"Why, why are there five Four Kings of Little Londo...."

"It's quite normal for the Four Demon Kings to have five members."

"What part of that is normal?"

Dal's old rant was blocked in his mouth, unable to spit it out. Everyone looked at this latest member of the Four Kings of Little Londo appearing on the battlefield and couldn't help but show an expression of "numbness."

The timing this guy chose was too perfect, just when everyone was out of energy.

What's this supposed to be, a little surprise left by the Sain Dungeon for everyone?

If this latest member of the Four Kings of Little Londo had the same combat power as the previous ones, it could cause a devastating blow to the Fran Guard, and this is no joke.

However, besides a strong desire to complain, no one showed any signs of panic on their faces.

They probably got used to the surprises the Sain Dungeon often throws, so seeing a scene like this only makes them want to gripe about it.

"In that case, there's only one thing to do," Dal picked up the Elf Ball in his hand and threw it forward. "We can only rely on our partners now."

The Elf Ball paused in mid-air, then opened up to release a high-spirited giant wolf.

The other Fran Guards did the same, releasing their partners, all of whom were giant wolf companions who shared Wolf Blood with them, totaling fourteen in number, matching the number of people one-to-one.

Each giant wolf carried a Great Sword suitable for them to wield as a weapon, clad in Beast-shaped Armor—armor acquired from the Elu cat forging masters in the forest region.

The unexpected appearance of the fifth King of Little Londo took everyone by surprise, and now they could do nothing but rely on the giant wolves for battle.

Of course, they felt regret about being careless, but they wouldn't break down and cry about it. Probably because of confidence in their own strength, knowing from this that the Four Kings of Little Londo are actually five or possibly even more, they would be fully prepared for the next challenge.

This experience will definitely be applied next time!

Basically, completely defeating the Four Kings of Little Londo and conquering these ruins is a sure thing; the only difference would be the amount of time spent.

"Awoooo—"

Dal's giant wolf howled skyward as the wolf pack responded in unison, then charged towards the Four Kings of Little Londo.

The Four Kings of Little Londo maintained their familiar tone, starting with seemingly ordinary slashes that are actually mixed with Abyssal corrosion and great force, and before each strike, they'd certainly execute a flash to deceive and change positions.

The Abyss beneath people's feet showed signs of reactivating with their appearance, yet astonishingly, the Abyss weapons only attacked the giant wolves, not sparing a glance at the "weak and old" lying on the ground.

The Four Kings of Little Londo and the wolf pack engaged in a fierce second round of battle.

"Perhaps, this is the last one."

Dal speculated, watching the Four Kings of Little Londo flash around like a ghost, making it hard for the wolf pack to catch up.

His speculation that this would be the only appearance was rooted in the fact that during such an intense battle, the opponent hasn't routinely summoned other members to help, which should have been happening in regular combat for group attacks.

It might be the case that the Four Kings of Little Londo were severely injured in the previous battle; another bold speculation is that they've reached their limit?

If so, then why not make the combat style even bolder!

"Star Eyes, use Iron Tail!"

Dal shouted the name of his partner, the giant wolf, and something magical happened.

The giant wolf leapt into the air, spinning its body, and at that moment, its tail transformed into a steel-like texture, viciously smashing towards the Four Kings of Little Londo below!

This is a skill possessed by Pokemon from the gourmet area, but why can the giant wolf use it!?

The Four Kings of Little Londo vanished from their position before being hit, and the Iron Tail struck the ground, causing the already surging Abyss to shatter explosively, demonstrating its immense power.

"One-eyed, it's your turn now, use Electric Flash!"

Another Fran Guard's giant wolf burst out with tremendous speed in an instant, just as the enemy reappeared, thrusting its iron-plated head against the lightly armored waist. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Four Kings of Little Londo jolted upon impact, but the consequence of Electric Flash's speed boosting was a significant reduction in power; it's hard to say whether the headbutt's damage exceeded the self-inflicted concussion.

Other giant wolves seized the short gap the enemy was pushed into, briskly charging in with enthusiasm and fighting spirit likely higher than the Fran Guards themselves.

Among these giant wolves, none learned another Pokemon skill.

The other two skill-using giant wolves seemed to know only this move, relying purely on claws, teeth, and weapons for combat.

