Chapter 333: The Pope's Left Eye, Homecoming

Why!

When these magical words [Sullivan's Undead] appeared in people's eyes, the adventurers were stunned.

Especially the words "big brother" and the voice coming from under the face of the living corpse made people confirm the identity of the monster, that is, the little boy.

But why?

Why did the little boy suddenly turn into a monster?

What about the logic?

The mental impact that Malu received now was no less powerful than the time when she saw the warrior pot explode in front of her in the Great Tomb. Seeing a living person being transformed into a monster was probably even more exciting.

It's a pity that if Gong Qiying was more ruthless and the whole transformation animation was released, and the little boy happily put on the armor to find his brother in front of people, but then immediately started screaming in pain and twisted and mutated, there would have been explosive points.

However, the effect of this sudden turn is not bad now. It can only be said that the perception varies from person to person.

Ma Lu screamed when the warrior pot exploded, but now her brain was shut down and she didn't even have time to scream, but her face was changing a little bit, which reminded people of a world-famous painting.

"Scream"

"Drew!" Leon just said, and Drew reacted immediately, stepping on the pillar of fire rising into the sky and running towards Malu, and shot a green light on her head before the other party's emotions fluctuated further. .

【Sedation】!

A green light flashed above her head. Today, Malu will see through the world of mortals and stop interfering in worldly affairs.

The mouth that was about to scream instantly closed, and her expression turned into nothing. She was now terrifyingly calm.

"Save, save"

The little boy's voice came out harshly, but it was completely covered up by the beast-like roar. Now he, like the Pope Knight, is the dead soul of Pope Sullivan.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for him to be rescued. It's better to give him a peaceful death.

Under the influence of the sedation technique, Malu's eyes became sharper. The mercenary's knife gleamed in his hand and said:

"Okay, it's time for me to save you."

Sullivan's undead body leaped as lithely and nimbly as a papal knight, and waved his wand like a witch at the stake, causing raging flames to rise into the sky and explode under people's feet.

"Bang!"

When Malu rushed to his side and the mercenary who had been wiped with lightning grease quickly slashed with his sword, Sullivan's undead spirit was able to respond flexibly with the Pope Knight's curved sword. The curved sword swung out ice mist, and the wand immediately sprayed out. Flame, one cold and one hot, is an excellent combination of two monsters.

His attack power is also much higher than that of normal monsters, and his strength is completely comparable to that of the Battle Knight.

"Look at me!"

Terr broke through the sea of ​​​​fire with a large shield made of magic power. The undead was caught off guard and was knocked away. He was smashed on the wall before he quickly got up.

It seems that although Sullivan's undead combines the advantages of the two monsters, it also inherits the shameful toughness. Moreover, the shield belonging to the Pope Knight is gone, and the defensive ability is further reduced.

Drew imitated the magic of the elf aunt he had seen before, and summoned plant monsters at the foothold of the undead to restrain them, but the flames released by the undead immediately forced the plant monsters back.

[Armor of the Burning Witch]

[The cold undead of Irushil, the witch's armband holding the flames of sin]

[It is said that the witches who led the Pope Knights were originally named Holy Knights, but were soon charmed by the flames of sin]

The flames of the undead coming from the Burning Witch are not ordinary fires, but the flames of sin coming from the hometown of Giant King Youm.

Although this small point is definitely not as powerful as the large ball of sinful flames in the sinful capital, and it does not have the ability to confuse people's hearts, its lethality is definitely first-rate.

"Tsk, you really shouldn't just imitate others." Drew was stunned and decided to practice his best quagmire technique from now on.

Under the influence of the calming technique, Malu was able to fight the undead at a normal level without losing the will to fight. They were professional adventurers and would not surrender under normal circumstances.

But it is certain that I feel awkward in my heart. Whether it was the warrior pot last time or the little boy this time, it was definitely the intention of Thane Dungeon! Deliberately trying to mess with people’s mentality!

The considerate Leon naturally would not let his partners fight while feeling awkward. He took the initiative to take over from Malu, and started with full firepower to deal with the enemy as quickly as possible.

It is not a problem for the strategy team to deal with an ordinary elite-level monster. Sullivan's undead does not have the ability of a supermodel, but it can run a marathon. Unfortunately, the surrounding monsters have been cleared by the strategy team, so even a marathon is useless. If you can't find the monster pile, the power of the marathon will be half lost.

