Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 294 Horned Warrior

Bai Shi ignored the silent Leida and continued to explore the interior of the Tower Town.

After walking for a while, they saw Freya standing by a well.

She didn't hesitate and slid down the ladder.

Bai Shi walked over and looked down into the well.

I didn’t expect this well to be so deep. I guess if it were in a game, the depth would be high enough to kill someone.

Looking down from above, one could see a lot of sewage accumulated underneath, with a faint foul smell.

Bai Shi asked Freya in the well:
"Freya, is there anything at the bottom of the well?"

Freya landed safely at the bottom of the well and looked around while holding the ladder.

But as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but sewage.

No, there are also horn people.

"Damn it, this isn't a well, it's a sewer!"

"Huh? Why are there horned people here?!"

Bai Shi frowned when he heard Freya's voice.

There was a horn man hiding behind the sewage waterfall just now, and now there is a horn man in the sewer. Are the horn men some kind of rat? Why do they like to go to places like this?
The sound of fighting soon came from the bottom of the well.

After a while, Freya's voice came up with an echo:

"Hmm... there doesn't seem to be anything underneath."

After dealing with the hornmen in the sewer, Freya walked towards the place separated by iron railings.

Because it was quite dark down there, as she got closer, Freya could barely make out the details on the railing.

I saw a door on the iron railing with a keyhole on it.

Freya discovered a road that was not on the map, and immediately told the White Consciousness above about it:
"No, there seems to be a door on the fence ahead."

“There seems to be a road ahead!”

Freya quickly searched for the key on the body of the Horned Man she had just dealt with.

After searching for a while, I still couldn't find it. There was no way the key could be found on the ground full of sewage.

Freya stood up and looked at the door again.

Oh, yeah, what are you looking for the key for?
If there is no road, just open one.

It's just some railings anyway.

Freya stood in front of the railing door and rushed towards it sideways.

"boom--"

The door lock was broken, and the door flew backwards heavily and fell to the ground, and the echo filled the sewer.

Bai Shi also held on to the ladder and slid down.

It was a little too dark in the sewer, so Bai Shi took out the crystal staff, stepped on the ladder and released the starlight.

As the bright star rose above Bai Shi's head, most of the sewer was suddenly illuminated.

Bai Shi glanced at the scene below the ladder.

I saw that half of the sewer was a brick road piled with dried filth, and the other half was a stream of sewage that was still flowing.

It’s okay, at least there is a place to stay.

Bai Shi stepped on the ground and looked at the door that Freya had knocked open.

At this time, Freya had already walked a distance and saw light at the end of the road.

It looked like she was reaching the end of the sewer.

Bai Shi also followed forward, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

If things go as expected, the road ahead will definitely lead to either a shit pit or a poisonous swamp.

Let’s not talk about whether this was deliberately arranged by Miyazaki to pay tribute to his family’s swimming pool.

At the border, any stagnant water source will be affected by the scarlet corruption and gradually deteriorate.

It starts out as strangely foul-smelling water, then turns into a poisonous swamp, and finally turns into scarlet corruption.

This change occurs even in places completely unrelated to the Scarlet Corruption.

This is probably some kind of rule that the Scarlet Corruption God left on the borderland when the Scarlet Corruption once served as a law, and it still has an influence today.

In Tower Town, the water flowing down from upstream has already turned into a brown waterfall, and the sewage piled up in front is simply unimaginable.

Sure enough, when Bai Shi walked to the end of the sewer and came to Freya and stood side by side with her, what appeared in front of him was an extremely huge poisonous swamp.

The scale of this poisonous swamp is so huge that it can be said to be vast and boundless.

In Bai Shi's impression, it seems that the only place that can be compared with the poisonous swamp like a sea of dung in front of him is Riyin City.

Of course, none of them can compare to the Lake of Corruption.

However, when Bai Shi saw the large amount of building wreckage in the poisonous swamp, he fell into deep thought.

People, have there ever been people living in places like this before?

