Chapter 404: Three Swords of Hostility, Ancient Customs

Fire sacrifice site.

As soon as Li You returned to the Firelink Shrine, Greyrat came over after hearing the noise.

"My lord hero!" He came in front of Li You and said in a low voice, "...someone is coming from Yuel's side."

Li You's eyebrows moved slightly, but he was not surprised. He just said: "It's really fast... I'll go and see it."

He came to the back of the Fire Shrine passage, to the corner where Yuel was staying. Yuel, with his tortoise shell on his back, was still waiting there, but there was another person beside him.

It was a masked woman dressed in black. She wore a long black skirt that looked like mourning clothes, but black armor was visible on her arms and under her skirt. Her entire head was covered by a bird-beak mask.

Li You narrowed his eyes slightly.

As expected, here she is, Julia of Londor.

Julia is one of the three leaders of the Black Church of Londor. They are also the daughters of Kaas, the World Serpent, and the founders of the Black Church.

Julia is the second of three girls, but because her eldest sister has already been touched, now only she and her younger sister Liliane are managing the entire Kingdom of Wandering Souls.

And because there are probably not many normal people in the Kingdom of Wandering Souls, so while sending pilgrims to various places, she also has to go out in person to do business and select their Wandering Soul King.

Yuel and the unknown pilgrim following Anri were the ones who were tasked with selecting the king.

Of course, the one who bewitched Anli had been killed by Li You and turned into a "mimicry" magic scroll and put into his backpack.

And Yulia, maybe this is also why she came?

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Yulia, who seemed to be talking to Yuel, turned around. Although her face was covered by the bird beak mask, Li You still felt two cold eyes shooting out of the peephole and falling on him, with a faint murderous aura.

Li You also looked serious.

Based on this pressure alone, he could conclude that Yulia was definitely not as weak as she appeared in the game.

But Li You soon felt itchy again.

He just had a fight with Clayton, which was a warm-up, but it was not satisfying. If it was Yulia, the "Hundred Knight Killer", I wonder if she could show enough fighting power?

Thinking of this, Li You subconsciously touched the hilt of the Lei Guang Yue Ying sword at his waist.

Yulia was also staring at him intently. When she saw his movements, her eyes moved and she glanced at the two knives on Li You's waist and back, then she was silent for a moment.

After another pause, she said, "...You are the one who took Yuel in?"

"I am Yulia of Londor, a friend of Yuel. You helped him, and I thank you as a friend."

Yulia bowed slightly, then added: "But at the same time, I cannot ignore another thing."

"Not long ago, my shadow reported to me that another friend of mine was killed by someone unknown in Irithyll of the Frost Valley.

“My friend also had an important mission, but the person who did it was very decisive. He killed her without any explanation and left immediately. Even my shadow could not find any trace of her.

"I had originally planned to give up. After all, the world is too dangerous nowadays. There are lunatics everywhere and countless people have died in vain. It is almost impossible to find the killer.

“But I didn’t expect that when I came to check on another friend, I got an unexpected reward.”

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked directly at Li You, her tone becoming a little cold: "That person is you, right? I can feel that the soul of the Londor pilgrim remains in you."

She originally thought that Li You might deny it outright, but unexpectedly, Li You nodded sincerely: "Yes, it's me."

Yulia: “?”

She was also stunned: "You... are not even immortal, so aren't you afraid of death?"

Li You smiled and drew out the Undead Sword: "I am afraid. Not only am I afraid of death, I am also afraid of the dark and zombies."

"So, I can't bear to see you Londor people wandering around outside. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yulia understood, and her voice immediately became a little cold: "I see. The reason why you took in Yuel and killed the pilgrims of the Frigid Valley was to interfere with us?"

"Since you want to become Londor's enemy, I don't need to say anything more to you. I will take Yuel away.

"Goodbye, you daring man. Next time you step out of the Firelink Shrine, you will be met with the blade of Londor!"

Li You: "...ah?"

You don't fight? Why are you so good-tempered?

However, Li You's ears moved slightly, and he had already caught the noise behind him and reacted.

When he was just having a friendly exchange with Yulia, teachers Oubeck, Komikus, and Greyret all came over to observe the situation. They all looked alert, and it seemed that if Yulia really chose to fight with Li You, they would probably help.

Although Yulia was confident in her own strength, she did not want to fight Li You in his home court, so she announced her escape.

But Li You couldn't accept this!
I've already taken out the knife, and you just say you don't want to fight?

Looking at Yulia who returned to Yuel, Li You thought for a moment, took out a bullet from his backpack, and threw it at Yulia like a pebble.

"Boom."

The bullet hit the back of Yulia's mask, making a dull sound and causing some insignificant damage.

Yulia paused for a moment before turning around and said, "...Stop, unless you want to become the soul killed by my sword."

"call out--"

The second bullet flew over and hit Yulia's bird-beak mask accurately, causing 1 point of damage again.

"...Don't stop!" Yulia yelled.

“Swoosh—boom.”

Yulia finally got angry: "How dare you! Then come and try the power of my Darkness!"

