Chapter 85: Furious Mutual One-Shotting

【You have discovered the secret of the Immoral Notebook!】

【Perhaps the contents of this notebook can help you?】

"Good, good, good. There really is a connection."

Yun Mu closed the notebook excitedly; it was worth enduring the Knight's pretentious writing style and the disgusting sycophantic plot for so long.

It finally had some use!

She returned the Immoral Notebook to Lucy, then led the way across the area's border, arriving before the tall Knight.

Combat triggered immediately; Chester, Dabai, and she and Lucy stood in their pre-set positions.

"Halt, intruder!"

The Knight's muffled voice came from beneath his armor; he took the massive cruciform longsword from his waist, inserted it into the ground with the tip pointing down, and rested a pair of hands covered in exquisite gauntlets lightly on the pommel.

【You have encountered an enemy—【Scarlet Knight lv22 (Elite!)】】

Scarlet Knight lv22 (Elite)

Race: Human · Bloodline

Maximum HP: 65

Attack 26, Spell Strength 12, Defense 38, Resilience 6, Dodge 25, Speed 14, Precision Correction 30, Critical Hit 16%

Traits: Scarlet Curse, Swordsmanship, Riding Mastery (gains additional attributes based on the Mount when riding), Armor Mastery (increases Attack, Defense, and Resilience when wearing armor), Broken Oath (a promise made when taking the position of Radiant Knight, now broken), Leader.

Skills: Scarlet Slash, Armored Elbow Strike, Lance Throw, Call Mount, Thrust, Charge, Stomp.】

"Thirty-eight points of Defense, sixty-five points of HP—terrifying," Yun Mu said while looking at the Scarlet Knight's panel.

And that six points of Resilience is equivalent to sixty percent Stun resistance.

It probably isn't realistic for her Mental Shock to stun the opponent.

Fortunately, perhaps because this guy is wearing a suit of Heavy armor, his speed isn't very high, only fourteen points.

The first turn is hers to act.

Nothing much to say; first, release the Black Fog skill of Falling.

"Hmph!"

Looking at the Black Fog around him, the Scarlet Knight let out a muffled grunt, and the eyes beneath his helmet emitted a Scarlet light.

【Effect Resistance!】

【Dodge -15 / Precision Correction -10 / Skill Precision -40】

"Huh?"

"What the heck is Effect Resistance? How come I didn't know such a thing existed?"

Yun Mu looked at the text popping up above the Scarlet Knight's head with a surprised expression.

In the game she designed, there were clearly only two outcomes: immune or hit.

At most, the probability of being hit would increase or decrease.

But this 【Effect Resistance.】

Although it's not as exaggerated as immunity, the effect was still slashed by nearly half.

Designing it this way is reasonable, but...

She is just a player playing the game now; what does it matter to her if it's reasonable? Isn't this just a pure nerf?

"Damn it, Xiaoqie, use the skill 【Lick】 on him!" she said angrily.

"Gaba gaba gaba!"

Hearing Yun Mu's command, Chester immediately flicked out his large tongue and licked the Scarlet Knight's armor.

【-0】

【Effect Resistance!】

【Defense -8!】

"Again?" Yun Mu frowned, though she didn't complain about anything this time.

Eight points of Defense is not a small amount; thirty-eight minus eight is thirty, which is the same as Xiaoqie's Defense.

However, the Scarlet Knight does not have a Neutral magic resistance skill, so the damage caused by her using Mental Shock to attack the opponent must be higher than the damage dealt to Xiaoqie back then.

Next, it was Dabai's turn to act; Yun Mu directly had it use Counterattack Guard on Lucy, protecting her firmly behind it.

【Defense +10】

And only after the three of them finished their actions did it finally become the Scarlet Knight's turn.

He was seen raising the lance in his hand high, and Scarlet-colored Curse runes emerged beneath his feet.

A horse, also clad in thick armor, surged forth from the runes.

【Call Mount】

【Support/Single Target】

【Summon and 【Riding】 your Mount.】

【Riding: Your Speed will be determined by the creature you summon, displacement resistance increases by 20%, damage from skills related to Riding increases by 15%, and non-ranged skills cannot directly attack the main body.】

【Scarlet Knight's Mount lv20 (Elite)

Race: Horse · Bloodline

Maximum HP: 30

Attack 22, Spell Strength 8, Defense 25, Resilience 4, Dodge 15, Speed 22, Precision Correction 20, Critical Hit 3%

Traits: Scarlet Curse, Counterattack (immediately release a skill to Counterattack after being attacked)

Skills: Stomp, Counterattack】

【Tip: The Speed of 【Scarlet Knight lv22 (Elite)】 has increased to 22!】

"Howl!"

After the Scarlet Knight finished releasing his skill, due to the effect of his trait 【Leader】, one Ghost Guard and one Bone-Chopping Priest appeared from the void behind him to join the battle.

And the Scarlet Knight, riding a horse, occupied two unit tiles simultaneously.

"Phew, that's a relief." Looking at the system prompts, Yun Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just that non-ranged skills couldn't attack the main body; she wasn't a melee-focused player anyway, so how could this affect her?

【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation!】

【-7!】

【Scarlet Knight: 58/65】

A new turn began, and because of the Mount's effect, the Scarlet Knight's speed increased to 22, so he acted first.

He pulled on the reins in his hands, exerted force with his legs clamped onto the Mount, and accompanied by the horse's Howl, the Scarlet Knight held a massive lance and initiated a Charge toward Lucy!

【Charge!】

【Melee/Single-Target Damage/Attack Power】

【Range 8】

【Base Accuracy 105/Damage Modifier +80%/Armor Penetration 8】

【Critical Hit +6%】

【Advance 1】

【【Riding: This skill can only be used while Riding.】】

【-33!】

【Dabai: 25/58】

【Counterattack!】

【-0】

Due to the effect of the skill 【Guard】, this strike was ultimately withstood by Dabai.

When she saw the number pop up above Dabai's head, Yun Mu was startled.

What kind of insane damage is this?

You have to know, after releasing 【Counterattack Guard】, Dabai's defense was as high as 26 points, yet this one lance strike directly knocked off more than half of his health.

If not for the Guard skill, if Lucy had been stabbed by that lance, she would likely have entered the Near Death state on the spot!

And after it became Yun Mu's turn.

She thought for a moment and summoned the painting 【Sunset】 from behind her.

Now was not the time to grind skill proficiency; victory was her only requirement.

【Explosive Flame!】

【-34!】

【Burning!】

【-39!】

【-63!】

【-54!】

A massive fireball descended from the sky, and because the Scarlet Knight and his Mount shared two tiles.

Even the three-unit damage 【Explosive Flame】 could hit four enemies at once.

The Mount and the Bone-Chopping Priest died instantly, leaving only the Ghost Guard, whose health was forcibly locked by a trait, and the Scarlet Knight, who had 24 health points remaining.

"Phew, it's a good thing my damage is high too, then it's fine."

Seeing this, Yun Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Next time she challenges a Dungeon, she will absolutely not choose to fight monsters above her level.

The intense mutual one-shotting was too stimulating; she was the type of person who preferred a steady playstyle.

PS: Damn it, I was told the Dungeon content was filler.

It clearly takes me so long to calculate the Dungeon data that I'm going bald; it's much slower than writing normal content.

I am still looking for a moderate way to write it, exploring it gradually.

A writing style that can both avoid skipping information and showcase the match.

It's a bit difficult.

This chapter was updated quite late, my fault.

There might be another chapter tonight.

Or maybe not.
