Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player



While fighting the Minotaur, Kaizen noticed that the monster had some attack patterns like any other creature, and realized that there was a time when the monster let its guard down. But even though the Minotaur had its weaknesses, the Minotaur's many powerful blows to the walls and floor created cracks so deep that they damaged the structure of the hall, and each time Kaizen dodged a blow, the place shook more and more because the Minotaur's blows were so powerful that they made everything shake.

Therefore, he had to find a way to stop the fight before the hall collapsed and ended everything. Then he had an idea. He observed that the Minotaur's main strike was the one where he raised his club high before hitting the ground very hard, projecting a shockwave.

Using this information, Kaizen waited for the right moment, and when the monster raised its club to strike again, he ran towards the Minotaur and jumped towards the club, using his momentum to jump to a height above the monster's head, and struck the creature's wrist with his sword.

  [You dealt 750 damage.]

The minotaur howled loudly as it felt the Eye of Storm rip its left wrist from end to end, severing the hand that held its only weapon. The creature staggered backwards, holding its bloody wrist with its remaining hand, as Kaizen took the opportunity to move behind the Minotaur and leap into the air with a volley, appearing behind the monster and striking it with another precise blow to the back of the head. This time, the blow was even more effective, and the creature fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Kaizen cautiously approached the fallen body, sword still in hand, ready to finish the Minotaur. But as he approached, he noticed something strange: a red glow in the center of the Minotaur's back. It was then that Kaizen realized how strange this whole scenario was.

First of all, where were the members of the Eye of Hermodr who were theoretically trying to capture the Minotaur?

eαglesnᴏνel Were the ones Kaizen and Linus had met along the way all of them?

No, it couldn't be, the Eye of Hermodr wasn't weak enough to easily succumb to an epic level creature.

What was really going on here?

While Kaizen was pondering this, he stepped over the back of the large Minotaur and noticed that an extensive health bar appeared at the top of his field of vision, only it didn't have a name on it, but several question marks. At the same time, he heard soft footsteps coming from behind him, from the direction of the large stone door at the end of the corridor.

Turning quickly to see who it was, Kaizen saw a small girl with blonde hair and very white skin. She was carrying a bizarre looking little stuffed animal that was all stitched up, and although this little girl did not look scary, she did not give the Psyker a good feeling.

"Oh... You defeated the Minotaur." She said, sounding a bit surprised. "You must be strong."

"You..." Linus said as he stood up in great pain. He looked very surprised as his eyes were wide. He then looked at Psyker and said, "Kaizen, run away now and leave her to me. This is not just any little girl, she is..."

Before Linus could reveal it, the little girl appeared at his side and slammed his head into the ground too hard to stop him from speaking. Her physical strength was monstrous, far beyond normal for someone of her size and physique. Kaizen was shocked by the strength of the little girl, and for a moment he was paralyzed, not knowing what to do. He looked at the life bar that appeared in his field of vision and noticed that there was a small skull icon next to the life bar, something he had never seen before.

What is this?" he thought, "Why is there a skull icon next to the health bar? I'm sure this little girl is a boss, but does that skull mean she's on a completely different level than the bosses I've faced before?

While he was distracted by his thoughts, the little girl approached him with incredible speed, and as Kaizen looked down, the little girl landed a blow on his stomach, throwing him backwards with overwhelming force.

In mid-air, Kaizen braced himself not to fall and managed to keep his feet on the ground, except that the blow instantly drained half of his life points. He staggered and recovered, raising his sword to defend himself. But before he could do anything, the little girl disappeared from his sight.

'Where did she go?' he wondered. 'She's too fast!

Then he felt a chill on his back and realized that the little girl was about to strike him from behind. He spun his sword, trying to hit her before she could hit him, but she dodged easily. The little girl was incredibly agile and seemed to be playing with him, as she let out a mischievous giggle.

"Hehehe! You're clever, Kaizen!" His thin voice was almost annoying.

The little girl did not move after deflecting Kaizen's blow and looked at Kaizen with a strange look and smile on her face. He felt an uncomfortable sensation in his mind, a headache, as if something was trying to penetrate his thoughts.

What is going on?' he asked himself.

But before he could concentrate on resisting, the little girl disappeared again and hit him from behind again, this time touching his shoulders and forcing him to his knees.

"Give up." The little girl's voice echoed in his head. "You can't beat me. I am stronger than you can imagine."

Kaizen struggled to stand, but his limbs were weak and shaking. He looked at the little girl, determined to find out what was going on, and as he glanced to his left with the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl smiling triumphantly.

"Do you want to know who I am? I am the one who ranks seventh among the ten bishops of the Eye of Hermodr, and I am going to turn you into my newest toy."
