Chapter 0004: Fortunately, the protagonist is not me

Hearing Captain Ramford's shout, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, rolled over to stand up, and raised Frostmourne in his hand to confront the undead once more

In fact, as its name suggests, this is a dark world, filled with death and destruction, and one that can never be redeemed. The struggles of humanity yield only a fleeting peace, but this period will soon be ruthlessly shattered. Just as the sun will eventually rise and the ice and snow will inevitably melt.

I understand

Upon hearing the words of the militia member, Fang Zheng said nothing further and hurriedly stood up to follow the militia member out of the hotel. At this moment, the rain had stopped, and one could see a few people around, albeit with a tense and anxious demeanor. However, Fang Zheng was not in the mood to concern himself with these individuals. He arrived at the entrance, where he saw Captain Ramford had changed into a different outfit and was currently directing other militia members in the construction of roadblocks. Upon seeing Fang Zheng, Ramford immediately waved his hand.

At the moment those undead stepped into the attack zone, Ramford let out a roar, raising his longsword to strike at the undead. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, gripping the hilt of Frostmourne tightly, and swung down forcefully at the undead before him

Only after the last undead fell to the ground did Fang Zheng wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead. At the same time, he could see wisps of white gas, resembling mist, rising from the bodies of those undead. They intertwined and transformed into shapes resembling human faces, which were then drawn into the blade of Frostmourne as if attracted by a magnet. Meanwhile, lines of system prompts appeared before Fang Zheng's eyes. Then, as if drawn by a magnet, they were absorbed into the blade of Frostmourne. At the same time, lines of system prompts appeared before Fang Zheng's eyes.

If I were to describe it in one word, it would be - hard

Seeing the undead fall, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then hurriedly picked up his weapon and ran towards the other undead.

The task has finally arrived

After all, it is better to be cautious in everything

Call ... ...

However, this time Fang Zheng was clever; he did not confront the undead head-on. Fang Zheng had already discovered that while the undead in the dark world possessed great strength and high defense, their speed was a significant weakness. Therefore, he did not rush to attack immediately, but instead allowed the undead to strike first. Then, as the undead raised its hands, Fang Zheng swiftly drew his sword and severed its arms.

[Scene Task Trigger: Guardian]

Frost Strike

Diablo – Fangzheng is certainly familiar with this series, with its magnificent magic, sinister visuals and settings, combined with endless grinding, which forms the impression most players have of this world. However, any player who has delved deeply into this world will be well aware that this world... is merely superficial enjoyment.

At this moment, Captain Ramford and the other militia were merely entangled with these undead. Fang Zheng took a glance and immediately understood why they were unable to defeat the undead.

This guy is so tough

Before Ramford could finish his sentence, Fang Zheng saw the roadblock on the right side shatter with a loud "bang". Following that, several undead slowly walked in, their eyes glowing as they staggered toward the main gate. Upon witnessing this scene, the other militia members immediately became tense. They gripped their weapons tightly, not daring to breathe as they stared at the monsters before them

Fang Zheng is wielding Frostmourne, yet even with this, it is quite laborious to cut down these undead. The weapons in the hands of these individuals are merely the most standard issue, making them even less effective. Fang Zheng personally witnessed Captain Ramford swing his sword at the undead, striking four or five times before managing to inflict a few wounds, as if he were chiseling on a stone slab.

Such a misfortunate protagonist aura, whoever wants it can have it, as Fang Zheng is politely declining.

Although the zombie moved slowly, it was not an easy target. It let out a low growl and then reached out with both hands towards Fang Zheng. In a hurry, Fang Zheng withdrew his longsword and positioned it in front of himself. However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that as the zombie's claws struck Frostmourne, he felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and then Fang Zheng was unexpectedly sent flying!

Apart from their slow speed, these bastards have no weaknesses at all

In the game, Nai Fei Tian Yi Jian, Fang Zheng initially thought that these undead were soft persimmons that could be easily squeezed. However, it turns out that while they may not be as bizarre as the mutated zombies in Resident Evil, their hardness and strength are undoubtedly at the tyrant level

Although the speed of those undead was quite slow, their purpose was remarkably clear, as they walked straight towards the entrance. At this moment, even Fang Zheng was gripping his longsword tightly, swallowing hard, and feeling his heart begin to race. This could be considered the first serious battle he had encountered since arriving in this other world, and he was uncertain about what he could achieve.

Where would there be such hard corpses

It is precisely for this reason that, after understanding this world, Fang Zheng's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief...! ... Fortunately, the protagonist is not me

Until this sword struck down, Fang Zheng was instantly dumbfounded. He finally understood why a group of living dead, who walked slower than an old grandmother, could make an old warrior like Ramford feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Do not be misled by the fact that in the game, the protagonists are invincible, defeating gods and Buddhas alike; in reality, throughout the three generations of the Dark series, very few protagonists meet a good end

If he remembers correctly, he should have crossed over into the third installment of Diablo, and the current plot is at the opening part, where a meteor falls from the sky and strikes the Tristram Church... Leah, the granddaughter of Deckard Cain, gathers the militia in an attempt to find her grandfather, and at that moment, the protagonist, the Nephalem, makes a dazzling entrance, thus embarking on an irreversible path... Hmm, an irreversible path. Leah, the granddaughter of Deckard Cain, gathers the militia in an attempt to find her grandfather, and at that moment, the protagonist, the Nephalem, makes a dazzling entrance, thus embarking on an irreversible path... Hmm, an irreversible path

Progress one of the scenario task "Guardian" has been completed

However, how should one choose this

Doubtful as he was, Fang Zheng also focused his mind and vigilantly observed the living dead before him. He was well aware that he had just arrived in this world and his understanding of it was certainly not on par with that of the seasoned scholars of Ramford. Since the other party was so tense, he naturally would not let his guard down.

