However, after a long period of development, the ancient dragons and their descendants still have this defect, and will be beaten to death when facing miracles such as thunder guns.
When Sun Yang shot down the ancient dragon with the Sunlight Lance, which was no less powerful than that of the Gods, the rest of the undead were able to rush forward and beat the ancient dragon to death with their swords. After all, a dragon that could not fly was just a sitting duck.
When Sun Yang had almost finished with Salva, his spiral sword suddenly emitted a burst of fire. Rukatie rushed out from the spiral sword. Her equipment was slightly damaged, and her package was deflated.
It seemed that the journey back home was full of various dangers, and even Rukatiye, who had been trained to such a degree, was almost out of ammunition and food.
"What are you doing?" When Rukatiye landed on the ground, Sun Yang had just killed the sleeping dragon of his own world. When the ancient dragon fell, its majestic soul was completely absorbed by Sun Yang and Rukatiye who had just landed.
"I'm just completing my pilgrimage. By the way, I acted as a lobbyist and recruited a group of relatively reliable undead as mercenaries. The more cards in hand, the better." Sun Yang stuck the spiral sword into the ground and sat beside it. The flames immediately replenished his consumed physical strength and blue bar.
"Then it seems you've succeeded in recruiting. Oh, by the way, there's one thing I need to tell you," Rukatiye said with a serious expression. "First of all, my homeland, the Miller Nation, has been destroyed. Not only Miller, but also Ug and several other major powers. Now, to the east of Dolan Gureg, only an empire called Kasas remains."
Kasas... a kingdom mentioned in the Dark Souls III text. The narrative mentions that this empire destroyed the surviving smaller kingdoms and forged their crowns together.
But Sun Yang did not expect that at this point in time Casas had already taken action to eliminate the various war-torn countries.
"My hometown and the Miller Knights have been destroyed. There are no survivors left. I spent some time fighting my way through the Kasas Legion's defenses and confirmed that no other country exists... And if nothing unexpected happens, in a few years, once their territory is consolidated, the Kasas Empire will attack Dolan Gureg. Sun Yang, if there's anything you want to do, you'll have to hurry. Dolan Gureg doesn't look like it can withstand a Kasas invasion." Rukatiye lowered her eyes. She rummaged through her bag, only to find a broken pendant.
"My brother and I had been taken care of by an old lady. This time I went back mainly to see the old lady, check on her situation, and say goodbye for the last time... But when I arrived at her residence, the house had been burned to ashes. In the end, I only found this pendant... This was a piece of jewelry she never took off for a moment." Rukatiye explained.
"So... do you want to go back for revenge? Revenge on the Casas Empire? How much manpower and strength do you need? I can help you." Sun Yang looked at Rukatiya and asked.
"No, that's not necessary. Do I have to kill everyone in the empire? I've already killed everyone I should kill...Mortals are truly fragile. Even though there are many who have trained themselves to the extreme, they are still far inferior to the undead. Besides that, I have one more thing to explain."
"The world is shrinking. I was passing through a familiar valley when I noticed it was getting narrower. Originally, the valley could accommodate more than a dozen carriages simultaneously, but now that number has decreased. As a member of the Knights, I'm particularly sensitive to this. After observing other towns and natural landscapes, I confirmed this."
"I don't know where the center of the contraction is, but it's clear that the land is converging in a certain direction. Sun Yang, you're right. This world is heading towards destruction, and leaving here is the right choice. Some people will choose to stay and save it... but I won't. My hometown is by your side. Wherever you are, I will be there."
The information Rukatiye revealed was quite important. Sun Yang hadn't realized the world's contraction had begun so early. He had assumed it was something the third generation would have to consider, but he hadn't expected problems to arise from this era.
"Don't worry, you won't stay long. At least the world is shrinking, and things can be done before Casas comes in." Sun Yang hugged Rukatiye's head and kissed her hard.
"Hurry up and finish it. Do you need any help here?" Rukatiye licked his lips with a hint of unsatisfaction.
"I'm fine being alone. If I bring you along, I'm worried that you'll be swept away by the chaotic time and space here..." Sun Yang said.
"Okay, then remember to come back early. Everyone's waiting for you." Rukatiye didn't force herself to stay. She was well aware of the dangers of this world. Even more terrifying than the difficulties of fighting was the thought of walking without seeing anyone.