Li You was originally taking it seriously, but he almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

Can we not mention darkness?
But before he could complain, Yulia had already grasped the magic sword at her waist. Although the handle of the sword was wrapped with cloth, it was still recognizable as the handle of a samurai sword.

However, after Yulia pulled out the knife, the blade turned out to be invisible and intangible, and the blade could not be seen at all.

This blade is Yulia's weapon, the Demonic Blade Darkness. It is said that the invisible blade can ignore the defense of shields and armor, and there is no way to defend against it.

"It is said that a single swing can kill a hundred knights," this is the item description of Darkness. But in fact, the power of this weapon in the game is so great that Darkness and Yulia have become a long-lasting meme.

As for the content of the stalk, it all starts with a knight named "Bai Ming"...

However, although he plays memes in the game, Li You is still very cautious when facing an invisible knife.

Seeing Yulia swinging her knife at him, Li You immediately pulled back. They were in the corner of the passage, which was too narrow and not suitable for display.

Of course, Yulia followed closely.

The two ran out of the passage, one in front of the other, and ran all the way to the campfire in the center of the fire sacrifice site. Naturally, they alarmed everyone who could be alarmed along the way.

But this time, Mr. Obek and Komikus looked at the situation, then looked at each other, shook their heads, and did not choose to join the battle. Only the thief Greyrat followed behind quietly, holding his small package with some worry.

Yulia chased to the campfire in the fire sacrifice site, and seeing that Li You didn't seem to intend to stop, she snorted in dissatisfaction, took out a few purple poisonous flying knives from behind, and threw them at Li You from a distance!
However, Li You seemed to have eyes on his back. He turned around immediately, raised his knife to block, and deflected the three poisonous flying knives. He did not run away, and immediately swung his knife at Yulia!

Yulia held Darkness in her right hand, and a small ball of blood-red mist of irregular shape in her left hand. Facing the blade swung by Li You, she raised her left hand, and the blood-red mist turned into a rippled shield, blocking in front of her!
"Boom-"

The blade of the Blood Immortal Slash slashed on the invisible ripple shield, but was actually blocked and bounced off, as if it had hit some solid rock, and there was an echo.

However, Yulia herself did not seem to be feeling well either. She groaned, and several long and thin wounds suddenly appeared on her left arm, with blood splattering everywhere.

Yulia took two steps back and her eyes fell on the Blood Immortal Slash in Li You's hand. She felt the strange energy invading her body and said:

"...That sword has a very special power. It is a real threat of death even to the undead. Where did you get this magic sword?!"

Li You simply shook the Undead Sword, shaking off a few drops of blood that had appeared out of nowhere on the blade, and then said, "Guess?"

Yulia's words turned cold: "It doesn't matter. When I kill you, this magic sword will belong to Londor."

Li You grinned and said, "If you can do it, come and try it."

"Hmph!" Yulia didn't waste any more words. She rushed forward quickly, raised her Darkness and stabbed at Li You!

"clang--!!"

Although he couldn't see, Li You still accurately swung his sword to deflect Yulia's attack!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the two knives of Yulia and Li You crossed each other, and the two separated again.

But they looked at each other and rushed forward again!

"——Great! Wonderful!"

On the steps of the Fire Shrine entrance, Edge and V were sitting on the edge watching the show with Yuzu, who had returned to human form.

V was extremely engaged and almost wanted to applaud. It looked like he really wanted to open a bag of potato chips and eat while watching.

The Fire Keeper also stood beside the three of them. She listened to the sounds of Li You and Yulia fighting below, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "...Aren't you going to help Lord Li You?"

V said: "He asked us to watch from the side first, it's not that we don't want to."

The Fire Keeper was also a little surprised: "Who exactly is Lord Li You..."

"I don't know. We don't understand what he is thinking sometimes."

Meanwhile, Li You and Yulia were fighting fiercely below.

The Darkness in Yulia's hand has the characteristics that the blade is invisible and the attack cannot be blocked by shields and armor, but Li You does not use a shield to block it. Instead, he uses all his strength in the Undead Slash to repel the Darkness.

Yulia was actually quite puzzled as well. Li You's move was actually not much different from techniques like parrying. Yulia, who was a veteran in many battles, had seen this before.

But the problem is that Anlong's blade is completely transparent, unlike in the game where you can see the outline. So how did Li You accurately intercept Anlong's blade path?

Yulia became more and more frightened as the fight went on. Finally, she couldn't help but take two steps back, then raised Anlong horizontally, and the magic power in her body began to gather on the blade!

"Let me see if you can block this!"

As she spoke, Anlong had already stabbed forward with a sharp aura and magic power!

And Li You suddenly opened his eyes!

His body was pierced by the invisible darkness, creating a large hole that was transparent from front to back. But before Yulia could rejoice, she saw Li You's figure gradually dissipating into mist.

Yulia: “……!?”

And then, three more figures of Li You appeared beside Yulia, and each of them swung their swords at her!

Yulia was not sure which one was the real body, and she did not dare to be touched by the Blood Immortal Slash in Li You's hand, so she could only bend and roll, avoiding Li You's attacks in a ungraceful posture, and threw out several poisonous flying knives with her backhand!

