Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Hound sword skills, plus blood slash!

The combined attack of the two fighting skills, one sword landed on the tail of the warhorse, and the other sword chopped on the back of the tree guard, leaving a huge wound, and countless rune power was dissipating.

"You, you guy!" The voice of the tree guard sounded gritting his teeth. He immediately turned the direction of his horse and swept and swung his spear at me.

——If it were an ordinary body, those two blows would have been considered serious injuries.

——But the body shaped by Rune can still attack continuously as if nothing happened. It's really shameless.

but--

"Your strength has been reduced a lot!" I used the brass shield to block the halberd of the tree guard, and turned around and used the first part of the hound sword skill.

After he landed at a distance, he gently grasped the sword with his left hand, and then performed it again - Blood Slash plus the second stage of the Hound Sword Technique!

when!

Huh? Something flew out of my peripheral vision.

Then, my attack was blocked by the golden tree shield of the tree guard, and the blood slash seemed to be ineffective. After all, I didn't see the blade flying out at all.

I was even knocked down by the tree guard's big shield.

prick--

Oh my god!? He quickly rolled on the ground several times to avoid the halberd's thrust. After he stood up, he felt an unusual pain in his left hand. His fingers seemed to be paralyzed and he couldn't feel anything.

No! Where are my fingers?

Could it be that the thing that flew out when I used the Blood Slash just now was my finger?

——I thought I had found the trick, but it seems that the combination of combat skills is not as easy as I thought!

——I need to recover first...Where is my Holy Grail bottle of Red Dettol?

ah! I remembered.

My arm was broken after being directly hit by the tree guard just now. I asked Burke to help me drink the Dettol Holy Grail bottle, and it is still in his hand.

Suddenly, I noticed a dark shadow appear beside me out of the corner of my eye. I quickly raised my shield and used my right hand to block it.

——Without my fingers, I could barely hold up the shield.

"What are you looking at?" When the guy guarding the big tree saw that his sneak attack failed, he turned his horse around and kicked me from behind.

I blocked the attack with my shield again and used the force to roll backwards.

"Ouch——"

Seeing this, the three ghost wolves and wolf king Fenlig rushed to support.

I took this opportunity to reach out to Burke and said, "Burke, throw the Holy Grail bottle to me!"

"Oh, oh! Zero, Master Zero has picked it up!"

The Holy Grail bottle drew a beautiful arc in the air. After I took it, I quickly took two gulps and immediately recovered to full health: "Okay! It's time to end it."

In any case, after the two heavy blows before, the power of the tree guard was no longer as strong as before. As the main force, I tried to restrain the opponent's movement, while the wolves continued to attack and reduce the rune power of the tree guard.

The once invincible opponent, under our siege, gradually lost the ability to fight back. Finally, he lost consciousness and was pounced on by the wolf king, who bit the throat of the tree guard.

“But, damn it! I, my golden army, actually, would be defeated by..." The tree guard turned into gray smoke and disappeared before he could finish his words.

But all the runes gathered on the White Wolf King.

——It’s over, I’m done for.

——······Forget it, in the game, there were many times when A Tai was taken away by a low-health BOSS with a set of smooth little combos, and then Gu Hui took the kill.

——A small guard of the big tree, once it is given, it is given...sad.

"Lord Zero!" Seeing the battle was over, Burke immediately ran over excitedly.

And Kale and another wandering merchant also came over with other gray wolves and small Asians from the coastal cave.

Old Kalie looked me up and down, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Finally you look like a warrior, my dear guest."

"After all, we've been through a lot." I turned to the others and asked, "Is anyone injured?"

Asian people, you look at me and I look at you.

I just remembered that even if they were chattering away, I couldn’t really understand what they were saying.

Kale heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The blessing of the borderland allows the creatures to recover quickly even if they are seriously injured. Even those who have fallen should be able to come back to life by tomorrow."

"Well, that seems to be true." I was a little embarrassed. After all, people's physiques cannot be generalized, let alone A-Tai and the natives who were once expelled from the border area. "It's getting late today, so let's take a rest first... Tomorrow, when these guys are revived, I will take you to Stonewell. Recently, the place is being rebuilt and is quite short of manpower. After helping out, you can live there directly, which is safer."

"So, you really did defeat that terrifying demigod, 'Limb-Replacing' Greg?" Although he had heard of this information before, Kale still couldn't believe it.

I confidently showed Greg's Big Rune and said proudly, "Who do you think I am? I'm a super speed party player!"

"... I only know that if you show off the Great Rune so ostentatiously, someone might come and snatch it from you tomorrow." After Karie couldn't help but complain, he sighed, "But, customer, you are really the same as before, always saying some inexplicable things."

I couldn't refute what Kale said again, so I could only ignore it: "Ahaha~ I won't say anymore. I'm tired after working for a long time and I'm a little hungry."

Burke came over immediately and said, "Don't worry, Master Ling. There is some dried rabbit meat left in the cave yesterday, as well as some edible leaves we picked. We will make you something delicious right away to fill your stomach!"

"Oh~thank you very much."

······

After being well fed and warmed, he returned to the Dragon Feast Church after a long absence.

Seeing that there was no one around, I took out the Hound's Fang, pointed it at the wall of the church, and made preparations. At the same time, I placed my left hand on the blade of the Fang.

Combat skill——Hound sword skill, activate!

At the same time, he wiped his palms, causing Changya to drink blood thirstily, triggering the second combat skill - Blood Slash!

bass--

As the fighting skills were naturally activated, my whole body leaped backward and tumbled.

But when he returned to the corner, he found that the blood slash still did not trigger successfully. Not even a drop of blood splashed on the wall. It either remained on the fangs or fell on the grass.

——······Strange, at that moment, I clearly used this combination of fighting skills.

——Is it because the cut I made was not severe enough and the amount of bleeding was insufficient?

Again!

Combat skills - hound sword skills, at the same time, blood slash!

······Oh my god! It hurts so much!

It was so bad that I almost chopped off half of my palm, but it still had no effect at all!

I quickly drank some Orange Juice (Holy Grail Bottle) to calm down. It shouldn't be a matter of blood loss at all. After all, when I use the King's Army Straight Sword, I can basically use the blood slashing attack as long as I make a cut.

Why is that?

"Lord Zero, what are you doing?" Suddenly, Melina's voice came from behind.

This surprised me a little. My brain went blank and I couldn't speak clearly: "What? What? I'm just practicing."

Melina looked around, her expression slightly relieved, and then explained: "I feel that the power in your body is a little confused. Is everything really okay?"

"It's really nothing. You looked around and there's no one else."

——Meimei actually came to care about me? I'm touched!

However, under Melina's gaze, I finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, I am trying to combine the two fighting skills together... Obviously, I used it accidentally during the day, but now it seems that it is still a bit difficult."

“Really…” Melina was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m sorry, Master Zero, I don’t really understand the relevant combat skills, but using power chaotically like just now might cause harm to your body.”

······In fact, damage has already been caused.

Since Meimei is so worried, I'd better wait and ask Bernard about it in detail later. After all, he is also A-Ti's combat skills teacher in the game.

However, what his actual situation is and whether he is willing to guide me is another matter.

"However, there is one thing I should tell you." Melina raised her beautiful eyes, looked at me and said, "Rune is not only the source of power, but also the blood of all creatures living in this borderland, including you, the Faded One, Master Zero."
