Chapter 587
"Plop."
The old hunter's body fell to the ground, while his head kept rolling in the grass, and then leaned against a stone.
However, there was no pain or remorse on the old hunter's face at this moment, on the contrary, he showed a relieved expression.
"Ah...it's been such a long time..."
The old hunter opened his eyes and stared at Fang Zheng in front of him.
"I'm finally... freed from this nightmare... Thank you... Stranger."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Fangzheng flicked the big sword to wipe away the blood on it. Looking at the old hunter in front of him again, the old hunter smiled slightly.
"I can feel...your soul...your blood...hope, you can end this tragedy..."
However, the old hunter didn't finish his sentence, because his head and body had turned into pieces of fly ash at this time and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, bright red light enveloped the entire flower circle.
Fangzheng turned his head, only to see that the original silver moon had disappeared, replaced by a huge bright red blood moon. A dark shadow emerged from the blood moon and slowly fell.
It looks like a moving skeleton, its upper body is similar to that of a human, only bigger. And its legs are very short, behind its body, there are several tail-like tentacles swinging. Not only that, but the "hair" of this monster is also raised upwards, which looks like some kind of tentacles. And its face is also distorted, except for five hollows that seem to represent facial features, there is nothing.
"Come on...you are welcome to join my dreamland... Hunter...I am the god of the moon, surrender to me, and you will get the eternal truth..."
Whispers rang in Fangzheng's ears. At the same time, the monster landed on the ground and slowly stretched out its hands towards Fangzheng.
"Come here, let us enter a brand new dreamland..."
This voice is so illusory and full of allure, as if it is teasing the most instinctive desire in people's hearts. But Fangzheng stood there, motionless. He frowned, squinted his eyes, and looked up and down carefully at the monster in front of him.
"........."
Perhaps it was Fang Zheng's unexpected reaction, which made the monster not know what to do for a while. But at this moment, Fangzheng's eyes staring at the Moon God in front of him became more and more strange. He showed a surprised expression of disbelief, just stared at the Moon God like this, and then slowly opened his mouth...
"...Eldrich?"
"...?!"
Hearing the name from Fangzheng's mouth, Luna suddenly raised his head. Although there was no expression on its ugly face, its movements clearly showed its reaction. Seeing Luna's reaction, Fangzheng immediately flew into a rage.
"Damn it, it's you bastard! You're still alive? You're still here to make trouble?!"
For Fang Zheng, Eldridge is not an unfamiliar name, because Fang Zheng had fought against him as early as in the world of Black Soul. As a salary king, Eldridge can be said to be the one that disgusts Fang Zheng the most. The reason is simple, because he has a penchant for cannibalism!
That's right, Aldrich used to be a priest in Lothric, but he had a penchant for eating people, and was eventually imprisoned in the Church of the Deep. Not only that, the king at that time also sent many priests to seal it, but these priests were eventually corroded by Aldrich's deep and dark abyss power, and they were all swallowed up.
And Eldrich, because he devoured too many fresh lives, obtained powerful dark power, so he was designated as the salary king to stand up to continue the first fire. Originally, his sinful life should have come to an end, but in that era when the flames were gradually extinguished, Aldrich woke up again, and he still colluded with Pope Sullivan to devour the Sun King's second life. Son, Shadow Sun Gwendolin.
And Eldridge's series of crazy actions is precisely because he has long foreseen that the flames will eventually go out, and the age of the deep sea without fire is coming. In order to continue to survive in the age of the deep sea, he is so thirsty for power , trying to let himself survive that long deep-sea age by devouring the power of others.
But it's a pity that in the world of Dark Souls, Aldrich was hacked to death by Fang Zheng and dragged to the throne to be used as firewood before he could swallow Gwyndolin completely. But what Fangzheng didn't expect was... This girl actually revived and lived until now?
In fact, when Fangzheng left Maria's dream, he vaguely realized that all of this might have something to do with Eldridge. Because after Fang Zheng absorbed the power of the great sword of moonlight held by the knight named Ludwig, he immediately discovered that this power came from the shadow sun—that is, the sword of the dark moon, Gwyndolin.
Not only that, after absorbing the power of the Moonlight Great Sword, Fangzheng also felt the connection between himself and this dream—that is to say, the Yanan dream he was in was actually shaped by this power. Considering that Gwendolin is best at creating illusions, it is not entirely unreasonable that the dream world is shaped by Gwendolin's power.
But if this world is the future of the black soul world that Fangzheng once experienced, and Gwendelyn is dead, then who else will have his power?
There is only one answer!
That's Eldridge!
Originally, Fang Zheng also suspected Yuer Shika, but when he killed Kos Orphan and watched the stupid Rom die, Fang Zheng already felt that something was wrong. Because he could feel that when the descendants of these ancient gods and their families died, their power was silently swallowed up!
And this disgusting thing of eating corpses was not done by Yuer Shika's natural stupidity. On the contrary, Aldrich has done this kind of thing so skillfully that he doesn't know how many times!
"So, you are manipulating all this behind the scenes?"
The more Fang Zheng thought about it, the more certain he became. At first he thought that Byron Weiss had dug up the ruins just to kill himself. Now Fang Zheng has begun to wonder whether there is this bastard behind all this. He knew that the ancient gods would do anything to find heirs, and if Byron Weiss researched and started trying to contact the ancient gods, he would call other abyss creations to come here to perform rituals in order to leave heirs.
And in this process, Aldrich can use "guidance" or "revelation" to let the hunters of the healing church fight with the ancient gods, and then he can take advantage of the opportunity to devour the dead ancient gods. The power of the Gods and their remaining sons of God!
The evidence is that when Ludwig saw the great sword before, he said that the brilliance of the sword guided his path... And according to Maria, Ludwig is the Holy Spirit of the Healing Church. A sword knight with a high status. In addition to his own strong power, there is another point that he is in a high position, so he can definitely influence the decisions and orders of the Healing Church!
And if all of this was planned by Aldrich behind the scenes, then the Healing Church's death would be justified!
"Who are you?!"
At this moment, the voice of the Moon God no longer had the dreamy and peaceful voice before, but was replaced by fury and fear. Hearing the question from the Moon God, Fang Zheng clenched the great sword in his hand.
"Who am I? Aldridge, are you afraid that you have Alzheimer's and have forgotten me?"
As soon as the words fell, Fangzheng clenched the big sword in his hand and swung it suddenly. The next moment, a bright red flame appeared on the pitch-black sword in his hand!
Seeing the burning flames, Luna let out a terrified scream, and stepped back in embarrassment.
"No... You, you can't... How could you appear here? Embers without fire!"
"I'm here for you, big brother."
Looking at the panic-stricken Luna in front of him, Fangzheng let out a sneer.
"How did you get into such a ghostly state? What's the matter with those short legs? Did you have indigestion after eating Gwendolin?"
"This is what you brought me! Embers without fire!"
At this moment, the Moon God finally roared angrily.
"In order to survive, I even sacrificed the clone and soul that devoured Gwyndolin, but at least, I can still hope that the embers can last longer, but what did you do? You extinguished the flames! It led to the destruction of the deep sea age. Arrive ahead of time! And I have to rely on this dilapidated skeleton to survive! Just in time, I have always wanted to settle accounts with you! This is no longer the age of fire! The flames have been extinguished, and now is the age of the deep sea, the age of the abyss! Your insignificance and flame are nothing but a candle in the wind!"
"In that case, let's try it."
Looking at the Moon God in front of him, Fangzheng restrained his expression, and suddenly swung the big sword in his hand, pointing at the enemy ahead.
"I've got the stove ready for you, big brother, it's time to spread the fire."
