Chapter 1221: A Unique Combat Mechanism

After trying a few times, Yan Qi basically adapted to this rhythm.

This was not difficult. After all, when the breathing icon changed, the game background sound would also have a faint breathing sound effect. This breathing rhythm would not become messy because of vigorous exercise. Thus, he only needed to familiarize himself with it a few times and remember the breathing frequency. The timing of the knife turning into muscle memory would be enough.

However, Yan Qi felt that this change did not seem to be very outstanding.

It might be in terms of setting but the actual effect might not be good.

It would increase the difficulty level of the players by one dimension. It might cause the already slightly long battle to become even longer. That was because players could not immediately attack after the boss made its move. They had to consider if the Martial God was still breathing. That would obviously waste some time attacking.

Therefore, whether this was a good setting or not depended on other aspects.

Right on the heels of that was the explanation of the strength value and the kill settings. Simply put, the aura value would affect the physical strength recovery. When there was a gap in the physical strength of both sides, the combat strength would become huge, and the party with too low physical strength would be killed.

“Yes, that would be equivalent to further emphasizing the importance of the aura value. The stamina of ‘slow use and slow return’ replaced the stamina of ‘quick use and quick return’. It would be closer to the concept in reality.”

“The difficulty level will increase further, but it’s still the same problem. The fun might not increase.”

Yan Qi continued watching.

Next was the conventional response method for the three types of attacks. The enemy’s attack was divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. The first part of the attack was dodged with a step, the middle part was parried, and the next part was jumped.

These three attacks required players to judge based on the other party’s raised hand movements.

What’s more, this method did not need to lock onto the target. It could be triggered immediately as long as he pressed the corresponding button.

“The Martial God’s step and dodge might be closer than the rolling distance of Repent and be Saved’s protagonist, but his speed is faster and more flexible. It’s equivalent to dancing on the edge of a knife. It fits the Martial God’s character setting.”

“The enemy’s attacking method has become three types… The response is even more complicated. The timing that was originally not much was further compressed.”

Initially, in the battle of Eternal Reincarnation, it was enough to see the enemy raise his hand and roll to avoid it. The only thing that needed to be paid attention to was that the enemy might have a fast and slow sword. In other words, the faster and slower movements of the enemy would be used continuously. This might cause players to find it difficult to grasp the timing of their rolling and hit the blade.

However, he had to respond according to the enemy’s raised hand movements. The consequences would be extremely serious if he saw wrongly. Obviously, the difficulty had increased.

Yan Qi was even a little worried.

He was afraid that after changing the combat system, he would not be able to defeat the monsters that he revived on the Road to the Underworld.

Next was the explanation of “counter-attack”, which was a precise parry.

“After locking onto the target, use the right joystick to choose the direction and press the Parry button at the appropriate time. Then, you can parry perfectly and disrupt the opponent’s aura value?”

“Eh? Isn’t this the parry of the demon sword!”

Yan Qi finally knew how the parry that many players had died too many times before was used.

Training in this mode was done step by step. They would first practice the same direction repeatedly before gradually increasing the number of attacks in the same direction.

However, even so, Yan Qi was still hacked until he was dizzy. That was because the judgment mechanism of the perfect parry was relatively strict. If he did not grasp the rhythm of the attack, he might not be able to achieve the perfect damage protection effect. It would seriously disrupt his aura value.

In fact, he would even be killed by the other party after his aura value was messed up.

The Martial God with the red light opposite him made a very cool execution gesture. He turned around and put his sword back into its sheath, leaving only a handsome back view.

“What a scam!”

“They’re both Martial Gods. Is this the difference between the buyers and sellers?”

“There’s also this combat system. Was this designed by a carbon-based creature?”

“It’s enough that you have to grasp the right timing to parry. You even have to push the joystick to differentiate between different parries. The parries in different directions are even different…”

“You have to use the left joystick, the right joystick, the parry key, and the attacking key. What’s more, you have to remember the aura value in your heart. You can only attack when you are breathing. If the aura value is chaotic, you have to think of ways to open a distance and calm down…”

“This f*cking change is completely unrecognizable!”

Yan Qi threw the controller on the table, his mentality a little broken.

The tricks that he had worked so hard to train in Repent and be Saved were completely useless in Eternal Reincarnation!

He was in a good mood today. He planned to continue advancing after Eternal Reincarnation was updated.

In the end, after nearly ten minutes, he was still adjusting to basic operations in training mode…

The feeling of retreating on the spot was really unacceptable.

