Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 428: The Immortal Squad

"...The Undead Squad has not been corrupted by the Abyss. Are you sure?"

Although it was unexpected, Li You immediately guessed the reason for Hawkwood's change of mind, so he asked again.

But Hawkwood didn't answer, he just raised his sword and rushed towards the red-eyed undead team closest to him!
The two Faran swords collided, and Hawkwood's power was not surprisingly at a disadvantage. But his reaction was not slow at all. He raised his sword and retreated, causing the Red Eye Undead Team to subconsciously chase him. Then he swung the dagger in his left hand and easily pushed away the opponent's Faran sword!

"Pfft——!!"

Of course Hawkwood would not miss the opportunity, and he thrust his sword forward, piercing the opponent's chest.

Li You in the back raised his eyebrows.

Hawkwood is like a completely different person.

That's understandable, after all, he and the Undead Squad were taught by the same master, and they know each other well. The problem is that the Red-Eyes Undead Squad, who have been eroded by the abyss, not only have their brains gone, but they also have an additional DEBUFF that was affected by the special attack of the Farlan Greatsword.

Miyazaki's games are always very rigorous and strict in strange places. If the settings and item descriptions indicate that someone has a special attack against someone else, then their related weapons, and even hostile creatures and bosses themselves, really have this feature, with very few exceptions.

For example, the Hip Hop and their weapons actually increase damage against Abyss-related creatures, and the same is true for Dragon Hunter Armor against dragons.

Therefore, the street dance team's standard weapon, the Fran Greatsword, can really restrain the power of the abyss.

The Red Eye Street Dance Team was pierced by Hawkwood's sword, and the flesh and blood around the sword melted quickly like ice and snow in the heat. The Red Eye Undead Team roared and tried to struggle, but a cold light flashed between their necks, and most of their necks were cut off in an instant. With blood gushing out, they fell to the ground.

Hawkwood's Flan sword slid out, and V appeared in front of him, the sword in his hand still stained with blood.

V put two fingers together and lightly wiped the blade with a handsome movement. Then, without further ado, he turned around and rushed towards the next awakened Undead Soldier.

The members of the street dance team are all undead, and it is difficult to kill them completely. Perhaps it is the characteristic of the Faran Temple here. After they fall down, they will not return to the campfire like normal undead, but will gradually recover on the spot and then stand up again.

Perhaps for the Farlan Undead Squad, this temple is their campfire, their second home.

So at this moment, from time to time, revived Undead Squad warriors would stand up from the ground. Compared to the BOSS battle in the game where at most three would appear in one stage, the current Undead Squad did not care about that at all. They would be resurrected immediately after recovery, which was very troublesome.

Fortunately, most of the undead were still lying safely on the ground and had not awakened, otherwise it would have turned into a group fight and it would have been really troublesome. There were dozens of undead lying in the temple alone.

On the other side, Yuzu was protecting Edge and also attacking continuously. The Dragon Hunting Arrow was still very effective against enemies of the Undead Team. After all, even though they were a little taller, they were still humans according to the setting. Unlike the Gods, the Qi in humans was naturally far less powerful than that of the Gods, so they were more likely to be defeated and exposed.

So Edge and Yuzu cooperated, one shooting and the other defending, and V found that the Undead Squad was really impossible to kill completely, so he joined them and was responsible for finishing off and luring the enemy. With the cooperation of the three, they were invincible.

Not to mention them, even Patch who was sneaking in the corner, holding a large shield and a spear, secretly grabbed two kills by finishing off the enemies.

Yuzu Aggie naturally didn't bother to argue with him, but V looked at him and thought he was quite funny. Fortunately, Li You didn't kill him last time.

Facing V's gaze at the Joker, Patch didn't understand what was going on, but still smiled.

V: Look, he is still happy.

On the other side, Hawkwood and Li You started to cooperate.

Hawkwood finally had the will to fight and wanted to deal with the teammates who were eroded by the abyss. But the Red Eyes Undead Team was not the only one in the temple, there were also members who were not infected by the abyss.

But Hawkwood continued to chop them down.

The two Faran swords intersected, sparks flew, and Hawkwood fought with a normal Undead Soldier, but of course he was no match for the opponent.

Hawkwood gritted his teeth and wanted to hold on, but he heard a "bang" and a flash of fire. Blood instantly appeared on the helmet of the street dance team in front of him, and the whole person staggered and retreated.