Although I know that the social class division among the Horned People is serious, how could the lowest class just live directly in a cesspool?

Freya looked at the creatures that were looming in the poisonous swamp and was eager to try.

“I don’t see this place on the map.”

"The area ahead must be one that Mr. Ampah has not explored yet!"

Bai Shi glanced at Freya. Should he say that she was worthy of being the Red Lion that had once been infected with scarlet corruption?

It seemed as if she really had no resistance to this smelly poisonous swamp.

That's true, after all, she was a person who had worked her way out of the Ionian swamps.

These ordinary poisonous swamps are only a little disgusting, but they are ultimately inferior to the scarlet corruption.

Powerful people will not die from any random poison.

However, if there is no appropriate way to deal with the Scarlet Corruption, it will be a deadly danger that even demigods will find difficult to resist.

Moreover, scarlet corruption is extremely destructive to the ecosystem, like a super cesspool.

Although Bai Shi could fly directly to explore, he didn't want to wander around in such a place for the time being.

So Bai Shi quickly called back Freya who had already stepped into the poisonous swamp.

"Well, let's explore the area ahead later."

"There's a high probability that there won't be anything in this kind of place, and there may not even be any enemies."

"Take the main road first and explore the Tower Town."

Freya thought about it and felt that what Bai Shi said made sense.

There is probably no powerful enemies in this place, so let's not explore it for now.

After all, the probability of having powerful enemies in the upper levels of Tower Town is obviously higher than here.

The two climbed up the ladder along the same route and returned to the Tower Town.

After coming up, Freya looked around but did not see Leida.

Freya asked with some doubt:

"Where's Leida? Where did she go?"

Bai Shi pointed to the pool where sewage was constantly flowing out.

"She was just attacked by an enemy hiding in the sewage, and some of it got on her body."

"She doesn't look very happy right now."

Freya took out a piece of rag and wiped the venom on her legs.

"Well... this is quite difficult for her."

"There probably isn't any water here for her to wash."
-
After a while, Leida, who had finally recovered, walked over to the two of them.

At this time, Leida had already simply washed her outermost snow-white robe.

Thanks to the supplies that Moore had provided earlier, using the soap, Leida only used some of the drinking water she had on her to clean off most of the stains.

However, the stained area still has marks, which is very conspicuous.

Leida walked up to the two of them and said:

"Let's continue exploring forward."

"According to the map, there seems to be a blessing ahead."

"Mr. Ampah seems to have found the place where the information was placed after that blessing point, as well as the cross mark where Lady Michaela abandoned part of her body."

"So a lot of the areas after that are unexplored."

Judging from the distribution of the corner people in the city along the way, Ampah probably chose the method of sneaking in.

Therefore, apart from some scorpions in the early stage, there were not many casualties among the horn men.

Bai Shi nodded.

In that case, there are still many places to explore in Tower Town.

Maybe we can find some important hidden items.

The three of them set out again, heading towards the blessed location.

Walking on the street, you can gradually see the blessed light wafting out.

However, just when they were about to reach the blessing position, many horned men appeared in front of them.

Different from the scattered and unguarded Horned People before, the Horned People here seemed to be well prepared to meet the enemy.

Several skinny horned men stood on the overpass connecting the two houses, waving their canes at Bai Shi and the others.

As they cast spells, spiraling circles of light attacked everyone.

They were actually the sorcerers among the Horned People.

At the same time, the other corner people in the front also took action.

They were led by the tall horn men holding machetes and charged towards the three people quickly.

Leida and Freya looked at each other and nodded.

Then, Leida immediately charged forward, jumped up, and attacked the horned sorcerer on the terrace.

With a thrust of the sword, he easily pierced through one of the horned sorcerers on the overpass.

After landing on the overpass, Leida pulled out the sword that pierced the corpse and dodged the attack of the horn man sorcerer nearby.

After dodging, there will be a more rapid attack.

The other horn-man sorcerer next to him was not spared either and was cut in half by Leida.

