Firelink Shrine.

Hawkwood's refusal didn't make the Nameless Sun Knight angry; he sighed regretfully and then directly walked toward the nearby Firekeeper.

A little different from facing past embers.

This time, the Firekeeper stood up to greet the arrival of the Nameless Knight and even bowed voluntarily, softly saying, "Ash Lord."

"We have been waiting for you for a long time."

The Nameless Sun Knight slightly shook his head but didn't speak; he just kneeled down on one knee and extended a hand. The Firekeeper gently placed her hand on the Nameless Knight's forehead, and as wisps of white light emerged, a soul power began to awaken within the Nameless Knight's body. The aura he emitted grew stronger, even exuding strands of pale golden light.

The Nameless Sun Knight soon stood up again.

He took another look at the throne of the Firelink Shrine, said nothing, and directly turned around to leave.

However.

Just as he was leaving the Firelink Shrine, the Nameless Sun Knight slightly frowned as though sensing something. He turned and walked toward a nearby high tower.

Soon, a warrior with an unusual tachi appeared before him.

The man's expression was cold; his eyes watched the distant Sun Knight with vigilance, and he murmured, "Unburned Ash. This isn't where you should be."

After saying this, the warrior gripped his weapon, ready for battle.

Who are the Unburned Ashes?

They were all notable strong figures in history. Those slightly weaker didn't even qualify as kindling to burn, let alone the Sun Knight before him, who was likely a former Lord of Ash.

The Nameless Sun Knight walked straight ahead.

Seeing that the warrior did not move away, his face slightly changed. In a flash of cold light, he slashed directly at the Nameless Knight's head without a word.

Clang.

The clash of weapons sparked fireflies, with the Nameless Sun Knight standing unmoved while the warrior with the tachi retreated half a step. But he didn't give up and swiftly spun around to strike again, simultaneously moving to circle the Nameless Knight's right side. Yet, the Nameless Knight didn't turn around, effortlessly swinging his Great Sword as if he had eyes, once again forcing the warrior back.

Clang, clang, clang!

Feeling a bit impatient.

The Nameless Sun Knight's palm produced golden lightning, which gathered into a long spear that pierced the warrior's chest in an instant.

A faintly glowing soul appeared.

The Nameless Sun Knight reached out to crush the soul and continued toward the high tower ahead.

Soon.

A crypt appeared in his vision, and upon seeing everything inside, the Nameless Knight's pupils contracted. He stood silently for a while before slowly turning to leave.

It was all corpses inside.

A row of Firekeeper corpses, some had completely turned to bones, others seemed not long dead, still wear the intact Firekeeper attire.

The Nameless Knight's steps grew slightly heavier.

Yet his gaze remained steadfast as he walked outside, only pausing to deeply glance at the Firelink Shrine behind him before departing.

.........

One day quickly passed.

Su Ziyu followed Sister Fried in the wilderness for quite a while until a majestic city appeared in view.

It was a medieval-style city with towering walls and spire-topped towers, the walls still flickered with flames, and some warrior corpses lay scattered around.

"Is that Lothric Royal City?" Su Ziyu gazed at the distant city, which looked magnificent and epic. Even from afar, he could see some collapsed buildings, with a moat in front of the royal city, and the bridge connecting to it had already fallen, revealing vaguely a massive corpse buried in the ruins.

Dragon.

Another dead Flying Dragon.

This Flying Dragon appeared even larger, its spread wings estimated around forty or fifty meters, seemingly its corpse had caused the bridge to collapse.

"Ancient Flying Dragon," Sister Fried murmured.

She gazed at the distant Flying Dragon carcass and whispered, "Before I awakened, Lothric's royal city was already like this."

"A fierce war once broke out here."

"There are more Flying Dragon corpses inside."

Sister Fried pointed in a direction as she continued, "That is the Ancient Dragon Peak."

"One can only reach it through some special means."

"There's a well-preserved Immortal Ancient Dragon corpse there; when I first saw it, I was incredibly shocked. I didn't expect such massive creatures could still exist."

"The remains resemble a series of mountains."

Su Ziyu glanced in the direction Sister Fried pointed but saw only mists, unable to see anything else. Immortal Ancient Dragons once ruled during the Chaos Era. Before opening the Age of Fire, Gwyn slew all Immortal Ancient Dragons, leaving only the scaleless White Dragon—Heath, which was eventually used as kindling for the First Flame.
