Chapter 196: This game has defense counterattacks? Then, how can I lose?_1

After being killed by the Crab BOSS in two strikes, an automatic cutscene begins.

The Fading One, while unconscious from the fall down the cliff, faintly hears a voice of supreme gentleness.

"Finally found you.

...Don't worry, Torret, there's still hope."

Shortly after, Czcu sees a girl riding a mount that he can't quite tell is a horse or a donkey.

She jumps down from the saddle dressed in a gold-brown hooded robe.

She then walks over and squats beside the Fading One.

"This person will surely seek the Elden Ring...

Even if it means defying the Golden Rule."

After a short segment of seemingly meaningless dialogue, the cutscene ends.

The player now finds themselves in a spacious cave.

Ahead sits a white-glowing spirit-like being on a chair, as if beckoning the player to discover its secrets.

As Czcu controls the Fading One to approach, he realizes that this is the true tutorial.

Following the guide, he jumps into a large pit next to the spirit.