The other sorcerers had no time to pay attention to the situation below and turned their attacks to Leida.

Freya didn't need to worry about the spells above and devoted herself to the battlefield in front.

Facing the horn men who kept rushing towards her, Freya let out a roar.

After she let out this magical roar, the blood in her body began to boil and power continued to surge.

Freya stood slightly sideways, placed her left hand on the hilt of the sword, and swung it forward violently.

The fierce red lion flame swept forward in an instant, creating a raging curtain of fire, and even a layer of flames attached to the sword.

The people in the horns were obviously afraid of the approaching fire curtain, and they subconsciously shrank back.

Before they could adjust, Freya had already rushed through the flames and split one of the tall horned men in half with one sword.

The other horn people reacted and attacked Freya with their weapons.

But the great sword was wielded wildly, and ordinary hornmen could not even get close to it, and were easily killed.

With the return of Leida, who had defeated the sorcerer, the already one-sided battle became even less suspenseful.

Faced with such an enemy, Bai Shi was too lazy to take action.

He watched silently from behind and began to analyze the current strength of the two.

The strength of Leida and Freya had obviously declined at this time.

Leida has fallen from the level of a top hero to that of an ordinary hero.

As for Freya, who was originally slightly weaker, her strength is now almost the same as Leida's.

Before using Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow to remove the restrictions of the Shadow Land, Bai Shi was also suppressed by the strength in the Shadow Land.

The decline in strength was not particularly serious, it was equivalent to falling from the pinnacle of demigod, close to the king, back to the middle level of demigod.

It seems that the suppression in this shadow land is a percentage suppression, and the stronger the person, the higher the suppression.

It's just because the strength range at the demigod level is quite large, so this result occurs.

At this point, Bai Shi had a general understanding of the strength of the followers of Mikaela that he had seen so far. According to the original strength at the border, Leida and Ampah could both be considered top heroes.

As for the others, they all have the strength to be called heroes in the border area.

It’s just that the man named Dan gave Bai Shi a different feeling.

He may have hidden strength, but his upper limit is probably about the same as that of Leda and Ampah.

It seems that the lineup of Michaela's followers is really luxurious.

Of course, this only depends on strength.

It is estimated that this hodgepodge of various forces will find it difficult to exert their true strength.

Bai Shi crossed the battlefield and saw nothing worth picking up at first glance.

So the three of them followed the blessed light and went up to the second floor of a house.

Next to this blessing is a special layout with a bunch of items whose purpose is unknown.

Something is enshrined between the two spiral decorative columns, and it seems that this is an altar-like place.

Walking out the door, there are now two paths in front of everyone.

A path to the right leads to a staircase leading upwards.

The other one turns directly left and leads to the overpass where the Horned Man sorcerers were just now.

According to the map given by Ampah, it can be seen that he chose to walk to the front right.

As for the left side, it was marked as a locked door.

Bai Shi looked at the two of them and asked:
"What do you think? Do you want to take a look to the left?"

Freya patted her arms and nodded vigorously.

"Forget about the big door at the entrance. There can't be any door in this town that I can't open!"

"It's probably just that Ampah was worried about any movement, so he didn't force it open."

"I'd love to see that door."

Leida had no objection, and since Freya had expressed her opinion, she did not object.

Bai Shi handed the map back to Leida and walked out.

"In that case, let's go."

Walking across the overpass connecting the two buildings, the three of them arrived at the door of the house.

This door is an iron door embedded in bricks and stones, and it looks very sturdy.

Freya was obviously in a fight with the door today and kicked it.

The iron door began to shake noticeably.

After judging the strength of the iron door, Freya directly hit it with her shoulder again.

After several collisions, the heavy door had been severely deformed.

Finally, with the last collision, Freya rushed into the room along with the fallen door.

"Ha! I told you, there is definitely no door that can't be opened!"

Leida smiled.

"Freya is always full of fighting spirit."