After Sun Yang sent Rukatiye back to the main base, he immediately continued his movement. He gave instructions to the Undead Squad led by the veteran, and then used the campfire to teleport to the nearest place to the Royal City.
All the undead need to overcome numerous difficulties, challenge the guards of the royal city, pass through the endless Amarna altar, and finally meet the depressed king in the Temple of the Undead.
In this process, the undead will accumulate enough souls to challenge the powerful soul of the princess - of course, for the princess of Dolan Gureg, it is an even more plump soul. The princess is confident that she can face any undead who dares to kill her.
***
The capital of Dolan Gureg was built in a basin. Although it was called a basin, the skilled craftsmen here cleverly built the entire city on the basin.
The bridge leading to the royal city was wide enough for more than a dozen carriages to pass side by side, and this magnificent and towering royal city could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Sun Yang walked from a nearby campfire for a day before reaching the main gate.
The guards of the royal city did not take action when they saw Sun Yang. They remained silent, and only their slow breathing could be heard in the air.
Behind these guards stood countless stone statues. Dolan Gureg had mastered the art of petrifying and unpetrifying. These guards would take turns entering this petrified state and performing guard duties, ensuring they could remain awake longer in the face of the undead curse.
Walking slowly up the steps to the gate, the guard silently opened the gate after seeing Sun Yang, or to be more precise, seeing the spiral sword in Sun Yang's hand.
"You don't know how to drive out outsiders?" Sun Yang asked the soldiers curiously. In the game, these guards would beat people without any discrimination.
"Pilgrim... tell me your characteristics... you are a guest." The guard stammered. He seemed to be on the verge of becoming a zombie. Perhaps in a few days he would become a wandering soul that could only move by relying on his original instincts.
The hall of the royal city was deserted, with only the clanging sounds of a few heavily armored soldiers patrolling nearby echoing. When he saw Sun Yang, he paused briefly, then walked away as if he hadn't seen him.
"Hey! Where should I go next?" Sun Yang stopped a group of heavily armored soldiers. These people were just for show. No matter how good their equipment was, it couldn't stop a single shot from Sun Yang's Sun Gun. So Sun Yang wasn't afraid at all.
"The princess is waiting for you in the high-level reception hall." The heavily armored soldier was in a better condition, but Sun Yang could see that he was completely exhausted and had no will to fight at all.
It seemed only the people in the royal city, relying on petrification technology to take turns resting, were barely maintaining the guards' spirits. After thanking him, Sun Yang continued his journey upwards through the royal city, asking for directions. After wasting about an hour, Sun Yang finally arrived at the door of the audience room, guided by an old cleaner. However, there were not only two heavily armored warriors guarding the door, but also someone Sun Yang hadn't expected to see standing there, holding a package.
She was wearing a green robe, with a wisp of red hair flowing out. The green-robed girl, as beautiful as honey, was waiting at the door. When she saw Sun Yang, she nodded at him.
"Green-robed girl? Or are you Shanalote's...clone?" Sun Yang walked over and greeted the green-robed girl.
"We are all Shanalot, and each of us has left a shadow in time. Lord Andil took these issues into consideration when he created me." Shanalot, the green-robed girl handed Sun Yang the big package in her arms.
Sun Yang looked at the guards beside him suspiciously. They seemed to have not seen what was happening in front of them. They still held their heads high and looked straight ahead.
"I guess the reason I can move freely in the royal city is that Andil gave instructions in advance. Otherwise, these guards would not let me in." Sun Yang said.
"Exactly. Lord Andil ordered me to notify the guards and let in an undead man carrying a spiral sword. Also, this is his last gift to you as a reward for the success of the experiment. He thought you would need it."
Sun Yang opened the package, revealing four crowns of varying sizes. Some were cast from metal, while others had more intricate designs. But without exception, they all emitted a faint glow.
"Has it been blessed?" Sun Yang picked up one of the crowns carefully.
"You possess a soul that rivals that of a king. After Andil told Lord Pancrad about your deeds, Lord Pancrad gave you the crown he won after his conquest. A strong soul can suppress a strong curse. You only need to wear one of them to suppress the curse of immortality for a long time... According to Lord Andil, you can walk in the human world for at least a few hundred more years." The green-robed girl explained.
"As generous as ever...So what does he need me to do? I don't think he would give such a gift so casually." Sun Yang put the crowns away carefully. Touching this was no joke.
