon called a tachi can still be so at ease when facing a monster of this level," Lamia said.
(To be continued.)
