Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 403 My badge is shaking. There must be someone nearby...

Fortunately, Yurshika's reaction immediately answered the onlookers' doubts.

When she saw Li You's actions, she was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something and nodded slightly.

"...It's been a long time since I last saw this courtesy. I understand why you came here. Although this is a Knight Order without any one, I am still its leader and I should fulfill my responsibilities."

As she spoke, she stood up and extended her hand towards Li You.

“…It is truly precious that you have come here to listen to my words.

"If you are determined to become a Darkmoon Oathbearer and fight against the enemies of the traitors, become the shadow of our father Gwyn and our sister Gwyavia, and become the sword that fights against the enemies of the traitors, I will protect you and help you defeat the enemies with the power of the Shadow Sun and the Dark Moon."

The ceremony of pledging to become the Sword of Darkmoon is simple, and it ends here.

Yurshika sat back on the wooden chair and spoke again: "From now on, you have become the Sword of Darkmoon and the only official knight of the Darkmoon Knights. You must fulfill your knight's duties and remember them with this emblem."

A faint light appeared in her hand, then floated down in front of Li You and turned into a badge. The badge consisted of a silver crescent moon and a sword, and contained some unknown power.

The pattern of the dark moon and sword is the symbol of the Dark Moon Knight.

Li You then stood up and hung the badge of the Dark Moon Sword around his waist.

The leader, Youershika, spoke slowly: "Dark Moon Sword, you must have gone through a lot to come here to find me. But you must not stop here. This is the captive tower. If you stay here, it will surely make the usurper Shaliwan unhappy."

At this point, she paused again before continuing, "...I haven't heard a human voice for a long time. Knight, I would like to express my gratitude here."

"May the grace of the Dark Moon always be with you."

Li You changed his habit of talking too much in front of Yuershika and became silent. After hearing Yuershika's instructions, he just nodded and turned to Yuzu and the others: "Let's go."

Yuzu came to the edge of the tower top and his body shape had recovered a little. Li You and the other two hung on him, then Yuzu jumped hard and jumped to Anor Londo which was higher up!
"Boom-!!"

After they left, Youershika turned around, took a look and sighed.

The place where Yuzu landed was exactly where the campfire in Anor Londo was. Edge and V jumped down, and Li You reached out and lit the campfire.

He looked forward again, and this was the entrance bridge to the first royal city, Anor Londo.

At the back is a huge spiral staircase preserved from the era of Soul One. In front is a wide staircase extending upward, and then there is the gate of the royal city of Anor Londo.

The towering Royal City Temple has tall spires on top and relief carvings on its outer walls that have faded with the passage of time. The whole building is both solemn and gorgeous.

Anor Londo was once the temple of the gods and the center of the rule of the sun gods. But today, all the gods have left this place, and the only god who remained has become food for the later ones because of the betrayal of the outsider Shalivan.

Gwyndolin, the Shadow Sun, is the youngest son of Gwyn, the Dark Lord. He was raised as a girl because he possessed the power of the Dark Moon.

After the end of the era of Dark Souls 1, he seems to be the only god left in Anor Londo.

As the only remaining main god, Gwyndolin himself defended the temple in the royal city, while letting his sister, Gwyn's offspring, the half-dragon Yor'thika, serve as the Pope of the church.

But later, the arrival of an ambitious young magician, Sullivan, changed everything.

When the protagonist Ashes wakes up, the ruined Anor Londo has undergone another great change. Gwyndolin is no longer there, and in the former royal temple, there is only a mad Lord of Cinder, Aldrich, who devours gods.

Looking at the towering Royal City of Anor Londo, Li You was also distracted for a moment.

But at this time, V poked Li You with some curiosity: "So you went to find that person just now just for the oath? Why are you so serious this time? Last time, it seemed that you didn't care about Rosalia at all."

Li You came back to his senses, smiled at her and said, "The Dark Moon Sword is different from other oaths. Becoming Rosaria's finger is just to borrow her power of rebirth, and that oath was not made by me, right?"

V pouted, "Yes! I was the one who got that thing. I don't understand what you were thinking."

"Instead of worrying about all this, let's get things done quickly." Li You said, patting Youzi on the back. Youzi let out a low growl, and his body returned to its original size!

"Well, let's see if Sullivan is here now!"

