Chapter 393 The Second Salary King
The fire on Elsa suddenly went out?
Without the coverage of the flames, one could see how much damage her previous fighting style of not dodging the attacks and taking all the damage had caused to her body.
Her entire body was covered with wounds, a small portion of which came from the Silver Knight, but more of them were from the magic unleashed by Aldridge, and the condition of her inner bones was not good either. Smoo's hammer had caused cracks in the bones of both her arms.
If the fight continues for a while, the amount of meat in her body will probably be comparable to that of Adam's hammer.
The scene was horrifying, and Luluwo's eyes showed heartache, but the greater threat forced her to raise her head.
The flame extinguished from the source, and then the momentum of extinguishing climbed all the way up.
But before the forty-meter-tall flaming blade disappeared, it collided violently with the attack swung by Aldridge!
The burning flames collided violently with the power of the dark moon. The bright light that burst out in an instant made Luluwo lose her eyesight for a moment. With her eyes completely dark, she felt the "storm" brought about by the collision between the two sides with her body.
The ground was cracking, strong winds were blowing, the hall was shaking, stones blown by the strong wind cut bloody marks on the skin, the heat of the flames and the cold of the dark moon alternated, as if Groudon and Kyogre were taking turns to compete for the weather.
This extreme change was unbearable for Luluwo, the only normal person in the room. The chains she had carefully maintained could not withstand the pressure of the ice and fire and broke one after another.
When the shaking of the hall finally stopped, the strong winds ceased to rage, and her vision gradually recovered, she was finally able to open her eyes and see who the final winner of the fight just now was.
The first thing that caught my eye was the dark shield that looked like a giant egg.
This thing has been reborn.
Is this the power of the second Salary King they have seen so far?
The rotten flesh that defiled the entire hall fell down one after another, forming new enemies, staggering towards this side. They started with small characters like zombies, and in the end it would probably be Smough. Luluwo thought that maybe he would even run into Ornstein, so there would be no point in fighting him.
The amount of rotten flesh in the hall seemed to have decreased. After the first wave of attacks, it was visible to the naked eye that about 20% of the hall had become clean. The rotten flesh that had originally covered the hall had turned into monsters and was killed in the first wave of attacks.
It feels like if we can withstand five attacks at most, we will be able to clear out the rotten flesh in the entire venue, and by then we will definitely be able to severely weaken Aldridge.
But who the hell can hold on that long?
Luluwo looked everywhere for Elsa, but couldn't find the familiar figure.
A huge shadow was cast down from the sky, accompanied by the sticky sound of a mysterious object slowly crawling, and an indescribable sense of terror enveloped Luluwo.
She raised her head stiffly and her body trembled violently.
Gwyndolin's face was close at hand.
She could even clearly see the other person's dry lips and pale skin, as well as the evil guy hidden beneath this appearance.
The black mud-like rotten flesh surged like a tide and climbed onto Luluwo's body in the blink of an eye.
"Gwyndolin" slowly opened his arms to her, and a dull, bubbling laugh came from the rotten flesh. Before being "embraced" by the other party, Luluwo clearly saw the other party's lips opening and closing.
As expected, it was the same sentence.
【Run.】
The feeling of having your body completely wrapped in muddy rotten flesh is probably something many people have never experienced in their entire lives, so it’s best not to experience it.
Luluwo just felt indescribably nauseous all over, her body was being eaten away bit by bit but she was powerless to do anything. It was much more bizarre than a cult sacrifice.
No, I would rather die than let this guy have it easy!
She used her remaining magic power to form a super-small wizard's hand, and found the explosive crystal in her arms. This thing is a one-for-one "artifact" in today's invasion environment.
While polishing the exploding crystal, she also saw Elsa, whom she had been looking for, in the depths of the black mud. To describe her appearance in one sentence, it was:
She burned out.
A muffled explosion sounded from Aldridge's body, but his appearance merely swelled up a bit before returning to its original state.
“Click, click, click.”
