The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Seeing this, Lily immediately used the Seed Machine, and Dex also fired the arrow that had been prepared beforehand!

Unlike Lu Ming's seed machine, which could shatter Hyde Knight's armor, Lily's seed machine still dealt considerable damage when it hit areas where the armor was broken. Furthermore, Dex's arrow struck Hyde Knight squarely in the throat, instantly depleting his health bar.

With great difficulty, Lu Ming pushed away the Hyde Knight who was determined to crush him even in death. He then chugdled a can of apple soda to treat the throbbing wound from the Hyde Knight's attack.

But in just a short while, Fren snatched Hyde Knight's straight sword, causing Lu Ming to yell, "Damn it!! It's one thing for you to slack off while fighting monsters, but why are you stealing equipment?!"

Furen suppressed his anger and ignored Lu Ming, instead using his one-handed sword to clash with Hyde Knight's Hyde Straight Sword. Just like Lu Ming's Sage's Candlestick cut through Yusaha's longsword, the one-handed sword was easily cut in half by Hyde Straight Sword!

"So what if I steal equipment? I did steal it, what can you do about it?" With the Hyde Straight Sword, Furen wasn't afraid of Lu Ming getting angry and said arrogantly.

"you!!"

The reason I wrote about Hyde Tower in Dark Souls 2 is because it was the first stop on my Dark Souls journey besides the Narrow Pass. Also, Yom the Giant, you bastard! Dare I let you beat me?!

Chapter 10 - Dungeon [Hyde's Giant Fire Tower] (Recommendations needed)

Lu Ming glared angrily at Furen, whose equipment had been hacked, and remained speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Furen's sister, Yusaha, suddenly said to Lu Ming, "Aren't there many more knights like this behind us? Is it necessary to get caught up in their anger over a straight sword? Besides, you saw it yourself, these knights' weapons can easily cut through ours, and you are all mages and archers, so there's no need for you to fight those knights in close combat. So, wouldn't it be better to give this straight sword to my brother?"

"You mean, the two of you will help?" Lu Ming paused for a moment, then asked doubtfully.

Yusaha gave Lu Ming a charming smile and said, "That's right. My sister and I will help you finish this job! After all, you said it's the only way for us to leave. However, I have one condition!"

"You want equipment?" Dex knew what the siblings wanted from the greedy look in Yusahar and Furen's eyes as they looked at the corpse of the Heide Knight on the ground, and he spoke up.

"Yes!" Yusaha nodded with a smile, then looked at Lu Ming, who knew this godforsaken place best.

At this moment, Lu Ming looked towards the road leading to the lighthouse, calculating the number of monsters along the way and the possible equipment: "The dragon riders have four Hyde straight swords, while the ancient dragon hunters have three Hyde straight swords and one Hyde halberd. And there's a whole bunch of ancient knights along the way, and their equipment..."

After a long pause, Lu Ming finally gave his reply: "Okay. But no more slacking off!"

"no problem!"

After reaching a temporary agreement, Lu Ming and the other four set off toward their next goal: the first Ancient Knight.

What puzzled Lu Ming, however, was that unlike the Hyde Knights, who had become noticeably more powerful than in the game, these ancient knights, almost like giants, remained just as stupid. Even though he had his friend help him through that part initially.

Under the combined attack of the lightning-attribute Hyde Straight Sword and the grass-type Seed Machine, the gigantic Ancient Knight was quickly cut down, fell down and turned into a pile of soul bubbles, and disappeared.

However, it didn't completely disappear. Its shield didn't vanish along with its armor and weapons; instead, it lay quietly on the ground.

Watching the giant shield slowly shrink to its normal size on the ground, Lu Ming glanced at Yusaha and, without any hesitation, picked it up.

"There's another Hyde Knight ahead. But let's go this way first." After glancing at the Hyde Knight, who was pretending to be dead on the main road just like the previous one, Lu Ming led the group up the stairs without hesitation.

