Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 386: A time and space where the fire has gone out?
"state--"

A small round shield engraved with a blue and white holy flower pattern swung through the air, leaving a faint trail.

The small shield swung and bounced away a swung spear!

Then Li You turned the knife in his right hand and stabbed his opponent's neck!

"Roar--!!"

However, the opponent just roared, waved his hand to deflect Li You's thrust, and then quickly followed up with a side shoulder strike!
"Boom--!"

Li You simply blocked and retreated, not choosing to fight head-on. But the opponent did not stop, and immediately stepped forward, holding the halberd in his hand, thrusting it upwards, and then kicked out fiercely!
"call out--!!"

This time, Li You turned into black smoke and flashed behind the opponent, and the flames ignited the trail!
However, the opponent's reaction was also very fast. He swung the halberd in his hand again, turned around sharply, and swung down with the halberd with great force!

"state--!!"

At the critical moment, Li You waved the Holy Flower Shield again!

The small shield once again bounced off the fine steel halberd, and this time Li You won in the collision of the two sides' qi. The opponent's posture suddenly collapsed, and he fell backwards involuntarily, half-kneeling on the ground somewhat powerlessly.

Li You rushed forward again, flipped over and climbed onto the opponent's back, and stabbed down with the knife in his hand!

"Pfft-"

He stabbed and turned the knife, lightning and thunder appeared, and his opponent immediately let out a painful roar!

He stood up and reached out to grab Li You, but Li You had already rolled over and jumped away.

Looking at his opponent who was still alive and kicking despite being hit hard by him, Li You sighed: "He is in his prime after all, his health bar is quite thick!"

The other party only responded with a roar: "Roar--!!!"

He stomped on the ground suddenly, swung the halberd in his hand twice, then held it tightly, lowered his body, and let out a dull war cry!

The fluctuating "energy" emanated from around him, and he then lowered his body, raised the halberd to his waist, and launched an attack with a roar!

"Roar--!!"

Li You stepped back quickly, putting some distance between himself and the opponent. The tip of the halberd was always only one step away from him.

Seeing that the attack could not hit Li You, the opponent roared even louder, then suddenly turned around, twisted the halberd, and swung a heavy diagonal slash!

"clang--!!"

This time Li You didn't have time to draw his shield and could only raise his sword to fight!
The energy on the weapons collided with each other, and both of them were pushed back a few steps by the force before they could stand firm.

But then, the opponent leaped up with a roar, and stabbed down with his spear like a mountain falling down!
Li You said, "Hey!" "As expected of you, you're the Dean of Studies!"

If that's the case, how could he escape from the battlefield?

I've decided to take this class!

"drink--!"

——Outside the arena where the two men were fighting.

V was watching Li You's fight with great interest, tightening and loosening his grip on Jue's hand, eager to try.

Beside her, Edge was also watching, but at the same time he was giving V a simple explanation.

V doesn't understand the power of Qi, and sometimes she can't understand the moves of the two people in competition, so she needs Edge to explain it to her.

As for Yuzu, he was sitting aside, somewhat bored, using the giant hammer spear that Li You had exploded earlier to hit the zombies that had crawled out of the cemetery.

"Duang—"

However, seeing the fierce fight going on over there with Li You, V turned his head and looked at the sky. The entire sky was pitch black, with hardly any light coming through.

"Is this... the world after the fire is extinguished? It's really creepy."

The group of people were now in no other place than an ownerless cemetery.

The one who was fighting with Li You was, of course, Guda, not as the Judge of Ashes, but as the Champion.

Almost the original Guda in his prime.

——Before, the discouraged brother Hawkwood went back after obtaining the meditation posture of the ancient dragon road, and Li You had no plan to bring him here.

Because when you come out of the hidden wall of the hall behind the Demon King, what you arrive at is not the Ash Cemetery, but this ownerless cemetery that travels through time and space.

The exact time point of the Unknown Cemetery has always been controversial, but what is certain is that it was a timeline when the First Fire was almost completely extinguished.

The sun fell, the sky was shrouded in darkness, demons were raging in the Ash Cemetery, and even the flames of the Firelink Shrine had gone out, leaving only the old maid watching all alone.

In such a place, the belated hero quietly waits for the end of his mission.

But logically speaking, although the hero Guda is also relatively weak to thunder, he is still much stronger than the previous Lao Wang. At least he won't scream and cry after being electrocuted twice.

So Li You didn't want to face this powerful enemy alone.

But if it’s a group fight, there’s another problem.

Hero Guda is different from Judge of Ashes. Although some of their moves are similar, Hero Guda is stronger, faster, and more swift.

At the same time, he was not eroded by the pus of the human race, and his movements were extremely flexible. While wielding the halberd, he would frequently use physical techniques such as boxing, kicking, and shoulder strikes, which were powerful and difficult to resist.

When facing the hero Guda, if too many people join the battle and the output is not enough, the scene will be very chaotic.

The hero Guda's attacks are swift and varied, and once he is in a one-on-many situation, his attacks become unpredictable.

