Chapter 148: Can Soul Five bring about ideological liberation?
Dahl felt like a big, black pot was placed on his back.
Even though no one in the strategy group was a mean person, Dal's inner sense of responsibility was condemning him, and his back was bent.
Looks like a pilgrim.
The two gray wolves noticed that he was in a bad mood and ran over to rub against him.
Leon patted his shoulder without saying anything. Sometimes comfort between men just needs to be that simple.
"I have a guess," he looked at everyone and said, "The strength of the monsters here will change with our strength. I noticed something was wrong since yesterday."
Yesterday, he tried to separate from Drew in the subsequent level-breaking process, but the monsters on Leon's side remained the same strength, while the difficulty on Drew's side became lower.
Just two people alone are not convincing enough, but combined with today's experience, it is enough to prove that the strength of the monsters here will change according to the strength of the adventurers, and will definitely change according to the strongest.
What if a child or an old man is thrown in? Will the monster become disabled?
He had thought about this problem, but he always felt that the Thane Dungeon would not be so kind.
After Leon's explanation, everyone realized why it was so difficult to fight just now - it was all because of the Sword Master.
"Then let's just be together," Malu said, "Even if the monsters become stronger, they will probably be based on the strength of the boss or Dal."
"Hey, me?" Dahl pointed at himself. How could he be compared with "Lion" Leon?
"Be more confident, young man, you are very strong," Leon gave him a thumbs up, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
After some discussion, everyone set off again.
Time ticked by, and more than ten minutes later, everyone returned.
Leon said gloomily: "The guess is wrong. The strength of the monster is enhanced according to the combined strength of all members."
With five people attacking together, the result is that the monster is still very strong.
"Is this forcing us to explore alone?" Drew thought of this possibility.
Yesterday, when he entered the dungeon alone, he found that the skeletons in the test level after the big tombstone had not only been weakened in strength, but also greatly reduced in number, with only a dozen left. He could deal with it after thinking about the tactics.
"Two or three people may be able to team up and win," Leon looked at Dahl and said, "How about the two of us join together?"
"You two? Boss, are you crazy? Are you sure the monster won't become stronger suddenly?" Malu asked in surprise.
"Appropriate challenges are good," Leon shrugged, but a challenge that is too strong is meaningless.
"Okay. I haven't had any activity for a long time." After some thought, Dal chose to accept Leon's invitation.
The two of them clapped their hands, smiled at each other, and their eyes were full of anticipation.
Fuck it, you two are not going to perform some gay shit in front of me, are you?
There was something wrong with the way Malu looked at them.
Finally it was decided that Leon and Dal would form one group, and the rest would form another. If the three of them still couldn't beat the team, they would continue to split up.
Once again entering the pigeon level, this time they had no humanity in their hands and no way to obtain blessings from the tombstone, so they had to enter the next level.
From this perspective, the soul-sucking ghosts that must be fought every time seem more like they are here to kill people - in fact, they are also screening the strength of those who enter the meat pigeons during the testing phase.
I miss you, soul sucker.
Faced with the "clacking" skeletons, without the hindrance of [Bone Revival] and the enhancement of Japar, Leon and Dal found it much easier to deal with them and quickly passed this level.
It’s time for the exciting blessing selection session. I don’t know what Leon chose, but he seems quite satisfied.
When it was Dar's turn, he was a little nervous, fearing that a few more deceptive blessings would come out.
However, what appeared before him was somewhat different.
[Successors of the Undead Corps, accept this blessing from the wolf's blood]
[Receive Blessing: Abyss Watcher]
[When fighting against the creatures of the abyss, you will be as brave as your ancestors. The deeper you are eroded by the abyss, the more potential you can unleash.]
Dahl automatically received this blessing, and no other options appeared.
He came back to his senses from his surprise and wondered if the wolf blood in his body had triggered something, causing him to receive the blessing of wolf blood?
The tomb area and the Faran Fortress are connected by the Firelink Shrine, which is not far away. There is also an abyss eruption here, so it is not impossible that the Faran Undead Corps came here to fight.
So it is reasonable that as a guard of Fran, he can receive the blessing of wolf blood!
When Dahl told Leon about this, the latter showed an extremely envious look.
It feels too fateful to receive the blessing of our ancestors in this chaotic place of time and space eroded by the abyss!
What if someone who has sworn an oath to become a Sun Warrior comes here, will he receive a blessing from Gwyn?
When Leon thought of this, he became eager to go and find the Sun Warrior before coming here again.
At first, Dal didn't feel much, but after hearing Leon say words like "destiny" and "blessing", he also became motivated, as if he was here to help the Undead Team settle the feud with the Abyss.
With high spirits as a driving force, the two fought more and more courageously until they met the first elite enemy.
[Knight Commander Aaron Corroded by the Abyss]
This is a humanoid enemy. Although it is much taller than Leon and the others, it is still a humanoid after all, and its fighting method must be different from that of beast-type enemies.
Knight Commander Aaron held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand but did not draw it out. Instead, he maintained this somewhat strange posture and slowly walked towards the two of them.
Knight Commander Aaron, from "Dark Souls II", belongs to the Knights of Aaron of the Ancient Iron King.