The ordinary chewing sound was heard in Anor Londo, which had returned to silence.
Now is the time to eat.
At the same time, in the Sen Dungeon, the city lord's room.
Gong Qiying was sitting on the altar, watching the video of the battle between Elsa and the God Devourer. His back was straight and his expression was more serious than before.
The screen is almost filled with flaming swords. If you don't know, you might think you are watching the Undead Squad of the Lord of Fire. The scale of the special effects is almost the same.
After watching for a while, he waved his hand, zoomed out the screen, and brought up several other images, which were also photos of Elsa's battle.
If you look closely, you will find that Crystal Ball has integrated the city lord panel, available monsters and other modules into one interface as per his habit. It looks simple and clear, and this interface looks like a certain win11.
There are hundreds of independent folders in the "folder" named [Battle Photo Archives]. Each folder is labeled with a person's name, such as Stellan, Leon, Dale, etc.
Looking through the videos of Elsa's previous battles, and then watching the battle with Aldridge just now, Gong Qiying fell silent.
He suddenly found that he couldn't quite understand how the other party's strength was growing.
Just... I saw that the giant blacksmith exploded directly after his death? How could his strength increase so much after exploding?
Are people from another world so emotional?
Gong Qiying did deliberately arrange such a small tragedy as the giant blacksmith to harvest spiritual power. This was just a normal design method in daily life, similar to the time with Xiaohu. He didn't expect to make a fortune from it. In the end, a brave man with greatly increased strength appeared?
This made him mutter to himself:
"So the plot I designed is so touching?"
Regardless of how the giant blacksmith plot goes, he is very interested in Elsa's idealistic outburst. If he is not mistaken, those dazzling flames actually come from the giant sword in the opponent's hand. Is that the hero's weapon?
I've seen Elsa unleash that kind of power before, but it wasn't that strong. This time it really overturned Gong Qiying's view of her strength.
There are three stages in Aldridge's design: with dark shield, dark shield broken, and half-blood transition stage. He has adjusted the strength of the dark shield. According to usual experience, it is indestructible and can only be broken by honestly killing the soldiers to weaken the shield.
As a result, the few powerful blows that Elsa made to vent her emotions almost broke the shield directly. When he saw it at that time, Gong Qiying thought that the other party could kill Aldridge at the first sight, which really gave him a surprise.
"But at the last moment, the strength she had gained disappeared along with the flames."
Gong Qiying added a feature called "Profundity" to Aldridge's attack. When injuring the adventurer, it can slowly erode the opponent's vitality. The more wounds there are, the faster the erosion speed, which is equivalent to an alternative poisoning.
The extinction of Elsa's flame was related to Yousui, but his intuition told him that it was not entirely Yousui's fault, and there must be other factors affecting it.
Could it be that the hero's explosive form can only be used for three minutes like Ultraman?
What about the other heroes? It seems like they haven’t heard the news.
I don’t know what kind of power the legendary monster has.
It's useless to just guess here. Gong Qiying sorted out his thoughts and said:
"The smooth sailing for so long has made me underestimate the adventurers. It turns out that many of them have unexpected potential. I still can't be careless."
Elsa's situation was a wake-up call for him, who had gradually become comfortable. He should not be content with the status quo.
"Reorganize Aldridge and prepare a plan to deal with emergencies. In addition..."
"The Holy Light Church has been quite active recently."
————————————
As usual, she was resurrected at the campfire. The first thing Luluwo did after opening her eyes was to kneel on the ground and vomit.
"vomit--"
God knows what happened to her inside Aldridge's body. The explosive crystal was moved away before it could take effect, and she was eaten by rotten flesh for a while before she died.
She felt like there was rotten flesh crawling in her throat.
It’s numb. If you lose, there is a defeat CG.
“I will probably never forget what happened today.”
Since then, Aldridge has become the monster she least wants to challenge, successfully replacing the mushroom man.
"That's right, Elsa!"
She turned her head and saw the petite figure lying straight on the ground, looking up at the night sky of Irithyll, her body almost covered with frost.
