Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 308 I am the orthodox Golden Tree!

Bai Shi stood in the air, quietly watching the blood monsters underground turn into ashes under the scorching sun.

After confirming that there were no more power carriers related to the Invisible Mother around, Bai Shi immediately withdrew the power in the Great Rune.

In order to prepare for future battles, it is better to save as much as possible.

The solar power in this Great Rune was stored in the last time when there was infinite magic power.

Normally, Bai Shi doesn't have that much magic power to supply the sun to output at full power.

If you use it too much, even Bai Shi will be reluctant to let it go.

After all, this is a real killer move. If the opponent is not the Invisible Mother, Bai Shi would never be able to use this move immediately.

Bai Shi put away the Great Rune, very satisfied with the effect it played.

The Invisible Mother is an external deity after all, and Bai Shi dare not be careless in the slightest.

His connection with the border area must be destroyed immediately to prevent him from lowering his power.

But it is impossible to use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow every time to deal with him.

Now it is equivalent to splitting up infinite mana and using it separately, so that each time you can briefly output the same amount of infinite mana.

Bai Zhi descended from the sky and landed in the ruins left by the blood monsters.

There is no other life in this ruin, only bones everywhere.

In some places, there are cursed blood pools where blood gathers, and strange red flowers grow on the edge.

These flowers have thick petals, are full of blood, and are particularly enchanting.

It looks like a blood flower similar to a blood rose.

'Blood Amaryllis', this is the name they display to Bai Shi's eyes.

Bai Shi looked at the skeletons without a trace of flesh and blood.

Although only bones remain, one can still tell from the ominous horns scattered on the ground what they were in life - Horned People.

Bai Shi touched his chin.

The ruins of this town were built in exactly the same style as those of the Horned People, and the number of bones on the ground also proved that this was once a place where a large number of Horned People lived.

But now there is no Horn Man here, not even a Shadow Horn Man.

All eaten?
Do these strange creatures also have a grudge against the Horned People?

Not necessarily, maybe they just use the horned people as food.

Bai Shi walked around the town, trying to find some valuable loot.

After a while, he only found a talisman in a small room.

It was the 'Legend of the External Gods', and it showed a carving of the body of a Horned Man ancestor, with several Horned Men kneeling below them.

The amulet was casually thrown on the ground next to the corpse of a horned man.

It is an important legendary record for the Horned People, but in the eyes of the Blood Monsters it is just something that cannot be chewed, no different from a stone.

Bai Shi picked up the amulet and felt the power it carried.

This amulet, like other amulets in the 'Legend of XX' series, indicates certain attributes.

And what this amulet improves is actually the attribute of sensing.

Induction is the attribute that determines a person's connection with external forces. Only with sufficient induction can one feel the existence of external gods.

Bai Shi put away the amulet and began to think about a question.

How were these 'Legend of XX' series of amulets made?

The effects and rarity of amulets vary greatly.

Rare ones are like Marika's and Radagon's marks and the Corrosive Mark, which are extremely rare and have powerful effects.

A large number of amulets are like jihad badges, and those who participate in the jihad and have certain status can be given them.

Bai Shi has never met anyone who makes amulets, so he doesn't know how they are made.

After witnessing the legend, did you retain the strength from that moment?
I don’t know when someone will be able to make a talisman based on his deeds.

After searching the ruins, Bai Shi left.

Before leaving the Shadow Land, Bai Shi wanted to go to another place.

When they first entered the Shadow Land, Bai Shi and Melina explored most of the area on this cemetery plain.

And in this area, there is still a final part that has not been explored.

After previously exploring the Firekissed Ruins where the Shadowhorn people roamed, Torret took them to search for ashes.

Just at the edge of the cliff where the ashes were found, Bai Shi found a building below the cliff.

That is a place marked on the map as 'Church of Consolation'.

There seems to be a camp in the Church of Comfort, where some people are still stationed.

He didn't know what kind of people were there before, so out of caution, Bai Shi didn't go there to find out, but chose to look for Leida and others first.

However, after coming into contact with the Flame Knight and learning about the Holy War, various information was completed.

Bai Shi was very sure that that was where his elder brother-in-law Messermo's men were stationed.

