Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 253 The Game is Like This
“In fact, I’m dreaming about this too.”

After hearing Emlyn's explanation, the others did not show any sudden enlightenment, but became even more confused. What do you mean you are also dreaming this? Do you dream in a group? Or does dreaming in a group last longer?

"Guda, the Judge of Ashes."

Klein resisted the urge to raise his hand, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

He just felt that Miss Justice's description was inexplicably familiar, and the name Guda was a direct confirmation that the dream she had was simply the story of Dark Souls 3!
And this story was created by Carla, a Sequence 2 angel who also possesses the King’s Soul. It is not surprising that she can achieve this level.

After all, even a layman like Will Auceptin could establish a connection with him in his dream regardless of the distance. The angels of the Audience Path were even more experts in this regard. For example, the organizer of the Twilight Hermit Society was suspected to be an angel of the Audience Path...

However, Klein did not rush to express his opinion, as this was not in line with Mr. Fool's personality.

Well, the most important thing is that he is not completely sure that the Dark Soul 3 played by Miss Justice and Mr. Moon is the game he has played before. After all, he is just playing a preset game, while they are playing a dream created by an angel.

The difference between them cannot be explained in just a few words.

On the other hand, Audrey was not surprised by Emlyn's answer, but her eyes lit up. Because Carula told her that besides her, there were other "players" who entered the dream, but she had never encountered them.

Audrey asked expectantly:
"Mr. 'Moon', since you are also in the dream, do you know how to defeat Guda?"

"..."

Emlyn, who was originally somewhat proud, froze in his expression, but still gave his answer:

"I do not know."

Before he finished speaking, Emlyn tried to make amends, and said:
"Not only me, no one in the entire blood clan can defeat Guda, the Judge of Ashes, and no one can leave the Ash Cemetery. After all, I met Guda for the first time and died at his hands. Other blood clan members even died at the hands of crystal lizards and experts, and one even fell to his death without doing anything..."

Although he was explaining, Emlyn felt that the looks from others seemed to be getting weirder and the voices were getting quieter. His face under the gray mist even blushed a little, because he had also experienced the ways of death he just described...

At first, he was curious with a bit of contempt, wondering why other vampires could die at the hands of crystal lizards and experts. So, he tried it with the thought that "I will not lose", and the result was self-evident.

He was killed once by a crystal lizard, and three times by experts, one of which was when he fell off a cliff and died...

"We're just getting started..."

Klein thought silently after hearing Emlyn's description.

Thinking back, he died many more times than Emlyn, in all kinds of strange ways.

However, from their descriptions, it seems that they only have one life each time they dream, and once they die, they will wake up from the dream. They can only wait until the next night to enter the dream and start over.

If that's the case, then according to the average Dark Souls player's record of hundreds of deaths, it would take at least one or two years to complete the game. Although there were speedrunners who completed the game with one life on the Internet in the past, they were a minority after all, and before they completed the speedrun, they must have practiced hundreds or thousands of times, and the number of deaths might be higher than the average.

And this is reality after all. Although it is a dream, the difficulty is definitely not the same as in the game. Teacher Guda is a demigod, so the Cinder King in the game is at least a Sequence 2 angel, and it is possible that he is even a Sequence 1...

Well, there should be no Sequence 2 for Rhodos and the Farran Undead Team.

After all, the former was dragged back with a broken leg, so he cannot be considered an enemy and has no combat effectiveness.

The latter relies more on quantity rather than individual quality. Only the Fran Undead Team that shares the wolf blood is qualified to become the salary king. But in terms of individual strength, the average person should be above the demigod...

If this is true, then the combat power of the Dark Soul world is actually quite terrifying.

After all, the combat power of Dark Souls is declining with each generation. If even the highest combat power of Soul 3 is a Sequence 1 angel, how strong will the combat power of Soul 2 or even Soul 1 be?

"Is there a higher order above the True God?"

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Klein's mind.

Klein was shocked by his own thoughts, but he thought about it and realized that the possibility seemed very high. After all, there were real cases in this world, such as the legendary ancient sun god!

The strength of the eight ancient gods in the Second Age should be similar to that of the seven true gods today. However, the Ancient Sun God is the only exception. He obviously has the strength to crush the eight ancient gods, which means that the Ancient Sun God is likely to be a higher order than the True God!

"The True God is Sequence 0, so is the one above the True God Sequence -1?"

Klein's thoughts gradually wandered, and he thought half-jokingly.

Although Sequence -1 was just a joke, the levels above the True Gods must really exist. If converted to the Dark Soul World, even if it is just a rough comparison, the Ancient Dragons are at least True Gods corresponding to Sequence 0. And the three King Soul holders who slaughtered the Ancient Dragons are likely to be at a level above the True Gods!
What about Ember? What is he?
Klein felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp, and he didn't dare to think about it any further, because he realized that the truth was probably far beyond his expectations. Even if he stayed above the gray fog, he couldn't completely isolate himself from the trouble it brought!
Klein's thoughts returned to reality. The Tarot Club members on both sides of the long bronze table were still discussing what happened in their dream.

Well, although it was called a discussion, it was actually a collaboration between The Hanged Man and The Hermit to extract information from The Moon.

As for Miss Justice, although she probably had more information than Moon, she was a Beyonder of the Audience Path after all, and was not as easy to deal with as Moon, so the Hanged Man and the Hermit wisely did not cause trouble for Miss Justice.

"Mr. Moon."

The Hanged Man Alger pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully:

"Miss Justice entered the dream with the help of that... um... angel. How did you do it?"

The Moon frowned, apparently confused, but still explained:
"It is the Duke of Olmer."

"Duke?"

