As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 793 That Man is Here Again

When Aita finished speaking.

A jet-black orb of magical light had appeared between her and Fenrir.

It was a ball of light that resembled a black pearl.

【Ys Power: Black Pearl】

In an instant, the sphere of light suddenly expanded, transforming into a core of destruction several meters in diameter, and then exploded with a deafening roar!
--boom!

The black pearl burst open, its internal light piercing the air, and a holy white light swept out like a raging storm, creating a massive shockwave.

Fenrir took the hit head-on, and before he could even use [Destined Death], he was struck directly by the burst of energy. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the distant ruins and kicking up a cloud of snow mist.

"It hurts……"

Lying in the ruins, Fenrir witnessed the birth of a miracle for the first time in his life.

In fact, Fenrir underestimated the players' skill level.

The story begins when they killed Phil. Fenrir possessed a portion of the power of the Elden Ring, and he could create simple "laws".

After killing Phil and absorbing the souls of thousands of players, he enacted a law that "players cannot approach him" because he was worried about the combat power of the remaining 177 overpowered players.

As a player, Lennon possesses the epic item [Notebook of Events] and has also drawn up a story outline that "players cannot encounter Fenrir".

In other words, as long as Fenrir doesn't reveal himself, he won't encounter any "super-powerful" level players.

But if Cain Hearst is destroyed, all his hard work will be for naught.

In summary.

Fenrir was forced to reveal himself.

Xiao Wu used [Emil's Mask] to observe Fenrir's data; this guy certainly has the confidence.

【Strength: 675】

……

[Fragments of Memory]

Mr. Lennon told me that I must find a way to seal away my past memories, otherwise others will spy on me. Come to think of it, I've been living with the ancient gods all along, so my memories are already a jumbled mess.

So, what can you see?

About a hundred years ago, I was driven by a voice to find the secrets of the pre-First Age, and that secret lay deep within the Great Labyrinth.

I need the souls of "otherworldly travelers," that is, "players," to help me bear the curse that opens the gate to the depths of the labyrinth.

As for the Night-Colored Eyes, the ability to sever immortality, and the power of the law... they're just things I obtained through experimentation. Ha, why did I do all that... whatever, let it be.

……

Xiao Wu displayed Fenrir's panel.

Li Nuo was shocked: "He's actually a chosen child?"

Xiao Wu sneered: "You're envious?"

It's not so much envy, but it shows that there's something indescribable behind Fenrir.

According to the Bloodborne universe, it could be some incredibly powerful Ancient God.

However, the addition of Elden Ring and Dark Souls, as well as Fenrir's "Eye of Night" belonging to Elden Ring, suggests that the instigator may be a force that existed in the earliest First Age, the world of "Elden".

Amuro turned to them and asked, "Aren't you going to do anything?"

Li Nuo and Xiao Wu both laughed, laughing like two defeated dogs.

"No, we are trash."

The two watched the battle from a distance without making a move. Firstly, they were not used to switching bodies, and secondly, they had to be wary of Lennon, who had not yet appeared.

They have the best insight; as long as they concentrate, they can prevent sneak attacks.

After all, Phil died in a sneak attack orchestrated by Lennon and Fenrir.

Moreover, after the two swapped bodies, they couldn't play high-level games at all. For example, Xiao Wu would be tempted to use a slide step to charge up her attack, but Li Nuo didn't have the slide step to charge up her attack. The only consequence would be that she would get hit. Li Nuo also had low health, so there was almost no room for error.

"Then I'll make the first move."

Amuro is about to make his move.

Pippen shook his head at him from a distance, meaning "It's not time yet, let Aita handle it first."

Pippen is now in Adol form.

Although Adol's nickname is Red-haired Pervert, he is one of the representatives of taciturnity.

All he can say is "..."

Pippen said to everyone, "..."

Strangely enough, everyone could understand that he meant Aita's frying pan was a magical artifact.

Every weapon at its MAX level has incredible attributes, but these vary from person to person. Aita's MAX frying pan possesses divinity and is a supreme cooking tool. It can absorb the opponent's power and create "dishes" that counter their abilities.

at the same time.

Fenrir rose from the ruins and looked behind him. The dragon Midir was lying on the ruins in the distance, its body emitting a "corrupting" gas. With Fenrir's interference, no one could get close to it.

then.

Fenrir's gaze passed over the approaching Aita and landed on Lino standing in the distance.