The duration of this battle should not exceed ten minutes, if there are no unexpected circumstances.

【Invaded by the Dark Moon Sword "Rigelfen"! 】

"Again?"

During the battle, Leon stared at Fingree, who turned into a dark blue spirit and slowly appeared, and couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do.

The first invasion could be seen as an accident by Finger, but this second time it was probably intentional.

It would be troublesome if the other party really came to cause trouble while they were fighting monsters, but Fingree shouldn't be such an unscrupulous person.

Looking back at Fingry, he was also a little confused.

"Why am I here again?"

He swore he didn't mean to invade.

Because he and his companions had just told the little boy the location of the Church of Yurshika, and they were on their way to the shortcut. They had not had time to clean up the monsters along the way, so why did they have nothing to do but invade?

He was just playing with the Deep Blue Eyes Orb on the road. Because he was a little bit impatient, he chose to use the invasion and then cancel the invasion. He liked the feeling of jumping back and forth.

As a result, he overturned. The last time he chose to use it, he was teleported to Leon's world.

"So there are no other adventurers in Irithyll!"

Fingley quickly jumped aside to indicate that he had no intention of fighting them. He had completely strayed here. People no longer paid attention to him and focused on fighting the undead.

"Why have I never seen this monster before?"

Fingley looked around and found that this was where the little boy's house was, but what was this monster in front of him that looked like a witch of fire and a knight of the pope?

"I'll help too."

He joined the battle against Shalivan's undead with the idea of ​​being friendly (to inquire about information), and asked about the origin of this monster during the battle.

With his joining, the pressure of the battle was greatly reduced, and Leon also told the whole story.

"What!? Is this what that kid turned into?" Fingri opened his mouth so wide that he could be a passerby at the next door One Piece studio, and asked in surprise: "What's going on? What's going on?"

"We don't know either."

Malu swung the last blow, and Shalivan's undead fell to the ground and could not get up again.

"Brother."

The undead stretched out his arms to the sky, and with the sound of his last breath, he slowly turned into ashes.

The equipment given to him before was scattered all over the ground in the form of light spots, and there was also a new thing.

[Replica of the Pope's Left Eye]

[Pope Shalivan gave the knights a magic ring. Continuous attacks can absorb the enemy's vitality. This is a replica of the ring. It is quite popular among the civilians of Irithyll. It is said that this represents people's admiration for Pope Shalivan]

[After staring at the black pupils of the Pope's left eye, you will become excited and have the desire to fight to the death. In the end, the knight will be degraded to a beast-like berserker. Therefore, the Pope only gives this item when the knight goes out to fight]

[The frenzy effect of the replica is weakened, but the combat effect is also reduced. If the long-term wearer is exposed to enough inducements, frenzy will also occur]

"Wearing the equipment of monsters will turn you into a monster. Does that mean we will become like this after wearing it?" Fingri was a little worried, but the protective gear produced by Sion is not so popular compared to weapons, and the popularity is not high.

Leon fell into deep thought and checked the introduction of the dropped equipment one by one to see if there was any change, but there was no change.

It's just that all the equipment mentioned that the Pope Knight/Pyre Witch is Shalivan's undead, and the monster that the little boy turned into just now is also called a undead.

Could it be that Shalivan has the ability to transform people into this kind of existence called "undead", and it is applied to the equipment?

That's possible, but what does the imitation of the Pope's left eye mean? It's exactly the same as the introduction of the right eye, and both can make the wearer go berserk.

"Could it be that the inducement in the Pope's left eye also includes the armor of the monster, and the little boy who got the imitation ring from somewhere went berserk after wearing the armor?"

Leon guessed.

"Shalivan doesn't look like a good person." Malu said coldly.

The Sean Dungeon didn't explain the whole story clearly, and the adventurers are now guessing everything by themselves. The more they think about it, the more confused they are. Everyone has their own explanation.

The more people with different ideas, the better, just like the soul experts, guess slowly, anyway, Gong Qiying doesn't intend to give an "official explanation".

Maybe in the end, the adventurer will analyze the introduction of various equipment word by word and start to do reading comprehension.

