Chapter 1747 - 1032: The Abyss Wanderer Has Invaded You

This was Artorias’s first battle against multiple adventurers.

Saying it like that makes it seem like he’s at a disadvantage? Let’s put it another way.

This was the adventurers’ first team fight against Artorias.

"Gollum...."

Seeing the familiar figure appear before them in the form of a Red Spirit, the adventurers present couldn’t help but move their throats and gulped heavily.

The memories of being brutally defeated by Artorias during their newbie days surged in their minds; back then, probably no one hadn’t been tricked into the Painting World to challenge the Wolf Knight and then got beaten up hard.

To the extent that the Abyss Wanderer had become a psychological shadow of sorts for quite a few adventurers.

Not to mention how the opponent looked even more brutal after turning into a Red Spirit.

It really makes it difficult to relax!

But calm down, calm down.

Maru clenched his palm and warned himself to calm down now, to analyze the current situation carefully. Don’t forget, we have five King’s Souls and countless Great Runes on our side. All in all, we’ve already defeated five King’s Soul holders.

The Four Knights Under King belong to Gwyn, and Gwyn’s state in the Initial Firestove wasn’t much different from other King’s Soul holders. The identity and status of King’s Soul holders feel more significant than the Four Knights Under King, let alone possessing a King’s Soul itself is a symbol of power, so....

So there’s nothing to be afraid of anymore, let’s go take Artorias’s head!

"Why is he invading us?" shouted the Magician in the group, expressing his deep confusion.

Unfortunately, no one among the adventurers present could answer his question because nobody knows either.

It was at this moment that Maru suddenly thought of something and looked up sharply.

"Wait, I remember Dal told me that the legendary Giant Wolf Shif and Artorias were comrades, and the Wolf Blood of the Fran Undead Team is inherited from Shif."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

"What I’m saying is, the little wolf we just injured might actually be the ancient Shif, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone first showed a sudden realization, then their mouths opened wide enough to fit several eggs.

"Did we just beat up the ancestor of the Fran Undead Team?"

"No big deal, none of their team are here."

Why does it suddenly seem like everyone’s tension has lessened?

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, a loud noise echoed from under Artorias’s feet, and when people looked, they saw him leaping high towards the sky, his spinning body swinging the pitch-black Great Sword in the air, the sharp blade slashing towards the nearest adventurer.

This move was a signature maneuver that all adventurers were familiar with, the Wolf Jump.

It turns out that using a jump chop at the start isn’t necessarily the wrong choice when fighting others. If your actual strength is as high as Artorias’s, capable of killing the person in front instantly, then whatever move you use is correct.

"!"

The adventurer at the front froze entirely; his excellent adventure skills made him lunge forward, but he seemed to be a step too slow.

If things continue without any intervention, his lower body might be smashed into pulp by the Great Sword right here and now.

Maru’s large hand drilled out from the shadow beneath him, grabbing onto the adventurer’s collar, and pulled sharply forward.

"Boom!!!"

A sound louder than from before reverberated behind the adventurer. The impact was as mighty as a lethal thunderbolt striking the earth below; everyone felt the tremor of the ground, those unsteady in balance might have collapsed on the ground then and there.

The adventurer who narrowly escaped the attack due to Maru’s help was trembling on the ground, crawling with hands and feet, desperately trying to escape the attack range.

Yet, unfortunately, he was still the closest lucky one to Artorias.

The latter turned, swinging his Great Sword towards the adventurer on the ground, no longer needing to look back to sense the chilling wind of death behind.

In this extremely critical situation, the Magicians had already fired massive Broom Stars at Artorias, several times larger than heads, the Luminous Stones instantly collided with the Great Sword, the stone shattered with a "Ping!" sound, slowing the blade’s descent.

At the same time, the adventurer rolled and crawled, using the Hound Step, a life-saving skill known among adventurers that once again proved its worth, promptly transforming into a puff of smoke appearing meters away.

Tami successfully rushed behind him at this moment. He had already smeared Thunder Oil on his Straight Sword at some point, the lightning-jumping blade fiercely struck Artorias’s waist, delivering a hacking feeling immediately felt but merely hitting the armor.

The adventurer’s attacks all landed at this point, from Maru’s Blood Slash, Chaos’s Illusion Magic, Magician’s Blast Crystal...

A variety of colorful attacks perfectly covered Artorias’s escape range, whatever happens, he was surely going to be hit by these moves.

"Buzz——"

Suddenly, a peculiar buzzing sound arose in the air, and the next moment, Artorias’s Barrier Shield unfolded a faint translucent barrier encasing him inside, the moment the barrier ascended it also generated a repulsive force, causing Tami closest to him to back up several steps.
