Longing Is the Furthest Thing from Understanding

There will never be a shortage of people who admire celebrities in any era.

As one self-proclaimed "Hairspray Hand" once said, "Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding." Furious Rajang fans add many halos to their idols, merging the qualities they display with their own imaginations, regarding them as the most perfect beings in their hearts, and even obeying them blindly as if they were Brain Control.

The Light Eagle Legion can be seen as a large Iliphis fan club, with all members Iliphis as their idol.

Regardless of Iliphis used, the mercenaries were even Furious Rajang in their admiration for him than if they were under a spell.

But today, the first person to demystify him has emerged.

Elsa's mind began to race with a variety of ideas, including but not limited to:

Why should I feel guilty towards Iliphis when it's perfectly normal for me to come and repair weapons?

We are indeed grateful to Iliphis taking us in, but I have already repaid his kindness by Execute so many enemies and capturing a fortress.

Why should I make myself look like a slave?

Once you demystify your idol, all sorts of thoughts you would never have thought of before will suddenly appear in your mind.

So much so that she stopped eating, and the golden egg yolk dripped down the breadsticks onto the table.

Everyone noticed her unusual behavior, but assumed it was because she was moved by the delicious food.

Even after being demystified, Elsa wouldn't have thought so much before, but her recent experiences have made her more and more accustomed to thinking things through and making her own decisions.

For the latter part of the meal, she silently ate the Happiny in small bites, but since she was the type of person who didn't talk much, no one found it strange.

"Alright, I'm full. Now that we've tidied up, I can finally rest!"

Ta Mi slumped in her chair, making satisfied noises; only delicious food could cure fatigue.

At first, people felt that it was a bit incongruous to put a Gourmet Area into a bunch of underworld maps in the Zane Dungeon, but now they feel that it is the dungeon's mercy on them.

Without these delicious foods that bring happiness, a considerable number of people would probably have given up long ago.

Lu Lu Wo licked the last bit of cocoa sauce from the corner of her mouth and said, "Get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, no, the next few days will be tough."

Her meaning was clear: starting tomorrow, they would be fighting to the death against the Overlord Wolnir!

Lu Lu Wo glanced at Elsa, who was staring blankly at the empty eggshell, and then quietly nudged Ta Mi with her elbow, giving him a meaningful look.

"Oh? Oh, what are your plans, Gers? This must be your first time in the Lake District. I can help you find a place to stay," Ta Mi quickly said, realizing what she meant.

The sudden question brought Elsa back to her senses. She looked at the people in front of her, and everyone was looking at her with concern. They were such a kind group of people.

Are you going to challenge Overlord Wolnir tomorrow?

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Could you... take me with you?"

This question was indeed unexpected.

To be fair, Elsa is indeed very strong in combat, and any team would need someone like her.

However, her identity is a little bit sensitive to the Skyrim Strategy Team.

"Captain." Bei Er Tuo looked at Lu Lu Wo with a serious expression, and the others had similar expressions that suggested a team meeting was needed.

However, Lu Lu Wo nodded directly and said with a smile, "Okay, welcome, welcome."

"Team leader!"

Faced with Bei Er Tuo's scream, Lu Lu Wo waved her hand with a "no need to worry" look on her face, and then pulled out a scroll from somewhere.

"I personally welcome you, but your identity is still somewhat sensitive, so for the sake of both of us, how about we sign a contract?"

She opened the magic scroll, which contained ancient contract magic. If the contract holder violated the rules, they would be punished by heaven.

"So, until we successfully defeat Overlord Wolnir, you can't reveal any information to the Light Eagle Legion, okay?"

Anyway, they'll publish their strategy after they defeat the Overlord, and then the whole world will know.

"."

Elsa nodded.

And so it was decided happily; Elsa temporarily joined the team.

Soon after, through Lu Lu Wo's introduction, she settled into an inn built by adventurers. She would go to find Andre the next day to retrieve the repaired greatsword, after which she could set off to defeat the Overlord.

Lying on her brand-new bed, gazing at the undecorated ceiling, Elsa drifted into a daze, her thoughts drifting back to Iliphis.

This time, the image of the other person in his mind was normal. He recalled the image of the other person eagerly wanting to go and defeat the Overlord when he left the Light Eagle Legion that day.

I don't know why he was so eager to conquer the dungeon, but it shows how important defeating the Overlord was to Iliphis.

Although Elsa's feelings towards Iliphis changed subtly because of the Happiny, ultimately, the kind-hearted Elsa didn't think about it from a conspiracy perspective. She had a good time with the Light Eagle Legion, the Assault Team were friendly, Iliphis took good care of her, not acting like a bad person.

The Light Eagle Legion had begun to feel at home with her, and out of consideration for this relationship, she still wanted to help them in their efforts to win over the Overlord.

After helping the Skyrim Strategy Team, she can take the strategy back to tell Iliphis. This method will not harm the Skyrim Strategy Team's interests and will also help the Light Eagle Legion.

Elsa's lips curled up slightly as she imagined the praise she would receive after bringing the strategy back.

With this naive thought in mind, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Things were supposed to go as she had imagined.

If Iliphis had never entered the Zane Dungeon and had his defenses breached.

The next day, Elsa arrived at the blacksmith shop half a day earlier than scheduled, and sure enough, the blacksmith Andre had already repaired the weapon ahead of time.

