The Indescribable Diary

Chapter 44: He did it! He did what we dared not to do!

“Wow, the attack began without any prompt! Why hasn’t the Hound come yet!”

He couldn’t run. There was no way he could run after being absorbed. Star Color would absorb attribute points. This was why it was given the name Life Predator.

Holding the Tai Sword, Yu Yi slashed at Star Color. The Tai Sword swung through the ball of light and cut away a bit of starlight.

[Your opponent did not dodge]

[You cannot damage it]

[You have received a Temporary Attribute Reinforcement and recovered some HP and MP. Restored after battle! Any points above the upper limit will be sacrificed to the gods!]

[. r1d3 = 3, its intelligence has been reduced by 3 points. This will not recover with time!]

Damn? Did it really work?

Looking at his attribute list, the attribute points that were absorbed had returned in an instant. At the same time, the Star Color suffered a loss of 3 intelligence points. This was considered an intelligence-lowering attack.

“Damn! This was so good! Come on! Let’s fight! Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!”

Every time the Star Color attacked, Yu Yi was able to return the blow. The fact that it wasn’t turn-based was so good! In this case, even if the occasional attack fails, he could rely on quantity to make up for it! Also, the intelligence-lowering attack could effectively stop the Star Color from using a psychological attack. As long as the Star Color didn’t use magic, Yu Yi was undefeatable!

Unfortunately, this advantage was only effective against the Star Color. The Star Color could turn its body translucent and grab the investigator. However, not only did this not deal damage to Yu Yi, the connection between the Tai Sword and Yu Yi’s body allowed Yu Yi to escape the fate of falling from the sky. This meant that the Star Color did not threaten Yu Yi at all.

The battle had become a stationary fight. Although the Star Color wished to leave occasionally, it was slow-moving and attached to Yu Yi, which made it hard for the Star Color to escape. This highly-efficient Life Predator had met its match for the first time.

“KP! I want to charm the Star Color!”

Yu Yi said this to the KP while preventing the Star Color from escaping midair to avoid his attacks. This was mainly because the Star Color’s HP was N/A, which meant that it had infinite health. There wasn’t the possibility of killing the Star Color in the first place. In fact, it could only be expelled or jailed by an electromagnetic field. In this case, Yu Yi might as well wrap the Star Color up and take it home! He had an evil god at home anyway!

[I’ve heard that you liked to charm your opponents! Hmph, the Willpower of the Star Color is quite high!]

[. rd = 18, Success!]

[Willpower Resistance! Success! Charm failed!]

Yu Yi heard the KP’s prompt. His charm had failed completely. This was because the Willpower of the Star Color was quite high. If Yu Yi wanted to charm it, he would need to go through a Willpower resistance with the Star Color. However, the Willpower of the Star Color was higher than Yu Yi’s. Although he didn’t know by how much, it was a fact that a mature Star Color’s willpower would be at least 10 points higher than his.

“So your Willpower is too high… Nevermind! I’ll bleed you dry before the Hound comes!”

Yu Yi’s set of attack strategy could only be used against low-damage enemies like the Star Color. If he was up against the Hound, attacking it directly would pretty much cause him to GG. What surprised Yu Yi even more was that this Ceremonial Tai Sword was effective even against the Star Color! How should he put this… Perhaps, following Yuming wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

He swung the Tai Sword at the Star Color continuously. Yu Yi was glowing at this point. He was too close to the Star Color. It could be said that he was almost in direct conflict with the Star Color. A face to face fight!

After a few back and forths…

[. rd = 18, Martial Arts check success]

[Your opponent did not dodge]

[You cannot damage it]

[You have received a Temporary Attribute Reinforcement and recovered some HP and MP. Restored after battle! Any points above the upper limit will be sacrificed to the gods!]

[. r1d3 = 1, its intelligence has been reduced by 1 point. This will not recover with time!]

Once again, Yu Yi reduced his enemy’s intelligence. He panted. “Damn it, you’re absorbing even slower than me! Give me a few more rounds, and I’ll suck you dry!”

Looking at his attribute list, Yu Yi was about to bleed the Star Color dry, in all senses of the word. It was right that the Star Color was absorbing Yu Yi’s attribute points and HP, but Yu Yi was able to absorb them right back. Additionally, since the battle wasn’t turn-based although it was a TRPG game, there was a pattern to the enemy’s attacks. The Star Color couldn’t dodge Yu Yi’s counter-attacking swings too. Not only that, but the Star Color’s intelligence was also about to hit zero… The rule for the intelligence of the Light of the Stars was 4d6, so the maximum value was only 24 points.

The Ceremonial Tai Sword given by Yuming was really… It was really such a BUG! With this sword, there wasn’t even point in expelling the Star Color! In fact, he could use the Star Color as a permanent battery! Why would he absorb cats when he could absorb the Star Color! I’m going to suck the Star Color up so hard!

“I failed just now, so I’m going to try again! KP? Is there a lot of Willpower left in the Star Color? Haha! I’m going to charm it!”

[Damn it. I’ve had enough of you!]

“As long as there is sensory perception! Not just Star Color, I’ll even charm the tentacles!”

[. rd = 5… slight Great Success… Wow?! Don’t scare me! You’ve kidnapped your own KP’s NPC. Is that not enough? Are you here to kidnap my BOSS too?!]

“Stop your nonsense! Willpower resistance!”

[Willpower Resistance failed… What was the point! You’ve sucked it dry!]

“That’s right. Now, this Star Color is mine!” Yu Yi reached out and touched the ball of light. There wasn’t any feel to it apart from a slight dampening.

[FNNDP! Luck check! Success… Nevermind. I’ll just give this Star Color to you. It’s useless now anyway.] Looking at the Star Color, with its life squeezed out, one could only say that this game was too extraordinary. Nevermind, I still have the Hound. If you can’t get past that, you’ll have to return the Star Color anyway.

“Not really useless. I’ll let Yuming raise it. Perhaps, I can use it as a body double.”

Kidnapping the Star Color! Damn, wasn’t this the dream!

[He did it! He did what we didn’t dare to do! It really was the Yu Yi, who could rely on his face for the entire game!] [APP full value, best in the world!]

Fengye, who was watching the entire time, made the YES gesture. Huahua, who was also watching, hung her jaw open in disbelief.

Just as Yu Yi was about to pack up, a barking noise reverberated in his ear. The KP’s dice rattled. After a hidden dice roll, a new creature appeared in the dark church.

“Good. Let’s begin round 2!”

Since Yu Yi hadn’t actually left the battle, his attribute points had not disappeared. Looking at his strength of more than 30 points, Yu Yi stretched his arms before him, while his other hand grabbed the Tai Sword. He glanced at the creature, which has yet to reveal itself from the darkness. “It’s time for punishment, baby!”

The Star Color, which was previously charmed, appeared above Yu Yi’s head. The beautiful colors became translucent and dashed towards the Hound, conjuring itself into a humanoid shape.

[This was a substitute attack!!]
