Chapter 223: His Responsibility

It was a strange feeling that Orlan was facing this undead swordsman. The first is that it has a vague aura, as if it is deliberately obscured by something. Similar to an undead, but Orlan wasn't sure it was an undead.

From head to toe, it is full of the "death breath" that belongs to the deceased, and only the dead corpse, and the life that is about to die, will be infected with this breath, and the same is true for the undead. And this person seems to lack the "curse" that is unique to the undead. The reason why the undead can be resurrected after death is largely due to the power of this curse.

A dead man who is not cursed, a dead man who is jumping alive? Oran has already taken an interest in it.

It seemed to have found a new prey, and with its graceful and deadly claws, it approached Orlan like a cheetah. Why leopards? Orlan saw it hunting living corpses, dexterous, agile, and fierce. And the hunter's instincts had been telling him that he was dealing with a beast.

It moved, leaned forward, and after a moment's pause, burst out at an alarming speed, and Oran pulled out the golden rose behind it.

While! Dangdang...... While! The collision of swords was slightly dull, and Oran knew that this was due to the inferior iron sword in the opponent's hand not being sharp and solid enough, and the iron sword would break even after a few rounds. Then by that time it will definitely draw the long sword behind its back.

But then Oran frowned, because he didn't understand what kind of sword technique the other party was using because of so many swords. There are even sword skills that Orlan has not seen? No, there is no sword skill at all. The other party is really swinging and slashing like a beast, and each sword is the fastest speed, the strongest strength, and the most direct path.

Its strength is not weak at all, and it can even be comparable to the Black Knight it encountered not long ago.

Bang! A crack cracked. Inferior iron swords are no match for Astra's greatsword tempered by wedge-shaped stones. After losing its sword, it swooped back like a big cat, tiptoe to the ground, bent over.

Its cloak was too tightly wrapped, and it seemed to have a sack over its head, which was a strange outfit. But Orlan wasn't too surprised, he'd seen someone wrap their head in a mushroom......

Left hand, the man stretched out his left hand to support the ground, and his appearance became more like a beast. Oran's eyes were extremely good, so what caught his eye was a white palm, and the fingers were so slender that they didn't look like people with such explosive power at all, as if they were not human, but they were also not a living corpse.

The skin of a living corpse could not be so smooth and white...... So maybe it could be called her?

Before he had time to think about it, the man's right hand had already drawn the weapon behind his back, and when he looked closely, Orlan was a little surprised.

Black Knight Sword! So say it, or maybe she's a black knight? No, no, no, she's just the size of a normal human, so could she have killed a black knight to get this weapon? Probably there are black knights in the undead town, but it doesn't have to be.

"Hey, is it necessary for us to keep fighting?" Orlan was tentative, because he felt that she was a little angry. However, he was answered by a low growl.

Wait, that ring seems to be a little familiar, Orlan's previous attention was diverted by the Black Knight's sword, and now what "attracts" people's eyes more is the ring at the base of the man's left index finger, not an ordinary ring.

The "eyes" on the ring are full of evil intent, and Oran finally recognizes the ring called the "evil eye". In the ashes of the previous life, Oran also knew about the Ring of the Left and Right Eyes of the Pope, who was of the same origin.

Legend has it that the ambitious Pope Salivan once bestowed upon the knight of battle a ring that resembled an eyeball and possessed terrifying powers. The Ring follows its owner in a constant battle and kills, then devours the flesh and soul of the defeated to replenish its owner. The power of the Keeper will increase with the destruction of each living soul.

Perhaps this is the reliance of Saliwan and his knights in the world for a while, but it is only "for a while". Shaliwan's ambitions were quickly dashed with the negative effects of the ring.

Just imagine, when the knights who swung down gradually became stronger with the replenishment of the power of the ring, so strong that they lost their nature, and even turned into beasts that did not distinguish between the enemy and me, then this beast army would collapse without defeat.

The knight who wore the ring, the Bordeaux and the dancers that Oran knew, and the place where the elevator led down the path to the living sacrifice when he first met the onion guy, inside the walls of Lothric, in the Great Library...... They undoubtedly became powerful knights, and at the same time fell victim to these rings.

And even more powerful than the Pope's left eye, Oran got it from a mutated and ugly monster...... So can you guess what will happen if you wear such a ring?

At least Orlan took off the ring before his consciousness was occupied and eroded.

Maybe he should save this poor man who was manipulated by the ring, maybe it was because the other party's attack just now faintly left a lot of hands, and there was no intention of killing him. Orlan even believed that the other party had not attacked yet, and was completely giving him a chance to escape.

Orlan knew she must be in pain right now, for those who wore the Evil Eye Ring knew how terrible it was to be slaughtered and thirst for soul and blood, only to lose oneself even more.

The warning was ineffective, and the "beast" swung the Black Knight's sword and attacked. Orlan swung his sword to block, but the opponent's attack became unreasonable, savage and ferocious, and the long sword was swung in a haphazard and fierce way, not caring whether he would be hurt or not.

"If you are injured, then just kill, and the ring will make you never fall."

……

There is always a limit to power, even Pope Oran has been slashed by the sword, not to mention the failed product he created, and the prototype of the failed product.

In order to overcome brute force, he picked up the sword in her hand and kicked it away, and Orlan considered whether to cut off her hand directly, which might save her life.

But as the man's cloak broke and fell off in the heat of battle, Oran finally discovered what he didn't want to believe. The familiarity with this woman turned out not to be out of nowhere, but the ring and this outfit almost deceived him. Even though the other party was wearing a ridiculous rag hood, Orlan could still tell the truth from the pure white hair on her shoulder.

What kind of situation made her choose to wear the Evil Eye Ring? And what is the reason why she wants to hide who she is?

Orlan remembered the taunts of the Demoralized Warriors again, and lost them...... It's all his responsibility.
