Chapter 388: I lose if I fall

“This sword is so huge. How should I swing it?” While controlling Dante, Mo Xian held the broadsword ‘Rebellion’ with both hands and felt uncomfortable.

“Haya!” With a roar, she hacked the big sword forward but saw the small demon moving to the side weirdly.

The sword blade missed it by one inch, and it was intact.

Meanwhile, the other small demons surrounded her.

Seeing that a demon pounced at her with a sickle, Mo Xian copied the shop owner and spun the two guns in her hands very elegantly…

But they flew out and hit the demon in the face.

After the demon with the sickle was hit on the face by the guns, it roared and hacked the sickle toward Mo Xian’s head at a greater speed.

“Ahhhhh!” She hacked wildly with her sword.

“…”

It was clear that the Xichi Spiritual Master and the other cultivators were not doing any better. Although they could learn the basic sword techniques and shooting techniques that came with Dante while controlling him, the small demons’ damage, speed, and intelligence were not as low as those in the original version of the game. Even the residents in Hell, the lowest-level monsters, had cunning minds and high intelligence as well as battle abilities that ordinary people couldn’t match.

“Sir, how come this game is so difficult to play?!” Ruan Ning yelled already; she had just died at the entrance of Dante’s shop before meeting the Boss.

Mr. Fang said in contempt, “You are controlling the son of the legendary Dark Knight Sparda and got killed by some minions; you dare to tell me that the game is hard to play? You are just a noob.”

Ruan Ning’s face turned dark. “Scummy Shop Owner.”

“Should we follow Dante’s instincts and will and use the sword techniques accordingly?” a lazy voice sounded. On Ning Bi’s screen, she was battling with the Hell Vanguard.

“Of course,” Mr. Fang said, “If you don’t know the sword techniques and want to control the character with your own ideas to show-off, it’s natural that you will get killed by small demons.”

Then, he casually rolled his eyes at Ruan Ning and said, “Look at how smart she is.”

“…”

Obviously, the warriors in the Jiuhua City Shop didn’t have the same problem. Even Song Qingfeng and the others who didn’t have high cultivation strengths learned techniques and experiences from Dante’s moves; they could easily deal with these small demons.

“Ugh?!” While sipping milk tea, Ling Wanyin was watching the game from behind. “Daoist Brother Li, look at this guy! He’s so powerful! Is he a warrior as well?!”

On the screen, Nalan Hongwu controlled his character with ease while he swung the big sword with whistling sounds; he was so fast that his movements were a blur to others.

He watched all directions and heard all the sounds. When the Hell Vanguard silently appeared behind him, he turned abruptly while the sword vanished, leaving sword energies surging around. With the powerful demonic body and surging demonic energy, he could launch swift and heavy sword strikes at any moment. “Hahahaha! My swordsmanship is awesome, eh?”

He asked as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

The moment he said it, the Hell Vanguard god blocked Dante’s attack with its sickle, and the huge counterforce to this heavy hack send Nalan Hongwu stumbling back. Before he could regain his balance, the sickle hacked down at his head.

“Ahh! Damn it…” His face was covered in blood.

The two people who watched the game from behind froze.

After hearing Xiao Yulv’s brief explanations, they had barely understood what games were. They said in horror, “Are these warriors fighting with these horrifying monsters each day?”

Looking at the Hell Vanguard which floated around from left to right like a ghost on the screens, Ling Wanyin said, “Daoist Brother Li, look! Many of them are playing this game!”

“Should we… try this game later?”

In the Mr. Fang’s Group Tour chat on QQ, a new topic was brought up today.

Black Demon: [Anyone playing Devil May Cry 3? Where are you now?]

Tang Yuan: [I hate to say it, but this game is so hard to play. I haven’t gotten out of the shop yet.]

Song Qingfeng: [(Akita Inu’s cunning smile) I’m fighting the Hell Vanguard.]

Nalan Mingxue: [The Hell Vanguard is hard to fight.]

At this moment, Nalan Hongwu wiped the blood off his face and laughed, reporting in the group, [I’ve killed the Hell Vanguard! Anyone faster than me?!]

“…”

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang was about to arrive at the gate guarded by Cerberus, the three-headed hell dog, without a word, but his movements and controls were a little strange.

Mr. Fang swung his sword upward and knocked up a huge monster that was holding a sickle.

This monster was obviously much stronger than the previous small demons. It had thicker skin and more HP, and it also moved faster and could teleport.

After slashing it into the sky, Mr. Fang murmured, “Drop hack… shoot… drop hack again… it should be like this, right?”

“How come I can’t connect the moves?”

Since all the virtual reality games followed the laws of the physics of the real world, the scenes in the original game where the monsters didn’t move after their bodies were pierced by various weapons would not appear in the remake version.

However, Mr. Fang was clearly undaunted.

While controlling Dante, Mr. Fang swung the big sword so swiftly that it became a blurry shadow. He hacked downward once before doing it again, and it seemed like two lightning bolts crashed down.

“In the new version, I have to drop hack twice with power to subdue the demon with my force, and I can then knock it into the air…” After his hypothesis was proven, he leaped up and hacked onto the demon in mid-air.

“Hack… and shoot…” After two strikes, Mr. Fang quickly landed.

“Ugh? I can’t do it…” In the original game, Mr. Fang could use the double-handed sword so well that he could make flowers out of it. But when everything followed the laws of physics, the moves that he used in the original version were no longer effective in the new version.

“Wait…” Mr. Fang thought about this problem while moving to the side to dodge another monster’s blade strike. My pause in mid-air wasn’t done right. Swift and powerful sword strikes can open the monsters’ bodies without causing too much momentum, but they will still fall to the ground. Also, the monsters of Hell have tough bones. There is no way that I can cut through their bodies without sending them flying…

The only solution is to strike its joints that are only connected by demonic energy,Fang Qi thought, Meanwhile, Dante can stay in the air a bit longer with the recoil force of firing the guns… Different from the original version, I must fire vertically down on the ground to obtain the largest upward momentum and achieve the longest pause in mid-air for Dante.

If the bullets are shot toward the ground, it would be best if they could bounce back and shoot the demons that I’m attacking to give them an upward momentum…

“I got it!”

Then, Mr. Fang controlled Dante to attack another demon.

With perfect timing, he launched two swift and heavy strikes and then knocked the monster up with his sword.

Then, Mr. Fang’s character moved so fast that it looked like Dante was twitching in mid-air. He was striking with his sword and firing his guns so fast that only afterimages and vague shadows could be seen on the screen.

At this moment, some nimble and clever players had killed the Hell Vanguard and passed the stage.

– In the chat group –

Song Qingfeng posted a screenshot. [I’m awesome! I killed the Hell Vanguard already!]

[It’s nothing. I did it long ago!]

Ning Bi also posted a screenshot. [I did it too!]

[I look up to you guys!]

[Advanced players!]

[Awesome!]

[Smooth!]

At this moment, someone yelled in astonishment in the internet café, “F*ck! How come the monster that the shop owner is fighting is not dropping to the ground!?”