Li You rode on Yuzi's back again and planned to rush to the Royal City Temple. The gate of Anor Londo should be closed and need to be opened by internal mechanisms.

Considering its key position as the main god's temple, as well as the tall and majestic metal gate itself, Li You decided not to try to force his way in, but to enter through the side door.

...That's what he originally thought.

But when he jumped up the stairs on his pomelo, Li You realized something was wrong. There should be two silver knights patrolling the gate, they are also the main ear suppliers in the game, but there is no one here at this time.

Taking two more steps up, the panoramic view of the gate of Anor Londo came into view, and the heavy gate was actually open at this time!
At the open door, a giant cursed spider, the same one as the one in the Deep Church, lay quietly on the ground, staring outside the door with a pair of slightly glowing eyes.

Inside the temple hall, the papal knights lined up in an orderly formation, and the stairs and platforms on both sides were filled with blue-robed bishops and fire witches of varying heights and weights. All of them stared at the gate with vigilance!
As soon as Li You came up riding on Youzi, the cursed giant spider discovered them, immediately stood up and roared.

Then, all the Youshen bishops who occupied the high ground in the hall set their eyes on the two of them. They immediately raised the candlesticks in their hands, and fireballs burst out, smashing towards Li You and Youzi from afar!
"What the hell..."

Li You didn't even have the chance to finish his curse words before he was carried by Youzi and jumped back down to the bottom of the stairs. While dodging the flying fireballs, he also got rid of the pursuit of the cursed spider.

The big spider just came out to take a look and immediately shrank back, with no intention of pursuing any further.

Edge and V also came over. They had understood the situation through the mental link: "What should we do now?"

Li You recalled the scene he had just seen in an instant, and finally his attention was fixed on the stairs at the end of the hall. The tall figure vaguely emerging and the two big swords in his hands were impressive.

"…Salivan is here indeed!"

Li You also frowned. He didn't expect that Salivan not only fled to Anor Londo, but also gathered his Papal Knights and the Deep Bishops here.

What does this mean? It can't be that he was frightened by my previous breakthrough in the streets of Irithyll, right?

This Pope is obviously very powerful but overly cautious?
But no matter what, such tight defense makes a frontal breakthrough almost impossible.

It should be possible to fight a long-range battle. Don't forget that Li You's echo has unlimited ammunition. It will just take a little time.

But the problem is that even if we clear out these miscellaneous soldiers, we will still have to face the mixed doubles of Aldrich and Sullivan, which is a difficult combination to deal with.

"You really gave me a difficult problem, Sullivan."

Li You tightened and loosened his grip on the knife, and finally put the Immortal Slash back into the scabbard.

“…Forget it. We’ve confirmed that Sullivan is here, so there’s no need to worry. He probably won’t leave in the short term—of course, it would be even better if he really left.

"Since he comes prepared, there's no need for us to rush and play with him."

Li You has made a decision.

"Let's go back to the Youershika Church first!"

……

——Inside the church.

Li You stood at the door, looked at the several statues of flutes placed on the right, and shook his head.

"I'm not happy with these statues. Yuzu, smash them all!"

Yuzu: "Ouch!!"

The largest statue among them immediately shook, and magical light appeared on its body, as if it was about to change its shape.

But Yuzu had already crashed into him hard!

"Boom-!!"

"what……!!"

After a scream, a female pilgrim who was also carrying a tortoise shell fell down helplessly, and a bright magic scroll fell from her body.

Li You picked up the scroll and said, "Keep going!"

——Under the Irithyll Street Bridge.

Li You lit a campfire in an abandoned house on the street a few steps away from the shallow water under the bridge.

He glanced at the stairs leading to the basement and waved again: "Next stop!"

——The Pope’s backyard.

This is a PVP holy land, and also the activity place of the Oath Spirit, the guardian of the Devouring God.

The so-called oath spirits are spirits that are transformed by obeying the call of their own oaths. The Fran guards active in the Crucifixion Forest, the God-eating gatekeepers active here, and the church spears in the Ringed City are all oath spirits.

At the same time, the Blue Guardian and the Oathblowers of the Dark Moon Sword also appeared as Oathblowers when they were "on duty".

