I, with no quirk, become a hero!

The greatsword of Fran slashed down at the ground, causing a violent explosion of fire. Not only was Klaus hit by three fire pillars in an instant, but even Leo, who was standing in the corner of the room, had one-third of his blood burned by the gushing fire pillars.

"This is too much... This is totally cheating!"

Leo drank a sip of the elemental bottle in a hurry, and he began to roll on the ground for emergency evasion. As the saying goes, professional Dark Souls players who can't understand the attack will just roll around blindly, which is better than standing there and getting beaten.

On the other side, Zapp dodged the pillar of fire in an emergency. Without saying a word, he picked up a knife and slashed at the "Abyss Watcher". Anyway, there was only this guy in the second stage, so he would win if he concentrated his fire and killed the BOSS first.

As soon as he approached the range of the "Abyss Watcher", the ferocious and swift Fran's greatsword swung at Zapp with three warning blows. However, this bad man completely dodged it with extremely skillful sliding and rolling, and his movements were even smoother than Klaus's.

With a flash, he rushed to the back of the Cinder King BOSS, and Zapp stabbed him directly with his double blades. At this moment, he said with great pride:

"After being hacked to death so many times by that bastard at the Fire Shrine, even a pig would dodge the attacks!"

After being chopped down by Brother Dispirit, Zapp went through many death ordeals before he figured out this bastard's routine. Now it happens that the swordsmanship of the "Abyss Watcher" is the same routine, and Zapp said he has no problem adapting to it.

"Good job, Zapp!"

Interrupting the attack of the Abyss Watcher, Klaus, who was forced to move away by the pillar of fire, seized the opportunity to get closer and immediately hit the Lord of Fire with two warning swipes of his huge sword. The poor captain of the Fran's Undead Squad had just been insidiously backstabbed by Zapp.

This time, with Zapp's assistance, Klaus fought against the "Abyss Watcher" much more easily than last time. You know, even though he defeated the BOSS in one try the second time, Klaus was still trying hard to avoid the dense flames and close attacks throughout the whole process.

As the saying goes, teammates are strength. When you can't defeat a difficult BOSS, it is often much easier to call three Sun gays than to conquer it alone. Of course, if you are a masochist, just pretend I never said this.

The situation became much simpler next, because with the help of Zapp's backstab, Klaus's pressure in facing the Abyss Watcher was greatly reduced, and his terrifying damage output continued to inflict damage to the Cinderella boss.

Leo, on the other hand, held up his shield and hid against the wall the whole time. As a newbie, he just had to watch the boss help him fight the boss. Don't be greedy and run up to deal damage or backstab him. It would be really embarrassing if he was killed instantly by the boss's three consecutive attacks.

The second stage did not take long. After Klaus and Zapp repeated the same process three or four times, the life of the Cinderella boss "Abyss Watcher" dropped to the ground, and the strategy was completed.

"Great, it's done!"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the message that he had obtained the item. Looking at the terrifying attack method of the "Abyss Watcher", if he were to take on the role, he would probably never be able to complete the game in his lifetime.

"Well, the next step is to help Zapp clear this level. Stephen and Qian will be here soon."

The "Libra" members acted separately. Stephen and Qian Huang went to conquer the "Deep Cathedral" area first. After helping Klaus find the route, the Deep Bishops were quickly conquered, and the two of them then turned around to conquer the Fran Fortress.

On the contrary, after defeating the Fran's Undead Squad, Leo and Zapp had to rush over to defeat the "Crystalline Old Man" and then go through the two regional BOSSes of the "Deep Bishop Group".

But this is still a relatively simple situation. After all, in the game "Dark Soul", we will not comment on the most powerful BOSS, but there are definitely only a few weakest BOSSes... Crystalline Old Man, Deep Bishops, Overlord Vorniel, Demon King Oceroes.

When it comes to strategizing about the BOSS in "Dark Soul", most players will prepare for the BOSS's weak attributes before starting the strategy, however these few are the exceptions... Other BOSSes are weak to fire, weak to lightning, weak to darkness, etc... and these few are stupid.

