In Lu Ming's words, if they were to become ugly, they would both become ugly together. Such remarks naturally angered the woman in black, who slapped him. However, in the end, the woman in black did not refuse Lu Ming's invitation, and ultimately bit Amigodala's soul in half mouth to mouth, swallowing each half.
As it turned out, the two of them did not actually become ugly; they simply gained Amigotala's power and His ability to control dreams.
"Let's go! Your two henchmen are probably trembling in fear somewhere! We need to hurry!" Standing in front of a purple or pink lamp, the woman in black robes said to Lu Ming, who was testing his newly acquired power.
"Alright." Lu Ming, who had wanted to try to change the terrain at the edge of the nightmare, walked over helplessly after hearing the black-robed woman's urging. He lit the lamp and, together with the black-robed woman, used the power he obtained from Amigodala's soul to activate the lamp, which teleported him to another place.
Yes, the two of them cannot teleport directly using the lamp; they need the power of Amigodala. This is because in the game, the hunters are puppets of the moon elves, and their teleportation ability is granted by the moon elves.
-----------------------------------
After a series of earth-shattering spins, Lu Ming and the woman in black robes were teleported to the interior of a royal city amidst a heavy rain. This royal city was Dorangreg.
This area was created by the Amigodara using the memories of the undead of their homeland and the magnificent royal city they once saw. Its sole purpose is to allow those with the blood of the Old Gods to fight here, so that the concentration of the Old Gods' blood in their bodies can reach a level sufficient to give birth to or become child gods, in preparation for giving birth to or becoming divine children for Mego and the Moon Elves.
Therefore, here, Lu Ming and his companion could see many hunters and beasts that had fallen into madness, but they could not see any undead or wandering spirits, nor the monsters and knights of Dorangreg.
Perhaps it was because Lu Ming looked too... well, you know, that the hunters, who were already caught up in the thrill of the hunt, immediately brandished their weapons and charged at Lu Ming and the woman in black.
Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sneer. He used his super speed to smash them to the ground one by one with the Aries Staff, and said coldly, "Have you guys hunted to the point of being blinded by madness?"
Upon hearing this, the hunters immediately awoke, shaking their heads vigorously to clear their minds. They then asked in disbelief, "My lord, how could you...?"
"You've become like this? It's just because you ate some strange things!" Lu Ming smiled slightly, revealing the second row of teeth behind the first row, which startled the hunters.
"How many hunters are still conscious?" Ignoring the hunters who were frightened by their own appearance in the dream, Lu Ming pointed to the hunters and beasts that were hunting frantically and asked the hunters he had woken up.
"A dozen or so. After all, people like us can easily go crazy."
“That makes sense.” Hearing the hunters’ unanimous reply, Lu Ming nodded slightly, then asked, “Have you seen the two new hunters? They came with me to solve this problem.”
"No." The hunters, who had regained their senses, shook their heads.
Seeing this, Lu Ming and his companion decided not to linger any longer. After explaining their current mission to the hunters, they led them around the hunters and beasts who were so crazed that they couldn't regain their senses, and began to venture deeper into Dolangrag.
Although most of the people and monsters here were crazed hunters or people who had survived a few years ago but hadn't turned into beasts after receiving blood healing, Lu Ming still managed to pick up quite a few things on the ground. These included items like the armor, weapons, and large shields of the Zain Knights scattered around, as well as some special catalysts.
"The Knight of the Mirror." When Lu Ming and the others arrived at the top of a corner of the royal city of Dorangreg via an elevator, they were greeted by a knight gleaming in silver, wearing silver-white armor and carrying a magic mirror shield.
He might not be the real Mirror Knight, but merely an illusion created by Amigotala in this area using Lu Ming's memories. However, he is still quite difficult for those hunters to deal with! If they rely solely on those hunters, they will likely lose in the end.
However, to Lu Ming and the woman in black, this Mirror Knight was nothing but a weakling. No matter how strong he was, could he possibly be stronger than Amigodara?
So when Lu Ming and the woman in black robes saw that the hunters were having trouble dealing with the Mirror Knight, they joined the battle. The Mirror Knight was then overwhelmed by Lu Ming and the hunters.
Both the Mirror Knight and the Mirror Servant he summoned were forcibly reduced to dust by Lu Ming's Sunlight Spear.
However, after being killed, the Mirror Knight did not turn into a soul bubble, but into a large amount of blood, which was absorbed by the hunters, making them even stronger.
Seeing this, Lu Ming, who was spared from absorbing the Blood Echoes because of the blood of the four young gods, frowned. Some of the hunters had shown a hint of madness in their eyes after absorbing the Blood Echoes of the Mirror Knights. Although they quickly suppressed their madness, Lu Ming still felt that if this continued, they might go insane because of the blood of the old gods.
