Chapter 402: Dark Moon Sword Oath
Irithyll Street.

This phantom city was originally inhabited by the Moon Nobles of the Frigid Valley, but today, there are hardly any living people left here.

In addition to the Pope Knights and Fire Witches guarding this place, there are also some zombie slaves wandering the streets.

But it was gone soon.

"Pfft-"

The sound of claws tearing flesh rang out, and those slaves carrying big swords, wearing rags, and with messy hair were easily torn into pieces by the swaying claws. Their ability to hide their bodies at a long distance was useless to the attackers.

"Roar--!!"

The lizard-like Yuzu howled to the sky, and the tentacles behind him shot out, piercing through several great sword slaves further away. The tentacles flicked lightly again, throwing the bodies of the slaves into the deep pit below the street.
At this time, right in front of the street, a tall fire witch wearing gorgeous armor and holding a long-handled weapon like a stake discovered Yuzu.

She swung the torch light in her hand and pointed it in the distance. The two papal knights wearing sky-blue light armor behind her rushed forward with swords raised!

The Papal Knights were also tall and their armor was decorated with veils, but under their golden crowns were faces of skulls.

These are the undead spirits of the Frost Valley, the Pope's Knights. They are Pope Salivan's spies and his sharp blades. The Flame Witch is the Paladin who leads them, but she has long been corrupted by the temptation of the flames of sin.

After ordering the Pope's Knight to charge forward, the Fire Witch also raised the light of fire in her hand high up, gathered her magic power, and was about to swing it down!

"boom--!!"

A loud gunshot echoed over the streets of Irithyll, and a faint flash of lightning flashed by, hitting the Fire Witch's strange crown with precision!

The Flame Witch's head tilted back heavily, and the bullet had already passed through the back of her head and disappeared in an instant. The Flame Witch took two steps back and finally fell to the ground.

As for the two papal knights who rushed up, they waved their curved swords that looked like insects, and were about to cut them down. Unfortunately, two particularly thick bony tentacles suddenly grew out from behind Yuzu, and they hit the walls of the houses on both sides of the street, almost embedding them into the walls.

Li You on Yuzu's back was very satisfied. He hung the Echo sniper rifle back on his back and took out another pair of long-handled weapons from his backpack - the dancer's magic sword.

When fighting with the dancer before, Li You used the duel field to snatch her pair of magic swords, but because the size remained intact, it was not convenient for him to use them normally.

However, in the case of cavalry warfare, this pair of magic swords, which are long enough and relatively light, have room to play.

"Yuzu, let's go!"

Li You shouted, and Youzi roared again, carrying him and rushing towards the street ahead!
Further down the street, a fire witch discovered them. She waved the light of fire in her hand and transformed her magic power into a long flaming dragon that soared into the air!
But Li You just laughed and rushed straight towards the flying fire dragon with Youzi!

"Take this knife from me!!"

"call out--!"

……

Street rear.

Edge and V each advanced with their weapons in hand, but V looked unhappy.

Because their mission was not to fight, but to follow behind to check for gaps and search for supplies.

Looking at Li You fighting fiercely with the Papal Knights in front, V couldn't help but say, "He left me behind again and rushed to the front by himself!"

Edge said, "Don't you like picking up trash?"

V said as if it was a matter of course: "I like to pick up trash ≠ I just want to pick up trash! I want to join in too!"

Aiji shook his head: "Since Li You said that we need to speed up the progress, it will be difficult for us to keep up with them."

V said dissatisfiedly: "That's it, I don't like it!"

——Behind the two of them, there were actually other people following them, namely Onion, Anri, and Horace.

They had come to Lenglie Valley with Li You and others, so they simply crossed the bridge together. Onion also got an admission ticket - a little doll that could cross the barrier.

Of course, the ambushing "crocodile dog" on the bridge - Saliman's beast, was sent away by Li You who was well prepared with a Dragon Flash followed by an Immortal Slash.

When Onion and Anli noticed the noise behind them, Li You had already beaten the sad beast into flying ownerless souls, and only the Pope's eye ring remained on the bridge.

Three people: “…!?”

Did he just chop something really outrageous?

Based on the remaining ring, Anri vaguely guessed what kind of monster Li You had just killed, and was shocked again.

This man wasn't even immortal, but he couldn't see the limits of his power.

What is his origin?
Anli exchanged glances with Horace beside him, and was once again glad that Li You was their ally.

However, they did not expect that the real shock was yet to come.

After crossing the barrier on the bridge and arriving at the small fountain square on the street of Irithyll, Li You looked at the stairs in front of him and directly gave instructions to Yuzu to enter the second stage.

Then, Onion, Anri and the other two watched as Yuzu, who was about the same height as them, gradually began to change his shape. His body expanded rapidly, and scales and bone spurs grew. Finally, he turned into a posture like a wingless dragon!
Three people: "???"