This knightly order was named after the ancient Iron King's close friend "Knight Aaron", and the swordsmanship learned by its members is also related to Knight Aaron.
In the background of the story, the knight Aaron comes from a mysterious oriental country, and uses oriental swordsmanship and weapons similar to the katana. No wonder Leon and the others have never seen them.
"This guy is very strong," Dar subconsciously put on a French street dance posture, "You left, I right, everyone together. Where are you going!?"
He was just about to discuss tactics with Leon, but when he turned around, he found that the other party had run away!
Dahl quickly chased after him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Fight," Leon looked at Dahl strangely and took out a gun from his backpack.
Scatter Crossbow! ?
"Why are you still carrying this with you?" Dal was surprised. He thought that Leon's backpack contained some potions or something, but he didn't expect it to contain such a large scatter crossbow.
That's not right. Isn't he a swordsman? Why is he taking out a crossbow?
"Just wait and see," Leon said with a reassuring smile, "This thing is still very useful against humanoid enemies."
He loaded the hypnotic crossbow with expert movements, as if he had practiced it countless times at home, and turned around to aim gracefully.
At this moment, Knight Commander Aaron also gave up his intention to draw his sword and slash. Sensing that something was wrong, he chased after him with his sword in hand.
But he made a bad move. What he absolutely could not do was to get close to Leon before the scatter crossbow was fired!
"call"
Leon exhaled a breath, pulled the trigger, and shot out the hypnotic crossbow along with the little bit of honor that remained in his heart as a swordsman.
Yesterday, when he suffered a brief mental abnormality after being stuffed with a mouthful of wine by Midir during the incident, he seemed to have realized something.
Victory is everything. The honor of a swordsman should have been forgotten long ago!
Adventurers should use any means necessary to achieve victory, and this is also recorded in the Sayings of Sword Saint Japar.
“Puff——”
Along with the sound of the arrow piercing the flesh was his laughter.
Nearly ten powerful hypnotic crossbow arrows hit Knight Commander Aaron at the same time, and the latter's movements suddenly stopped, but this dose was not enough to make him fall asleep, so Leon pulled Dal and continued to run. It seemed that he had to keep a distance from the enemy and make sure that the other party fell asleep before fighting.
This is undoubtedly a very safe way to fight, reducing the risk to a minimum, but
Dahl watched as Leon shot Knight Commander Aaron again, successfully putting the enemy into a deep sleep. He took advantage of the enemy's sleep to fly over and inflict some damage, then waited for the enemy to wake up and continued with the marathon.
Where is the swordsman spirit? Where is the collision of iron and the blending of blood?
The first time he saw this kind of fighting style, Dahl's worldview suffered a severe impact.
Then, with a complicated expression, he stopped, turned and walked towards Knight Commander Aaron.
"Where are you going?" Leon also stopped.
"Sorry, I still want to fight my own way."
Dal held the Fran sword in one hand and took out a dagger bought from the blacksmith shop in the other hand. He was imitating the fighting posture of the Fran Undead Squad.
Leon's fighting style is too weird, he can't accept it for the time being!
The thinking of people in this world is still a bit old-fashioned. No matter what profession, there is a set of "xx spirit" and "xx honor" that everyone is required to abide by. Dal is no exception and abides by the spirit of the swordsman, just like a good boy.
But now, a "bad student" has come forward and demonstrated a wave of benefits that undermine professionalism.
Dahl said his worldview was shaken and he was temporarily unable to think.
Looking at Dal who was fighting fiercely with Knight Commander Aaron using street dance, Leon glanced at the scatter crossbow in his hand and curled his lips.
What? It makes him look like he has made some big mistake. He was just following Japar's instructions.
He also took out his straight sword and joined the battle.
Leon's mentality just now was similar to showing off his interesting toys to a friend he just met. Since the other party doesn't like it, there's no need to show off.
Wrong thing to say. Don’t use it in front of the other person.
Even without using despicable tactics, the two men still defeated Knight Commander Aaron with their brute force. The opponent's unprecedented swordsmanship caused them to suffer at the beginning, but after gradually becoming familiar with it, they quickly won the victory.
Dahl was full of anticipation for the upcoming rewards, because Leon said that the Wolf Knight's painting fragments were obtained after defeating elite monsters.
Unfortunately, nothing appeared in the end, only a more advanced blessing.
There seems to be only one blessing of wolf blood. In the subsequent levels, Dahl only obtained the Tomb King series, which made him a little disappointed.
It is said that there will be fragments of a certain period of time, that is, events, but he has not encountered one until now, and the previous levels were all battles.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Dahl was actually very interested in the story of the Sen Dungeon.
After a short rest, the two opened the teleportation chest and entered the next level.
At this time, the event that Dahl had been thinking about finally happened.
[You traveled through the chaotic time and space, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a fragment of a certain period of time:]
[You are a brave knight who can walk in the abyss. You come to a certain place with your trusted companions to suppress the abyss. All the residents of the place are transformed by the abyss.]
[Fortunately, you found a few survivors surrounded by monsters, but they are facing the dilemma of being eroded by the abyss]
[Looking at the trembling survivors, you decide.]
