Chapter 382 New Episode: Shooting Sunshine Princess Down with an Arrow
The moment Small fell, Sid received the reward for his victory in the battle.
【Smaul's Soul】
[Smoo's soul is always hungry, and this greed has not subsided even after he became a knight]
[Legend has it that he was not chosen as one of the Four Horsemen because of his insatiable tyranny]
Only Smoo's soul?
Sid was a little surprised that Ornstein's soul was not there. He really wanted the dragon hunting spear.
After wondering for a while, he suddenly thought of a detail.
Smough has two ways to absorb the power of his comrades. One is that his comrades actively bump into him. This situation applies to when his comrades are still breathing but Smough is restrained and unable to pass through. The other is that Smough walks over and smashes Ornstein with one hammer.
Sid believes that this behavior should be absorbing the power of comrades, because no matter who Ornstein or Smough absorbs, their size will increase dramatically, and they can also use moves with the characteristics of the other.
So, a reasonable speculation was naturally put forward by him.
"Could it be that because Ornstein's power was absorbed by Smough, his soul will not appear?"
He successfully found the blind spot!
Sid looked at the soul in his hand, which was much larger than all the souls obtained by the adventurers so far, and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that he couldn't "collect them all" in just one battle, and he had to fight again.
But I can only come back next time to challenge the Royal City duo again.
Then again, the status of the Four Knights of the King is already very high, so why didn't Rudolf show up after the battle to refine our souls? Forget it, let's go to the Fran Fortress to look for them later.
Sid is now seriously injured, but his spirit is more excited than ever. If I have to describe this emotion, it is as if he thought he would have to restart the game, but ended up making an extreme counterattack and winning.
In this situation, who wouldn’t be excited!
At the same time, he also noticed the door that was slowly opening at the end of the venue. Since the painting world did not eject him after he defeated the duo, it meant that there was still a way to go.
"Solaire, we—"
He turned around and was about to invite this good brother and main force Big C who had played so many games with him to explore the next journey together, but he turned his head.
"You're disappearing!"
Solar, who appears in the form of a spirit, will naturally disappear after completing the mission of helping adventurers defeat the boss of the area. Both he and other Sun Warriors must abide by this rule.
Sid was shocked at first, but after he reacted he was just filled with emotion. Solar waved goodbye to him and looked cheerful.
I don’t know where we will meet next time, and what kind of story we will create.
".Praise the sun."
Just before Solar was about to disappear completely, Sid suddenly and very unskillfully struck the same pose of praising the sun, looking like he was thanking the other party.
However, this posture only lasted for one or two seconds before he quickly withdrew his hand, his old face turned red, and he seemed to feel a little ashamed.
Is this considered successful assimilation?
A little bit of shame made him unable to see Solar's reaction, but in the end, he still laughed out loud.
Sid couldn't help but cover his face and coughed repeatedly. After the laughter left by Solar completely dissipated, he patted his cheeks, regained his serious look, and walked towards the gate at the end of the venue.
Behind the gate is a spiral staircase leading upward. The higher you go, the brighter the sunlight becomes, and there is no feeling of gloom at all.
It was this warm feeling that allowed him to move forward boldly without worrying about encountering stronger monsters and being killed.
On the spiral staircase, the view suddenly opens up to a spacious hall. Behind the hall, a stone door carved with intricate patterns stands there quietly. The sun-like light flows on the door, and on both sides of the door, there are two corpses kneeling on the ground.
The corpses were charred and looked highly zombified, without any clothes, and no background story could be seen at all. However, they each held a golden light in their arms. Sid picked it up, one was the blessing of the goddess, and the other was a miracle.
【Sunshine Therapy】
[The saints who serve the Sunshine Princess are specially taught a miracle. The sunlight that falls can restore vitality to a large extent and to the surrounding people. Those who believe in the sun will become more heroic.]
[Gwynevera, the sunshine princess loved by all creatures, bestowed the grace of miracles upon many warriors, this is one of them]
[Those who make a vow with the princess will receive additional blessings when using this miracle]
"Sunshine Princess"
Cid remembered that there was a portrait of Gwynevere in Irithyll, and the appearance of sunlight healing and the goddess' blessing here was definitely not a coincidence, and it must have a suggestive color.
So maybe the Sunshine Princess is behind this door?
When his palm touched the door, he suddenly hesitated.
Entering Gwyndolin's fog door is considered blasphemy and will result in the oath being terminated. So would his entry into the room that is most likely the Sun Princess's room also be considered blasphemy? Although the Sun Warrior Oath seems to have nothing to do with the Sun Princess, it is hard to say that it will not be affected.
After pacing around the door for a few rounds and thinking, he took a deep breath and decided to push the door open.
The stone door was so large and heavy that he couldn't push it for a while.
After casting several buff-type spells on himself in succession, and with the help of the wizard's hand, the stone gate finally began to tremble.
“Boom.”
It was clearly a huge door made of stone, but it didn't feel cold to the touch, but rather a piece of warm jade.
A dim-looking room appeared behind the door, with the windows seemingly covered with gauze curtains, creating a mysterious feeling.
Sid took a step into the room, and suddenly found that his body was out of control and the scene in front of him was changing.
Trapped!?
No, this is entering the image.
After realizing what was happening, he breathed a sigh of relief and watched with interest what would happen this time.
After several flashbacks, Cid finally saw the protagonist this time, an undead man who was crossing the fog gate to the battle site of the royal city duo.
The armor on the opponent looked ordinary, as if there was nothing worth noting, but he was accompanied by Solar in spirit form. Solar's armor also looked nothing special at first glance, but he was very fierce in a fight, so this undead man should not be underestimated.
However, it turns out that in the video, Solar defeated the Royal City duo together with this person.