"No matter what the reason is, it seems that giving equipment will turn children into monsters." Fingri suddenly felt fortunate that he did not give the armor to the little boy, but only told him the location of the church.

That's great, now he won't become a monster and can live safely in the church.

Thinking of this, he also told Leon and the others about his choice, with a sense of pride.

Malu said:

"Won't such a young child have an accident on the road?"

This sentence directly controlled Fingri for half a minute.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. He said hello to Leon and the others and returned to his own world.

"Back again?" Matilda stared at him, condemning her captain's behavior of running away casually.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Fingri put his hands together, "Can you all go back to the church with me first? I want to see if the kid has arrived."

"Brother is so concerned about the fate of Canying. He is indeed a man of good character!" Tus said with a smile.

Compared to Malu, the Guza team is not so "sentimental" and has no feelings about the little boy's story, or they haven't encountered a story that can make them feel.

Ah, Patch's troubles did make them feel - red temperature.

Leaving the shortcut, returning to the west avenue, heading towards the Youershika Church.

I don't know why, it's snowing, but Fingri's palms are sweating a little.

Why, because after seeing the experience of the little boy in Leon's world, he couldn't help but worry about the little boy on his side.

But the monsters on the west avenue were cleared by himself, so the little boy shouldn't be in danger, right?

No! Why does my sentence sound so weird! Stop planting flags!

When the roof of the Church of Yurshika gradually appeared in his sight, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

It was the stench of a beast, the smell of the Crocodile Fire King!

Sure enough, on the avenue, the huge Crocodile Fire King was facing away from them, lowering his head as if chewing something.

Fingri recognized the familiar wounds on the Crocodile Fire King, which were caused by his double knives.

This turned out to be the Crocodile Fire King that escaped from the lake!

"Hey, the enemy's road is narrow, just let me get rid of it here--"

Fingri just smiled grimly, and suddenly saw clearly what the Crocodile Fire King was eating.

It was a bloody corpse, which looked not tall, like an underdeveloped child, with blueworm pills scattered all over the ground around him.

His expression froze on his face, and his heart was pounding wildly.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!"

"Ah!"

The Crocodile King spotted the adventurer, turned around and excitedly pounced on the more delicious people.

"Swish--"

The knife flashed in an instant.

Fingley suddenly appeared behind the Crocodile King and squatted in front of the corpse.

The corpse had long been unrecognizable and could not be recognized. Even if the corpse was well preserved, he could not recognize it because he had never seen what the little boy looked like.

"Ah?"

The Crocodile King turned around in confusion, and his body suddenly burst into dense scars and blood gushed out.

He couldn't even make a wailing sound, and broke into countless pieces on the spot.

Fingley didn't even turn his head, staring at the unidentified corpse, and suddenly found something, gently moved the corpse, and a purple light appeared on the ground.

After picking it up, he found that it was a page of a book that recorded a miracle.

[Miracle: Homeward Path]

[A miracle taught to traveling priests, and later everyone can learn it, and can return to the bonfire where they rested for the last time]

[Originally, it was a miracle that could return the user's hometown, but the effect was distorted by the curse of undeadness, or is the bonfire the hometown of the undead? ]

Because he touched the page, he automatically learned this miracle.

The conditions for using the Homeward Path are somewhat different from the previous ones. It does not consume magic power, but it can only be used once within a certain period of time, and the interval is probably a whole day?

I wonder if it can be used outside the dungeon, and after using it, can it be teleported directly from home to the Firelink Sacrifice?

Fingali didn't care to think so much now. He threw a ball of fire to burn the body, and gestured to the people, indicating that they should continue to move towards the Church of Yurshika.

It is not certain that the body is that of the little boy. What if it is just a coincidence? Maybe when they arrive at the church, they will see a well-behaved and cute child thanking them.

As they approached the Church of Yurshika, Fingri looked down at the ground.

The snow had accumulated on the road, leaving a thick layer of snow. Their footprints were clearly visible.

But the snow in front of the church was extremely smooth and flat, without any footprints at all.

Fingri's heart sank, and he rushed in.

The Church of Yurshika was still the same, but because the door was open, the snow blew in, making it even colder inside.

And the entire church was empty.

"No!"
