Lord of Cinder in American Comics

A flustered Pepper explained while rubbing Stark's chin, which was red from the impact. She looked genuinely terrified by Stark's 'resurrection'.

Unexpectedly, Stark then grasped Pepper's hands and pressed his lips to Pepper's red lips.

## Chapter 92: The New Visitor

In just a few hours, Stark experienced a series of life-or-death changes and finally saw his own heart clearly.

The once unruly playboy has finally found a haven where he can stay.

Unable to bear the atmosphere, Cassel and his daughter Alex quietly got out of the car, leaving the car to the two of them in their private space.

Despite this, Kassel still took his daughter to find his mother to let her know he was safe.

After everyone else had left, Ash looked at the scene before her, feeling a strange unease.

It was originally thought that the Lothric Banner would be needed to summon the Lothric Dragoons for assistance in order to quell the crisis.

Unexpectedly, the orcs were kept out of the walls simply by the concerted efforts of the community residents.

The Smiths argued constantly, accusing each other of deception and infidelity, yet they cooperated seamlessly.

Jane Smith raised the rocket launcher and blasted a pangolin orc to death. John Smith then fired his UMP at the orcs, covering his wife's reloading.

John Smith, caught off guard and unable to reload, was kicked off the wall by his wife, thus avoiding an attack by an orc. He turned around, changed his weapon, and began shooting at the orcs that approached his wife.

Hatch tirelessly ran to the front lines, constantly resupplying ammunition to the various firing positions. His wife, Becca, stayed with Helen, helping to care for and comfort the children in the community.

The most surprising sight was Bob, who was with his girlfriend Gillian and her three children, loading various empty magazines.

It's unclear how this was done, but Gillian's three children were filled with wonder and awe. Under Bob's direction, the three little ones loaded ammunition with remarkable skill.

Kingpin's accountant, Leslie, was now playing the role of the head butler, using a walkie-talkie to coordinate his underlings and provide support to the various firing positions.

After looking around, Ash didn't see Kingpin or Onion Knight. Curious about their whereabouts, Ash didn't want to bother the others who were busy at the moment.

Ash followed the stone path upwards and arrived at the Firelink Shrine.

In contrast to the flying bullets below, the Firelink Shrine was unusually deserted at this moment.

Ares, the young woman, stood at the entrance of the sacrificial site, holding a blue sapphire short sword. The crystal blade extended outwards, giving her an imposing presence, like a woman guarding a pass against ten thousand men.

It was thanks to Ares's protection that the area inside and outside the sacrificial site became two completely different worlds.

Outside, guns roared and chaos reigned. Inside the sacrificial site, however, remained as quiet and peaceful as it had been for thousands of years.

The Fire Keeper sat on the steps of the Firelink Shrine, just as she had in the past, waiting for Ash's return.

"I'm back, my Fire Keeper."

Ash knelt on one knee before the Fire Keeper, just as she always did when the Fire Keeper helped her gain power. Although Ash had long surpassed the Lord of Cinder and no longer needed the Fire Keeper to cleanse the humanity from her soul, the habit of interacting with the Fire Keeper remained.

The Fire Keeper placed her hand in Ash's and said gently, "Welcome back, Lord Ash."

Ares stood at the entrance to the sacrificial site, watching the two exchange briefly without disturbing the tranquility of the moment.

However, a few inexplicable cries of "Ah~ Ah~" came from somewhere, sounding like crows or a little girl.

Looking up to see where the sound came from, Ares didn't find anything unusual.

Indeed, there is a bird's nest at the top of the sacrificial site, but Ares visited it many times and did not see any birds.

But to Ash and the Fire Keeper, the sound was a warning from the crows in the nest.

"Hey, hey, stop babbling and banging, someone's coming."

As followers of the goddess of sin, Belgar, the raven bears the mission of leading the undead from the Undead Asylum in the north to Lordran.

The crows possess powerful location abilities, enabling them to locate the Undead and successfully guide them to Lordland. In this world, they are Ash's primary force in identifying visitors from other dimensions.

Ash gave the Fire Keeper a gentle hug and pointed to the top of her head, saying, "Looks like I really have to go and fulfill the Ancient One's request. I'll be right back."

Leaving the sacrificial site, the sounds of gunfire and cannons continued outside. Fortunately, the gargoyles' lamps provided illumination, preventing the area outside the sacrificial site from being completely dark.

However, the area illuminated by the lamplight sticks is limited to the world inside the walls. Outside, apart from some distant building lights, only the streetlights on the paths provide a faint light.

He picked up a stone from the ground, turned around, and threw it at the tower to his left rear.

The stone struck the bell on the tower precisely, and a deep, resonant chime echoed throughout the entire sacrificial site.

Upon hearing the bell, everyone seemed to undergo a baptism from the inside out, and the movements of their hands inevitably paused.

Fortunately, the orcs outside also experienced the same pause, which prevented the assassins from suffering any accidents.

After the bell rang, a series of clicking sounds came from the gargoyles. Then, the gargoyles that had been used as lighting tools began to move.

Some active children, like Hatch's daughter, were lying on the gargoyle. Seeing this, they couldn't help but hug the gargoyle's hands tightly.

However, all she saw was the gargoyle gently lifting her off its body and handing her to Hachi beside it.

With a flap of their wings, the gargoyles took flight and rushed toward the outside of the wall.