But managing to create an unexpected momentary pause in the Four Kings of Little Londo using skills made learning these skills worthwhile.

Dal observed the scene and couldn't help recalling related memories.

The Fran Guards' giant wolves started learning skills from the gourmet region last month, utilizing a mysterious object called the Move Tutor Device.

According to Roger, the top researcher in the gourmet area, the creatures called Pokemon living in the gourmet area can use this magical tool to learn more abilities, just like Magicians learning diverse Magic from Magic Book Pages.

And when Roger was training Pokemon, he suddenly thought, could creatures outside the Dungeon learn through Move Tutor Devices?

If he could make his Curse Frog learn Tailwind, wouldn't he be able to blow the Curse Death Poison Fog over a larger area? Just imagining that scene is exhilarating!

However, Roger conducted numerous experiments and couldn't find any creature capable of using Move Tutor Devices, and in the end, he was about to give up.

By chance, he encountered the Fran Guard's giant wolf and successfully made it learn Electric Flash and Iron Tail.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough result; non-Dungeon creatures being able to use Move Tutor Devices will inject new Life Force into the Trainer profession and even promote its vigorous development!

But there is still an unsolved mystery.

Why can only two giant wolves learn Pokemon moves while the remaining giant wolves cannot? Is there a special condition or are these two giant wolves exceptionally talented?

Roger, desperate to make the four-legged giant wolves learn moves like Air Blade, Flame Fist, Hypnotism, Destructive Death Light, is still baffled.

This confusion will surely trouble him for longer.

Before being attacked by the wolf pack, the Four Kings of Little Londo escaped using Flash, about to raise their hand to summon the Abyss to rush the wolves.

This move is not often used, but once used, it lasts a very long time, sufficient to drain the attacker's stamina substantially.

But suddenly, with a "crack," lightning erupted from the ground. It was the Thunder Spear trap set by Fran Guard on the ground taking effect.

The fierce current caused the Four Kings of Little Londo's body to tremble slightly, immediately interrupting their momentum in manipulating the Abyss.

"Star Eyes, continue using Iron Tail!"

Dal seized the opportunity and immediately shouted to his partner; he was also trying to get up from the ground, gradually supporting himself to stand.

There's hope; his body can still forcibly move!

He tightly grabbed the Artorias Greatsword beside him, but instead of using it himself, he threw it towards Little Londo's single eye.

The latter leapt up with a "woof," catching the Greatsword, immediately understanding Dal's intention due to its exceptional intelligence.

"Bang!"

Star Eyes' Iron Tail heavily slammed onto the Four Kings of Little Londo's head, with immense force and steel-like hardness causing their skull to sink down substantially.

The Abyss beneath the Four Kings of Little Londo erupted at this moment, transforming into countless spikes penetrating the giant wolf's body. The giant wolf let out a painful muffled groan, the armor beneath it faintly gleaming with glaring white light, as if something was about to burst out.

He seemed like a balloon about to burst, this abnormal state causing unprecedented sluggishness in his actions!

It seemed he was suppressing the white light emerging within, and he was about to succeed.

Unexpectedly, both the Fran Guard and the giant wolf realized this situation.

At this critical juncture, Little Londo's single eye, holding onto the Artorias Greatsword, collided with his front using Electric Flash. With a spinning jump, the sharp sword blade slashed a not-so-deep wound on his chest.

This kind of wound normally wouldn't greatly harm the Four Kings of Little Londo, but precisely now in their abnormal state.

At that moment, a vast amount of white light erupted uncontrollably from the wound, and the entire chest of the Four Kings of Little Londo exploded from the inside out!

"Aaahhhhh——"

This was the first time everyone heard the Four Kings of Little Londo make such an obvious emotional sound, full of pain and fear of death.

Fear of death!

"Ah!"

The once ruler of Little Londo's body exploded all over, the twisted form instantly turning into white light scattered across the sky!

Just as it exploded.

The oppression that shrouded everyone failed.

Even though the scene in front of them was still the dark Abyss, it brought an unparalleled sense of relief to everyone.

It was only then that Dal dared to confirm.

The Four Kings of Little Londo had truly vanished!

At the same time, an unprecedented giant soul suddenly appeared before everyone.