Hawkwood didn't hesitate at all and immediately stepped forward and struck with his sword!
"Pfft——!"

As one of the undead fell, a flash of knife appeared beside him, and the Dragon Flash Moonlight Blade flew past, ripped open another undead, almost cutting him in half.

Li You's figure landed not far from Hawkwood. He looked at the corpses of the Undead Squad on the ground, and then looked at him.

Facing Li You's questioning eyes, Hawkwood gritted his teeth and said, "This is... what the Fran Undead Squad does!"

Li You thought about the plot of the game. The Fran Undead Team would greet the player Ashes with the Undead Team etiquette before coming up to chop people. It seems that this is indeed their style?

Emmmm...beat up the newcomers first when they join the team?
If this is true, Li You can only say that there is something wrong with the top management of the Undead Squad.

Fortunately, Hawkwood explained: "They took the initiative to attack me because they knew they were also being eroded by the abyss, but they haven't completely lost their minds... The soldiers of the Undead Squad will never become puppets of the abyss!"

Li You understood. This was the only explanation that made sense.

So he raised his sword and swung it with a powerful ten-character slash, beating another attacking Undead Squad warrior so hard that he retreated with serious injuries. Then he said, "In that case, I won't be polite either!"

Li You really didn't intend to hold back. The undead soldier who was wounded by him was still gasping for breath when a blood-red light flashed and a long sword with a bloody blade pierced through his chest!

"Pfft."

The Undead Squad originally wanted to struggle, but when he tried to raise his hands, he found that all his strength and vitality were rapidly draining away from his body, and the undead curse of the undead was powerless to stop it.

The Undead Soldier was stunned for a moment, then realized that death had come.

At this moment, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He looked at Li You and then at Hawkwood. Then, as Li You pulled out the knife, he fell down. The knife wound on his chest oozed blood, but it did not heal itself.

The Blood of Immortality slashed out, severing both life and the curse.

But the knife only appeared for a short time and was instantly put back into the sheath by Li You.

In fact, according to the game world view, the original Undying Slash could not do such a thing. No matter how powerful Sakura Dragon was, he could only call the shots in the island country in the Sekiro world. But in the Dark Souls world, there were real gods.

However, the world that Li You experienced was different from the original game setting. Now that the two Undead Swords were merged, and the Sakura Dragon's resentful blood shadow was integrated into it, the Blood Undead Sword had the ability to completely kill the undead.

When this undead soldier fell, all the undead soldiers in the temple sensed something and turned around to look, ignoring the enemies in front of them.

Then, regardless of whether they had red eyes or not, the undead teams rushed towards Li You!
"Uh uh uh--!!"

With a shout, one after another, the Undead Squad used wolf arrow steps and street dance sword techniques and pounced on Li You!

Li You also raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that showing the Undead Slash would provoke such a strong reaction, but he was not panicked. He used the grappling hook and the Feather of the Mist Crow and easily broke out of the encirclement and came to the other side of the spirit temple.

The red-eyed Undead Corps wanted to pursue, but those who still had some sense recovered and turned to hack at their corrupted companions.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a moment.

Li You was not in a hurry, and led his companions to fight steadily, taking advantage of the internal strife of the Undead Team to expand the results of the battle. The Blood Undead Slash was always out of the sheath, always flashing, and after killing the opponent, it was put back into the sheath to suppress the Dragon of Resentment.

Yuzu, Edge, V, Hawkwood and even Patch all cooperated with each other and achieved great results. Under the response of everyone, the warriors of the street dance team fell one by one.

This doesn't mean that their combat effectiveness is weak. The Undead Team as a whole is the King of Fire, and the combat effectiveness of each individual member is limited. Now they are fighting on their own, and even fighting among themselves. It is normal for them to be caught and defeated.

After all, the Street Dance Team became the Cinderella Kings with their collective strength. If a single Undead Squad warrior who is not in Cinderella form can catch up with a strong man like Salivan, then wouldn't they be able to punch Lothric and kick Irithyll in their heyday?
That is obviously impossible, and as immortals, they have natural limitations after all.

In fact, as an army composed of undead, the qualification of the Fran Undead Corps to become the Lord of Cinder is the wolf blood shared by everyone - that is, the blood of the Wolf Knight Artorius, one of the Four Knights of the King.

Artorius was indeed a powerful god in the past, but just sharing the wolf blood he left behind was enough to make the Undead Corps the King of Cinders, which shows how big the difference is between the Age of Gods in Soul One and the End of the World in Soul Three.