"Lord Andil said that you no longer need to look for the king's traces, nor do you need to search for the secret of curing immortality. The strength of your soul and the technology you provided have been recognized. Lord Andil implores you to complete the final trial." The green-robed girl said word by word.
To translate it, Andil recognized Sun Yang's combat prowess and the artificial technology entrusted to him. Therefore, the subsequent stages of the Royal City were skipped without any need to fight, and the entire process was skipped.
"I thought I would fall at the Amanah Altar again in this life and be beaten to death by the mages of the Ancient Dragon Academy. But I didn't expect that I don't even have to fight anymore... Life is really wonderful." Sun Yang sighed.
"Our clones will continue to wait for your return in Rumi. Master Sun Yang." The girl in green robe bowed to Sun Yang and then slowly left the door of the reception hall.
When the two guards saw the green-robed girl walk away, they reached out to open the door and let Sun Yang walk into the high-rise hall.
The middle of the hall was divided horizontally by a hollow corridor. On the side where Sun Yang was standing, there were several guards, and some mages and archers were staring at Sun Yang with a fierce look.
On the other side, a middle-aged woman in elegant clothes sat upright on a chair. She looked at Sun Yang with a slight smile on her face.
"You passed the test and came here successfully, cursed undead... I am Duna Xiangzhuo, the princess of Dolan Gureg." Duna Xiangzhuo, the princess of Dolan Gureg's voice was full of sweetness and temptation.
"I've heard of you. I guess you have a new task for me." Sun Yang said indifferently. He did not show any courtesy at all and ignored the vigilant eyes of the guards around him. He just stood there looking at the princess.
"That's right. Undead, please go in search of the king, in search of the proof of kingship, and step onto the throne. Please follow the guidance of the proof of kingship and do what you should do. In this way, you will get what you deserve." Duna Xiangzhuo spoke softly, with a riddle buried in her words.
It is estimated that ordinary undead people would not be able to think of anything when they reach here, but in order to lift the curse of undeadness, they can only continue to complete the task and strengthen their souls.
"I will do what I should do. And it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Sun Yang looked at the guards around him and directly took out a compressed sunlight spear from the spiral sword.
"Enemy attack--!" As soon as the guard shouted, the surrounding mages and clergy cast protective spells at the first moment, and the rest of the guards charged and attacked Sun Yang desperately.
But Sun Yang's movements were obviously faster. His Sunshine Spear hit Duna Xiangzhuo just as the protective magic was taking shape.
518 The Dark Souls World chapter ends.
Magic, miracles, spells, bows and arrows coated with various types of resin, and elite weapons attacking from both sides. The moment Sun Yang released his miracle, he was surrounded by hostility.
These warriors and spellcasters were able to guard the audience hall, naturally offering their loyalty to Duna Xiangzhuo. They may have killed countless people who came to cause trouble or attempted to assassinate the princess. They protected the princess's life with their actions and proved their loyalty.
But loyalty cannot replace the gap in strength. These attacks that can seriously injure or even kill most undead warriors are barely effective against Sun Yang.
This armor, crafted using some of the world's most advanced technologies and materials, was so tough that Sun Yang could withstand a proximity railgun round and still be alive. The attacks from the surrounding, barely elite warriors, barely scraped the surface.
Sun Yang's left hand lit up with searing flames, and the spiral sword in his right hand spewed out several thick soul arrows. The exploding flames instantly engulfed the surrounding warriors wielding various magical weapons, while the soul arrows instantly flew into the air, piercing the chests of the mages and archers standing above.
Spells like Fire and Soul-Seeking Giant Arrows were not uncommon, but due to the caster's limited abilities, their power wasn't particularly strong. Sun Yang, a spellcaster with maxed-out attributes, could easily kill all enemies when he cast these spells at full power.
"Hic...Ah..." The undead around Sun Yang were reduced to charcoal by the super-heated flames. Although the undead had a strong tolerance for extreme environments, their patience ultimately had its limits. The scattered flames forced them to fall to the ground in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
The archers and mages pierced by the soul arrows died more quickly. Their clothing couldn't withstand the powerful spells, and their bodies were simply pierced through. They were reduced to corpses on the spot.
Part of the souls of the dead guards entered Sun Yang's body, while the other part floated away into the distance.
Duna Xiangzhuo, the Fallen Child of Darkness, transformed from the fragment of Manus' soul, had now shed her disguise. She was not dead, and it seemed that the Sunlight Spear that Sun Yang had blasted at her had not hurt her much.
