Dragon Hunt!

As someone who prides himself on being an expert on everything in the Zane Dungeon, Hervey has naturally heard of the White Cult.

It is said that someone accidentally obtained the right to use a series of miracles related to the White Sect in the endless cycle of reincarnation. Although they did not learn them in the end, they still brought out a lot of information.

For example, the White Cult seems to be a religion with considerable influence in Rodland, whose main god is named Lloyd. However, this main god has never appeared in any of the images in the Zane Dungeon, making him quite mysterious.

For example, this church is always hunting undead, but people don't know why they are hunting. According to Hervey's guess, the undead in the Northern Undead Asylum might have been thrown in by the White Church.

Perhaps it's because the Dark Sign that gave birth to the Undead is considered a curse; religions love hunting down things that look like heresies, don't they?

Furthermore, it seems that the White Cult also has its own oath, and each oath-taker likes to help each other, but they don't seem to be so enthusiastic when it comes to outsiders. Also, no one knows what the benefits of making a White Cult oath are.

This is all the information available about the White Sect, which is considered very scarce by outsiders.

However, compared to many things in the Zane Dungeon that are only mentioned briefly in fragmented narratives, the information about the White Cult seems to be relatively abundant.

Although the extra content is not very useful anyway, I still don't understand the parts I don't understand.

According to Hervey.

Throughout history, new religions have emerged constantly, while old religions have been buried by the wheels of history like a polar dust storm. The White Religion is probably a typical example of those churches that failed to survive.

So there's nothing to care about anymore. It's not like it's related to Gwyn's church, so he's too lazy to investigate any further about the Whitebeard Church.

They were more concerned about what benefits this fat man who believed in the White Religion could bring them.

Petrus may not seem like a good person, but he's actually quite reliable. He told everyone the general location of the Painting World, which is at the junction of Undead Burg and Undead Parish outside the city. They would have to find out the exact location themselves.

This location conveniently aligns with Hervey's itinerary. Although they haven't seen what the Undead Parish Chief looks like yet, they figure they'll have to deal with the Red Wyvern first to get there, so it's convenient to go that way.

Speaking of which, Hervey also wondered if he could get some benefits from Petrus if he signed the White Cult Oath. Isn't that the usual practice?

Unfortunately, none of the Starfire Knight wanted to change their oath, not only because they had no feelings for the White Cult, but also because the oath of the Sun Warrior provided a boost to their current proficiency in skills such as the Thunder Spear.

If you were to exchange a vow for a reward that may not even exist, resulting in a weakened strength and ultimately death on the battlefield, that would truly be a completely unprofitable deal.

"It's quite surprising that the Zane Dungeon didn't make us take a long detour this time."

"Let's go, let's go. It's time to officially set off. I can't wait to take a bath in dragon blood."

Beware of parasites.

While joking with his teammates, Hervey said, "I mainly want to see if there are any Painting World related to the Sun Warrior. Anything from the White Sect, which is unknown, is fine."

Petrus had been watching them leave quietly, but Hervey's words suddenly made him retort loudly and seriously:

"The White Cult is the most powerful church, with influence throughout Rodland. What exactly are you—"

"Speaking of which, what should we eat tonight?"

"Let's see if we can get back to camp tonight before we think about what to eat. All you think about all day is food, and it's only morning!"

"."

However, Petrus's speech, which was full of defense of his beliefs, did not seem to be taken seriously by the Starfire Knight.

If the Zane Dungeon implemented a favorability system for the afterimage, I reckon this guy's favorability towards Hervey and the others would quickly drop to rock bottom.

Unfortunately, the Zane Dungeon wasn't implemented, so when Hervey and the others left the Firelink Shrine area, not only Petrus but also the Hui Xin Ge sitting to the side stopped all movement and stood still as if they had become motionless statues.

After the adventurers had gone further, the two figures simply turned into streaks of light and disappeared. It seemed that they would only reappear when people returned to this place.

This is energy conservation and environmental protection.

Not long after, Hervey and his group ventured deeper into the Undead Burg, where they battled wits and courage against monsters that could appear at any moment in the complex terrain.