Of course, the Overlord Wolnir is excluded, this one is a weak bracelet...

51. Virtual War (Thirteen)

"Leo, I'm going to kill you!!"

"Ahem...Mr. Zapp, please talk nicely~~~Don't be impulsive!"

"what happened?"

In the Firelink Shrine, many people appeared around the bonfire. Most of them were invited by the game companies they loved to take part in the testing of new games. They didn't expect that the training would be like hell.

Most of the famous Dark Souls players have now become hopeless and collapsed on the ground like salted fish. There are also a few attackers who were accidentally captured by "Allergy King" and the four members of "Libra".

And now sitting next to the bonfire is the "Evil King" himself. After Midoriya took some effort to light the bonfire of the Frost Valley Church, he returned to the Firelink Shrine to replenish consumable items. Then he saw Zapp and Leo. At this moment, Zapp had a dark face and looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"It's Mr. Midoriya..."

"Leo, just wait for me, I will chop you into pieces when I get out!"

Looking at Leo who was extremely embarrassed and trying hard not to laugh, and then looking at Zapp's face with a damn expression, even Izuku Midoriya became very curious. How could a situation make Zapp look like this?

The answer is yes... Then Midoriya knew why Zapp looked like he wanted to kill Leo.

"Leo, that bastard, actually lied to me that there was a beautiful goddess imprisoned in the "Deep Church", causing me to waste a lot of time running around the map... The result... The result! !"

"Pfft...isn't this good?"

After hearing this, Midoriya couldn't help but burst out laughing. There was indeed a real goddess in the "Deep Cathedral", "Mother of Rebirth Rosalia"... But the situation at the scene with this goddess was a little unacceptable.

"What the hell! That thing down there is a maggot...Fuck! My dog ​​eyes are blind!!"

Zapp wanted to gouge out his eyes and throw them into the bonfire. It’s not that Rosalia, the Mother of Rebirth, was not pretty...but when a beautiful goddess hugged a large maggot man, the visual impact almost made Zapp vomit on the spot.

Zap felt that his worldview was shattered. His only thought now was to kill Leo, the bastard, when he got out. If this bastard was fooling him, Zap would never have run to such a secret room like Rosalia's dormitory and left.

"Ahem... Mr. Zapp, I'm very sorry for doing this, so I'm going to tell you another important piece of information."

"On top of the church tower in the Frost Valley, a beautiful princess is imprisoned, waiting for someone to take the knight's oath with her."

"Bah! You bastard, if I believe you again I'll be a dog!!"

"Tsk... forget it if you don't believe me."

Leo had an expression that indicated that it didn't matter whether you believed it or not. He had already said everything he needed to say, and it would be his own business if he missed the beautiful view.

"Speaking of which, Leo...I didn't expect you to be so sinister at times."

Midoriya turned his mouth to whisper in Leo's ear. He was surprised to see that this young man was so treacherous that he made Zapp want to die.

"Mainly, I really want to know what Mr. Zapp's expression will be when he sees Rosalia, the mother of rebirth, with great anticipation."

"All in all I just want to say one thing....well done!"

Izuku Midoriya gave Leo a thumbs-up encouraging expression. It was rare to see Zapp with such a tearful and suicidal expression, which was really pleasing.

"Now I want to know what expression Mr. Zapp will have when he goes out after he misses Youlshika?"

“I want to know too…”

The two reached a consensus in an instant. Midoriya and Leo both decided to keep the information about Yurushika secret and wait until they go out to see what kind of wonderful face Zapp would have.

But now seeing Zapp's expression as if he wanted to pop his eyes out, it makes people feel that his SAN is almost zero.

The gossip ends here. Regarding the well-known players who came to "Dark Soul" for game testing, among them, the "Abyss Watcher" Faran's Undead Squad is a difficult level to cross. However, even this almost heaven-defying Cinderella BOSS still cannot stop the backstab of the righteous "Sun Knights".

