Chapter 893: Sir, Didn’t You Say You’d Stop the Livestream at Noon?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“I must tell you that I can only livestream until noon; I have things to do this afternoon,” Mr. Fang said as he controlled Kratos to dodge attacks.
It was indeed dangerous. Even the small monsters were so hard to fight, and he wished that he could finish the livestream immediately. It was hard to continue the game, and he had to explain to these people while he played it.
Of course, Mr. Fang was a professional and had the basic abilities even though he only livestreamed in his free time. He continued to explain, “It seems like Kratos lost his memories and much of his strength…”
“So, we can’t expect him to unleash his previous godly power and use his old ultimate moves.”
[There are no moves such as Poseidon’s Rage in God of War 4!?] Obviously, many players were still impressed by the powerful spells shown in the previous God of War games.
[Sir, can we use the Blades of Chaos in this game?] The saint-level players such as Elf Queen Kellybel still had fresh memories of the main weapons in the God of War trilogy. Some warriors and knights even created mimics of the two chain blades in real life. The saint-level players were very proficient with these weapons.
Missing the Blades of Chaos from the previous games, more people sent bullet comments, asking the same question.
“Um…” Mr. Fang explained as he battled the monster, “I don’t think so. After all, the chain blades came from Ares, the previous God of War. They had been burning Kratos and represented the slavery and bondage under the Olympian gods. I think it’s time for him to say farewell to his past.”
[Sir, you don’t know it either? You sound so uncertain!] Su Tianji asked immediately.
In the past, the shop owner knew everything about the games and had been just reluctant to tell them. However, this time, he sounded very uncertain.
Of course, Mr. Fang couldn’t tell them that he had played all the previous games but had only watched this game’s trailer.
Now playing this damn God of War 4 on livestream, he felt as if he was walking on thin ice, almost failing before he could get out of the tutorial. He seemed to have sensed a malicious intent in this game.
He even suspected that he had played the fake God of War games before. Compared with the three previous games, God of War 4 had a totally different gaming experience.
…
“Father, behind you!” Another draugr got up from the ground and hacked at him with great speed!
“Dodge!” Fang Qi kept his vital body parts safe at the last moment as the rusty blade left a shallow blood line on his body. “There are too many of them, and I’d better get out of the siege and throw the ax at them!”
In God of War 4, Kratos could throw his ax and summon it back at will.
But Fang Qi obviously didn’t find it easy since he had to divert some of his attention to do explanations while battling.
“Auch!” Everyone saw Mr. Fang receiving several wounds in this messy group battle, and his HP bar was almost at the bottom!
“Left!” Although Atreus couldn’t enter the fray, he had been warning Kratos of the dangers coming from the blind spots. The moment that Fang Qi retreated, several draugr followed him.
Having fought for a long while with the draugr, Fang Qi found that they were not fragile skeletons. Their forms and combat techniques showed that they had experienced countless battles before they died. Even now, they maintained a good level of combat strength!
Comparatively, they were more like…
“Corpse ghosts?”
“So many?!”
If he was playing God of War 1, a Poseidon’s Rage would clear them all. Even if he couldn’t cast Poseidon’s Rage at the beginning of the game, he could knock down a group of them with chain blades.
But now, the old God of War couldn’t kill one small monster without being hit. Clearly, he couldn’t stay unrivaled.
“I feel like I’ll going to fail…” Mr. Fang’s heart sank.
At this moment, all the players had their hearts in their throats as they watched the livestream.
“How can it be…”
“It feels like the shop owner is at a disadvantage fighting the small monsters…”
“What’s happening?” Not only the players in the new shops, but the veteran players were stupefied by the scene.
“What’s wrong with today’s livestream…!?” Su Tianji said, “It seems like the shop owner is not himself today?”
“Huh-!?” In the Heavenly Realm, Valkyrie Isabela watched the scene in puzzlement.
When Atreus warned Kratos of the left side, Fang Qi turned his head and felt a gust of wind sweeping at his face. Subconsciously, he blocked the attack with his left arm.
