Although the wandering spirits were menacing, they were no different from wild beasts after all. In fact, they were even more fragile than wild beasts.
"Sizzle!" The remaining blood of the wandering soul spurted out along the wound, dyeing the water surface of the depression bright red.
"Ugh—" Irene leaned on a tombstone with some trembling and began to vomit.
She lives in Mondstadt, a beautiful and peaceful place. Although she works hard to become a knight, to be honest, she has only fought a few decent battles, let alone killed anyone.
Irene came to her senses, bent down and looked at the lifeless soul. Then her heart palpitated again.
Although she had realized from her previous experience that these creatures might not be considered human beings, Irene still couldn't help but feel frightened when she actually saw them.
The pale skin tightly wrapped around the bones, without a trace of flesh in between. These guys looked like just a layer of skin covering a skeleton.
It was hard to imagine that they could survive in this state and spray so much blood.
Irene gathered her thoughts and continued along the road. After walking out of the disturbing cemetery, she came to a cliff.
"Crash!" The stones at Irene's feet fell, and she looked down the cliff cautiously.
"It's so high..." Irene swallowed. She had never seen such an abnormal scenery.
Because she saw endless mountains below the cliff, and the tops of the mountains were covered with snow.
This can't be a normal geographical environment!
"Forget it, why bother with all this." Irene shook her head and started walking along the only path along the cliff.
After getting rid of a few wandering souls along the way, Irene felt that her state of mind had improved significantly.
Now she came to a door frame, and she could see the wide circular square inside, the numerous tombstones, and the huge iron man half-crouching in the center of the square.
Irene looked at the broadsword in her hand, and then looked at Guda in front of her, who was almost the same size as the ruins guard.
I feel like my small body isn't even strong enough to withstand a punch.
Irene looked around, and then she saw a string of glowing pale yellow runes in front of the door frame.
She felt something in her heart and touched the rune. The pale golden rune flickered a few times and then disappeared.
Soon, a somewhat exasperated voice reached Irene's ears.
"Hey, hey, hey? What's going on? I was about to defeat that guy on horseback just now!"
A shadow appeared in Irene's eyes, and then the shadow became more solid. Finally, a guy with a completely different atmosphere from this world appeared in front of Irene.
It was Feng who had just fought fiercely with the tree guard!
He has now given up fighting with Marlennia. He is defeated in one blow every time, which makes him feel frustrated. Is he really that weak?
So Feng fled the sacred tree decisively, and died countless times during this period. Fortunately, he finally found a portal and ran to the weakest Nimgefu - in fact, it was Yujin who saw that he died too much and sent him there.
"Inado?" Irene asked uncertainly when she saw Feng's outfit.
"Huh? Who are you? Have you also received guidance from the seniors?" Feng was also very curious and surprised when he saw Irene.
He looked around and said in surprise, "You are really brave. The things in this world are too creepy. I don't even dare to explore. You actually started fighting right here. I admire you."
"Huh? Is that so?" Irene also looked puzzled. From what this person said, there are other worlds?
"It seems that you just received some advice from your seniors?" Feng smiled. Then he confidently said, "It's okay, I'll lead you!"
With that, Feng rushed towards Guda.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing this, Irene also rushed in.
Chapter 105 Guda

"Why doesn't he move?"
"How would I know?"
Feng and Irene looked at each other. They thought there would be a fierce battle after they entered, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
"Let me try." After walking around Guda, the only thing Feng found strange was the iron sword stuck in Guda's chest.
"Gurgle..." Feng pulled the spirally twisted iron sword out of Guda's body with some effort. The sound it made made people feel a little uneasy.
"This is not the sound of cutting flesh." Feng narrowed his eyes. This spiral sword did not seem to be inserted into flesh, but rather into sticky mud.
The thick black blood spurting out of Guda's wound further confirmed Feng's thoughts.
"Bang!" Feng threw the spiral sword on the ground, immediately jumped back a step and drew out his sword.
At the same time, the Eye of God on his ponytail began to emit a faint purple light.
"Be careful." Feng nodded to Irene who was alert in the distance, and then purple lightning began to jump on his sword.
"I understand!" Irene nodded heavily and walked around to Guda's side to prepare for the battle.
"Crack!" Guda woke up with the crisp sound of armor colliding on the giant in front of him.
He picked up the halberd beside him and stabbed Feng in front of him.
"Hard-shell!" Feng swung out his sword and barely pushed Guda's blade aside, then chopped at him.
The blade with lightning attached to it drew a scar on Guda's armor, and the purple lightning also penetrated into Guda's body and caused damage.
"Whoosh!" Feng suddenly felt a strong wind coming. He looked up and unexpectedly saw Guda rushing towards the wind and crashing into him with an Iron Mountain Lean!
Seeing this, Feng immediately bent his elbow to block and lowered his center of gravity, trying to block this powerful blow.
"Bang!" But he obviously underestimated Guda's strength. After a dull sound of flesh collision, Feng was knocked away by Guda.
"Oh no!" Feng felt the world spinning around him and immediately realized that something was wrong.