The lamp staff slammed into the ground with a 'duang, duang' sound, smashing one orc after another to pieces and sending other orcs flying.

The assassins seized this opportunity. Gun barrels were pointed at the unfortunate victims who had been knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

Gunshots mingled with the sounds of stone statues, ghost lanterns, and fire sticks hitting the ground, interspersed with the sounds of rockets and grenades, creating a unique atmosphere.

Seeing this, Leslie understood why Kingpin had left him there.

As the underling, he now deeply realized that Onion Knight was Kingpin's boss, and Ash was Onion Knight's boss.

As for the underling of the underling, he was completely left here by his boss to clean up his boss's messes.

Fortunately, none of the people at the scene were law-abiding citizens, and witnessing such a situation would surely make them understand what they should and shouldn't do.

Leslie only needed to find them and give them a simple reminder.

After thoroughly preparing for the crisis, Leslie, having made a deep impression on everyone present, had a good talk with each of them.

But looking at the assassins wielding all sorts of guns and cannons in front of him, Leslie swallowed hard, wondering in his heart whether he could escape unscathed.

While the gargoyles were clearing out the orcs, Jane Smith, who was arguing with her husband again, found an AT4 transmitter in the weapons brought by an unknown source.

Looking at her husband, she fired a shrapnel grenade at the horde of orcs, as if she were venting her anger.

However, a human body blasted out from among the orcs and fell beneath the walls of the sacrificial site.

Seeing such a horrific scene, John Smith seemed to see his own future, and cried out in alarm, "Jane! You've blown someone up!"

## Chapter 93: Wolverine

John Smith’s exclamation startled Jane from her gaze fixed on her husband.

Looking at the corpse below the wall, riddled with bullets, everyone on the wall silently turned their heads away, pretending not to see it.

Although the couple argued incessantly from the moment they arrived at the sacrificial site, they were incredibly resourceful in their methods of killing orcs.

The argument between the couple was clearly their way of venting and expressing their feelings. Considering their own strength, no one would willingly seek to provoke the Smiths.

But someone still needs to jump down the wall to check on the body. Even if it's accidental, at least a decent funeral should be given.

Being alone, Snow was the one least concerned about her identity at the scene. At this moment, she was the only one who went to verify identities.

She jumped right next to the corpse, intending to find something on it that could identify her.

But for some reason, Snow, who had just squatted down, turned around and climbed up the wall, raising his shotgun and firing two shots at the corpses below.

This strange behavior left the assassins who were watching the scene puzzled.

Right after Snow fired, the body that had been blasted against the wall by the shrapnel swayed and stood up again.

No normal human being could stand up after taking a direct hit from a shrapnel grenade and then being shot repeatedly by a shotgun that can create holes in the shell.

At that moment, the assassins unleashed their maximum firepower at the standing corpse in unison.

Bullets struck this guy, occasionally sending sparks flying. He was pushed back repeatedly by the force of the countless bullets.

Snow, who fired the first shot, grabbed an RPG from someone nearby and pulled the trigger directly at the guy under the wall.

RPG—Rocket-Propelled Grenade—was originally designed to attack tanks. The PG-7VR tandem armor-piercing projectile used in this weapon can penetrate 600 mm of homogeneous armor.

The grenade struck the swaying corpse instantly, followed by an explosion, flames, and smoke erupting from his chest.

Propelled by the powerful impact of the grenade, the resurrected corpse crashed far away onto some unlucky guy's car parked outside.

As for Leslie, the guy who was injured once again, looking at his smashed car and then at Snow who had put down the rocket launcher, he gave up on the idea of ​​seeking compensation.

Upon seeing this scene, Ash ordered a gargoyle to tear the body out of the car and throw it inside.

The body slammed onto the floor tiles with a dull thud, a sound far from what one would expect from a human body.

Some of the bolder guys were about to go up and see for themselves, but when they saw Snow loading his RPG again, they froze in their tracks.

Ash stepped forward to examine the body, casually brushing aside the RPG Snow was pointing at it.

Ash turned the lying corpse over and understood why Snow had reacted so strongly.

He was hit by Jane Smith's shrapnel, then shot repeatedly by Snow with a shotgun, followed by a barrage of fire from the assassins, and finally Snow's rocket-propelled grenade.

Despite being hit so hard, the body was constantly regenerating. In just this short time, only the RPG wound on the chest remained to heal.

Judging from the speed at which the wound is healing, in just a few more seconds, even the damage from the RPG will be completely healed.

As the body recovered, its appearance also returned to normal.

He had hair that stood straight up, with the hair on both sides extending outwards from the sides of his flat head to form horn-like shapes.

The thick beard extends down from the sideburns, reaching its thickest point along the cheeks, and then gradually thins out towards the chin.

The silver manubrium of the sternum is still visible on the nearly healed wound on the chest.

Ash stopped Snow from shoving a grenade into his chest and stood by, waiting for his body to heal.

Within seconds, the entire body was restored to its most perfect state, without even the slightest scar.

After healing, the body instantly sat up, and three metal claws extended from between its fingers, sweeping across everyone around it.

'Ding, clang'

Two crisp sounds rang out from the knight's sword in Ash's hand. The first sound was the knight's sword blocking the steel claw of the first hand, and the second sound was the steel claw of the other hand severing the knight's sword.

Just as the body was preparing to launch another attack, Ash spoke.

"Logan, calm down, there are no enemies here."
