Chapter 42 You've really never seen a PVP master before!
Although Dark Fantasy is primarily a single-player game, as mentioned before, it has a significant amount of online multiplayer elements.
There are exclusive maps and special dungeons for online events, such as the "Grand Gathering Hall" type, as well as arenas where players can have friendly and friendly exchanges.
In fact, the PVP system in "Dark Fantasy" is quite extensive.
Because Dark Fantasy already has a wealth of content, with various weapons, spells, items, and skills, players can create a wide variety of character builds.
The PVP system, which is derived from these game contents and character building schemes, is undoubtedly extremely complex and extensive.
Putting everything else aside, just getting familiar with the various melee weapons and their respective basic move sets would take a lot of time.
Therefore, the PVP gameplay in "Dark Fantasy" is not easy to get started with, and to master it requires a lot of time to immerse oneself in it.
However, perhaps because of this, quite a few players have become immersed in it, and there are even quite a few players who play "Dark Fantasy" specifically for PVP.
Youche certainly didn't get into the game for PVP, but he still spends a fair amount of time on PVP.
After all, it was during his climb up the ladder in the arena that he gradually began to lose his original aspirations...
The final result was the birth of a three-time gold medalist and the disappearance of a player who only cared about the storyline.
In short, Yu Che is a PVP expert.
Amazing old people do exist!
Just like now, his PVP skills came in handy.
"clang!!"
Yu Che parried the knight's longsword again, causing the attack to miss.
However, while avoiding the main damage, his arms were also numb from the shock. Not only did he lose a small amount of health due to the absolute disadvantage in attributes, but he also slid backward a large distance.
However, it was precisely during this backward movement that he narrowly avoided a flying knife that came from his side and rear.
The two throwing knives grazed his body, flew towards the sword-wielding knight, and were then knocked down by him.
In "Dark Fantasy", there is no friendly fire shield.
Sword-wielding knight: "!?!"
You Che's response was so ingenious that he couldn't believe it was intentional.
"...It must be a coincidence!"
The swordsman stepped forward to give chase, but then another flying knife came flying at him, startling him so much that he instinctively parried with his sword.
For a moment he thought his companion had thrown the knife off course, but then he realized that the knife was from You Che.
"You little thief...! Prepare to die!"
"call out--"
As the longsword slashed down, You Che did not parry this time, but instead narrowly dodged to the side, while also avoiding two more flying knives that came from the side at tricky angles.
He calculated the distance with extreme precision, so only his clothes were torn, while he himself was completely unharmed.
The swordsman wanted to pursue, but he had used too much force when he slashed down and had not yet fully recovered from the "after-swing".
You Che seized the opportunity, turning his body in a rather strange motion, and his hound claws slashed the knight's upper arm, creating a small cut.
"Ugh...!!"
The swordsman sensed the foreign power invading his body. Fortunately, knight-type classes naturally have a higher resistance to these abnormal states, so one strike was not enough to trigger a blood explosion.
But he dared not take a second blow, so he did not continue the pursuit and instead chose to play it safe and observe for the time being.
Then he saw You Che take the opportunity to take out a bottle of slow-recovery potion from his backpack and drink it. The small amount of health points that had been lost due to blocking the attack immediately began to slowly recover.
Sword-wielding knight: "!?!"
"...You little thief, stop hiding! Is that all you can do?"
Yu Che completely ignored him and focused solely on his own movements.
Not to mention that this guy doesn't even know how to trash talk and has a pitifully poor vocabulary, his thousands of hours of experience in the arena allow him to maintain complete focus and composure in PVP.
In "Dark Fantasy", there is no such thing as going first or second in PVP. There are different strategies and countermeasures for each. However, those who lose their composure in battle will definitely suffer a great loss.
In other words...
"Getting impatient? Is that all?"
"Aaaaaah...!!!"
The swordsman was furious. He simply couldn't accept that, despite being more than ten levels higher than his opponent and having teammates to cooperate with, the entire battle was still being controlled by the other side.
He even had a feeling that the other party was playing him for a fool.
...Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He's a certified high-ranking knight, high-ranking! How could a level 7 thief possibly have such abilities!
"Prepare to die—!"
"Calm down!"
Seeing him lose his composure, the knight who was assisting him shouted a reminder, but it had little effect.
Seeing the sword-wielding knight swinging his sword wildly, only to have it all dodged by You Che, the knight who was assisting him couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed two daggers to surround him.
He didn't participate in the siege at first, mainly because both of them felt that the swordsman could easily deal with You Che and his companion, so it was more important to prevent them from escaping.
Unexpectedly, first the strange plant monster rushed into the bushes and disappeared without a trace, and then the little thief was able to hold his own against the sword-wielding knight.
Although he mostly dodged, he always managed to seize opportunities to cause some trouble for the sword-wielding knights, even using some small tricks that could easily injure them if they weren't careful.
Now that his companion had lost his composure, the remaining knight could wait no longer.
"I'll help you!"
You Che noticed his approach, but he wasn't alarmed.
The reason he went to great lengths to increase his agility before the war was to prepare for this situation.
The Agility attribute, aside from its impact on weapon stats, primarily enhances a character's flexibility and movement speed.
And one point worth noting is that Agility is an attribute that yields greater benefits when it is low, and it is also an attribute with a relatively low soft cap.
The benefits are greater when the attribute is low, because every attribute point invested when agility is low can bring a significant improvement.
The reason why the soft cap is low is that, in terms of character agility and movement speed, it is difficult to increase them further once a certain value is reached, specifically around 30.
Once Agility reaches 30 points, investing more attribute points will hardly improve movement speed or agility—the main improvement will then be in the precision of subtle body control.
Therefore, in "Dark Fantasy", there won't be situations where an agile character can outrun a strength character and leave them with exhaust fumes. Agile characters will be faster, but not by that much.
Of course, for weapons that primarily benefit from agility scaling, the damage increase from attribute improvements is still calculated as usual; these are two separate issues.
In short, for Yuche, the original 5 points of agility were too low, and he had no conditions to operate. But after increasing it to 7 points, it was enough for him to maintain the battle against two level 20 knights.
Conversely, because of the threshold, even if the two knights were to allocate all their points to Agility, their close-combat movements would not be fast enough for You Che to handle.
Unlike highly agile monsters, in PVP... the actions humans can make are still too predictable, especially for Yuche.
The dual-dagger knight joined the battle, but You Che subtly shifted his feet, avoiding the opponent's surprise attack, while simultaneously making the two knights hinder each other as he moved.
With a clang, the longsword and the two daggers clashed together.
"Ugh...!!"
"Don't come any closer, I can handle him!"
A disagreement arose between the two knights, and the arrival of the second person actually made the situation more favorable to Yuche.
Just as they stopped moving because of each other's interference, You Che turned around and lunged forward, slashing down with his blade. The hound's claws then opened a small gash on the sword-wielding knight's thigh, which was not covered by armor.
The areas of the sword-wielding knight not covered by armor did not have enough defense for You Che to break through, so even though it was just a shallow slash, the accumulated blood explosion gauge was already enough!
"Pfft—!!"
The swordsman's leg wound suddenly burst open, spurting out large chunks of blood and flesh!
"Ughhh!!"
The swordsman cried out in pain and instinctively swung his sword to retaliate, but You Che had already created distance.
When he looked down to check his injury, he saw that a large chunk of flesh was missing from his left thigh, which now affected his mobility.
Having suffered this heavy blow, his anger finally subsided, and his gaze towards You Che became one of disbelief:
"Who exactly are you?!"
You Che twirled the hound's claws and the green rusted dagger in his hands, then said, "I'm just a passerby... no, I'm getting sidetracked again."
"Two years ago, the Western community... this won't do either."
He thought for a moment before replying, "Just think of me as a reincarnated Soul 5."
The Knights duo: "???"
What kind of nonsense is this?
However, You Che didn't give them any time to think. He raised his hand and threw out two more throwing knives!
"call out--"
