Chapter 389 There is sadness ahead
Devouring the guardian of the gods? Invasion?
Or is it the backyard of the cathedral that can only be reached after defeating the phantom of Pope Sullivan?
The adventurers looked at each other, staring at the dark spirit that was slowly taking shape, and for a moment they were unable to react.
What everyone knows is that generally speaking, invasions are restricted to certain areas, and you cannot invade Irithyll from the Faran Fortress.
Moreover, the boss battle scene cannot be invaded. More importantly, the place where the boss is located is the dividing line that separates the various areas. Therefore, the backyard of the cathedral can no longer be considered the same area as Irithyll.
Only people who are in the area will invade people who are also in the area, so where did these wild masters who devoured the guardians of the gods come from? ?
Someone actually forced our deluxe team to defeat the Sullivan Phantom and "not do their job" to invade here?
ah?
There are actually eight such people?
"Wait, what if these people are enemies automatically set up by the dungeon? Hasn't there been invasions arranged by the dungeon before?" Fingri said.
For example, Hunter, Patch, etc.
“No, no, no, look at the clothes they are wearing,” Leon pointed at the group of invaders that had already taken shape and said, “I recognize the style of those clothes. They are new products launched by a very famous tailor shop in Bed City. These invaders are real people!”
As soon as these words were spoken, people immediately calmed down. If they were real people, then how powerful would these people be?
"Maybe they are of the same type as the Fran Guards, and were automatically summoned after detecting the invasion of the Fran Fortress." Luluwo analyzed.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and found that people were looking at her.
"What, what are you doing? Why are you all looking at me?"
"Do you know something?"
"How is that possible? This is my first time seeing you."
Looking at people's suspicious eyes, Luluwo didn't know how to explain.
Because she made her fortune by selling strategy guides and intelligence, people almost all believed that she must know some information that ordinary people don't know.
But this time she really had no idea what was going on, why she was invaded here, where the oath of the guardian of the Devouring God was made, and what exactly did "Devouring God" mean?
I always have a bad feeling!
"At this point, there's no point in saying anything more except fighting," Sid interrupted the discussion. "Look, those invaders are standing still. Are they waiting for us to pass by? They are really arrogant guys."
The guardians of the Devouring God, this group of unknown enemies were standing where they appeared, watching from afar, and no one made any move.
Just like the mysterious master characters in novels, everyone stood still, exuding a mysterious majesty, and coupled with the pitch-black body of the spirit, it really filled the air with oppression and evil.
But the adventurers all have their own dignity, and the invaders' attitude is a complete provocation to them!
"Very good, you dare to put on airs when you see us."
Fingerly grinned and said, "I want to see how strong these guys are!"
Matilda quickly grabbed his belt and told him not to act impulsively. She was also worried whether the other party was really a mysterious and powerful person.
The invaders' motionless and nonchalant attitude really frightened the adventurers.
Even Sid carefully took out his magic wand and conscientiously cast a series of enhancement magic on everyone.
And the other side.
The Oathblowers, the guardian of the Devouring God and a veteran of the Light Eagle Regiment—Seru was leaning on his long sword and pulling at his hood with his other hand.
However, he seemed to be too nervous and tore off a small piece of cloth from the hood.
Upon closer inspection, he was shaking slightly, but he concealed it very well. And because they were so far away, the other adventurers didn't notice.
He is now scared to death.
Originally, the moment he received the call, he was very happy because his oath finally came in handy.
Whoever wants to enter Anor Londo must pass him first!
Moreover, the team that defeats Sullivan Phantom must be composed entirely of the old, weak, and sick. It will be extremely enjoyable for him to fight them then, just like mowing the grass!
So since the day he made the vow, he had been looking forward to being summoned. Only today did he discover that there were so many people who had made the same vow as him.
It’s safe, this time it’s absolutely safe, there are eight of us! Add two afterimages, a total of ten!
Who else in this world can stop us?
Hehe, let me use my eagle eye to see who the unlucky guys are who are about to be tortured by us.
This group of invaders all looked at the composition of the opposing adventurers' team.
Then they all shuddered.
(Light Eagle Group swear word), why does that old man look so familiar. Sid, the branch president of Bed City! ?
How did he come to the dungeon? Seru's heart suddenly stopped, a bad feeling crept into his heart, and he looked at the other adventurers.
(Expletive)! Team Hathaway!
(Expletive)! The leaders of the two strategy groups!
(Expletive)! Several well-known adventurers!
And Captain Gus! ?
When he saw Sid, Seru just felt a little uneasy. When he saw Fingerly, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. When he saw Leon, his hands just trembled a little.
But when he saw Elsa, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Because he had only heard that the others were very powerful, but as for Elsa, he had actually seen with his own eyes how violent she was in battle!
Seru's eyes were dead, he turned his head stiffly and met the equally despairing eyes of these strangers.
This action changed the appearance of the adventurers.
"Be careful, they are communicating, it looks like they are about to attack!"
The adventurers quickly became alert. Leon and Luluwo looked at each other, and under the cover of Sid, they rushed over with a few others. They were going to test the other party's strength.
Wow, they're coming! Seru was so nervous that he was sweating coldly. Looking at Leon with a grim face, he swung his knife in despair and closed his eyes in despair!
“Shua——”
There was a sound of breaking air, and Seru's tightly closed eyes slowly opened again, because he found that he seemed not to be dead?
On the other hand, Leon stepped back suddenly when the long sword was about to touch him, with a strong sense of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Seru was stunned.
Why? Why is he running? I haven’t hit him yet.
Seru swung the knife again, and Leon jumped back again, still remaining highly alert.
Now the invader was completely confused and didn't understand why the other party was so vigilant?