Perhaps it was the protective magic cast by the spellcasters that saved her life, or perhaps it was her own strong vitality and body that easily blocked the spear of sunlight.
Du Na Xiangzhuo's figure could no longer be called human. It was a tall, pitch-black skeleton, like an alien, and the hem of her skirt was made up of countless wriggling skeletons.
Du Na Xiangzhuo pulled out a slender, jet-black sickle from her wrist, imbued with a thick layer of dark energy. Even from a distance, Sun Yang was keenly aware that this sickle could cause him significant damage.
As a person with the trait of "desire", Duna Xiangzhuo's spells are mainly dark spells to activate the soul. Sun Yang even feels that her sickle will take away his soul if it hits him.
As one of the four souls split from Manus, and having absorbed the souls of many undead, Duna Xiangzhuo is fully worthy of the title of the final BOSS of this film.
"I wanted to wait until your soul was stronger. But in this case, let's harvest the fruits now. Now is the time to merge with the darkness..." An indistinguishable male or female voice rang out from this alien body.
Du Na Xiangzhuo stretched out her palm, and a dark purple beam instantly sprayed out. Sun Yang narrowly avoided the beam and poured a bottle of three-in-one potion into his mouth. It increased his movement speed, restored his green bar, and replenished the lost blue bar.
The ground struck by the beam collapsed like melted cheese. Duna Xiangzhuo swung her scythe again, and dense clusters of dark magic appeared around it. Beneath Duna Xiangzhuo, countless black mists surged out.
Sun Yang didn't even have time to dodge before his face was covered in mist. The mist was filled with a fishy smell, and when it hit him, a chill penetrated his armor and moved along his body.
This was the first time Sun Yang felt the curse of immortality. The mist was rapidly eroding his vitality. As a fragment of Manus' soul, Duna Xiangzhuo could manipulate dark magic as if breathing water.
Other mages who touched the dark arts either died or became the most powerful spellcasters. Those who were not careful enough and did not master the art of manipulation had already killed themselves.
Duna Xiangzhuo's power is so terrifying that the aftermath of the power alone can accelerate the process of the undead transforming into zombies.
Sun Yang could feel his body becoming uncontrollably weak and powerless.
Perhaps most of the undead were worn down by this power, becoming vulnerable to attack.
So before his body weakened to death, Sun Yang released his most commonly used and most powerful spell without hesitation.
"Sunshine Gun!!"
The spiral sword in his hand flashed with dazzling light, and the spear of sunlight collided with the dark magic ball around Duna Xiangzhuo.
On one side is the strongest miracle of light passed down from Gwyn, the King of the Dark Lord; on the other side is the twisted dark soul power unleashed by the reincarnation of Manus.
Sun Yang heard no sound. He could only feel the waves of intense impact. At the last moment, he used the Stone Oath and Iron Body to strengthen his defenses, and then he withstood the impact.
The collision of these two forces, each with its own distinct orientation, produced a peculiar reaction. The royal city's audience hall was blasted to smithereens. Sun Yang and Du Na and Xiang Zhuo were each thrown against the wall by the shockwave, then plummeted to the lower levels of the royal city amidst the shattered bricks. The awakened and petrified guards were automatically awakened, all rushing towards the center of the battle.
But before they could see what was happening in the ruins, a sickle emerged from the ruins and hooked away one of the stone statues. The soldier trapped inside the statue didn't even have time to struggle before his throat was slit. Some souls flew into the ruins.
"Oh... thin, fragile soul... too weak." Du Na Xiangzhuo said rather dissatisfiedly. She also had many scars on her body, but after absorbing the soul, these injuries were recovering visibly.
She's not immortal, and can't rely on Element Bottles to restore herself. However, as a Fallen of Darkness, hungry for all souls, she can mobilize a vast amount of souls to repair herself. To put it more bluntly... while she's not particularly strong in terms of physical strength, Duna Xiangzhuo possesses astonishing recovery abilities.
"Ahem...what the hell is this thing?!" Sun Yang was lying on the ground. He felt his strength was rapidly draining away without stopping for a moment.
The power of the sunlight spear he had unleashed shouldn't have been weakened. Was the opponent's dark technique too powerful? Sun Yang quickly removed his glove armor, only to see a twisted green palm covered in sores.