In the game, players will only be invaded if they pinch the embers. However, from the perspective of background setting, although the dark spirits represented by Rosaria's fingers generally only invade the ashes with the power of fire, the oath spirits that guard a place are not like this. As long as someone steps into their territory, they will be summoned.

However, maybe it was because the worldview had been adjusted by the system, but Li You had been wandering in the Crucifixion Forest for so long before, and he had not encountered any French guards. Similarly, at this time in the Pope's backyard, he only saw two mercenaries from Dolan blocking his way.

These two Doran mercenaries, one uses a duel hammer and the other uses a pair of pistols, and they can also use resin enchantments, but they still have no ability to fight back in front of Li You and his group.

The difference between the upper and lower limits of beings like Ashes and Undead is really huge. Undead with poor skills and weak souls are just food for the enemy no matter how powerful their equipment is.

Probably because the Deep Bishops were all transferred by Salivan, the only people blocking the way here were two Dolan mercenaries and a few small slave giants in the backyard square. After the group quickly dealt with them, Li You waved away the phantom wall leading to the backyard sewer - the water tank.

In the water tank below, there lived two crocodile dogs, the beasts of Salivan. These former knights had completely transformed into beasts and no longer looked like humans.

After killing these two beasts, you can obtain another precious ring, the Ring of Favor, so this is Li You’s last battle on this trip.

Looking at the two huge beasts lying quietly on the left and right in the wide water tank, Li You drew his knife.

"You want to fight, don't you? Here you go." He said to V, "The one on the left is left to you and Edge."

V held a nao in one hand and a sniper rifle in the other: "I can't wait any longer!"

Li You also smiled and said: "Then... let's do it!"

"call out--"

As soon as he finished speaking, V activated Sian Westin and rushed out at full speed! Aggie assisted her with a longbow, and Li You did not hesitate and once again showed the dancer's magic sword.

And it was different this time. Li You was holding the magic sword with dark magic power in his hand, and the other one with flames attached to it was held in Yuzu's mouth!
"Ouch!!"

Yuzu bit the hilt of the Flame Demon Sword and growled, while Li You laughed and waved the Demon Sword: "Let's go!"

"Roar--!!"

The battle here was short but intense.

Li You and Youzi were fine. They now cooperated better and better, and their own abilities had also greatly improved. Working together, they easily dealt with a wild beast.

There was no big problem on V's side. V used Sian Westin to quickly attack, and Aggie relied on the longbow to support at medium distance. The gold-plated arrows she fired were all aimed at the head and eyes of the crocodile dog. V almost stabbed the vital points from behind the dead corner throughout the whole process. His fighting style was very fair and aboveboard. This crocodile dog was also a powerful monster that was once nicknamed "Crocodile King" by players, but with the cooperation of the two, he was still fooled around. In the end, under V's gravity suppression and weapon output, the second beast was unwilling to fall.

The battle was over, and Li You successfully obtained the golden ring of favor after the two beasts turned into drifting souls.

This ring can increase vitality, energy and weight, and is a very versatile auxiliary equipment.

After accepting the ring, Li You’s work here was finished.

He was about to return with his companions, but suddenly he felt a heat on his waist. He looked down and saw that the emblem of the Dark Moon Sword was emitting light alternately!

"This is……"

Li You was stunned, then realized something.

“My badge is shaking, there must be a female sorcerer nearby… No, there must be a Gwent master… No, that’s not it.

“——There must be a dark spirit invasion!”

He pressed the badge of the Dark Moon Sword, felt it quietly, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

"On the bridge in Irithyll! Go!"

——On the bridge.

Cirris, wearing white light armor, holding a large rapier in one hand and a talisman in the other, was dodging back and forth, stabbing into the air from time to time.

The scene seemed a little funny, but when Li You arrived and got closer, a blood-red figure wearing chain mail, an iron mask and holding a short-handled axe appeared.

His entire body was a striking crimson color, and this was the intruder who appeared in the form of a spirit. As for why he couldn't be seen from a distance, it was because he was wearing a magic item called a phantom limb ring, which could prevent people from being spotted from a distance.

Although Siris was proficient in miracles and skilled in using the rapier, the axe in the intruder's hand contained the power of thunder and lightning, and his chain mail had a very good defensive power. Siris was not even an undead, and could only rely on miracles to recover, so she gradually fell into a disadvantage in the face of Clayton's fierce attack.

