chapter 10

Brightest Darkness 4's combat system is largely divided into two categories.

Evasion and deflection, which are mostly used when dealing with human-type enemies, and defense and rolling, which are mostly used when dealing with monster-type enemies. Finally, parrying, which is a special counter attack.

Of course, you can use evasion and deflection when dealing with monster-type enemies, and you can use defense and rolling when dealing with human-type enemies. It wasn't something that was specifically forced on you by the system.

It was purely a question of efficiency.

"As expected, Iris has an eye for detail!"

For example, if you used rolling in front of a boss who uses an incredibly fast attack pattern that can go up to 13 consecutive hits like the one you're using now, you'd be hit once during the delay after rolling, become paralyzed, and then get hacked to pieces by the following attacks, which would be perfect for getting knocked out.

The ice-covered twin daggers and the red-bladed sword clashed repeatedly, making a sharp metallic sound. My hands tingled. Much more so than when I had deflected the human butcher's giant bludgeon.

His arms were so thin that they looked like they would break if you hit them, but they were incredibly strong.

As I deflected the last 13th attack, he took a few steps back and immediately showed the next pattern. He lowered his body forward, crossed his arms in front of his head, and rushed forward.

'7 consecutive hits.'

After I figured out what the pattern was, I prepared to receive it too.

The 3rd and 6th attacks were subtly out of sync, and if you got caught up in them and bounced off the anchor, you would die from battle fatigue.

Behind Lize, an icy path was laid out. The path made of ice seemed to hold for a moment, but then exploded, scattering frosty particles. A fog made of frost covered the area.

I parried the swiping twin daggers, being careful not to enter the area covered in frost fog.

Right hand, left hand, right hand again, then two right hand strokes, then one left hand stroke. Finally, draw a diagonal line with the right hand.

I deflected all of the last diagonal strikes, and took advantage of the moment when Lize hesitated to attack from inside. As the sword passed through his arm, a faint wound was carved in that spot, and a few drops of blood flowed out.

'I think it went in properly this time too.'

Even though the knife was stuck in his bare arm while he was defenseless, the only wound left was a shallow gash. It was just a shallow gash that only caused a few drops of blood.

I had hit quite a few enemies before, but they all ended with only light wounds. It seems like the concept of HP in the game is applied in that way.

Lize glanced down at her own arm, which was covered in bruises, and shouted in a joyful voice.

"Yes, that's right! That's right! A man should have that level of determination, right? The more I look at you, the more I like you!"

Then he kicked the ground again and rushed at me. There was obvious pleasure in his expression as he looked at me. It wasn't that he was enjoying the battle itself, but rather his interest and pleasure in me.

I didn't feel anything bad about my arm being cut off. I expected it since I didn't die the way I did in the game anyway.

The figure in front of me leaped into the air. Ice and frost gathered around its body. I held the daggers in my two hands in reverse, turned them so that the tips of the swords were facing downward, and prepared to strike.

This is an attack that cannot be guarded.

I quickly moved away and rolled backwards. Kkwaddeuddeuk! I heard the eerie sound of an ice meteor crashing into the ground right nearby. Even though I rolled over as soon as I saw it, it was still close.

'If it was vanilla, I could have avoided it by walking.'

From the spot where Lize landed, sharp ice picks were sprouting out in all directions. The tips were eerily sharp.

The person who actually created it broke the awl and walked out without a care. Well, it would be comical if he got hurt by the ice he created himself.

The next attack followed immediately. Once while crossing his arms, once while swinging the dagger in his left hand from the lower right to the upper left, and then four consecutive strikes.

He deflected them all and brought his sword up to his chest to block the last attack. Lize pulled one arm back and leveled the dagger horizontally.

It was a stabbing attack that could not be guarded against with weapon defense.

To destroy it, you had to either deflect it at the right time, dodge or roll to avoid it, or raise a shield.

-Chae-Ang!

The method I chose was, of course, bouncing back.

The blue blade, which had grown to the size of a longsword due to the ice that had grown from the sword, met the red blade of the blood-stained sword.

My body couldn't withstand the recoil and was thrown backwards. I barely managed to stop my legs by burying the tip of my sword in the ground. Lize looked surprised, as if she hadn't expected me to deflect this too.

"Wow, you even blocked this? Where did Iris get such a great new recruit?"

Taking advantage of the gap, I shook off the frost stuck to my arm and lightly shook off my tingling grip.

Since the sword wasn't enchanted with ice resistance, even if I deflected it perfectly, the ice gauge would still build up little by little. The key was whether I could finish it off before that.

Although Lize's body had quite a few minor wounds, her HP could not be confirmed, so her stamina could only be estimated.

In the past, when I used to speed run, I would memorize all those little details, but later on, when I focused more on level 1 bare-handed runs than speed runs, I quickly forgot them all.

"Didn't you say you would adjust the strength?"

"No, I tried to let you see it. I tried to let you see it, but what can I do when you block it too well? That's why I keep wondering how far I can take it. Iris and Erica must be thinking the same thing, too."

I glanced back at the two people who were watching our fight from over there.