Last time, the Fire Knight ran too fast and Bai Shi didn't have time to get his questions clear.

If he didn't run away in the end, Bai Shi was planning to tell her about his relationship with Melina and let him take her to see Messermo.

So this time Bai Shi plans to go there and take a look.

Bai Shi was somewhat concerned about the fact that all the heads of Marika's statues in the Shadow Land were destroyed.

What is Messermo thinking now? Is he still as steadfast in his support for Malika as he once was?
And what is his attitude towards his sister Melina.

After all, we are on someone else's territory, and it is not a good idea to break directly into the base camp.
-
Bai Shi flew directly towards the church and soon arrived above it.

Here is a relatively well-preserved church. There is a waterfall hanging from the cliff behind, forming a pool beside it.

A small camp was set up next to the pond, and the soldiers were sitting there listlessly.

And the strangest thing is that the military flags there are very broken and there is no one to take care of them.

Bai Zhi landed at the door of the church.

Looking around, Bai Shi suddenly realized that there was not even a soldier standing guard at the door of the church.

Since no one can explain our purpose, let's just go in and see if we can find the commander here.

Good news, Bai Shi found the person he was looking for as soon as he entered the church.

A knight dressed in black and gold, holding a huge hammer and a shield as big as a door, was standing at the door of the church.

Judging from his appearance, he is definitely a high-ranking knight and his status is definitely not low.

Bad news! Before Bai Shi could speak, the knight shouted:
"Intruder!"

So as soon as he entered the church, a sledgehammer was smashed in front of Bai Shi, smashing the ground into cracks.

Bai Shi jumped back and avoided the heavy blow.

But the other party obviously did not intend to let Bai Shi retreat just like that.

He did not immediately lift the heavy hammer from the ground, but sank it down and released the power again.

A golden light shone on the hammer, infusing magic power into the ground.

With a flash of golden light, the cracks on the ground immediately spread towards Baizhi, and dazzling sacred light burst out from the gaps.

At this moment, the other party also used the light to see Bai Shi's appearance clearly in the dim church.

Seeing Bai Shi's appearance, the knight couldn't help but exclaimed:
“It’s actually the Lightless One!”

"Soldiers! Fight!"

Bai Shi touched his face and suddenly remembered that he had specifically revoked the blessing on his eyes when he met the old woman from the Horned Man last time.

Later, because there was no need, I forgot to add it again.

After all, he didn't care whether he was a faded one or a blessed one.

However, these guys' obsession with the Lightless Ones was quite deep. This was the second time Bai Shi had been treated with hostility because of his identity as a Lightless One.

But at least it can be confirmed that the guy in front of him must be a soldier under Messemo.

It seems that apart from Messemo's men, no one else in the Shadow Land cares about the Lightless One.

The other party had already called out to other soldiers, but Bai Shi was not in a hurry. Instead, he focused his attention on the knight in front of him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Shi also carefully observed the appearance of the knight in front of him.

The knight was wearing a heavy black armor, all decorated with gold carvings.

Although his armor was thick, it even seemed a little thin compared to the two heavy things in his hands.

In one hand he held a huge black iron hammer, the size of which was even more exaggerated than the Giant Crushing Hammer.

In his other hand he held a heavy, asymmetrical shield, also made of black iron with gold inlays.

The big shield looked like half of a door had been removed.

And this knight, who certainly seemed to have participated in the holy war, also had an astonishing size.

The knight was over two and a half meters tall, and because of this, the weapon of such an astonishing size looked very coordinated in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Bai Shi began to confirm his previous inference.

As described in the text of the Giant-Smashing Hammer, humans in the ancient times of the Borderland were generally more powerful.

Both in size and strength.

Next, we just need to meet other ordinary soldiers and compare them with the humans currently on the border, and we will be able to make a conclusion.

It is very likely that the older the creature, the stronger it is.

Bai Shi blinked as he looked at the knight in front of him confronting him.

Some time has passed since the knight called on the soldiers.

Moreover, there was a camp less than ten meters away from the side, where many soldiers were stationed.

but……

Only three soldiers had come running so far.

Bai Shi looked at the three soldiers who were much taller than the modern humans at the border, then looked at the commanding knight and shrugged.

