"The first blow." Yu Jin jumped and stepped on the hammer head of the thunder hammer.

Lei Hammer looked at Yu Jin who was standing on the hammer. Although he was a head taller than Yu Jin, at this moment his hammer seemed to be nailed to the ground. No matter how hard he tried, the hammer remained motionless.

"Bang! Bang!" The musketeer in the distance saw that Thunder Hammer and Ember were in a stalemate and immediately fired two shots at Ember.

"Two bullets, counts as the second blow." Yu Jin jumped from the hammer head to the ground and said so after dodging the bullets.

However, the Fatui did not stop their attack because of Ember's strange behavior.

A group of flying insects flew out of the lantern of the Leiying Warlock. Although these little insects were tiny, they were not good people because of the electric arcs flashing between them.

"Zizi~zizi~" the sound of lightning was heard, but the expected scene of embers falling did not appear.

Yu Jin crossed his hands, and as he pushed his abdomen forward, a spherical shock wave spread out with him as the center, directly killing all the Feiying around him.

"The third sword." Yu Jin's voice became gloomy, no longer relaxed. He didn't know when a straight sword appeared in his hand.

An ordinary person, an ordinary sword.

But at this moment, the three Fatui seemed to be stared at by some terrifying existence, and dense beads of sweat oozed out of their faces under their masks.

Every cell in their body was shouting silently—Run! Don’t look! You will die! ! !

"The first knife I used was a greeting from you, the second knife was a slip of the hand, and the third knife was just because you didn't know what was good for you."

Accompanied by the sound of twigs breaking, Yu Jin slowly walked towards the three Fatui.

"For the Queen!" I don't know if he couldn't bear the pressure, or if his loyalty to the Queen defeated his fear.

Lei Chui roared, and the evil eye on his waist continuously converted life force into elemental power. The majestic thunder and lightning instantly covered Lei Chui's entire body.

"Die!" The thunder hammer that activated the evil eye was like an angry bull, and it struck the embers with great force.

The grass and trees around the embers were swaying in the strong wind caused by the thunder hammer, not to mention the dense lightning on the hammer.

"Bang!" A dull sound was heard, and Lei Chui looked at his flying hammer in astonishment, at a loss as to what to do.

Yu Jin saw the flaw in the thunder hammer attack the moment it happened, and then he met it at a perfect angle.

The greater the strength the opponent uses, the greater the backlash he will have to endure.

This is the legendary "rebound"! As long as it is a humanoid, even if it is a god, the embers will be rebounded to you!

"Rashly using a power you are not familiar with will only make your weakness bigger, especially when you are facing a strong person."

However, Lei Hammer could not hear it, because the straight sword in Yu Jin's hand had already pierced his chest.

Seeing this, Musketeer no longer spared his life. His skin shriveled visibly, and correspondingly, the flames on his body became more and more vigorous.

But this is futile in front of the embers.

"Is this the gun that Patch talked about? It's a really powerful thing. If an ordinary person has it, he can probably kill a knight." Yu Jin said with interest while playing with the gun in his hand.

"But whether you are an ordinary person or a knight, pointing a weapon at a child is an unforgivable crime."

"What do you think, sir?" Yu Jin returned the gun to the gun and said in his ear.

"Huh..., cough..." Musket looked at the straight sword that pierced his chest, said nothing, and fell down straight.

Blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and Yu Jin turned his head to look at the Lei Ying Warlock who was almost frightened silly.

“Die, die, die!” Under the lantern, more flying objects attacked the embers.

"The power of material possessions is always somewhat vain. Of course, if the young lady can be like me, then just treat it as my fart."

Looking at the group of flying stars flying towards him, Yu Jin raised his hand.

The depths hidden deep within their bodies began to surge because their masters had just allowed them to come out for a breath.

Pitch-black ink drops flowed out from Yujin's hands, swallowing up all the light, as if they were cracks in space.

That is the darkest part of human nature. The gathering of human nature brings about the abyss, the distortion of the abyss brings about the depths, and the deep sea of ​​depths is enough to swallow up the first fire and make the world dark.

The ink droplets squirmed, and flies flew out of them. Those flies had human faces, and they were distorted and crazy.

They devoured Feiying with all their might, their faces revealing the most twisted and darkest expressions from deep within humanity.

Soon, the firefly was devoured by the flies. Then they turned their attention to the Lei Ying Warlock who was slumped on the ground.

"Stop! You've had enough time to get some fresh air!" Yu Jin knew what they were going to do even with his butt.

The flies stopped, they put away their darkness and distortion, and looked at the embers in confusion.

"Lord, she should die."

"Lord, those with blood on their hands are unworthy of your mercy."

……

Thousands of voices rang in Yu Jin's ears at the same time, and the darkness in Yu Jin's heart was also drawn out.

Yu Jin's heart sank. As expected, Youshen was never an easy thing to deal with.

