Every Exile's Standard Ending Was Falling to Their Death

The Cleric Exile can run, but he can't roll or dodge; he can't even easily bend over.

Gong Qiying was merciful in this regard, not giving the Cleric Exile the Havel Ring, which could increase carrying capacity, and the Great Jar Warrior Amulet. Otherwise, Malu would now be watching a heavily armored, dual-wielding, heavy-armored man who could run and jump with ease and whose speed was no less than hers relentlessly chasing after her.

Because of their different training focuses, Leon can handle the Exile wielding a large sword on his own with relatively little difficulty, while Malu needs to cooperate with Te Er to restrain the Cleric Exile and dares not confront him head-on at all.

Those two Smelter Hammer, each bigger than a person, would inspire any thought of challenging them; if someone were to be hit by one, their head would be buried in their stomach.

In the beginner map, I encountered a monster with high stats, wielding two giant chicken legs. It was as strong as a monster, and I couldn't defeat it no matter how hard I tried.

Tactics were quickly devised. Delu used spells like [Mud Swamp Technique], [Vine Technique], and [Lightning Trap] to delay the Cleric Exile's movements. Te Er was responsible for restraining the enemy's actions and trying to break their armor with his blunt weapon. Malu waited at the edge, either attacking the gaps in the heavy armor or waiting for Te Er to break the enemy's armor.

This tactic was quite effective at first. Both the heavy armor and the two Smelter Hammer made the Cleric Exile's weight reach an astonishing number. After Delu cast several induction spells in succession, he successfully lured him into the range of the Mud Swamp Technique. The Mud Swamp Technique, which turned the ground into a muddy Swamp, was extremely effective on him, and he couldn't pull his legs out for a while.

This gave Te Er the opportunity to switch his weapon to Spiked Club, and with a roar, he transformed into a green-skinned creature, yelling "Waaaagh!" as he smashed it down on the opponent's head!

The heavy armor produced by Sion was indeed of excellent quality. The Spiked Club strike only caused a shallow dent on the surface, but the enormous kinetic energy must have been transmitted to the priest's head, causing his movements to come to a standstill once again.

Malu behind him, pulled out a poisoned dagger and stabbed it into the gaps in the heavy armor. The priest's body was unexpectedly slender, with a gap between him and the surface of the armor. These gaps were filled with cotton cloth and chainmail, so the dagger could not penetrate at all!

However, a qualified assassin must learn to consider things from multiple perspectives. The dagger in her hand is not a simple dagger, but an enchanted weapon. By injecting magic power, it can generate a magical blade that extends its attack range. The more magic power injected, the greater the power!

So, after the mage used at least four spells, the Warrior used his Berserk skill, and the assassin consumed a quarter of his mana reserves.

They finally managed to inflict a minor scratch on the body of the Cleric Exile.

"Thump!"

The priest turned around and kicked Malu, who hadn't even had time to draw her dagger, away, and then smashed the Smelter Hammer in his hand directly at Te Er!

"Mud Swamp Technique!"

Seeing that there was no way to dodge, Te Er's feet suddenly turned into an even muddier Swamp, and he was smashed into it by the blow!

Just as the priest was about to finish the job, the ground suddenly hardened. When he slammed down again, Te Er was nowhere to be seen; it seemed he had been moved away.

He looked up at Delu and realized that this was the man who had done it, so he rushed over.

"Oh no! Delu is in danger!"

Malu threw Flying Dagger at the priest, but couldn't attract his attention at all. In desperation, she glanced at Leon not far away and suddenly pulled something from his waist.

"Boss, can I borrow this place for a moment?"

"Wait a moment!"

She threw the Dung Pie at the priest, and with a "bang," the stench filled the air, and the juices even seeped into the gaps in the armor!

The priest silently turned around, and although he didn't say anything, his murderous aura was overwhelming, and he charged towards Malu like a runaway tank.

Hey, why does this guy suddenly seem even more violent? Is he really that angry?

Leon dodged the Exile Greatsword strike and said helplessly, "That's my specially made Dung Pie, with a lure spell added inside."

"Ah?"

Mary was taken aback. She had originally planned to rely on herself and Delu to pull together the priesthood, but this would...

Does that mean the priests will have to chase after her and beat her up?

