Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 248 That’s it?

"what!"

Emlyn screamed and woke up from his sleep, cold sweat on his forehead.

But when he woke up, he found that he was lying on a bed of green grass, and in front of him was a vibrant grave.

"I'm not dead?"

Emlyn touched his body in doubt, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was intact. At the same time, he secretly laughed at himself. It was just a dream. How could he think he was really dead?
A mellow voice came from the grave:

"You're the last one."

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Emlyn hurriedly got up from the bed and saluted respectfully.

Emlyn glanced around and realized that the vampires who were supposed to be lying in bed dreaming like him had left. He was the only one left at the scene, which made Emlyn even more nervous. Could it be that he had overslept?

"Don't be nervous."

Duke Olmer said in a gentle voice:

"You were the last one to wake up, which just shows your potential."

"What potential?"

Emlyn stood there with a bewildered look on his face. Then he heard a mellow voice coming from the tomb asking:
"What did you experience in your dream?"

Emlyn reacted immediately, organized his words a little, and recounted his experience in the dream:
"I saw some strange images about the Lord of Fire and the Fire Transmission..."

"Then, I found myself waking up from a coffin, and along the way were zombies dressed in strange clothes."

"At a fork in the road, I saw a huge ice-blue lizard at the end of a fork in the road. But since the end of this road was a dead end, I chose not to move forward..."

"I found a bonfire with a spiral sword stuck in it..."

"In the square not far from the bonfire, there is a giant wearing silver armor with a spiral sword piercing his chest..."

"I walked around him and arrived at a circular building. There were four people inside. An old woman, a blacksmith, a discouraged man, and a skinny old man with disabled legs..."

"The skinny old man with disabled legs claims to be Rhodos, a Cinder King..."

"The old woman claimed to be a maid at the sacrificial site. She told me that this is the Firelink Sacrificial Site. If I want to complete my mission, I must retrieve the spiral sword from the knight in the square..."

"Finally, I pulled out the spiral sword, but I also died in the hands of the knight named Guda..."

Emlyn told Duke Olmer everything that happened in his dream. At the end, Emlyn couldn't help but shudder. Although it was a dream, it was too real, especially the impression of his body being smashed to pieces by the halberd!
Even now, Emlyn still felt a dull pain in his body, as if every inch of his bones had been smashed to pieces...

He felt that Guda was at least Sequence 4 or above, otherwise he wouldn’t have such a hard time dealing with him at Sequence 6—

This is definitely not because he is bad, but because the enemy is too strong!

Olmer said "hmm" after hearing this:
"You've done very well. You've come the furthest among all of us."

"Everyone?"

Emlyn couldn't help but ask:

"My Lord Duke, are we having the same dream?"

"of course."

Olmer chuckled and said, "You have been in the same dream all along."

Emlyn asked doubtfully:

"Then why have I never seen them?"

"You'll find out later."

Seeing that Duke Olmer did not directly answer his question, Emlyn was a little disappointed, but soon asked curiously:

"Your Excellency the Duke, you said I was the one who went the farthest? What about them? How did they die?"

He died at the hands of the knight but was still the one who went the farthest. This meant that no one else succeeded in killing the knight and retrieving the spiral sword. This gave Emlyn a little comfort in his heart.

Sure enough, even he, who was highly regarded by the ancestor, could not kill Guda, let alone others!

Facing Emlyn's question, Olmer did not hide anything and said:

"Three died at the hands of the Crystalline Lizards, five died at the hands of the experts, and two were killed by Guda the Judge of Ashes like you, but they failed to reach the Firelink Shrine."

Emlyn asked curiously:

"Your Excellency, what about the other one?"

Duke Olmer was silent for a while, then said in a complicated tone:
"Another fell off a cliff and died."

"..."

Emlyn's expression became strange, as if he wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

To be honest, he really wanted to know who the unlucky guy who fell off the cliff was.

"Go back first and come to my place in the evening."