Then Bai Shi and Lei Da walked in one after another.

The room was very dark and filled with various shelves and miscellaneous items.

This should look like a warehouse.

As he walked in, Bai Shi suddenly turned his attention to one place.

There was actually a mysterious person there, and Bai Shi didn't detect her presence until he entered.

Bai Shi moved closer and saw the figure clearly.

It turned out to be a hunched old woman with horns sitting on a table, with thin ominous horns sticking out from her head, covering her eyes.

The old horned woman seemed to be sleeping, or dead, with no movement at all.

Bai Shi was sure that she was alive.

But for some reason, in the face of such a big commotion, it seemed to be completely unaware.

Freya and Leida also followed Bai Shi's movements and saw the old woman with the horn.

After observing for a while, everyone was unable to understand what was going on.

Finally, after checking the items in the warehouse and finding nothing useful, the three of them walked out.

Walking back to the place of blessing, the three of them took another path again.

Following the upward stairs, we arrived at the upper level of Tower Town.

From here, there are larger buildings with more refined shapes and decorations.

However, the destruction here was even more serious.

Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere in this area, and many of them have been completely reduced to pieces.

During the massacre, this was obviously the area that received the most attention.

It was here that Bai Shi saw the first horned warrior he met along the way.

Just as Ampah had described, the horned warrior was tall, even bigger than the large shadow horned man he had encountered before, and was probably going straight up to three meters tall.

And unlike those skinny shadow horn people, the horn warrior holds two scimitars in his hands and has strong muscles all over his body.

Seeing the invaders from the Golden Tree forces, the horned warrior immediately prepared for battle.

He stood with his legs apart, lowered his center of gravity, held the two scimitars in his hands in reverse, and thrust the backs of the blades forward into the ground.

The ominous-horn-like spikes on the backs of the two scimitars began to glow.

As the power continued to pour in, the blades of the two scimitars in his hands were completely covered with golden light. Then the power flowed into the ground and attacked Bai Shi and others.

Realizing that an attack was about to come from underground, the three of them immediately leaped away. At the moment they dodged, twisted ominous horns composed of countless golden forces rose from the ground.

If you are hit, you will definitely be pierced by the sharp evil horns.

Feeling the power contained therein, Bai Shi finally became interested.

The previous enemy was too weak, and he had no desire to attack.

Now this horned warrior seems to have some strength, maybe he can bring him some surprises.

Purple gravity magic power gathered in Bai Shi's hands, and after a brief accumulation, it exploded violently.

The magic power immediately turned into a dazzling laser and shot towards the horned warrior.

The gravity laser was extremely fast. Before the Horned Warrior could draw out the pair of scimitars, it had already attacked him, making him completely unable to resist.

The gravity laser struck the horned warrior, piercing through his chest armor and hitting the rock-hard flesh inside.

But despite enduring such an attack, the horned warrior remained motionless.

He pulled out the two scimitars stuck in the ground silently as if nothing had happened.

When Bai Shi saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Holy shit, it turns out that I can actually meet a tough dog in real life?!

His body bore the entire attack. Normally, even if the injury wasn't serious, he would at least stagger a little, right?

He didn't move at all?

At this time, Leida and Freya also rushed over from the left and right.

Freya used the Lion Slash move directly, slashing at the horned warrior in mid-air.

Facing the incoming Freya, the horned warrior sensed the terrifying power contained in her greatsword, so he raised his pair of scimitars, crossed them, and blocked the attack firmly.

But at this moment, Leida had already rushed to his side and slashed with a sword.

The sharp blade immediately cut through the armor and penetrated deeply into the flesh of the horned warrior.

However, the horned warrior was equally unmoved. He crossed his swords and thrust them upwards, then immediately lowered his elbows and struck Leida.

Leida dodged to the side, and Freya turned around in the air, using the second half of Brave Lion Slash to pursue.

Faced with the pursuit, the horned warrior quickly retreated and hid.

Bai Shi was a little surprised.