In short, under the attack of Li You and his group's weaknesses, and with the Blood Undead Slash being drawn out from time to time to reap, the number of undead soldiers who could stand up in the spirit temple finally decreased to fewer and fewer.

Finally, the last undead who could still move was severely injured, his legs softened, and he half-knelt on the ground. He supported his body with the Flan sword, barely staying upright, and then looked at Hawkwood.

Meeting his gaze, Hawkwood could not help but tremble all over. This was not fear, but emotion that was difficult to conceal.

In the eyes of Li You and others, every Undead Soldier except Hawkwood looked the same, but Hawkwood obviously recognized his comrades. At this moment, looking at the Undead Soldier who still refused to fall, Hawkwood trembled his lips and uttered two words in a barely audible voice: "Captain..."

Hearing this call, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the Undead Warrior. He did not reply, but took a last look at Hawkwood and raised his dagger.

"puff--!!"

Under the surprised gaze of the crowd, the Undead Warrior whom Hawkwood called the captain slit his own throat with a dagger!

Blood spurted out and the captain of the Undead Squad fell down.

Hawkwood trembled and wanted to go forward to check, but Li You suddenly grabbed him.

He turned around and saw Li You frowning and whispering, "...Wait, something's wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that in the entire temple, all the fallen undead soldiers were covered with strands of blood that was almost black.

The blood floated up, gathered in mid-air, and then... headed straight for Hawkwood!

At this moment, Hawkwood and Li You's faces changed drastically!

“This is… hell!”

It goes without saying that Hawkwood came from the Undead Team. As for Li You, anyone who has fought against the Undead Team in the game will recognize him. The blood floating from the Undead Team is the wolf blood that they inherited and shared!

Wolf blood is the reason why the Undead Squad becomes the Lord of Fire. When all the wolf blood gathers on one person, that Undead Squad will be transformed into the Lord of Fire.

Originally, after all the Undead Squad members fell, the wolf blood should have gathered on the Undead Squad leader, but now, perhaps because Hawkwood was present and still standing, the wolf blood actually came towards him!

Li You and Hawkwood both understood the consequences in an instant. If the wolf blood gathered on Hawkwood, he would gain the power of the Undead Squadron's Cinderella King - this was not a good thing, because in that case, he would become the target of Li You's killing.

After all, what Li You wants is to bring Chai Xin, the Fire King of the Undead Corps, back to the throne.

After figuring this out, Li You immediately reached out and grabbed Hawkwood!

Of course, he was not thinking of taking the initiative, but to throw Hawkwood out of the Faran Temple. No matter what, Hawkwood was also his comrade-in-arms, and Li You had no habit of killing his comrades-in-arms.

But he grabbed Hawkwood's collar and pulled, but Hawkwood didn't move at all!

Li You was also stunned. With his current strength, how come he couldn't catch Hawkwood?

But when he turned around, he immediately discovered the problem. Hawkwood also realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave the temple.

However, the Faran Temple is like a second home to the Undead Squad warriors. Now that the wolf blood has appeared, Hawkwood is once again in a state of being unable to control himself, with his feet rooted to the ground!
Seeing the panic on Hawkwood's face, Li You understood that he was bound by the Farran Temple. Even if he drew his sword and killed him now, he would slowly revive in the temple like the fallen undead, instead of returning to the nearest campfire.

Li You tried to teleport him away with the spiral sword fragment, but it failed as expected. As for pulling him into the companion space, it seems to be solvable in theory, but the problem is that the camp teleportation takes ten seconds to read.

The wolf blood that gathered seemed to be slow but was actually fast, and did not leave Li You enough time to read the bar.

Li You's mind raced in an instant, and in a flash, he and Hawkwood thought of the same thing.

"Glorious Dragon Head/Dragon Body Stone!"

The two of them instantly exchanged glances, and saw the same idea in each other's eyes, so Li You stretched out his hand and instantly took out his own Glorious Dragon Body Stone, and Hawkwood also took out the Glorious Dragon Head Stone. Li You pressed the Glorious Dragon Body Stone into his hand, and the two Dragon Body Stones instantly emitted light. Hawkwood held the Dragon Body Stone and suddenly roared!
“Ahhhh——!!”

A storm of air wrapped around his body and scattered, Hawkwood's battle robe was torn into pieces, and his entire appearance suddenly changed. His whole body was covered with dry skin, his head became hideous, and grew curved horns, and he was transformed into a dragon man!

