The longsword he gripped tightly in his right hand pointed diagonally at the ground, a rusted skull pendant hanging from the scabbard, and half a broken piece of armor stuck in his jawbone.
His helmet had no gaps that let in any light; the entire visor was a single, curved piece of black iron, with only a shallow vertical groove carved into the center of his forehead, within which flowed a very fine, dark red light.
His warhorse was also clad in custom-made black iron horse armor. The visor on its head completely covered its mouth and nose, leaving only two narrow slits in its eye sockets, through which a ghostly green light flickered. The horse's mane was not ordinary hair, but bundles of black iron thorns wrapped with thin iron chains.
"Damn, that's kind of cool!" Lin Tian was also impressed by the armor when he saw the true appearance of the Apocalypse Knight.
Just as Lin Tian was sizing up the Apocalypse Knight, something unexpected happened.
"So you've come here to kill me too?"
Although the question sounds like a rhetorical question, the tone is affirmative.
Lin Tian immediately became uneasy. Why could this Apocalypse Knight speak? Did he possess intelligence?
After thinking it over, Lin Tian finally spoke up: "You have wisdom?"
The Knights of Apocalypse didn't say a word, but charged straight at them on their warhorses.
Seeing this, Lin Tian didn't dare to be careless. The moment it charged, he immediately dodged to the side and took the opportunity to shoot an arrow at it.
The arrow struck the Apocalypse Knight with a clang, but did not cause it any damage.
"Immune to long-range weapons!"
Lin Tian immediately understood the situation, so he realized that he couldn't use the kite-flying method to fight it!
After eating another enchanted golden apple, Lin Tian began to engage it in close combat.
Lin Tian's attacks inflicted considerable damage on the Apocalypse Knight, quickly whitting away one-fifth of its health.
However, he was also seriously injured, and even eating enchanted golden apples repeatedly was of no use. The attacks of the Apocalypse Knights were too frequent, charging in waves at the drop of a hat, giving him no time to breathe.
However, this also proves that the Apocalypse Knight is indeed just an ordinary boss, without any intelligence or anything like that. He may only speak for special reasons.
Just as Lin Tian was about to perform gua sha on the Apocalypse Knight again, the Apocalypse Knight stopped charging and stood still. Suddenly, a green energy appeared above its head.
In the blink of an eye, the Apocalypse Knight's health bar was fully restored.
"This is ridiculous! The health regenerates so fast!"
Lin Tian was somewhat taken aback; how could there be such a broken skill!
But before he could complain, the Apocalypse Knight launched another attack.
He leaned back slightly, raised his hands above his head, and replaced his sword with a spear. His warhorse charged forward, and at the same time, the Apocalypse Knight's hands began to spin rapidly. A green flame appeared on his spear and spread outwards.
"Holy crap! A meteor shower!"
Upon seeing the skills used by the Apocalypse Knight, Lin Tian immediately came up with a name for the move.
Lin Tian hurriedly dodged the flames while also avoiding the charge of the Apocalypse Knights, which was extremely difficult!
The Apocalypse Knight ignored all that and used his charge skill again, charging towards Lin Tian.
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Tian was getting angry, and the fact that he could only avoid him was incredibly annoying.
He took out a bunch of medicine bottles and started pouring them down his throat, not caring what they were.
Before long, Lin Tian was covered in strange bubbles.
Seeing the Apocalypse Knight use its charge skill again, Lin Tian quickly dodged to the side, then picked up the Nether Alloy Axe and swung it at the knight.
With the boost from the power potion, he quickly reduced the Apocalypse Knight's health to two-thirds.
Just as he was about to press his advantage, the Apocalypse Knight's warhorse leaped back, putting some distance between him and Lin Tian.
At the same time, a burst of green energy once again emerged from the top of the Apocalypse Knight's head.
Seeing this, Lin Tian immediately took out a recovery potion and a damage potion and threw them at it. Since he was unsure whether the damage potion would work, he threw a recovery potion in succession.
At the same time, he charged toward the Knights of Apocalypse at an extremely fast speed.
As expected, the damage potion had little effect on the Apocalypse Knight, but the recovery potion interrupted its recovery, though only for a moment.
Seeing that it was effective, Lin Tian quickly threw a large number of recovery potions at the Apocalypse Knight. At the same time, he also came to the side of the Apocalypse Knight and swung his axe at it a few times.
After this combo, the Apocalypse Knight only had half of his health left.
Before Lin Tian could even feel happy, five castle guards appeared around him and charged towards him. These castle guards were much faster than the others, almost as fast as zombies and little white rabbits, but they still had a hard time catching him.
Just when Lin Tian felt victory was within his grasp, a Naga, whose entire body was illusory, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knocked him away, crashing right near the castle guardian.
As expected, Lin Tian was once again attacked from both sides by several castle guards and died again.
Lin Tian, who had been resurrected, was pleased to see that the Apocalypse Knight had not disappeared. He praised himself for his cleverness in setting his spawn point here.
