The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Although the wandering spirits came with great force, they were ultimately no different from wild beasts. In fact, they were even more vulnerable than wild beasts.

"Sizzle!" The remaining blood of the wandering soul spurted out from the wound, staining the surface of the puddle red.

"Ugh—" Eileen, trembling slightly, leaned against a tombstone and vomited.

She lived in Mondstadt, a beautiful and peaceful place. Despite her efforts to become a knight, to be honest, she had hardly ever been in a proper battle, let alone killed anyone.

Eileen regained her senses and bent down to look at the lifeless ghost. Then another wave of unease washed over her.

Although she had already realized from her previous experience that these houses might not be human, Eileen still felt a chill when she actually saw them.

Pale skin clung tightly to the bones, with not a trace of flesh in between. These creatures looked like skeletons covered in skin.

It's hard to imagine that they could survive in this state and still bleed so much.

Eileen composed herself and continued along the road. After leaving that unsettling cemetery, she came to a cliff.

"Splash!" A pebble fell at Eileen's feet, and she cautiously looked down the cliff.

“So high…” Eileen swallowed hard; she had never seen such an unusual view before.

Because she saw an endless mountain range below the cliff, with its peaks covered in snow.

This is absolutely not a normal geographical environment!

"Forget it, why bother with all this?" Eileen shook her head and then started walking along the only path along the cliff edge.

After dealing with several more wandering spirits along the way, Eileen felt that her state of mind had made significant progress.

She had now arrived at a doorway, through which she could see a wide circular plaza, still filled with numerous tombstones, and a giant iron figure crouching in the center of the plaza.

Eileen looked at the broadsword in her hand, then at Gundyr, who was almost the same size as the Ruin Guard in front of her.

I felt that my small frame wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from someone.

Eileen looked around and then she saw a string of pale yellow runes shining in front of the door frame.

She sensed something and stepped forward to touch the rune. The pale golden rune flickered a few times before disappearing.

Soon, a somewhat exasperated voice reached Eileen's ears.

"Hey hey hey? What happened? I was about to beat that guy on horseback!"

A phantom image appeared in Eileen's eyes, then became increasingly solid. Finally, a figure completely different from the atmosphere of this world appeared before Eileen.

It was Maple, who had just fought a fierce battle with the guardian of the great tree!

He has now given up fighting Malenia. He was defeated with a single strike every time, which made him feel frustrated. Was he really that bad?

So Maple decisively fled the Sacred Tree, dying countless times in the process. Fortunately, he eventually found a portal and ran to the weakest of the three, Nymgford—actually, it was Ember who sent him there because he had died so many times.

"Inari-hime?" Eileen asked uncertainly when she saw Kaede's attire.

"Hmm? Who are you? You've also received guidance from a senior?" Feng was both curious and pleasantly surprised to see Eileen.

He looked around and then exclaimed in surprise, "You're really brave. The things in this world are too creepy; I don't even dare to explore them. You actually started fighting right here. I admire you."

"Huh? Is that so?" Eileen also looked puzzled. From what this person was saying, there were other worlds?

"Looks like you just received guidance from a senior?" Feng smiled. Then he confidently said, "It's alright, I'll guide you!"

With that, Feng rushed towards Guda.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing this, Eileen rushed in after her.

Chapter 105 Guda

2023-08-28

Why isn't he moving?

"How would I know?"

Feng and Eileen looked at each other in bewilderment. They had expected a fierce battle to ensue once they entered, but nothing happened.

"I'll give it a try." After circling around Guda, the only thing that Feng found strange was the iron sword stuck in Guda's chest.

"Gurgle..." Feng struggled to pull the spiraling, twisted iron sword out of Guda's body, and the sound it made was somewhat unsettling.

"This isn't the sound of flesh being cut." Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. This spiral sword didn't seem to be stuck in flesh; rather, it sounded like it was stuck in sticky mud.

The thick, black blood spurting from Guda's wound further confirmed Feng's idea.

With a clang, Feng threw the spiral sword to the ground, immediately jumped back a step, and drew his own dagger.

At the same time, the eye of God on his ponytail began to emit a faint purple light.

"Be careful." Feng nodded to Eileen, who was becoming alert in the distance, and then purple lightning began to dance on his blade.

"Understood!" Eileen nodded heavily and moved to Gundyr's side to prepare for the battle.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound of armor plates clashing against each other from the giant in front of him, Guddar woke up.

He raised the halberd beside him and thrust it at Feng in front of him.

"Clang!" Feng flicked his sword, barely managing to deflect Guda's blade to the side, before slashing at it.

The lightning-infused blade slashed a gash across Gundyr's armor, and purple lightning seeped into Gundyr's body, causing further damage.

"Whoosh!" Feng suddenly felt a gust of wind. He looked up and was surprised to see Gu Da charging towards the wind with an Iron Mountain Lean!

Upon seeing this, Feng immediately bent his elbow to block, lowering his center of gravity in an attempt to block the powerful and heavy blow.

"Bang!" However, he clearly underestimated Gundyr's strength. After a dull thud of flesh colliding, Maple was sent flying by Gundyr.

"Oh no!" Feng felt the world spinning around him and immediately realized that something terrible was going to happen.