The expression of the 'magician' Fors was slightly moved. She had learned a lot of secret knowledge about the extraordinary world from the Abraham family. According to the levels divided within the blood clan, the Duke corresponded to a Sequence 2 Extraordinary, which meant that this Duke Olmer was a genuine angel!

The Hermit Cattleya clearly knew more than the others. She slowly spoke:

"It is rumored that there are three dukes in the blood clan, and this Duke Olmer is the oldest of the three existing dukes. He once followed the blood clan ancestor Lilith herself."

"Yes."

'Moon' suddenly became extremely confident and raised his chin proudly.

The Hermit Cattleya remained silent, not at all surprised by the attitude shown by the Moon.

Because Moon, like most of the vampires Cattleya had met, was extremely proud of his vampire identity. Although he usually hid his vampire identity from humans, once people knew his vampire identity, he felt like he was being restrained. Instead of hiding it, he would be extremely excited to introduce the glorious history of the vampires to others. Even if it was information involving the vampires' secrets, they would not hide it at all.

Of course, it is also possible that these secret information in the eyes of outsiders are nothing at all to the vampires.

For example, in human society, most people don’t know the existence of Beyonders. And among Beyonders, most people don’t know the existence of demigods. Even among the Beyonders within the seven major churches, the vast majority don’t know who the angels of their sects are.

But in the blood clan, even underage blood clan members know that there are three great dukes in the blood clan, and can even call out their names clearly.

And this is also how Cattleya got to know the secrets of the vampires.

Audrey, Justice, was lost in thought at this moment, and guessed:
"Could it be that Duke Olmer and Carula knew each other before?"

Not only her, combined with the information provided by Mr. Moon, everyone in the Tarot Club naturally came to a conclusion:
The vampires and Carula, or the organization behind Carula, have reached some kind of cooperation.

That's why the vampires entered the dream created by Kalula, and even sent an angel to escort them.

This was enough to prove the deep connection between Kalula and the vampires, but it also made others more curious.

What is the purpose of establishing this dream?
It is currently known that there are two angels involved in this dream, and perhaps the entire vampire race is involved. After all, according to Emlyn, Duke Olmer is only responsible for the vampires in the Backlund region.

The other two dukes might be in charge of the capitals of the other two kingdoms. In other words, perhaps more vampires have entered the dream. In this way, there are at least four angels escorting this dream. Even the real ruler of the vampires, the legendary Blood Moon Queen Ornia, might be involved!

And this is just the blood clan, besides the blood clan, are there other secret organizations involved in this plan?

The members of the Tarot Club vaguely felt that they had touched upon a part of this huge plan. Even if they only touched the tip of the iceberg, it was enough to shock them speechless.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~!

The sudden knocking sound startled the Tarot Club member who was deep in thought, and he subconsciously looked up.

Mr. Fool, who was shrouded in gray fog, was rhythmically tapping the edge of the bronze table with his fingers!
"Mr. Fool has something to say!"

This thought popped up in everyone's mind, and their expressions became serious and they sat up straight.

"About dreams."

Klein slowly said:

"I can give you some advice that may help you solve your problem."

After a pause, Klein smiled and said:

"Of course, it may be completely useless."

Klein felt that he needed to take precautions, after all, his knowledge of the game might not be of any use in his dream. But since it was a matter of "a hundred-year plan" and had a thousand connections with the embers, Klein couldn't just sit there and watch.

Audrey Justice and Emlyn Moon bowed their heads respectfully. They didn't realize that Mr. Fool was giving them a heads-up. After all, in their eyes, Mr. Fool had always been so modest.

"First, I need to confirm one thing."

"Have you ever tried rolling and bouncing in your dreams?"

"Eh?"

Audrey, the Justice, was stunned for a moment, but Emlyn, the Moon, suddenly brightened up and said impatiently:
"Mr. Fool, Duke Olmer told us about the techniques of 'tumbling' and 'rebounding' that you mentioned."

"really!"

Klein the Fool's expression slightly changed, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

In the game of Dark Souls, rolling and parrying are the most basic logic of the game, and are also the biggest trump card that allows the undead to reach the pinnacle of life. Even those speedrunners must use rolling and parrying skillfully to achieve the goal of speedrunning!

If there were no rolling and parrying in the dream, the value of the information he summarized in the game would be greatly reduced.

The Hanged Man Alger asked doubtfully:

"Mr. Moon, what are 'tumble' and 'bounce'?"

'Justice' Audrey hesitated to speak because she also wanted to know the answer.

Although Carla gave her two magics, she never told her about 'tumble' and 'rebound'. But even the vampires knew this information, so there was no reason why Carla, the dream builder, would not know it.

There is no doubt that Carla did it on purpose.

Emlyn raised his chin proudly:

“This is a technique that exists in dreams.”

"The so-called rolling is the action of rolling at the moment when the enemy attacks, which can temporarily avoid the enemy's attack."

"As for the counter attack, it deflects the opponent's attack at the moment of attack and causes stiffness, so as to execute and pursue."

"I have tried these two techniques in my dreams. When combined with the extraordinary abilities of the vampires, the actual combat effects are quite outstanding."

"As long as you make good use of rolling and parrying, even an ordinary person can potentially kill Guda."

After a pause, Emlyn added:

"Of course, it's just a possibility."

Although in theory even an ordinary person could kill a powerful enemy with the help of parrying and rolling, it was only in theory. You have to know that the vampires who entered the dream were at least Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, but even they had a hard time killing Guda, let alone an ordinary person.

As extraordinary people, they could hardly see Guda's attack clearly. Ordinary people couldn't even pass the zombie level, so how could they kill Guda? In the final analysis, everything had to be combined with one's own strength to play the greatest role, otherwise no matter how useful the skills were, they would only be a decoration.
