Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 609: "Quasi-King" Bernal
The battle location was very direct, set on the second floor of the Volcano Residence.

This was supposed to be the banquet hall, but according to Tanis, the Volcano Residence is now short-staffed, so the more spacious side hall has been abandoned and can only be held here.

Li You had no objection. At the same time, Tanis's rebels had been summoned by her and were arranged to make a solemn appearance one by one.

The first one came up with the fully armed Bernal. His beast armor was ferocious and heavy. He was carrying a two-handed giant sword and stood there without saying a word.

Bernal: “…”

The second one was the young man with ramen hair and gorgeous armor. He carried a large shield on his back and a long whip as gorgeous as the armor hung around his waist. His expression was very rich and dramatic, but he still stood up.

Noodle Head: "...I want to be a hero."

Then came the third warrior from the Volcano Residence, "Crazy" Patch, wearing black leather armor, holding a large shield and a spear, with a shiny forehead.

Patch: “???”

"No, why should I play too?"

Patch originally thought that after the reception mission was over, he would not have to face Li You anymore. However, as soon as he sat down in the guest room, he was called over by Laya, and then told by Tanis that he had to fight with Li You and his friends.

Patch was confused.

“…Wait, I’m not good at fighting anyway!? Why do you want me to go?”

Tanis looked at him and said, "Didn't you go into the city of Morn, where the subhumans were rebelling, with Li You? Not only did you go in and out seven times, but you also got ahead of him by a body length?"

Patch: “…”

Damn, the bullshit is exposed.

"So it's just right. You can go fight them. I believe you can win and prove the power of us rebels."

Patch was in tears: I'm sorry, I won't brag again next time.

Li Youze watched them prepare, and these seemed to be all the staff on standby at the Volcano Residence.

If in the game, there should be two more red spirits who are also thugs of the Volcano Mansion forces. They are the torturer Kisa who originally invaded the second floor of this place, and the rebel Henriks who invaded in front of the Nimgefu Arena.

But I don't know if these two were killed in advance or what, anyway, Tanis only pulled out Bernal and three others.

Li You was a little surprised: "Are these the three people on your side?"

Didn't he say that apart from Bernard who deserves attention, the other two are basically useless.

I won't talk about Patch, those who don't understand will understand. As for the ramen-headed man with gorgeous armor, his name is Diaros, and he comes from the famous Khosrow family. That armor and that gorgeous silver whip with teeth as sharp as petals are all inherited from the Khosrow family.

Logically speaking, Diaros was born into a famous family, so his fighting ability should not be weak, but unfortunately, he got the script of a family with a perfect big brother and he was just a younger brother. In his own plot line, he failed to become a warrior until the end.

Tanis didn't seem to think it was wrong, she just nodded and said, "That's right. Since you are a guest, please decide the order of the challenge."

When Patch heard this, the other half of his heart sank.

Patch: Totally spicy!
Li Youze already understood Tanis's idea and smiled: "I see, you are really confident. If that's the case, then... let's arrange it this way."

He pointed at Kara and V and said, "We will have three of us fight here. As for the order..."

"V, you deal with that ramen head. I'll leave Patch to you, Kara. As for me, I'll just have to learn Bernal's fighting skills."

After his arrangement came out, Tanis and Patch were a little surprised. Diaros looked completely bewildered, while Bernal glanced at Li You.

In fact, the situation is very clear. The combat power of Li You's people is unknown, but the situation on the side of the Volcano Residence is very clear. Except for Bernal, the remaining two, anyone with a little vision can see that their combat power is not good.

Considering that the competition format is best of three, it can be said that such an arrangement is actually Tanis's secret manipulation... It's basically not even an act.

So Li You only needs to pick a weak guy to deal with Bernal, and then get rid of the two weak guys, Patch and Diaros, to win the victory steadily.

Considering this point of view, it is obvious that as the strongest man on his side, Li You's best choice is to avoid Bernal. Moreover, he still has a grudge against Patch. Tanis also threw Patch into the battle, still thinking of using him as a target to attract firepower... probably because she was afraid that Li You would not understand her arrangement.

However, judging from the current situation, Li You obviously understood Tanis's intention, but still chose to face Bernal himself, which made Tanis think.

"Is he so confident in himself?"

Although Bernard looks like a knight wearing strange armor and a bit lonely, he is actually the best fighter in Volcano Mansion.

Although Tanis was surprised, she did not object. Even if she wanted to do something behind the scenes, she couldn't make it too obvious, otherwise the show would be meaningless. So she finally agreed and said, "In that case, please prepare yourself."

"We will leave the first battle to Mr. Diaros."

Without Li's persuasion, V came out with Pandora in his hand: "I don't need to prepare anything, just come directly."

Seeing her calmness, Diaros on the other side gritted his teeth and said, “Then come on!”

Diaros held up his shield, and with his other hand he held and unfolded the Khosrow whip, ready for battle. Even so, the sharp whip in his hand was obviously an agile weapon, but he held the shield in one hand and the whip in the other. He looked very out of place.

