This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Anyway, you won’t open the door unless you find the mechanism, right?

"Sir, there is something here..."

　Astraea walked around the many tombstones behind her and suddenly shouted.

"what?"

Ye Yiyi turned around and walked in the direction of the female knight's finger, and found an exquisite lotus in front of a tombstone.

"lotus?"

He raised his eyebrows, bent down to pick up the lotus, and looked it over.

"Metal? No, this looks like a mask!"

He looked at the light curtain thoughtfully.

【Spirit Fire Cinder Lotus Mask】

Chapter 480 [Virtual Sparks] and [Flame Blessed Eyes]

【Spirit Fire Cinder Lotus Mask】

Item Description: A mask made based on the appearance of the lotus.

Armor crafted and left behind by the Flame Worshipers.

A spell that can strengthen spiritual fire.

　$

It is said that this is proof of being favored by fire.

"Blessed by Fire... a spell that can strengthen spiritual fire, a spell?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, the "spell" in the item description was a general term for the three powers of magic, hymns, and spells of kings.

In other words, with the power of spiritual fire as the source, three kinds of magical powers of different natures were born.

That is, spiritual fire magic, spiritual fire hymns, and spiritual fire techniques.

"interesting."

Ye Yiyi unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.

The same power can be expressed in different forms.

Does this mean that these spells actually have something in common, or some kind of common origin?

Thinking of the item description of the Yunzi Linglian and Halwell's previous explanation, a word suddenly popped up in Ye Yiyi's mind.

"Savage Curse!"

Like the two curses suffered by the old wizard, the "weakness curse" and the "dispersion curse", according to him, are the manifestation of the power of "ugly spells".

The silk-weaving dance in puppet magic originates from the barbaric spell mastered by the ancient weavers who serve the soul-controlling cursed silkworms.

Only after removing the remaining poison of faith did he obtain this magic.

"By analogy, the skill of the Lotus-Faced Ancient Flame Worshiper in controlling spiritual fire might also be a form of wild curse!"

"Does this also mean that traces of spiritual fire spells can be found in this underground cemetery where the Flame Worshipers are buried?"

Ye Yiyi suddenly became excited.

"It's time for my favorite exploration session again!"

Have Astraea cast a cleansing spell to clear the dust from the mask.

Ye Yiyi took off the Yongyue pointed hat and fumbled to put the lotus mask on his head.

"How does it look?"

"This……"

The female knight looked at the lotus blooming on Ye Yiyi's face, her expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"It's very weird, especially in this gloomy cemetery... No! It's too weird!"

"Really? But I think it's okay."

Ye Yiyi took off the mask thoughtfully.

"Compared to the Cursed Frog Hood, I think this mask is much more beautiful."

"Curse...Curse the frog hood?"

Astraea's eyes widened when she heard that.

Of course she knew about the Cursed Frog. This thing with a pair of huge eyeballs and extremely disgusting power actually had a hood?

"It's a pity that Cursed Frog Head can't wear a hat, but this mask doesn't conflict with the pointed hat."

Looking at Ye Yiyi, who put on the lotus mask again and wore the Yongyue pointed hat on her head, Astralia's expression became more and more strange.

The ghost looks more and more weird, and it's obvious that he is not a good person.

Adults are so powerful, but why are their aesthetic concepts so weird?

The female knight couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Or is this the unique aesthetic that only the strong possess?

"Let's go, this door can't be opened, let's find a switch first."

“Oh…Ohhh!!”

The female knight reacted and hurriedly followed Ye Yiyi up and down the stairs.

The puppet swordsman was still leading the way. Walking down the stairs, Ye Yiyi found another skeleton sitting against the wall on the small platform along the way.

"Alas, another monk burned to death by the spiritual fire."

He leaned over as the female knight sighed, fumbled around in the corpse's arms, and finally pulled out a grayish-white heart-shaped stone.

"My Lord, what is this? A heart made of stone?"

Astralia asked curiously. This time, without Ye Yiyi's reminder, she opened the hymn book and released the cleansing magic on it.

"This is a dead heart chamber, an item used to commemorate the dead."

Ye Yiyi answered casually.