However, the dragon man transformed by Hawkwood was a little dragon man who used the dragon body stone to transform normally, that is, the kind of black, dry and skinny dragon man that can be seen everywhere in Gulongding, which is completely different from Li You's dragon man form.

Similarly, the power of the ancient dragon that this little dragon man can use is fire breathing and dragon roar. The Brilliant Dragon Body Stone can summon the phantom of the ancient dragon, but that's all.

But at the moment, Li You and Hawkwood were not trying to improve their combat effectiveness, but to use the power of the ancient dragon to transform into a dragon and resist the infiltration of wolf blood.

Sure enough, after Hawkwood turned into a dragon, the wolf blood that was gathering and about to fall on him suddenly stopped, and then circled around Hawkwood several times as if it had life, but ultimately could not find a way to penetrate into his body, and finally had to turn around and leave.

Although the Dragon Body Stone can only simply transform into a dragon, it still possesses some of the characteristics of an ancient dragon, such as skin that is close to stone, making the little dragon man look like an inanimate object.

Perhaps that was why Hawkwood had been able to deceive the wolf blood—after all, wolf blood was a lifeless and unintelligent thing.

Hawkwood had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before he had time to wipe the sweat off his face, he saw the wolf's blood that had turned around and left, this time rushing into the body of the Undead Captain on the ground!

Hawkwood froze again, and Li You beside him frowned slightly.

Coming?

The wolf blood seeped into the body of the Undead Captain and disappeared. Then, the Flaan Great Sword in the Undead Captain's hand suddenly burst into flames!
The captain of the Undead Squad slowly raised his body, the flame on the Farlan Greatsword was burning vigorously, and sparks were also lighting up his body little by little, like firewood with a smoldering fire.

Fran's Undead Squad, the Fire King form!
Before Hawkwood could react, the Undead Squadron in the form of Cinder Lords rushed up with greatswords in hand!

"boom--!!"

He rushed forward with the sword, and flames ignited wherever the sword passed on the ground. The speed and power of the sprint increased dramatically. Hawkwood only saw a figure flashing in front of him, and the Cinderella Undead Squad had already arrived in front of him, slashing down with a sword!
Hawkwood was shocked and only had time to raise the Farlan Great Sword in his hand to block it. But the Cinder King Undead Squad did not hold back and the great sword fell, directly chopping Hawkwood away!
"Boom-!!"

With this heavy blow, the little dragon Hawkwood crashed directly into the wall of the temple behind him and fell to the ground. The greatsword of Fran fell out of his hand and he was unable to get up for a long time.

The Fire King Undead Squad did not pursue, but turned around and looked at Li You!

"boom--!!"

The street dance sword was spinning, emitting flames. Li You retreated while swinging his sword to block, but his hands were still numb from the heavy blows from the Fire King's Undead Squad, and there were signs of cracks at the base of his palms.

The moves of the Cinderella Undead Squad are not much different from before, except that they are more flexible, have more variations, and have greatly increased speed and strength. Finally, every heavy attack will produce flames.

Well, that's all.

It is obvious that the captain of the Undead Squad in the form of the Fire King has gained all-round strength. His movements are now so fast that Li You can hardly dodge them, and his strength is enough to steadily suppress him so that he cannot raise his head, not to mention the rising flames.

Fortunately, Li You has now reached the master level in terms of swordsmanship and energy cultivation. He was able to counter the opponent's moves and was only at a disadvantage.

The Fire King's Undead Squad pressed forward step by step, forcing him to retreat again and again. However, Li You was not without opportunities to fight back. Instead, he was luring the enemy deeper into his territory.

The Faran Great Sword was deflected by Li You again. After a long time of attack, the Cinder King Undead Team was not discouraged. They could see that Li You's strength was limited. As long as they worked harder, they could...

"Shua——!!"

Suddenly, a whistling sound came from behind, and a cold light went straight to the back of the head of the Cinder King Undead Squad! But the Undead Squad suddenly turned sideways, raised the dagger, and blocked the incoming knife light!
The sneak attacker was V. She swung her sword at the fastest speed, but unexpectedly, it was still accurately blocked by the Cinderella Undead Squad.

The speed and reaction of the Undead Squad in the form of Lord of Fire are not much worse than those of Sian Westin's fully activated V, and they are more stable than Li You.

"boom--!!"

After blocking V's slash, the Cinder King's Undead Squad's daggers also caught fire! The flames rolled along the interlaced blades towards V, burning her so much that she groaned and quickly retreated!

