Fortuitous Encounter.
It's a type of spontaneous quest.
Triggered by a random event in the game.
Like bandits attacking a village or a child being attacked by wolves in the forest.
If a player is nearby, it will be activated.
No One hurriedly made his way to the source of the explosion.
It wasn't too far from the square, so others would likely arrive soon.
Immediately, he saw a familiar figure clad in black armor.
【Lv.100 Clone of Unholda Kaiser】
No One swallowed hard.
It was a clone of the person he had encountered at the gate of Lucas Territory.
In its hand was a large, jet-black sword, piercing through a woman's abdomen.
On the ground, Thomas was shedding tears nonstop.
"Mom...! Mom...!!!!"
"M-mister...! I have money here, take it, just spare my mom...!"
The child's face was streaming with tears.
The clone merely brushed him aside.
The coins No One had just given to the child scattered on the ground.
Then it withdrew the sword.
The woman's body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
The child continued to cry, pushing at his mother's body.
"Mom...!"
"Mom...!!!"
No One looked at the scene and felt a pang of sorrow.
NPCs cannot be killed by players under normal conditions.
But an NPC can kill another NPC.
That mother, she must really be dead.
No One gripped his dual blades tightly.
The clone was now considered a monster, its name displayed in red.
【Warning: Attacking the Clone of Unholda Kaiser will greatly decrease your favorability with that NPC.】
KLANG.
No One leapt forward, striking with his dual blades, but the clone blocked the attack.
Nonsense.
Like I care about your favorability.
The clone looked at No One.
"The hero of the Sea of Flames. Since when do you interfere in matters that aren't your concern?"
No One continued to slash with his blades fiercely.
"So, you think killing people is right?"
"For the greater good," the clone responded while parrying the attacks.
No One kept up his assault.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
The child could only hold onto his mother's lifeless body, bewilderedly watching No One.
No One glanced at the NPC who had taken the stab.
She still had a bit of life left, but it was rapidly draining away.
She's about to die.
【Song of the Soldier's Protection】
A shield enveloped the mother and child.At the same time, he dropped the basket of flower petals next to the child.
"Kid! Run to the square! Ask a Priest for help! Hurry! She can still be saved!"
"Take this basket of flowers, and give it to whoever helps with the healing!!!"
Startled, the child immediately clenched his teeth and carried his mother's body away.
"Mom... hold on!! I'll find someone to help you!!"
The clone, naturally aware, swung its sword at No One.
Intending to finish him with one strike.
CLANG.
The sword was immediately deflected back.
Nothing could be easier than parry a mere monster for me.
Even though the clone of Unholda Kaiser was high-level, it was just at the creep.
Not even an Elite.
The clone seemed enraged, as a dark aura erupted from its body.
Its life force was being consumed.
It must be a skill that sacrifices life force to increase power.
It no longer used the sword, instead directly attacking with a hand that had turned into claws.
No One was momentarily caught off guard, but the Peerless Dancer's Blessing effect activated, allowing him to dodge one hit.
On the second strike, No One managed to counter, but the claws went right through, dealing direct damage to him
Parry Piercing ?
No One stepped back.
Quickly opened the friends interface.
I can't defeat you, but I know someone who definitely can!
【You have invited Heavenly Demon In Black to teleport to your side.】
"Master! Please help your disciple!!!"
【Heavenly Demon In Black has declined.】
"What?"
No One was stunned.
【You have invited Heavenly Demon In Black to teleport to your side.】
【Heavenly Demon In Black has declined.】
【You have invited Heavenly Demon In Black to teleport to your side.】
【Heavenly Demon In Black has declined.】
...
...
【You have invited too many times.】
What?
Master?
It's been days, haven't you finished your conversation with Immortal Blade?
Come on!!!"I am your favorite disciple!!!! Save me!!!"
The Clone had been watching to see what No One would do and now continued its attack.
No One hurriedly dodged.
"Damn it!"
Now the only option was to stall for time, waiting for more players to arrive from the square.
Or the guards from Aeterfloris.
"Are you waiting for the people from afar to come?"
The Clone made a sound.
"Sorry to disappoint, but they won't be able to."
"I have soundproofed this area, so no one will come to help."
No One was startled.
That guy knew his intentions.
"Hmph."
"Then let's see how many hits you can endure from me."
The Clone's health was down to 60%.
The dark aura seemed to rapidly deplete the health.
Stalling for time until it dies on its own, could that work?
"I have no more time to play with you, I need to quickly finish this and go kill that woman."
The Clone charged in, claws swiping at No One.
【Protection of Nature】
A shield blocked the attack before shattering.
That skill...
"Are you okay?" Snow Moon rushed over.
She had been in the square trading items with NPC Alchemist Aether when she saw a kid dragging their mother's body to the square.
After barely saving the mother, the kid said someone was still fighting the one who harmed her.
Unexpectedly, that person was No One.
No One grinned.
"Good buff! Keep buffing me!"
"Okay!" Snow Moon began chanting more spells.
Seeing the situation change, the Clone immediately lunged toward Snow Moon.
It understood well enough that it needed to eliminate the support first.
No One tried to block but wasn't fast enough.
【Forest Of Thousand Wonders】
Snow Moon's body took on a translucent green color.
The Clone passed right through her.
【Vine Shackles】
【Summon: Great Demon Tree】
Countless vine shackles, also a translucent green, wrapped around the Clone.
Then a demon tree grew from the ground, as tall as a pine tree, using its branches to attack the Clone.
No One was stunned.
So that's how it is.
In the Forest Of Thousand Wonders state, she couldn't deal damage herself.
But she could still use skills that, while not causing damage, could control and restrain!
And summoning skills could still inflict damage.
This skill was designed for the Divine Druid, giving an intentional advantage when used on the Divine Druid herself.
No One swung the blade.
【First Move of the Blade Dancer: Sever The Sun And Moon】
Damage exploded out.
The Clone’s health was down to 35%.
"You insignificant ants."
The aura burst forth once again.
"You think you can kill me?"
His health dropped directly to 20%.
Then he used his claws himself.
Stabbing into his own neck.
Health stayed at 20%.
At this point, a buff appeared on the Clone's health bar.
【Blessing of the Demon King】
【Health cannot drop below 20% due to damage.】
"Damn it."
This is a major bug ! Dev !? where you at !?
"Snow Moon, this skill should have a time limit before it deactivates! Stall it for some time!"
"There isn't one!" Snow Moon immediately replied.
"What?"
"This skill has no time limit! It will last forever!"
She knew this because she had previously tested fighting against the Clone.
The Clone wasn't supposed to appear in the Storyline for a long time.
Everything is a complete mess now!
Snow Moon gritted her teeth.
This Clone was meant to be killed by the Hero!
The Hero's weapon would have an effect to remove this effect from the Demon King!
Currently, it's invincible!
"I'll restrain it, you run away!"