But when I looked at the Apocalypse Knight again, I found that its health bar had been fully restored.
"..."
What's the difference between this and replaying it?
Left with no other option, Lin Tian had to engage in a tug-of-war with it once again.
Soon, Lin Tian had reduced the Apocalypse Knight's health bar to half.
This time, he was wary of his surroundings, fearing that another Naga would come and knock him away.
To his surprise, there was no danger targeting him this time.
Three shields appeared around the Apocalypse Knight, who then hurled his spear at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian couldn't dodge and was pierced by the spear. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Lin Tian precisely.
Lin Tian died again.
........
After another series of twists and turns, Lin Tian died nearly six times before finally figuring out the second-stage skill of the Apocalypse Knight.
That's right, Lin Tian called the Apocalypse Knight when its health was reduced to half the normal level the second stage, because once its health was reduced to half the normal level, the Apocalypse Knight had an incredible number of skills!
Not only will it summon castle guardians and Naga, but it will also throw spears that attract lightning, and these spears are unavoidable! You can only block them with a shield!
In addition to these, the second phase of the Apocalypse Knight has a significantly enhanced healing ability, restoring almost one-twentieth of its health every second!
It can also summon meteorites or fireballs from outer space, which is absolutely disgusting!
However, the Apocalypse Knight at this stage has a weakness: it cannot move. It will stay in place and use these skills, so you can defeat it as long as you get close.
Lin Tian also sacrificed six lives to figure out all these skills, and finally reduced its health bar to only a quarter.
Just as Lin Tian was about to kill the Apocalypse Knight in one fell swoop, the Apocalypse Knight suddenly emitted a bright light, blasting the unsuspecting Lin Tian away.
When the light disappeared, Lin Tian noticed that only one Apocalypse Knight remained in the same spot; the warhorse was gone!
Just as Lin Tian was wondering why his warhorse was missing, the Apocalypse Knight spoke again: "You're quite good."
After saying that, he instantly teleported in front of Lin Tian and smashed Lin Tian's head with a punch.
.......
When he was resurrected, Lin Tian looked at the Apocalypse Knight's full health bar and became increasingly devastated, while his eyes flashed with madness.
Through his first death, Lin Tian learned about the speed of the third-stage Apocalypse Knight.
Through his second death, Lin Tian learned about the explosive power, strength, and defense of the third-stage Apocalypse Knight.
After his third death, Lin Tian learned about one of the abilities of the third-stage Apocalypse Knight.
.......
After his eighth death, Lin Tian mastered all the abilities and basic physical attributes of the Apocalypse Knight.
"Hehehehe~ Hahahahahaha!!!"
Lin Tian laughed loudly, his arms outstretched, his expression one of madness.
After a total of twenty-one deaths, he finally cleared the Twilight Forest!
.......
Chapter 56 Equivalent Exchange and Endless Greed.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: [Sweep Away the Twilight!]"
Please select the two modules you wish to unlock: [ ][ ]
Although Lin Tian, who was laughing wildly, heard the voice in his mind, he ignored it.
Having just personally killed the Knight of the Apocalypse, he felt every cell in his body cheering with joy, even feeling as if he were the ruler of the world, and that he could resurrect infinitely, which made his expression even more ferocious.
[A Leisurely Stroll Through the Mortal World: Lin Tiange.]
[A Leisurely Stroll Through the Mortal World: Lord Lin Tian?]
[A Leisurely Stroll Through the Mortal World: Lord Lin Tian!]
[Wandering in the Mortal World: Has Your Excellency fallen into that state again?]
[Wandering in the Mortal World: Is this a side effect of resurrection...?]
At this moment, Lin Tian had entered a state of madness, laughing wildly and making almost no sound, waving two lower-realm alloy swords around.
Perhaps Zhongli's voice really affected him, because Lin Tian's steps were getting closer and closer to the edge of the platform, while he was also taking off his lower-realm alloy armor piece by piece.
Finally, Lin Tian stood on the edge of the platform, laughing loudly, and jumped off.
........
Lin Tian, who had been resurrected, covered his head with one hand. Although he was not in pain, he still felt a little dazed.
"I didn't expect it to end like this. It seems that having Steve's physique alone isn't enough. He only gained a powerful physical body, but not a powerful mental strength!"
Lin Tian also discovered a weakness in himself. In the original game, Steve would also suffer from negative buffs such as nausea and vomiting. It seems that he still lacks mental training.
However, there are no special methods to cultivate one's spirit or state of mind right now, so we can only put it aside for now and wait until the corresponding modules are unlocked or someone specializing in this area joins the group.
[Lord of the World: It's alright now. I was a little mentally unstable just now, but I'm fine now.]
[Wandering in the Mortal World: Is that so? That's good.]
Zhongli certainly didn't believe Lin Tian's words, but since he said so himself, it was none of her business.
After replying to Zhongli, Lin Tian focused his attention on the system.
