The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The perfect position and the perfect amount of force caused the stragglers to burst into laughter, bend over, and stumble back several steps.

Instead of the expected tearing sensation, the skirmisher felt as if a narrow hammer had struck him hard in the abdomen. The immense force caused him to lose his balance, and he couldn't stop staggering backward.

He retreated step by step, but Yousui had no intention of letting the stragglers escape. Because now was the time for the little scythe to unleash its true power!

Despite his chubby appearance, he was incredibly agile. With a single, quick step, You Sui closed in on the skirmishers again, repeating the motion of stabbing them with his small scythe.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The doll's body kept retreating, while the lewd fat man pressed closer and closer.

It wasn't that the stragglers didn't want to dodge, but rather that You Shen's moves were too unpredictable. Each thrust allowed him to stand up again from his near-falling state, but prevented him from regaining his balance.

The skirmisher was stabbed several times while in this state of losing his balance but not being able to fall.

This is the true power of the wet scythe—as long as the attack force and frequency are right, this thing can cause infinite stun.

If you get hit by it, you either have to pray that the person wielding the scythe is chivalrous and will let you go after a few pokes.

Alternatively, you can only rely on your health bar to tank until the attacker runs out of energy.

Clearly, the Deep has neither chivalry nor the green bar. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it can keep poking at the skirmishers back and forth in the corridor without stopping.

But how could that be? You have to understand that there's more than one person here.

"Boom!" A tremor and a loud noise accompanied by rising dust appeared, and a fat human footprint suddenly appeared on the wall of the underground corridor.

"How is your body?"

"It's nothing serious."

The soldiers tore off their clothes, and the fleshy skin peeled away, revealing their true wooden bodies beneath.

Although his body was throbbing with pain, it was nothing to the stragglers.

He's not that fragile.

The doctor glanced at the stragglers' abdomen and nodded. It seemed that although the guy was strange, his strength wasn't that great.

If he can't even break through the skirmishers' defenses, then he's even less of a threat.

"This is getting more and more interesting. I never thought that I would run into a powerful person just by running around."

In the crater created by the impact, the deepest part of the creature, which had been kicked, showed no anger; on the contrary, it seemed somewhat excited.

"Such precise control of power makes me increasingly curious about what your body is made of and how it is constructed."

The doctor stared at the fat-shaped hole, equally excited. Who would have thought that such a strange thing would reside inside that ordinary-looking weight?

"Let me show you the spirit of chivalry!" The strong wind whipped his hair, and the obese figure instantly crossed the deep hole and approached.

Upon reaching the doctor's side, You Sui took a powerful step with his short legs!

"Oh!"

The powerful blast wave was visible to the naked eye, blowing sand and gravel off the ground. Surprisingly, the doctor, despite being hit by such an impact, did not make any move to retreat.

He stood quietly in place, seemingly strong enough to withstand the terrifying blow.

"Next, it's my turn!" The Doctor glanced down at You Su, who was still in a kicking stance, and then clenched his fingers into a claw and stabbed at it fiercely.

“You’re a bit strange.” The doctor’s movements were observed by the deep eyes, but the doctor showed no intention of looking away.

I was just out to relax, and seeing such a peculiar guy, I naturally wanted to have some fun with him.

"Let me see what makes you so different!" Meeting the doctor's palm, Yousui no longer used the back of its scythe to poke people; it finally used the scythe correctly.

As the curved scythe tip pierced the Doctor's body, the Doctor's claw-like hand also pierced through the bulky winged knight's breastplate.

"Wow!"

The sharp blade easily pierced the doctor's coat, carving a gruesome gash between his chest and abdomen.

Blood splattered out, but the wound healed instantly in a matter of moments, so fast that You Sui didn't even have time to draw his weapon.

On the other side, after a series of clanging metal sounds, the Doctor also cut a gap in the thick, dark breastplate and inserted his hand inside.

The wound in his abdomen did not affect the doctor's movements at all. He first felt a sense of emptiness, and then his palm touched a layer of skin that looked like goosebumps.

With a fierce determination, the doctor transformed his finger into a knife and pierced through the strangely textured "skin".

"laugh!"

Beneath the eerie skin was unimaginable heat, which, in just a moment, rose up the doctor's palm and surged into his body.

"Well……"

"Crack!"

Without hesitation, the doctor twisted his own arm and shoulder, and blood gushed out like a fountain—he had twisted his own arm off.

"Oh!"

The powerless arm that dangled on the doctor's chest turned to ashes shortly after the doctor stepped back, and the ashes drifted away.

The doctor's face was gloomy. His severed hand began to sprout and heal, and the wound on his abdomen had long since disappeared.

Looking at the Dark Abyss, whose armor was also being gradually repaired, he felt a mix of trepidation and surprise.

"It seems there's more than one person in that thing."

"smart people."

You Sui nodded, then threw a few more "goodies" at the Doctor.

"But what I hate most are smart people!" With that, You Sui roared and charged at the Doctor.

"I'll hold him off, you get out of here!" The Doctor dodged the excrement, and seeing the Darkness charging again, he immediately turned and shouted at the skirmishers.

This completely threw the stragglers into disarray. Sacrificing oneself to cover the retreat of one's comrades is something that could happen to anyone, but it would never happen to the Doctor.

