Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Poof——

Blood gushed out like a fountain, turning into a huge blade that slashed out and splashed onto a tree five meters away.

Then the big tree collapsed along the bloodstain, and I staggered and fell to the ground.

——Teeth, white teeth.

Too much blood was drawn out at once, and with just one move, he almost fainted from blood loss.

With shaking hands, he fed himself the Holy Grail bottle of Red Drops, then he came to his senses and lay on the ground with a sigh of relief.

Just now, my thoughts seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du meridians, penetrating my whole body, like a clear spring dragon swimming through my body.

——It turns out that the rune that Melina mentioned is also the blood of a warrior, and this is actually the explicit meaning!

At the same time, I subconsciously realized that just now, my body had completely mastered the fighting skill of "Blood Slash"!

Without further ado, let’s test it out.

I jumped up from the ground excitedly, closed my eyes, and focused all my attention on controlling the flow of runes in my body.

He held the hound's tusk in his right hand and the sword in his left hand. He first gathered the rune power in his body into his two hands respectively... more on the left hand and less on the right hand... Then he linked the two forces together through the tusk, and at the moment of cutting his palms, he used the traction between the runes to swing out naturally.

Combat skill——Blood slash!

bass!

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the tree that had fallen in front of him had indeed been split into two pieces again by the blood-stained blow!

"Oh - shrimp!" I couldn't help but raise my arms and shout, "I finally succeeded! It was not easy... Awesome! Look at the cut surface, look at the sharpness, I am worthy of being the invincible iron chicken!"

"Come again, come again! Fighting technique - blood slash!"

"Ahahaha! I did it! I did it! It really worked! What? It's not that difficult~"

"Blood slash! Blood slash!"

······

After almost using up all the Holy Grail bottles, the excitement, excitement and pride gradually subsided.

I forced a smile and sat by the blessing point to recover my strength. I couldn't help but want to show off my great success to Bernal.

——Hmm? No, this is only half the battle.

——We have to complete the combat skills combination before Bernal comes back!

With this in mind, I stood up again with full confidence and began to challenge myself to combine the Hound Sword Skills with the Blood Slash.

Moreover, with the experience just now, I realized that I had made a serious mistake before - I always thought that the order of transferring the power of runes between the two combat skills was to give it to the hound combat skill first, and then use part of the runes to perform the blood slash.

But in fact, when prepared, one should first provide the Blood Slash with sufficient Rune power, and then the "war ash" on the hound's fangs will automatically control the remaining Rune to perform the hound sword skills!

——No wonder Melina showed up so anxiously last night to remind me.

——Without any understanding, I wantonly turned the runes in my body, but I couldn't use them, which led to the disorder of power. If I'm not careful, there is a possibility of going berserk.

bass--

As expected, the blood blade slashed again, and I flipped backwards. After I landed on the ground with some distance, I placed my left hand on the blade again. At the same time, I gathered some runes under my feet and launched the second attack of the hound sword technique.

Bang!

perfect!

Another tree cut down!

Now, Bernal must have no shortage of wood, hahaha!

······

"What are you doing?" When Bernard came back, he saw me standing on a tree stump with a smug look on my face, and couldn't help but express his doubts.

I was full of energy and said, "Senior Bernal, I have mastered my magical skills and I came here to learn from you~"

"... In other words, you are able to combine the two fighting skills together." Bernal drew out his greatsword and prepared himself. "Then let's try and see the true power of your move."

"Excuse me!" I picked up the fang, got ready, and approached Bernal, then used the hound sword technique directly...

"oops!"

His feet went weak and before he could do a backflip he fell to the ground with his butt.

——It’s over, it’s over, I was so excited that I practiced several times just now. I only remembered to replenish my health and didn’t even notice that I had used up all the mana for concentration. I’m so embarrassed...

“······This should be considered a step backward, right?” He and I stared at each other for a long time, waiting for Senior Bernal to kill me with one blow, but he also made some comments to save my face.

"Wait, give me two seconds!" I quickly got up, took out two holy grail bottles, and drank them all in one gulp.

After confirming that my physical strength had fully recovered, I took a deep breath and calmed myself down: "Please get ready, Senior Bernal."

Bernal stopped talking, took a defensive stance, and looked at me.

He carried the large curved sword on his shoulder with his right hand and gently placed his left hand on the blade.

——In fact, if it is performed successfully, the Blood Slash does not need to make a big gap on oneself. Even if it is just a small wound on the finger, as long as it can draw out the rune power in A'tai's body as blood, it will be enough.

I suddenly accelerated, stepped forward, and swung my hound's fangs towards Bernal's greatsword.

Combat Skill——Blood Slash······

Fusion, combat skills - Hound Sword Skills, one-stage,

It turned into my new fighting skill—Wolf Attack Blood Dance!

when--

The moment the two weapons clashed, I felt a huge force that blocked the hound tusk in my hand and bounced it away. In order to hold the weapon tightly, my entire arm was almost thrown out.

——This, this is a fighting skill——blocking!

I didn't expect that my trick would be cracked so easily?

But looking at Bernard, he also took a few steps back. A sharp blood-red blade fell from his armor. Even his face, which was always indifferent and unperturbed, revealed surprise and shock.

“… Sorry, Zero.” After a long while, Bernard was the first to come back to his senses. “The threat of your move was beyond my imagination, which is why I subconsciously blocked it.”

"No, nothing." I quickly replied, "But Senior Bernard, are you okay?"

Bernal shook his head, but he was still a little scared when he saw the blood blade falling on him. "Even if I block the first part, I still can't resist the blood blade's attack? This move is really powerful."

"Right! From the very beginning, I felt that if these two moves were combined, they would highlight extreme violence!" He felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart when he received such recognition from Bernal.

——Besides, the hound's fangs themselves have the "bleeding" attribute, and the blood sacrifice slash is a perfect match.

——If I enchant this weapon with the "bleeding" spell in the future, I'm afraid that even if the opponent defends against several attacks, the "bleeding" status effect can be triggered!

I continued excitedly, "I named this move, Wolf Blood Dance!"

"Wolf Blood Dance... is indeed a good name." Bernard nodded in approval, "However, how many times have you succeeded with this move?"

"Well, this, ahaha~" I scratched the back of my head, feeling a little embarrassed.

After most of the day's testing, I found that when performing Wolf Blood Dance, about five or six times out of ten I would be forced to stop because I got the order of rune rotation wrong. Two or three times, the rotation time was too long and the beats could not be placed continuously. The success rate was as low as less than 20%.

"Practice more, you will eventually master it." I patted my chest and choked on my saliva, "Cough cough cough!"

Bernal also continued to remind him: "But, to be honest, your move is too obvious. After being hit once, no matter who it is, they will be on guard."

——It’s true. It’s okay against large BOSSes, but when facing other A-Tu, the pre-swing of the action is too big and it’s easy to suffer a loss.

——Just like Bernal just now, and the "richest man in the borderland" Mugram who is even better at shield parrying, and the vast number of parrying masters, I have suffered a lot in the arena of the game! My stomach has been stabbed.

"However, since you, Zero, have already understood what the fighting skills are, there is still more room for experimentation... For example, directly launching the second stage of the hound sword skill can catch the opponent off guard." Bernard even gave me some thoughtful advice.

I couldn't help but bow and thank you sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

"Old...teacher? Uh..." Bernard's face twitched slightly, as if he couldn't hold it together.

——Haha, it turns out you can also be at a loss.