V didn't want to scare him, so she put the Pandora suitcase behind her. The suitcase then changed its posture, with a small part extending downward and turning into mantis blades on both arms, while more of it remained behind her, forming a cool high-tech backpack.

V raised her arms, and the mantis blade popped out. Electricity flashed on the blade, and her magic power was released without any concealment!

Over such a long time, V's total amount of magic power has also increased significantly. This is the benefit of using magic seeds to awaken magic power.

Yuzu's Ascension Ritual allows him to directly obtain the demon form and immediately have a huge amount of magic power, but on the other hand, it is more difficult to improve. V awakens through the magic seed. Although her magic power is relatively weak at the beginning, as she continues to fight and improve, her magic power can become greater than that obtained by the Ascension Ritual.

Although V's current total magic power is still not as high as Yuzu's, it is already far beyond that of ordinary warriors in this world.

When her magic power burst out, the people at the Volcano Residence were also surprised. They didn't expect that this ordinary-looking female warrior could have such exaggerated magic power, which even made people doubt that she was a magician.

V waved to Diaros: "Then please!"

As for Diaros, he was overwhelmed by the magical aura released by V. Looking at the flashing lightning and cold light on the mantis knife transformed by Pandora, his legs began to tremble unconsciously. He subconsciously shrank his neck and said, "I, I give up..."

V: "?"

Tanis: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Li You: “Happy.”

Fortunately, although this sentence had already circled around Diaros's lips, he swallowed it back later.

"...No, I can't give up. I want to be a hero. This is for Lenia, and to live up to the name of Khosrow!"

“Khosrow speaks with blood! Aaaaaa——!!”

V: He rushed over shouting about heroism and family honor.

But it was no use.

Diaros rushed closer, and with a flick of his right hand, the petal whip deftly broke through the air and flew towards V. V's expression changed, and he raised his left hand to meet the flying whip. The whip with a sharp blade wrapped around the mantis blade, and even further spiraled downwards, wrapping around V's left hand.

However, V instantly extended Pandora, turning it into armor to protect his left arm, and also took the opportunity to grab the whip.

However, Diaros didn't seem to notice this detail. He raised his big shield, grabbed the petal whip hard, and said, "I caught you. Come here!"

V: "?"

She was too lazy to put in too much effort to resist, she just pretended to do so, and then followed Diaros's movements and was "pulled" in front of him.

Diaros didn't stop talking. He clenched the petal whip tightly and said, "See for yourself. This is Khosrow's..."

"Such a noise." V was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. She raised her free right hand, and Pandora changed its form, from a mantis blade to a power glove with a muzzle.

The gloves lit up with energy, and then hot air spurted out from the sides. V then threw a heavy punch, smashing it hard on the shield of Diaros, and flames spewed out of the muzzle!

"boom--!!"

With the support of Pandora's artillery-powered boxing gloves, the power of this punch was almost as powerful as Yuzu's dragon-hunting axe. Diaros had no way to resist and was thrown out!

"Boom-"

The big shield and petal whip slipped out of his hands, and Diaros hit the wall behind him hard. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

The petal whip was still wrapped around V's left arm armor. She took a look at it, easily removed it, and waved it in her hand: "This thing is quite interesting, but you don't know how to use it at all."

Diaros was quite resilient. Although he was knocked down by a punch and all his weapons fell out of his hands, he still struggled to get up from the ground: "...I won't give up. Lenia died at the hands of the lawbreakers, but I gave up revenge and joined the Volcano Mansion, just to embark on the path of defilement and become a hero!"

"I want to be like my brother, a Bloody Knight worthy of the name Khosrow! I..."

"boom!!"

V suddenly took action, imitating what Li You had done before, and kicked Diaros unconscious on the spot.

"…I'm not interested in your story, and just what you said is enough to make me despise you, you idiot."

V. had seen all kinds of situations. Just by listening to Diaros's few words, she had already judged this person's character, so she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Diaros's physique was obviously not as good as Patch's. After being kicked by V, he rolled back to the wall and fainted.

V looked at the petal whip in his hand, simply hung it around his waist, and then returned to Li You.

"The first game has been decided."

Tanis's tone was very calm, so calm that there was no trace of surprise or unwillingness at all, "Get ready for the second round. Patch, it's your turn."

Patch, who was named by her, walked to the front with a look of execution on his face. Although he was not facing Li You, it was a good thing. However, facing Kara who defeated Shattered Star and was tricked by him, he still felt guilty.

Seeing Kara approaching with the Dark Moon Staff, Patch tried his best to put on a friendly smile and said, "Well... you see, after all, we fought side by side against General Shatterstar. Can you save some face and not be so harsh?"

Kara smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have long forgotten the fact that you used the teleportation trap to trick me. I will know my limits."

Patch was relieved: "Great, I knew you were a reasonable woman."

"The second round begins!"

"boom--!!"

A broom star pierced Patch's head!

Patch was horrified, and rolled over on the ground in a panic to avoid it. He stood up and shouted, "Didn't you say you don't hold grudges and have some sense of propriety?!"

