Chapter 666: Chapter 208: When you think you’re facing a weak enemy, but suddenly the boss battle BGM starts playing... _4

I really like the design concept of this section,

"Well, overall, the good outweighs the bad. Let’s not talk too much and just take this guy down," Czcu said spiritedly, closing in on the opposite side while quickly glancing at the barrage of comments.

The viewers seemed to recognize the guy coming towards them at a slow pace, even calling him something like Furnace Knight.

Perhaps they had learned about him from other streamers who had a different progress in the game.

And on the public screen, they unceasingly typed out barrages like ’run!’ ’A boss ahead,’ ’Run, don’t look back!’ and ’F*ck!’

"Is it necessary?" Facing the commotion in the barrage, Czcu dismissively curled his lip.

"This looks like, at worst, an Elite Monster of the Lost Knight Helmet level. The only difference is the armor’s appearance—one is black and the other is brownish-red, that’s all."

"But to the current me, the Lost Knight Helmet is just a piece of cake. Viewers, please hold back a bit, I’m not like those other entertainment streamers. Just watch my gameplay and it’s done!"

"Moreover, let me teach you a method to judge if the opponent is strong or not." Czcu had already walked up to the so-called Furnace Knight, stopped and lifted his shield to lock on to him, saying,

"Do you see the health bar above his head? If it’s a boss level, the health bar UI would appear at the bottom of the screen in a long strip, if it’s an Elite Monster level, the health bar would..."

Before he could finish.

Czcu’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply several times!

And his speech cut off abruptly!

Because.

A majestic, hefty, and epic orchestral symphony suddenly sounded beside his ear...

"Wait..." Czcu instinctively twitched his eye corner, and his stomach started to hurt.

Wait a minute!

Isn’t this BGM exclusive to boss battles?

Czcu, having been killed countless times by the Big Tree Guardian and smashed to death by the Omen, was all too familiar with this BGM by now.

Although these BGMs are not exactly the same, the grandeur and epicness are unmistakable—just one listen and you know it’s a boss battle.

But...

This little guy in front of me, without a boss health bar.

Is paired with a boss-level BGM...

What the hell?

Of course.

There was no time left for Czcu to ponder what this truly meant.

The opponent had already made a move!

The sharp, long horn on the shield was forcefully thrust forward!

"Clang!"

It directly struck the Fading One’s shield, instantly draining Czcu’s entire stamina bar!

The Fading One’s shield was also flipped open, and he stumbled backward.

"WTF?" Czcu’s pupils widened.

"One hit directly drained my stamina bar?"

"This motherf*cker... Even the Big Tree Guardian can’t wipe out my stamina bar with one punch, and he can? He’s more badass than the Big Tree Guardian?"

And the next second, another chilling attack swiftly followed!

After causing the player to stiffen, the Furnace Knight raised the plain-looking greatsword in his hand.

He striked downwards!

Czcu was startled, barely regaining a sliver of stamina, and frantically mashed the roll button.

But when he rolled to his feet, he realized.

Damn! I’ve been baited!

The opponent’s sword technique was a delay blade!

The apparent attack was just the preparatory movement.

By the time the player stood up, the opponent’s true slash landed solidly on them.

The heavy sword was clumsy, but masterfully so!

One blow took away half of Czcu’s health!

Seeing this outrageous damage almost made Czcu’s eyes pop out.

But the opponent’s attack rhythm was very tight.

Instantly after one sword fell, he swiftly turned around and, with the speed of lightning, the greatsword circled halfway back in a slash!

Spin cut!

Czcu was under maximum pressure, his hands beginning to sweat, and the sight of the incoming attack made him subconsciously mash the roll button.

But damn it...

I was tricked again!

This strike was also a delay blade!

Czcu just got to his feet and was solidly hit by another strike.

So-called delay blades, laid out straight!

Czcu, with a full stamina bar and full health, was taken out by the Furnace Knight’s combo in the span of just a few seconds!

Looking at the greyed-out screen, Czcu went completely dumbstruck, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a fist, his gaze fixedly staring at the screen, even his voice trembling.

"W... W... WTF???"

"I mean, what the hell..."

What are you doing, top player?

Is this motherfucker an Elite Monster?

Doesn’t its strength deserve a BOSS health bar??

And the most disgusting thing about it is.

This asshole seems only to use delay blade.

It particularly likes to pause before striking, then chop!

Plus, it’s got all sorts of flashy moves before the slash, so precise and deliberate.

Just to intimidate players!

But players always get suckered by its precision.

Seeing its fierce attack wind-up, they naturally roll in anticipation.

Then they rise just in time to take a full hit from the delay blade!

For someone like Czcu, who loves rolling around with abandon, facing the Furnace Knight’s delay blade is nothing short of a nightmare...

But though Czcu died in battle, the entertainment value was through the roof.

His exaggerated expression had the viewers dying of laughter.

The chat was flooded with layers upon layers of comments.

"hahahahahaha!"

"Told you to just run away, you wouldn’t believe the curse, huh?"

"Impressive, main host, ignoring the advice of viewers now, that’s some nerve, roar."

"That’s some thick skull!"

"Furnace Knight: This kid loves to roll, watch me Accumulated Turn Vibration and then follow up with a horizontal A to take him out!"

"With those delay moves, if it ain’t Blue Top giving Furnace Knight a pwn, I don’t buy it! /Pout/Pout"

"Gamble failed, suggest making amends with big bro Furnace Knight!"

"I wanna hear the host say ’I’m not like other entertainment streamers’ again—sugar-coated love!"

As one of Twitch’s top game streamers, Czcu had viewers from all over the world.

Although some of the comments turned into a strange mess after machine translation, and he couldn’t quite understand them.

But he knew, these comments seemed to be full of joy right now...

It’s so disgusting!

No way!

I must bring out the strength of being a top broadcaster!

Show those viewers who mock me the way!

Czcu was instantly determined as he respawned at the Blessing Spot!

Just a moment ago, he was mocking the top player for not being able to "Diorama," creating chaos after entering Stonewell.

But now it seems.

It’s not important anymore!

Although I don’t know where the BOSS is.

I don’t even know where I am.

But knowing where this asshole, the Furnace Knight is, is enough!

The thought process became crystal clear!

So you’re the little prick called Furnace Knight, huh?

Just wait, I’m coming right to your doorstep! I’ll strip off your Furnace Knight helmet, and I must slap your face!

Buddy here can kick down Big Tree Guardians and tear Omen apart with my bare hands!

What Elite Monster? You don’t even have a BOSS health bar, how can I stand this!

Just now, I was careless, I wasn’t on guard.

But coming up.

Watch me, within ten rounds, I’ll have you cut down beneath my feet!

Let me simply say one thing.

The foreign host in the text used the word "show show way."

Then some of the foreign viewers also used some of the internet memes from our country.

It might look a bit out of context, but as I have limited knowledge of foreign English memes and don’t follow foreign streamers too closely, sometimes I have to write it like this to make the comments more interesting, instead of just having them say OMG, sh*t, f*ck.

Also, let me share something interesting.

"Show show way" is a self-coined word from our country, a play on the phonetics of English, meaning to ’collect flavour’, which I think everyone knows.

But this word has recently been officially included in an American dictionary (and even more incredibly, the contributor to this dictionary seems to be a sugar-coated fan, which is fitting).

Continuing with the words of the author—
