Chapter 9

He does not doubt Heather's statement, after all, being able to protect such a large human settlement for such a long time is a strong testament. It is common knowledge that there are no monsters attacking the novice village, but when this so-called common knowledge is applied to the real world, it becomes complete nonsense

What the heck, that slime can't have become a physical embodiment of holiness, can it

He sidestepped to avoid an attack from a dark female knight, but he could not evade the other one no matter what. Pei Chen could only barely dodge the fatal blow, resulting in a deep cut on his right arm, blood gushing out, and his vitality began to decline rapidly

After all, I was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, and now three years have already passed. This is not an important memory, so it has naturally become vague

Pei Chen would naturally not hesitate. After three to five hours of training with Heather, they could barely be said to have developed a certain level of tacit understanding. Similarly, both possessed an agility rating of 15. Although the difference in agility was not significant while the Dark Knight was in perfect condition, that perfect condition certainly did not account for being shot in the knee.

Within his field of vision, he could even see the dilapidated buildings, which were the ruins of a monastery, the very center of the nuns' burial ground in a symbolic sense

With a strength attribute of at least 15 points, when the terrifying power that is more than three times that of an ordinary person is fully unleashed, it is indeed not a difficult task to send an enemy weighing around 100 to 110 pounds flying four to five meters away.

It shouldn't be this outrageous, could it be cheating

Status: Weak and injured

... ...

That might be an item of four stars or above, Pei Chen thought to himself. However, it is quite unfortunate that such an item seems to only appear in the scenes of the second act. The difficulty level of that item is not something that someone of his current capabilities, a mere fifth-rate fighter, can aspire to. Just thinking about it is a luxury.

He is merely speculating about the cultivation levels of those two individuals... ? ... Ahem, I apologize for the interruption, what I meant to ask is, how high is their level of strength, and what star rating should they be classified as?

Numbness, muscle strain, and even possible tearing! Pei Chen's mouth twitched; he had long felt that the disparity between his physical attributes and his strength attributes was a significant issue

How to express dissatisfaction with the other party for not reminding oneself sooner about taking the wrong path

This is clearly just a character of an ordinary monster, yet when you unleash a powerful move, the opponent might even regain health, which undoubtedly makes it the most troublesome. Those who are unaware of the situation may even begin to question their existence.

Ahem, this is not intended to introduce a sophisticated concept like genetic locks, but rather to illustrate the potential inherent in the human body

"Heath, be on guard," Pei Chen instructed as he took out a roll of bandages that looked quite shabby from his storage space

Pei Chen seems to remember that there exists a Horadric Cube in this world, which is a very important item. Its main function is to store items or to combine items. Perhaps Heather treats her storage space as that type of magical item, which could explain the effect.

Heather calmly nodded in agreement with this statement, showing no awareness that Pei Chen was exposing the face of his hometown. Perhaps for her, this understanding was indeed the correct one, although it was quite frustrating

What the heck, how could it be someone wielding a heavy sword! Pei Chen was internally complaining wildly, enduring the pain in his right arm, and raised his short staff to strike down at the splendid head of the dark female knight. The female knight immediately raised her sword to block, but in the next moment, her movement froze for a moment, as she had been struck by an arrow in the knee

By quantifying the body's data and releasing the subconscious protective mechanism of the body's strength, Pei Chen discovered that as long as he was willing, he could fully unleash all of his power

The zombies, struck in the knee, fell to the ground instantly, and then were swiftly dispatched by Pei Chen with a single blow to the head.

Just like a female knight clad in heavy armor, her speed is incomparable to that of the hard-haired rat and the sinking demon ... ? ... What? You say to compare with zombies ... ? What an international joke, those with agility as low as 1 point and at most 3 points, take two hours just to cross a small road ... ...

... ...

You, a legendary mage, cast a forbidden spell on a slime, and not only does it feel no pain, but it also starts to rapidly regenerate health. Who wouldn't feel uneasy in such a situation?

A deeply troubling staff, wielding the strength of a world-class (referring only to a low-magic Earth, please do not take it personally) martial artist, struck the head of a dark female knight, sending her flying (literally) and crashing heavily onto the ground about four to five meters away, unable to rise again

Every one or two years, our Rog camp needs to send brave individuals to scour the surrounding wasteland, not to eliminate, but merely to suppress. However, last year we suffered heavy losses, and even the Blood Ravens became agents of evil, puppets of Andariel, so we have not accomplished much this year

So what if he is a knight? Isn't he just a blonde with a silly hairstyle trying to defy the heavens? Thus, another kill notification sounded.

At the moment the dark female knight fell to the ground, Pei Chen heard the kill notification, gaining 12 survival points. The swift and decisive strike resulted in a one-hit kill, which appeared to be immensely powerful; however, in reality, it could not be sustained. The term 'explosion' indicates that it was merely a burst of power. Could it possibly be like an aura that operates continuously, twenty-four hours a day, all year round?

Ahem, I digress

It is approximately like this

Heather paused for a moment before realizing, and then she felt that this behavior seemed to contain immense malice

Pei Chen understood and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Moreover, with the actions of the Blood Raven in the burial ground of the nuns, stealing corpses and resurrecting the dead, the evil power has grown even stronger, and yet you can only watch?"

What a big surprise, to what extent must a muscle injury occur in order to directly skip a mild injury and reach a moderate injury level

... ...