However, Lu Ming didn't voice his concerns. After all, these hunters were his subordinates, and abandoning them would be inappropriate. Besides, he had no way to prevent the hunter from turning into a beast.
"My lord, we have already looted this area. Apart from a strange slug catalyst that can cast special spells, all that's left are some crystals formed from congealed blood." After the Mirror Knight was killed, the hunters began to plunder this area, and they found a glittering slug here, which they then gave to Lu Ming.
"Slug catalyst?" Lu Ming naturally became interested in this catalyst, which even hunters dared not use for fear of losing SAN value, after he got his hands on it.
However, at that moment, another Amigodala appeared...
Chapter Twenty-Six - Projection
"Is this the capital city of Lothric this time?" Standing outside the city gates, Liu Ming glanced at the bodies of two dragons that had been dead for who knows how long on the city wall outside the gates, and muttered to himself with a frown.
"It seems the Moon Elves and Mego don't want us to disturb them, so they sent those Amigodara to stop us." The woman in black robes said to Liu Ming with some helplessness as they looked at the royal city before them.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming glanced at the vast, deserted desert behind him.
The hunters who had followed Liu Ming and his companion were not teleported here; instead, they were teleported directly to the distant Ya'nan. Liu Ming and his companion were originally supposed to be teleported there as well, but unfortunately, they were forcibly left here by two Amigodala on the way.
“Yes! The two of us pose a great threat to them.” With a somewhat helpless smile, Liu Ming looked at a small door on the right and said to the woman in black robes, “It seems that’s the way we can continue forward.”
Do you really think we can defeat them?
"I don't know. But I think we can give it our all, at least we can live up to our efforts!" Liu Ming said with a smile, gently holding the black-robed woman's hand.
“Alright. Let’s go!” Hearing Liu Ming’s words, the woman in black frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded, took Liu Ming’s hand, and continued their journey.
Compared to the others, Liu Ming and the woman in black robes actually had a great deal of chemistry. Their only weakness was a slight personality clash...
However, none of the monsters, hunters, beasts, or even low-level ancient gods like Amigodara in the royal city could withstand ten rounds against the two of them.
So when they learned that these two were strong enough to deal with the low-level god Amigodala, the Amigodala chose to have the hunters and beasts trapped in the dream attack Liu Ming and the other two, while they themselves would launch ranged attacks from a distance, to prevent themselves from being cut down by the two of them, just like the Amigodala in Nightmare Frontier and Dolangreg Illusionary Royal City.
The problem is that Liu Ming's Bloodthirsty Crescent and the black-robed woman's Soul Greatsword are too powerful for the hunters and beasts. They are basically dead if they are touched and injured if they are grazed. In addition, Amigodala's own attacks are powerful attacks that do not distinguish between friend and foe. So these hunters and beasts are basically useless!
There was no other way. When Liu Ming and his companion had already reached the place where the Dragon Slayer Armor should have been, the two Amigodalas clinging to the outer wall of the Great Archives had no choice but to join forces and personally deal with Liu Ming and his companion.
Compared to others who wanted to challenge them, Liu Ming and the woman in black were excessively strong. The Crystal Soul Gun alone was enough to prevent them from effectively launching beam attacks at Liu Ming and the woman. Even when they managed to block the Crystal Soul Gun's attacks with their strong arms, the beams would deviate, allowing Liu Ming and the woman to easily dodge their attacks.
Perhaps realizing that things couldn't continue like this, the Amigodala began bombarding the platform bridge where Liu Ming and his companion were located with beam attacks, intending to completely destroy the bridge and trap Liu Ming and his companion in the crevices of the dream, never to escape again.
However, just as they blasted the bridge down, causing Liu Ming and the woman in black robes to fall into the abyss, a demonic dragon suddenly rose from the falling bricks and stones, its two hind claws viciously grabbing the heads of the two Amigodala. With a slight exertion, it twisted the heads off the two Amigodala and killed them.
Holding the black-robed woman sitting in its front paws, the dragon crushed the two heads of Amigodara with its hind claws, and at the same time coiled its serpentine body, handing their souls over to the black-robed woman before flying directly towards Yharnam City.
Since teleportation is going to be problematic and being intercepted by Amigodala time and time again, I might as well just fly there directly, saving myself the trouble of going to Anor Londo to deal with even more Amigodala! The strength of the souls of these low-level Old Gods is not even a quarter of that of the White Dragon Seath. No matter how much they eat, it won't amount to much. So now the two of them should head straight for Yharnam to stop Megol and the Moon Elf from giving birth.
That way, at least it will be a little faster.
