“My goodness, this kiting is crazy!”
“Wow, you killed half of them already! Keep at it!”
“You’re almost dead, quick, consu potions!”
“Alright, he’s recovered. Don’t go there, there’s many monsters there!”
The players watching on were gasping and yelling seemingly more invested than Zou Zhuo himself.
Zou Zhuo was frantically tapping on the keyboard and mouse, finally defeating the monsters after a bit of a struggle.
There were many yellow equipnt following the death of the golden enemies, along with many gold and potions.
“My goodness!”
The on-lookers were getting increasingly animated.
Zou Zhuo also breathed a sigh of relief as he almost scread from how much he exerted just to defeat the monsters. They would always appear in bunches, and often provide a good scare in dark narrow dungeons like these.
Zou Zhuo felt quite good about himself when he equipped three pieces of yellow equipnt.
“Charge into the cathedral and capture Leroic!”
Zou Zhuo continued playing enthusiastically with such a huge ambition in mind.
He was finally about to face Skeleton King Leoric after nearly two hours of playing.
This took quite long because Chen Mo increased the difficulty to prevent players from cruising through the ga. Zou Zhuo was also the type of player to search through the entire dungeon before progressing through the ga, which further increased the ti required.
Back at the town, Zou Zhuo repaired his equipnt, organised his inventory, and bought so healing.
Zou Zhuo took a deep breath before using a waypoint to teleport to the third floor of the cathedral in search of the Royal Crypt.
The room was completely empty, void of any monsters, except for a two-handed sword in the middle of the room.
Leoric’s sword.
Zou Zhuo clicked on the sword and several illusions appeared around the Demon Hunter recreating monts before Leoric’s death.
The Demon Hunter continued forward. The crypt looked abandoned for hundreds of years, but Leoric’s insane voice still echoed in the walls.
All of a sudden, Leoric’s silhouette appeared in front of the Demon Hunter.
“You dare to bring the warmth of life into my tomb?!”
Following the Skeleton King’s howl, pillars were activated and countless skeletons awakened, charging at the Demon Hunter!
“My goodness!”
Zou Zhuo quickly commanded the Demon Hunter to roll around to dodge attacks while releasing a flurry of bolts to defeat the small skeletons.
“This ga is actually quite exciting,” Zou Zhuo said as he breathed a sigh of relief.
Diablo had many more monsters and were much tightly packed than Warcraft. Although there was only one playable character, there was still a certain amount of skill involved in the combat due to the large amount of skills the character has.
After navigating various obstacles, he finally reached the Crypt of the Skeleton King.
Most of the crypt had been weathered and corroded as the Demon Hunter only left one path forward.
After clearing out a few swarms of skeletons, he finally reached the Skeleton Keep.
Leoric’s corpse was on the throne in a spacious hall. All that’s left of the body was the skeleton, in the sa position as it was when he was assassinated.
Zou Zhuo clicked on the corpse, placing Leoric’s crown onto the skeleton.
The screen shook and countless sources of ominous green light gathered on the Skeleton King. Pieces of armour started attaching themselves to the skeleton, before the skeleton finally picks up the mace from the ground.
The Skeleton King woke up following maniacal laughter. He stood up, looking straight at the Demon He with flas in his eyes.
“My goodness, it’s a boss!” The players surrounding Zou Zhuo had their eyes wide open as they feared they missed sothing.
Zou Zhuo quickly tried to gain so distance between them as he feared he might be one-shot.
Leoric’s abilities weren’t too complicated as he was the first boss, with multiple swings of his mace and summoning skeletons being the two noteworthy abilities.
As Zou Zhuo was playing Demon Hunter, he definitely couldn’t trade face to face with the Skeleton King. He kept using his abilities to create a gap and attacked the skeleton king using his rcenaries.
However, the Skeleton Keep had a lot of health. Zou Zhuo would lose half his health if he was greedy in trying to get a few more hits in and could die at any mont he failed to dodge an ability. Zou Zhuo gave it a hundred and ten percent of his focus in his attempt to beat the boss.
“He’s about to attack again, be careful!”
“Clear out the skeletons, they’ll cause trouble if they start gaining in numbers.”
“You can do it, he’s got a third of his health left!”
“This is so exciting!”
The viewers couldn’t help but be even more nervous than Zou Zhuo.
In the end, the Skeleton King shattered into pieces as he growled one last ti. His armour fell all over the place leaving behind gold and equipnt.
There was an audible ‘ting’ when an orange light appeared beside the Skeleton King’s corpse.
Zou Zhuo hovered his cursor over it, “Leoric’s Crown? Orange equipnt?!”
The on-lookers were shocked too.
“My goodness, this is the first orange equipnt right?”
“It looks so strong.”
“Take a look at the attributes!”
“Put it on first!”
Zou Zhuo inspected the crown before putting it on.
It was much better than the yellow helt from before as provided bonuses to vitality and dexterity. It also had a special attribute, “Increases the effect of any gem socketed into the helm by 100%”
“Increase the effect of gems by 100%? Doesn’t that an I can attach my yellow gems that increase drop chance for even more loot?
“I’m going to be rich!”
Zou Zhuo rrily returned to Tristram with Leoric’s crown on his head and an inventory full of loot.
“This ga feels great!”
“Yeah, although it’s in third person, it feels completely different to those ancient RPG gas I had in mind.”
“Killing monsters feel so satisfying too. Could it be that he was inspired by that RPG map in Warcraft?”
“This feels more fun than so of the larger RPGs. The atmosphere in particular feels great. It makes you look forward to combat.”
“It feels like a lot of attention has been given to abilities, equipnt, boss fights, and story. If this was in first person, it’d be one of the best gas!”
“Yeah, I don’t understand why it’s in third person.”
“We wanna play too, manager!”
The on-lookers surrounded Chen Mo begging to play Diablo.
Chen Mo passed them the harddrive, “Install it yourselves. There’s a co-op mode to try out too.”