Watching Malu being chased around by the Red Warm priests, Leon didn't know what expression to make, so he decided to deal with the Exile first before helping Malu.

The Exile Greatsword is a very popular weapon in Dark Souls 3, a great tool for beginners to start the game and easily hack your way through to the end.

However, when materialized into the dungeon, it's just an excellent weapon with a good feel and high quality. It can't compare to Backhand Sword with two shameless Weapon Skill, such as "Blind Spot Strike" or "Swift Slash". When Leon uses Swift Slash, the Exile can't even touch him.

Ultimately, it suffered from the limitations of its time. Its Weapon Skill, "Whirlwind Slash," was only mediocre. Even if its normal attack felt good, it could only be effective after hitting an enemy.

It should be popular among adventurers whose professions are characterized by great strength and the ability to fly through bricks, but only when fighting monsters.

If you want to fight against the current Sion PVP adventurers who use all sorts of bizarre tactics, then you can only hope for the best.

The surging sword energy continued to erupt, Leon would always appear behind the Exile. The opponent's armor was already very thick, but he would still be staggered by the sword energy that erupted from the Swift Slash, and his armor would become tattered.

Leon glanced at his equally badly worn Backhand Sword, took out a handful of Repair Light Powder and sprinkled it on it. The weapon was instantly restored to its original condition. After eating a broccoli with a stamina potion, he continued to recite his Weapon Skill to the enemy.

How should I put it? The idea that repeating a grade will lead to victory is certainly exciting at first, but after doing it for a while, life starts to feel boring.

The Exile swung his greatsword in vain, and before he fell, he finally caught Leon off guard and cleaved a large gash in his breastplate.

The Exile is dead, his body turned to ashes, leaving behind his Exile Greatsword, which appears to be the spoils of war.

"They actually let their guard down during the battle. Have I been living too comfortably lately?"

Leon was glad that he had made a special trip back to Farron Keep before entering the Road of Sacrifices, and put on the armor that was still barely wearable despite being melted by the fire, otherwise this knife would have ripped his chest open!

"Alright, hurry up Malu Malu!"

Turning around, Malu and the Cleric Exile were nowhere to be seen. Delu, who was doing his best to treat Te Er, who had suffered multiple fractures, raised his head when he heard Leon's voice, his eyes also filled with confusion.

In the blink of an eye, Malu and the enemy disappeared.

"Just be careful not to encounter any outrageous events."

Fortunately, the weight of the Cleric Exile leaves heavy footprints on the ground, and following the footprints will lead you to...

A very deep pit?

No, it can't be called a pit, because there's a ladder to climb, making it look like there's another space underground.

The magical aura left by Malu and the footprints of the Cleric Exile both disappeared here, one after the other.

The area around the large pit was covered with dense Fallen Leaves, and with the water covering it, it was impossible to see if there were no footprints nearby. It was also very deep, and if one accidentally fell in, there would be no chance of survival.

Rather than calling this a path to a new space, it's more accurate to say it's a trap deliberately set here!

"No way, Malu fell down?"

Leon didn't know what to say at this moment. Malu and the enemy's footsteps had all disappeared here, perhaps they had all fallen down?

If Malu fell in first, and the Cleric Exile fell in later...

Two Smelter Hammer and a suit of heavy armor fell from a great height and smashed into Malu. The scene was unimaginable!

"Delu, I'm going downstairs. Keep an eye on the surroundings!"

Delu gave him a reassuring gesture, and at the same time gave up on healing Te Er. The chicken leg that hit him was almost an instant kill. Even if he was barely saved, he wouldn't be able to fight. It would be better to let him revive at the campfire.

Why have the two enemies guarding this place suddenly become stronger?

As Leon climbed down the ladder, Delu used his Flight Spell to fly above the building guarded by the two Exile and used Eagle Eye Technique.

His gaze passed through the Fortress, through winding paths, and across a large open space that looked like it might be hiding Elite Monsters, until he saw an enormous church!

The area around the church was shrouded in dark clouds, giving off a profound and heavy feeling that made people reluctant to approach.

Despite exerting all their strength, they couldn't see any monsters along the way, only a few scattered ones wandering around. This seemed to be a special measure taken by the dungeon to prevent the use of Eagle Eye Technique.