"Her sins are not worthy of such torture." Yu Jin did not give in. Looking at You Shen who was still indifferent, he continued.

"My body is still strong, my soul is still solid, and gods can withstand your bites better than mortals."

After hearing what Yu Jin said, Ying Chong, or You Shen, showed a terrifying smile.

"So it is good, my Lord."

The flies and insects in the air no longer resisted the ember's orders, and turned into ink drops and merged into the ember's body.

The familiar tinnitus and gnawing sensation returned to Yu Jin's body, but it only caused his body to pause, and nothing more happened afterwards.

This kind of pain is normal for him.

Yu Jin looked at Lei Ying Warlock and threw the straight sword in his hand away.

"You can't escape death, do it yourself or I will do it."

The Leiying Warlock trembled as she picked up the straight sword on the ground. If it weren't for the embers protecting her, she would have turned into a non-human creature.

Obviously, she also knew who was the benefactor for her to remain in human form. She choked up and said, "I...we are just...just...the most...dirty part of the Fatui."

"My... my sister, she is number 241, just like me. She... she is not contaminated. Please... save her!"

After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her courage and committed suicide without waiting for Yu Jin's response.

"When a man is about to die, his words are good." Yu Jin picked up the straight sword and took the military badge from the waist of the Leiying Warlock.

"145", Yujin wiped off the dust and saw the number on the military badge.

"I'm not an omnipotent god. You can handle this kind of thing yourself after you have atonement for your sins."

In the invisible world, three faint white gases were sucked into the body by the embers. They were their souls.

If they are not reduced to slag by the furnace, a new life of innocence awaits them.

Chapter 4 Soul Food

2023-08-28

In the quiet woods, a bonfire started.

Yu Jin carried Garula on his back and placed her gently next to the campfire.

When he took a closer look, Yu Jin discovered that Garula's entire body was wrapped in bandages, without any clothes on, and even his cloak was a piece of torn linen.

"Tsk! It's a bit miserable. It seems that this world is not so friendly." Yu Jin lifted the bandage on Garula's arm, and then saw the dense scabs under the bandage.

Yu Jin looked at the wounds on Garula's body, put his hand under his chin, and began to think.

"Hmm? Should I get this kid something delicious at this time?"

Yu Jin said to himself. He was a little unsure, after all, he hadn't seen the child for a long time.

Needless to say, there were few living people in the world of Dark Souls. The same was true for the world of the Ring of Magic. After all, after the Ring of Magic was broken, 90% of the people in the border area went crazy.

"Okay! Let me let you taste my cooking skills as a god!" Yu Jin did whatever he thought of.

He excitedly pulled out several weapons from his body and used them to build a simple stove.

I put the iron pot that I had taken away at some point on the table, added water, and then Yu Jin started to have a headache again.

He just thought about it and it seemed that he had no cooking skills at all.

“Never mind, just add in everything useful!” But these did not pose any difficulty for Yu Jin, and he soon thought of a delicious dish.

"Flowering green grass, add! Sweetened dried fruits, add! Tears of the goddess, add, add a little..." Countless things were stuffed into the small iron pot by the embers.

Soon, a pot of colorful soup appeared before him.

I tried it, but still couldn't taste anything, but it must have great benefits.

Looking at the ember version of "element soup" bubbling in front of him, he felt that he could have a clash with the Onion Knight.

Although his old friend could make an elemental soup that even an undead like himself could taste, Yu Jin felt that his own was not much worse.

"Well! Very good, it seems that I do have some talent." Yu Jin stirred the boiling soup with a branch and nodded with satisfaction.

With this pot of thick soup of his own, it would only take a few minutes for Galaru to get better.

"Hmm..., um——" Just as Yujin was stirring the soup, Garula, who had been sleeping for a long time, let out a few moans.

Then Yu Jin saw Jialuo suddenly jump up and look at him with vigilance.

At this time, the black energy on Galaruo's body began to emerge faintly again. It seemed that she had used the external power in her body again.

"Relax, relax, don't be so nervous, kid."

"What's your name? Don't worry, no one will chase you."

Ember tried his best to soften his expression, even though he was still wearing a helmet.

"Galura." Perhaps because he believed the embers, or perhaps because it was too cold away from the campfire, Galura finally went back to the campfire.

"Hahaha, that's right! Just wait a moment, the soup I made for you will be ready." Yu Jin said to Galaluo while adding ingredients into the soup.

Looking at Yu Jin's busy figure, for some reason, Jialuo always felt a warm fire burning in his heart, and his heart was filled with heat and vitality again.

"Here, this is the vegetarian soup I made specially for you. It took me a long time to make it. Try it." Yu Jin took the huge iron pot off the stove and placed it next to Galaura.

"Thank you...thank you." Galaruo looked at the colorful element soup in front of him and uttered three words with difficulty.

After saying that, Garuru saw Yu Jin looking at him expectantly. Damn it! Why could she see expectation in an iron helmet?
