Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 285 Touch the Dry Arm and Go to the Shadow Land
"This body shouldn't belong to Michaela."

Bai Shi looked at Leida, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Leida nodded and admitted it directly.

"Sure enough, none of this can be hidden from your eyes."

"During the Shattering War, Monger attacked the Holy Tree and abducted my master, Michaela."

"Later, Lady Michaela used a trick and managed to escape."

"Monger still hasn't figured it out and thinks this body belongs to Mistress Michaela."

"But even so, I must seek revenge on Monger for the Shattered War."

Bai Shi listened silently.

He didn't know how much of Leida's words he could believe.

Anyway, what she said here is definitely not the whole truth of the matter.

Bai Shi still doesn't know why Marlennia would go to Gailed to fight General Ratan and even trigger the Scarlet Corruption.

But I don't think Leida would tell all of this.

Bai Shi showed no emotion on his face and asked calmly:

"What does Michaela want to do?"

Leida looked at the arm that stretched out from the cocoon and spoke slowly:

“To create a better border.”

"To... create a world where all living things live in peace and love."

Bai Shi couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he heard this.

A world where all creatures live in peace and love...

This is what he has always hoped for and has always regarded this as his ultimate goal.

A long time ago, Bai Shi, who had just arrived at the border, once took the Holy Tree as an object of reference and imitation because of his impression of the Holy Tree in the game.

Bai Shi had always believed that Michaela's Holy Tree had made progress and was a system that could be used as a reference for study.

At that time, Bai Shi felt sorry for the fact that Michaela was murdered by Monger and the plan of the Holy Tree was forced to be shelved.

But with the appearance of Leida and others, he discovered the various unknown actions of Michaela hidden behind the progress of the entire border world.

Whether it was the Ionian War, or the anxiety of Marenia in Millicent's dream, or the false body in this cocoon now...

All this made Bai Shi begin to doubt Michaela's purpose.

Did he ultimately mean what he said?
It is possible that Michaela has always thought this way and has always done this.

But how exactly he wanted to do this has now become something that makes Bai Shi uneasy.

Better to pay more attention to it in the coming time.

Bai Shi pointed at the arm that stretched out from the cocoon and asked Leida:
"Where does that body lead to?"

With the help of the sensing attribute that breaks through the boundaries, Bai Shi was able to see that the arm was connected to some strange places.

It was a deep glow that he had never seen before.

It was dark, as if covered by a veil, but beneath that shadowy cover there was a brighter light.

This body definitely leads to some special place.

In the previous life, many people speculated that this arm was the entrance to the possible DLC.

This is indeed the case now. Bai Shi has discovered the special thing about it, but he just doesn't know where it leads to.

Leida smiled bitterly, she knew Bai Shi would ask this question.

"Excuse me, do you know the Shadow Land?"

When Bai Shi heard the word "shadow land" from Leida's mouth, his eyes narrowed.

He already knew that there used to be a piece of land in the center of the border, but it was now completely sealed.

I wonder if the shadow land that Leida mentioned is that place.

"Tell me about it carefully."

Leida silently began to talk about that unknown place:

"The Shadow Land... that is a land abandoned by God, a place forgotten by the Borderland."

"Something happened there that the world cannot know about, so it has been completely cut off from the border."

"And that false body has now become a passage connecting to the Shadow Land."

Leida took a deep breath, as if to muster up courage.

"Master Baishi, Master Mikaela wants you to go to the Shadow Land."

"He said there would be everything you wanted to know there."

"Come, touch that withered arm and go to the land of shadows."

When Leida said this, she still couldn't believe what Michaela had just said to her.
-
'Invite Baizhi to the Shadow Land.'

Actually inviting Bai Shi to go to the Shadow Land...

Leida strongly opposed this. This was the first time she had ever objected to Michaela's decision.

It is too risky for White Consciousness to travel to the Shadow Land.

He is very powerful, and letting him go there will lead to various variables.

Mistress Michaela was unwilling to even elaborate on what she wanted to do, and only vaguely communicated with her.

Once Baishi obstructs their actions, they will be unable to resist on their own.

But Michaela doesn't think so.

'Even if you stop him now, he won't be bothered by your words, but will feel strange instead.'

"If he really wanted to, he could easily figure out that I wasn't restricted by Monger."

'It would just be a few more corpses, but it still wouldn't stop him.'

