Chapter 1261: Chapter 569: Encounter with a Female Gamer!

In this game, a rare monster refers to an uncommon variety—a named, unique creature that respawns after defeat. Though it drops items just like ordinary monsters, the loot from a rare monster’s first kill is most precious.

Upon sight, it’s worth the risk of death to engage in battle.

Goblin Rakaze is a warrior, not only two levels higher than Lin Baici, but also possessing three skills, which is more than Lin Baici has.

In those RPG games in the real world, there’s often auto-targeting, where skills automatically hit the monster after the player clicks on it with the mouse.

But "Dark Faith" is different—it has no lock-on targeting, allowing evasion of skills and damage through movement and blocking.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Baici dares to challenge Rakaze; otherwise, with Rakaze’s two quick chops, if he can’t dodge, he can only block, and Lin Baici’s health points would definitely not suffice.

Whoosh!

Rakaze slashes, the battle axe whipping up a gust of wind mixed with the Goblin’s stench, aiming straight for Lin Baici’s head.

Lin Baici blocks.

Clang!

A tremendous force hits, instantly knocking aside the longsword.

Whoosh!

Rakaze strikes again.

Lin Baici hastily retreats.

His Strength attribute being too low to withstand Rakaze’s axe; if this continues, his arms will either weaken or his longsword will be knocked away.

Rakaze charges forward,

Slashing Strike!

Hum!

A dark red glow illuminates the blade of the one-handed battle axe, which then swiftly chops at Lin Baici’s head.

Lin Baici sees it coming, but with insufficient Agility to dodge in time, he can only tilt his head slightly.

Whoosh!

The battle axe hits Lin Baici’s shoulder, then slides down his chest, leaving a red-glowing wound.

Sizzle!

Blood spurts out.

An intense pain assails him.

"Ahh!"

The little girl bound hand and foot screams in fear at the sight.

Flap flap flap!

The birds in the forest scatter in fright.

"Damn it, does it have to be so realistic?"

Lin Baici continues to retreat.

The pain makes him gasp; a regular person who’s never been chopped in real life would probably be writhing on the ground in agony after such a blow.

And that spraying blood is quite terrifying, though it’s actually just a special effect.

Lin Baici checks his health bar, which has dropped by half.

Rakaze pursues him, swinging the axe down and then flipping his wrist to execute a horizontal chop

Horizontal Slash!

Whoosh!

The axe, glowing with dark red light, covers a 120-degree area in front of Rakaze.

Luckily, Lin Baici had moved back early, narrowly avoiding the blow, and in the instant after Rakaze’s axe finished its sweep, he thrusts forward, striking back.

To the death!

Mortal Strike!

Whoosh!

The greatsword hits Rakaze’s shoulder, leaving a wound.

Health drops by one-tenth.

Seeing this number, Lin Baici breathes a sigh of relief. Good, ten hits should do it, he can manage.

The DEBUFF from the Mortal Strike, that is the negative magic, takes effect, reducing Rakaze’s attributes by 10%, health not included.

Rakaze’s attack movements are immediately a shade slower.

With just that slight delay, the danger Lin Baici faces drops drastically, and he is now able to evade Rakaze’s attacks.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lin Baici seizes the opportunity, launching assaults precisely at the moments after Rakaze’s skills have been executed.

One strike!

Two strikes!

Three strikes!

Lin Baici’s mindset is steady, not rushing to succeed but gradually whittling down Rakaze’s health.

He also notices that the Mortal Strike has a duration of ten seconds and can stack up to three times without resetting the DEBUFF’s duration on each application.

This means, if Lin Baici lands three quick hits, maxing out the DEBUFF on the monster, he has only about six or seven seconds to take advantage of the 30% reduced attributes.

While that didn’t seem like a short time, keep in mind that monsters can dodge and block, so in theory, Lin Baici’s actual benefit from the 30% debuff is very brief.

Moreover, it’s not necessary to fully stack the DEBUFF against ordinary monsters, and when fighting elite monsters, why not exploit the duration of the Mortal Strike to execute other, more powerful skills?

This leads to the issue of skill selection.

Mortal Strike is a DEBUFF skill. Its damage is mediocre, dealing only 50% more damage than Lin Baici’s regular unskilled blows.

Lin Baici and Rakaze lock in combat.

In the forest by the stream, the sound of metal clashing rings out.

The little girl, about six or seven, watches with wide eyes, hardly daring to breathe.

It feels like,

It seems like,

He could win!

That handsome big brother, although on the defensive, makes every counterattack count, striking the Goblin more times.

As its health steadily decreases, Rakaze grows increasingly anxious, desperate to score a killing blow on Lin Baici.

So, without waiting for the right opportunity, Rakaze still unleashes the Slashing Strike.

"Naive!"

Lin Baici easily dodges and strikes back with a sword, hitting Rakaze’s neck.

Whoosh!

The longsword embeds into Rakaze’s neck.

The Goblin warrior swiftly tilts his head, trapping the longsword, then punches the blade.

Skill Disarm!

Thud!

The greatsword shatters into sparks, vanishing from Lin Baici’s grip.

[The Disarm skill can forcibly remove your weapon!]

Eater God comments.

"Crap!"

Lin Baici is shocked, is that even possible?

Rakaze won’t give him a chance, swinging the axe down at him.

Lin Baici raises his left hand, blocking with the buckler on his forearm.

Thud!

If Rakaze’s attributes hadn’t been weakened, that blow would have sent Lin Baici flying.

Weaponless, won’t he be chopped to death?

So, Lin Baici instead rushes towards Rakaze, using the buckler like a brick, smashing it into the monster’s head.