"Stop dawdling and get out of here!" Seeing that the stragglers didn't react for a long time, the doctor rarely swore.

He delivered a powerful flying kick to the stragglers, successfully sending them far away from the area.

Just as the scattered soldiers flew away, the eerie afterimage also stopped.

"I knew smart people were the most annoying." You Sui remained motionless, maintaining his forward stance, as if frozen in time.

"Looks like I guessed right." The doctor grinned upon seeing this.

However, You Sui didn't care about any of that. He simply asked the Doctor, "Do you want to become stronger?"

"Stronger?" The doctor didn't react immediately, and his expression clearly froze.

"I will tell you the forbidden knowledge you crave."

"Do not……"

"Want to get stronger? Here's what you need to do: Go to the bonfire in the Ringed City, head northeast, and you'll see a small Dragonslayer Armor. Defeat it to get a set of Molten Iron Dragonslayer Armor. Then head northeast, go up a flight of stairs, where you'll find a Persuasion Bug and a weapon called the Ringed Knight Straight Sword. After that, go to the Painted World and the tower guarded by the Millwood Knights. Inside, there's a Spirit Tree Shield. Climb up to the top beam to get the Knight Commander's Ashes. Return to Turkey Rush and give them to the old woman to buy a set of Millwood Knight Armor. Make sure to buy the Millwood Knight Armor; the other three pieces aren't important. Then go to the bonfire outside Farrond's Dung Heap Hold, open the shortcut to the Forest of Crucifixion, and keep going forward. Repeatedly kill the Black Lord of Cinder until you get the Black Knight Shield. Then put on the Molten Iron Dragonslayer Armor and the Millwood Knight Armor. The arm and leg armor are up to you. Equip either the Black Knight Shield or the Spirit Tree Shield on your left hand and the Ringed Knight Straight Sword on your right. Practice Ringing..."

"Damn it! Can't you let me finish what I'm saying..."

Just as Deep was about to recount to the Doctor the story of the Fallen Souls V Bible, also known as the Embers' past fall, there wasn't enough time.

Its sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely. The doctor, meanwhile, looked utterly dizzy—for he had heard true forbidden knowledge that did not belong to this world.

Chapter 641 Dr. Explosive Modification

2024-05-01

The stagnant abyss in mid-air turned into specks of dust and contracted inward, while the parts of the abyss apostles' bodies that did not belong to it gradually disappeared.

The bulky armor collapsed, and the tattered turban disappeared, reassembling into the distinctive decorations of the abyssal monster—except that they were not those of the abyssal apostle.

"Um???"

"Um!!!"

Awakening from a daze, the Abyss Apostle suddenly discovered that his arm had turned completely red.

"I've really become a Singer?!" The Abyss Apostle... no, it should now be called an Abyss Singer. It quickly got up from the ground and looked at its drastically changed body in shock.

Looking up at the Doctor whose expression was unpredictable, the Abyss Singer felt a sense of goodwill towards any human other than the remnants of Kanria for the first time.

"A miracle doctor! Your skills are truly miraculous! If any of my companions ever want to change their form, I'll definitely send them to you!"

The Abyss Singer had no idea what had happened to it. It only knew that it seemed to have had a dream, and when it woke up, it had transformed from an Abyss Apostle into an Abyss Singer.

Therefore, in its eyes, the doctor is a true miracle doctor who can easily change the form of abyssal monsters!

"You should thank this thing, not me." The doctor withdrew his hand from the large Singer's hand and pointed to the floor of the corridor.

On the ground, a dark object was rolling. Eventually, it rolled to the front of the skirmisher and stopped moving with a "thud".

The stragglers had just recovered from the doctor's kick when they saw the "Heart of God" clinging to them like a leech.

The large number "five" seemed to mock him again. The stragglers felt everything go black, and suddenly he didn't want to wake up.

"..."

The Abyss Singer also saw the black lump at the skirmisher's feet, and its mind went blank for a moment. What... what use could this thing be?

However, something else soon brought its brain back to its senses.

“Unexpected situation, I have to go.” The Abyss Singer seemed to have suddenly realized something. It stretched out its arm with great skill, and a huge abyss passage appeared in front of it.

"It was a pleasure working with you all, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Before leaving, the Abyss Singer praised the experience of working with the Fools.

"Phew! I can't take it if this happens a few more times."

The Doctor sighed, but the Abyss Chanter clearly couldn't hear him anymore—it had already disappeared into the abyss through the passage to who-knows-where.

A moment of silence fell over the chaotic underground corridor. In the end, it was the stragglers who silently picked up the "Heart of God" that looked like a weight on the ground and spoke first.

“This commotion is bigger than the previous ones, I hope your harvest is the same.” The skirmisher casually stuffed the strange object into his pocket and came to the doctor’s side.

There's no way to shake this thing off; he just hopes the doctor can come up with a good solution.

"You guessed right, the harvest was indeed substantial." The doctor nodded, then looked at the skirmishers.

The doctor's eyes were covered by a mask, and his face was expressionless. He stared intently at the skirmisher for a long time.

"What do you mean by this?" The skirmisher frowned. The doctor's face was expressionless, and his aura remained unchanged, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"It's nothing." The doctor finally snapped out of his daze. He turned his head away, patted the skirmisher on the shoulder, and said meaningfully:
