The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

The Kingdom of Shadows, the Demon King’s Courtyard.

After climbing up the stairs behind Priest Emma, ​​there is a hall that looks like a chapel.

Walking to the right from the hall will lead to the front wall of Lothric City, then pass through the high-rise city gate, walk past the dragon hunting armor and the large library, and finally face the two princes. It is a normal process.

Walking to the left, there is a huge garden. At the end of the garden is the palace of the "former king" known as the "Demon King", which is where Thanos is going now.

In this garden that is no longer a garden, there are many half-mummy monsters wandering around.

[Gah——! 】

Accompanied by a roar that sounded like some kind of wild beast, the body of a "mummy" suddenly "exploded" outwards, releasing a large pile of mud-like and asphalt-like things. They did not scatter, but instead gathered and hovered in the air, eventually turning into A strange object like a giant black snake entangled itself on the "mummy" and roared loudly at Thanos who was passing by.

"The reason why he is called the Demon King is because he was researching a way to turn people into dragons and accidentally came up with this thing called 'Human Pus'." Thanos threw several flame pots and turned them into A black snake burned out: "The reason why we need to study that kind of thing is to allow the future King of Fire to burn for a longer time, thereby avoiding the fate of 'every once in a while, a prince will be dragged to pass the fire'," Obviously, he failed."

Boom, boom, boom! boom!

Among the high platforms and corridors of the garden, there were some armored warriors with shields and armor that were different from the "Knights of Lothrik" outside. After they saw Thanos, they immediately charged at high speed and used their sledgehammers. Smashed head-on.

"Then the question is, who is a guy who has the attributes of 'King', 'Dragon', 'Father', 'Scientist' and 'Disaster Maker' at the same time?" Thanos said while sliding away from the heavy armor. The warrior's attack was followed by a backhand stab with the golden sword in his hand.

Until he beat all the seven or eight heavily armored warriors in the garden to ashes, no new messages appeared on the ground nearby.

"Does this mean, 'You'll know just by looking at it'?" Thanos looked at the gate at the end of the garden and walked over with his big sword.

————

"[The world trembles because of my torment! The miserable kingdom collapses in my anger! Eventually, the whole world will be destroyed, and in my shadow, everything will turn to ashes!]"

In the demon king's palace, a tall and muscular man wearing black heavy armor, wearing an iron chin, and his eyes glowed dimly, opened his arms and shouted at Thanos.

"...Deathwing in human form?" Thanos raised an eyebrow: "It really meets the requirements perfectly. There is a dog at the door. The most important thing is that this line is also suitable, but it is a bit serious. .”

[Do you still follow logic when dreaming? 】A message appears.

"Dream...?" Thanos thought thoughtfully.

"[Now - the game starts -]" Deathwing, or Demon King Osroais, ignored Thanos's words and started to attack according to the established action logic - let his men attack.

Following his roar, a large number of strange creatures with thin and withered bodies, pale bodies, but dragon-shaped heads came out from the hidden passages throughout the palace, waving various weapons to attack Thanos. .

"Very outrageous! But very reasonable! If you are dragons -" Thanos held the hilt of his sword horizontally, raised his hand to "smear" a layer of flame on it, and rushed directly into the crowd of white dragons: "FaasRuMaar ( Laws and orders shock)!”

The huge roar made all the dragons tremble on the spot, unable to make any counterattack. They could only be unilaterally chopped to the ground by Thanos, and the dragons a little further away even turned around and ran away.

"[Enough! It's time for you to see my true power!]" When all the white dragons were killed, the demon king roared, and his body began to expand and grow. Finally, in Sano, In Si's expectant eyes, he saw a dragon... that was three or four times larger than those white dragons.

"..." Thanos's originally raised sword dropped down boringly: "Not counting the 'huge enemy', or even the 'dragon', but in the end, is he just the Demon King with the skin of Deathwing? ——That's right, if he can turn into a dragon, his experiment will be considered a success."

"[Roar——]"

The demon king lay on the ground in a weird posture and blew out a breath containing a lot of white crystals at Thanos.

"Forget it, go to the Unowned Cemetery as soon as possible... Although you seem to have three stages, I don't want to see it," Thanos raised the golden sword flat, and a violent whirlwind suddenly appeared on the sword, absorbing all the demon king's breath. Row out: "[Storm - Controller]!"

Following the strange slogan, the whirlwind of the sword suddenly turned into a strange sharp wind wall and rushed forward, cutting all the white dragon's breath and hitting the white dragon man accurately.

With a bang, the demon king who was breathing out dragon breath was instantly knocked to the ground.

When he roared and stood up again, he was greeted by the second and third "Storm Controllers".

"[Gah——!]"

"Go back and give this to the old lady at the Fire Sacrifice and let her have a meal." Thanos walked towards the depths of the palace while playing with the "Soul of the Demon King" in his hand.

[But she only eats ashes. 】A message flashed across.

"When everything is made of soul ashes, her words of 'treating ashes as food' are only symbolic," Thanos said. Look, what she's getting is more like 'ownership'."

Thanos waited for a while and saw no new messages, so he continued to observe the surrounding environment.

Rather than a real bedroom, the place that goes deeper from the Demon King's location is more like a laboratory of some kind - the kind from the Middle Ages.

Thanos chopped down two black-clothed attendants with dragon heads along the way and reached the deepest part where there were three treasure chests.

He didn't even look at the treasure boxes. After a brief observation, he struck the wall behind one of the treasure boxes with his sword, or in other words, passed through it.

The seemingly normal stone wall suddenly disappeared, revealing the deep darkness behind it.

"There are various explanations for the 'Unowned Cemetery', which is exactly the same place as the opening of the game, and the Fire Sacrifice without fire, such as 'parallel world', 'another ashe that failed to wake up', 'Choose reincarnation with the ending of extinguishing the fire' and so on." Thanos walked along the dark corridor: "I don't know what kind of setting is used here, I guess it is mostly reincarnation."

[You can keep guessing. 】

Thanos glanced at the message, then looked at the bonfire not far below the end of the corridor, and jumped in.
