What kind of a world is this?
After Fangzheng was killed for the umpteenth time, he sat by the campfire speechlessly.
At this moment, he had already felt the deep malice that this world had brought to him.
At first, Fangzheng thought this was a very ordinary world, but now he didn't think so. The first time he was killed by the knight was due to his carelessness, but the next few times, even though Fangzheng was fully prepared, he was still mercilessly pressed to the ground by the knight. But his efforts were not in vain. After a few tries, Fangzheng found that the "deflection" that he thought was useless before was unexpectedly useful. After mastering this skill, he successfully blocked and deflected the knight's attack, then seized the opportunity to stab his sword into the knight's chest.
At first, Fangzheng thought it was all over, but before he could pull out his sword, he saw a strange dark liquid suddenly appear behind the knight. It twisted and condensed into a huge monster with a snake's head. The monster bit at Fangzheng.
At that moment, Fangzheng's heart collapsed.
At first, he thought this was an ordinary wasteland world.
Then, he thought this should be an ordinary world with tyrannical combat power.
But now ….. What the hell is this monster!!
Could it be that he had to rely on swords and sabers to fight against this gigantic, inhuman thing?
This world is too hopeless!!
Although there are monsters in the Dark World, they at least have skills to protect themselves!
But here, I can only roll, block, and slash? No skills, no magic, no artifacts, not even teammates?
I'm going to explode!
This was simply a nightmare!
Fortunately, Fangzheng remembered that he came to this world to train his swordsmanship and awareness. Otherwise, he would have chosen to commit suicide. To survive in such a world, one needed more than just a big heart.
Fortunately, in this dark world, there was also a small refuge. After painstakingly defeating the knight, Fangzheng passed through the gate and entered a place called the Firelayer Sacrificial Grounds. There, he met a girl with an eye patch — she called herself the Firewoman. From the Fireproof Woman, Fangzheng also learned about the situation of this world.
At first, this world was chaotic. However, one day, a flame known as the First Flame was born. People found the King's Soul next to the First Flame and defeated the Ancient Dragon with the power of fire. After that, the Age of Fire began, and humans built a glorious civilization. However, the fire would eventually be extinguished. In order to maintain the burning of the fire, the powerful heroes used themselves as firewood to continue the burning of the fire.
And now, everything had come to an end.
The flame of inheritance had been extinguished. The sound of the bell had awakened the ancient Lord of Cinder who had fallen into a deep sleep.
But they had given up their thrones.
His duty was to defeat these Lords of Cinder and rekindle the embers.
After talking with the Firewoman, Fangzheng finally understood the general "setting" of this world. For example, this world was like a bonfire. It had once burned and brought light and warmth. But now, all that was left of it was a pile of ashes. What he needed to do now was to find enough firewood to light the bonfire again … .otherwise, everything would be over.
This was really a hopeless world.
Fortunately, there was at least a soft girl like the Firewoman to comfort Fangzheng's battered heart. At least, she was much better than the muscular blacksmith and the old witch. Compared to her, those two were like ghosts trapped here — oh, and that guy who sat on the steps with a sword in his arms and muttered something all day long.
After the previous hard battle, Fangzheng felt that he had mastered the skills to survive in this world, so he proudly teleported to the wall of Lothric through the bonfire according to the Firewoman's guidance. He planned to start his next adventure. In fact, the monsters on the wall did not pose any threat to Fangzheng at first. Even the Undead with big axes were easily repelled by Fangzheng and executed with a single strike of his sword.
This made Fangzheng's confidence soar unprecedentedly … Well, that's not right, but at least he felt that he had mastered the essence of how to fight.
That was until he met a guy called the Knight of Lothric.
This guy was the same as the knight Fangzheng met before. He was dressed like a human, but he could not communicate with him at all. The moment he saw Fangzheng, the knight immediately roared and rushed at him.
Fangzheng was no longer as surprised as before. He had discovered that, except for the few people in the Firelayer Sacrificial Grounds, everyone he met outside seemed to be irrational beasts who only knew how to fight. They would attack him without saying a word. So, Fangzheng stepped forward decisively. He waved the shield in his hand and prepared to parry the knight's attack again.
But to Fangzheng's surprise, the Knight of Lothric raised his shield and slammed it on him, knocking him unconscious. Before Fangzheng could recover from his shock, he saw the knight raise his sword … Swoosh! The world became quiet again.
Fangzheng finally discovered that he was still a rookie when it came to using cold weapons.
He was able to defeat Shi Dong previously because he relied on the special effects of the Royal Cross Swordsmanship and 'Void Breaker'. Although Shi Dong later pointed out that Fangzheng's weakness was that he did not have a deep understanding of swordsmanship itself, Fangzheng still did not think much of it. In his opinion, he did not actually use all his combat skills. For example, if he had cast 'Invincibility' on himself at the beginning and rushed at Shi Dong with a 'Divine Storm', Shi Dong would probably have died even more miserably ….
Not to mention, even if he encountered a strong enemy in the future, he could still use the Soul Stone.
But now, in this world, Fangzheng knew for the first time how powerless he was.
Without the buff of the Soul Stone, and unable to use any Paladin skills, he was actually so weak!
How many times had he died since he came to this high wall?
Sitting in front of the bonfire, Fangzheng frowned. If it was said that he had sufficient confidence in his strength in the past, But after this encounter in this world, Fangzheng finally understood how weak his real strength was. Come to think of it, in the first battle after his reincarnation in this world, he relied on the power of the Soul Stone to escape death. In the Dark World, he also relied on the Soul Stone to kill Magda. These were all given to him by the system, but they were not completely his own power. They were plug-ins given to him by the system.
Could it be that he had lost his way before?
In the beginning, Fangzheng only intended to come here with the attitude of training, but now, he had begun to seriously reflect on whether his previous thinking was correct. Did he really need to rely on the system for help for the rest of his life? Although the system could indeed provide him with a lot of help, if he did not become stronger, wouldn't it all be for naught?
"I'm still too careless …."
While secretly shaking his head, Fangzheng stood up with a bitter smile. He was not a warrior before his reincarnation. Although he had received military training, Fangzheng's main duty was not to bathe in blood on the battlefield. Therefore, he was not very familiar with face-to-face battles. Originally, Fangzheng did not think that this was a problem, but now, he realized what he lacked.
Perhaps this was the reason why the system chose this world for him.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng once again clenched the longsword in his hand, stood up, walked to the edge of the high platform, and looked at the city that had turned into ruins. Accompanied by the whistling of the wind, gloomy and hoarse growls and heavy footsteps were everywhere. Those zombie-like monsters were still wandering in the city, waving their weapons and trying to kill all life they saw.
Fangzheng did not know who the other party was, what they had done, or why they fought, but now, he was very clear about one thing.
That was, those who stood in front of him were their enemies.