It was just like a student who had been studying hard for several years. He had already more or less grasped the knowledge of the various courses. Every day, he would work on sample problems and wait for the exam. In the end, he suddenly realized that the outline of the exam had changed drastically. What he had learned previously was useless. He had to learn everything from scratch!

Just thinking about it made him despair.

However, Yan Qi could not possibly skip the training mode to fight monsters because he knew very well that the combat mechanism in the game must have been changed.

No matter what, it was just masochism in training mode or in the normal process of the game.

Thinking about it this way, it was better to be tortured in training mode. At the very least, he did not have to revive over and over again.

After calming down, Yan Qi quietly picked up the controller and continued to familiarize himself with the new combat system.

In Repent and be Saved’s original combat system, the right joystick was not very useful. It could only adjust the perspective without locking onto the enemy.

Once he locked onto the enemy, the right joystick would be completely useless.

However, in the combat system of Eternal Reincarnation, the right swing would only be effective after locking onto the enemy.

Yan Qi had been subconsciously reciting the words’ top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right ‘and other positions. His right thumb was also pushing the right joystick at the same time. For some reason, he felt like he was playing a fighting game and making big moves.

Metal clashing sounds were endless. Yan Qi’s parries became smoother and smoother, and his timing became more and more accurate.

Yan Qi breathed according to the frequency of the Martial God in the game and chanted the positioning to parry. Coincidentally, after the opponent’s series of attacks ended, he found a breathing state and slashed.

Clang!

The other party parried the blow, but even so, he staggered and lost his balance.

“Eh? I’ve struck the killing line!”

Yan Qi subconsciously pressed the button to attack. The Martial God directly made a clean killing move and ended the other party.

“That’s too fast!”

Yan Qi was also very surprised other than being happy.

That was because the other party still had a lot of HP. Previously, Yan Qi had been fighting with his saber and had been failing. The other party was simply an invincible God of War. It made him seriously suspect that there was no killing mechanism at all because this was a training mode.

Now, he understood that there was also a killing mechanism in the training mode. It was just that he did not activate it!

Previously, the perfect parry frequency was too low. It was not enough to disrupt the opponent’s aura value. Instead, it messed up his own aura value. That was why the other party looked so impressive.

“I understand now.

“Simply put, this combat mechanism is that either you die or I die.”

“It would take a long time to disrupt the opponent’s aura value if we only used regular methods like stepping, dodging, and jumping. The entire battle would become extremely long.”

“However, if you fight the other party frequently, you would trigger a perfect parry. Soon, you would be able to disrupt the other party’s aura value and achieve the killing conditions.”

“In other words, the number of times I strike is not important at all, but the timing of the strike is very important.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (F)ir????

“I would rather not strike for a minute, but as long as I strike, I have to strike at the right time.”

“Interesting!”

After understanding the correct way to open this combat mechanism, Yan Qi suddenly realized its pleasure.

Repent and be Saved’s original combat mechanism could be seen as an optimization and continuation of the traditional combat mechanism. Even though there were some improvements in hand sensitivity and operational details, it ultimately still emphasized the “correct number of attacks”.

He hacked the enemy to death one by one without being greedy and avoiding the enemy’s attacks.

Both sides had very high attack power. The consequences of every mistake were very serious. This required players to control their ‘rash’ urge and take rational action.

Even so, it still emphasized ‘number of times’.

In other words, it did not matter if the battle dragged on for a longer time. The key was not to make mistakes. In any case, it was certain how many times he would kill the boss. He just had to think of a way to achieve this number of times.

However, the combat mechanism of Eternal Reincarnation was equivalent to subverting all of these.

It no longer emphasized ‘number of times’ but ‘time’.

Parrying or attacking ten times at the wrong time was not as good as parrying or attacking once at the right time.

It was no longer realistic to use Repent and be Saved’s method to torture the boss to death. That was because the benefits of killing the boss at the wrong time were very low, even negative.

These two core experiences were completely different combat mechanisms, which also gave players completely different combat experiences.

Repent and be Saved’s battle was more like an ordinary person’s. The battle was mainly about stability. They moved carefully, thinking of all ways to avoid the other party’s attack. Then, they would catch the loopholes and counterattack. They would kill the other party bit by bit.

On the other hand, the battle in Eternal Reincarnation was truly like a Martial God. He was dancing on the edge of a knife at every moment. Even if the outcome of losing the fight was instant death, he had to continue fighting and adjust his breathing to wait for the right time.

Once he found a suitable opportunity, he would kill him with a single blow!

This was a little like a showdown between two ancient heroes. They had to watch the other party’s moves seriously and counterattack every move. They had to find the other party’s flaws in the crossover of weapons or force the other party to have flaws through strong pressure and then decide the winner with one blow.