I had thought he was the type who was extremely heavy and focused everything on attack and defense, but was he actually able to move normally?
If that's the case, then why can he withstand such an attack without moving a muscle?

This is not something that can be fooled by using the resilience in the game.

If you are attacked, you will be affected. This is an iron law of reality that cannot be denied.

This isn't like fighting a boss in a game, where you chop the boss a few times and he doesn't even react at all.

Even Bai Shi and other demigods can only reduce the impact to an unlimited extent but cannot avoid it completely.

Bai Shi observed carefully and did not rush to take action.

Now, compared with the horned warrior's moves, this amazing resilience made him more concerned.

At this moment, the Horned Warrior was fighting with Leida and Freya.

Even though he was facing attacks from two people of the same level of strength at the same time, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage.

The strength of Leida and Freya was suppressed, while the Horned Warrior was enhanced by the Shadow Land, making him slightly stronger.

In addition, his body was as strong as a solid wall and did not move at all when he was hit, so he seemed to be able to fight two people at once with ease.

At this moment, Bai Shi suddenly felt the feeling of beating a boss in a game for the first time in a long time.

The two curved swords in the hands of the horned warriors were once again imbued with golden power, and twisted horns of evil omen suddenly spread out tightly on the blades.

With a casual scrape, the spreading sword blade tore Leda's cloak, but fortunately Leda dodged in time.

However, Freya failed to dodge in time and was hit hard in the body.

The blade formed by the dense ominous horns immediately scraped out several wounds, and blood gushed out.

The resulting shape is surprisingly similar to the large hatchet used by the Evil Omen Hunter, who specializes in hunting down the Son of Evil Omen.

Bai Shi now saw some clues and decided to try it himself.

Bai Shi stepped forward and with one step he gathered magic power into the land.

The rocks beneath the Horned Warrior collapsed one after another, and countless rocks rose up and knocked him away.

Baizhi transformed into a soul and instantly appeared beside the horned warrior.

The horn warrior reacted quickly and immediately swung his sword in the air to slash at Bai Shi.

However, Bai Shi had dragon thunder in his hand, which instantly smashed the scimitar and knocked him down from the air to the ground.

The horned warrior who was knocked to the ground was charred all over, but he stood up again immediately, and even the scimitar in his hand that was attacking Bai Zhi was not knocked away.

Bai Shi shook his hand. The feeling he had just hit was indeed very hard, just like stone.

However, even with such a body, it is impossible for it to have no reaction when hit.

Bai Shi's body is harder than his, there must be other reasons.

Bai Shi rushed forward again, rushed to the side of the horned warrior and kicked him.

The horned warrior's body shape finally changed slightly, and he bent slightly after being kicked.

He was pushed back continuously by Bai Shi's kick, and his legs left two grooves on the ground.

The horned warrior took a step back, steadied himself, and swung the scimitar in his hand again.

Bai Shi already had the answer in his mind at this time.

The Horned Warriors used trance to gain the power of nature.

After the descent, they conceptually united themselves with this land of faith.

Using the power of the gods, he transformed himself into a part of nature.

Through this conceptual combination, they were transformed into some kind of existence similar to the land god.

Because of this, he is fearless and will not be shaken by ordinary attacks.

Just like it is difficult for ordinary people to shake the earth or stir up the sea.

However, it is still possible to make bricks fly with great force.

After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Shi decided to put an end to the horned warrior in front of him.

Bai Shi thrust his right hand forward, and the flames of the sun attached to his palm, instantly piercing through the body of the horned warrior.

Even though his body was burned by flames, the Horned Warrior still wanted to fight back.

But the next moment, flames erupted from his body, completely turning his upper body into ashes, and the two swords fell to the ground.

　It seems that after reading the extra chapter, it will be counted as the latest chapter, which makes it impossible to read the next chapter directly. Therefore, the extra chapter will be temporarily suspended and deleted, so as to avoid having to open the catalog and click all the time.