More accurately, it's mainly about fighting bravely, because adventurers can never find all the places where monsters appear. There will always be a few monsters hiding in blind spots and corners that will suddenly rush out and give you a big scare.

Moreover, it seems that the Zane Dungeon knows that the appearance of these monsters will definitely scare people, so every time these insidious monsters peek out, they will howl in a strange way, making people think of Yharnam in an instant.

It must have been intentional! The monster design in the Zane Dungeon must have been intentional!

If Saine were alive, he would probably chuckle slyly when he saw the adventurer startled!

The above are the angry statements made by the Starfire Knight after being terrified by monsters to the point of near cardiac arrest on several occasions.

Sometimes, in an effort to demonstrate their professionalism, people deliberately search for monsters in tricky places. However, the Zane Dungeon does the opposite, hiding the monsters in simple and straightforward locations.

The result was that people were once again taken aback, making it a true battle of wits!

"Take a short rest, Hervey, my heart is hurting a little."

"Me too, a little bit too."

Some people are already showing signs of not being able to hold on!

No matter what, even though it's already quite strong, a person is still made of flesh and blood, and will show symptoms of maladaptation when frightened.

"Stop resting, we're about to do something big." Hervey slashed the Choking Dragon Fang at the two men who were trying to rest, and the two muscular men, who were now full of energy, jumped up immediately.

Just then, a roar that resounded through the sky rang out.

The crimson dragon sensed their approach.

There seem to be many paths to the Wyvern Bridge —they simply call this bridge, which is occupied by dragons, the Wyvern Bridge —and the terrain of the Zane Dungeon will be slightly adjusted, but the map logic will remain unchanged. The Starfire Knight are strictly following the path they took when they entered this place last time.

A road extends from the side of the Wyvern Bridge and is hidden inside the Undead Town. It is actually a dilapidated staircase that you can climb up.

There is a staircase on the bridge that leads to the interior, but to get there, one must first go up the bridge and run across while braving the Dragon Flame, which is unacceptable for everyone's plan.

Logically speaking, since there are roads leading to the inside of the bridge, there should also be roads in Undead Town that connect to the inside of the bridge. With this in mind, people searched for a long time in Undead Town before finally finding a road leading to the inside of the bridge, but in the end, to be on the safe side, they took the Old Road.

"Remember, we'll sneak up to the bridge first, use our combined lightning spears to blast the dragon's drums and weaken them, then retreat quickly. In short, we can't stay near the bridge or in the middle, lest we fall down with it like last time when the bridge collapsed."

"But what if that dragon holds a grudge? What if it remembers our last attack?"

"Generally speaking, the memories of dungeon monsters don't last until the next day. What we need to do is be quick, accurate, and ruthless. The Dragon Roar just now means that the enemy has already noticed us, but they will never guess our actions. Everyone, let's finish this quickly!"

"Good!"

Without further delay, the group rushed towards the edge of the bridge, each wielding a thunderous spear that had already materialized as they ran!

Sunlight streamed through the not-so-wide bridge arch, and Hervey was the first to rush out, raising his Great Lightning Spear high and shouting, "Everyone, throw your lightning at me!"

Then several lightning spears merged into his Great Lightning Spear, and he suddenly stepped out of the bridge arch and turned around towards the place where the flying dragon was in his memory!

His posture was as heroic as a legend!

The instant I stepped out of the underpass!

The place where the dragon once stood was now empty.

"Um?"

Hervey's throwing motion suddenly stopped, and he even lurched forward because he almost couldn't stop.

Where is the dragon?

What about me, such a big dragon?

I just Aura Perception and it stayed there obediently.

Before his questions could continue to fester, a hot breath suddenly came from behind him.

Yes, behind him, the shadow of a colossal creature was cast at that moment.

The Starfire Knight who hadn't yet run out of the bridge arch gasped in alarm, and Hervey broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that a terrifying monster must be lurking behind him at that very moment.

The other side anticipated their prediction!

As we all know, if you feel a furry claw on your shoulder while walking at night, it is most likely a monster that is about to attack you. If you stay still and don't turn around, you might be able to delay the monster attack until it begins.

