To say that these gladiators are skin-changing monsters is not unfair to them at all.
Because no matter in terms of move ability or overall strength, they are almost identical to the black-haired warriors in the CN area. The only difference is their hair color and race.
Oh no, another little difference is that the short knife originally carried by the black hair has turned into a short thorn in the hands of the gladiator, and can be thrown out when necessary, which gives him a little bit of long-range attack capability.
However, compared to the Iga ninjas in the previous area, the strength of the Roman gladiators has declined overall, and they can basically only compete with black-haired warriors.
It can be seen from the familiar feeling on old Chen Qingbing's face that some core things cannot be changed by just changing the skin.
And since they don't have the high agility template of the Iga ninja with high movement speed and jumping, Luke's S-type elemental shotgun can be used again.
There is nothing to say about the battle on the road. The strength of the monsters is reduced and the human beings are full of firepower. Naturally, there is no way to survive. Soon, corpses are left on the ground waiting for Luke to go up and milk the cows. Counting the bonus of the jawbone helmet, it is as high as 55 % shipment rate made him happily replenish a wave of potions.
But when everyone came to the edge of the wall with a drop of 4 meters, and the current passage obviously required everyone to jump down, Luke couldn't help but stop on the edge for a while.
This scene triggered memories of Luke's childhood.
As we all know, when an action game on an old platform has a doubles mode, there is a high probability that the screen that should be loaded does not appear due to the desynchronization of the 1P2P action, which in turn creates an artificial pit that kills teammates. Case.
It is also commonly known as holding back people and dragging them to death.
The waterfall level in Contra, the Roman area in Double Dragon 3, and the ice-breaking level are all high-drop scenes that have a high probability of triggering Mortal Kombat.
These can be regarded as memories of Luke’s youth.
However, when it came to the actual scene, there was no such worry. Even the leapers and Joey, who Luke thought would be a little difficult, were able to withstand the impact of the height difference simply by relying on their physical fitness.
By the way, isn’t Joey’s physical fitness as a Pokémon trainer too good?
Or is it because he is a Pokémon trainer that he has such physical fitness?
Some images from the Pokémon Special appeared in Luke's mind.
Although this height difference was compared to the bamboo gun mechanism of the Ninja Mansion and was considered an obstacle to passage, it could only be said that it was not difficult at all. The group of people easily passed through and got into the simulated gladiatorial arena in front of them.
Almost at the same time, the Bigfoot Brave Group, which had just finished fighting with the Iga ninjas that spawned on the second floor of the Ninja Mansion, appeared at the entrance to the Ita area.
Looking at the corpse of the gladiator on the ground, they knew that they were one step too late.
However, at this time, the senior management of the Bigfoot Brave Regiment, who took over the position of temporary leader of Frogman 3, hesitated and did not immediately issue an order to continue the pursuit.
Because he could never catch up with the opponent's progress, he began to doubt that the real strength of Luke's group was not as simple as the guild records showed.
It is even very possible that they have grown due to the previous Contra incident, causing the existing information to no longer match, and they can no longer be viewed simply as E-class.
A powerful team of brave men also showed their kindness by helping to catch the culprit Cardboard Man, and solved the most critical problem of this incident for everyone in the Beast Cage Branch, allowing themselves and Frogman 3 The punishment within the group that No. 1 should have received has been significantly reduced...
It is actually no exaggeration to say that they are the benefactors of all the staff of the Beast Cage Branch.
Then should I give up the pursuit and return the favor as the tide goes?
Just when the senior executive was seriously thinking about whether he should change his action strategy next, Luke and the others had already seen the regional BOSS after several rounds of miscellaneous soldiers.
The name and character of this giant gladiator BOSS are meaningless, because he is actually Jim, the leader of the new Black Samurai who has changed his skin. At most, the "Flying Knee" move has been replaced by "Flying Kick", and there is nothing more. Others are more different.
But having said that, there is no doubt about the strength of this Gladiator BOSS. Judging from the size alone, it is an absolutely high-strength and high-physical super dark gold monster. It is a humanoid tank that is difficult to deal with even if it is swarmed.
However, facing this man, Luke directly expressed to everyone that he would be given a chance to challenge the gladiator.
Just by looking at the size, the Gladiator can fit two of them! This huge physical gap cannot be easily bridged!
But out of the trust that Luke had always shown, they still agreed that Luke would step forward to challenge, and were ready to provide support at any time.
But then their jaws couldn't close.