Anri couldn't help himself this time and asked, "What on earth is this...?"

Li You just chuckled: "This is Yuzu's innate ability."

Then, he turned over and rode on Yuzu's back, and directly killed the Papal Knight who was patrolling in front!

Only the three dumbfounded natives Ashes were left, staring at Li You and Yuzi's backs in silence - until this moment.

Looking at the bodies scattered all over the ground, Onion couldn't help but ask Anri and Horace, "You two seem to be from Astra, right? Have you ever heard of... a strange existence like Yuzu in your home country?"

Anri and Horace looked at each other and shook their heads.

"…Really? I think so." Onion said, "I have heard rumors about the Road of the Ancient Dragon. It is said that people can integrate the power of the ancient dragon into themselves through a special ceremony, and even their form will change."

"Although I have never seen it with my own eyes before, I think it should be like that. The power of the ancient dragon is indeed extraordinary."

Anri and Horace were also thoughtful.

Edge and V in the front heard their conversation, and their expressions looked a little strange when they exchanged glances.

Although Onion's conclusion is far from the truth, it seems quite reasonable. After all, Yuzu's current "lizard" form is really about 60% similar to the legendary dragon.

I wonder if we can find the right "materials" when we get to the Ancient Dragon Peak to allow Yuzu to acquire the true dragon form?

Li You in front naturally didn't know what they were discussing. After all, he and Youzi were charging in front, and they only needed to fight hard to kill the enemy, unlike the people in the back who were responsible for picking up garbage who had to consider so much.

Li You and Yuzu broke through all the way and rushed directly to the altar where the Fire Witch and the Pope Knights gathered!
This altar is just below the steps at the entrance of Shaliwan's church, and is the place with the largest number of enemies on the streets of Frigid Valley.

As soon as he passed through the stone archway, Li You saw two fire witches and at least five papal knights, all turning towards him! At the church door above the steps, several patrolling papal knights were also coming!
There are more enemies here than in the game, but Li You is not afraid at all.

Following a vague chant, the two fire witches simultaneously shot the light of the torture of fire! Two pillars of fire appeared side by side from under Yuzu's body, and then immediately rose up!

However, Li You and Youzi had already taken a step ahead and separated to the left and right. Youzi roared and pounced on the Pope's knights, while Li You held the knife in both hands and rushed towards the Fire Witch on the side of the altar!

Blood-red flames and golden lightning rose from the two swords, and they slashed down alternately with Li You's movements!
“——Immortal Slash!!”

When Edge, V, and Onion arrived again, they still saw corpses on the ground. Li You was standing on the altar, gently picking up a ball of soul light.

"You are here."

Before Onion and the other two could recover from the shock of Li You's extremely efficient killing efficiency, Li You had already looked at them. His face was stained with the blood of the enemies, but he still had that iconic smile.

“It’s a perfect time.”

He raised his knife and pointed it upwards. "Salivan is in the church over there. I have already eliminated all his minions. He is alone now." "How are you guys doing? If everything is ok, we will charge into the cathedral now and capture... No, kill Salivan!"

Onion, Anli and the other two looked at each other, looked at Li You who was full of murderous intent and momentum, and Yuzu who was moving his claws non-stop, and none of them said anything to object.

"Okay! Then let's go together! There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with a man like Sullivan!"

As he said this, he put away the Sun's Eldest Son Ring that he had just picked up from the altar, and rode on Yuzu's back again: "Then it's still the same, Yuzu and I will lead the way! Yuzu, let's go!"

Yuzi roared, jumped up, and landed in front of the church door. He pushed hard again and broke the church door open!

"Salivan, you traitor! Come out and die!!"

Li You immediately rushed in with Youzi.

As for Edge and V below, as well as the three Ashes, they could only follow closely behind.

However, when they pushed open the door and followed into the church hall, they found that it was clean and tidy, and there were only Li You and Youzi in the entire hall.

Everyone: "?"

Li You dealt with Salivan so quickly?
That's not right. No matter how bad Salivan is, it's impossible for him to be killed instantly before he can even fight back, right?
At this time, Li You was also very confused.

Because when he and Yuzu rushed into the hall, there was really no one there. Pope Sullivan, who was supposed to be there, was nowhere to be seen.

Li You: "?"

How come Sullivan heard the report from the Papal Knight in advance and ran away before him?

But I didn’t come knocking on the door with a small leather shield?
Where can this bastard Salivan run to?
Li You was still a little unwilling to give up, so he searched the church twice with Youzi and asked the humanoid radar Edge, but the final conclusion was that there was nothing in the church except them, a Porsche sperm on the second floor, and a treasure chest monster.

Li You was really confused by the trouble.

No, what about the Saliwan people?