"Are you okay? How are you feeling? Are you—"
Luluwo's words stopped abruptly, her brows furrowed deeply, and she stared at the other person's face.
"Um."
When Elsa saw it was her, she responded softly and then stared at the sky in a daze.
There was neither sadness nor anger on his face, only calmness like a peaceful lake, without the slightest emotion.
Luluwo seemed to have seen this expression somewhere. Yes, it was a few months ago when she first saw Elsa in Bed City!
At that time, the Sean Dungeon had not yet gone out of control, Sally was still the young master of the Bed family, and Elsa's emotions were far less rich than they are now. She was like a paralyzed puppet!
But even at that time she would at least show reactions to things she liked and disliked, but now she has no emotions at all, and the problem is even more serious than before.
It was just like a fake person. Luluwo shuddered and the uncanny valley effect kicked in.
So she prepared for talk therapy.
"Well, I know you like the Giant Blacksmith very much, but afterimages are just afterimages. Their appearance here proves that they are gone. I think..."
"Yeah." Elsa still responded indifferently. Even when the giant blacksmith was mentioned, she didn't react. Luluwo also came to her senses at this time and realized that the other party's current situation was not entirely caused by the giant blacksmith.
Did Eldridge do something to her? No, that's not right, then why am I fine?
So why, why after just one battle, Elsa's emotions were directly restored to factory settings and became what they were before?
At this time, Elsa blinked, sat up, placed the giant sword in front of her, and said:
"I am a brave man."
"Huh?" Luluwo was stunned, thinking, weren't you hiding your identity? Why did you suddenly explode now?
"This is my artifact." She pointed to the giant sword.
"Ah, I think I know that."
It's a bit embarrassing.
“I finally figured out how to use it.”
Elsa stroked the giant sword and said expressionlessly:
"Use my emotions to fuel it and gain power."
Luluwo slowly opened her mouth, and Gong Qiying also understood.
No wonder the other party suddenly returned to the "factory settings", because in the previous battle, the giant sword had ignited the emotions she had accumulated in the past few months in exchange for powerful strength.
After her emotions burned out, she became a real nothing, and had to accumulate emotions bit by bit to become normal again, waiting for the next burning.
The giant sword had burned in previous battles, but the burning time was short and the force was not great, so there was no obvious impact.
This time it was really burned out.
"Can this ability really be considered a divine weapon?"
Luluwo didn't know what to say and stared at Elsa for a while. She just felt that the power of this artifact was too much for a little girl who was not even an adult to bear.
After a moment, she moved to the other side, covered him with a dark cloak, and said:
"It's okay, I, no, we will make you better again."
Elsa's eyes flickered.
It is unknown what they talked about, but the two did not leave the dungeon until the midnight bell was about to ring.
"We need to report the situation here to the guild," Luluwo said to herself, "No, the most urgent thing is to take Elsa to see a doctor first."
She just didn't believe that there was no way to alleviate the aftereffects of using the magic weapon!
As for the situation of Aldridge and Gwyndolin.
Maybe there are other people who went to Anor Londo today. Those members of the expedition team are very busy, so it doesn't matter if she is missing the report.
When she came out of the dungeon, she suddenly realized that the square was exceptionally noisy today. Although it had been bustling with people before, it was not like today. Was there ghosts howling?
What was going on? She also saw someone pounding the ground and howling. Wasn’t that the Dark Moon Sword that invaded her a few days ago?
Just then, she finally discovered what was causing the commotion.
"Your Shadow Sun is dead! It's been eaten!"
A sharp sound came from not far away, and I looked in the direction of the sound.
"Only the God of Holy Light lives forever!"
Several Holy Light believers shouted loudly on the platform.
Behind them, a hastily pulled-up screen was projecting the image of the photo stone.
The image was very rough and the picture was shaking constantly, but there was one thing that was captured very clearly.
That's Aldridge's figure!
How did the Holy Light Church know about it so quickly! ?
