The land of shadows, the graveyard without an owner.
Boom——!
boom--!
"Hmm...is there something wrong? This is not the territory of the Farlan Undead Team, right?" Thanos said while looking at the fog door in front of him.
After he withstood the attack of the "Crystalline Daughter" and was about to enter the "BOSS area" of the hero Guda, the door was sealed by the sudden appearance of heavy fog.
Not only that, behind the fog door, there was also a huge sound of metal collision that seemed like a battle.
"Theoretically, this kind of thing will only appear after Ashes fails to challenge the BOSS and is resurrected, but there is another possibility - someone else triggered the battle with the BOSS at this time." Thanos continued.
No messages appeared on the ground nearby.
"The NPC in Dark Souls will not act on its own. It will only perform a performance after the protagonist triggers certain specific events. Specifically, even if an event is triggered that someone wants to go somewhere, he/she will only perform the following actions.
When the fire refreshed the first time, he 'teleported' past, and it was impossible to see him/her walking there." Thanos waited for a while and found that there was still no message, and there was no sound of fighting inside the fog door.
When it changes, he raises his hand and presses it towards the thick fog: "Then, let me see what kind of 'performance' this is."
call--
The white mist suddenly surged up when Thanos reached out to touch it, completely covering his entire body, but it did not cause any delay in his actions.
However, in theory, there was only a thin layer of fog door. Even though he had already taken seven or eight steps, he still failed to penetrate it. However, the sound of metal collisions generated during the battle became louder.
After Thanos took a few more steps without changing his expression, a familiar old woman's voice slowly sounded:
"[...But, kings will definitely give up their thrones,]"
"[And the ashes of the fireless fire will come in droves,]"
"[That is a nameless, unpaid, and cursed immortal person,]"
"[Because of this, the ashes are so thirsty for the embers.]"
Accompanied by this "voice-over" that was like an introduction, Thanos finally walked out of the thick fog.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Guda beating the fire girl.
Boom——!
clang--!
Guda's appearance is not much different from what he has seen before. He is still over three meters tall, with a huge halberd, and thick armor that looks like a castle.
The huge sound of metal clashing was exactly the sound of his halberd hitting the ground when he attacked the fireproof girl.
The fireproof girl also had the same look as the previous black skirt and mask, but she had a spiral sword burning with flames in her hand. When facing Guda's attack, she kept dodging while looking for opportunities to rush forward and scratch Guda from time to time.
of armor all at once.
However, compared to Thanos, who is inconvenient to roll in a heavy helmet, she can roll, slide, circle back, and jump flexibly, making all Guda's attacks have no effect except hitting the floor.
"Dark Souls vs. Nier, one can't hit, the other can't be hit," Thanos, who was standing at the door, commented: "But the final result should be 2,... The fireproof girl wins, I guess the spiral on the ordinary Guda
The sword was inserted by her."
【Do you want to think about it?】A message appeared on the ground.
"Huh?" Thanos raised his eyebrows: "By the way, this is the hero Guda, and the spiral sword of the Unclaimed Cemetery..."
"Ah, Master Ashes——" At this time, the fireproof girl in the battle saw Thanos and greeted him from a distance.
"You can actually talk - no, before that, how dare you get distracted while fighting this guy?" Thanos picked up the golden sword behind him and rushed towards the battlefield.
boom--!
The moment the fire-prevention woman looked at Thanos, Guda suddenly attacked. He did not use the halberd, but directly rushed towards him with his huge body. The fire-prevention woman who was caught off guard could only raise her spiral sword to block it. As a result,
He was knocked off balance due to lack of strength, and stumbled backwards. Guda's impact was very fast, and he took this opportunity to swing his halberd and made a fierce sweep.
Boom!
The spiral sword broke in response.
The fireproof girl who was almost cut in half was carried away from the battlefield by Thanos by her collar.
"Lord Ashes!" the fireproof girl shouted, her tone sounded quite surprised, but her expression was hard to tell because she was wearing a blindfold.
"Ah... By the way, you can pick up the 'Broken Spiral Sword' in the sacrificial field of the Unowned Cemetery. Is it true that the fire-proof girl in this world is not strong enough?" Thanos put the fire-proof girl down and held up the gold.
The sword walked towards Guda, who had temporarily stopped because of the discovery of a new enemy.
"I'm very sorry, Master Ashes." The fireproof girl said weakly from behind.
"As for why she came here and was beaten by Guda, we can wait and ask. Now, let's bring this 'door god' down first." Thanos narrowed his eyes to observe Guda's movements.
"[I refuse to spread fire!]" Guda roared in a dull and reverberated voice.
"..." Thanos was stunned for half a second: "Although there are indeed a few bosses who can talk, it is really rare that Guda can talk."
"[I am the 'gravekeeper' who guards the 'ash cemetery' and prevents mindless ghosts from leaving,]" Guda continued to roar: "[I do not bear the responsibility of spreading fire!]"
"The First Fire is about to extinguish, but no one rings the big bell, and no Lord Ashes wakes up, so I have to find the strongest person I know to spread the fire..." The fire prevention woman explained in a thin voice behind Thanos.
"[I am not immortal. If I am killed, I will fall into eternal sleep.]" Guda responded.
"I have promised to fight side by side with you, and I will not let you die easily. Moreover, if the first fire goes out, the whole world will be destroyed, and you will still die!" The fireproof woman raised her voice slightly.
"[This is a lie! I have heard that after the First Fire is extinguished, it will enter the 'Deep Sea Age'. It will only be lightless, but not death!]" Guda also raised his voice.
"Do you think that kind of dark world is good?" The fireproof woman raised her voice again.
"[I will live!]" Guda responded.
"Even if I do it, I will..." The fireproof girl paused in the middle of her words and looked down at the broken spiral sword in her hand: "I'm sorry, Lord Ashes, if I knew you had woken up, I would not fight him."
"Okay, I know how you started fighting," Thanos shook his head and turned around: "I'll go with you to pass the fire, and let Guda continue to guard here."
"Thank you, Ashes - be careful!" the fire prevention girl turned to exclamation in the middle of her words.
During the previous conversation, Guda had quietly approached a certain distance. At this time, when Thanos turned to speak, he jumped directly with both hands and killed him: "[I am the gravekeeper! All ashes trying to leave the cemetery must pass through me.
Of--】"
Bang!
Thanos punched out without looking back, and the huge halberd that was about to hit him was deflected away. Guda, who had lost his weapon, was unable to stop himself in time, and fell down in front of Thanos with a bang.
Click—click!
Thanos made a heavy slash with his backhand, directly cutting open the thick heavy helmet that had been chipped away by the fireproof woman for a long time without any effect, and put the sword edge on Guda's thick neck: "What did you say?"
"[You are qualified... to leave the Ashes Cemetery...]" Guda did not dare to move.
"Hmph, continue your duties, 'Gravekeeper'." Thanos put away his sword, picked up the fire-proof girl who tried to kick Guda secretly, and walked towards the direction of the Fire Sacrifice:
"Well, if you think about it carefully, that guy is so easily infected with 'human pus', isn't it because of my sword attack?"