How can I be such a big boss?
It can't be... that he has been beaten? It doesn't seem like that?

The Ashes trio behind them naturally understood what had happened. Anri thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Li You, "I've heard that Shalivan offered the former royal family's main god to the cannibal saint Aldrich, asking him to devour the god."

"Perhaps, at this moment, Salivan is in the royal city left behind by the former royal family?"

Li You frowned slightly after hearing this: If this is really as Anri said, doesn't it mean that the two BOSSes, Sullivan and Aldrich, are put together?

Hit two at a time?

This...how to say it, although the Souls series does have high-difficulty BOSS battles involving two or even multiple players, generally speaking, each individual in such multiplayer BOSS is not too strong.

The most difficult plot among all of them may be the one where the protagonist of the first generation fights against the Lion Knight Ornstein and the illusion of the Executioner Smough in the royal city of Anor Londo.

But if Sullivan really ran to share a room with Aldrich, the difficulty of this battle would probably be even more exaggerated than the one that year.

Even Li You, who was eager to make a breakthrough, had to calm down and start thinking.

After a moment, he looked at Onion, Anri and the others and said, "...It seems that Shalivan may have indeed hidden in the abandoned royal city of Anor Londo. If this is true, it means that we will have to fight a powerful greatsword magician and a Cinder King at the same time. This battle will not be easy."

"So I think we should not act impulsively, but should plan carefully before taking action."

He turned his head to look at the exit on the other side of the church, and then continued, "I will go with my companions to investigate the road to Anor Londo and confirm whether Salivan has really shrunk."

"As for the rest of you, how about you go back and rest for a while? We have come such a long way this time."

Anri said helplessly: "Although we did walk quite far, we basically didn't encounter any battles..."

But she understood Li You's considerations, so she nodded and said, "I understand. Then I will go to your Firelink Shrine with Horace to disturb you."

Li You nodded: "You are very welcome."

Onion said: "I am sorry, my friends, but it is almost time for me to say goodbye to you and go find the way to the underground prison of Irithyll."

"After all, we each have a mission, and I have a promise to fulfill..."

The honest Onion spoke with an unusually heavy voice and tone.

Although the others were puzzled, Li You knew exactly what he meant by the promise, so he just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, and be careful on your way. I'll be heading to the underground prison soon."

Hearing this, Onion returned to his usual attitude and said with a laugh, "Then I'll go and clear the way for you, my friend!"

So, the group dispersed. Onion went to find the dark prison hidden under the Frigid Valley, while Anli and Horus teleported to the Firelink Shrine.

As for Li You, he stood in the empty church hall and thought for a moment, then patted Youzi's leg and said, "Become smaller first, as small as possible, but don't go back one stage."

Aggie asked: "Aren't we going to Anor Londo to confirm it?"

Li You nodded: "Yes, but let's go back and choose another way."

Edge, V: “?”

Li You didn't explain much. He took the two of them, as well as Yuzu, who had shrunk to about three meters in length, back to the abandoned small church on the other side - the Yurshika Church.

The campfire here has been lit, because this is the path that Li You just pointed out to Onion.

Onion was already exploring the path downwards, but Li You was not going to follow him. On the contrary, Li You was going to go upwards.

Going up the narrow stairs inside the Church of Yorshika is an enclosed high tower space. Looking up, you can see layers of wooden planks crisscrossed inside the tower.

Such a height is an insurmountable chasm for the undead without knees. Even for the Faded Ones with knees, they cannot jump to the wooden planks on the bottom floor by themselves.

However, this is naturally not a problem in front of Li You and his group.

Grappling hooks and tentacles flew out one after another. Li You took V with him, and Edge hung on Yuzu's back. The four of them quickly climbed to the top floor along the space inside the tower.

The top of the tower here is also very narrow. Apart from the hole in the middle, only the edge can be moved.

Looking out from here, the surroundings are empty and there is nothing to rely on. The top of the tower is like an isolated island in the sea, and there is no way to leave.

However, outside this lonely tower, there was a person sitting upright.

It was a strange woman, draped in white gauze, with a deformed body, extremely thin arms, a long tail behind her, and tiny colorful dragon scales around her eyes.

She just sat quietly on a simple wooden chair, staring at the distant horizon without moving.

Hearing the noise coming from behind, she slowly turned around and saw Li You slowly approaching.

Although Li You's face was still stained with blood and he was covered with various weapons, the dragon girl was not panicked. She looked at Li You carefully before speaking softly:
"…Who are you?"

"My name is Youershika, and I am the leader of the Dark Moon Knights. Why are you stopping here?"

Li You did not answer, but came to her, paused, and then bowed to her in a very solemn posture, almost kneeling on one knee.

Yurshika: “…!!”

"You are..."

Edge, V: "???"

Wait a minute, what are you doing?