So at the beginning, Youzi and the others attacked together with Li You, but they were soon torn apart by Guda's military boxing, and it was difficult for them to cooperate, and they even hindered each other.

In desperation, Li You had to wave his hand and open the duel field, still fighting one-on-one with Guda.

Anyway, he is familiar with Mr. Guda's moves, and now he has learned how to parry, so it shouldn't be difficult.

Old Ashes people all know that Guda is weak to parrying, but Guda without the halberd is not vulnerable to parrying, so everyone says that Guda with the halberd has a weakness. If Guda throws away his broken halberd, his strength will definitely rise to a higher level.

...Li You originally thought so, but after the duel began, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.

As mentioned before, the essence of parrying is to use your own Qi to interrupt the opponent's actions while blocking the attack. This idea is consistent in both Soul and Sekiro.

Then the problem arises. It's okay for ordinary soldiers and zombie knights, but for a strong man like the hero Guda, Li You can't interrupt his movements with just one bounce, so he needs continuous attacks.

Otherwise, Guda could have relied on his own "resilience" to take his counterattack and then counterattack.

To put it bluntly, a single counterattack with a light bullet will not result in an execution, but instead a slap in the face.

So this battle was more difficult than Li You had imagined.

But it must be said that fighting with an enemy like the hero Guda was indeed very satisfying. The collision of weapons and the exchange of moves made people's blood boil and they were extremely excited.

So Li You fought more and more vigorously, and finally after repelling Guda's heroic attack, he laughed heroically, waved his hand and pulled out the Primal Spear!

Li You held the knife in his right hand and carried the Primordial Spear on his shoulder with his left hand. Both the knife and the spear were wrapped in lightning. He jumped up and slashed heavily at Guda!

"clang--!!"

Aggie on the side couldn't help but shake his head.

Of course, she could see that Li You was too excited, even to a certain extent. The sword and spear fighting method was naturally learned from Yi Xin, and Li You's fighting style at this time was also very similar to Yi Xin's.

Aiji knew that Li You would only fight in this way when he was really excited.

The lightning, moonlight, and the primordial spear were swung and chopped down, colliding with Guda's halberd, making a crisp sound and emitting large sparks.

The hero Guda roared and roared, swinging his halberd with all his strength. Li You's face was also covered in sweat, but he was laughing, constantly mobilizing the strength in his body, and collided head-on with Guda!

“Ding! Ding, ding!!”

"Ha ha ha ha--!!"

Aiji shook his head and complained in his heart that although Li You and Yixin were brothers, their sworn brotherhood was not in vain. This can be regarded as the saying that people of the same family are alike, right?
She turned her head and was about to give V a brief explanation, but she saw V staring intently at Li You who was fighting, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Uh..." Edge didn't say anything in the end.

"boom--!!"

In the field, Li You's Primitive Spear and Guda's Halberd clashed again, but this time Li You was finally out of breath, and the Primitive Spear was knocked out of his hand!

Guda then swung his fist fiercely and punched Li You!

But Li You did not choose to dodge. Instead, his eyes lit up, and he gathered all his strength in his hands and punched out as well!
"Boom-!!"

Edge, who was watching the fight: “…!?”

He's crazy?
Naturally, in such a counter-punch, even with the protection of the Qi, Li You was absolutely at a disadvantage. Gu Da's punch was powerful and heavy. After the collision, the force dispersed by the Qi still directly hit him and flew away!

Li You flew into the air, but he was still laughing happily. He popped out his grappling hook, hooked it on Guda's armor, and pulled himself back. At the same time, he raised the knife in his hand, and the power of the cherry dragon in his body surged towards the blade again!

He fell straight down, and the lightning and moonlight flashed like lightning!
"Boom——!!"

Guda was finally unable to dodge the sword and was hit hard on his helmet!

The lightning was violent but fleeting, and the hero Guda's body lost its strength and fell to the ground.

The old halberd fell from his hand, and as the duel field closed, it was held in Li You's hand. Gu Da took a last look at the "little man" standing in front of him, and a long echo came out of his throat.

There were no words spoken, but Li You heard recognition and relief in them.

Then, Guda's body fell down and dissipated, and finally only his soul remained.

Li You originally wanted to collect his soul, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt extreme pain all over his body, and he couldn't help but grimace.

"hiss--!"

So he just gave up, his hands loosened, the lightning and moonlight fell down, and he lay on the ground in a big letter shape.

"call--"

But no matter what, Li You's mood was still as cheerful as ever.

"It was such a thrilling battle...it hurts so much!"

There were footsteps, and Youzi and the others came to Li You. Li You turned his head to look at V and Edge who were looking down at him, and forced a smile: "Excuse me, can you please take my medicine gourd?"

"Heh." V smiled and shook his head, squatted down, gently helped Li You up, let him lean against him, and fed the gourd of medicine to his mouth.

After Li You drank the potion, he recovered and said, "Thank you."

"I hit it myself in the end, sorry."

But V shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I didn't lose anything anyway."

Li You was stunned.

What's wrong? Why are you so easy to talk to this time?