Of course, this thing is also an upgrade item for strengthening the incarnation medium, which can enhance the strength of the nameless incarnation medium.

In contrast, the active atrium can strengthen the named incarnation medium.

"Unfortunately, I haven't found any useful Nameless Incarnation Medium yet, so this Dead Heart Chamber is of no use for the time being."

"But since there are dead atria here, there should also be active atria. It's true that such strengthening supplies can be found in the catacombs."

Put away the atrium stone carving and continue down the stairs.

Soon, they arrived at another larger tomb chamber.

As the light of the waist lamp and the spiritual fire lotus spread, the phantoms of the past hidden in them also emerged one by one.

"There's an enemy... Wait, is that the Fire Sparrow Monk?"

The female knight who was alert in front of her suddenly froze.

Not far from them, a man in a black robe with a fire sparrow emblem on it turned around after hearing the voice. He was staring at the illusory figure standing in a corner of the tombstone in a daze.

An ordinary man's face, accompanied by an emotionless face like a corpse.

The phantom monk raised his lifeless eyes and looked at him, the pages of the book in his hand moving without wind.

He then raised his other hand, and an orange-red flame ignited in the palm of his hand.

"bass!!"

The friction between the sword blades made a sharp sound, and a blurry black shadow attacked like lightning.

Before the monk could throw the fireball, the flames went out quietly.

The phantom body fell backwards and disappeared into white mist before the puppet swordsman wrapped around his slender body.

Soul Echo +518.

"This time they are all miscellaneous soldiers."

Ye Yiyi glanced at the light curtain, and then watched the puppet swordsman rush out with a sword, rushing towards the other startled Fire Sparrow Flower monks.

Soon, the remaining four monk phantoms in the tomb were killed one by one by Narli with swift force.

Soul Echo +2072.

Current soul echoes: 58279.

"These phantoms are too weak. They can't compare to the lotus from before."

Astraea walked forward muttering and cast a holy hymn to heal Narli.

Even though the puppet swordsman was highly skilled, he was still grazed by the monk's sweeping flames.

"Are all the monks of Firebird Flower at this level?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the tombstone in the corner, picked up the items left behind by Phantom after his death, and asked casually.

"I haven't played against them, so I don't know their exact level."

The female knight summoned a glow to shine on the doll and replied by shaking her head.

"But monks only cultivate faith, not the body. Even if they are strong, they are just glass cannons. Once they are penetrated, they are vulnerable, just like these phantoms."

"But I heard that there are many strong people among the Fire Feather Knights who can perform powerful flame combat skills. It's a pity that I have never seen them in person, otherwise I would really like to compete with them."

Astraea sighed with some regret and frustration.

The desire for battle in her words was too pure, without any utilitarian nature.

I just want to challenge a strong enemy and experience the battle firsthand.

She is indeed a crazy girl who enjoys fighting!

If it weren't for the ability to invade with spirits, this guy would have died in that corner long ago.

Ye Yiyi pursed his lips and didn't respond, but just looked down at the spoils in his hand.

This time I was lucky, as the past phantoms of the five Fire Flower monks left behind one or two items after their death.

Among them, there are 3 dead atria and 2 active atria.

There are also two strange flowers that look like burning flames at first glance.

【Virtual Spark】

Item Description: Ignite the delicate flower of the flame image of the wife (V) IV Lu Baqi.

One of the materials used to craft props.

Sparks blooming on the land where the lotus once lingered.

Considered by flame worshippers to be a sacred symbol of natural fire.

Ancient fire worshippers are said to have journeyed north.

Follow the sacred path of sparks and make a pilgrimage.

Finally, he met the Spirit of Fire in the northern polar regions.

"Northern Pole..."

Does this mean that the current location of the Yunzi Linglian is in the northern polar region?

Ye Yiyi looked at the sparks in her hand, then reached out and tried to touch the illusory flame burning on the petals.

Surprisingly, the flame had no temperature.

"No wonder it's called the Flame Illusion. It turns out this flame doesn't actually exist."

But the light emitted by the flame does exist, and perhaps it can be used as a lamp.

He was just thinking about it when the female knight came over and took a look, and was surprised.
