The members of the game Group of Ten Thousand Worlds are all myself

Chapter 42 But I refuse

After leaving the officiant's hall, Xia Yu arrived at the cliff within a moment. He stood on the edge of the cliff and took out the small ring flag given to him by the officiant Emma. The next moment, three snow-winged monsters flew from the distance.

This is Anor Londo's porter. It is a creature that looks quite ugly, similar to Western evil spirits. Their skin color is extremely pale, only their arms and claws are blood red, and they have thin wings similar to bat wings.

There is also a slender tail hanging behind it.

Two of the monsters grabbed Xia Yu's arms and led him away from the cliff, while the other monster led the way to the undead settlement under the high wall.

It was the location of the lowest level of people in Lothric, filled with mindless wandering souls transformed into undead people, and there was a very serious problem of the infestation of living corpses.

The so-called undead are exactly the existence of the undead. In order to deal with the endless resurrected living corpses, the undead settlement has a large number of barbaric and cruel methods, such as dog fighting, dismemberment, incineration, and even stuffing them into a cage collectively, but they cannot completely solve it.

question.

No matter what you do, it will at most slow down the resurrection speed of the undead, but cannot completely eliminate them.

In the soul world, immortality is a curse of despair, not a gift.

"Pap~"

The sound of landing sounded, and the Snow-winged Demon Ghost brought Xia Yu to a dilapidated tower. This was once a defense against foreign enemies, but now it is dilapidated, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.

After a brief glance, Xia Yu spotted the extinguished bonfire nearby. As he stepped forward, he took out a red spiral sword.

The spiral sword can light a bonfire. As long as the extinguished bonfire is lit, he, who is ashes, can teleport freely between any bonfires.

"Chi~"

A blazing flame ignited from the tip of the spiral sword. Xia Yu inserted the sword into the embers of the corpse. The next moment, a bonfire ignited.

At the same time, the power from the bonfire was integrated into his body along the hilt of the sword, and his physical strength was directly restored to its peak. The consumed elements in the element bottle were also replenished by the flames.

After lighting the bonfire, Xia Yu looked at the undead settlement in the distance. It was a neighborhood made up of broken wooden houses, and occasionally living corpses could be seen wandering around.

The spell teacher who taught him the spells was imprisoned in a cage on the second floor of one of the wooden houses.

Speaking of which, almost all the teachers in the Soul series are imprisoned. Whether it is Komikos and Karula from Soul III, or Se Lian from Ring of Magic, their fate is to be imprisoned and then rescued.

After recovering his thoughts, Xia Yu walked down the damaged stairs, holding his own pistol in both hands, alert to the incoming enemy.

"Qiang..."

Just when Xia Yu walked to the avenue, the clang of the iron gate opening suddenly sounded, and the next moment, three skinny wild dogs suddenly sprang out.

"Woof woof!"

After the three wild dogs sprang out, they bit the living corpses on the road without mercy. Each time they bit, they would take away the life of a living corpse. This was the dog battle of the undead settlement. Every once in a while, the wild dogs would be released.

Devour the resurrected living corpse.

"Tsk tsk, the Three Dogs Slaughtering Fire Formation really deserves its reputation."

Many players have fallen victim to these three wild dogs, because these three dogs can cooperate with each other, and each bite will produce a large amount of blood. Almost no players can survive the combined attack of these three dogs.

Within a moment, the group of living corpses was swept away by the wild dogs. After losing the target of the living corpses, the wild dogs suddenly focused on Xia Yu.

They could not tell the difference between living corpses and ashes. With their mouths full of blood flowing from saliva, the wild dogs attacked Xia Yu enthusiastically, fully demonstrating the undead settlement's hospitality to outsiders.

The street is warm and hospitable, the people of Yanan are simple and honest, the air is fresh and the air is fresh, Fang Fangkeng is a tourist attraction, Diaihuo Village.

Faced with the dog-eating kings who eagerly welcomed him, Xia Yu was very moved and gave them their favorite magic bullets. The delicious dog heads exploded.

Soon, the threats on the avenue were cleared by Xia Yu with a few shots. Looking at the iron gate where wild dogs were released, he did not rush in, but turned and walked to the other side.

On the other side is a broken highway, which leads to the city of Lothric. After Sullivan destroyed the bridge, the pilgrims who wanted to enter Lothric were trapped at the end of the bridge, and finally withered and died.

But among the group of pilgrims, there is still a special pilgrim. As long as he comes into contact, a branch point of fate will occur.