In this state, if the guy in front of me chases me, I'm afraid I can't do anything.
"Hah!" Feng activated the Eye of God, and dense lightning elements formed a purple shield around his body - he wanted to use this to reduce the damage he would suffer.
But to his surprise, the expected pursuit did not come. Feng rolled over to relieve the force and quickly stood up, and began to observe Guda's situation.
Then he saw Irene fighting with Guda. It turned out that Irene saw Feng being knocked away by Guda just now, so she immediately stepped forward to attract his attention.
Originally, Irene was worried that Guda would ignore her strong force when attacking him, but she didn't expect that the broadsword in her hand would cut a big hole in Guda's heavy armor with one blow.
Without caring about being surprised, Irene dodged Guda's casual swing and started fighting with him.
The older Irene got, the more surprised she was. What surprised her was not Guda's powerful strength, but his disorganized attack method.
The attack method, which used only instinct and brute force, reminded her of the wandering souls in the cemetery not long ago.
Fortunately, she had fought with wandering spirits for a long time before and had her own experience with this beast-like attack method.
Otherwise, with Irene's small physique, it would be a blessing if she could last a few seconds against Guda.
"Dang!" Guda struck hard again, the huge force splashing the accumulated water and directly splitting the stone bricks below into pieces.
Irene barely dodged it, and there was a constant ringing in her ears, and she was almost unable to bear it.
But she has company!
"Boom!" Several brilliant purple lightning blades were swung out from a distance, reaching their maximum power in this place where water was everywhere!
The lightning blade exploded, and the diffuse purple lightning jumped on Guda's body, causing him to stagger.
"Roar..." Guda squatted on the ground, as if he was in great pain. He let out waves of inhuman roars.
The heavy armor made of black iron on his body began to bulge, as if something was about to break out of the shell.
"Get away!"
"Know!"
Seeing such a strange scene, Irene and Feng didn't dare to make any excuses. They quickly distanced themselves and observed Guda's every move.
"Boom!" Not long after, Guda's upper body began to swell, and dark mud gushed out from his collar!
At the same time, a disproportionately large beast also stretched out from the black mud. Unlike the indescribable black mud, the left hand that stretched out was huge and dry.
Its fingers were like shriveled branches, its arms were as pale and wrinkled as the trunk of a cemetery tree, and as long as the right hand holding the halberd!
"Roar!" The black mud finally submerged Guda's upper body, turning it into a human pus. However, although the human pus was thick, it was unexpectedly short.
Rather than a snake, it looks more like a giant caterpillar with a snake head attached. Human pus, a disease that once spread throughout Lothric. It is essentially a specific manifestation of the erosion of the abyss.
Irene and Feng looked at each other with their scarlet eyes, and felt their hair stand on end. There was no trace of rationality in those eyes, only endless madness.
The Human Pus clapped its hands and flew into the air with the reaction force. It rushed towards Irene and Feng, determined to crush them into a pulp.
However, although the human pus came with great force, because it was attached to the people of Guda, many of its movements were extremely uncoordinated.
Irene and Feng quickly spread out and avoided the huge jump smash. But now the Human Pus would not let them go like this.
It swept away thousands of troops with its right hand, its halberd blade struck Irene, and its tail attacked Feng.
With a flash of lightning, Feng easily dodged the hasty attack of the Human Pus. But Irene was not so lucky.
She was not as fast or strong as Feng who possessed the Eye of God, so she could only hold up her sword with both hands to block.
Fortunately, the broadsword was tough enough, and the huge halberd only splashed violent sparks when hitting the broadsword, but did not break it.
But the remaining strength of the human body was transmitted to Irene through the sword, causing her to fly out, and the broadsword in Irene's hand was almost dropped.
"Ahem!" Irene felt the sweetness in her mouth. Without thinking too much, she stood up again and confronted the human pus.
Suddenly, she felt a suction force coming from the broadsword in her hand.
[Battle skills?] Irene thought of the book that Yu Jin gave her, which contained an introduction to battle skills.
Irene released her restraints and let the broadsword absorb her mental power. Then, she felt her body being pulled by the small straight sword in her hand.
I saw a fierce flame burning on Irene's left hand. She waved her left hand and a fan of fire burned towards the pus of the person fighting with Feng.
At the same time, she stepped forward, only one step behind the fire fan. Irene swung out with a swift sweep, and the broadsword reached into the fire fan, and flames ignited on the sword!
Flame Strike - A combat technique that releases flames in a large area forward. After launching, it can be followed by a heavy attack, and it can step forward, sweep the attack, and wrap the weapon with flames.
"Ah——" a piercing cry was heard. As soon as the flames touched the dark, wriggling body of the human pus, they quickly burned all over its body.
But it wasn't over yet, Irene's sweep followed closely, the flaming sword piercing into the body of the Human Pus, causing it to burn from the inside out.
"Good opportunity!" Feng saw the Human Pus begin to twitch. He activated the Eye of God, and the rich elemental power gathered on his blade, dyeing the white blade purple.
This is his improved elemental burst, with more concentrated power, faster speed and shorter charging time!