As long as Li Nuo doesn't use Xiao Wu's body to have sex with other people, he is a perfect virgin and the best vessel for Midil's evolution.

In order to take control of Li Nuo's (Xiao Wu's) body, Fenrir must first kill Eta, Pippen, and Amuro.

"what……"

Fenrir exhaled foul air, his breath chilling and bloody.

Blood vapor formed a long knife.

Fenrir gripped the hilt of his sword, flicked it, and splashed out a spray of thick black ink from the Mortal Blade.

"I truly never imagined that there would be such a righteous god among your group."

Before he finished speaking, his figure rushed out like a ghost, the Mortal Blade leaving a bloody afterimage as it slashed towards Aita's neck!
Clang——! ! !
The metallic clang echoed across the snow-covered plains.

Aita swung her frying pan and slapped Fenrir's blade away. Fenrir was once again convinced of Aita's outrageous fighting style, and he stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Gods actually use kitchen utensils as weapons?"

Even gods need to eat!

With a roar, sparks flew as Aita flipped her wrist, and the bottom of the pot, enveloped in a magical whirlwind, slammed into Fenrir's face!
"The power of fire element!"

The frying pan heated up automatically, and Fenrir retreated while raising his blade to take the hit head-on. Aita's attack pattern was like using a "shield" as a sledgehammer to smash someone's face, which was extremely brutal.

Even with all his might, Fenrir was still thrown several meters by the impact of the frying pan.

His shoes carved two deep grooves in the snow, and his fighting spirit burned even brighter in his eyes.

He knew he had come to the right place. With life forms like Aita still existing, his plan would fail sooner or later. It was better to kill them here!

"Hesitation leads to defeat!" Aita shouted as she charged forward.

"Then let's give it a try, goddess from another world!" Fenrir's longsword gleamed with a black light.

Li Nuo thought to himself, "What's with the enthusiasm you two have for...?"

The snow is getting heavier.

The two figures clashed in the blizzard, each collision of the Mortal Blade and the frying pan creating a shockwave. Thud!
Aita's pot-making technique is cunning and ruthless, sometimes like a shield to block, sometimes like a hammer to smash.

Fenrir's blade flashed with increasing frenzy, each strike carrying the resentment of the undead, cleaving through the wind and snow, tearing apart the earth.

On the snowy plains, divinity and madness, the Mortal Blade and the frying pan, battled until the sky darkened!
……

"stop……"

In the courtroom on January 2, 1888.

Blackie stopped Li Nuo's speech.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying... A goddess wielding a frying pan and fighting Fenrir's frenzied energy to the death... What is this? Comedy?"

Li Nuo shrugged helplessly: "But that's really how it is."

Sister Hei nodded to Xiao Wu: "Although you are currently in a man's body, I think... why don't you say it?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment about how to express what they saw, then coughed lightly: "Aita and Fenrir are evenly matched."

After a few seconds.

Blackie: "That's it!"

Xiao Wu: "If I had strong literary skills, I wouldn't have become a sports student back then!"

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. If she hadn't become a sports student, she wouldn't have been killed by a javelin thrown near the field. In that case... her life would have been different. She wouldn't have become a "four-thousand-year-old dumpling," wouldn't have been treated like a woman, and wouldn't have had to cower in a stinky man's body.

"Woooo..."

"Don't fucking cry in my face!"

Li Nuo started cursing, wiping away Xiao Wu's tears while turning to look at Sister Hei.

"See? I'd rather be the one telling stories."

"Is the goddess you mentioned alright?" Piek suddenly asked. "Will Aita be able to get her revenge? What exactly is Fenrir's conspiracy? Tell me quickly!"

Lenny shrugged and said, "It's not going to be easy. The other side has the Mortal Blade, which is considered a forbidden technique even by the Bulma Merchant Guild. And nobody knows how many chips Fenrir has left. He's the lord of Waterdeep, and he controls the resources of an entire country."

"I really didn't expect Fenrir to be the acting bishop of the Healing Church. I thought he was the bishop himself."

Piek's watch emitted a message.

"The Healing Church doesn't actually have any members, unless all the residents of Waterdeep are believers."

"High-ranking officials and business owners."

Li Nuo suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him.

Li Nuo used Xiao Wu's pretty face to put on a terrible expression that said, "There's only one truth."

Where was Miaham rescued?

The trio of women immediately understood.

Near Deepwater City... a place for the wealthy to enjoy themselves, where experiments by the ancient gods are being conducted.