After a few Dark Souls masters formed a team and cleared "Abyss Watcher", they continued to explore the map and came to Irithyll in the Frigid Valley, only then they were truly desperate. Not to mention the three hairy dogs on the bridge... These hairy dogs are known as the Cinderella Dogs in the game. Their attacks are so high that two hits will kill them instantly with full health, and their attack frequency and speed are so fast that people hate them to the point of gritting their teeth.

Normally, most players would have to risk their lives several times before they had a chance to succeed in killing a dog. However, there were three dogs on the bridge now, and these three dogs were attacking at the same time, which made people despair to the point of wanting to die.

Fortunately, this hairy dog ​​is a BOSS-type monster. After being killed, it will not reappear like the regional BOSS. So the righteous "Sun Knight" cooperated with the summoned teammates and successfully killed the three Fire King dogs on the bridge by exchanging lives for lives. Then they came to the city streets of the Cold Valley... and then.

"What the hell is this!"

The Sun Knight cursed angrily at that time. If you want to know what made him so angry, you will see that the streets of Frost Valley are densely packed with Papal Knights and magicians, about five in a row, patrolling back and forth like a military patrol.

"Sun Knight" He had tried it at that time, but the smuggling methods such as invisibility and mimicry were completely ineffective. The idea of ​​parkouring to light the bonfire was pure delusion, and it was completely a situation of running towards death.

After risking his life to investigate the situation, he found out that there were no more than ten Pontiff Knights from the Lengli Valley to the bonfire of the Church of Yurshika, but now there are almost a hundred of them. "Sun Knight" did not give up hope and tried some attempts, such as asking teammates to help him conquer the map.

Use a safe bow and arrow tactic to lure monsters over. I'm sorry, it seems that the five Pontiff Knights in a team will come over together, because the configuration is two Pontiff Knights with shields, two Pontiff Knights with curved swords, and a knight using fire magic.

Although it looks scary, "Sun Knight" initially thought he could still handle it, so he called his friends to play the game together. As a result... there is an alarm function now?

After using bows and arrows to pull monsters to start the battle, two Pontiff Knights with curved swords came directly with their swords to chop people, and the "Sun Knight" held the shield to pull monsters to attract hatred. While the wizard teammate was accumulating strength in the back to prepare to use the ultimate move to kill the magic knight, the two Pontiff Knights with shields took out the horns from their waists and blew them... The next moment, hundreds of Pontiff Knights besieged these ashes who came to spread the fire.

The fire can’t be spread... The Sun Knight gave up thinking... This is no longer a game that humans can complete.

After learning the bad news about the Frigid Valley, most of the players who hadn't even completed "Abyss Watcher" chose to become insignificant players. This game was no longer playable.

In addition, Klaus has already lit a bonfire in the Church of Yersika. Although the defense of this map is much tighter, for this greatsword man who uses execution invincibility as a normal attack, he used the protection of execution invincibility to execute each religious knight one by one, and finally completed the feat of assassinating all the way to the bonfire.

52. Virtual Warfare (XIV)

Overlord Wolnir, I mentioned not long ago that he is one of the weakest bosses in Dark Souls. Of course, it doesn't mean that the boss in this area is really weak. His huge body and the abyss space still have a very terrifying deterrent power. It's just that this boss completely exposed his weaknesses in front of the ashes. In the dark area, the three bracelets emitting dazzling light are really eye-catching.

This time, even Leo didn't hold back his anger and call for help. He carried the "Wanderer's Cleaver" that he had strengthened not long ago, and without saying a word, he ran over and started to rush at the bracelet of Overlord Wolnir. After a few slashes, the BOSS lost one third of its blood with a "bang". Then Leo set his sinister eyes on the two gold bracelets on his right hand.

"As I said, it's easy for an old Dark Souls player like me to defeat bosses."

Having regained his confidence from Overlord Vornir, Leo proudly passed through the Catacombs of Kasas and came to the next area, Irithyll in the Frigid Valley. Looking from the cliff at this city covered in ice crystals, it is extremely beautiful. It is one of the few beautiful views in Dark Souls. However, it is another story when you actually get into the city...