In this state, if the guy in front of me were to chase me, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Drink!" Feng activated his Eye of God, and dense lightning elements formed a purple shield around his body—he wanted to reduce the damage he would receive.

However, to his surprise, the expected pursuit did not occur. Feng rolled over to dissipate the force and quickly stood up, beginning to observe Guda's condition.

Then he saw Erin fighting with Gundyr. It turned out that Erin had seen Maple being knocked away by Gundyr and immediately went to distract him.

Eileen was initially worried that Gundyr would ignore her attack with her own strength, but to her surprise, her broadsword cleaved a large gash in Gundyr's heavy armor with a single strike.

Ignoring her surprise, Eileen dodged Gundyr's casual swing and began to fight him.

Eileen grew increasingly astonished, not by Gundyr's immense strength, but by his erratic and unpredictable attack methods.

Her instinctive and brute-force attacks reminded her of the wandering spirits in the cemetery not long ago.

Fortunately, she had fought against the wandering spirits for a long time before and had gained some experience with this kind of beastly attack.

Otherwise, given Erin's small stature, she'd be lucky to last even a few seconds against Gundyr.

"Clang!" Guda delivered another heavy blow, the immense force splashing water and shattering the stone bricks below into fragments.

Eileen barely managed to dodge it, but a constant ringing in her ears kept echoing in her mind; she was about to collapse.

But she had companions!

"Boom!" Several brilliant purple lightning blades were unleashed from afar, reaching their maximum power in this waterlogged area!

The lightning blade exploded, and the purple lightning that filled the air leaped around Guda, causing him to stagger.

"Roar..." Guddar crouched on the ground, as if enduring immense pain. He let out one inhuman roar after another.

His heavy armor, forged from black iron, began to bulge, as if something was about to burst out of its shell.

"Get away!"

"Know!"

Seeing such a strange scene, Eileen and Maple dared not be careless. They quickly distanced themselves and observed Guda's every move.

"Boom!" Not long after, Guddar's upper body began to swell, and a black, mud-like substance gushed out from his collar!

At the same time, a disproportionately large beast emerged from the black mud. Unlike the indescribable black mud, the outstretched left hand was enormous and withered.

Its fingers were like tightly tucked branches, and its arms were as pale and wrinkled as tree trunks in a graveyard, and its length was the same as the right hand holding the halberd!

"Roar!" The black mud finally engulfed Gundyr's upper body, transforming him into a stream of human pus. However, although the human pus was thick, it was surprisingly short.

It's less like a snake and more like a giant caterpillar with a snake's head pieced together. The pus of man, a scourge that once ravaged all of Lothric. Its essence is a concrete manifestation of the abyss's corruption.

Eileen and Maple locked eyes, their bloodshot gazes meeting, and Eileen felt a chill run down her spine. Those eyes held no rationality, only endless madness.

With a slap of its massive hand, the pus-filled creature used the recoil to leap into the air. It charged towards Eileen and Maple, determined to crush them into a bloody pulp.

However, although the human pus came with great force, because it was attached to the body of the ancient man, many of its movements were extremely uncoordinated.

Eileen and Maple quickly scattered, dodging the massive jumping attack. However, the Man's Pus wouldn't let them off so easily now.

With a swift, sweeping motion, its right hand struck Eileen, while its snake tail attacked Maple.

With a flash of lightning, Feng easily dodged the hasty attack from the Human Pus. However, Eileen was not so lucky.

She was no match for Feng, who possessed the Eye of God, in either speed or strength. She could only parry with both hands supporting her sword.

Fortunately, the broadsword was tough enough that the huge halberd struck it, only causing intense sparks to fly, without breaking it.

However, the remaining force of the human pus was transmitted through the sword to Eileen, causing her to fly away, and the broadsword in Eileen's hand almost slipped out of her grasp.

"Cough cough!" Eileen tasted the metallic sweetness in her mouth. Without thinking further, she stood up again to confront the pus-filled man.

Suddenly, she felt a suction force emanating from the broadsword in her hand.

【Combat skills?】Eileen remembered the book that Ember had given her, which included an introduction to combat skills.

Eileen released the restraints, allowing the broadsword to drain her spiritual energy. Then, she felt her body being pulled by the small straight sword in her hand.

A fierce flame suddenly erupted from Eileen's left hand. With a flick of her wrist, a fiery fan shot towards the pus-filled body fighting Feng.

At the same time, she stepped forward, only one step behind Fire Fan. Eileen unleashed a swift horizontal sweep, her broadsword plunging into Fire Fan, flames erupting from its blade!

Flame Strike – A combat technique that unleashes a wide-range burst of flames forward. It is followed by a heavy attack, allowing the user to step forward, sweep across the battlefield, and imbue their weapon with flames.

"Ah—" A piercing scream rang out. The flames quickly engulfed the black, writhing body of the human pus as soon as they touched it.

But that wasn't all; Eileen's sweeping attack followed immediately. The flaming blade slashed into the body of the man's pus, setting it ablaze from the inside out.

"A good opportunity!" Feng saw the Human Pus begin to convulse. He activated his Divine Eye, and dense elemental power gathered on his blade, turning the pure white blade purple.

This is his improved version of Elemental Burst, which is more concentrated, faster, and requires less charging time!
