Chapter 1422: Chapter 883: Subjugation of Little Londo’s Four Kings (Part 2)

The Fran Guards uniformly drew their Holy Bells and Holy Marks, performing a myriad of synchronized actions. Along with these movements, glimmers of light flashed across their bodies, each color representing a different type of beneficial magic.

The speed at which they cast these beneficial magics was quick and skilled, possessing a certain aesthetic beauty reminiscent of a butcher deftly slicing meat—one glance was enough to see they were adept at stacking buffs.

Even Tusi found himself a bit dumbfounded, internally wondering if he could cast spells so swiftly.

This was the combat specialty of the Fran Guards; they pursued the ultimate burst power.

When the final glow of beneficial magic flashed over them, the Fran Guards took a dive into the black hole!

Tusi belatedly followed suit, various sinister winds brushing past as the light above drifted further and further away. Just as the darkness of the abyss was about to taint his body, the Wolf Ring on his finger emitted a faint white light, enveloping him and temporarily shielding him from the probes of the darkness.

He flipped his body to land gently using the Levitation Skill, which consumed less magic power—a technique honed through multiple expeditions against the Four Kings of Little Londo. An ordinary person would need the Flying Skill just to avoid a deadly fall.

However, when Tusi landed, he discovered the Fran Guards had arrived at the Abyss even before him.

He was even more puzzled to see them running toward the opposite side, each drawing a Fran Greatsword, their blades crackling with the electricity from the Thunder Oil.

"What are they doing over there?"

Just as this question popped into Tusi’s mind, alarm bells went off inside him, every cell in his body screaming that the greatest danger was descending!

Twisted limbs, pale skin.

Resplendent steel armor, tattered like moth-eaten blades.

The Boss Monster, carrying the name of the Four Kings of Little Londo, had already appeared. Even though only one was visible, it stirred the entire latent power of the abyss, with the darkness as far as the eye could see rejoicing and surging!

"I’ve seen it many times; I won’t be scared."

What made his eyes widen was that the place the Fran Guards charged toward was precisely where the Four Kings of Little Londo appeared!

"How are they able to predict this, and why can’t I?"

Simple! For the Fran Guards, who have a sense of smell as sharp as wolves, the strongest stench indicates where the monster is about to appear!

Even if it was their first time here, their movements and demeanor were completely different from those of newcomers, as if they saw themselves as the masters of this place, confidently brandishing sword edges in every direction toward the Four Kings of Little Londo!

Seeing this, Tusi quickly chimed in to apply the Wind Walking Technique to the group.

But before the green magical wind reached everyone, the Four Kings of Little Londo moved, raising a pit-ridden blade half-eaten by insects, swinging a wide horizontal slash toward the crowd without mercy.

Simultaneously, a member of the Fran Guard at the forefront also moved.

"Hya!"

Whether it was advanced prediction of the monster’s actions or pure combat instincts, his great sword collided with the weapon of the Four Kings of Little Londo at precisely the most favorable moment for applying force. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

In that instant, his white hair flared like burning fire, and his muscles swelled with the heat of blood, emitting a deep growl!

That Fran Guard managed to single-handedly intercept the attack of the Four Kings of Little Londo!

"What!?"

Tusi screamed in surprise. What had he just seen? The Fran Guard on the opposite side had blocked the attack?

In his group, it would take three to four people to possibly achieve that!

Not only did he block it, but this Fran Guard even attempted to counter the incoming force back against the blade, but failed. His attempt at overpowering the Boss Monster was unsurprisingly unsuccessful.

But in that brief moment of containment, the rest of the Fran Guards had already carried their great swords to the side of the Four Kings of Little Londo, ready to bring down their weapons upon the enemy.

I told you that the body of the Four Kings of Little Londo is shrouded in protective black aura; you have to use magic to chip away at it to cause effective damage!

Tusi was getting anxious watching this; he didn’t want to see the Fran Guards collectively get repelled by the protective aura and then struck down by a sweeping blow from the Four Kings of Little Londo. He had warned them, so why were they choosing this course?

Even with numerous beneficial magics applied to themselves, it’s impossible for their weapons to directly penetrate the protective aura—that thing is on a completely different level from melee to magic!

Just as the blades of the great swords were about to touch the Four Kings of Little Londo, a vaporous black mist, like an abyss, indeed appeared over them, possessing an immense power that could obstruct a tremendous force.

Common weapons striking this would feel like hacking at an indestructible wall, with the rebound force potentially causing the weapon to slip—a lethal mistake in high-tier combat.

At that moment, all the Fran Guards’ hair suddenly turned white, white flames fiercely burning and flowing!

Their hair had apparently been dyed, and the only reason for the dye to wear off was...

Activating the state of Burning Wolf Blood!

The aura of the Fran Guards abruptly surged, multiplied, amplified, and madly increased! A terrifying power far surpassing mere doubling was capable of slicing everything in their path to pieces!

In their regular state, they were considered elite among adventurers, but once the Wolf Blood ignited, they could even assume the role of Elite in the Sain Dungeon!

This was the confidence that the Fran Guards gained from frantically stacking beneficial magic and burning Wolf Blood; numerically, they were invincible!

"Boom—"

The metallic clash echoed instantly throughout the entire abyss.

The moment the Fran Greatsword touched the black mist, it felt a momentary pause, but this discordant sensation vanished under the blade in an instant.

Twelve great swords simultaneously thrust into the waist and abdomen of the Four Kings of Little Londo!

The steel armor that bloomed like an iron flower was pierced through like tofu by the tremendous power of the Fran Guard. The only harm they suffered was from the spikes on the armor piercing their skin.

The long blades pierced through the body of the Four Kings of Little Londo, the sword tips emerging from the other side—this was almost an execution-like slaughter!

"Careful, he can still move!"

Tusi’s shout of excitement mixed with worry quickly followed.

Excitement because it was his first time seeing the Four Kings of Little Londo take such severe damage, worry because monsters related to the abyss almost all possessed supernatural resilience. Such damage was fatal but couldn’t instantly kill the Four Kings of Little Londo.

As he feared, the Four Kings of Little Londo howled like a beast that had lost its reason, the blooming armor showing signs of exploding, planning to use the spikes to directly stab the Fran Guards to death.

But it was at this moment that the missing sword among the Fran Guards emerged.

"Thud."

Dal appeared from the shadows behind the Four Kings of Little Londo, stepping on the enemy’s back, the magic eliminating footstep sounds vanishing just in time.

"!"

The Four Kings of Little Londo instantly turned their head to glare at Dal.

But the turn caused their head to rotate over 360 degrees in mid-air.

Because their neck had been cleanly severed by the Artorias Greatsword!

"Pa!"

The pale head fell to the ground instantly.

Then, the massive body collapsed, powerless.