Yulia had a very strong combat instinct, and she immediately determined that those besieging her were phantoms created by Li You, and were most likely very fragile.

Sure enough, none of the three figures had any intention of dodging the flying knives. After being stabbed by the poisonous flying knives, they all dissipated like smoke.

...Where is Li You! ?
Yulia was startled and looked around but saw no one. But then she suddenly realized something and looked up!

Above her head, Li You, with a little black smoke floating behind him, suddenly pressed down!

Yulia still wanted to dodge, but the gravitational mechanical gloves that Li You had put on at some point flashed red, and the gravitational field had enveloped both of them. The sudden increase in gravity caused Yulia's movements to pause!
Similarly, Li You fell even faster!
"Boom--!"

"what--!!"

With a muffled sound and a scream, Li You's Blood Immortal Slash pierced through Yulia's shoulder and nailed her to the ground!
Li You also stepped on her right hand holding the knife. With a force, the Knight Nemesis Dark fell out of Yulia's hand and rolled to the side.

“Mmm…!!”

Yulia raised her hand and tried to grab the Blood Immortal Slash that was piercing her body, but it was completely futile. Li You twisted the knife and broke free from her hand, and the pain caused her to scream out again.

"what……!!"

Yulia stared at Li You, trying to calm her breath, and said: "...Do it!"

"You don't need to tell me."

Li You was not vague. He pulled out the Blood Immortal Slash, raised it high, and swung it down quickly!
"Shh-!"

The Blood Immortal Slash accurately slashed across Yulia's neck, and the sharp blow cut off her life on the spot.

Yulia seemed to want to say something, but at this moment she could only whimper from her leaky throat, and her voice was immediately blocked by the gushing blood.

Then, Yulia's body turned into a soul and dissipated, leaving only her sword Anlun and a piece of remaining ashes.

Li You shook his sword, sheathed it, and then picked up the ashes of Anlong and Yulia.

One of the leaders of the Black Church of Londor bid farewell to this world and their ideals.

"Ah, ah, ah..." A crying voice came from the side. It turned out that Yuel came out. He looked at Li You and Yulia's relics in his hand, and his whole body trembled.

“Lady Yulia, how could this be… ahhhh…”

Yuel burst into tears, but soon he became increasingly short of breath and finally fell to the ground, his life gone.

Li You just remained silent, then put away Anlong and the ashes.

So far, no matter what Londor's plan is, it should be impossible to realize it.

In fact, although Li You didn't like Londor's way of doing things, he didn't have that much hostility towards Julia and Yuel.

However, as long as Londor is unwilling to give up their plan to seize the First Flame, they are destined to have no way of walking together with Li You.

Moreover, according to the style of Londor, they will show no mercy to their enemies.

In the game, if the protagonist Ash kills Yuel when he first meets him, he will be considered hostile to the Londor camp, and will be immediately invaded by Londor's killer, the White Shadow, in the Undead Settlement.

That’s not all. Later in the Fran Fortress and the Frigid Valley, the White Shadow will invade once each, insisting on pestering the enemy until they are dead.

Li You had already killed the pilgrim who "guided" Anli, and met Julia again at the Fire Shrine, so he didn't need to think too much to know what she would do after she returned.

So this ending was already within Li You's expectations.

Shaking his head, Li You came to the maid in the passage and handed Yulia's ashes to her.

"...Ah, my hero, you actually gave me the ashes of a person who just died. This is really heartless."

Having said that, the old maid smiled hoarsely: "Well, old woman, I am just a maid. You have the final say on what to do. I will turn these ashes into food and add new goods for you."

Before Li You could answer, Teacher Oubeck from the other side of the passage came nearby and waved at him.

After Li You came to him, Oubeck looked at him and said, "You killed that woman...Yulia. And you used your magic sword. It seems that the leader of the Black Church is really dead this time."

Oubeck said, shaking his head: "I can understand that you and she have a conflict of ideas, but I still want to remind you, you must not abuse that knife."

"No matter who you are or whose life you take, there will be retribution one day. I didn't realize this until I got my hands dirty. Don't be a fool like me."

Li You said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Oubeck looked at him and said, "Well, I can see that you are a guy with your own will, unlike me. Maybe this is a good thing..."

Oubeck shook his head and sighed, saying no more. But Li You remembered something and asked, "By the way, when Yulia and I had a conflict at the beginning, you seemed to want to help. Why didn't you intervene later?"

Hearing this question, Oubeck looked at him strangely and said, "When you had a conflict with her later, weren't you the first to start a fight? Provoking her three times is considered as starting a war. You used this old-fashioned way to provoke Yulia. Aren't you trying to duel with her? Of course I won't interfere."

Li You: "?"

You wait a moment?

Is there really a setting where you have to chop the enemy three times?

"Of course, don't you know?" Obake's eyes became even more strange. "This is a custom passed down from the Age of Gods. It is an established rule. If you didn't know, how could you provoke Yulia in that way?"

Li You: "6."

The game is set in a strange place that becomes the background of the world.

This really ruins the experience, right?