However, as soon as the dragon entered the airspace of Yharnam, it was attacked by several pilgrimage butterflies created by Amigotala in the Yharnam illusion.
Although the dark magic attacks of these pilgrimage butterflies have no effect on the dragon, they still hurt when they hit you! And if they hit the woman in black robes, wouldn't she be forced to kneel down?
Therefore, the dragon scanned its surroundings with its nine eyes, then used its two front claws to protect the woman in black robes. It took a deep breath, inhaling air, moonlight, clouds, and other things, and then exhaled it, which, along with the pale white attack, swept towards the pilgrimage butterflies.
With just three breath attacks, the dragon wiped out all the pilgrimage butterflies.
Furthermore, it landed safely and stably on the roof of the Yadan Chapel in Yarnam City, and transformed back into human form.
"I'm ashamed this is a dream, otherwise you would have spent a lot of time just getting dressed." The woman in the black robe raised her eyebrows under her hood as she watched a set of clothes appear out of thin air on Liu Ming's body, and teased him.
"Alright, alright, my dear wife, please stop teasing me, okay? Those pilgrimage butterflies' dark magic hurts a lot when they hit me!" The black-robed woman said, rubbing her arms and back, which were sore from being hit by the pilgrimage butterflies, and said somewhat angrily that she wouldn't come over to rub them for her.
"Hmph! Don't even think about getting me to rub it for you." However, the woman in black robes wasn't like Lily or Sham; she wouldn't show weakness to Liu Ming, much less offer to rub his hands. Even though Liu Ming had hinted at it, it was the same.
"Sigh~! Whatever." With a slight sigh, Liu Ming took out a large shield from his phone, handed it to the woman in black, and said to her, "The people here are used to using firearms, so we should be as careful as possible."
"Do you think I, whose true form is black mud, would be afraid of a flintlock pistol?" Although she said this, the woman in black robes didn't hesitate at all when she took the large, seemingly specially made shield, which wasn't very heavy. On the contrary, she seemed quite happy.
“You’re not afraid of bullets, but what if the enemy uses fire? This shield is made from the ashes of a special fire lizard and magical metals, and it can absorb fire.” Knowing the black-robed woman’s greedy nature, Liu Ming explained the shield’s ability and then handed her a specially made longsword to prevent her from trying to snatch his Irithyll Straight Sword and Blue Flame Sword if her Dark Sword was interrupted during the battle.
Upon hearing this, the woman in black felt a warmth in her heart. As she took the weapon from Liu Ming, she grabbed his hand and kissed him on the cheek.
"Let's go, darling." After the kiss, the woman in black robes took Liu Ming's hand and led him on a journey to explore Ya Nan City.
Compared to the royal capitals of Dorangreg and Lothric, Liu Ming and his companion didn't see many hunters or beasts in Yharnam. Instead, they saw many humanoid figures resembling black mist. These ghostly beings were Yharnam people and priests of the Healing Church trapped in an endless cycle of nightmares from another world. Of course, there were also people who had already turned into beasts.
Their bodies and souls were no longer here, but they could still see Liu Ming and his companion, attacking them with weapons existing within this nightmare. Because of this, Liu Ming and his companion's exploration was extremely slow—so slow that they had to deal with over twenty of these monsters every few steps!
So these things slowed down both of their pace.
As the red moon gradually rose, Liu Ming and the woman in black robes couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
Just then, two wounded hunters suddenly appeared in the sight of Liu Ming and his companion. They were being surrounded by a group of otherworldly dream projections. Although they had weapons, they were already exhausted.
Seeing this, Liu Ming and his companion didn't think too much and ran over immediately, using their weapons to rescue the two hunters.
These two hunters were the same two hunters who entered the dream with Liu Ming and were injected with the umbilical cord blood from the third umbilical cord.
The two hunters breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the half-dragon with dragon scales who had saved them was Liu Ming. They collapsed to the ground, looking exhausted and panting.
“My lord, while you were away, we found Meg's cradle. Although it hasn't been born yet, we'll wait there and kill it when it's at its weakest! But there are many filthy bloodline elves there, and we couldn't defeat them, which is why we ended up like this…” The hunter with the lightest injuries pointed into the distance and said to Liu Ming, panting.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming was slightly taken aback, and then looked in the direction the hunter was pointing. There, in the distance, stood a palace with an architectural style completely different from that of Ya Nan. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be an elven architectural style.
He only knew that Meg would be born there, but he didn't know exactly how to get there.
However, just as Liu Ming and his companion were about to ask the two hunters how they got there, they discovered that the two hunters had died from their injuries!
Thus, Liu Ming could only sigh helplessly and, with the woman in black robes, began searching for the path to the palace in Ya Nan City.
