Gwyndolin Lies Beyond the Fog Gate

The white Fog Gate represents a battle; while it may not necessarily be a boss, it's almost certain that an Elite Monsters will be inside.

"But why are we here?"

The adventurer was stunned and puzzled. One second he was marveling at the fact that he had actually seen the statue of the legendary Sunlight King Gwyn, but before he could even finish marveling, he found that the statue had disappeared after he touched it.

A classic hidden wall?

But who was the genius who came up with the idea of using a statue of Gwyn as a hidden wall? Did they think people wouldn't dare offend the gods?

I only ended up here because I was panicking and running away.

Wait, I was just running away!

With a "thud," the longsword pierced through his chest. Solaire executed him with a back attack, and the lifeless body Ghrū down the steps.

"How could I be so unlucky?"

If he were given another chance to make amends, he would definitely keep his hands under control and never attack anything that comes his way.

He really didn't mean to hit Solaire and the Brass Woman!

The bad news is that you've become enemies with Solaire.

The good news is that you managed to stand by the campfire for a moment before Solaire killed you.

Although standing there won't trigger effects like restoring stamina, it's essentially like "saving" your game here.

The Sun Warrior softened his stance and didn't attack the adventurer the moment he saw him; otherwise, the adventurer wouldn't even have had a chance to save his game.

When the adventurers respawned at the campfire, Solaire was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, he wouldn't be like the Hui Xin Ge, who would camp around the campfire and kill people.

He was utterly terrified. He peered around the doorway, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure Solaire was really gone. He then turned his gaze back to the Fog Gate.

"Everyone used to joke that if you wanted to prove you were a real man, you should go and open the unknown Fog Gate by yourself," he said as he walked down, taking deep breaths. He didn't know if he was excited or scared, probably a combination of both. "I never thought I would actually run into this."

This adventurer possesses a trait common to most adventurers: a desire to explore the unknown.

From the day they choose this profession, adventurers are destined to strive to explore the unknown!

They will venture into the fog of all that is unknown to humankind!

His steps were firm and powerful, showing no sign that he had just been killed, and his eyes were resolute.

Nothing can stop him, no matter what, nothing is possible—

Please stop here. This is the Gwyn's Tomb. No one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to defile this place.

The adventurer's steps came to an abrupt halt.

Oh no, he'd never seen anything like this before.

Just as he reached the white Fog Gate, a voice rang out, bringing his previously high spirits to a halt.

The neutral voice carried an irresistible majesty; its sheer presence was enough to overwhelm ordinary people. This adventurer had once met a high-ranking nobleman, who possessed an indescribable air of wealth and privilege. However, compared to the owner of this voice, the nobleman was no different from a boar.

Most importantly, the sound...

The adventurer's heart pounded. The voice sounded just like the one he had heard countless times at the Dark Moon Altar. The Blue Eye Orb in his arms trembled!

If you have no disrespect and are a faithful follower of the Dark Sun, then follow my words, Gwyndolin, and prostrate yourself here.

It's Gwyndolin's voice!

The adventurer finally remembered. No wonder the Fog Gate in front of him felt so familiar. It was the Fog Gate in the fixed images that the Dark Moon Blade Oathbearer saw when he offered his ear at the altar.

The Dark Moon Blade Oath is definitely the most immersive of all the oaths in the Zane Dungeon. When you offer oath items at the altar, you will receive praise from Gwyndolin. Even if you don't have enough oath items to redeem the rewards, you will still receive encouragement from him!

Although people may only hear a few fixed words, who can refuse a deity who has a completely positive attitude towards what you do?

Gwyndolin has now become a beacon of light for some love-starved adventurers, their one and only Hikari!

"Ghrū."

The adventurer heard himself swallow hard. He shakily reached out his hand, which meant that Lord Gwyndolin was behind the Fog Gate.

But the next second he slapped himself and knelt down on one knee as shown in the video.

What was I thinking? Trying to touch the Fog Gate and go inside? Didn't I hear Lord Gwyndolin say that this is Lord Gwyn's tomb? Since there's Fog Gate blocking the way, it means that he doesn't want anyone to go in and disturb it.

Despite their curiosity, the adventurer gritted their teeth and Endurance it.

Moreover, when he almost touched the Fog Gate just now, he had an extremely dangerous feeling, as if something terrible would happen if he actually went over and touched it.

[O followers of the Dark Sun, it is truly precious that you have come to hear my words.]

What Gwyndolin said was exactly the same as what the adventurers had heard at the Dark Moon Altar, but listening to it in person now was a completely different experience.