Sid remembered that Sean would often show in the video the scenes where some powerful bosses were defeated by someone else, and in the scenes shown, both Ashes and White Wolf had amazing skills.
So what about this immortal?
He might be disappointed, because the entire battle did not have any dazzling special effects or gorgeous holy light, and the image did not seem to show the entire battle scene, but instead kept flashing a few fragments.
The undead and Solar fought hand in hand like close comrades, the undead defeated Smough with his simple yet sharp martial arts, the undead and Solar competed for the final blow to Ornstein, and the two drank from the bottle of element in the ruined place after the battle.
The battle seemed to be over very quickly. Both men looked a little embarrassed, but they were mostly in high spirits after the victory.
“So fast!”
Xi De didn't see any fancy moves or dazzling special effects, only pure force and skills, giving him the feeling of an old-fashioned martial arts film.
Both sides in the battle are top masters, so the battle returns to its basics, with every move carrying the purest power.
Ornstein's thrust and Smough's crushing blow, these two "ultimate skills" that have sent adventurers back to the bonfire countless times, are just ordinary attacks in the battle with the undead, and the undead can even find an opportunity to counterattack.
What confused Sid even more was that the Solar in the image was much stronger than the one fighting with him. The Solar with him would be beaten up by the duo and would have some trouble coping, but the Solar with the undead was able to handle it with ease.
Solar and the undead, these two are simply the best match, one plus one is definitely greater than two.
After summing up, Xide felt that there might be something wrong with the configuration of his teammates.
That means he has a problem.
"I'm really sorry that my strength is not as good as that of the undead."
Although the battle process was not gorgeous, it was shocking enough.
If there are warriors watching, perhaps they can gain some insights.
"We should ask that old man Gapar to come and take a look. I'm a magician and I can't understand anything from this. It's a waste."
The image finally stopped flickering, the battle was over, and when the undead man walked into the room behind the stone door, he saw a huge...
Huge goddess!
"Wow." Sid seemed to have returned to his youth.
He had never seen such a woman in his life. The beautiful women he had seen were not as big as the one in front of him, and those with similar body shapes were not as beautiful as her.
"I was wrong before. This is what Gapar should see." He now had the urge to share the beautiful scenery with his good brother.
But I didn't dare to appear too obsessed, such as staring at the goddess, because that would be too disrespectful.
But I couldn't help but look at it twice more.
The goddess is huge, sitting on the golden throne of the royal city of Anor Londo, with her arms folded in front of her chest, her posture solemn and sacred. Her skin is as pale as the moon, emitting a soft halo, and her long brown hair falls to her waist like a waterfall, with faint light visible in her hair.
Her entire body was enveloped in a pale golden light, as dusk filtered through the dome, covering it in spots of colorful light.
[Undead hero, I am so glad that you have successfully overcome the test and come here. Come, come to my side.]
Even her voice was so gentle.
The undead half-knelt before the goddess and saluted, showing respect.
[Undead hero, my name is Gwynevere, daughter of King Gwyn, Princess of Sunshine]
[Ever since my father passed on the fire, I have been waiting for you]
[I will give you the royal weapon]
[I beg you to agree to one thing. Please become the successor of King Gwyn, inherit the world's fire, fill the royal weapon with your soul, and embark on the path of passing on the fire. In this way, I believe that the night of the world will come to an end, and the undead will no longer appear.]
Sid saw the Sunshine Princess handing an object that looked like a giant bowl to the undead. Was that the royal vessel? Filling the royal vessel with souls and then burning it, was this the way to pass on the fire?
He recorded everything he saw in his mind.
【Will you make a vow with me? 】
[From now on, I will be your guardian. If you have any requests, I will do my best to assist you.]
【May the sunshine always be with you】
While Sid was thinking, he saw the Undead Man and the Sunshine Princess making a new oath. Both sides seemed to be in harmony and the atmosphere was harmonious. The Undead Man then stood up and was about to leave.
The image freezes here. The undead man walks out of the frame and only the sound of his footsteps gradually fading away can be heard.
"The video is about to end. It is necessary to check the new oath."
He looked at Gwynevers figure, thinking about what expression he should use to face this noble goddess. He must not lose his composure and must behave politely.
Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to tidy up his appearance. The clothes he wore after the battle looked a little undignified.
By the way, will the Sunshine Princess be as gentle to me as she is when she talks to the undead? I’m looking forward to it.
West Germany fully demonstrated what it means to be old but young at heart.
But at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind, and something tightened.
It seems like the sound of a bowstring being pulled?
“Swoosh—”
A sharp arrow passed over his shoulder and hit Princess Sunshine directly!
Sid's heart tightened, as if his heart was being squeezed. Who shot the arrow? It couldn't be the undead who just left. Didn't he sign the oath?
Turn around and become apostate! ?
No, the murderer could be someone else!
He wanted to look back but couldn't. He could only watch the Sunshine Princess slowly disappear.
Wait, slowly dissipating?
Without even a scream, the Sunshine Princess who was shot by the arrow seemed to have no reaction. Her expression did not change, and she still looked peaceful, but her body was turning to ashes.
A few seconds later, Gwynevere disappeared.
"Fake, fake?"
Sid was stunned.
He never imagined that the image of God could be fake.
But who set up this illusion?
While he was brainstorming, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.
[I am Gwyndolin, the one who killed the image of the gods. Your disrespect is a serious crime that cannot be forgiven. You shall be imprisoned forever in the night of Anor Londo! ]
Anor Londo was shrouded in dusk and suddenly turned dark.
The cold feeling stimulated and eroded everything, just like a drowning person falling into the darkest deep sea. Before the senses were submerged, the image ended.
After being kicked out of the video, Sid looked inside the room first.
It was empty there, the goddess had long since disappeared.
