Who designed this underworld dungeon?

[Painting World "Anor Londo"]

【Touch the painting to recreate the past scene in the painting】

[The fire has gradually died down, but at this moment, Anor Londo, the royal city where the gods live, still retains some of the glory of the heyday of fire. The undead who set foot on the path of passing on fire will be tested by the royal weapon here.]

“Is this a painting world?”

Elsa was stunned. She clearly remembered that there was no painting here before.

Looking back at the Onion Knight, he had lowered his head and gone to sleep again. It looked like he wasn't going to get an explanation.

This is strange. Could it be that she ignored this place when she came in just now, so she didn’t see the painting?

That shouldn’t be the case. There’s no reason why I couldn’t see such a large painting.

There is no need to think about what the reason is. Since Uncle Onion said that there is someone here who can enlighten me, then there is only one answer!

Elsa took a deep breath and reached out to the painting!

However, he suddenly stopped halfway through and muttered:

"If you can't find the right way to pass the level, the painting world will not throw you out until it has drained your spirit. By then, several days have passed in the outside world. If it were me, I might stay in there even longer."

With this in mind, she went to Lake Lienia and found the quartermaster of the Light Eagle Regiment who was stationed there to collect supplies. She told him that she was going to explore the unknown world of paintings and might not be able to return to the camp for a few days. She also took a small wooden barrel with high sealing and hardness.

She had to tell the people in the Light Eagle Group. After all, she had spent a lot of time in this organization and had a sense of responsibility, but these responsibilities were the chains that bound her and prevented her from making up her mind to leave.

Returning to Irithyll's kitchen fire, she carried away all the elemental soup in a barrel and took two cans of Jack's wine.

Since she entered the painting world to find someone to enlighten her, how could she do without some gifts?

The Onion Knight and the afterimage encountered so far seem to be "undeads". They cannot taste the flavor of ordinary wine. Only the elemental soup and Jack's wine can bring taste stimulation.

As for the opinion of Onion Knight, the maker of the elemental soup, Elsa had already asked him, but he was snoring and nodding his head.

Very good, this counts as consent for her to take the vegetarian soup away!

"Anor Londo, here I come."

Elsa touched the painting, and a dazzling light burst out before her eyes.

"call"

In the darkness brought by the distortion of space, a sound rang in my ears; it was the sound of the wind.

Elsa felt that her hands were held by some creature and hung in the sky. The noisy wind blew past her, but contrary to the laws of nature, the wind in the air was actually a little warm, as if it was blowing from a warmer place.

So, now she is being held by an unknown creature and flying in the sky?

The darkness in front of her eyes faded away little by little, and Elsa opened her eyes. She finally saw clearly what was holding her and flying in the sky. It was a monster with red and skinny skin, like a bat monster.

She was being held up and lifted up. In front of her were pitch-black mountains. She looked up and saw a faint light coming from the top of the mountain.

The mountains were falling rapidly before her eyes, and when she finally reached the top of the mountains, the view in front of her suddenly opened up.

The sky was shrouded in dusk-like light, and the faint golden light poured through the clouds onto the earth. Every ray of light made people feel warm, as if they were touching a corner of the sun.

Elsa showed an expression of enjoyment, her eyes moved around, as if she saw something, and the expression of enjoyment suddenly disappeared, replaced by a very rare emotion on her face - shock!

A city, a huge and majestic ancient city sits there. The golden light from the sky gives it an indelible warm hue. It is exactly Anor Londo in the painting. The shock brought by seeing it with your own eyes is far greater than that of the painting.

The weight of history, the majesty of the royal city, the mystery of the Age of Gods and so on filled the air, making one's body tremble subconsciously.

Elsa had read an article in the newspaper earlier, which said that exploring the underground city of Thane was a communication with the past.

Today, for the first time, she felt that she was coming into contact with the long-lost history that was both brilliant and mysterious.

Next, she was going to start her own adventure here alone? It had been a long time since she had explored a strange area alone, which made her feel a little uneasy.

A bat-like monster grabbed her and flew to the royal city, then dropped her in mid-air. With a dull sound of landing, Elsa landed safely in the royal city.

【Anor Londo】

Several large characters appeared before his eyes. In the past, whenever place names appeared in the Senn dungeon, the accompanying music was always mysterious and harsh, which made people nervous. But this time, the music was like a blazing flame, making people feel as if their bodies were on fire even for a moment.

"Is this Anor Londo? I'm standing on top of the building now?"

She was thrown into a place similar to a watchtower, with only a downward spiral staircase in front of her. Looking into the distance, the most central building of Anor Londo was just opposite.

She had a hunch that she would eventually be able to reach there as she explored. The characteristic of the Senn Dungeon was that what you saw was what you got. Any place that could be seen with the naked eye could eventually be passed.

Going down the stairs, a wide open space appeared before her eyes. As expected, she was now on the top floor of a building in Anor Londo, from where she could have a panoramic view of the royal city.

"But why is there not even one resident in such a huge royal city?"

Elsa was puzzled and finally attributed it to the fact that the painting world omitted the description of the residents.

There is only one road ahead, which seems to lead to the interior and there is a visual blind spot.

Normally, if adventurers encounter this kind of design in other areas of the Sen Dungeon, they should start to think about whether there will be a trap next, but Elsa, who is in the royal city, thinks that there is no need to worry about mechanical traps.