Because after Luke deliberately induced the BOSS's powerful flying kick attack through anger through body language, the two-meter-tall gladiator with muscles all over his body actually fell into the wall with half of his body!
"YES!"
Luke got up from the ground and made a gesture of clenching his fist in victory.
The giant gladiator BOSS stuck in the wall at this moment is not the kind of "Help, I'm stuck!" wall-type development.
In fact, the wall he was stuck in didn't have any holes that could allow even a finger to pass through. It was a thick, hard and complete masonry wall inside the BOSS room.
However, half of his body is now embedded in the wall, and he cannot break free no matter how hard he tries, just like what we usually see in Assassin's Creed.
Commonly known as, stuck BUG.
And it was a BUG caused by Luke on purpose.
Since in the Contra scene, the shooting mechanism can be used to block a bug that is close to infinite shooting, then the Double Dragon scene should naturally be able to block it as well.
Luke's stuck is a scene texture bug in Double Dragon 3, but normally only Jim in the USA scene and the giant gladiator in the ITA scene can get stuck.
The necessary conditions for catching the bug are a wall against the corner, and guiding them to use flying knees or flying kicks in the direction of the corner.
Luke did it at the cost of being covered in dust.
Originally, his flying kick should have passed over the head of Luke, who was lying on the ground, and kicked directly into the solid wall. Then he turned around and stepped on Luke's back to let him feel the pain of Batman. This kind of horror development of.
However, this foot sank directly into the corner wall as if it had missed the step, and half of the giant gladiator's body, which was unable to stop the car, also sank directly into it.
But when he tried to pull away again, he found that he seemed to be really built into the wall, and he couldn't get out no matter how hard he tried.
Looking at the little man who deliberately insulted me, he took out a stick like a bed leg from somewhere and smashed it directly at his exposed arm outside the wall!
Now Luke's human and NPC teammates were really stunned, and they all couldn't wait to get together.
They used the ordinary ninja swords that they had found on the monster ninja before to knock on the wall, trying to find the secret door, and some approached the Gladiator BOSS and tried to give him a kick or two.
With only one hand, one foot and head left to move, and still fixed in place, the BOSS's threat level was basically negligible.
But the person who wanted to follow the boss was stopped by Luke.
Because if you want to maintain this corner bug, there is another condition, that is, the intensity of the subsequent attack on the BOSS must not be strong enough to knock it to the ground. Once the opponent is injured and falls to the ground, the corner card will be ineffective.
It was also because of the existence of this condition that Luke didn't take out the S-stick. After all, he was still a bit good at physical attacks. If it were an elemental ghost, he would fall down after just a few hits.
Needless to say, this BOSS is really tough. Although he is stuck in the corner and only one arm and one leg can be used, those bulging arms and thighs that are thicker than the waist of a hot black girl are really resistant to beating. The arms alone When viewed sideways, it's almost like a shield.
The blunt blow of the scepter is neither painful nor itchy, and the sword can only break the surface layer, and it is difficult to cause deeper damage.
So Luke's attack target switched to the opponent's head.
No matter how much you train your legs and feet, the skin on the front of the calf facing the bone is the thinnest, and the pain will be the strongest when you receive a blow.
This gigantic gladiator like a little giant is indeed strong, but Luke's barbarian template is not a decoration. With his fighting instinct, Luke discovered that after being beaten many times, the gladiator tried to reduce the pain by adjusting the injured surface. , but Luke insisted on hitting the same place continuously.
Under the accumulation of pain, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Gladiator BOSS, and he finally broke down and shouted.
"Damn it! If you want to kill me, kill me and give me a good time!"
Although the voice was rich, one could also hear the full sense of grievance inside.
Compared with the monster soldiers who hardly need their own personal thinking, the BOSS unit is obviously more intelligent, especially when he has no choice.
When he heard BOSS shouting like this, Luke woke up from a dream and suddenly realized that his current behavior seemed inconsistent with his original purpose.
Because of the success of the bug, he happily forgot what he was supposed to do.
"Tell me! Where did you put the map of Cleopatra's Pyramid!"
Luke, who just remembered the map, yelled viciously at the giant man.
"What!? You're just here for the map?"
However, when he heard Luke's roar, the giant gladiator seemed to have seen some incredible scene, and his expression of being indestructible stopped and turned into a face of extreme surprise.
Luke nodded, looking noncommittal.
"...Then you should have said it earlier!!!"
Seeing Luke's reaction, the giant gladiator, whose calf was so swollen, let out an unprecedented cry.