After a moment, a look of enlightenment appeared in Seru's eyes. He understood!
I understand. Leon must have been seriously injured in the previous battle, so he didn't dare to attack me?
Wow, it seems that this group of people are just for show, but they are just for show.
"Hey, I'll take your head!"
He laughed strangely, and suddenly became full of confidence. He took a big step forward and slashed.
Leon showed a nervous look, watching the enemy's movements, and after hesitating for a long time, he chose a direction to chop!
"Bang!"
“Puff!”
The sounds of swords clashing and flesh being cut rang out simultaneously.
Immediately, two cries of "Ah?" appeared on the battlefield in disbelief.
Leon looked at the sword in his hand that was pierced into the invader's neck, and the look of surprise on his face remained for a long time.
The expression under Seru's mask was also quite distorted. You said you were seriously injured, so how could you kill me instantly with one sword?
"You, you"
He struggled to say something, but the sword was thrust forward, ending his life once and for all.
You are so strong, why do you act so cowardly? That's what he didn't finish.
Looking at the disappearing spirit, Leon felt confused and unreal.
Didn’t everyone just say that the invaders are very strong?
That's why I was so cautious. After all, if I died here, I would have to run a long way.
It turns out that the enemy's skills are just ordinary, that is, slightly better than the average silver level.
Leon suddenly felt that his feelings were wasted.
Then, a blush of shame appeared on his face. Those two jumps he had just made were so embarrassing.
The situation on his side was naturally seen by the adventurers, and those who had previously guessed that this group of invaders were very strong lowered their heads in shame.
Sid wanted to laugh but shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and released a group binding magic on the invaders. The other adventurers rushed over and immediately killed all the invaders whose morale was already low.
The two hostile afterimages were quite powerful, even stronger than the Exiles, but unfortunately they did not last long after being surrounded and beaten.
After the battle, the adventurers looked at each other and tacitly kept silent about their experiences.
Let this dark history be forgotten.
"But what does it mean to devour a god?"
Some people murmured, not understanding what this sudden oath was all about.
However, there is a true god named Gwyndolin in Anor Londo, and if the oath of the invaders is linked to her.
A bad premonition began to arise in people's minds.
Continue walking forward and passing through the buildings, and Anor Londo appears before people. This is the place everyone is familiar with, but the location where the main road connects seems to be a bit off, and you need to walk over several beams.
People looked at the beams and smiled in unison. Someone used magic to [make a sound] forward.
With a "bang", two huge arrows hit the beam of the house. Looking in the direction from which the arrows came, one saw silver knights holding large bows guarding there one after another.
"Haha, I knew there must be a Silver Knight here!"
It seems that everyone has been fooled by the Silver Knight with the Longbow in the painting world, and when they see the beams of the house, they will think of the Silver Knight.
"The gate will close in twenty minutes." Sid reminded him, "Do you want to continue exploring?"
With this reminder, people suddenly felt tired. With twenty minutes left, they probably couldn't do anything. Some people waved their hands and said they wanted to rest here.
But at this moment, a petite figure rushed out of the crowd and rushed to the beam with a big arrow. It was Elsa!
"This child..." Luluwo looked helpless. She could probably guess why the other party was so anxious to enter the castle. She nodded to Sid and followed immediately.
Leon and Fingerly also followed, just to satisfy their curiosity.
Elsa took the lead and ran in front, rolling skillfully to avoid the Silver Knight's attacks, so skillfully that it was like she was back home.
Quickly parkour to avoid the Silver Knight, and in front of you is a very familiar place, the front gate of the castle!
At this moment, the place is tightly closed and one needs to go around from the side. This design is exactly the same as the world of paintings, which is really nostalgic.
But the Silver Knights obviously would not give up. Several enemies emerged from near the main gate, and the Silver Knights behind them also chased after them, and there were even special individuals with red eyes.
They were entangled in the blink of an eye, and Elsa and the others had no choice but to fight, with time passing quickly.
At this moment, Luluwo helped her fend off the silver knight beside her and said:
"We are fighting here. Don't you want to go see the giant blacksmith? Go now!"
Elsa showed a touched look and nodded heavily, then rushed into the castle from the side door and selectively fought with the enemies she had to fight.
The interior of the castle has changed a lot compared to the painting world. Although the royal city in the painting world is at dusk, it is clean and tidy, still maintaining its final decency, which reminds people of its former glory.
But now it is filled with ruins and dust. The whole building is shrouded in dark tones. There is no sign of life anywhere, and there is even indescribable black mud wriggling in the corners.
If it hadn't looked exactly the same, she wouldn't have believed this was Anor Londo.
What exactly happened here and why did it become like this? And is that black mud Aldridge's rotten flesh?
Every corner of the castle held memories of her battles with Solar. These memories could even be considered beautiful, but now there was only dust.
Elsa ran inside the very familiar castle, running towards where the giant blacksmith was, but there was even a [door that could not be opened from this side] blocking the way, so she had to take time to go around. With only a few minutes left, she finally arrived at where the giant blacksmith was.
Just run through this corridor again and you will see the blacksmith around the corner!
When you are halfway down this corridor, you can hear the blacksmith hammering on steel, which is a very soothing sound.
But this time, Elsa heard nothing. The sense of security was gone, replaced by a faster beating heart.
There are only a few steps left. As long as she can reach that place, she can -
“Dongdong.”
The bell representing the closing of the dungeon rang, loud and lonely.
At the last moment of being teleported out of the dungeon!
Elsa caught a glimpse of something!
Due to the obstruction of the corner, she could only see an incomplete part, and then she was teleported out of the dungeon.
But when she came out of the dungeon, she showed a relieved expression.
Because she saw the lower body of the giant blacksmith, which meant that he was still there!
"Very good"