Because Anor Londo is the royal city, it would feel too strange if such a magnificent and majestic royal city were filled with traps and mechanisms.

Having said that, Elsa feels that the lack of mechanical traps will not reduce the difficulty of exploration. On the contrary, the difficulty in that aspect may be compensated by the strength of the monsters.

Just as she walked down the stairs and took a step forward—

"boom!"

A huge, heavy object suddenly fell in front of her, and a sharp halberd hit the place where she had been standing before.

Did Elsa avoid it? That could be the case.

But in fact, she was knocked down by the shock and fell to the ground, deviating from her previous position, which is how she happened to escape the disaster.

"Monster attack!?"

The opening scene is a show of force, a design very much like Sion's. Elsa tightly grasps the Sword Skeleton Greatsword and immediately releases the combat skill [Oath of Vengeance] which can temporarily enhance all attributes.

The smoke and dust cleared, and a tall figure in full armor and armed with sharp weapons appeared in front of her. It was a monster [Giant Guard] wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield and a halberd.

An indescribable feeling of oppression came from the giant guards. Erza, who was about to rush forward, suddenly paused and her expression became strange.

The Giant Guards gave her a feeling of being dangerous and strong, even to the point of being unbelievable.

After all, this is a product of the period when the flame was still relatively healthy, so its strength is naturally much stronger than the monsters of the period when the flame was weak.

In the era of Dark Souls III, heroic-level characters could transfer fire, but in the era of Dark Souls I, many heroic-level characters could not even pass the iron giant in the ancient city of Sen.

The moment they saw Elsa, the Giant Guards raised their heavy shields to guard against possible attacks, leaving no room for the enemy.

"Is it an elite monster as soon as we meet?"

Elsa rushed forward without fear, and made a feint to lure the giant guard into action. She took the opportunity to go around the enemy from the side and smashed it down with the sword skeleton greatsword!

Her knuckles shook violently, and deep wounds appeared on the giant guard's armor, which gave her a rough idea of ​​the opponent's hardness.

Very hard, but not impossible to cut!

Just when she thought it was safe to hide behind and attack, the giant guard suddenly showed agility that did not match his size. He jumped behind Elsa and smashed down with his weapon!

This backward jump made Elsa see herself as a golden lion. She subconsciously turned around and raised her weapon, luckily blocking the attack.

The bones in her body sent out warnings of danger. What a terrifying power! She struggled to shake off the enemy's weapon and chose to live under the crotch - she drilled under the giant guard's crotch and slashed the inside of his knee with a sword.

The giant guard shook his body, turned around and knocked Elsa away with his shield. The latter suddenly felt as if the world was turning upside down.

The hero and the divine weapon complement each other. Although she has the blessing of the oath of revenge without the giant sword, she has become weaker. Not to mention a burst of power, it is even difficult for her to maintain her previous state.

Looking at the giant guard limping towards her, Elsa gritted her teeth and rushed forward again.

Violent vibrations echoed in this not-so-wide open space. The battle lasted for nearly five minutes before the giant guards fell to the ground and turned into ashes. This was already an extremely protracted battle.

Elsa, whose left arm was broken, picked up a piece of faded forging stone from the ashes. She didn't know whether the battle was worth it. Fortunately, she had a healing potion on her, which healed her left arm.

Anor Londo gave her a warning right from the start, but she was not discouraged.

"After getting through this elite monster, I should be able to relax for a while."

Sion's rule is to let adventurers relax and catch their breath after defeating an elite monster. In fact, this is also time for mental strength to recover.

After taking a breath, Elsa walked into the building with a vigilant attitude. The ground here was clean and bright, worthy of being a royal city.

However, two huge black shadows covered the ground from behind her.

With a bad premonition in her heart, Elsa turned around and saw that there were two giant guards standing behind her!

At this moment, she realized that she had guessed wrong.

The giant guard that injured her at the beginning was not an elite monster.

They are just ordinary enemies that can be found everywhere!

The brain gave the correct answer within a second: Run!

She didn’t know when the fight would really start, and at that time she would have to use the marathon skills she had developed.

Elsa ran in front, and two giant guards chased behind her. The scenery inside the royal city was equally spectacular, but she no longer had time to appreciate it.

However, when she entered a house, she encountered a giant guard and almost had her head chopped off by him.

If she could still fight against two enemies, she had no chance of defeating three enemies in such a narrow room. She could only run faster and faster, running along the road in front of her, going down the spiral staircase, and finally came to the open space outside.

Maybe I can deal with them here.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she saw three tall and mighty figures standing in the open space. They were three giant guards.

""

The corners of Elsa's mouth trembled.

The giant guards who were chasing her were now behind her. The movement here also attracted the attention of the giant guards on the open space, and they slowly walked towards this side.

She was double-breaded with cheese.

At this moment, Elsa suddenly thought of Luluwo. Usually when encountering a critical situation like this with a large number of elite monsters, Luluwo would raise his middle finger to the sky and yell:

"Sean Dungeon, where are all the monsters you piled up?"

She now fully understood Luluwo's ​​feelings, but she was too embarrassed to repeat that somewhat vulgar behavior, so she could only prepare for a fight to the death.

"Hey, come here."

At this moment, a cold woman's voice came from somewhere.

A woman dressed in full armor leaned out of a doorway not far away. The patterns on her armor revealed her identity.

This is a Dark Moon Knight.