After receiving the brand-new greatsword, she excitedly gave Andre a big hug.

A miraculous thing happened: when settling the repair costs (for the soul), Andre actually gave her a 10% discount!

Upon seeing this, the people around them became excited, their eyes gleaming as they rushed towards Andre, eager to give him a bear hug just for the discount.

However, anyone who rushed at him with impure thoughts was punched away; only genuine gratitude deserved a discount from Andre.

While searching for Lu Lu Wo and the others, Elsa saw Mei Erjia handing out flyers on the street. As soon as Melga saw her, she let out a "whoosh" and ran away.

"Shall we set off?"

At the campfire in Academy Gate Town, Lu Lu Wo held a basket of Cooked Shrimp she had bought from Rogue, and while eating, she handed a few to Elsa as lunch.

With the bonfires at Firelink Shrine and Catacombs of Carthus now able to link and teleport, the bonfire at the Academy Gate Town has also linked with Firelink Shrine, allowing for teleportation.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have personally visited these two places before you can activate the teleportation.

Elsa, carrying her greatsword, her slightly worn armor gleaming in the sunlight, nodded earnestly.

Because her armor exploded like a Kamen Rider after she ate the Glowing Dish yesterday, she had to temporarily go to Andre's blacksmith shop to buy a set of the starting knight outfit from Dark Souls, which conveniently used up all the souls she had "begged" from Mei Erjia.

After two teleportations, the group successfully arrived at the Catacombs of Carthus. Thanks to their exceptional memory and experience, they reached the Three Corpse Artificer Bonfire in almost no time.

It was only then that Elsa realized she was the only one in the group who hadn't Kindling Secret Ritual; everyone else had obtained the Element Bottle and mental enhancements at the campfire.

As she walked the familiar path once again, Elsa gripped her greatsword tightly, appearing somewhat nervous.

However, when she followed the others into the cave blocked by the abyss and saw the mighty body of Overlord Wolnir emerge from the darkness once again, she calmed down. Unbeknownst to her, fine red patterns reappeared on the greatsword.

As for the most crucial battle plan, Lu Lu Wo had already explained it to her on the way here.

"We deduced the truth from scattered descriptions of various equipment and weapons, and it was Leon from the Strategy Team who discovered the definitive evidence."

"The Overlord Wolnir was obsessed with studying the power of the abyss and wanted to become one of the gods. He Bloodlust Crucible Knight killed the clergy of various gods in Carthus."

"However, having underestimated the danger of the abyss, he was ultimately devoured by this power. His body transformed into an alien form and he was dragged into the abyss. At the critical moment, he survived by relying on Sacred Relic he had stolen from the murdered clergy, thus avoiding being completely swallowed by the abyss."

"Ah?"

When Elsa learned the truth, she was shocked and her hands trembled.

According to Lu Lu Wo, the reason why Overlord Wolnir only showed his upper body was because his lower body was swallowed by the abyss.

The abyss that was inseparable from him and even helped him in battle actually wanted to devour him!?

The Overlord's prostrate body wasn't meant to display demonic power and tyranny, but rather to cling to the ground and avoid being swallowed by the abyss!

Even Elsa realized just how explosive this news was!

It turns out that the invincible and domineering Wolnir they thought was actually quite tragic and pitiful.

However, she hadn't forgotten who broke her precious greatsword. Poor Wolnir? She should first consider whether she had the strength to do so. You might feel sorry for him, but he only wanted to devour you alive.

But Elsa quickly realized what Lu Lu Wo was really trying to say.

"You mean," Elsa said incredulously, her lips feeling dry, "That we don't need to defeat him, we just need to destroy the Sacred Relic?"

If the Sacred Relic is destroyed, Wolnir will be dragged away by the abyss.

"But, but what does the Sacred Relic look like?"

Lu Lu Wo smiled slyly.

"You guess?"

Back to the present, the moment Overlord Wolnir appeared, deathly miasma poured out of his mouth.

At that moment, Lu Lu Wo did something unexpected. She ran directly in front of the miasma to face them and then took out a Silver Shield!

That's right, it's the Silver Shield with the ultimate modified version of [Topus's Force Field] attached to it, and they actually managed to get another one!

Lu Lu Wo confidently raised her shield, facing the miasma of death.

As the miasma drew ever closer, but the shield remained unresponsive, a bead of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

When the miasma hit her face, she cursed, put away her shield, and quickly fled to the side.

It seems that Wolnir's version of the Death Miasma is not worth Silver Shield's reaction, but her idea is quite good. If she can successfully use the force field, she can cause the enemy to be greatly stunned.

Despite Lu Lu Wo's failed attempt, the group remained calm, as it aligned with their second plan.

According to information from others, the timing of Overlord Wolnir's death miasma attack varies depending on different conditions, namely, "Whether or not someone is within the range of the miasma's attack!"

If there is no one, he will immediately change his move after he finishes spitting out a mouthful. If there is someone, the duration of this move will be extended by a few seconds!

These few seconds are just enough time for the Greatsword to charge up his power.

Most importantly, when he spews miasma, Overlord Wolnir's hands will be on the ground!

"Mi La, Gers, let's move!"

At a command, the two Warriors, whose presence had been reduced by invisibility spells since entering the boss fight room, leaped high into the air, wielding a hammer and a greatsword, and launched an attack on Wolnir.

As for the target, it was of course the three sparkling bracelets on the other person's arm!