'I don't want to have a conflict if I can.'

'Just invite him to the Shadowlands.'

Leida still didn't dare to accept this request and was struggling.

Seeing that Leida was so hesitant, Michaela comforted her gently.

'No need to worry.'

"Leida, I am grateful that you have always followed me, so please trust me."

Michaela then withdrew her consciousness and stopped communicating with Leida.

In the unknown shadow land, Michaela sighed.

In this border area, disputes will never stop.

He had clearly realized this in the sacred tree—the fertile and beautiful sacred tree in which he had placed great hopes.

Beliefs, interests, survival...all kinds of factors will ultimately lead to the fact that peace will never truly come.

Peace can only be achieved when everything has a common highest standard and all conflicts give way to it.

If you want to be happy, just turn a blind eye.

Even if it means taking away a certain amount of freedom, Michaela hopes that everyone can prioritize ensuring that life can coexist.

On this basis, they can have their own pursuits and beliefs, but all of this must have a common standard to avoid all conflicts and prevent these things from taking their lives.

Only in this way can we usher in a world of happiness and peace.

And setting this common standard that will make everyone compromise is something only Michaela can do.

That is to use your innate abilities to make everyone fall in love with you.

As long as there is a common belief that everyone in the world loves Michaela, the conflicts and hatred between each other will be diluted and give way to love.

Michaela knew that this was extremely difficult to achieve, and it was not certain whether she could always hold on to that ideal eternal world.

But let's think about the future in the future. Even if it's only for now, he hopes that there will be peace in the border area.

He hoped so no matter what means were used.
-
Bai Shi still had doubts about what Leida said.

Michaela actually invited him to the Shadow Land, and he felt there was something fishy going on. However, Bai Shi couldn't just sit back and watch the Shadow Land go by.

Not to mention the history of the border hidden in it, the Shadow Land has real benefits for Bai Shi.

If he could control the shadow tree and make it rain dew and grace again, Bai Shi would undoubtedly be able to obtain huge resources from it.

It could be said that this was an open conspiracy. They calculated that Bai Shi would be interested in the Shadow Land, so they just waited to see whether he would go there.

But before deciding whether to go, Bai Shi still has one thing to do.

Bai Shi suddenly remembered this matter just now.

At this time, Feng Ling Yue Ying's infinite magic still lasts for some time, and perhaps it can still play a role.

The Great Rune that was just taken from Monger was infused with the power of the Invisible Mother and possessed some laws related to blood.

This Great Rune carries the power of external gods and is completely different from the original Great Rune.

Bai Shi also had a piece of the Great Rune that he had obtained from Latan before.

During that epic battle, as Latan burned everything he had, the Great Rune also completely lost its power as it burned.

This Great Rune has not had the opportunity to be used yet.

Inspired by Mung's Great Rune, Bai Shi thought that perhaps he could try to infuse it with the power of the sun.

Now that I still have unlimited magic power, maybe I can give it a try.

Even if it is not possible to inject solar power that can truly reach the law level, with infinite magic power, the amount is definitely enough, and there is no guarantee of what effect it can play.

Therefore, Bai Shi did not respond to Leida's invitation and let the gray-white shadow of the big rune emerge from his body.

The shadow of the big Rune continued to rise upwards, and finally sank into the sun condensed by the white consciousness.

Under the intentional control of Bai Shi, the power of the sun began to infuse into the Great Rune.

It’s a pity that the process doesn’t seem to be going smoothly.

A large amount of solar power was unable to enter, and only the purest magic power slowly flowed in.

The rules that still exist in the border area always exclude the interference of external divine power, even the sun is no exception.

Leida was confused and didn't know what Bai Shi was doing at the moment.

But she didn't intend to disturb Bai Shi, so she waited quietly by the side.

Melina had already seen what Bai Shi was thinking at this moment, and her eyes widened immediately, feeling incredible.

Is Bai Shi intending to inject the power of the sun into the Great Rune?

Is this really something that can be done?

Seeing that there was almost no progress on the Great Rune, Melina suddenly had an idea and subconsciously took Bai Shi's hand.

At this time, Xiao Se's eyes opened again naturally, and as if instinctively, Melina began to participate in this process.

Bai Shi suddenly felt that the excluded force on the Great Rune began to loosen, and the power of the sun could actually enter it.

