"Poof."

The old hunter's body lay on the ground, and his head, tumbling in the grass, rested against a rock.

However, there was no pain or remorse on the old hunter's face at this moment, on the contrary, he had an expression of relief.

"Ah......... It's been so long........."

The old hunter opened his eyes and stared at the square in front of him.

"I'm finally ......... Relief from this nightmare......... Thank you......... Stranger. ”

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do."

Fang Zheng flicked his greatsword, sweeping away the blood stains on it. He looked at the old hunter in front of him again, and the old hunter smiled slightly.

"I can feel it......... Your soul......... Your blood......... Hopefully, you'll be able to put an end to this .........."

However, the old hunter did not finish his words, for his head and body had by this time turned into pieces of ash and disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, a bright red glow enveloped the entire flower circle.

Fang Zheng turned his head, only to see that the original silver-white moon had disappeared, replaced by a huge bright red blood moon. A dark shadow emerged from the Blood Moon and slowly fell.

It looked like a moving skeleton, with the upper body similar to that of a human, but a little larger. Its legs are very short, and behind its body, there are several tentacles that sway like tails. Not only that, but the monster's "hair" also rises upward, making it look like some kind of tentacle. And its face, too, is distorted, with nothing but five hollows that seem to represent the facial features.

"Come on......... Welcome to my dreamland......... Hunter......... I am the god of the moon, surrender to me, and you will receive eternal truth........."

A whisper sounded in Fang Zheng's ears, and at the same time, the monster fell to the ground and slowly stretched out its hands towards Fang Zheng.

"Come here, let's enter a new dream........."

The voice is so illusory and seductive, as if it is provoking the most instinctive desires in the depths of one's heart. But Fang Zheng stood there, motionless. He frowned, squinted his eyes, up and down, and carefully examined the monster in front of him.

“…………………”

Maybe Fang Zheng's reaction was a little unexpected, so that the monster didn't know what to do for a while. But at this time, I saw that the Fang Zheng eyes of the moon god staring at him became more and more weird, and he showed a look of surprise in disbelief, staring at the moon god like this, and then slowly spoke.........

“……… Eldredge? ”

“………？！”

Hearing the name come out of Fang Zheng's mouth, the moon god suddenly raised its head, and although its ugly face did not have any expression, its movements clearly showed its reaction. Seeing the moon god's reaction, Fang Zheng suddenly became furious.

"Damn it's you bastard! You're not dead yet? And you still came here to make waves?! ”

For Fang Zheng, Eldredge was not an unfamiliar name, because Fang Zheng had fought against him as early as in the world of Dark Souls. As a salary king, Eldredge can be said to be the most disgusting one for Fangzheng. The reason is simple, because he has a penchant for cannibalism!

Yes, Eldredge was once a cleric in Lothric, but his penchant for cannibalism ended up imprisoned in a secluded church. Not only that, but the king sent many priests to seal it away, but these priests were eventually corrupted by the power of the deep and dark abyss of Eldritch, and all of them were devoured.

And Eldritch has devoured too many living beings and gained a powerful dark power, so he is designated as the salary king to continue the first fire. Originally, his sinful life should have ended completely, but in that era when the flames were extinguished, Eldredge woke up again, and he still did not change his will, and colluded with Pope Salivan to devour the second son of the Sun King, the Shadow Sun Gwendrin.

And Eldredge's series of crazy actions are precisely because he has long foreseen that the flames will eventually be extinguished, and the fireless deep sea era is coming, in order to continue to survive in the deep sea age, he is so thirsty for power, trying to get himself through that long deep sea era by devouring the power of others.

However, it is a pity that in the world of dark souls, Aldredge did not have time to swallow Gwendrin completely, and was directly hacked to death by Fang Zheng and dragged to the throne as firewood. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was ......... This girl has actually resurrected and has lived until now?

In fact, when Fang Zheng left Maria's dream, he was vaguely aware that it was all likely related to Eldredge. Because after Fang Zheng absorbed the power of the Moonlight Greatsword held by the knight named Ludwig, he immediately discovered that this power came from the Shadow Sun——— which was the Sword of the Dark Moon Gwendrin.

Not only that, after absorbing the power of the Moonlight Greatsword, Fang Zheng also felt his connection with this dream——— that is to say, the Yanan dream he was in was actually shaped by this power. Considering that Gwendrin is the best at creating illusions, it is not entirely unreasonable that the dream world was shaped by Gwindlin's powers.

But if this world is the future of the dark soul world that Fang Zheng once experienced, and Gwendrin is dead, then who else will have his power?

There's only one answer!

That's Eldredge!

Originally, Fang Zheng had also suspected Yuer Shika, but when he killed the orphan Kos and watched the stupid Rom die, Fang Zheng already felt that something was wrong. Because he could feel that when these ancient god heirs and clans died, their power was silently devoured!

And this kind of disgusting thing of eating corpses is not something that Yuer Shika is naturally capable of, but Eldredge is skilled in doing this kind of thing, I don't know how many times!

"So, you're behind all this?"

The more Fang Zheng thought about it, the more certain he became, at first he thought that Byron Weiss was just killing when he dug up the ruins, but now Fang Zheng began to wonder if there was a shadow of this bastard behind all this. He knew that the Old Gods would do anything to find an heir, and if Byron Weiss studied and began to try to contact the Old Gods, he would call other abyssal creations to come here for rituals in order to keep the heirs.

And in the process, Eldredge can use "guidance" or "revelation" to let the hunters of the healing church fight against the old gods, and then he can take advantage of the opportunity to fish for the profit to devour the dead old gods and their remaining power of the gods!

The proof of this is that when Ludwig saw the great sword before, he said that the brilliance of the sword guided his path......... And according to Maria, Ludwig was a knight of the Holy Sword who healed the Church and had a high status. In addition to his own strong power, then he is in a high position, and he can definitely influence the decisions and orders of the healing church!

And if all this is planned by Eldritch behind this, then it can be said that the healing church is so dead!

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, the voice of the moon god was no longer the dreamy and calm it had before, replaced by anger and panic. Hearing the Moon God's inquiry, Fang Zheng clenched the big sword in his hand.

"Who am I? Eldredge, I'm afraid you have Alzheimer's disease, and even I forgot? ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Zheng clenched the big sword in his hand and swung it suddenly, and the next moment, a bright red fire suddenly appeared on the pitch-black big sword in his hand!

Seeing the burning flames, the moon god let out a frightened scream and retreated in embarrassment.

"No......... You, you can't ......... How could you possibly be here? Ember without fire! ”

"I'm here for you, big brother."

Looking at the panicked Moon God in front of him, Fang Zheng let out a hehe sneer.

"How did you become like this? What's the deal with these two little short legs? Do you have indigestion after eating Gwendelin? ”

"You brought it to me! Ember without fire! ”

At this moment, the moon god finally roared angrily.

"In order to survive, I even sacrificed the clone and soul that devoured Gwendrin, but at least, I can hope that the embers will last a little longer, but what have you done? You extinguished the flames! led to the early arrival of the deep sea age! And I had to rely on this tattered skeleton to survive! It just so happens that I've been trying to settle accounts with you! It's not the time of fire anymore! The flames have been extinguished, and now is the age of the deep sea, the age of the abyss! Your small flame is nothing but a candle in the wind! ”

"In that case, let's try it."

Looking at the moon god in front of him, Fang Zheng restrained his expression, and he suddenly swung the big sword in his hand, pointing at the enemy in front of him.

"I've got the stove ready for you, big brother, it's time to pass the fire."
