Chapter 474 If You Are a Dragon, That's OK

brake--!

The big sword breaks the air!

At this moment, Ashes and Hawkwood simultaneously swung their swords and rushed towards each other!

There was no holding back, because at this moment, only an all-out fight to the death was the greatest respect for each other!

Buzz——Boom!

The sword flashed!

Hawkwood spun in the air and slammed the sword in his hand heavily on the ground, blasting the ground full of rubble!

Swish—ding!

Pull back and strike back!

Huijin swiftly rolled to avoid the attack from Huixin, and with his backhand he stabbed the air with his sharp sword!

The sound of jingling bells rang out from the altar of the Fran Fortress.

Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, both men used all their skills and the most ferocious means of attack in their lives to plunder the other's life!

The ferocious attack fully demonstrated the power of wolf swordsmanship.

The swift steps are like a nimble snow wolf in the dark night.

As the swords crossed, sparks flashed and bright light burst out, as if they wanted to use their most meager strength to re-light this world where the fire was about to go out!

Come to think of it, we haven’t had a good chat since we met at Gulongding.

There are still many things I want to say...

Tell me about my experiences along the way and tell me about what you have seen and heard along the way.

Maybe we have passed each other countless times along the way.

If we didn't have our own missions, perhaps we could have stood side by side in the Fran Fortress to resist the abyss, and made a promise between close friends like Onion and Youm.

If we didn't each have our own missions, perhaps we could go to the original furnace together, and regardless of whether the world continued or not, we would stand silently behind each other like Anri and Horace.

There is still a lot to say.

brake--!!!

Blood splattered.

The cold blade pierced through the chest, bringing out blood and splashing scarlet color.

Blood beads gathered and condensed at the blade of the Fran sword, and then turned into a black and red line on a cold color.

The place became quiet again.

The blood on his chest gathered into a scarlet river, winding down along the hilt, flowing through Ash's fingers, and dripping onto the already mottled ground.

Hawkwood looked at the Fran sword that pierced his chest, just like he looked at the cold weapon that the captain used to pierce his teammate's body.

But the difference is.

This time, he was no longer afraid or panicked.

Instead, I feel a little relieved.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it just turned into a short sigh:

If You Were a Dragon...

「That’s fine……」

Just as you said.

The Faran Undead Squad has not failed and never has.

There is never a loser in a duel between us.

Because no matter who wins in the end, it will be the victory of the Undead Team.

Long silence!

The twists and turns and shocking plot simply amazes all the players who play here!

You should know that as one of the NPCs in Dark Souls, the story line of Frustrated Brother Hawkwood is one of the longest in the game.

What's more, Hawkwood had already made his debut in the trial version of the game.

Both the level of familiarity with him and the importance of this character throughout the entire story are enough to resonate with players.

This kind of heavy narrative texture is also something that has never been achieved by any game in Golden Wind or even the entire gaming industry!

Destruction and hope, redemption and futility, honor and escape.

When these conflicting yet unified emotions are outlined by fragmented narratives and plot performances that leave room for imagination, the complex, obscure, moving and sigh-worthy "flavor" unique to soul-like games is truly reflected.

Perhaps when the small ring flag was raised for the first time and the view was overlooking the magnificent yet dilapidated city of Lothric, every player was excited and determined to bring the Four Cinder Kings back to the throne, become the heroes who save the world, and continue the title of the great explorer king.

But as we go along, times have changed.

The bright and warm Onion Knight died, the gentle and sincere Thief died, the kind and gentle Anri died, and the Discouraged Brother who rallied his troops but died heroically died.

After everyone seemed to have completed the mission they were supposed to complete.

ash.

As you, who have found the four major firewoods in this world, are about to step into the initial furnace.

How should we choose the ending of this world?

…

finally!

Players set foot on the dilapidated high walls, the chaotic and dirty undead town, broke through the weird and beautiful world in the painting, and killed their way through the majestic Royal City of Lothric.

The four heads of the Cinder Kings who did not return to the Firelink Altar were all brought back by Ashes!

This incombustible garbage was unknown at first, with no one looking forward to it, no one caring about it, and no one even noticing it. After all the hardships along the way, it finally gathered the fire that continues the world!

The watchers of the abyss, the Farran Undead Squad.

The king of the City of Sin, the Giant King Youm.

The Deep Saint, Eldridge the Devourer of Gods.

The end of Lothric's bloodline, the twin princes of Lothric.

Plus there’s the little old man Rudolph who has never escaped.

