I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

"Felianol... forgive me..."

The crescent-shaped sword energy pierced through, and the giant ghost in a black robe fell down unwillingly with his remaining obsession.

The groups of heroic spirits summoned by him also disappeared.

Zhang Hong wiped the sweat off his forehead.

That was a close call. The car almost flipped over.

He never expected that there was such a terrible enemy in Huanyin City.

It can actually summon dozens of spirits to encircle and suppress invaders.

The giant wizard released powerful magic with a wave of his hand, continuously summoning the silver knight undead who once followed the Sun King. Holding a dragon hunting crossbow, he shot high-powered arrows comparable to anti-material sniper rifles.

Under the concentrated fire, Zhang Hong could only hide here and there, looking very embarrassed.

Finally, the giant wizard was killed remotely using Sword Qi Slash.

In the mottled and dilapidated Ringed City, the city built by the gods is still relatively intact, unlike other places in the Dark Soul world. It seems that there is some kind of magical power that maintains stability here.

In the ancient city, Zhang Hong encountered many of the deeply deformed humans he had encountered before, including the Knight of Harwood, whose body had been deformed into a black shadow, the Knight of Ringed City, who had a strange big hole on his chest, and whose armor seemed to have been melted by fire.

But unfortunately, the indigenous inhabitants of Huanyin City had turned into irrational monsters, so Zhang Hong had no choice but to eliminate them all.

Search and explore slowly, hoping to find survivors who still retain their sanity.

"Brother, you are quite strong. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise it would be difficult for me to get in here."

Patch said gratefully, looking around, and then said to Zhang Hong: "Let's say goodbye here. I'm going to find the curse-breaking stone tablet. You should also go and complete your task."

Zhang Hong nodded, "Take care. If you can regain your memory, remember to come back to see me, your old friend."

"I will."

Patch's figure disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Zhang Hong walked alone towards the conspicuous cathedral in the center of Huanyin City.

In the world of Dark Souls, the palace and the church are the most core buildings. If there are any survivors, they are most likely in the church.

The symbol of the ancient kingdom of the Sun King, the holy statues of goddesses, can be seen everywhere in the city. However, the goddess being worshipped is not any one Zhang Hong has seen before, but a new god.

After some effort to find the way, Zhang Hong finally arrived in front of the magnificent cathedral. He felt that this place was somewhat similar to the residence of Gwyndolin of Irithyll.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that a relative of the Sun King was also living here in seclusion?

The church door was tightly closed and could not be opened, as if there was some magical restriction.

Zhang Hong took out his sword and decided to try a new way to open the door. With his current strength, he might not need a key...

He blew on the remaining fire of the king's soul in his body, and the abundant soul power turned into a huge magical power attached to the weapon. With a wave of his hands, a huge golden sword energy flew out with a whistling sound.

It landed heavily on the church door, making an earth-shattering explosion.

The church shook, and the entire Ringed City began to tremble slightly.

"Stop! Who are you to disturb the princess's eternal sleep?"

The teleportation light flickered, and a graceful figure appeared at the door of the church. A heroic female knight emerged from it and stared at Zhang Hong with hostility.

She was holding a strange halberd in her hand, which did not match her nun-style attire. On the halberd was a dried corpse wearing a crown, with the flesh and blood of the corpse stuck to the halberd, which looked extremely weird.

"Who are you? Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The female knight pointed her halberd at Zhang Hong and shouted.

Zhang Hong lowered his weapon and said calmly, "I was commissioned by the Dark Moon Goddess Yurshika and the Painter of the World Elekalia to come here to find the ashes of the Dark Blood."

"Miss Knight, are you a native of Ringed City? What happened here? Why was it eroded by the abyss to such a state?"

The female knight did not answer Zhang Hong's question, but shouted: "What nonsense! The God of Dark Moon is Gwyndolin, and the Painter of the World is Elemias. You actually wanted to fool and deceive me. Die!"

After saying that, he stomped his feet heavily and rushed over like a gust of wind.

when!

Zhang Hong raised his sword and easily blocked the opponent's attack.

He said calmly, "I am not lying. Yulsika is the sister of Gwyndolin and the youngest daughter of the Sun King. Elecaria is the orphan of Elemias. I came here to save the painting world that is about to be destroyed. You seem to be a knight of the Sun King as well? Then you should know that what I said is true."

"Nonsense! His Highness Gwyndolin has only one sister, Princess Felianor. How could there be a third person? How dare you slander and blaspheme the royal family? You deserve to die!"

The angry female knight's attacks became even more swift and fierce.

After more than a dozen rounds, with a loud bang, the halberd fell from the female knight's hand and was knocked away by Zhang Hong.

Under the tremendous force of this blow, the female knight staggered back, lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Zhang Hong did not pursue the victory, but took out the badge of the Dark Moon Knights from his body and threw it to the female knight, "This is the certificate of the Dark Moon Knight. It has the blessing of Yulsika. You should recognize the power of the Gwyn Protoss."

The female knight subconsciously caught the badge and stared at it blankly.

"This... this is indeed the power of the gods, the breath of the Shadow Sun... Could it be that what this person said is true..."

The hostility of the female knight was temporarily lifted. She stood up and said, "I'm sorry for attacking you just now... If you are really a Dark Moon Knight, then you and I are colleagues. My name is Shira, and I am the maid of Princess Felianor. I am also a descendant of the royal family. I am responsible for guarding the princess's sleep."

Zhang Hong: "So, there really is a blood relative of the Sun King among them?"

"Yes. The Sun King's most beloved youngest daughter, Felienor, is sleeping in the cathedral."

"Why is the princess in deep sleep? Is it related to the decline of this Ringed City?"

"...Well, now that things have come to this, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Sheila sighed and told Zhang Hong the whole story.

The history of Ringed City began eight thousand years ago when the ancient Sun Dynasty was first established. At that time, the four great gods joined forces to destroy the ancient dragons, divided the territories and established their own kingdoms. The gods also discovered the dwarves - today's humans, and the existence of dark souls in them.

The gods, who saw the Dark Soul as a threat to the destruction of the world, joined forces to build the Ringed City and sealed the Dwarf Kings in an attempt to prevent the spread of the Dark Soul.

However, what the gods did not expect was that the curse of the undead still appeared among humans. As the First Fire weakened, more curses and distortions appeared on humans and spread to other races.

Even the immortal ancient dragons are not immune to it.

"Since the establishment of the Ringed City, the princess and I have been here to protect this city. This city is also the forbidden place that seals the dwarf kings. The gods have cast time magic on it, making it independent of the world and unaffected by the outside world... But I didn't expect that even the power of the gods could not resist the coming of the abyss. The residents of the city are still inevitably infected by the darkness and turned into mindless monsters..."

Sheila sighed.

Zhang Hong: "The First Fire is about to die. The power of the gods comes from the First Fire. The Ringed City, which relies on the power of the gods, will naturally not be able to avoid decline... Your Excellency Sheila, you said that the princess fell into a deep sleep in order to maintain the magic barrier of the Ringed City? If the Ringed City is not destroyed, the princess may also..."

Sheila sighed heavily again, "I don't know... That's the worst case scenario... I hope it will never happen. But I clearly know that destruction is approaching, and I can't do anything..."

"Dear Firebringer, you possess great power and noble qualities. I beg you to help me and save my princess!"
