Prequel: With the Sun!
The underground prison of Ilusir, where the darkness and the corruption of living corpses are suffocating. The unextinguished fire cages on the walls did not provide much light, but were dim and deep.
Occasionally, a few living corpses that emit a dim soul light will suddenly reach out and scream as soon as you get closer! It's as if you have finally prayed for your salvation, and then you have exhausted your last life......
The only ones who can move freely but you are the cursed jailers, carrying the lamp of forbidden magic and wielding a smoking crimson iron. The scariest thing is their eyes that almost catch fire, and can drain your life without ignoring any delicate armor.
The prisoners in the prison are almost dead, and Lucky Ember finds a key in the hands of a corpse in a cell. In high spirits, he took the key and tried almost all the cell doors, only to find that only a barroof was opened!
Outside the iron window, down is the boundless abyss, and up there is no sky at all...... Ember could feel the desperation of the owner in front of the key, and it was difficult to fly. Probably this is just a little joke played by the boring jailers and these undead prisoners......
Lost Ember jumped down a gap in the corner of the wall and stumbled upon a giant snoozing. Its feet are densely packed with rotting rats, crawling around without being too disgusting.
Hey, in the iron window next to the wall, a familiar figure...... Ember hid his face and sighed, dear old onion fellow, unsurprisingly locked inside. Looks like we're going to have to deal with those damn rats.
The spell glove on Ember's left hand glowed blood-red, his lips whispering ancient incantations, and as he brushed the blade of his sword, the twisted flames from chaos clinging to it.
Rats are afraid of fire, but it's different if they are "outnumbered." His sinister and cunning nature is exposed, and he jumps up from behind Ember to bite off his head.
Ember's agile body can always avoid rats in a pinch, and each swing of the sword can set a filthy rat on fire, leaving their flesh charred and rolled.
The giant was awakened from his dream, and he lifted his feet to trample these rats scurrying around, whether they were on all fours or two!
Ember isn't easy to mess with, isn't it just to help him trim his feet......
"Uh-mm-oh! It's you, sorry, I'm thinking too much. But don't worry, I've been sitting here thinking about it for a long time, and it's almost time for things to be settled. ”
"But...... I'm afraid I'll need some more time. Need to have a key to get out...... But the key is outside, huh...... It's not easy to solve ......" Onion Knight Jack Baldo stumbled, and the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"I don't want to ...... either" Facing Ash's helpless eyes, Onion whispered aggrievedly.
"It's okay, I'll save you from there." Ember tried to slash through the bars with his sword, and found that the cells, though dilapidated, seemed to be blessed with a powerful protective barrier. It seems that the onion cannot be rescued by violence.
Ember made his way through the underground prison to what Onion calls the capital of sin, an underground kingdom where the giant Yum is the king.
From the story told by The Onion Knight, he and the giant Yum are comrades in life and death. As it was meant to be, one descended from an ancient conqueror, the other a dwarf human from Catalina, miraculously came together.
What I miss the most is that after the battle, I drank that glass of liquor with my old friends of the giants towards the sunset. You can imagine how big Yum's wine glass must be, but the bold onion will not feel sorry for his wine.
Yum is still a simple and honest guy, and he doesn't say anything about the girl he likes, and Onion finally gets him drunk (Onion is distressed) before he asks for some news. They discussed, and after the battle, they would help Yum go back to his hometown and confess......
But before they could triumph in battle, bad news came. That place was burned by the flames of sin, and almost all the people were not spared......
On that day, the giant lowered the giant shield in his hand...... Because he has lost the person who needs his protection...... He picked up the huge machete in both hands, just to get lost in the slaughter and forget everything. His military exploits are impressive, and his prestige has spread throughout the continent, and he is a well-deserved god of war in this era!
Yum, the god of war, returns to his homeland, where he decides to extinguish the fire of sinful karma and save the sinful capital. And the price is to become a fire, even if he is burdened with unreasonable rebuke and suspicion from the surviving people, even if he is just a puppet-like king.
He took the giant's natural enemy, the Storm Keeper. The greatsword that was able to kill him, one was given to those who did not trust him; One was given to his best friend, Onion Knight Jack Baldo.
Yum told Onion, "If one day, I don't remember you, then please come here with a sword and kill me." ”
……
Once again, Ember saves Onion, who gives him his most precious possession as a thank you - a "wedge-shaped stone disk" with divine powers that unlocks the weapon's greatest potential.
Ember with his mission, Onion with his promise. The giant on the throne, Yum, opened his red eyes and straightened up his fiery body.
"Yum, my old friend, Jack Bardol, the knight of Catalina, has come to fulfill his promise. May the Salary King be with the sun! The Onion Knight shouted the glory of the knight and rushed to the king of giants, Yum, who was dozens of times his size.
A veritable war machine, one can imagine Yum's machete that can crush an enemy in a single swing of the enemy, and the only enemy of his size is a god besides a dragon.
The Onion Knight's weak body was slapped on the stone pillar like an ant, and the stone pillar was broken in response. But his peculiar curved armor helped him stand up again and again.
Ember is agile, but the attack doesn't hurt Yum, and Yum doesn't even care about him, the jumping ant.
"Storm! The Power of Discipline! The Onion Knight shouted and swung his greatsword, unleashing a powerful slash from the blade wrapped around the Storm Enchantment. Yum's armor cracked under this force!
Ember's eyes lit up, it was the onion reminding him that only the Storm Keeper could hurt the giant Yum! And where is the sword that is given to the unbelievers? Ember swung his sword in the direction of the onion, and finally spotted the Storm Keeper in the pile of swords next to the throne.
Yum is unbeatable when he enters the state of the Salary King, and every slash makes the onion's defenses seem like nothing, and the huge impact continues to consume the last of his life...... And he still persisted, burning the power of his soul like a salary king.
"Storm (EX)! The Power of Discipline! With all his might, Ember finally swung the last sword......
Salary King Yum, please return to the throne.
"I always ask you to save my life. But...... Thank you! Thanks to you...... I can deliver on my promises. Alright, one last cheers. Onion sat down on the floor tiredly, unable to speak.
Ember shook his head and sat down, he could feel that his old friend had done his best for the day, and his soul was slowly weakening. There is nothing Ember can do either.
This time Onion took out an extra glass of wine, one for Ember, and one on the ground.
"May your courage and mission, and my old friend Yum."
"To your glory!"
——“Long may the sunshine! ”