Since Lu Ming had run out of blue energy, he didn't plan to drink the last bottle of elemental ash, so lighting the campfire was a very important thing.

But when he led everyone down the stairs and prepared to light the campfire, he found that he couldn't ignite the spiral sword stuck in an undead.

After a series of chaotic actions, Lu Ming, acting like a fool, had no choice but to let the immortal Yusaha light the campfire.

"Put your hand on it..." Just as Yusaha placed his hand on the spiral sword by the campfire as Lu Ming had instructed, the undead that had been impaled immediately burst into flames. At the same time, Yusaha's hand also caught fire.

Yusaha screamed in fright as her hand caught fire, quickly plunging it into the nearby sea to extinguish the flames. Then she glared at Lu Ming and asked fiercely, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

"Um... to be honest, I've never seen an undead person set themselves on fire while lighting a campfire..." Lu Ming, who was also completely bewildered by the sudden situation, awkwardly touched his nose, muttered to himself, and sat down by the campfire.

Everyone saw a small ball of flame leap out of the campfire, fly onto Lu Ming, and slowly begin to burn.

The flames quickly went out. However, Lu Ming's mana, Elemental Bottle, and Elemental Ash Bottle were all fully replenished by the flames.

Some of the stunned crowd blinked, and seeing that Lu Ming was not injured by the flames, they all casually sat down by the campfire. Only Yusaha, who was quite frightened, sat a little further away from the campfire.

Feeling the campfire heal his wounds, Furen asked Lu Ming with some surprise, "What is this flame that can heal us? Why can't you light it, only my sister can...?"

"This thing is a campfire, a campfire that burns the undead. It is both the home of the undead and a means of healing them."

"It's really strange to treat this thing as a home." Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Yusaha, who is an immortal, and Lily, whose father is most likely also an immortal, couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Lu Ming glanced at the two of them, then stood up, ready to continue the land reclamation: "Alright, everyone's recovered their strength, right?"

"Almost." Seeing Lu Ming stand up, Dex and Fren also stood up, stretched a little, and prepared to continue.

However, Yusahar and Lily did not get up immediately, but instead stared blankly at the flames of the campfire.

"Hey! Let's go!" Seeing the two women who were somewhat stunned, Lu Ming waved and called out.

Lily and Yusaha slowly stood up and followed Lu Ming and the other two men.

With weapons and shields, the feigning-death Hyde Knight was nothing but a weakling in front of the five people, failing to even land the third seed machine before collapsing.

However, besides his Hyde straight sword, the Hyde Knight also dropped a herbal green book when he fell!

Upon seeing the color of the book, Lu Ming's face darkened!

"What the hell?! Why would Hyde Knight drop a Seed Machine skill book?!" With a trembling heart, Lu Ming picked it up and looked at it. Then, without saying a word, he threw the book on the ground and started yelling.

The reason is that this book, unfortunately, is the skill book for the Seed Machine that Lu Ming already knows. Moreover, it's the kind of skill book that he and Lily can't use to enhance or upgrade their skills!

"Dex!" Lily, who knew what the book was, had Dex pull Lu Ming away from tearing it to shreds, and then threw the skill book to Yusaha.

Seeing Lu Ming's somewhat angry expression, Yusaha assumed the item wasn't anything good, but since Lily had thrown it at her, she wouldn't refuse. However, she hadn't expected that the moment she caught the skill book, it would transform into a grass-green light and shoot towards her throat. After that, aside from a sharp pain in her throat, she felt nothing else.

However, the excruciating pain disappeared within a second. Moreover, she now had the instructions on how to use the seed machine in her mind.

"Is this how you all learned to use the seed machine?" Yusaha, his face covered in cold sweat from the pain, asked Lily and Lu Ming, clutching his throat.

Lu Ming, who was firmly held in Dex's grip, did not answer, while Lily nodded and touched her throat with lingering fear.

After struggling for a while, Lu Ming finally broke free from the shackles on the arms of the Nezha spirit Dex. He gasped for breath several times before continuing his exploration with the others.