The potential explosion of humanity itself is immensely powerful; the muscle strength and endurance you can exert far exceed your own imagination. ... Just like an elderly person who, in order to save their grandchild, can single-handedly overturn a small cart ... or a mother who, in order to save her child falling from a building, runs at a speed that surpasses world records ...

Regarding the matter of exposing storage space, Infinite Space has not made any statements, suggesting that this is an accepted situation. Or is it that such permission is only granted in high-magic worlds where mysterious powers exist

However, the reason why it is said that beings like apostles are not human is precisely because of this; even if they are not entirely so, they at least occupy a significant portion.

It should be said that the characters are all at least of a three-star level, right? This reminds me of the star rating mentioned by the gunslinger, who himself is only at a two-star level. Pei Chen silently made a comparison—of course, it was a rather unrigorous one.

Looking at the decaying flesh and rotten bones of those zombies, Pei Chen shook his head vigorously. He could not believe that such a creature could have a constitution above 8 or 9 points. It was maddening; a living person would cry at this sight

Infinite Space is a typical example of prioritizing results over the process, thus the judgment of kills has fallen solely on Pei Chen

How is it possible? After all, Pei Chen has only just become a reserve apostle, barely qualifying to be among the extraordinary, yet there remains a long journey ahead to reach the pinnacle of the extraordinary.

However, Pei Chen did not have time to complain, as his physical constitution was only 7 points, and both the duration of his burst and his stamina limitations did not allow for any delays

It is not surprising; dark creatures can never be completely eradicated. Hearing Pei Chen's confusion, Heather was unconcerned, merely considering him an outsider unfamiliar with the situation. As long as the three demon gods have not been completely extinguished, hell will still exist, and darkness and evil will never cease.

... ...

The dark creatures in the wilderness have indeed increased, especially as one approaches the burial site of the nun, where the density of these minor monsters also rises, exhibiting a clear and visible linear change

"Heather, shoot them in the knees," he whispered, as Pei Chen charged forward with the short staff raised.

It was quite troublesome... With a long sigh, Pei Chen simply took out a short staff, one of the supplies he had recently purchased. Its attributes were also very straightforward, being of the same model that provided a 50% damage bonus against undead creatures.

Could it be a matter of resistance

Pei Chen has figured out this joint, and suddenly feels overwhelmed. He thinks that the most detestable monsters are none other than these, or perhaps those from the Xianjian world, or even more repulsive ones that can rebound or even absorb certain attribute attack damage

In just a brief span of two seconds, he faintly heard what seemed to be the subtle sound of fabric being torn under pressure from within his body, accompanied by a sensation of pain that confirmed to him this was not an illusion

There was simply no time to escape, as five dark female knights charged swiftly towards the two from the small grove, approaching with incredible speed

We actually do have our ways, for instance, Lord Kasha and Lord Akara are quite powerful, but they both need to protect the entire camp and cannot easily go out

As he continued to kill, Pei Chen suddenly realized that this was a good method, as it would essentially eliminate any waste of survival points. This was because Heather would always shoot the enemy in the knee to weaken their mobility, and then Pei Chen would come in to deliver the final blow

However, he would not express it as directly as those high-level extras who serve as narrators, thus avoiding the occurrence of being slapped in the face

However, Pei Chen also seems to have suffered quite a bit, with a decrease of 28 points in vitality. Moreover, due to muscle tears and strains, the status bar, which had been quiet for a long time, has also come out to assert its presence.

However, this kind of power is harmful to the human body. After all, no matter how terrifying strength and agility may be, if one's physique cannot keep up, it is worthless. Just imagine the consequences of throwing a punch and breaking your hand or leg; it would be worse than the Seven Injuries Fist. At least the Seven Injuries Fist can injure others, but you, on the other hand, only injure yourself

Pei Chen grasped the black hair on his forehead and struck down the approaching decaying walker with his staff

In any case, this is the situation. By the time Pei Chen realized it, he found that, encouraged by the visibly gratifying growth of his survival points, he had unknowingly deviated from the original planned endpoint by an unknown margin.

Pei Chen remembers that one of the professions in this world, the Paladin, possesses a skill similar to the Thorn Aura? Or perhaps he is mistaken, and it is from World of Warcraft?

Therefore, in order to protect the vulnerable human body, the subconscious imposes restrictions on this power, serving as a spontaneous protective mechanism

With Heather's assistance, the two consciously distanced themselves from the location of the monastery and sat down to rest beneath a smooth rock the size of a reclining cow

Pei Chen glanced at Heather in silence, his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing and tightened his grip on the short staff as he approached

The state of eruption has ended, and the five Dark Lady Knights have also gloriously perished.

This location should be beyond the sensing range of the Blood Crow... Heather said so, and Pei Chen also agreed. They could no longer see the complex of the monastery, at least separated by a distance of over a hundred meters. If that initial-level BOSS, the Blood Crow, could still sense them, it would be astonishing. In that case, humanity in this world should not even speak of resisting evil and dedicating themselves to the light; they might as well wash up and go to sleep.

Perhaps Heather's lack of curiosity is a good thing She has never been one to ask questions, even when witnessing Pei Chen's miraculous act of remote object retrieval, despite her eyes being filled with curiosity

It seems that the monsters in this world have resistances, and once a certain resistance exceeds 100 points, it reaches the level of immunity. Wow, this setting is quite impressive.
