This time Ben still used the big sword he used before.
Even though he unlocked a bow and arrow, after trying it out a little bit, he felt that this bow and arrow seemed a little hard to use.
For normal attacks, you need to charge it up, or you can't shoot it out. And depending on how long you charge it, the damage and attack range are also different.
The highest damage is at the moment when the charge flashes, which can do the most damage, but after that the damage decreases.
As for the special attack, it's pretty flashy, but he doesn't think the damage is very high. It feels like it's just scratching the surface on the skeleton puppets.
He feels that the only advantage is the range.
But now that he has two dodge chances, he feels that dodging the monster's attacks shouldn't be a problem.
Full of excitement, Ben started a new game, but soon he noticed some differences. That is, at the beginning of the game, there was a god's blessing placed in front of him.
"Sure enough! That must have been a plot kill before, right?" Ben laughed happily.
The god in front of him was still the familiar Zeus. But after talking to him, Ben showed a surprised expression.
'Young nephew, hello. Most importantly, my blessing and power will eventually help you find your real home.'
Ben originally thought that the blessing dialogues of the NPCs in the game should all be the same, but he didn't expect them to be different?
Moreover, Ben also noticed this time that the skills appearing in the interface were still in three directions.
Lightning attack, thunder rampage, and thunder shot, respectively corresponding to the attack, projectile, and special attack modes.
But this time he still chose the lightning attack. He had experienced it before, and the effect looked very cool.
Chopping with sparks and lightning is extremely cool.
The first few rooms were not too difficult, and when he reached the third room, Ben encountered another god: Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
After the dialogue, several different options appeared, corresponding to projectile, dash, and a summoning blessing called Aphrodite.
Ben didn't think too much and instinctively chose the last one.
It's not because this blessing had more words, but because the description looked really awesome!
Accumulate a god power bar, and then you can summon Aphrodite to shoot a charm arrow to turn the opponent into a traitor.
At the same time, consuming all the god power bar actually has as much as 2500 points of damage. Isn't this invincible?
How awesome!
So Ben chose this assistance skill without any hesitation.
After making the selection, Ben saw a progress bar added below his health bar UI in the lower right corner. It was divided into four stages.
Obviously, accumulating a progress bar allows you to use it once.
Moreover, the fuller the progress bar, the better the effect.
But soon Ben discovered a very crucial problem.
"Damn, this god power bar even resets to zero?" In the previous room, through attacking and taking damage, Ben accumulated a god power bar but didn't use it.
Ben in the game looked pained. He thought that the god power in this god power bar could be accumulated and saved for fighting the BOSS.
But now he's being told that the god power in this god power bar can only be used in the current room? And it's completely cleared afterward?
Ben was speechless after discovering this mechanic.
Then what's the point of this?
He didn't even go to the rooms with the centaur's heart that increases health, in order to get more keys and unlock new weapons.
Now he only has 50 health. It's definitely not realistic to accumulate the god power bar by getting hit.
"Hey! A shop. I wonder if they sell health in there!" Ben looked at his eighty coins and the next shop room, and couldn't help but feel some anticipation.
He knew that some god's blessings would appear in the shop room.
It's just a bit expensive, costing 150 gold coins.
He definitely can't afford it, but now he's concerned about health.
Although there is still a chance to survive with Dead Outlast, this thing is saved for fighting the BOSS. Of course, he wouldn't use it if he could avoid it.
With some anticipation, Ben walked into the shop room, and then saw some food similar to fries and coke.
He directly chose to buy it and gained a lot of health.
But when he looked at a strength pomegranate and a blessing from Zeus next to it, Ben showed a regretful expression.
He really wants it!
But he doesn't have money.
But at this time, Ben showed a surprised expression.
Because he saw a bag of money in the iron box behind Charon.
What's going on? He didn't see it when he visited the shop before!?
Ben was shocked when he got closer.
'Borrow 300 gold coins from Charon's money bag'
"Damn! I can still borrow money? Did I run into a hidden plot? My luck is too awesome. Am I the chosen one?" Ben looked surprised. This is simply wonderful!
He was just thinking about needing money, and now he can borrow 300 bucks from Charon.
He guessed that this should be a kind of loan with high interest, like borrowing money in "Animal Crossing."
It's just that maybe "Hades" the game, will be more harsh later.
For example, if you borrow 300 gold coins, then you will not be able to get gold coins later, and you must repay the debt.
But what does that matter?
Now that he's borrowed money, he can directly strengthen one skill and buy a god's blessing!
With a bright smile, Ben decisively reached out his sinful little hand to Charon's money bag.
And at that moment, urgent and passionate background music sounded.
Charon in front of him let out an angry roar. The next moment, the game scene switched to a platform located on lava. On the platform were also four golden money jars.
'Um, look, Charon, I can explain. I just, um, I'm just used to taking everything on my father's territory. I didn't mean to steal your stuff, I mean it!'
In the game, the Prince of the Underworld defended himself to Charon.
But even Ben outside the game could feel that weakness.
Sure enough, the next moment, Charon let out a roar.
Borrow money from him?
Then I'll send you home!
"Screw you! It's just borrowing 300 bucks from you! Do you really have to! You won't even give me 300 bucks?!" Ben looked depressed.
Charon's damage is simply explosive!
He hit him once, and he was almost instantly killed when he was near full health.
So after surviving with Dead Outlast, he didn't struggle with his second life and directly chose to lie down.
He still didn't see the BOSS of the first level and was directly sent back home.
But the most speechless thing for Ben was not this, but the ridicule when he talked to Hades after being sent home by Charon.
'Ah... just came to confirm, brat, according to the latest report submitted... you tried to steal something from under Charon's nose? And you were killed in the end? Even for you, that's extremely disgraceful.'
'Um... I was borrowing, not stealing, okay? And why has no one ever told me that Charon is such a ruthless character? I thought people who row boats all day must have a good temper.'
"This game is so hard!" Ben couldn't help but sigh.
And at the moment when his voice fell, Zack on the other side also sighed the same thing: "Yeah! It's so hard! I haven't even beaten the first BOSS. By the way, Ben, have you beaten it yet?"
Hearing Zack's words, Ben froze slightly, and then picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"I haven't beaten it either. It's really too powerful. But although I always die and can't beat the monsters, I have to say that it's still pretty fun to play!" Ben subtly changed the subject.
He didn't lie! He really hasn't beaten the BOSS!
He hasn't even seen it, how could he have beaten it?