In layman's terms, it is one of the last four endings. Soul Three has four endings in total, namely the ending of spreading fire, extinguishing fire, usurping fire and seizing fire. This branch corresponds to the ending of usurping fire.

Usurping the First Fire and becoming the King of Wandering Souls will end the Age of Fire and usher in the Dark Age.

It seems that this ending ends the curse of spreading fire and brings the world into a new era, but who can be sure that this is definitely a good thing? Maybe becoming the King of Wandering Souls is just a conspiracy of another force.

Xia Yu has never changed his mind about the ending of this world, which is to seize the power of the First Fire, then leave here and let this world enter the next era.

Reincarnation is irreversible. The appearance of fire and the extinguishing of fire are just part of the self-generated cycle of the world. Since the era will begin, it will inevitably come to an end, just like when the world was still in chaos.

The original god Gwen started the Age of Fire and went through its most prosperous period. When the flame gradually faded, in order to continue the Age of Fire, Gwen voluntarily went to the primordial furnace and let the first fire ignite his soul.

Let the world continue to be bright.

Gwen's behavior is also called spreading fire. For the continuation of the age of fire, he voluntarily sacrificed everything and used it as firewood to make the first fire last forever.

But it is precisely because of this behavior that the world has declined and become dilapidated. The world should have entered the next era long ago, but it has been surviving until now because of Gwen's behavior.

Xia Yu has no intention of violating the laws of the world. Since the world wants to enter the next era, he will respect the world and let the next era come.

…

The avenue is full of overturned cage carriages, which are used to transport undead people to the undead settlement. There are too many undead people, so they can only be dumped in the undead settlement.

After passing through the arch of the avenue, Xia Yu came to the end of the broken avenue, where there were densely packed dead pilgrims.

They looked at the city of Lothric in the distance, but had no chance to step into it.

The only living pilgrim was among them, but Xia Yu didn't look for it because he knew that the other person would definitely make a sound to attract his attention.

"...Please, let me die, let me be free..."

coming!

Xia Yu's heart moved, looking for the source of this weak sound.

The sound was intermittent, repeating like a candle in the wind.

According to the location in the game, Xia Yu strode forward. At the end of the broken road, he found the sounding patroller.

"Please, let me die..."

The pilgrim was still repeating his death wish words intermittently, but when Xia Yu came to him, he paused and asked cautiously.

"...Ah, you...you are the hero of Ashes. It's an honor to be able to see his face. I am Yoel of Lundall. As you can see, I am a pilgrim. It seems that I am the only one left."

One man survives by chance... but this may be my fate as well."

Xia Yu did not speak, but quietly looked at Yoel who was groveling in front of him. Yoel was a little frightened by the sight, but for the sake of the plan, he still spoke tremblingly.

"Lord Ashes, do you want me to be your follower? I am originally a magician, and I think I can help you to some extent."

Xia Yu sneered in his heart, the old guy's acting skills are pretty good, he wants to seduce me into carving a ring of darkness and seduce me into becoming the King of Wandering Souls, it's quite beautiful.

"Are you willing to be my follower? You know what I like to do most is to whip my followers and listen to their desperate screams."

"..."

Yoel's body froze, but for the sake of Lord Cass, the abyss serpent, he still spoke tremblingly.

"Lord Ashes, when the lucky pilgrim met the hero, I couldn't help but think, this must be fate, so please let me be your follower, I... I can endure your whipping."

"Well...since you are so sincere, then I..."

Hearing Xia Yu's tone of voice that seemed to agree, You Aier felt happy, but the next moment, Xia Yu changed the subject.

"But I refuse!"

"What?!"

"One of my favorite things, Xia Yu, is to say no to people who think I will say yes!"

"Since you keep talking about wanting to be free, then go die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu raised his gun, pointed it at Yuel's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang——!"

"Ah, is killing the undead something to be proud of? Cursed hero, this is really... worthy of celebration..."

Under the fire of magic bullets, Yoel's figure turned into a burst of flying ash and disappeared before Xia Yu's eyes.

"Tsk, you really did have a back-up plan, and he actually escaped."

Xia Yu put away his gun in displeasure. Yoel was not afraid, but the Rondoer force behind him was disgusting. After all, it was related to the world's serpent Cass.

The World Serpent is something that existed in the age of ancient dragons, and Kass is one of the World Serpents. It is the force of the abyss, and it hopes to extinguish the world of fire.

Xia Yu doesn't know why Cass hopes to extinguish the fire. This question has never been explained in the Soul series trilogy, so he can only make personal guesses.