The Cinderella Undead Squad did not give up and turned around to chase after V. He swung the greatsword of Fran, leaped suddenly, and performed the three-step street dance.

First he used the dagger as an axis to circle the ground, then swept the greatsword horizontally, followed by a pirouette, further pressing, and finally he turned over and jumped, slashing down vertically with the greatsword of Fran!

"boom--!!"

Fortunately, V accelerated Sian Westin to the extreme, and his figure flashed, barely avoiding the sword of the Cinderella Undead Squad. Although she was still inevitably burned by the flames, the dancer armor on her body provided enough defense, so that she did not suffer too much injury.

Behind the Cinder Undead Squad, Li You was chasing closely. Aggie, who was supposed to provide remote support, could not keep up with the speed of the Cinder Undead Squad. Even though she had already drawn her bow and drawn her arrow, she did not dare to fire. Yuzu could react, but his combat power was limited at this time, so he had to protect Aggie first.

Hawkwood had naturally also climbed up, but he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the Salvation King's Undead Squad, so he could only chase after Li You.

As for Patch? When the wolf blood gathered and the Undead Team activated the Cinder King form, he took the opportunity to run away with the bucket.

Patch: Here it comes.

Woc Salary King Undead Team!
slip away.

Li You also noticed Patch running away, but he had no time to pay attention to him.

He chased after the Undead Squad, and seeing that the Undead Squad was chasing V relentlessly, he immediately used a Dragon Flash!
"call out--"

"boom!!"

The Cinder King Undead Squad turned around instantly, and with a horizontal slash of the flaming Farlan Great Sword, he smashed the Dragon Flash Air Blade. As for the subsequent vacuum wave, he took it calmly, just shook his body, took a step back, and stood firm.

He looked at Li You, and then was about to rush forward with his sword!

"Shh-!"

There was a flash of silver light, and at the moment when the Cinderella Undead Squad slowed down, Edge finally seized the opportunity and shot out the dragon-hunting arrow!

The Cinderella Undead Squad would not take her attack lightly, but he took a step and tried to dodge.

But at this moment, a red indicator light covered him, and Li You in front also blew a whistle!
“Wow!!!!”

The gravitational field covered down, and the sudden change in gravity made the Fire King Undead Squad shake. Then a bony hand broke out of the ground and grabbed the Fire King Undead Squad in its hand!
A familiar combo, but useful. If these two moves are fully fired, they can control the body of the Nameless King for a few seconds, and naturally suppress the Cinder King's Undead Squad.

And taking advantage of the moment when he was unable to move, the dragon-hunting arrow accurately pierced his chest!

Then, Li You, V, and Hawkwood all raised their weapons and attacked the Cinderella Undead Squad together!

The Dragon Flash Moonlight Blade was swung again, and it seemed that dozens of blade beams were connected into one, and the Fran sword also spun and chopped down!

"boom--!!"

Various sounds merged together, and finally almost converged into a roar of explosion, which suddenly exploded on the Fire King's Undead Squad!

Amid the air currents, flames and smoke, the figures of the Fire King's Undead Squad could not be seen clearly, they just seemed to be kneeling on the ground.

Hawkwood was very nervous and asked, "Did you win?"

“——Get out of the way!”

Li You's loud shout was heard, but it was still a step too late. The flaming Fran sword had already pierced the abdomen of the little dragon Hawkwood!

"Pfft."

The little dragon Hawkwood trembled all over and struggled to raise his head, only to see the Cinder King's Undead Squad walking slowly out from the smoke with swords in hand.

His body was covered with hideous and cracked scars, and half of a broken dragon-hunting arrow was stuck in his chest. It was obvious that the attack from everyone just now had caused him considerable damage.

But even so, his movements were not affected at all, as if those horrific wounds were not inflicted on his body at all.

The Cinder King's Undead Squad looked at the little dragon Hawkwood, swung their swords, and threw him far away.

Li You on the side sighed secretly.

It's obvious that Hawkwood has never seen the world. Do you understand that there is smoke but no harm?

That’s fine, but in this situation he even dared to be the first one to ask whether he won or not. This behavior of rushing to stick a flag on his own back shows that he is in a hurry to die!
Li You then raised his sword and rushed forward again: "Hawkwood, your sacrifice will not be in vain!"

Hawkwood on the side: “…”

Although, I'm not dead yet!

This is the Faran Temple!