It seems that the soldiers who experienced the holy war are not in good condition.

The knight kept his eyes on Bai Shi, regarding his actions as a mockery.

He raised the sledgehammer high and attacked Bai Shi again.

Bai Shi didn't hit him hard, but just dodged his sledgehammer and kicked his big shield.

Since he is my brother-in-law's subordinate, it is better not to kill him.

The knight bent his waist and straightened his shield, smashing the heavy shield to the ground, and was about to resist with the strength he was proud of.

But he suddenly found that he was completely unable to resist this huge force and was kicked back repeatedly.

The three soldiers who were nearby saw their leader being beaten back and immediately stepped forward.

A soldier holding a double-headed axe approached Bai Shi and swung the axe repeatedly to hinder Bai Shi's possible pursuit.

The other two soldiers all raised their spears and accurately stabbed at Bai Shi in the gaps between their comrades' attacks.

Bai Shi was strolling leisurely under the repeated attacks of the three people. The intensive attacks could not even touch the corner of his clothes.

Bai Shi looked at the knight who had already stood firmly, smiled and said:

"Don't be so anxious."

"Though I am indeed what you call a Lightless One."

"But if I must say, I am the most legitimate heir to the Golden Tree in the border area."

The black knight on the opposite side was very angry when he heard Bai Shi's words and shouted:
"You lightless one, what are you talking about...?!"

Halfway through his words, the knight seemed to be strangled by the neck and could no longer utter the words.

Because a golden light suddenly shone in the eyes of the invader in front of him!
That bright golden light is undoubtedly the blessing of gold!

But he couldn't believe it and just thought it was some kind of trick.

Just as he was thinking about how this was done, two different large runes appeared in front of Bai Shi.

One carries pure golden power, and the other carries an unknown warm light.

Looking at the two big runes, the knight fell silent.

The Shadow Land and the Border Land had been isolated for too long, and he didn't know that the magic ring was broken.

Also because of his low status, he did not understand the relationship between the Great Rune and the Magic Ring.

But his faith was enough to make him understand that the relationship between the person in front of him and the golden tree was indeed extraordinary.

Just as he was hesitating, Bai Shi spoke again:
"Not only that, my partner is Queen Malika's daughter - Melina."

Bai Shi's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Black Knight.

The expression under his helmet became very strange, and finally he put away his hammer and shield.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers around him put away their weapons.

These soldiers had already lost their minds and had no reaction to the explosive news just now.

The Black Knight saw it in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

It would be better to say that even he himself was forcing himself to get through it.

That brutal holy war was a complete and dishonorable massacre.

The massacre even left a lingering stench of decay on their bodies.

Was the source of that stench the blood that splashed back when the defiler was killed?

Or is it the smell emitted by one's soul after being corrupted by endless killing?
It doesn't matter, as long as the holy war is over, everything will be worth it.

But then, they were exiled by the golden tree they believed in.

And all this is because of Messermo.

He betrayed Queen Malika, betrayed the Golden Tree, and cut off the heads of all the statues of Queen Malika.

It was precisely because of his betrayal that this place was abandoned and turned into a completely God-forsaken place!

In the end, the leader of their Black Knights even found out the true nature of the 'evil snake' hidden under the Messermo winged snake.

Led by the two legion commanders, they gathered most of the black knights and a considerable number of soldiers.

They declared war on Messermo in order to protect the legitimacy of the Golden Tree.

Unfortunately... they failed in the end.

The chief and deputy chief were imprisoned and executed, and the rest of the people also suffered heavy casualties.

However, unexpectedly, the defeated army was still accepted by Messermo.

Several armies that were still unwilling to return were no longer pursued.

This is the reason why the current troop appears behind the ruins of the Horned People.

But now, new hope has come to him.

If it was Miss Melina, who only existed in rumors...

The person in front of me is indeed the legitimate heir to the Golden Tree!

At the very least, it's better than that evil snake.

The black knight made up his mind and immediately knelt on one knee.

"Please forgive my earlier rudeness!"

"Also, please allow me to offer my loyalty to you!"

Bai Shi looked at the black knight in front of him, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Why did things develop differently from what he imagined?
