The spectators outside the arena were filled with excitement!
For two hours, they had witnessed it all!
They had seen what chivalry was!
What courage was, the spirit of never giving up!
With her strength, Mo Zhi showed players what it meant to challenge the impossible!
"His spirit inspired wave after wave of Undead, who joined the fight against the Abyss with unwavering resolve."
Mo Zhi spoke with emotion,
"In the future, there will also be a group of great Undead, they are admirers of Lord Gwyn, and inheritors of his spirit. They heed Lord Gwyn's warning and remain vigilant against the spread of the Abyss, destroying entire nations without hesitation if they discover its traces."
Mo Zhi smoothly transitioned the narrative from Lord Gwyn's story to the current protagonist in the game—the Undead of Farron. She continued,
"In their swords, in their unique sword techniques, the shadow of Artorias is everywhere.
As the frontline defense against the Abyss, they never took a step back, advancing to the very front lines of the Abyss.
They are Undead, the lowest of the low in the Dark Souls world, yet they are willing to shoulder the most dangerous responsibilities.
Artorias, a demigod of Gwyn's lineage, still required the Wolf Ring and Silver Pendant to wander the Abyss.
These Undead, however, who bore the Dark Soul and were a breeding ground for the Abyss, swore an oath by the Wolf Blood and became watchers of the Abyss.
Yet, these Undead were not Artorias, and even Artorias himself could not escape the corrosion of the Abyss.
'When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.'
As watchers, the Undead, whose duty it was to monitor the Abyss, ultimately met their end.
In an age where the First Flame was fading, the Age of Fire drawing to a close, darkness was about to descend.
The Undead, who had sacrificed themselves for the world, inherited the mission to link the First Flame. Having qualified as Lords of Cinder through the Wolf Blood, they resolutely entered the Kiln of the First Flame, becoming fuel to prolong the flame.
When the bell tolled, the Undead who rose once more looked around to find the world engulfed in the Abyss.
Awakened from death, the Undead still bore the faint embers of their sacrifice, their pain and weakness not yet faded. Yet, they had not forgotten their mission. They resolutely left their thrones and marched towards the Abyss.
The Undead repelled the Abyss, as they had every time before, yet unlike any time before.
As Kassas was destroyed by the blade of the Wolf Blood, and the Undead advanced towards the tomb of the great overlord, the Abyss's red eyes finally appeared amongst the Undead.
Linking the Fire consumed bloodlines as fuel. After the Wolf Blood was burned, the Undead, though still immensely powerful, were unprecedentedly weakened.
The encroachment of the Abyss might not have been the first time within their ranks, but this time, the Undead could no longer quell it.
They were forced to halt at the entrance of the Great Tomb, constructing a sanctuary to guard the Abyss, and within it, they engaged in an endless battle.
Against the Abyss, and against themselves!"
As she said this,
Mo Zhi's eyes welled up with tears again.
This time, she was moved by the Undead. She thought of the soldiers who silently guarded the frontiers, they, like Lord Gwyn and the Undead, burned and sacrificed themselves for their homeland!
They were all the greatest people!
With their mighty bodies, they built the backbone of China!!
"Well said!"
"Damn it, my tears are falling!"
"Oh my god! You've given me goosebumps!"
"Weren't you a novelty streamer? How can your speeches be so moving? You've made me cry!"
"You're trying to make me cry, but I won't!"
"Your words reminded me of the lovely people in reality, they deserve our respect!"
"Not only is your perspective vast, but your awareness is also very high!"
"How high?"
......
In an instant, Mo Zhi's livestream was flooded with gifts again!
The viewers were deeply moved by Mo Zhi's words and expressed their respect through donations.
"When the Ashen One appeared in the Farron Woods, extinguished the three beacons, and opened the path to the Wolf Blood, they forged the covenant of the Wolf Blood."
Mo Zhi continued, "New members of the Undead Legion were born. As an Undead, the Ashen One finally arrived at the gates of the Farron Keep."
"Hearing the clash of blades, the Ashen One pushed open the gate."
Recalling everything she had experienced today, her eyes burned with fervor: "The Undead were silent. They welcomed the new member with the Undead Legion's etiquette, and tested them with flaming blades."
"Now, I am about to undergo the trial!"
Facing the members of the Undead Legion again, facing the Abyss Watchers, the Hollowed embodiment of Lords of Cinder wielding the Farron Greatsword.
Mo Zhi's mindset had changed.
No longer hesitant as before, she now regarded them as the most worthy opponents, completing their trial for her.
"New member of the Undead Legion, Mo Zhi, I humbly request your guidance!"
Boom!
The Lords of Cinder, embodying the Undead, did not hold back. They swung their flaming greatswords down, their surging sword aura triggering a secondary attack!
Swish!
Mo Zhi couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the fiery sword aura, instantly losing a fifth of her health!
A direct hit, followed by a relentless pursuit!
Their attacks were as swift as lightning, graceful and fluid.
A sweeping elbow strike followed by a five-meter firestorm!
Had it not been for the special training from Lord Gwyn, Mo Zhi would have been severely wounded again.
But there were no "ifs."
Having understood their attack patterns, Mo Zhi began to handle them with ease.
Whether it was their common three-swing left and right, followed by a 720-degree aerial spinning slash, or their reverse Thomas 360-degree grand spin.
These moves, which were lightning-fast in the first phase, now seemed like slow motion in Mo Zhi's eyes. She could always dodge them in time.
Because,
Lord Gwyn had used similar moves. Mo Zhi had been through countless hours of training; even if a pig rolled its keyboard, she could dodge it!
But this did not detract from the splendor and coolness of the battle.
Mo Zhi's effortless performance provided the spectators outside with an ultimate visual feast!
A magnificent duel filled with coolness and adolescent fantasy, like a splash of bright color on a thick canvas, the entire fortress was illuminated by this hue!
Even after the Abyss Watchers fell, the audience remained in awe.
They even forgot to clap and cheer.
[Acquired: Lord of Cinder's Embers]
[Acquired: Soul of the Wolf Blood]
"I hope you can find peace in your hearts,"
Mo Zhi looked at him as he rejoined the bodies of his comrades and murmured softly, "I will also inherit your will and continue to resist the encroachment of the Abyss."
With that,
She paid her respects to the bodies in the arena with the highest etiquette of the Farron Undead Legion.
'My blood is boiling, come on, Undead!'
'Grasp that sword, and then prove to me you are worthy to watch over the future—Farron Undead Legion!'
'Can you feel the state I'm in, laughing while crying?'
'Yes! Because I am too!'
'Boss: Farron Undead Legion. Cool appearance, reasonable difficulty, novel attack patterns, and a deep, touching story. In my opinion, this is the best boss battle!'
.......
The moment the Farron Undead Legion fell, after so much buildup, the atmosphere reached its peak!
Amidst the roaring cheers, Mo Zhi secretly returned to the Firelink Shrine to ask Ludleth to forge a Farron Greatsword with the Soul of the Wolf Blood.
She quietly donned the Undead Legion's attire, grasped the greatsword forged from the soul of the Wolf Blood's power, and stepped into the manifestation of the Abyss, the Catacombs of Kassas.
I will uphold your will and thoroughly cleanse these impurities!
Forever!