"If you are busy and can't get away, you can ask someone to inform Casimi in advance."

Olmer, the vampire duke known as the Full Moon, didn't say anything more. He ended the topic and asked Emlyn to leave the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."

Emlyn bowed respectfully and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the hall.

Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

"This is too difficult..."

Audrey sat in front of the dressing table with her legs crossed and sighed softly.

Although she had experienced death in her dream and fully experienced the fear and pain before death, as a Sequence 5 of the 'audience' path, Audrey had adjusted her mindset long ago and would not be traumatized by this incident.

But I still feel extremely distressed about this, because this dream is really too difficult!
She was already a Sequence 5 Dream Walker, but Guda the Judge of Ashes was at least a Sequence 4 Demigod! Moreover, Beyonders of the Spectator Path were not known for their combat skills.

Although she has mastered many combat methods at Sequence 5, most of them are oriented towards mental attacks. When dealing with Beyonders of the same or even higher sequence from other paths, mental attacks often have miraculous effects, because Beyonders from other paths mostly lack experience in this area and have no means to deal with it, so mental attacks can achieve miraculous effects.

However, what she faced in her dream was either a demented zombie or Guda, the Judge of Ashes. These "mental attacks" were difficult to play their role, but the "audience" path lacked physical attack methods. Although Audrey also tried to use psychological invisibility to quietly leave, the psychological invisibility that was always effective in front of the zombies suddenly failed this time, so Audrey, whose illegal abilities were almost ineffective, could only watch herself being beaten to death by Guda's halberd...

Although she knew it was just a dream, Audrey still felt deeply frustrated.

Because if she encountered a similar enemy in reality, she would probably die miserably. Even if she still had a sacrifice ring, even if she could be resurrected, she would just be killed by the enemy again...

"is it hard?"

Carla sat on the edge of the bed, gently shaking her white and tender legs, and asked with some gloating, "Guda is only the first enemy you have encountered~"

"..."

Audrey was speechless, which was of course not difficult for you, after all, the entire dream was constructed by you.

But she is just an ordinary Sequence 5!
A sly look flashed across Carla's eyes, and she said mischievously:
"Do you want me to help you?" "How can I help you?"

Audrey asked with some caution.

Carla said with a smile:
"I can't help you kill Guda directly, but I can make you stronger."

"Sequence 4?" Audrey asked hesitantly.

She knew that Carla had a king soul, which could allow her to skip the process of digestion, mixing potions, and preparing rituals to advance. So when Carla said she wanted her to become stronger, she subconsciously thought of this method.

Although this is indeed very convenient and will not leave any side effects, Audrey actually doesn't want to become stronger in this way.

"Do not."

Carla shook her head and explained:

"If you advance to Sequence 4 now, you won't be able to enter the dream realm anymore."

If she could have promoted Audrey to Sequence 4 in one go, she would have done so long ago, instead of letting her stay at the awkward position of Sequence 5.

"Then how do you make me stronger?" Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, but asked with some confusion.

"It's very simple."

Carla spread out her palms, and a flame rose from her fair and delicate palms. She stared at Audrey, and whispered with a slightly upturned corner of her mouth:
"Although you don't want to be my apprentice, I can still teach you some things, such as magic..."

"magic?"

Audrey blinked, but soon she knew what Carla meant by 'teach'.

The flame split into a tiny flame, which sank into the girl's body in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Audrey suddenly discovered that she had learned two extraordinary abilities——

[Soul Arrow] and [Soul Giant Arrow].

This is neither a mental attack nor a physical attack, but a genuine magic attack!
Audrey opened her eyes and looked at the girl in the black dress sitting on the edge of the bed with mixed emotions. Just as she was about to thank her, she saw Carla said seriously:

"Since your intelligence is relatively low, I can only teach you these two types of magic for now."

"..."

Audrey puffed up her face suddenly.

Is she mentally retarded?
-
Landenheim, top of the Todbringer family castle.

