Thirty-seven Immersion
When playing stand-alone games, Coase is used to flashing his level to higher than the recommended level before continuing to advance the plot. Challenges beyond the level do not exist for him at all.
But I didn't expect to face a vicious pirate who is sixth level higher than me and one more combat skill than me.
Although he was not facing Lakla alone, he still had a little doubt whether the two-man team with Zoro could really pass the "pirate dungeon" in front of him. Judging from the data, they really had no advantage, and now that this situation is officially declared war, it is impossible to gain the lead by sneak attacks.
However, even if he didn't think he had too much chance of winning, Cos didn't intend to retreat. After all, there were still some villagers from Frostmoon Village watching. It was too embarrassing to escape in front of everyone (laugh).
And just like seeing from the data gap between the two sides, it is unlikely that he will win, Coase also judged from the level and number of skills that it would not be too difficult for Koshiro to defeat Lacra.
With Kiyoshiro standing in the rear, Cos can challenge difficult enemies with peace of mind like joining the Fengling Yueying Sect. If you can't beat them, you can "dink them" them... No, you should ask Keyoshiro for help if you can't beat them.
So Cos pulled out Shangfang and faced the pirates side by side with Zoro.
"Don't hold me back!"
A vague sound came from Zoro's mouth where he bit the knife.
"I try my best."
Coase smiled lightly and secretly adjusted his state to face the upcoming battle.
Although both sides are already at odds, no one even seems to be undisciplined in the pirates, because taking action first in such a situation where you cannot be surprised means showing flaws.
But after all, human patience is exhausted. The pirate leader Lakra finally didn't want to continue like this. He waved his hand and ordered: "Please come on for me, young people!"
To be honest, he didn't take a small Frost Moon Village seriously at the beginning. He said kindness, mortgages, etc. at the beginning, just small games that can pass the time and add interesting things.
However, after he reported his name, the reactions of the villagers and Gengshiro made him feel alert, which shows that there is enough power to fight him in Shuangyue Village, or in other words, the villagers think there is enough power to fight him.
So he looked at Zoro and Coase and became a little more alert.
As for Koshiro? In Lakla's opinion, he was a weak rural villager. At most, he could have some model moves and had no power to fight.
He had sneered at Zoro's three-sword flow before, but Zoro's agility to escape just now and the momentum emitted on his body now forced him to pay attention.
Coase, on the other hand, seemed to have not taken him seriously from beginning to end. He was either an idiot who thought too much or he really didn't think he was a threat.
So when he ordered his subordinates to go to the scene, he did not take action. Instead, he took a step back and distanced himself from the two of them, preparing to decide whether to go to the scene or to move strategically depending on the situation.
To put it badly, most of the pirates under Lakla were brainless idiots. They didn't start fighting immediately just now because Lakla's prestige accumulated through violence made them dare not act without hesitation before the captain gave the order.
There is also a rule in Lakla that the one who rushed to the front during a fight can divide more when dividing things, and the backward people will not get any spoils or be executed directly depending on the situation. So after receiving the order, the pirate minions naturally rushed towards Cox and Zoro, and there were also several Koshiro and the villagers who wanted to bypass the two and attack directly behind them.
"You're on your left, I'm on my right!"
Zoro said a word and went straight to meet him, but after he rushed out, Cos hesitated for a moment because he was a little doubtful if he was inseparable from the left and right.
After confirming that it was not his own problem, Coase faced the pirates on the right.
The first pirate he faced was a thin man holding a scimitar, at level 13, without any skills, and it seemed that he was just running a little faster than ordinary people.
Coase went over and waved it with one knife, causing a big hole to be cut in the thin pirate's chest, and blood gushed out of it.
After being hit by Cox, the thin pirate did not react immediately. He raised his knife and swung it at Cox, but was taken first by Cox and punched his chin and flew backwards.
After two moves to subdue the thin pirate, Coase paused, his face slightly subtle.
When he swung that knife at the Skinny Pirate just now, he was in a pseudo-"human sword unity" state, so when the other party was prepared for it, he could still pass the protective attack smoothly. But at the same time, he was about the process of cutting the Skinny Pirate's chest... How do you say it? He felt more immersive.
That was a completely different feeling from when he hit a green-haired non-mainstream pirate on a merchant ship. A similar but not very appropriate metaphor: when he was stabbing people with a knife, Cox used gloves to touch something soft in the box inside; but now he took off his gloves to touch, and the box was opened, and there was a fat twisted maggot inside.
Before learning to feel the knife in your hand, for Coase, the knife is just a weapon, the same weapon as the fist. Moreover, because it does not have direct contact with the attacked person, the feedback brought by slashing people with a knife is not as good as the fist.
But now it’s different. He can feel the whole process of cutting the skin, cutting fat, cutting muscles, and touching bones in his hands, and gaining a deeper understanding of himself hurting others.
Even though he knew that the other party was a pirate who might not be able to repay his sins after ten deaths, the skinny pirate was undoubtedly a kind of Cox, so even though he understood that this was unwise, Cox still couldn't help feeling disgusted and uncomfortable.
"Drink!"
It seemed that it was the first time I realized that this feeling had a great impact on Coase. He actually stopped for a while, until another pirate shouted and waved a knife at him.
Cos instinctively raised his left hand to resist, but at this time, he had not had time to replace the new iron sheet under his clothes for protection, so that the knife actually slashed his left arm.
"Tsk~"
The pain from his hands made Cox subconsciously shocked, and at the same time he also made him completely awake. He took advantage of the joy of the pirate's success and gave him a blow to his neck.
After this angry knife, most of the pirate's neck was cut open, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
This extremely cruel scene temporarily shocked the pirates around Cox, and he also took the opportunity to tear open the sleeve of his left hand and tied the wound to a simple treatment.
The anger caused by the injury to his arm made Cox unable to enter that wonderful state for the time being, but this was just right. He just needed to slash these minions by swaying his knife. Now, there is no need to worry about being affected by that strange feeling.