After defeating two ancient knights wielding hammers and two-handed greatswords and triggering the mechanism, Lu Ming and his companions encountered their biggest challenge in the dungeon: three ancient knights.

One ancient knight is a weakling, but three knights are tigers. If just one of the three knights works together, they could turn any one of the five into mincemeat!

"What do we do now?" Yusaha, holding a shield, looked at the ancient knights standing inside the building, like three bronze statues, and asked in a daze.

"Pull one out and take it out first! Dex, prepare the bow and arrow!" Recalling how his friends used to roll around among the three ancient knights, Lu Ming waved his hand, telling Dex to use the bow and arrow to pull one out.

But Dex's arrow bounced off one of the ancient knights and landed in the gap of another knight's helmet, pulling out two ancient knights in an instant.

"Holy crap! Are you kidding me? This is possible!" Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the two ancient knights walk out step by step. He then hurriedly used the Seed Machine with Lily and Yusaha, intending to forcibly kill one of the ancient knights on the way.

Unfortunately, the only one of the three ancient knights who carried a large shield was at the forefront, using his shield to forcefully block most of the seed machines.

Fortunately, after blocking the Seed Machine, the ancient knight wielding the large shield also tripped and fell due to the force of the Seed Machine.

Seeing this, Furen and Yusaha, wielding the Hyde Straight Sword, immediately rushed forward. One of them distracted the Ancient Knight who was still standing there, while the other, in coordination with Lu Ming and Lily's Seed Machine, frantically slashed at the Ancient Knight who had gone too far.

Soon, they had cut down the ancient knight who had killed himself! And then they turned their attention to the remaining one.

"Ugh~" The ancient knight who came out with the shield saw that his companion had been killed by Lu Ming and the others, and immediately turned around and ran away.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming and his team didn't give it that chance; they killed it in just a few strokes. And the one inside the building, naturally, also met its end!

It's worth mentioning that these three ancient knights dropped three cans of apple soda and a strange-looking bone, which made Lu Ming a little annoyed.

Because the apple soda was divided up by Dex, Fren, and Yusahar. And Lu Ming didn't need the bone at this stage. It was an undead relic used to strengthen Elemental Flasks and Elemental Ash Flasks. He already had enough Elemental Flasks and Elemental Ash Flasks; one was enough to fully restore his mana. As for healing, he didn't have any real need. After all, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries since the day he transmigrated.

After getting help from a friend and the Onion Knight, the author finally dispatched the Giant Yom. Next up is Aldrich... wait, I just killed him like that?

Chapter 11 - Dungeon [Hyde's Giant Fire Tower] Part 2 (Seeking Recommendations)

"Hyde Longsword: Originating from the standard longsword carried by every knight of Hyde, the birthplace of the Blue Cult."

It is said that scales of the ideal lightning 'Zekhrom' were added during its forging, resulting in the sword being imbued with lightning of ideals and hopes.

There is also a legend that if an undead manages to obtain a longsword from a knight, they will receive the blessing of 'Zekhrom'.

------------------------------------

After killing the three ancient knights, Lu Ming and the others arrived at the building where the ancient knights had been.

What awaited Lu Ming and his companions were two white mist gates, and on the ground of the building, there were also characters that Lu Ming did not recognize.

"Congratulations on successfully reaching this point. Now, you and your team must make a choice. To your left is a descendant of an ancient dragon hunter, now extinct, but still incredibly powerful. To your right is a dragon rider from Dorangreg, once a member of the kingdom's strongest army; if he were to charge on an earth dragon, he would be invincible. Good luck! From: God of Magic~"

After listening to Dex's translation of the text on the floor inside the building, Lu Ming pointed to the white mist door on the left and said to the others, "There is an ancient knight, a Hyde knight who uses a sword, and a Guardian Dragon over here! With our strength, going over there would be suicide."