"I see, I understand now."

When his eyes felt burning from exhaustion, he quickly withdrew his Eagle Eye Technique, muttering to himself as he performed eye exercises:

"The Road of Sacrifices and the Impaled Corpse Forest ends here. This is the only place suitable for newcomers to train. Pass through the buildings and you will enter a completely new area."

"Just looking at it makes me feel unwell. It must be an extremely dangerous place, unsuitable for ordinary people to enter. That's why there are two guards here whose strength far surpasses that of other monsters!"

In terms of combat strength alone, he felt that these two Exile combined could fight the Black Knight not far away, and the outcome was uncertain.

As he struggled to climb down the building, Leon also climbed up from underground.

"How is the situation?"

Leon shook his head. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He simply showed Delu a bloodstained Mercenary Twinblades, and Malu's fate was self-evident.

"What a pity. Should we go back to find them, or continue onward?"

"Before that, Delu, do me a favor," Leon patted the other on the shoulder, "Please give me a temporary Amnesia Spell, I don't want to remember that scene down there anymore."

"Ah?"

The scene in the pit was too horrific for even Leon to remember.

How can I describe it? Imagine you fill a balloon with red liquid, then try to pop it by stomping on it in a confined space.

That's what Malu looks like.

It seems Leon was right. Malu fell down first, followed by the Cleric Exile was chasing after her. And clearly, neither of them managed to grab the ladder.

Old Ma, she bore a weight that no one her age should have to bear.

There's another thing: the Cleric Exile left behind a Smelter Hammer after his death.

After discussing it, the two decided to give up, for a simple reason—they couldn't lift it.

How could someone carrying Smelter Hammer climb a ladder from a deep pit? Putting aside the physical strength required, could a rope ladder even withstand that? Flight Spell wouldn't work either, as it consumes magic power based on weight, which the current Delu can't afford.

I haven't seen anything else about the Smelter Hammer yet, except that it's very big and heavy, so let's give up on it.

Leon and Delu walked back for a while until they encountered Malu, who looked ashen-faced, and Te Er, who looked dejected. If you were crushed to death by something weighing over a thousand pounds, you probably wouldn't be laughing.

This back and forth took quite a bit of time. They also discovered some side paths they hadn't seen before and explored them further. By the time they passed through the building guarded by the two Exile and continued forward, two hours had passed, and it should have been dark outside.

Further in, there were noticeably more magicians wearing Big Hat. These small guys, dressed in very little clothing, became their best stress reliever. Compared to those heavily armored tin cans, the feeling of being cut to the bone was definitely the most enjoyable.

When the number of mage-type enemies increased, Leon felt that he might encounter magic-related elites, and it turned out that he was right.

In the large area of the last dilapidated building, they encountered a rather familiar enemy.

[The Crystallized Old Man]

"Oh my god, am I going to have to run around again?" Malu looked annoyed.

"We have to resolve this as soon as possible, before he escapes."

However, this Crystallized Old Man was quite different from the ones they had encountered at the magic academy.

Not only was the frequency of teleportation reduced significantly, but the spell power also decreased while the special effects turned purple, the meaning of which is unknown. In addition, the arena was much smaller than that of the magic academy, making the battle easier than expected.

The Crystallized Old Man in the magic academy uses C++, so this is standard C. After all, the boss of a 50-man raid can't be the same strength as the boss of a 10-man raid.

When designing the strength of monsters in dungeons, Gong Qiying no longer rigidly sets them according to their original strength; he may strengthen or weaken them.

The battle didn't last too long. The Crystallized Old Man's teleportation and clones were still a problem, causing some trouble for the people. In the end, they were helpless and lost their gold coins.

Once you obtain the Soul of the Crystallized Old Man, you can go to the Undead Legion bonfire to have Ludleth synthesize the soul.

A campfire appeared behind the battlefield of the Crystallized Old Man boss, and at that moment, the sound of bells came from afar, signaling that the dungeon was about to close.

"We'll have to wait until tomorrow to continue exploring the area ahead."

Leon stretched his aching arms and said, "Forget it, I'll just rest tomorrow."