So Hervey didn't turn around.

He threw the Great Lightning Spear behind him with a backhand motion!

At the same time, raging flames rushed from behind, and the dragon did not follow the usual strategy of not moving when the enemy does not move.

"Boom!!!"

Flames and lightning collided beneath the bridge, exploding into dazzling fire and lightning, accompanied by the shouts of the Starfire Knight and the painful roars of the dragons!

The next moment, the seemingly sturdy bridge collapsed from the middle again, once again caused by the flying dragon's old trick!

However, this time there was no Starfire Knight falling along with the pebbles.

They appeared on the other side of the broken bridge, the side where the flying dragon had once entrenched itself!

"Raise your gun!"

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the Starfire Knight gripped the surging lightning tightly in his hand, his perfectly sculpted muscles poised to unleash their power, his golden spear pointing straight to the heavens.

A storm swirled in the sky, the roar of a dragon was deafening, and a huge dragon rose into the sky, looking down on everyone. It blocked out the sun, and the shadows it cast covered everyone but were then dispersed by lightning.

If this moment of confrontation were depicted, it would probably be worthy of being a legend even a hundred years from now, at least in terms of its fantastical quality!

Dragon Flame, seemingly capable of burning everything, surged towards the group. A giant shield composed of Choking Dragon Fang served as the first line of defense, while Dragon Scale and Dragon Flame clashed beneath the sky.

As the scales could no longer withstand the force and shattered, countless lightning spears burst forth from the fragments!

The indestructible lightning spear pierced through the Dragon Flame and struck the flying dragon's body. Even if the flying dragon tried to rise and dodge, it could not completely evade it.

All that could be heard was the roar of thunder and the wail of the dragon. The thunder spear successfully blasted open its seemingly indestructible scales!

The shattered scales flew everywhere, and the moment they came into contact with the Choking Dragon Fang, they were instantly assimilated and became part of the weapon.

The Thunder Spear Dragon Slayer was practically a recreation of the content from the Zane Dungeon, and even the simplified version thrilled the Starfire Knight who realized they were imitating Gwyn.

The lightning spear once again ripped through the sky and shot towards the flying dragon. This time, the flying dragon finally showed its speed, circling and hovering in the air several times to dodge the lightning. Finally, it sprayed a fireball of concentrated flames towards everyone!

Its eyes were not on the crowd, but on the Choking Dragon Fang. It had realized the threat of this thing and the limited number of scales. When the Choking Dragon Fang turned into a shield to block the fireball again, it would rush over and crush the remaining scales with the weight of its body!

Just as it came up with such a practical tactic, the Starfire Knight turned around and faced away from it.

No, it wasn't that it turned its back; it turned around and ran away!

Yes, they are now in the place where the dragon just occupied, with a series of buildings behind them and the Undead Parish connected to them!

There was even a bonfire!

The dragon panicked and swooped down toward the series of buildings. It couldn't let anyone infiltrate the Undead Parish, otherwise it wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.

"Boom!"

Just then, the sound of something exploding rang out, followed by a heavy pressure slamming onto the dragon's back, catching it off guard and causing it to crash onto the broken bridge.

It was a building, and its spire had been blown off by something, which then crashed down on it.

This is a trap!

Just as this thought popped into Feilong's mind, excited shouts rang out, and Starfire Knight wielding thunder spears sprang out like primitive men who had successfully hunted, raising their thunder spears to stab Feilong!

The dragon roared in fury. It wasn't yet reduced to a helpless foe; it could still fight and was determined to teach these bastards a lesson—

A cold, steely, and fairy-like aura emanated from above, an aura of unusual lethality to the dragon race, causing the dragon to involuntarily look towards its source.

All the items brought by the Starfire Knight for the special attack against the dragons were ready to be used.

When it raised its head, a barrage of attacks came crashing down on it.

"Awooo!!!"

The Starfire Knight who participated in this hunt obtained a massive amount of souls sufficient to level up.

Where the colossal object disappeared, white and purple lights were shimmering.
