Blood Monarch Mohg

Fudolin was now unsure whether she was even normal anymore. Her consciousness seemed to exist in a liminal space between lucidity and dazedness, a feeling difficult to describe. On one hand, she felt that her actions of blindly rushing forward, ignoring her companions and even leaving them with the monsters she had provoked, were very wrong. But on the other hand, she felt that something about the building at the mountain peak was deeply attracting her. This inexplicable attraction propelled her forward, without stopping, heading straight towards the mountain. Before, no matter how harsh her thoughts or words were, her body had always obediently gone to help her companions, but this time she completely ignored Lu Lu Wo and the others who clearly needed help. There was a word that perfectly described her current state—bewitched. Thinking back carefully, it seemed that she started acting strangely after she came into contact with the Miquella's Water Lily, or rather, the Bewitching Branch. More accurately, everything changed after she heard the warm-toned blonde figure whispering in her ear behind her. What did she hear back then? What did that being say again? She couldn't remember, absolutely couldn't. But the thought of killing the Blood Monarch named "Mohg," hiding within the Blood Dynasty, suddenly flashed into her mind, almost like a driving force propelling her forward. "It's there, absolutely there." Fudolin stared at the cocoon so enormous it could completely envelop her, her breath carrying the scent of magma, the temperature around her suddenly rising. She stepped towards the giant cocoon, her feet treading on bricks gradually melting under the intense heat, even the air itself distorting and shifting. "Fudolin!" Lu Lu Wo's voice suddenly came from behind, but this didn't stop Fudolin. A series of hurried footsteps sounded as the Skyrim Strategy Team arrived somewhat disheveled at the top of the mountain. Before coming, they had fought a group of Platinum Child at the foot of the mountain, barely managing to escape and take the elevator to the summit. "Wait, there might be danger ahead!" Ta Mi shouted, reaching out to pull the other person back, but was suddenly scalded by the scorching air and quickly retreated. This retreat gave him a chance to examine the ruined building, finally revealing the giant cocoon. "What... is that?" It was an object that undoubtedly fit the definition of a cocoon. Like a giant egg woven from insect silk, it gave the impression of being easily torn apart, leading one to speculate that it must contain a "larva" transforming into its adult form. But strangely, the cocoon was torn. From the very center, a huge crack had split the cocoon in two! No larva fell out; instead, something unexpected appeared—a withered arm! The exposed arm pointed straight to the sky, looking utterly dried up, like a lifeless, immobile corpse. That arm looked every bit the part of a giant; even the forearm was much longer than Ta Mi's. If its owner were to stand up... Lu Lu Wo immediately thought of the Giant King Yhorm, whose size was perhaps similar. "What is this thing?!" she exclaimed. A grotesque ornament from the Blood Monarch? No, no, no, this thing couldn't possibly be a simple ornament. But the arm and the body hidden inside the cocoon didn't seem to be alive, nor did it resemble a pet. Moreover, this giant cocoon was placed in the very center of the deepest part of the entire building, its structure resembling Shrine in a church. Could it be...? Lu Lu Wo suddenly realized, clapping her hands. "This is some kind of symbol of the god worshipped by the Blood Monarch!" Judging from the countless pools of blood throughout the Blood Dynasty, Mohg's aesthetic sense was truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Placing such a thing in his palace didn't seem so incomprehensible. "Captain, is this the time to think about these things?" Bei Er Tuo suddenly patted her shoulder and pointed ahead, saying, "Fudolin has already gone in! Look at the mist rising from the entrance, it's clearly Fog Gate!" The appearance of Fog Gate is a symbol of the appearance of a boss-level monster beyond the elite level, and it also means that adventurers who enter are about to engage in a life-or-death battle with the boss, with nowhere to escape. To this day, no one has been able to break through the Fog Gate; no matter how powerful the force, it seems unable to shake it in the slightest. "Hiss," Lu Lu Wo gasped with a troubled expression, but finally steeled herself and walked towards the Fog Gate, saying, "Although she doesn't seem to be in good shape right now, we can't just leave her alone. What if she can't even use the Teleportation Crystal in her current state? Let's go!" After exchanging glances, the group took a deep breath, tossed each other some scrolls, potions, and the most classic Buff Magic, and then strode into the Fog Gate. Regardless of whether they knew the strength of the boss behind the gate, each time they passed through Fog Gate, it gave the adventurers a sense of ritual. It was a ritualistic feeling that kept people curious about the unknown, slightly fearful, a little excited, and even more so, full of fighting spirit! The sensation of passing through the Fog Gate rushed over, and a few seconds later, the Skyrim Strategy Team disappeared. After they left, a strange phenomenon occurred on the ground: golden summoning symbols emerged. ["Golden Needle Knight" Rita] The summoning symbol of an unknown figure lay there quietly, but this was not the end. More summoning symbols slowly appeared around it. ["Red Lion" Freya], ["Fallen Leaves" Dane], [Huriye]. "Has anything changed?" Passing through the Fog Gate and entering the deathmatch arena with the boss, Lu Lu Wo immediately entered combat mode, cautiously surveying her surroundings. Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt the atmosphere around her shifting towards a sense of oppression, and the Bloodflame burning on the ground twisted even more distortedly. She tried to touch the Bloodflame, only to find that the temperature was lower than ordinary flames, hardly harmful to her current physique. But the next second, she quickly withdrew, a look of lingering fear on her face. "Everyone, don't touch this thing! It can trigger a violent surge of blood within us, like blood that might burst out of our bodies at any moment!" On the other side, Fudolin had already strode towards the giant cocoon, the lava flowing from her hands seeming ready to unleash a powerful meteor volcano upon it at any moment. Perhaps sensing the threat, the giant cocoon, along with the entire scene, finally changed. "Boom!" The Bloodflame in front of Fudolin suddenly burst from the floor tiles, forming a low wall of fire like interwoven bushes in front of her. She immediately stopped in her tracks, after all, she, who relied on physical strength to fight, was extremely wary of such a thing. The surrounding Bloodflame erupted as if a stove had been turned on with gas, the towering Bloodflame twisting and dancing wildly in the air, staining the eternally dark sky crimson, an alluring yet deadly feeling irresistibly surging towards everyone. At the peak of this eerie and terrifying atmosphere, the arm extending from the giant cocoon, pointing towards the sky, suddenly bent and fell limply to the ground. "Drip, drip," dark blood beads emerged from the cocoon, dripping along the arc of the arm. The dripping speed increased, eventually forming a small stream of water; a pool of blood, commonplace outside but eerily ominous here, slowly took shape. The moment it formed, surging waves began to erupt from within, as if something was about to emerge. "What's in there!" The moment Lu Lu Wo uttered these words, Fudolin acted. She threw a powerful punch towards the pool of blood, sending magma carrying terrifying heat flying, its area perfectly concealing it. She intended to inflict a severe blow before anything within the pool could appear! However, the surrounding Bloodflame did not give her that chance. With an even more intense roar, the Bloodflame twisted and coalesced into amorphous humanoid shapes, howling as they lunged forward to block the lava. These humanoids looked exactly like the zombies that roamed the Blood Dynasty. They were like loyal subjects protecting their king! Seeing this Fudolin wanted to launch another attack, but it was too late. A black figure slowly rose from the pool of blood! It wore a black robe similar to that of the Blood Noble, but with added opulence, the very attire befitting a king. Even with his back to everyone, they could see his head covered in ferocious horns, his entire being like a demon. This was the king of the Blood Dynasty, the demigod carved on his amulet— Mohg! When he appeared, everyone felt an immense pressure, as if a divine beast had unleashed its special abilities. They had only felt this way with Radahn before; that figure was undoubtedly a demigod! And Shardbearer! "My Miquella." Mohg's voice was cold and sharp, the tone of a cunning and ambitious tyrant. But within this voice was a strange, infatuated emotion, softening inexplicably, even bordering on...obsessive? And his very first words left everyone bewildered. Miquella? That name sounded so familiar. Where had he heard it before? What was the relationship between the Blood Monarch and Miquella? Then something even more astonishing happened. Mohgwyn raised that withered hand, gracefully bent down, and placed a kiss on that parched skin! So, the one encased in the cocoon was Miquella!? At that moment Lu Lu Wo finally remembered why Mohg looked so familiar. He had appeared in the images of the Zane Dungeon, and when he appeared, he was holding a child whose features and gender were indistinct, but whose soft blond hair was enough to completely conceal the child! Having witnessed all sorts of bizarre events while roaming the Zane Dungeon, Lu Lu Wo couldn't help but have a sinister thought, "Could the child inside the cocoon be the one from the image?" "Is that Miquella?" "How did she grow so big!?" While she was pondering this strangely, Fudolin, the impatient character, had already jumped up, breaking through the barrier of Bloodflame, and threw a punch at Mohg. "Miquella, wait a moment." Even with the terrifying power and high temperature coming from behind, Mohg still exuded a unique elegance, his tone equally gentle, reminiscent of a refined gentleman. He gently lowered his hand, and his body, similar to the Ominous Demon, slowly turned around. For some reason, at the moment of his turn, people felt that his aura had changed, transforming from a gentleman to a king! "A distinguished guest has arrived." Suddenly, an excessively thick trident appeared in his hand, and with a swing of his hand, it collided fiercely with Fudolin's fist. The ground trembled instantly as the Bloodflame at the spear tip collided violently with the magma from the fist, sending crimson and scarlet swirling everywhere! Fudolin retreated, landing on the ground to catch her breath, staring intently at Mohg. She could sense that this guy's power actually surpassed her own! "Come and witness our magnificent dynasty!" The joyful king opened his arms, welcoming the visiting adventurers! Bloodflame shot into the night sky, turning the darkness completely crimson! "This guy... he's not even hurt?" The sharp-eyed Bei Er Tuo stared at Mohg's right hand, holding the spear, trying to find any signs of injury. But there was nothing. After exchanging a punch with Fudolin, he seemed completely unharmed. Not only was his arm perfectly still, but his clothes weren't even dirty. The phrase "slightly dirty hem" didn't even apply. "Is this really something we should be challenging?" Lu Lu Wo glanced back at her companions. Only five people in total! Five people against a demigod? And they're fighting someone who appeared in the images of the Zane Dungeon and is definitely not someone to mess with? Tell me, which guy who appeared in the Zane Dungeon images could be fought by five people? "Your Majesty, we meant no offense, it was just an accident." Lu Lu Wo was still thinking of trying to communicate with Mohg, after all, the politeness and elegance he had just displayed were worlds apart from the other leaders, and her successful communication with the Platinum Child had given Lu Lu Wo some confidence. However, before she could finish speaking, Fudolin transformed into a lava meteor and shot into the sky, then crashed down hard towards Mohg, like a human cannon. "Don't you dare start a war so quickly!!!" On Mohg's side, he glanced at Fudolin, then elegantly waved his hand forward. A crimson wave big enough to cover the entire area rushed over!