With a crisp metal-colliding noise, a round shield suddenly sprung out from his gauntlet. Fang Qi had expected his left arm to be wounded with this block, but the round shield blocked this attack!
Holding the Leviathan Axe in his right hand, Kratos had a strange gauntlet on his left arm. Different from most other gauntlets, it concealed extremely hard fan blades that were unnoticeable but could form a middle-sized round shield when they spread out.
However, he was still caught off guard, and he was forced to take two steps back by the huge force from the strike.
At this moment, several draugr took the opportunity to charge at him.
“He’s in danger…” the viewers in the shops yelled in low voices.
“He doesn’t know how to use this weapon?” Valkyrie Isabela squinted her eyes and seemed to see the problem. “What’s wrong… it seems like he’s even weaker than me?!”
If it was her, even if she didn’t have enough strength, she could kill these draugr at the price of a few wounds.
“I have a shield on this arm?” At this moment, Fang Qi blocked again with the shield on his left arm subconsciously.
Ting! The block was done in a hurry. Even if he successfully blocked the attack, he would fall and be surrounded by his enemies.
But everyone saw that Fang Qi’s shield had a subtle force that deflected the attack force perfectly. The shield even pushed back, forcing the two monsters to lose balance and lean back!
“It was a hasty move, but it bounced back the attacks so smoothly?!” At this moment, Valkyrie Isabela in the distant Heavenly Realm stared at the screen of the livestream intently. “What combat technique is this?!”
Obviously, she realized that this wasn’t a force or a magic spell but a powerful combat technique!
“Pa… parry!?” Everyone stared at the sight with widened eyes.
“He even… used parry in God of War?!”
Immediately, Fang Qi controlled Kratos to throw out his axe, sending a monster flying with one strike.
With good control of his force, he could strike several times with his axe when the enemies were in mid-air before. But this time, due to the hasty parry, he sent the draugr too far away for him to continue the attack.
Without thinking, he threw out the Leviathan Axe and then slashed his shield at another draugr’s head.
At this moment, bullet comments flooded the screen.
[Amazing!]
[Look at that monster!]
“Parry with heavy strike and flying axe; he pinned a monster onto the mountain wall with. Instant kill?!”
“Awesome!”
“F*ck?! Awesome play!”
“What?!” Valkyrie Isabela watched the livestream in a daze, stunned by the sight of the corpse being pinned to the mountain side.
She had sensed how thick-skinned the monster was, but now…
It felt as if a different player was playing the game!
…
This game was different from the previous games in God of War series. Previously, Kratos, the God of War, had advanced with great fortitude and godly power. But now, his strength was much weaker than before.
In the current situation, it was impossible to sweep across the battlefield with magic spells or powerful strength.
Different from the previous games which featured on the mastery of strength, the system version of God of War 4 focused on combat techniques.
After fighting for most of his life, the old God of War had a lot of battle experience!
I seem to have some ideas about how to play the game… Suddenly, understanding dawned on Mr. Fang.
Combining his previous battle method and the new combat techniques, he seemed to create a completely new battle system.
Ting! With a loud vibration noise, Fang Qi found the perfect angle and used one draugr to block the other draugr who were attacking from the sides, creating a temporary one vs one situation. Meanwhile, the shield on his left arm moved nimbly and blocked the monster’s sword before slanting and striking forward sideways. Then, he struck down his heavy axe, sending the monster flying. Immediately, he threw out the Leviathan Axe. These moves finished in one breath with great smoothness!
I know how to play this game…!
…
[Sir, didn’t you say you’d stop the livestream at noon?] someone asked in the bullet comment.
“Huh? What did you say?” Mr. Fang tried to pin monsters to walls several times but failed. Then, he turned back to find small monster to practice the pinning technique.
“Hiss… this monster is so big; can it be pinned onto the wall!?”
“Ahh-!” A scream sounded.
“Huh…?” The viewers exchanged a look.