Bai Shi gave Melina a look of gratitude, and the two smiled at each other.

Melina breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could help Bai Shi, it would be enough.

She also didn't know what kind of power was contained in her Xiao Se Eyes, and whether she really inherited it from the legendary Queen of Xiao Se Eyes.

It was really unexpected that he could interfere in matters related to the law and the Great Rune.

However, this alone is not enough.

Melina is not the god chosen by the two fingers, nor is she the Queen of the Night Eyes, so she cannot truly inject the laws into the Great Rune.

But there is something in Bai Shi that may be able to do this.

Melina used her identity as a legitimate demigod of the Golden Clan to begin touching the center of gravity, Rune, within Bai Shi's body, pulling it to take effect.

With the help of the all-embracing power of the center of gravity rune, the power of the sun smoothly entered into this gray-white big rune.

Although there was still some resistance in the Great Rune, it was completely different from before.

Even if the efficiency is extremely low, it is not a problem in the eyes of Bai Shi, who has infinite magic power at this moment.

Bai Shi continued to inject this power until only a few seconds of infinite magic power remained.

It’s not that Bai Shi wants to waste these last few seconds, but this big Rune can no longer withstand such a huge force.

Finally, the power of the sun completely filled the Great Rune.

It’s a pity that there is no involvement of external gods, and their methods are still too simple and crude.

So now this is just simply using the Great Rune to store some power, without transforming the essence of the Great Rune, nor can it allow it to possess some of the laws of the sun.

In the days that followed, whenever Bai Shi needed it, he could release the solar power in the Great Rune again.

Even so, being able to preserve Feng Ling Yue Ying's power in disguise through this method is undoubtedly exciting news for Bai Shi.

Magic is like electricity, it can be stored up while taking advantage of the unlimited time, but it's a pity that other options are not so convenient.

He can't possibly be canned meat with infinite lives, that's ridiculous.

After Bai Shi finished all this, he stood in front of the cocoon.

After a brief hesitation, he finally decided to go to one of them to find out.

Bai Shi turned around and said to Melina:
"Melina, wait for me outside for a moment."

Melina was a little confused and was about to ask Bai Shi why he didn't join them, but she suddenly realized something.

Bai Shi must be worried that Michaela has a trick up her sleeve, so he needs her to stay.

Melina nodded obediently and held Bai Shi's hand tightly.

Bai Shi stood in front of the cocoon where the fake body was sleeping, looked at the outstretched dry arm, but was not in a hurry to touch it.

'Ashimi.'

Bai Shi quietly called out to Ashmi in his heart.

"Host, what's wrong?"

'Is there anything I can do?'

Bai Shi thought for a moment and told Ashimi:
"Ashimi, if you notice anything unusual about me after I touched that arm..."

"No matter how subtle the abnormality is, as long as it is different from usual, tell me directly."

'If I wasn't alerted to this when you pointed out the difference, then you should go find Melina and tell her about it.'

Ashmi was a little confused, but agreed.

She had not been with Bai Shi for long and did not understand these things very well.

But since the host did this, he must have his reasons.

After Bai Shi had finished explaining, he dared to touch the withered arm.

Michaela is a god-man, born with the ability to force all things to like him.

If I were just an ordinary fader, I would never take the risk myself.

But he is not an ordinary fader, he is a cheating fader, a fader with wind spirit and moon shadow.

Although this Feng Ling Yue Ying is not in its prime form, it still has an option to 'eliminate abnormal status'.

No matter how outrageous Michaela is, can he be stronger than Feng Ling Yue Ying?
As long as you use the Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow to eliminate the abnormal state, you will not be afraid of any kind of control.

The only question is whether he will realize by then that he has been deeply affected.

There is a famous line in Death that is still fresh in my memory:

"When did you get the illusion that I didn't use the Mirror Flower and Water Moon?"

This is the most difficult problem to solve in abnormal control effects.

If Bai Shi himself cannot detect the abnormality, then there is no way he can use Feng Ling Yue Ying to remove the effect.

As a mimic teardrop, Ashimi will not be affected by abnormal conditions, so let her remind herself when the time comes.

In addition, Melina could not touch the skinny arm for the time being as a last resort.

After arranging everything properly, Bai Shi took a deep breath.

Bai Shi loosened his grip on Melina's hand and touched the withered arm instead.