The five salary kings!

Coefficients are here!

It doesn't matter whether they are alive or dead now.

However, the five fire kings once again began the sacrificial ceremony to add firewood to the original fire!

The ashes came to the campfire at the sacrificial site.

The Fire Keeper came over.

"Lord Ashes, the five Cinder Kings have all returned to their positions. This is all thanks to you, and it is also proof of your status as king."

"Now, please face the Cinder Lords and kneel before the campfire."

"And you will inherit the remaining flames of the five Cinder Kings."

Ashes tied his armor tightly, came to the campfire, and knelt on one knee.

The Fire Keeper's voice sounded.

"Great Lords of Salary,"

"At this moment, the fire is about to go out, and the king is nowhere to be seen."

"Everyone, please hand over the remaining fire to the inheritor."

hiss--

The flickering flames on the five thrones suddenly went out with the Fire Keeper's voice!

Then, on the throne, five sparks clustered like fire gathered into beams of light and floated towards the Fire Keeper!

After gathering the last remaining flames of the five Fire Kings, the Fire Keeper solemnly came to the Ashes and gave them this power.

After darkness.

A bonfire in front of him was reignited.

call--

【The Furnace of the First Fire】

With the crackling sound of the flames, nothing seemed to have changed.

But everything seemed to have changed.

All around, wherever I looked, there was a sense of desolation and decay.

The ground was covered with thick dust, which flew up at the slightest movement.

But even if it turns to ashes, the ashes will recognize this place.

This is the Fire Shrine.

However, the Firelink Sacrifice Site here is obviously not the same as the one where he is, nor is it the same as the Fireless Sacrifice Site where the former hero Guda was.

Perhaps there are countless Firelink Shrines, which act like hubs, guiding oneself to different time and space.

Following the sound of footsteps, we slowly moved forward.

Outside the door, it was all gray!

All the players exclaimed the moment they walked out the door!

"OHHHHHH—it's here!"

far away!

At the end of the empty rift valley, the skyline was covered with dark rolling clouds.

A red setting sun emitted its last rays of light, dyeing the skyline blood red.

The black shadow almost completely blocked the already lingering setting sun, forming a dark shadow in the center of the sun.

From a distance, it looked like a huge black hole like an abyss was taken out from the middle of the sun.

All around, there was only a ring of scarlet setting sun still trying hard to emit light.

A huge pillar of light stretched across the sky, rising from the distant skyline and connecting with the setting sun in the sky, with no one knowing where it came from.

The ground was covered with black and grey dust, and broken swords and halberds were everywhere!

Here it is!

The cover of the game is actually this original furnace!

Many people were confused before. According to Golden Wind’s habit, both the game cover and the promotional video were basically taken from real scenes of the game.

But this time they didn't find the place that corresponded to the game cover.

It turns out that the original cover painting when the game was launched was actually the final destination of the game.

Looking around, there was chaos all around.

The collapsed royal city, the twisted trees, and all kinds of buildings with different styles are stacked and intertwined together, as if they had experienced a distortion of time and space.

Obviously, this is a place where time and space converge. The ashes walked forward along the narrow and rugged gray road, looking around.

All around were broken swords and ruins.

It seems that countless challengers have come here before.

However, the weapons scattered all over the ground also meant that they had all failed.

This place is like a sword tomb. What is crushed and creaking under your feet is not sure whether it is the dust left after the fire burned, or the ashes of the bodies of those who once challenged you.

Finally, the ashes slowly walked to the end of the rugged path.

In front was a huge open space!

Too big!

The scarlet pillars of light that stretched across the sky shot up from this huge valley!

Chi Chi——

Under the huge intuition of danger, the ashes drew their weapons one after another.

There is the Lothric straight sword that has been with him since the beginning of the game, the Fran Greatsword that inherited the wolf's blood and fighting spirit, the Exile's Greatsword that only tough men can use, and the non-existent Koukou Sword (Dark Sword).

Of course, there are also tree branch staffs, cool toys, and even gloves.

Every Ash that arrived here walked forward slowly.

And the next moment!

boom!

Suddenly!

In the center of the valley, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the ground.

And in such a strong flame, a figure slowly stood up.

His body was not as big as Yum's, nor as weird as the dancers, and his outfit was far less stylish than that of the Fran Street Dance Team.

However, he is full of dominance and majesty!

Because in his hand is the core of the campfire that players have seen countless times and have searched for countless times!

Spiral sword!

The final BOSS——[The incarnation of the fire kings]!