After lighting the bonfire on the cliff, Leo looked at the bridge leading to the city of Frigid Valley but hesitated and stopped. Although there seemed to be no obstacles on this road, there was actually an ambush of a giant hairy crocodile, or a dog monster, named Dog Firewood King by Dark Souls players.

The legendary horrible monster that can eat half of your blood in one bite and kill you instantly with two rubs is stationed on the bridge. Although in fact you can speed up and run into the Frigid Valley when you first encounter this monster guarding the bridge, because there is a barrier blocking the monster from entering, but if you skip this hairy dog ​​monster, you will meet it in the pool below which is a must-pass place, and then it will be really heartbreaking.

Leo was determined to get rid of the hairy dogs here. He heard that the hairy dogs seemed to be very malicious. There were three of them on the bridge now. He wondered if the two in the reservoir had also been caught.

Regarding the current progress of the capture of "Libra", Klaus took the lead in defeating the Cinder King "Aldridge the Devourer of Gods" in the Frost Valley, and is currently heading towards the City of Sin to capture the area of ​​"Giant King Youm".

Stephen and Qian are currently trying to conquer "Pope Sullivan". This BOSS, collectively referred to as "The King of Law" by the players, is extremely difficult to defeat after gaining consciousness and thinking. However, it is still much worse than the Fran Undead Squad. So the two from "Libra" simply go to this BOSS to practice. After all, it would be too embarrassing if they had to trouble Klaus to lead them to defeat him for everything.

Zap is still a little behind Leo. This guy was accidentally chased by skeletons and fell to the "Smoky Lake" when the bridge was cut. After entering the hidden area, Zap went to chat with the "Old Demon King" first.

Having said that, Leo had no way to deal with the three Fire King Dogs stuck on the bridge. If a newbie like him went up to fight them, they would probably return to the campfire in less than three seconds. After thinking for a moment, Leo decisively pinched some remaining fire... and called for help.

Leo originally wanted to trouble Klaus to take care of him, but he got an unexpected response. Looking at the golden summoning symbol on the ground, Leo still summoned this big guy over.

"Do you need help from the Sun Knight?"

"Mr. Midoriya, didn't you go to the DLC strategy map "The Painted World of Eredel" first?"

"Tsk... that map room full of flies and eggs caused me both psychological and physical discomfort. I simply returned and said goodbye."

"Uh.....that's true..."

There are many disgusting maps in "Dark Souls", such as the Frigid Valley in front of us, which is also one of the most disgusting maps. But when it comes to disgusting monsters and disgusting environments... It used to be the swamp gas field of the Faran Fortress, and was called the "Fran Cessation" by players. It can almost be said to be a map designed with full of malice.

However, since the release of DLC1 of "Dark Souls", everyone has come to understand what it means that there is no most disgusting thing, only more disgusting things... It was disgusting even when looking at it on the screen at that time, let alone the real picture now.

When Izuku Midoriya almost reached the "Crow Village", he thought for three seconds and went back home. It would be better to give up on the map of this area... It was too much of a challenge for humans to accept.

The "Evil King" who came to help Leo advance the map with the "Oath of the Sun Knight" hung up the "Oath of the Sun Knight" and told the boy some good news.

"Except for the three dogs still on the bridge, the number of Pontiff Knights in the Frost Valley has been restored."

"Huh? Really?!"

"Well...after adding consciousness to Pope Sullivan, Allergy King realized that this area had become completely impossible to conquer, and he knew that it was too much, so he fixed it before."

"Why didn't you fix it earlier? It's impossible to play with something like this. I thought I was going to die countless times."

"Well... that guy's original words were: "As a game maker, I still want to see players be able to complete my high-difficulty design."

"That's bullshit! He's not the creator of Dark Souls. Don't copy Miyazaki XX and come up with this kind of masochistic design that makes people want to die. The "Allergy King" is a completely rip-off design that will make people die!"

There were countless curses in his heart. If it weren't for the "Allergy King", they wouldn't have come to participate in the game test, and Leo wouldn't have suffered so many unnecessary disasters.