Kara didn't stop and continued to swing the staff: "I don't mind you cheating me in the past, but you cheated my master, I have to settle this account with you. Don't hide, I really know my limits, at most I will cut off your two hands and two legs!"

Patch was horrified. She dodged her broom and shouted, "You, you, you—! You don't keep your word!"

On the sidelines, Li You watched Kara chase Patch around. With a smile on his face, he called out to Kara, "Be careful, don't break other people's furniture, it looks quite expensive."

Kara responded obediently: "Got it, Master."

Only Patch complained: "If you hurt someone, you have to pay for the medical expenses!"

Li You and Kara ignored them completely. One was fighting very happily, and the other was watching very happily.

At this time, Aggie's voice sounded in the mental link. She asked Li You: "It's a bit too strange, why are the people sent by Tanis so weak? Does she really want to defeat us?"

Before Li You could say anything, V answered for him: "Of course not. From her performance at the beginning, we can tell that Tanis originally hoped that we could win. She just wanted to go through a process and appease her subordinates."

Aggie was still confused: "But Li You clearly said before that he wanted to challenge Lakkad. What good will this do for Tanis? Why should she let us win?"

V couldn't answer this question, but Li You knew very well why.

Justice Lacard... No, now he should be called "blasphemous king" Lacard. In pursuit of immortality and power, he was willing to let himself be devoured by the giant snake. He has long since degenerated into a monster that is neither human nor demigod, and his former ambition has been replaced by corrupt greed.

The so-called audience with Lacade was nothing more than Tanis sending those rebels who had passed the test and possessed sufficient power to Lacade's room to become Lacade's food.

This is the reason why Tanis was willing to let Li You meet Lacade. She just wanted Li You to become Lacade's lunch as well.

For them, it’s like high-end takeout delivered to your door.

Although from Li You's perspective, Tanis obviously overestimated herself. Takeout? Didn't they consider that the food would bite people?
However, Lakkad, who was swallowed by the giant snake, has a passive skill, which is that he is almost immortal. Even if he is defeated, he can be resurrected again one day, so Tanis really has nothing to be afraid of.

But, that's just the usual case...

At the Volcano Residence, the taciturn Bernal looked at the embarrassed Patch on the field, then looked at Li You standing opposite and watching happily, and finally glanced at Tanis sitting in the main seat, and finally snorted in a voice that was almost inaudible to others:
“…That woman is crazy.”

Bernal also saw what Tanis was thinking: "Rakade turned into a greedy snake, only knowing how to devour other faded ones to increase his own strength; although this woman is the only one who stayed by his side as a human, has she also turned into a snake in her heart? The greed of a snake... can kill itself."

He saw all this, but remained silent, just watching Patch being chased around everywhere, and finally being knocked to the ground by Kara's Dark Night Gravel, and then being hit by countless Gravel combos.

In the end, Patch almost lay on the ground, crying out in defeat and begging for mercy, before Kara stopped, and then he was carried away like Diaros.

After this round, according to the best-of-three format, Li You's team had won. Tanis wanted to announce the result directly, but Li You stood up and said, "Wait, I want to finish the third game."

"Oh?"

Tanis glanced at him, then at Bernard, and was obviously a little surprised by Li You's proposal. She also saw clearly that Li You seemed to be very interested in Bernard.

Tanis also knew that Bernal had taught Li You some simple combat skills in Nimgufu in the past, but other than that, the two should have no intersection.

Although she was a little curious, Tanis would not oppose Li You at this point. Seeing that Bernard had no objection, she nodded and said, "Okay. Let's finish the three games and then announce the results."

Bernal and Li You looked at each other, then walked to the front and took out their weapons.

"please."

"please."

Li You pulled out the spiral sword from his waist. As he was pulling out the sword, the spiral sword gradually changed its shape and finally turned into a dark gold long-handled axe decorated with an eclipse wheel.

This is a weapon obtained in the Shadow Land. It belongs to the elite knights who serve the dead prince Godwin. It is the long-handled axe of the dead knight.

Bernal also took a look at this weapon he had never seen before. He could feel that at the moment its form changed, the flow of magic power in the weapon also changed, which surprised Bernal.

"What kind of weapon is this that has such a strange ability?"

However, he immediately refocused his attention on Li You. The next moment, the two figures suddenly disappeared from their original places, and then collided with each other in an instant!
"clang--!!"

With a loud bang, the Death Knight's long-handled axe and Bernal's two-handed sword collided, sparks flew, and the two men were deadlocked in place for a moment.

"What exactly are you doing here at Huoshanguan?" Bernard asked Li You in a low voice from a distance, "You should already have enough Great Runes, and no longer need the ones that blaspheme the king. The rebels should not have offended you either."

"Could it be to punish evil and encourage good? To eliminate the lawbreakers who kill and plunder their fellows?"

Li Youze said: "I came here for many reasons. One is to blaspheme the king or the big snake. As for the other one, I came here specifically to see you, Mr. Bernard, the 'Rebel'."

"No, or should I call you...'Quasi-King' Bernal?"

Bernal: “!!”