Although Frostmourne in Fangzheng's hand cannot activate the Soulstone and most of its special abilities are unusable, it is still considered an exceptional sword in its own right. Previously, when Fangzheng was dealing with those Silver Knights, Frostmourne sliced through their armor as effortlessly as cutting through butter. However, when Fangzheng struck the undead with this sword, it felt as if he was hitting a tire! He could only feel that Frostmourne had merely penetrated the muscle and then got stuck!

Weapons are not acceptable

The dark and malevolent forces have descended, the flame of civilization flickers like a candle in the wind, the trial of the apocalypse is imminent, and all you can do is accept the challenge and confront the pitch-black future (withstand the onslaught of the undead, safeguard the town's safety, mission success grants skill +1, dimensional points +1)

Knock knock knock ... ... ! ! ''

Just as Fang Zheng finished drinking the meat soup, a sudden sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and then a militia member rushed into the inn

This time, Frostmourne finally demonstrated its artifact power. Although the arm of this undead creature was equally tough, it was completely severed under Fang Zheng's full-force strike. Without its hands, the undead resembled a toothless tiger, still swaying its head, intending to launch another attack on Fang Zheng. However, this time Fang Zheng had learned his lesson and directly severed its head with a single sword strike. The undead shook a few times and then fell to the ground, silent.

Just as Fang Zheng was absorbing the power of the soul, the system notification sound rang in his ears once again, followed by another line of text appearing before Fang Zheng's eyes

Roar

Seeing the system prompt before him, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had previously been worried about how to complete the task of Frostmourne, but now it seemed that completing the task was no longer a challenge.

User receives skill rewards

Fang Zheng! Quickly stand up, do not let them surround you!

Although Fangzheng can still activate the Lich King's Soulstone four more times, he certainly will not do so at this moment—after all, the undead are merely low-level monsters in the dark world. Is he really going to use this to deal with the Lich King? That would be like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito

In the first installment of Diablo, the three protagonists face dire fates. The warrior inserts the Soulstone of the Prime Evil into his own head, attempting to suppress the evil soul of Diablo with his formidable will. Inevitably, he is corrupted by Diablo, falls from grace, and ultimately becomes a tool for Diablo's resurrection. The other two protagonists fare no better; they either transform into evil spirits after death or succumb to the corrupting influence of malevolent will, eventually becoming bosses themselves, only to be defeated by the protagonists of the second installment. Naturally, the successors also meet grim ends. The notion of slaying the demon king and returning home to marry the princess is nothing more than a pipe dream; these individuals either go missing or are killed.

Captain Ramford

Oh!

"Fangzheng! Governor Ramford requests that you proceed to the main gate immediately! Those damned undead have appeared again! We must stop them!"

Upon realizing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but pat his head, secretly lamenting his own foolishness. The soul stone he was currently embedded with was that of Arthas, who, before becoming the Lich King, was a paladin, wasn't he

Hearing Fang Zheng's call, Ramford glanced at him. Upon seeing the undead lying at Fang Zheng's feet, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded at Fang Zheng. At the same time, he stepped forward and swung his longsword to distract the undead in front of him. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng took advantage of Ramford's diversion to approach the undead from behind and, with a swift stroke of his sword, severed the head of the undead.

The militia, being experienced, naturally took on the role of MT without hesitation upon seeing the weapons in Fang Zheng's hands that could deal with the undead. With the cooperation of both sides, it did not take long for this group of undead to be completely wiped out.

Hurry, Fangzheng, come help us. We just repelled a wave of undead attacks, they... damn it!

Seeing the task before him, Fang Zheng also drew out his Frostmourne. However, observing the tense demeanor of others as if facing a formidable enemy, he felt somewhat puzzled. Fang Zheng's understanding of this world was limited to the game, its plot, and its settings. As for the strength of the monsters within this game, he was not particularly knowledgeable. However, in Fang Zheng's view, these undead did not seem to pose any special threat; they moved very slowly and did not mutate or evolve like the zombies in worlds such as Resident Evil. If they were elite bosses with auras, they might present some danger. Yet, these staggering undead, was it really necessary for a battle-hardened warrior like Ramford to be so tense?

Soul Power + 10... Soul Power + 13... Soul Power + 12...

In other worlds, the protagonist's halo is a means of survival, but in this world, the protagonist's halo is a matter of life and death

Meanwhile, a system notification sound of "ding" echoed in Fang Zheng's ear, followed by a line of information appearing before his eyes

However, what surprised Fang Zheng was not limited to just this

Fang Zheng crashed into the door behind him, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart. He finally understood why this group of seemingly staggering, slow-moving zombies, who could barely crawl faster than a turtle, were able to completely annihilate a militia squad

Choose

Although Fangzheng does not remember the plot of this story very clearly, he believes that this unfortunate Nephilim will definitely face dire consequences in the future. Even if he defeats the big boss, what difference does it make? After all, this world harbors a strong malice towards the protagonist. Either he will be killed by an assassin sent by an old friend, or he will suffer a fatal injury due to uncontrolled magic, ... or he might be corrupted and fall into darkness under the influence of evil forces, ultimately becoming a boss that provides equipment to the next generation of protagonists...

There is finally a way after all

Moreover, it is a world that is very unfriendly to the protagonist

I can't believe it

Up

Bang

Looking at the prompt before him, Fang Zheng was taken aback. Aren't these two skills the abilities of the Death Knight and Paladin from the Mountain Mouth Mountain? He could understand the Death Knight, but what on earth is a Paladin?