The wealthy, the experiments… combined, the true followers of the Healing Church have come to the fore.

“A merchant from the lowest rungs of society.” Li Nuo stroked his handsome chin, his almond-shaped eyes sparkling. “Fenrir used to be a merchant. It was easy for his customers and business associates to become members of the Healing Church. They even helped him solve his funding problems. It’s terrifying how merchants band together for mutual support.”

Lenny asked, puzzled, "That's not right. They're all rich, why would they still believe in a church that's been nailed to the grounds of iniquity?"

Li Nuo shook his finger: "Rich people believe in feng shui, no, rich people believe in some strange and bizarre things. Sometimes it's not for blessings, but to give themselves a reason to continue to harm the people, or to find an eternal resting place for themselves."

“Isn’t that just deceiving yourself?” Blackie said.

“You look poor.” Li Nuo revealed the truth. If he were rich, he would turn around and believe in the “mechanical cult”.

“Let’s not get off topic.” Blackie steered the conversation back on track: “The problem lies in Fenrir’s identity. He’s the acting bishop, so who is the real bishop?”

Xiao Wu tugged at Li Nuo's arm and whispered, "Do these conspiracies have anything to do with us?"

Li Nuo: "It's really okay... but there's one thing that's bothering me."

He briefly explained what was on his mind to Xiaowu.

The main objective is for them to simply access the world depicted in the painting.

There is one painting in each of these five locations: Bayer Kinworth College, the Healing Church, Cain Hearst, the Northern Undead Asylum, and the Bulma Trading Company.

The paintings in the Northern Undead Asylum have been controlled by "The End".

The painting related to the moon goddess represents the Healing Church and has already been obtained by Li Nuo.

This means that the "Corridor of the End" and "Corridor of Redemption" completed the main storyline early on, and all they had to do was hide until the mission ended.

Whether or not we take Cainhurst's painted world, which is Yharnam where Li Nuo and the others are now, is not important at all. What is important is that the "Hall of the Sky" represented by the idiot couple really needs it.

For the main quest, both "immortality" and "death" are also working hard.

Li Nuo felt that the "dead" Lennon should have already obtained a painting.

A few days ago, when he was reading the newspaper, he saw that a mercenary group had been taken over by "immortal" players. That mercenary group was related to the Bulma Merchant Guild.

In conclusion, all five paintings have been occupied.

There was only one corridor, and he never participated in anything.

An endless corridor.

Under the control of Shofarel, many people in the Endless Realms were replaced with those who had been redeemed in the past, so that they were not in such a terrible state.

There must be something wrong behind this, he worried about Wells, who was in the "Endless Corridor".

“Besides…” Li Nuo paused, “Fenrir has collected so many players’ souls, and I suspect Wells is among them, so regardless of whether we’re going to the first two eras to search for treasure, Fenrir must be killed by us.”

Blackie interrupted their whispers.

"Can we continue? We want to hear how Fenrir died."

Just as they were about to reverse their consciousness back and forth.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

The courtroom has two doors: one is the main entrance guarded by the fishmen, and the other is a hidden door in the wall, from which the sound comes.

The person who came... was an employee of Bayer Kinworth.

Xiao Wu: "Speaking of which... the time and space dimensions of the courtroom are set aside separately. Only the few of us and the fishman brother at the door can appear within this space. Other creatures can't come in, right?"

Click.

The keyhole of the hidden door made a sound.

Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes: "Looks like some dimensional being has discovered us."

The visitor is not good.

Li Nuo took off his head and used his ponytail as a meteor hammer. Xiao Wu was enchanted by azure flames and grabbed a chair. Hei Jie lifted her long robe and took out a hunting rifle covered in runes. Lennie drew a hunter's saw knife from his waist. Piek hid in the corner.

Just as Blackie was about to let the fishman in, the hidden door opened.

A person wearing a black hood walked in from behind the door. He was dressed in the uniform of Bayer Kinworth Academy and exuded an aura of a demon king.

Blackie and Lennie slowly put away their weapons.

Because the person who came in was wearing a "prison inspector" badge, his status at Bayer Kinworth College was above that of Blackie.

But when this person saw Li Nuo and Xiao Wu, his body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Li Nuo and Xiao Wu made strange noises that sounded like they were happy.

"what……"

"Ah~"

The two walked toward the guy who came in, and Li Nuo pressed his head back onto his neck and opened his arms to greet him.

"Adam Ireland, it's so good to meet you."