However, he still added the postscript that he had prepared long ago: "…But it doesn't matter. There are still powerful enemies guarding the road leading to the Fireless Sacrifice Ground. I'll leave them to you."

As he spoke, Li You raised his arm and said, "Muscle soreness is easy to solve, but I have used up all my energy and power, so I can only assist now."

Just now, he had fought the hero Guda head-on. It was great, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Although his weapon had been strengthened, his current condition was worse than when he defeated the dancer.

But now is not the time to go back and rest, we still have to go to the Fireless Sacrifice.

And what you have to face next on the road is the so-called Black Wage King - the Black Knight!

In this regard, Li You could only leave it to Youzi and the others.

After leaning on V for a while, Li You got up when he felt he could move freely.

He picked up the Black Knight's Blade Halberd, a generation of divine weapon commonly known as "Guandao", at the cliff where he fought with the hero Guda, and then he and everyone else set out on the journey to the Fireless Shrine.

Pushing open the gate and walking up the familiar yet strange road, you will reach the sacrificial site where the fire has been extinguished. Not far ahead, there stands a tall knight in black armor, holding a heavy shield in his left hand and an exaggerated giant sword in his right hand.

The knight had his back to the crowd, but one could still see a pair of twisted horns on his helmet.

This is the warrior of the strongest legion under the Sunshine God Clan, the Black Knight!

The Sun Gods who created the Age of Fire were led by Gwyn, the Sun King. Their main force was the Silver Knights who wielded the power of thunder and lightning. The Silver Knights were the main force in the dragon hunting war.

After the Dragon War ended and the Age of Fire began, Anor Londo's rule was not all smooth sailing. Many chaos arose, such as the Chaos Demon Rebellion that broke out in the kingdom of the Witch of Izalith, which was also the holder of the First Flame.

At that time, King Gwyn sent his most elite group of Silver Knights to fight against the Chaos Demons. These Silver Knights changed into weapons to fight against the behemoths, fought with the demons, and were stained with the blood of the demons, gradually becoming the later Black Knights.

Afterwards, King Gwyn chose to pass on the fire, and some of the black knights followed him to the furnace of the First Fire, where they were burned by the First Fire and finally turned into their current appearance.

Yes, in this sense, these black knights are the world's earliest ashes.

It can also be seen from the background story that the Black Knight is the strongest knight in the Soul World with a full lineup, and this has been the case from the first generation to the third generation.

The weapons they use are all specially made, all designed to fight against Chaos Demons of gigantic size. They can effectively reduce the enemy's toughness. At the same time, their armor and shields also have high resistance, especially fire resistance.

Looking at the black knight in front of him with his back to the crowd, Li You whispered, "Don't underestimate him... Youzi, you go first! Try to be as quiet as possible!"

"Ow!"

Yuzu then stepped forward with a knife!

The black knight also heard the noise, turned around, and saw Yuzu. He said nothing, but immediately moved his feet, approached quickly, swung the terrifying giant sword with one hand, and chopped it down fiercely!
"clang--!!"

Youzi doesn't understand energy, but he relies on strength to survive, so he directly swings his sword to fight!

Pure power collided with steel, sparks flew, and Yuzu's broken naginata and the black knight's giant sword were actually in a stalemate, and for a moment neither could overpower the other.

Edge and V at the back widened their eyes in surprise. They didn't expect that the black knight could actually compete with Yuzu in strength, but Li You was not surprised.

Don't forget that Yuzu is currently in a weak state with all attributes reduced by half, and the Black Wage Kings used to fight against huge demons and are originally power-type characters.

There is no doubt about the strength of the God-era knight who can slay demons with a giant sword and axe with one hand.

Yuzu himself was also surprised. Although he still maintained the size of an ordinary person, he also became interested. He increased the strength of his hands and was about to push the Black Knight over.

However, the Black Knight realized that he was still at a disadvantage, so he did not resist and took a step back to avoid it, causing Yuzu's force to miss and suddenly lose his balance. Then, the Black Knight jumped up and slashed down with the sword in his hand again like a mountain falling on his head!

"Boom-!!"

However, Yuzu suddenly swung the naginata upwards, and the blade drew an arc in the air, deflecting the black knight's sword!

"Roar--!!"

The black knight stumbled a few steps, a little off balance. Yuzu wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue, but when he turned around, he saw two more black knights running towards him from behind!
"Just keep the noise down..."

Li You at the back had no choice but to wave his hand: "Let's go and help!"

V didn't say much. He woke up and drove the Swansea Westin up.

Li You also wanted to follow and help, but at this moment, Edge whispered to him in the mental link:

"Li You! I want that giant sword... no, that big axe!"

Li You took a look and saw that she was pointing at the only black knight carrying a big axe, and his eyes lit up.

Li You: "..."

I almost forgot you liked heavy weapons.

"…Okay, remind Yuzu and V to leave him to me!"

Li You took his Echo and hand cannon from Edge, and with a flip of his hand, both guns began to slowly charge.

"Black Knight's axe, take it!"