“But it’s hard to say. After all, that guy is involved in the VR remake of Dark Souls. He still has the right to modify the difficulty of the game after the test is completed and released. So now so many people come to participate in the test mainly to increase the difficulty of the game, but at a just right increase.”

"Then don't do this kind of operation that starts with the difficulty of "Purgatory"..."

When I think about how Mr. Klaus cleared the Frost Valley, relying entirely on the invincibility protection time of backstab executions to get through the entire process... Is this still a game that humans can play?

"After Klaus has overcome his difficulties, the next things you will have to deal with, such as the Frigid Valley and the Rockris Royal City, will be much easier. At least you won't have to try to survive the Great Sword Loki that fills the entire Royal City."

"Wait... Mr. Midoriya, you are telling me a very scary story... The whole city is full of great swordsmen? Are they going to kill gods?"

"Haha~~Just pretend I never said that!"

Looking at the "Evil King" with dazed eyes, Leo could only pray silently that the subsequent strategy of Mr. Klaus would go smoothly, and hoped that his boss would not encounter too many difficulties.

Holding "Anri's Straight Sword", another artifact weapon also known as the "Lucky Wife Sword", Midoriya directly applied "Cassas' Red Knife" to it for bleeding enchantment. Although this Fire King Dog has a lot of hair, it is not weak to fire, but weak to bleeding... As the saying goes, you need a sharp weapon before killing a dog. Getting a good weapon will help you get through difficulties much faster.

Before he was about to go up the bridge to kill the dog, Izuku Midoriya stopped again, turned around and told Leo something in a serious tone:

"In Dark Souls, there is also the Hero Guda, a boss with enhanced consciousness. This is a boss that must be faced if you want to achieve the "extinguishing the fire" ending."

"The linear process is the fire transmission ending, and summoning the fire keeper is the "fire extinguishing" ending...so..."

"Think about it, why did "Allergy King" strengthen a powerful enemy that ordinary people cannot defeat on the way to the fire-extinguishing ending?"

52. Virtual Warfare (XV)

"Spreading fire... and extinguishing fire..."

Sitting by the campfire on the street in Frosty Valley, Leo carefully thought about what the "Evil King" had just said. After helping Midoriya kill three Fire King dogs, he had already gone back. Now it was time for Leo to deal with the map strategy that had been restored to normal.

The game "Dark Souls 3" is a game in which the mission is to continue the flame of life in the world and "pass on the fire". Players play the role of the ashes that have been burned by the fire. The main storyline mission is to kill the four fire kings and bring their firewood back to the fire sacrifice site, and then "pass on the fire".

Under the normal process, "Passing on the Fire" is considered the ending. However, as players continue to explore, they discover that in addition to "Passing on the Fire" there is also "Extinguishing the Fire", and welcoming the end of the world together with the fire keeper's wife... But for romantic players, "Extinguishing the Fire" is the orthodox ending.

"Ghost King", to achieve this ending, you need to complete a lot of troublesome side quests. Overall, it is a difficult and not very good ending, because there is no wife...

"Stealing Fire"... How can I describe this ending? Players who achieve this ending will probably be alone for the rest of their lives.

Leo carefully thought about the four endings of "Dark Souls". It is actually not too troublesome to achieve the "Fire Extinguishing" ending. He only needs to go to the "Unclaimed Cemetery" map to defeat the BOSS "Hero Guda", and then go to the dark Firelink Shrine to obtain the "Eyes of the Fire Keeper". After giving this to the Fire Keeper, his favorability will be maxed out. Then, when defeating the last BOS, he can summon the Fire Keeper to extinguish the fire, and finally welcome the end of the world with his wife.

Considering the strength of the "Abyss Watcher", Leo estimated that Mr. Guda, who was standing in front of the dark Firelink Shrine, was so strong that even Mr. Klaus might not be able to get through him easily... You should know that "Guda the Judge of Ashes" and "Guda the Hero" are two different concepts. One is the teacher who teaches you when you are just getting started... The other is the teacher who tests whether your "shield counter" skills are up to standard. If you fail, be prepared to go back to the bonfire and try again.
