Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 286: Shadow Land
After touching the withered arm, Bai Shi suddenly felt a strange force enveloping his body.

The feeling was as if it was the first time that the blessing was used to teleport. It was very strange, and seemed to come from the same source of power.

The next moment, Bai Shi’s entire figure disappeared from the spot.

Melina stayed in the temple, and when Bai Shi disappeared, she stood quietly in front of the cocoon and waited.

Leida raised her head and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sun hanging in the eternal night sky had long disappeared, and the false night sky was once again sparkling with stars.

Leida said to Melina:

"The effect of the pure gold on Monger is about to end. I need to leave first to reinforce it again."

"May I ask how you and Lord Bai Shi plan to deal with this body?"

Melina shook her head.

"How to deal with the body..."

"Let Bai Shi come back and let him decide."

Leida nodded.

"Then I will wait for your decision."

I hope everything goes as expected by Lady Michaela...
-
Bai Shi opened his eyes and looked around.

At this moment, he appeared in a small space surrounded by rocks.

Bai Shi looked forward and saw a small path in front of him that led to nowhere.

Bai Shi did not immediately choose to leave along the trail.

Before setting out to explore the surrounding environment, Bai Shi lowered his head and silently felt whether there were any changes in his body.

After feeling it for a while, Bai Shi did not find any power that might be related to Michaela.

In this case, there is really no way for me to judge whether I have fallen into an abnormal charm effect.

Bai Shi asked Ashimi silently in his heart:

'Ashimi, did you find anything when you came here just now?'

'Also, have I shown any abnormality so far?'

Ashmi carefully distinguished and then gave his own opinion:
"Hmm... Host, I feel like you haven't changed at all now."

'Is it because I'm worrying too much?'

"But I'll keep an eye out for it when you come into contact with other people. If there are any changes, they should be very obvious at that time."

White consciousness thinks a little.

As expected, nothing can be seen from this alone.

But it seems that it is not a problem. Anyway, there is no need for him and Michaela to fight.

Compared with the mental abnormalities, the physical changes are more obvious.

A dark shadow clung to his body, preventing him from using his power.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and released the power of the sun.

However, what was clearly a shadow was not affected by the sun at all and did not disappear.

Bai Shi retracted his strength and stopped trying.

This shadowy thing seems to be the unique rule of this place.

While blocking the Shadow Land, did we also change some of the rules here?
It seems that there is special repression against people coming from outside.

However, if you really want to use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow to become immune to abnormal effects, this should also be removed at the same time, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Bai Shi clenched his fists, feeling the power he could exert.

It seems that the suppression is quite strong, probably weaker than when challenging Ratan.

I just don't know whether it is a percentage suppression or a fixed force suppression.

In this way, it would not be a loss even if you use it once just to remove this negative effect.

After summarizing his own situation, Bai Shi looked at the surrounding environment again.

The surroundings weren't particularly dark, and there was a dim light shining from above.

Bai Shi looked up, wanting to see the sky in this place.

Through the obstruction of the cliff, Bai Shi saw the narrow and dark sky.

There seemed to be a layer of light black gauze-like shadow covering the sky, and the sky was very dark.

The light black shadow covering the sky was almost identical to the shadow on Bai Shi's body at this moment.

Retracting his gaze, Bai Shi looked towards the long-abandoned building on the cliff.

The building sits on the edge of a cliff, so Bai Shi can easily see it from this position.

Judging from its shape, this building is undoubtedly a church.

It is even more complete and cleaner than some churches on the border.

The churches at the border were severely damaged, with almost no intact buildings left.

After looking at it for a while, Bai Shi didn't find any particularly big difference from the border area.

There's no rush to go back right now.

Bai Shi discovered that the power related to blessing is still effective here, so if you want to leave, you can just teleport through blessing.

So find a blessed spot before leaving...if there is one.

Once you find the blessing point, things will be much more convenient and you can use the blessing to teleport back and forth.

However, since this place was once part of the border area, there is no need to worry about the lack of blessing points.

Bai Shi walked towards the narrow passage ahead.

After passing through the mountain, a vast plain appeared in front of Bai Shi.

The vast plain was covered with withered yellow straw, densely packed with illusory tombstones, and stone tablets of unknown use could be seen everywhere.

However, at this moment, Bai Shi's sight was not at all on the vast plain.

At the end of his distant sight, an extremely huge black tree stood between heaven and earth, stealing all his attention.

Golden light kept flowing on the dark tree trunks, like flowing honey or burning fire.

This pitch-black tree is so huge that it seems to connect heaven and earth, just like a golden tree.

However, there are obvious differences between this tree and the golden tree.

The most intuitive and obvious difference is their shape.

The golden tree is extremely tall and straight, growing straight up to the sky with lush branches and leaves.

Even though the ring is broken and the golden law is difficult to maintain today, the light continues to descend.

But the shadow trees here are completely different. Their trunks are twisted and without any leaves, and their rugged branches are bare.

Above the treetops, the leaves were replaced by a veil of shadow that blocked out the sun.

The veil of light hung down from the treetops to the surroundings, covering the entire shadowy land, as if no light could penetrate.

Bai Shi looked at the shadow in the sky and roughly understood why this place was called the Land of Shadows.

You can recognize this tree at a glance without anyone introducing it to you.

There is no doubt that this tree is the so-called shadow tree.

Bai Shi looked at the towering shadow tree and was already looking forward to his next journey in the Shadow Land.

Although there is a large plain in front of us, the terrain is not low and we can see many things from a high vantage point.

Just at the foot of the shadow trees in the distance, there are large and magnificent buildings scattered around.

It’s a pity that the distance is too far and the fog is so thick that Bai Shi can’t see the true appearance of the place.