Li You knew this red spirit, his name was Wandering Clayton, a character who first appeared in Dark Souls 2. For some reason, he became Rosalia's finger in Dark Souls 3.

But none of this matters. What matters is that this guy also cheated Li You in the second generation, and now he has become Rosalia's finger.

So there's no need to say more about what this is for, right?

Li You's mind moved, and Youzi had already understood what he meant. He immediately roared towards the sky, and then suddenly pounced towards the two of them!

Hillis and Clayton, who were fighting, looked over instinctively. When they saw Li You riding on Yuzu rushing towards them, both of them widened their eyes!
However, Clayton's focus was on Yuzu, who looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, while Hillis was looking at Li You on his back.

Li You didn't care about that. Yuzu had already slapped Clayton with one claw!
Clayton's reaction was quick. He rolled over to avoid Yuzu's attack and claws, and even stood up to fight back.

But the tentacles behind Yuzu immediately pulled out and directly blew him away several meters, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Li You jumped off Yuzu's back and turned to look at Sirius: "Are you okay?"

Sirius wanted to answer that it was nothing, but in the blink of an eye she saw the flashing Dark Moon Sword badge hanging on Li You's waist, and her eyes widened.

"you……"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

In the distance, Clayton struggled to get up from the ground. Yuzu was definitely hit hard by the blow just now, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured. After getting up, he took a sip of the element bottle and rushed over again with a roar!

Li You: “Huh?”

Are you really brave?
Clayton's own strength is actually quite impressive. After all, he is a person who wandered from the second soul to the third soul, and traveled to various places and forces. If he didn't have some abilities, he would have become a wandering soul long ago.

He dared to rush forward at this time. Li You probably thought that Youzi was an unintelligent beast and thought that he could defeat him with his own skills and experience.

But let’s not talk about whether he has the ability to do it. Could it be that Li You just came to watch the show?

Li You felt that this was not right. He couldn't let Clayton ignore him and go to deliver the gift. So he shouted, "Yuzu!"

At this moment, facing Clayton who was rushing up and trying to get to her side, Youzi just swung out a claw and knocked him to the ground, and then she heard Li You's shout.

Yuzu immediately understood, retracted the tentacles that were about to pierce Clayton, jumped back, and pushed him a little further away.

Li You then stretched out his hand: "Duel field!"

This Clayton will invade twice in the game, once to find Sirius and once to find the protagonist Ashes. Only after you are invaded and defeated by him can you get the axe in his hand.

It just so happens that Li You said I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you, just give it to you!

The duel field unfolded, Clayton and Li You were covered in it, while Shiris, who was originally standing next to Li You, was pushed away for a distance by an invisible force.

"…!?This is…?"

Just then, Edge and V, who were left behind, also rushed over and understood the situation as soon as they saw it.

"It's okay, he just wants the axe." V explained to Sirius.

Sirius: “……?”

In the duel area.

Clayton was a little surprised at first, but then he looked at Li You, his eyes flashing a fierce light through the peephole of the mask.

“Ahhhh——!!”

The spirits can't speak, but for some reason they can make war cries, which is very mysterious.

Clayton stomped the ground and roared with the dragon-slaying axe in his hand, then rushed forward with the axe raised high!
Li You wanted to try out his guess, so he put Lei Guang Yue Ying on his back and only held the Blood Immortal Slash.

Facing Clayton's powerfully swung battle axe, Li You suddenly raised his knife to block it, deflected the axe blade and turned the knife to cut towards Clayton's abdomen!

But Clayton was an old immortal who had experienced hundreds of battles after all. He reacted very quickly and rolled backwards immediately, barely avoiding Li You's sword attack, and then he struck back with an axe!
"clang--!!"

His attack naturally did not hit Li You. After being bounced off again, the impact of the strong energy also made him retreat two steps, and he was a little unbalanced for a moment.

Of course Li You would not miss this opportunity and immediately slashed with his sword!

Although Clayton wanted to dodge, he was a step too slow and his mail armor was cut and his arm was slashed by the Blood Immortal Slash!
He took two steps back again, looked at his arm which was bleeding, and quickly took out the element bottle and took a sip.

But this time it was of no use, his wound was still bleeding!
Even Clayton, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

Li You took the opportunity to step forward and kicked Clayton in the stomach!