I had a very fruitful day. Tomorrow I can sleep in a bit, organize the intelligence after I get up, and then continue exploring the dungeon the day after tomorrow.

"Boss," Malu suddenly looked at him with teary eyes, looking pitiful, "I'm so sad today, I want to eat something good."

"Okay, okay."

Leon smiled, and before the dungeon closed, the group teleported to the Catacombs of Carthus. Soon after, they reappeared in the Leyndell and found a restaurant to have a hearty meal.

As they were leaving to find a hotel to rest after a satisfying meal, a stranger suddenly approached them.

"You're Leon from the Bede City Strategy Team, right?"

The newcomer was a blond, handsome man similar to Leon, only he gave off a slightly greasy vibe.

"I'm Leon, what can I do for you?" Leon looked up at the man, making sure he didn't recognize him.

However, this unfamiliar young man gave off a very composed feeling, not in terms of personality, but in terms of competence.

The opponent was like a solid piece of steel, with all his strength tightly concentrated within his body, so much so that at first glance he would be mistaken for an ordinary person.

A strong person, without a doubt. Is he on par with Leon? No, he's a bit stronger.

"My name is Fingel, and I am also an adventurer. I recently heard about your deeds and have been wanting to come and see your face for a long time. Indeed, you are a handsome man."

Leon looked at the young man named Fingel, and his intuition told him that this man was not just there for a brief meeting.

Sure enough, Fingel pulled a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Your mother asked me to deliver this letter to you. I was originally going to find you at the guild, but I just happened to run into you here."

My mother? My mother has passed away. Oh, my stepmother.

Leon's expression immediately turned uninteresting, and he said, "Thank you, but what is your relationship with my family?"

"I received financial assistance from your father when I was just starting out, but we've had little contact in recent years, and our relationship hasn't been public, so it's normal that you don't know about it."

Fingel patted Leon on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, the letter has been delivered. My mission is complete. Goodbye."

Leon was about to say goodbye as well, but Fingel added before turning to leave:

"Thank you for your strategy. It allowed me and my teammates to become the third team to defeat Overlord Wolnir. Let's team up sometime in the future. I look forward to the day when you also reach the Gold rank."

The third to defeat the Overlord Wolnir?

Before I could ask any further questions, Fingel had vanished without a trace.

At this moment, Delu leaned over and said, "As far as I know, we were the first to defeat the Overlord, followed by Lu Lu Wo and her group, and as for the third..."

His expression showed some surprise as he said, "It's the Gold-level 'Hasavi' squad! Was that their captain, 'Flash' Fingel, just now?"

When the Overlord Strategy Guide was released, everyone thought that the Light Eagle Legion would be the third to defeat Overlord Wolnir. However, the truth is that the Light Eagle Legion has not yet defeated him.

Before them, several teams had already won, all of them were elites who came attracted by Sain's reputation, Iliphis and others, including the Hasawi Squad.

Speaking of which, the Hasawi Squad is considered low-key among the Gold-level teams. It is said that the entire team consists of only three people, and their appearances are unknown. Even when they complete important missions, they do not publicize them. No wonder no one recognizes them when they walk down the street.

"The eldest brother's father actually sponsored such a person?" Malu was also surprised.

Leon, however, didn't react much. He waved his hand, completely unconcerned about these matters. So what if he sponsored a Gold-level guild member? He was already strong enough to apply for a promotion from the guild.

Surely his dad can't hire a gold-level squad to beat him up, can he?

"Sizzle—"

He opened the letter from his stepmother on the spot. After he publicly beat his father and sister, he cut off contact with his family. He thought they would also hold a grudge against him, but he didn't expect to receive a letter.

What could it be? Curses? A request for his help? Or the least likely outcome: a reconciliation?

That incident caused a huge uproar back then, essentially making his elders lose face, and it's impossible for him to reconcile with his family.

When he finally saw the contents clearly, Leon fell into a long silence.

"What's wrong, boss?" Malu asked worriedly, but the other party simply shoved the letter into her hand and said, "Read it yourself."

Malu fell silent after reading the letter, then handed it to Delu. Delu's eyes widened, and he passed the letter to Te Er.

Te Er scratched his head and asked hesitantly:

"What do you mean, eldest brother, that your dad and sister both ran away from home?"
