I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 525: The Beauty of Adulthood

Horace let out an inhuman scream. It was obvious that the black substance was extremely terrifying and this strong warrior was suffering unimaginable pain.

Half-kneeling on the ground, he lost the ability to resist.

Light blade slash!

Zhang Hong, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, took the opportunity to slash out with sword energy, accurately cutting into the connection between the slime monster and Gwyndolin's upper body. The monster's body twisted violently as if it had suffered a serious injury.

Zhang Hong enchanted the greatsword with light attributes, and while the monster was struggling, he stepped forward and slashed with all his might at the place where the sword energy had broken through before.

The sword almost separated the monster from Gwyndolin.

It screamed and sprayed poisonous black blood, and the magic power mixed with darkness and poison continuously released impacts.

Anri dragged the incapacitated Horace away and moved him to a corner away from the battlefield.

Zhang Hong stepped back continuously, dodging all attacks. After creating some distance, he accumulated his strength to the maximum and slashed out through the air with a sword energy with light attributes.

puff!

The mud monster was instantly split into two, with the lower half and the upper half of the human body separated.

Then the monster fell to the ground limply, as if it had suffered a fatal injury.

After a fierce blow from Zhang Hongguang's sword, it soon let out a wail and turned into ashes.

Gwyndolin, with only the upper half of his body left, lay in the mud, groaning in pain, and his eyes gradually regained clarity.

He spoke weakly, "Thank you... Hero of the Fire... I have heard your previous words... but I can't respond... I am beyond help... I have been assimilated by that monster..."

"Hero... take this ring back to... You'erlanka... tell her... to live bravely..."

Gwyndolin's voice became weaker and weaker, and before he could finish his words, his body turned to ashes.

A silver ring and a deep blue soul fire remained in the ashes. There was a pale silver in the deep blue, flickering like a candle in the wind.

"Horace!"

Just after defeating the powerful enemy, Anli screamed from the other side, followed by an inhuman roar.

Horace held his head and screamed, then his eyes shot out red light, black air rose from his body, and he began to attack Anri like a madman.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Hong took a quick step forward, snatched the weapon from Horace's hand with a grappling technique, and then pressed him heavily to the ground.

"Quick! Use the elemental bottle on him!"

Anri took down the bottle of elements and fed the whole bottle to Horace. Zhang Hong then cast a miracle magic on him to expel the curse. The big man finally calmed down, but he also fell into a coma.

"He was infected by the abyss..."

Zhang Hong had seen this situation before with the Fran Undead Squad.

Along the way, I have seen similar situations happening to many enemies.

If too many undead people die or come into contact with the strange black substance that emerges from the abyss, they will go mad and turn into violent and bloodthirsty monsters.

Scarier than the zombies.

The mud monster (Aldridge) mentioned earlier was once a monster raised by the Deep Sect, and the Deep Sect was expelled for studying the forbidden power of the abyss. It is not surprising that the mud monster can use the power of the abyss.

Zhang Hong had no way to deal with Horace's situation.

The only thing they could do was to let the two of them return to the Firelink Shrine and ask the Fire Keeper if there was any solution.

Zhang Hong returned to the tower with Gwyndolin's relics and informed Yursika of the situation.

The half-dragon girl who received Gwyndolin's relics said nothing.

But his eyes were a little dim, and he was silent for a moment, then gave Zhang Hong several precious magic props as a reward.

She also said that she would continue to live in seclusion in this high tower, and if Zhang Hong needed her in the future, he could come back to find her.

"By the way, there seems to be a trace of the abyss in you... Take this potion, it can alleviate the curse of the abyss."

Yurshika took out a small crystal bottle, which contained about a mouthful of dreamy, clear liquid that emitted a faint golden glow.

Zhang Hong took the potion and said, "Thank you. I happen to have a friend who needs something like this."

It seems that the sullen Horace has been saved.

After saying goodbye to Youer Lanka, I returned to the sacrificial site and found Anli taking care of the unconscious Horace by the campfire, never leaving his side.

Looking at this pair of bad boys, Zhang Hong shook his head, found the fire keeper girl, took out the bottle of potion and explained the situation.

Finally, with the combined effects of the Fire Keeper's power and the purification potion, Horace managed to save his life.

"Thank you, Master Zhang Hong. I am willing to follow you till death from now on and repay your kindness!"

Anri almost cried with joy, and half-knelt in front of Zhang Hong with a trembling voice.

Zhang Hong refused on the spot, "No need. I'm not interested in being the third party. You should just live a good life with Horace."

He was not blind, so he could see that Anli and Horace were deeply in love.

He doesn't have the bad taste of being a minotaur.

Anri lowered her head and couldn't speak. Her expression couldn't be seen clearly because of the helmet, but Zhang Hong guessed that her face must be red all the way to her neck.

After dealing with the Atlas couple, Zhang Hong placed Aldridge's remains on the Fire Throne.

"Ah, another Cinder King. It looks like the day of rekindling the First Flame is not far away..."

Rudolph spoke up from the throne next to him.

During the time when Zhang Hong was in charge of the company, he looked increasingly old and thin, as if he was about to die at any moment.

As if he could see Zhang Hong's worry, Rudolph smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I can still hold on. I won't fall down until your mission is completed."

Zhang Hong nodded.

There is nothing much to say about this noble king with a spirit of sacrifice.

After taking a short rest at the Fire Transmission Sacrifice Site, Zhang Hong once again set out on the Fire Transmission journey alone.

There is only one last Cinder King left... the royal family of Lothric.

However, I heard that it was the refusal of the Lothric royal family to pass on the fire that caused Yu Hui to wake up from the ancient cemetery and started the story of passing on the fire.

As the city of King Lothric was the ruler at the time, the guards there were probably stronger than in all the previous places, so he had better be careful.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hong turned back and found the blacksmith Andre, asking him if he had any good weapons to deal with the flying dragon.

Previously, Zhang Hong had seen the corpse of a flying dragon at the high wall of Lothric. There were dragons in Lothric, and not only dragons, but also dragon knights.

He'd better prepare some powerful long-range attacks.

Otherwise, you will be on the ground, staring helplessly at the opponent who is in the sky and cannot hit you, and can only let the opponent fly his kite.

"Weapons to fight against flying dragons? I heard that the Gwyn clan once fought against the ancient dragons and made many weapons to fight against dragons, such as dragon hunting armor and dragon hunting bows. There may be these things in Anor Londo. If you can find some remnants, perhaps I can repair them..."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."

Zhang Hong teleported back to Anor Londo through the campfire.

I looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, but the snow was still flying in the wind.

In the world of Dark Souls, there is no difference between day and night. As long as the First Flame is not extinguished, the world is always in light, and time seems to be fixed at a certain moment.

As it is now, the first flames are dimming and the sky is as dark as evening.

The space also began to become chaotic, with one side clear and the other side snowing. Lengli Valley was a scene of a moonlit night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, replacing the sun, and its light shone all over the earth, with the snow covering the ground in white.

It looks beautiful compared to other places which are dark and desolate.

It is worthy of being the place where gods live in seclusion.

Thanks to the campfire, Zhang Hong no longer needs to sleep or eat. He can restore his mental and physical strength by just resting beside the campfire.

Therefore, you can continue fighting endlessly like a game character.

But Zhang Hong has always been careful not to put himself in danger of death.

I'm not sure if I can be resurrected after death like in the game.

After all, this is not a real game world, but just a "copycat world" created by Superman Supreme and his gang.

Zhang Hong didn't dare to gamble with his life.