"Boom--!"

Clayton was kicked out again and rolled on the ground twice before getting up. The wound on his arm was bleeding profusely, and Clayton realized that he couldn't do this.

So he rummaged in his arms, took out a strange potion in a gorgeous golden bottle, and drank it in one gulp!
It was a secret medicine that could completely restore a person's health - the blessing of the goddess.

Li You was waiting for him to drink this stuff.

He watched Clayton drink the goddess' blessing, and the wound on his arm glowed faintly, then actually stopped bleeding and began to heal slowly.

However, the wound stopped healing halfway through, as if a small bottle of the goddess' blessing was not enough to suppress the deadly blade of the Undead Slash.

But Clayton no longer cared about the wound on his arm. After it had recovered to the point where it no longer affected his movements, he rushed forward again, wielding his battle axe!
"Qiang——!"

But this time the result was very different from what he expected. Li You instantly pulled out his second knife, Lei Guang Yue Ying, and swung the two knives one after another. One knife knocked the battle axe out of his hand, two knives cut through the flesh and blood of his legs, and the third knife, the Immortal Slash, turned around and directly beheaded Clayton!

"Shh-"

The red head shot up into the sky and before it could fall, it turned into a soul and dissipated.

On the ground, Clayton's headless body gradually dissipated. Part of the wandering soul was absorbed by the Dark Moon Sword Badge, and then turned into a pale ear and fell out.

Li You: "!!"

ear! !
He reached out his hand almost instinctively and grabbed the ear in his hand, then he realized, something is wrong, I'm not brushing my ears!

Damn, the fear of ears (not enough) is really engraved in the DNA of Dark Moon Cops, and Li You is no exception.

He was grinning, and the Dragon Slaying Axe that had fallen to the side floated up gently and fell into Li You's hands.

This axe often appears in the hands of Gaoqiang Salary King because of its inherent lightning damage and good basic panel. It is nicknamed "Tu Xin Axe". Li You has also felt its power.

The duel field disappeared immediately. Li You waved the battle axe in his hand, feeling the touch of this familiar yet unfamiliar weapon, and finally said...

The feel is average.

But as for Tu Xinfu, everyone knows it. It has the damage and the module. But if we really talk about the feel, it's too difficult for people.

He put away the Tuxin Axe, looked at Siris not far away, and spoke again: "Okay, it's all right now."

Siris looked at the Dark Moon Sword badge on his waist again before saying, "Thank you very much for your help... Glorious Dark Moon Sword."

“Although I don’t know when you became a member of the Dark Moon Knights, since you can obtain this honor, it must mean that my previous judgment is correct. You are indeed a kind person.

“The dark spirit just now was Rosaria’s finger. These despicable and corrupt people who gather in the dark are our eternal enemies and terrifying invaders.

"Without your help, I would have been hard-pressed to cope with this...Thank you again for your help."

V on the side had a slightly strange expression on her face and took a step toward Yuzu's back, but Sirius didn't pay attention to her. Instead, she continued to look at Li You and said, "I don't have many valuable things on me, so I'll give this to you as a thank you gift."

She took out a silver cat-shaped ring and handed it to Li You.

Li You: Appeared! The Soul World Aboriginal Classic Gift Ring!
But despite all the complaints, the Silver Cat Ring can protect the wearer from falling damage. Although it is only effective within a certain height, it is still good, so Li You naturally accepted it.

Finally, Sirius said: "If I can help you on your journey, please touch my mark. I hope you will be blessed by the moon along the way."

She said goodbye to Li You, then half-knelt on the ground, used the amulet in her hand, performed the miracle of teleportation, and disappeared from the sight of Li You and others.

"Well... I did gain something."

Li You looked at the Dragon Slaying Axe, the Proof of Agreement (ears) and the Silver Cat Ring in his backpack and was satisfied.

Unfortunately, what he wanted to know most was, if he killed someone's spirit with the Undead Slash, would his true body be affected?

However, Clayton's real body is nowhere to be found, and his mummy doesn't seem to have appeared on the bridge here. It seems that this question cannot be answered.

Shaking his head, Li You closed the system panel and said to his companions, "Let's go back to the Fire Sacrifice Site."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be new guests visiting us this time."
