The headless horseman, his mission is complete...
He sacrificed his life gloriously.
Humanity did not humiliate him; they allowed him to depart peacefully.
“That’s enough!”
The eerie blue flame deep inside the room trembled.
"Just who is that human?! How could he kill one of my generals?!"
Chapter 113 The Saintess Ate a Thermite Grenade Today
"Zi..."
The headless knight emitted a sizzling sound similar to that of a steak being cooked, and black mist emanated from its body before turning into ashes and disappearing from the five people's sight.
Although it fought Karen fiercely, in the end, it was Lycoline Liuna who ended its life.
Everyone except An Yi gained experience to level up 2 times from the first kill of the Headless Horseman.
An Yi, on the other hand, had already reached level 20, so even if she killed a level 3 demon, she would lose experience and only gained half a level's worth of experience.
The system encourages challenges, and for An Yi's attributes, a level three demon is too easy.
Reaching level 20 means you have at least several types of weapons and equipment, and if your stat allocation is normal, at least one attribute should be close to 30.
If An Yi were to fight the Headless Horseman one-on-one, although the opponent would have 25 Agility and 20 Resilience, An Yi could gain 27+ Strength through his equipment.
An Yi can make countless mistakes. If the Headless Horseman takes a hit from An Yi's multi-cast skill, he and his horse could be killed together.
but……
"Hmm?" Layton sensed something was wrong.
Lycorina and Miluko are also included.
"Strange, why isn't there any new equipment?" Lycorina checked her backpack and found that there was indeed no new equipment.
Milu noticed other oddities and started typing in the group chat.
[Hero of the Thorn: Um... the Headless Knight's attributes are strange.]
Strength: 10 Agility: 25 Stamina: ∞
Resilience: 20 Magic: 3 Intelligence: 0
Tip: 5
His agility and resilience are both above 20, so you need strength and agility both above 20 to reliably damage him.
The level 4 demon is the demon that the 5th level team of the small team can challenge, but is its three attribute too high for a level 5 hero?
In my opinion, it should be an even more dangerous demon than the Slime King.
An Yi remained silent, but silently thought to herself, "That's right."
Yes, this is indeed a level three demon.
However, this is not a boss recommended for beginners.
This is just an elite monster in a dungeon!
Although you will still gain experience, elite monsters are not quest targets, meaning that even if you kill them, you will not complete any quests and will not receive any equipment.
However, this also means that... this is at least a mission of the same or even higher level as the [Slaying the Three-Headed Goblin Centurion] mission.
Because it is an elite monster from a higher-level dungeon, its attributes are not geared towards new players!
Although King Slime is disgusting, he is also a boss that kills newbies.
However, the enemy has weaknesses, and once we have the intelligence, it is not difficult to defeat them.
But the Headless Horseman is different.
Its sheer overwhelming advantage in attributes is absolutely hopeless for newcomers.
Even Karen was startled when she saw the Headless Horseman's attributes.
"The reason he's not dropping equipment might be because he's not a quest target," Annie suggested.
"It's not the mission objective...?" Lycorina glanced at the mission.
World Quest: Undead Castle
Mission Objective: Reclaim the Undead Castle (1/1)
Mission difficulty:? ? ?
Qi's recommendation level: ? ? ?
Number of recommenders: ? ? ?
The objective of mission 1 is to reclaim the Undead Castle!
6. It's not about killing the Headless Horseman!
Chirp [Hero of the Thorns: That explains it.]
In other words, this level three demon is not the level three demon we are familiar with.
Qi is just an ordinary monster that needs to be killed in the quest to reclaim the Undead Castle.
This quest isn't as difficult as defeating a regular level 3 demon, so... defeating the Headless Horseman isn't something a regular level 5 hero could handle!
"No wonder! I knew it! That's why level three demons are so strong!" Lycorina exclaimed in sudden realization.
An Yi nodded, feigning agreement: "I see."
Layton: "Oh well, who cares! As long as we get the castle back, that's all that matters!"
He seemed to understand, yet he also seemed not to understand.
Karen stood to one side...
"???"
What are they saying?!
Lycorina noticed Karen's confusion: "Oh, right, Karen can't see what we're saying in the chat group."
"Wait, let me ask the High God!"
Not long after, a line of words appeared before Karen's eyes—
[The Holy Warrior invites you to join the chat group. Would you like to join?]
"A chat group?" Karen answered in her mind, somewhat puzzled.
System Notification
The Hero of the Eyes has joined the chat group!
She immediately saw the chat history in the group and instantly understood what they had been talking about.
"So...this castle is much more dangerous than we imagined?"
Then, she continued to flip upwards.
Since they are the highest-level hero team in the world, their chat must include discussions about defeating the demons!
[Saint Hero: What to have for dinner?]
Holy Hero: Good morning! What's for breakfast?!
Saintly Hero: What should we eat for lunch?
Holy Hero: I'm hungry! What should we eat tonight?!
Holy Warrior: What's for breakfast today?
Sword Hero: Today I'm eating a thermite grenade.
Holy Hero: ? ? ?
Karen: "..."
The world's highest-level hero team... Does Liu usually discuss these things?! san☆》∠§∶er/!
It has absolutely nothing to do with defeating the demons!!
Lycorina glanced around: "It seems there's only one headless knight in the audience hall. Where should we go next?"
Karen finally remembered the important matter and began to think about the direction to take next.
Since the other party has occupied the castle, we must assume that they want to be a king.
Even if this assumption is baseless, it can still provide them with a direction to move forward.
Besides the audience hall, where else might the king possibly stay?
Now there is an invasion by foreign enemies, and the audience hall has been lost.
Regardless of whether the other party has obtained intelligence, there is a high probability that a meeting will be held next to decide how to deal with the intruder.
That is to say...
“Next, the enemy will most likely be in the castle’s meeting room,” Karen said in a deep voice.
……
Castle, meeting room.
Under the command of the "Lord", various necromancer demons began to gather in the conference hall to discuss their next move.