Besides, the plain is surrounded by mountains, and I wonder if there will be anything after crossing it. Bai Shi smiled, and was excited about the upcoming new journey.

This is a completely unfamiliar and new place.

The roads I had walked on before were all roads I was already familiar with. There was no unfamiliar place at all, and I even knew roughly where things were.

Therefore, it was difficult for Bai Shi to have any deep feelings for the journey itself. It was almost entirely Melina and the people he met along the way that gave it important meaning.

Now, such exploration can be regarded as a real journey, and it is a pleasure just to think about it.

Bai Shi took a deep breath and returned his gaze to the plain in front of him.

He was very curious just now about what that huge creature with flames all over its body wandering on the plain ahead was.

On the plains around it there are large stretches of building ruins, stretching endlessly.

These ruins are large and small, the small ones are just village settlements, while the large ones are big enough to be called towns.

These ruins have one thing in common: they are all burned black.

Bai Shi looked at the strange creature that was wandering around with some curiosity.

This thing is probably the culprit that turned these towns into ruins.

Bai Shi summoned Torret and moved along the blessed light in front of him, just enough to get close to the giant creature.

After lighting up a blessing point on the plain, Bai Shi was in a position where he could clearly see the shape of the fire creature.

That thing was obviously not a normal life form. After all, it looked just like a brazier.

There was no head, just a stone mask surrounded by twisting flames hanging from the top.

Instead, there were two heads of fire giants hanging above the legs.

A round brazier with cylindrical limbs on top is the entire design of its body.

Its body is constructed from a series of metal strips connected together, and is hollowed out like a railing, allowing the power of the flame to easily pass through.

This is probably something like a golem, but it is completely different from those golems with restrained and simple shapes.

It was huge in size and burning with blazing flames, and its shape reminded Bai Shi of the Wicker Man in Celtic legend.

According to legend, the Celts wove wicker men, placed sacrifices inside and burned them, praying for a good harvest with their painful cries.

In various works of later generations, most of them appear as powerful enemies or religious symbols.

I didn't expect to see it at this border.

Bai Shi observed the Wicker Man carefully for a while, then used the blessing to teleport back to the temple of the Blood Dynasty.

After a brief trance, Bai Shi had returned to the Blood Dynasty.

Bai Shi looked at his body. The shadow of the Shadow Land was still covering him, but it did not have a suppressing effect at this moment.

It seems that this is something that is only effective in the shadow land.

Seeing Bai Shi coming back, Melina hurried forward to ask:

"How about it?"

Bai Shi shook his head.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."

"But you may need to pay more attention to me for a while."

"As for that side, I think we will have a very eventful journey ahead."

Melina nodded and suddenly asked:
"What do you think of Michaela?"

Bai Shi was stunned.

Is there any need to ask such a question? He is devoted to Michaela!
"Micaela is indeed someone who needs 'attention'."

Melina stared at Bai Shi.

Although there was nothing wrong with the answer, her intuition told her that something was wrong.

There was a very familiar feeling, as if my home was being robbed.

Melina put her hands on Bai Shi's shoulders and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Bai Shi, just think of it as doing this for me. Use that power from outside this world to remove the abnormal state."

Bai Shi blinked when he heard Melina's words.

He didn't think there was anything strange about himself now, but he trusted Melina completely.

'Yes, I must use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow immediately.'

Considering Melina as the last insurance means that Bai Shi believes that he can absolutely trust Melina no matter what the situation.

Bai Shi immediately used Feng Ling Yue Ying once.

'Ding'

Abnormal status removed... Cleared.

Coming back to his senses, Bai Shi covered his face when he recalled what he had just thought.

what……

Damn Michaela, for letting me have such thoughts!

Michaela, you evil little man-girl!

At this time, a golden emblem appeared on Bai Shi's body.

Bai Shi was surprised when he saw the emblem that had appeared.

The mark that Michaela left on Bai Shi still exists, and he can now feel it clearly.

However, under the effect of Feng Ling Yue Ying's 'Remove Abnormal Status', it has completely failed.

The emblem left by Michaela did not disappear, but became invalid.

Now it has no function except for the lack of negative effects. It is just a decoration.

Feeling the mark of Michaela in his body, Bai Shi sneered twice.

Just keep it, this is just right, I can continue to pretend that I am still in their team.

At that time, we can collect information along the way and find out what Michaela is trying to do.

There's no way Michaela really wants to use an alternative Infinite Tsukuyomi at the border, right?
That's a really classic scene of wanting to create a perfect world.

Michaela certainly doesn't have the ability to charm everyone right now. He can't do it yet.

Then there must be something or a method in the Shadow Land that he wants and that can help him achieve this.

From now on, we must make Michaela our top priority.

When faced with a guy like this, we can't let him develop.

The best thing is to stop him, at the very least, we must understand his whereabouts and progress.

Bai Shi raised Michaela's danger level to the maximum in his mind, and then began to feel other changes in his body.

This time, Feng Ling Yue Ying seemed to have more effects than just removing Michaela's charm.

At this time, the mist covered by the shadow on Bai Shi's body also lost its effect, and now the mist only had a layer of special effects left.

Even in the Shadow Land, you can use your full strength without restriction.

and……

Bai Shi took out an amulet leather bag, opened it and looked at the corrupting mark of Radagon inside.

At this moment, the brand had lost the negative effect of increasing his damage, leaving only the positive benefit.

I can continue to carry it with me without any burden.

The ability to remove abnormal effects does not seem to make the entire object with negative effects ineffective, but simply removes the negative effects.

The effect is quite good and Bai Shi is very satisfied with it.

　Happy National Day meow~