The scars of the undead curse spread rapidly across Sun Yang's body. A pitch-black vortex emerged from his back, and dark green marks spread from it, quickly spreading across his entire body. It was a curse unique to the undead.
Judging from the speed at which the curse is deepening, it won’t be long before Sun Yang loses his memory and will to fight, becoming a zombie that acts only on instinct.
"Contribute your soul!" Du Na Xiangzhuo swung aside the rocks blocking her path. As Du Na Xiangzhuo and her sickle approached, Sun Yang could clearly feel his strength rapidly draining away—he immediately remembered a detail from the game.
Just approaching a portrait of Duna Xiangzhuo could inflict a curse, let alone approaching her in person. When she wasn't restraining her power, she was a curse emitter, accumulating a massive amount of curses whenever she approached.
I see. I was wondering why Andil was so kind as to send me the crown... He had long known what this princess was, and he sent me this treasure specifically to fight against the enemy!
"Shut up! You should give me all your souls! Watch this!" Sun Yang pretended to shake the spiral sword, but in reality, he stretched out his left hand and took out a single-soldier missile launcher. The word "experimental" was written next to the launcher.
Sun Yang happened to see the engineering department transporting a batch of weapons for test firing in a hurry. In a hurry, he directly grabbed one of the launchers.
This Duna Xiangzhuo was no simple creature; he needed a more powerful individual weapon. Since the humanoid needed a test firing, he might as well do it.
Puff! Boom! The electromagnetically accelerated missile instantly struck Duna Xiangzhuo, who was eager to cut off Sun Yang's head. This second explosion was equally fierce, and the recoil sent Sun Yang tumbling backwards several times.
Duna Xiangzhuo seemed to have only remembered to mobilize her own dark energy for defense, but the effect was not very good. Sun Yang saw that her body was torn into a huge hole, and the edges looked like they had been melted by high temperature.
"Prototype...Saturn Alloy Warhead?" Sun Yang read the name above. It seemed that the humanoids had further developed the excess Saturn Alloy. They discovered the properties of Saturn Alloy and created a new armor-piercing warhead.
The principle of this thing is similar to that of a normal armor-piercing warhead, but its overall structure has been slightly modified.
There is a small fusion reactor at the rear of the missile as a propulsion power to ensure the subsequent continuous propulsion capability.
The front end of the warhead is made into a pointed tip. Due to the extremely high hardness and sharpness of Saturn alloy itself, this tip can penetrate most known armor plates.
There is a preheating device built into the warhead, which uses the fusion reactor at the rear to quickly preheat the Saturn alloy charge cap inside the warhead - the preheating can be completed in just three seconds.
A thin layer of insulation, made from the outer shell of a fusion battery, protected the warhead from burning. The humanoids had confirmed that this insulation would ensure the warhead would remain operational for three minutes.
The explosive figures behind the charge shield have added a lot of materials. After all, the launcher and thruster have been updated, so it is no problem for the warhead to become heavier.
After the warhead is launched, the tip will first penetrate the inside of the armor plate, and the heated powder cover will normally be detonated by the excess explosives that do not meet safety standards.
The Saturn alloy is extremely brittle in its heated state, forming a high-temperature, high-sharp metal jet. This metal jet, with sufficient explosives, is enough to penetrate even thicker metal armor.
This bullet with ridiculous numerical values successfully inflicted heavy damage on Du Na and Xiang Zhuo. The opponent obviously did not expect Sun Yang to come up with such a weird thing.
"In the end, family members are still reliable." Sun Yang did not hesitate and took out the iron crown from the package and put it on his head. The spread of the scar was immediately curbed.
After he crushed a statue, the curse accumulated in his body was immediately cleared, and the lost power was reunited with him. Ultimately, Du Na Xiangzhuo was only good at dealing with the undead. She definitely wouldn't be able to react to something the undead didn't have.
"That crown...you clearly didn't go to the mausoleum?!" Duna Xiangzhuo immediately recognized the power within the crown. After all, the crown was consecrated by Pancrad, and Duna Xiangzhuo, being extremely sensitive to the soul, naturally sensed that the power within belonged to the person she had slept with for so long.
"Are you in a hurry? Isn't it the time for you to mess with old Wang Fancrad? You still need your brothers' help at the critical moment. The wife you marry into the family is unreliable." Sun Yang said with a serious face as he took out more experimental missile launchers under the puzzled gazes of the humanoids on the other side of the window.