Whether it was just his imagination or something else, Liu Ming felt that after they encountered the two hunters, the number of projections of people trapped in this nightmare from another world they met along the way was increasing. As time went on, they even encountered several priests from the Healing Church who were almost materialized, just like the hunters and beasts.
As time passed, the monsters and projections in the nightmare became more and more real, as if those otherworldly beings trapped in this dream would come to this dream world with the birth of Mega.
Looking at the projections around him, which had already formed dark red and filthy skeletons within the black mist, Liu Ming's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"These guys are using Mego's power to create their own skeletons with bloodstone. If Mego successfully descends to earth, they will be able to grow flesh and blood and begin to devour the dreams of Puru's creatures, absorbing their life force, thus breaking free from the shackles of the dream world and allowing these people from another world to escape from the dream world into Puru's real world!" Bishop Amelia suddenly appeared beside Lu Ming and the woman in black robes who were fighting hard, and said to them.
"Is everything back home ruined?" The woman in black robes asked with some concern upon seeing Bishop Amelia suddenly appear and bring the Moonlight Greatsword.
Bishop Amelia shook her head and said, "No. Because you two consumed Amigodala's soul, the dream in our area, which is the shared dream of you and Lu Ming, has become able to resist the erosion of Mega's nightmares and no longer needs the protection of the power of this Moonlight Greatsword."
Upon hearing this, the woman in black immediately walked to her side, handed her the long sword in her hand, and snatched the Moonlight Greatsword from her.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with the black-robed woman's actions, but because he was currently being attacked by a group of skeletons shrouded in black mist, dressed in the robes of the Healing Church, and wielding weapons, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and refrain from arguing with her.
The woman in black robes keenly sensed Liu Ming's emotions and dissatisfaction. However, she didn't care and didn't want to say anything more. After all, besides Liu Ming, there was another immortal who frequently visited her in her dreams...
Killing the projections one by one in this dream world, Liu Ming and the woman in black robes were already struggling, not to mention carrying a burden who had little combat ability and had only learned some healing miracles.
Helpless, Liu Ming could only throw the Aries Holy Staff to Bishop Amelia, allowing the bishop of the Healing Church to use some soul magic he had learned from the woman in black robes for self-defense. He then took out a repeating rifle developed by the beast-eared scientists of the (Hunter) organization and began to play a gunfight with the projections.
The rifles developed by those beast-eared scientists were more advanced than any of Puru's firearms, even surpassing the firearms of the Bloodborne world. A single shot was enough to shatter the rock-solid Bloodstone skeleton and pierce through the bodies of several projections!
Upon seeing this, the woman in black robes immediately led Bishop Amelia toward the elven palace, while Liu Ming followed behind, using the magic cast by his Blue Flame Sword and his rifle to protect them.
Soon, they arrived at a large gate guarded by several elves who had joined the Filthy Blood Clan.
Without a word, the woman in black robes rushed forward and swiftly and cleanly killed the elves with her moonlight greatsword.
Once Liu Ming had run into the gate, the woman in black robes activated the mechanism without hesitation, closing the gate and locking a large number of projections outside.
Chapter Twenty-Seven - The Enlightenment of the Mandala
Compared to the area outside the gate, the enemies Lu Ming and his companions encountered inside were all elves who had been seduced and joined the corrupted bloodline. These elves had been cursed by the elven gods for betraying their own deities and siding with the ancient gods.
At this moment, these elves are all unable to use magic due to the curse. Furthermore, because they were too close to the Old Gods, they have been tainted by their aura and transformed into insect-like monsters entangled by vines.
These corrupted elves, with their twisted faces, four deformed hands, and bodies resembling flies, mosquitoes, and fleas, faced Lu Ming and his companions. Some charged at them with weapons, ready to fight to the death, while others fled to the side of several filthy blood elves who had completely transformed into giant beetles and fleas, leaving them to deal with Lu Ming and his companions.
Unfortunately, these strange things posed little threat to Lu Ming and the woman in black robes; only the fleas' spitting blood was somewhat annoying.
Using the Blue Flame Sword to unleash a flash of blood moon, Lu Ming cast only three spells to turn all the corrupted elves, who had transformed into giant insects, into crystal sculptures, thus taking the lives of these tainted blood race members.
Seeing this, the corrupted elves, who had little fighting ability, could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
They were not warriors to begin with. During the time when the Dark Ones and the Vampires ruled the Aifa Empire, the weak elves could only survive by becoming part of the Dark Ones' forces or by becoming members of the Filthy Vampires. Therefore, they were all cowards. It was absolutely impossible for them to fight to the death with Lu Ming and his companions!