Lucius, who had not taken action personally for a long time, stood up from his bloody throne.

From the outside, he was a big man who was five meters tall. He was wearing a silver full-body armor, which gave people an unusually heavy feeling. Every detail followed the ancient style, like a unique and gorgeous decoration. The crimson moonlight fell from the hollow windows, shining on the silver armor, as if it was covered with a layer of crimson gauze, and it also made him look like he was wearing a set of blood-red armor.

Judging from his appearance alone, he looks more like a giant than a vampire.

But Yu Jin did not have time to carefully judge whether Lucius had integrated too many extraordinary characteristics of the "Warrior" path, or deliberately transformed into a huge body for the sake of majesty.

Because the moment Lucius stood up, everything around him came alive!

The green grasses that covered the ground and walls became extremely frantic at this moment, waving their fibers one after another, growing wildly as if greedily absorbing nutrients. Soon, the green grasses that were less than half a meter tall grew into towering blood-red trees!

The huge blood-red and almost black trees waved their branches, pulled out their roots one after another, and then, like humans, moved closer to the embers step by step.

Looking around, the surroundings were already filled with dense trees that almost blocked out the sky and the moon. Even the walls seemed to have come alive, with scarlet eyes and bloody mouths cracking on the originally intact walls, rushing towards the embers like a tide!

However, faced with this doomsday-like scene, Yu Jin was stunned, as if he was frightened.

But in reality, Ember was just in deep confusion.

Because he had seen a similar scene on another 'angel' before -

Queen of the Giants, Goddess of the Harvest, Omybella.

Omibella is the Desolate Mistress of Sequence 2 of the Cultivator Path, so she possesses omnipotence in life. But now it seems that Lucius is also the same. The similarity between the two paths may be the reason why Lilith will switch to the Cultivator Path in the future.

Regarding this, Yu Jin felt that he might need to remind Lilith...

While he was thinking, a branch suddenly flew towards Yujin's head!

At the end of that 'branch', countless slender and slippery fibers stretched out like tentacles, and in the middle was a huge mouth covered with countless fangs like a lamprey!

At this moment, this huge mouth was opened to its maximum, as if it wanted to bite off Yujin's head completely in one bite.

It was not until this moment that Yu Jin seemed to finally react.

But he still did not move, just calmly ringing the Holy Bell of Feliano in his hand.

Jingle bell bell~!

Amid the crisp ringing of bells, a flash of white light emerged from the seemingly impenetrable blood-red forest.

The white light was like a flash in the pan, and was blocked by more trees in an instant.

But the next second, the white light suddenly gathered into a terrifying shock wave, sweeping around!

The blood-red forest, the branches that looked like a combination of lampreys and octopuses, the walls with thousands of scarlet eyes and bloody mouths, were all penetrated and crushed by the white light in an instant until they were completely swallowed up and disappeared.

It was as if the whole world had quieted down at this moment, and only that pure white light remained in the whole world.

[Wrath of the Gods]

[The ancient prototype of the "Force".]

Can release strong shock waves.

"Wrath of the Titans" is a very long story.

And "The Force" is a streamlined version of it.

This is a story of extreme anger.

Can cause great damage along with the shock wave. 】

boom!
Finally, the sound came slowly, as if the network connection was interrupted, accompanied by a loud noise.

The white light seemed to expand to its maximum, and then suddenly began to shrink towards the center.

Eventually it returns to nothingness and disappears.

The world returned to peace again, and the crimson moonlight shone from the sky, as if nothing had happened.

The luxurious dome hall disappeared, and only two figures were left standing on the dilapidated but flat ruins of the building.

One was embers, and the other was no longer the 5-meter-tall bloody giant. Instead, it was a blond young man who was thrown to the ground and was struggling to get up. His height was not short, but compared with the bloody giant just now, there was obviously a huge gap.

This also confirmed Yu Jin's guess -

The bloody big guy is just a disguise created by the other party.
