Chapter 63: Entering the Battle Rotation

Chapter 63: Entering the Battle Rotation

"Alright, that settles it. I and Tian Dao will lead the charge, followed by Akira Akashi covering Tina as she moves up." Liu Xing clapped his hands, making the final, summarizing statement.

"Mm, no problem on my end," Akira Akashi nodded and spoke up.

Tina also nodded, then picked up Nan Xiaoniao, "Mm, let's head out. We have only about half an hour left. We should return to the temple as soon as possible to present the offerings, lest KP Cao comes up with more tricks."

After ending their Private Room time, Liu Xing went over to Tian Dao and said, "Tian Dao, we have no choice but to force our way through now. This monster seems hell-bent on waiting for us, and we don't have the luxury of time to keep waiting. So, it's up to us men to lead the way and create time and space for them."

"Mm, let's get ready then. But I have a suggestion: we should attack from two different directions, one left and one right. This might just put the monster in a tough spot, increasing our chances of breaking through," Tian Dao nodded, but proposed his own idea.

However, Liu Xing knew that Tian Dao's suggestion was just a part of their role-play. After all, in the Cthulhu RPG Game, a Formless Offspring wouldn't be caught in such a dilemma since it could attack several people at once, with the outcome determined by the Dice Goddess.

Nevertheless, Liu Xing played along with Tian Dao's strategy. "You're right, Tian Dao. So, I'll take the left side, and you take the right, how about that?"

At this moment, Tina and Akira Akashi also came over and heard Liu Xing and Tian Dao's discussion.

"So, when that monster chooses to attack one of you, Akira Akashi and I will follow the other and rush forward. Is that okay?" Tina said with interest.

Akira Akashi just nodded indifferently. The specifics of their run didn't matter much, as the final outcome wouldn't be significantly affected as long as Tina and he could keep up with Liu Xing and Tian Dao without falling behind. This would prevent KP Cao from deciding that they should have separate battle checks.

"Three."

"Two."

"One, charge!"

At Liu Xing's command, everyone charged towards the Formless Offspring.

Just as Liu Xing and Tian Dao took the lead and entered the Formless Offspring's attack range, Liu Xing suddenly felt the air around him stagnate, as if everything around him slowed down. It was like the bullet time seen in movies, where everything seemed incredibly slow.

Of course, in a different setting, like the Main God Space, Liu Xing might have thought he was experiencing a breakthrough in the face of danger, unlocking the legendary genetic lock, enabling him to overpower the Formless Offspring and send it back to where it belonged.

Usually, as lower servants, mythical creatures wouldn't die outright. They'd be sent back to their original place after sustaining certain damage, especially since Eldritch Gods protected these creatures, making it not so simple for mere humans to deal with them.

Unfortunately, Liu Xing was in a Cthulhu RPG Game setting, where no genetic lock existed. The reason for the current situation was that Liu Xing had entered the battle round.

In a typical Cthulhu RPG Game, battle rounds could be resolved sequentially with a few checks, but in this real version of the game, things were not that simple.

"Hehe, now players Liu Xing, Tina, Akira Akashi, Tian Dao, and NPC Nan Xiaoniao have all entered the battle round. Since some players haven't experienced a battle round before, I, KP Cao, will take this opportunity to explain how a real Cthulhu RPG Game battle round works," Liu Xing realized, hearing KP Cao's sleazy voice, that KP Cao was about to stir up trouble.
