Elder Blood Witcher 156 Another One?

The Giant holds up his almost unrecognisable armour, the previously brown and green armour with steel plating seems to be gone, replaced with this. The brown leather that previously made up the majority of the armour has been replaced with some kind of scales? It's hard to tell due to their Dark green colour and small size, they're flexible but still seem extremely strong, expecially with the black metal lining that Reima a.s.sumes in t.i.tanite running through them. The steel plating that had used to be on the shoulders, arms, wrist, chest and legs is no longer there, replaced by black metal. Reima glaces down at the legs and sees the same metal also plating it, along with small fine segments of chainmail reinforcing the skirt-like leg protection. All in all it looks similar but different, and Reima can already tell it's much, much stronger than his previous set.

He thanks Coaugh and starts equipping all the gear again, trying to see if anything is different... It isn't, which only shows the skill and craftsmans.h.i.+p of Coaugh.

Immediately after getting comfortable he has a s.h.i.+ning blue Great Sword thrust into his face, it seems Coaugh is just as excited as he is about his new weapon. Visually it doesn't look any different but he can tell as he grasps the handle that it's significantly more powerful, Coaugh sets up a heavily armoured dummy on the other side of the room before sitting back down at his forge to watch him. Reima lightly swings the blade which causes a bright blue wave to sever the lower body of the dummy... Nice.

Reima "Thank you my friend, I appreciate the work you've done."

Coaugh nods, "Am blacksmith, does make." before focusing back down on a piece of metal Reima swears he's been hammering since he first arrived... He vanishes and appears back in Firelink shrine, the place still empty, not even that big b.a.s.t.a.r.ds snoring would make it feel lively.

He walks towards the Undead burg and kills the wayward undead that'd found their way here before jumping off and onto the lower part of the bridge, which houses a certain annoying merchant.

Domnall "Aye, Siwmae you've returned... I hope it wasn't only for little ole me?"

Reima "No... I just wish to see your wares."

Domnall "Aye Siwmae, such a lonely existence is this... Oh well, here's what I've found so far." He starts laying various things on the ground, the things that draw Reima's attention is the Master key, Ornstein's armour and Smough's armour. He buys the first two but refuses to even touch Smough's, who knows what that fat piece of s.h.i.+t did while wearing it.

Reima transfers the souls to the merchant before quickly leaving.

Domnall "Aye! Siwmae!!! Visit me soon please?" he says half-jokingly, Reima only now realising that with Firelink shrine being empty, no one is around to purchase his wares. He chuckles as he hears the merchant calling from behind him. He vanishes and reappears in the tower that the Taurus demon jumps off early in his journey. Using the master key he unlocks the door and starts descending the tower, Reima only now realising how tall it actually is after a couple minutes of walking doing the spiralling staircase. When he does eventually reach the bottom he sees a familiar figure guarding the doorway that leads to the Darkroot basin, Havel starts sprinting up the stairs while preparing to slam the large Dragon tooth in his hand on Reima... He doesn't manage to though as Reima simply kicks him off the stairs and he falls heavily to the floor below, a loud impact sounds through the tower as his armour is very heavy. Feeling only pity and respect for the man Reima launches a barrage of Crystal Soul spears at him which proptly ends his life before he can get halfway back up the stairs. He doesn't forget to take Havel's ring as his opponent fades away.

Reima unlocks the door and steps into the dark gra.s.sy area known as Darkroot Basin... Even from here he can spot the ma.s.sive Hydra in the distance, in between them is a large amount of Crystal Golem's that'd somehow come here? He doesn't care why or how they got here and just start burning them alive with Pyromancies, the damp foliage around here being resistant enough to fire to allow him the privilege. He kills all the regular ones before spotting a Large Golden one hidden amongst some trees... A few Chaos fireb.a.l.l.s later and it drops down dead... Revealing a young woman. She looks up at him from the floor and her eyes widen, "Savior?"

...

Reima confusedly states "Err, you must be mistaking me for someone else."

Dusk "Nonsense, do you not recognise me Sir Ludvig? it is I, Dusk!"

...

Reima "Wait what? How do you know my name?" he asks, somehow more confused than before.

Dusk "You had told me after the harrowing defeat of the monster of the abyss, Ma.n.u.s. It seems fate has brought us together once more." She looks at him shyly, "Perhaps you have reconsidered my offer?"

...

Reima gets flashbacks to the random cliche accidental marriage acceptance, "Yeah... f.u.c.k this." He grabs her by the scruff of her neck, she doesn't struggle surprisingly and they teleport from the Basin into a familiar cave.

Quelaag, "Your back! Did you slay Seath?" she asks, only noticing the peculiarly dressed woman behind him.

Reima "Yes, but I don't really have the time or patience to muddle my way through this... So, I'll drop her on you instead." He says gently pushes Dusk onto Quelaag, he notes her horrified expression before giving an aggravating smirk, "Ciao!" he disappears immediately after, leaving a confused group behind.

Quelaag just looks at the pale fearful Dusk and sighs, "So another one huh? What is your name?"

Dusk tries to remain composed but only manages to stutter out, "D-Dusk, Princess of O-Oolacile."