Then he pointed to the white mist gate on the right: "The enemies here are all the ancient knights and sword-wielding Hyde knights we've fought before. The dragon riders no longer have earth dragons as mounts, so it shouldn't be too difficult."

“Then let’s attack from the right, but how do we get there?” Dex reached out and touched the unusually thick white fog around the gate, then turned to Lu Ming and asked, “Both sides are shrouded in this dense fog; we can’t see anything at all…”

Before he could finish speaking, the White Mist Gate vanished because of his hand.

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly in the future." As he walked past the dumbfounded Dex, Lu Ming patted his arm with a smile, then looked at the Ancient Knight and Hyde Knight not far away.

After a flurry of slashing and hacking, the knights on their way to the boss room were all cut down by the ruthless Lu Ming and his men.

Four Hyde Knights, four Hyde Straight Swords, but Lu Ming only got the last one, while Yusaha and the dual-wielding Furen swallowed three Hyde Straight Swords. This made Lu Ming a little unhappy.

Lu Ming, who had finally managed to replace the Sage's Candlestick with the Hyde Straight Sword, stood outside the white mist door of the Dragon Rider's room. He turned back to look at Dex and the others, and then led the way into the white mist door.

"I didn't expect you to actually get here." As Lu Ming and his group of five walked in through the white mist gate, the dragon rider sitting in the room rose, wielding a halberd and a large shield, and grinned maliciously at them, saying, "However, you won't get through here! I am Hamel, a dragon rider under King Vandrak, and the one who will kill you!"

"Uh..." Having just walked in and not even having a clear look at the dragoon, he heard the dragoon's infamous, flag-like line, and couldn't help but complain, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense! Be careful you don't accidentally jinx yourself!"

Seeing this, everyone except Lily and Lu Ming themselves couldn't help but sigh and rub their foreheads.

"..." The dragon rider, stunned by Lu Ming's sarcastic remark, took a while to react. Holding his halberd, he slowly ran towards Lu Ming and the others: "Prepare to die!"

Seeing this, Yusaha immediately used the Ancient Knight's Great Shield to block the dragon rider's attack, which gave Dex and the others an opportunity to start a frenzied attack on the dragon rider.

At that moment, Lu Ming also used Fine Snow on the dragon rider, forcibly freezing the armor on the arm of the dragon rider holding the long sword, making it difficult for the dragon rider to swing the long sword.

"Crystallization magic? No! This is Ace Loyes's ice magic!" He forcefully swung his longsword to force Yusaha and Furen back, then shattered the ice layer on his right-hand armor with a palm strike, and cautiously looked at Lu Ming: "Boy, are you a descendant of Ace Loyes?"

"Why should I answer you?" Taking a moment to slash the dragon rider, Lu Ming deliberately made things worse for him.

"..." Relying on the heavy armor on his body, the dragon rider ignored the five men's attacks, silently planted his halberd in the ground, and took a deep breath.

Seeing that the Dragon Riders were completely different from the ones in the game, Lu Ming subconsciously told everyone to stay away from the Dragon Riders, lest one of them suddenly jump out and kill five people at once, which would be a loss.

Suddenly, a very loud metallic scraping sound came from under the dragoon's helmet, so loud that everyone instinctively covered their ears. But even so, their ears still suffered greatly.

"Seed Machine!" The metallic sound of the dragoons was too terrifying. Lu Ming knew that this couldn't go on, so he immediately used the Seed Machine to shoot at the dragoons' helmets to stop them from making the metallic sound.

Because the seed machine kept hitting his helmet, the Dragoon had to stop casting Metallic Sound. However, in that instant, he grabbed his halberd and swung it at Yusaha.

Yusahar, still reeling from the terrifying metallic sound, instinctively raised her shield to block a sweeping halberd from the dragon rider, only to be knocked away by the rider. And the direction she flew towards happened to be one of the few windows in the room.

Fortunately, just as Yusahar was about to fly out and fall into the sea to his death, Dex used his strong body to forcefully stop Yusahar.
