Chapter 66 66: The Nightless City's Lecher

"I'm done! I'm not playing anymore! This is f*cking impossible for a human to play!"

In the Shark Stream Room, after being one-shot by Gawain's flaming sword energy for the forty-sixth time in a row, PD completely broke down, ripped off his VR headset, and slammed his hand onto the table.

"80% permanent damage reduction, plus full-screen fire basic attacks! Even if you gave me ten Command Spells to max out my team's HP and revives, I still couldn't f*cking outlast this gorilla!"

PD's wail was also a true reflection of the entire Blue Star gaming community at this moment.

The [Sacred Round Table Realm] had been open for a full day, and the millions of players across the entire network were being completely blocked by this "Nightless City Gorilla" standing at the gate of the Holy City, with the clear rate remaining at an eye-searing 0%!

Even those strategy content creators on the Global Network Forum who prided themselves on being tactical masters had collectively fallen silent.

In the face of such unreasonable damage reduction stats, any ground defense line was as fragile as paper.

However, just as the entire network fell into complete despair and the big companies' shills started seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble by claiming the "stats were broken"...

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, his eyes bloodshot, was staring intently at the settlement screen in front of him.

[Mission Failed (104th attempt)].

His name was Kiyoshi.

And on the Youxing Network, he possessed an ID that countless players worshipped—[White Night].

In front of the holographic screen, drafts of various armor calculation formulas and attribute affinity charts floated densely, and several empty cans of energy drinks were scattered across the table.

"Everyone on the forum is waiting for an official nerf, thinking this is an insurmountable wall of stats..."

Kiyoshi rubbed his temples and pushed up the glasses on his nose. Although he was exhausted, his eyes flashed with an extremely sharp, rational light,

"No, although Old Thief Kirito has a twisted sense of humor, he would never design a truly unsolvable dead end. Especially since this is the main story, not a high-difficulty challenge."

"I tried it with Mata Hari earlier; the Charm skill works, which means Gawain is susceptible to hard crowd control. But his damage reduction is too high. With just control and no damage output, the defense line will still be worn down in the late game."

He opened the Da Vincis Workshop encyclopedia database and set the filter conditions for Servants to: "Ranged," "High Ground," "Control," and "Special Damage Bonus."

"Since both physical and magical base damage are reduced by 80%, brute forcing it is definitely a dead end. Then I'll just have to find an 'independent multiplier' that can ignore his standard stats!"

After several hours of comparing and calculating like looking for a needle in a haystack, Kiyoshi's slender fingers suddenly stopped on the screen, resting on a very inconspicuous 3-star Archer whose art style was even somewhat petite and cute.

[Euryale].

"[Noble Phantasm: Goddess's Sight]. It comes with [Male Special Attack] and has a Charm effect..."

A fanatical curve of breakthrough finally appeared at the corner of Kiyoshi's mouth.

"It's you."

For the entire night that followed, Kiyoshi did not sleep.

He frantically fished for cards in the friend gacha, grinded materials in replayable stages, maxed out Euryale's level and skills, and then threw himself back into that despair-inducing Gawain defense battle.

After experiencing yet another failure due to incorrect timing of skill activation...

Six o'clock in the morning.

Kiyoshi finally pressed the Enter key, uploading a combat clear video to the Global Network Forum that had been carefully edited, condensed from countless trial-and-error attempts, and contained no nonsense.