Normally, one would ask him if he wanted to join the Dark Moon Covenant at this point, but the other person suddenly realized that he was already the Dark Moon Blade, so his tone became slightly gentler.

Welcome back, Dark Moon Blade! If you desire my strength, I will surely lend a helping hand.

Yes, yes, that's the line, that's the feeling. Behind the Fog Gate is the real Lord Gwyndolin.

The adventurer had completely missed all opportunities to learn about Anor Londo along the way, so he had a deep question about why the gods were here guarding the tomb of Lord Gwyn.

But when he tried to ask, the only answer he received was the word "mission," and after the Fog Gate, there was no more sound when he asked any tricky questions.

I understand now. Asking the gods questions rashly was presumptuous of me and a sign of disrespect.

So the adventurer fell silent and stood there in front of the Fog Gate until Gwyndolin's voice came again.

Do not waste your time here. Go to Lord Gwyn's castle to accept your trial and fulfill your mission.

The adventurer didn't know what his mission or trial was, but he did know that Gwyndolin had given him a goal.

"I'll go right now!"

With unprecedented enthusiasm, he took firm steps toward the castle!

Then on the road, they encountered Solaire fighting the Giant Guards and were killed again.

Overall, the adventurer was lucky. Although he angered two phantoms who would have helped him, he made the right choice regarding the Fog Gate. Not going in was the best decision. Misfortune doesn't always befall the same person.

Gong Qiying never intended for adventurers to actually clash with Gwyndolin. This would allow adventurers to enter the Fog Gate and see the figure of "god," which would have many negative effects. For example, there would always be overconfident people who would repeatedly offend him and then go back to boast that they had fought with the god, which would infinitely lower the god's prestige.

One of the prerequisites for seeing Gwyndolin is to become the Dark Moon Blade, offer a sufficient number of ears at the Dark Moon Altar in exchange for the Dark Moon Priest Ring, and then come here to make Gwyn's statue disappear.

With so many criteria in place, anyone who gets to see the Fog Gate must be a seasoned Dark Moon Blade. But ultimately, it's impossible for all of these people to be die-hard fans of Gwyndolin like the adventurers from before.

People who dare to take risks, or rather, those who court death, will always exist.

Meanwhile, another adventurer who saw the Fog Gate hesitated for a long time in front of it, but finally gritted his teeth, tied an Image Stone to his forehead, ignored the warning coming from behind the Fog Gate, and resolutely chose to walk in!

Having witnessed the prowess of various Strategy Team, she now decided to experience firsthand what it felt like to be among the elite who obtained rare information first.

This time, the Fog Gate was exceptionally thick as she passed through Fog Gate.

It got dark.

Nothing could be seen; all that remained was darkness, except for the lingering white mist, as if one were in an empty universe.

A chilling sensation enveloped her entire body, and suddenly an image flashed into her mind.

The cold, dark moon hung in the sky, like a merciless judge.

She pinched her arm, forcing herself to come back to her senses, and looked in the direction her sense of direction indicated.

The next instant, a massive torrent of souls appeared before them!

There was absolutely no mourning for the adventurer's death; the next to appear was...

"Hiss, what did I just see?"

The adventurer revived by the campfire, her face full of confusion. Had she just been instantly killed by an irresistible, powerful attack?

Damn it, I didn't get to see what the scenery inside was like at all. If I had Topus's Force Field, would I have been able to deflect the magic attack from before? And if I had deflected it, would I have been able to see Gwyndolin's true face?

Her mind was racing. She was really persistent about what she wanted to do, and the methods she came up with were actually feasible to some extent, although the chances of her actually succeeding were a bit low.

For example, Topus's Force Field is very difficult to obtain. Not everyone can roll the dice after defeating the Crystallized Old Man or Red Wolf and get the golden Painting Fragment. In fact, you need to roll several fragments to get it.

Lost in thought as he strolled along, the adventurer's heels leaving the area where the building was located.

[The Dark Moon Blade has invaded our territory!!!]

"Ah?"

Just as she stepped out of the hall where the campfire was, an intrusion alert jolted her awake.

A deep blue spirit slowly took shape in front of him, and judging from its appearance, it was the Brass Woman he had encountered at the initial campfire.

It was at this moment that the adventurer snapped out of her mental trance and looked up at the sky. She was stunned by the sight before her and completely ignored the menacing Brass Woman.

To sum up what she saw in one sentence, it would be:

Her Anor Londo, it's dark.

The Dark Moon Covenant has been dissolved.
