Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

“Aaaaah—Aaaah!” Edgar’s roars became louder and louder, as if he was trying to roar out his entire soul.

Suddenly, I felt powerless in my heart.

——Still can't do it? I clearly intended to save you and your daughter from the beginning, but why is it still...

It seems that there really is a big hand manipulating everything in the dark.

Is it true that everyone's fate is already determined and cannot be changed at all?

“······So that’s how it is. Is this the power of madness? Alas~ The poor man who has been deceived, his self is about to be completely lost.” Melina’s sigh suddenly came from behind, but her face was as cold as ice.

——After all, it was the most annoying fire that attracted her to show up.

However, when our eyes met, a trace of doubt and tenderness flashed across Melina's eyes, and she said softly: "Master Ling, this is indeed a pity, but now is not the time to be sad."

“…No, it’s not.”

——I am worried about you, Melina. If your fate has already been determined, I...

"Watch out, Master Zero!"

At Melina's reminder, I quickly turned around and saw the fire of epilepsy rushing towards me like water.

I quickly rolled over to dodge.

Looking at Edgar, in the blazing fire, he stood up shakily like a demon, gasping for breath violently, one hand clutching his eye sockets, and speaking nonsense: "Haa-haa-die! Die! Die! Hahahaha, die for me! Zero--"

The next second, he picked up the halberd with one hand, rushed forward suddenly, and swept towards me with great force.

"Calm down, Edgar!" I picked up my fangs and blocked his attacks. But Edgar was so powerful that I was forced to retreat.

Moreover, while attacking, he kept asking, "Why!? Why you! Give Irena back to me! Give her back to me—"

In his madness, Edgar's attacks were even more disorganized, but with my current abilities, I can handle it as usual.

Only those roars were like sharp blades, piercing deep into my brain, causing a dull pain.

As I resisted, I thought about what to do next:

——Perhaps it is too late. The hatred in Edgar's heart is too great. In the situation just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the madness had burned his brain. It is better to let him rest in peace.

——But then again, this was Edgar's first epileptic seizure. If I delayed it long enough, and his strength subsided, would there be a turn for the better?

As I hesitated, my eyes involuntarily met Edgar's turbid yellow and red eyes.

Suddenly, the fire spread rapidly and suddenly ignited the hidden pain deep in my mind.

“Aaaaah——” I felt like I was suddenly thrown into an incinerator. The scorching heat gripped me tightly and my brain felt like it was about to melt.

Suddenly, a hole appeared in my chest, and then I was pushed hard and fell backwards.

"Master Zero—"

Why did Melina’s call feel so far away?

I just felt weak in my limbs, my mind was confused, and I couldn't stand up.

——Is this a reaction to an overheated epilepsy?

——After experiencing it myself, I feel that it is a hundred times more intense than in the game. There is no comparison at all.

After all, Ah Ti had the body of a warrior. When he had the epilepsy attack just now, he subconsciously picked up his fangs to block Edgar's attack, thus avoiding a fatal blow.

It was also a conditioned reflex. I fumbled for the Red Dew Drop Holy Grail bottle and couldn't wait to drink it down one after another.

When I regained my strength and came to my senses, the scene before me shocked me greatly—

The turbid fire burned the sky, like the mouth of an abyss, wanting to swallow me alive.

The scorching wind dances wildly, vowing to drag everything into madness.

But all this came to a halt because of her.

The girl's thin and fragile body seemed like a stabilizing force, blocking the man-eating fireworks. Her cloak fluttered, providing me with a shelter.

But Shaoyan had no sympathy. Just as Edgar was about to kick the girl who was in the way, he pulled back his halberd and continued his attack.

"Melina!" I jumped up quickly and swung my sword straight at Edgar's throat, forcing him back.

——It turned out that Edgar was unable to pursue the victory just now because Melina helped me hold on to his halberd tightly, giving me time to recover.

——But Meimei, you...

Melina casually hid her hands behind her cloak and reminded me, "Master Zero, in front."

"Oh, I know." I sighed slightly.

——Or am I too weak? The epilepsy that broke out in Edgar was even worse than in the game.

——But I still hesitated, which caused me to suffer from epilepsy and almost caused Melina's death.

"Haaa--Haaa--Zero! Zero! Die! Die now!" Edgar continued to curse me.

I finally asked, "Edgar, are you really not going to listen to me anymore?"

"Go to hell! I will destroy everything you have, including the woman behind you! Let you also feel the pain of having everything taken away!" Edgar's halberd was also stained with turbid yellow flames.

Moreover, this time, he even planned to include Melina as his revenge target.

——He no longer had the heart of a warrior and had completely turned into a monster.

I watched as Edgar once again grasped the halberd in one hand and rushed towards Melina and me.

"Melina, stand back," I whispered, lifting the hound's tusk onto my shoulder and placing my left hand on it at the same time.

He cut a wound and used rune to draw out the blood, then swung the large curved sword with force, blocking Edgar's piercing thrust while turning back.

Next, the fighting skill - Wolf Attack Blood Dance, two-stage style!

I stepped on the wind and rushed towards Edgar.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Edgar roared loudly subconsciously.

Pray – Reject.

At the same time, the fire of madness also burst out from his body along with the golden shock wave.

——Although this fire was beyond my expectations, your actions were completely within my expectations.

The resistance was only for a moment. With the help of the fast pace of the hound sword skills, I did not attack head-on, but deliberately kept a distance, avoided Edgar's prayer, went behind him, and then swung the long fang with all my strength.

The bloody blade splattered like a scarlet crescent moon, and it hit Edgar's back solidly.

The brutal blow was so severe that not even his armor could withstand it. I tore a huge gap in it and cut a deep wound to Edgar's back that went all the way to his marrow.

But he didn't fall down yet. He gritted his teeth, swung the halberd with both hands, turned around and swept towards me.

Combat skill—Wolf Attack Blood Dance·One Stage, continue to launch!

I did a back flip and quickly created some distance.

And Edgar roared again, and turbid yellow and red flames burst out of his eyes and splashed towards me.

I turned back and circled, creating some distance between me and myself. At the same time, I replaced the shield in my left hand with a pyroxene magic wand, the top of which glowed with the academy's magic symbol.

Magic——pyroxene magic gravel!

The stiffness caused by the crazy fire spray was quite severe. What's more, Edgar had already been overwhelmed. It was also his first time using it and he had no idea how to control the timing of the output.

He was hit on the head by several of my magic pebbles, and was forcibly interrupted and stopped.

"It's time to end." I said casually.

Edgar yelled subconsciously.

- Pray again - refuse? But this trick has no effect on me anymore.

——Besides, you and I are so far away that the first swing of the Hound Sword Technique cannot reach you at all.

It seems that he has completely lost his composure.

Combat skills——Wolf Attack Blood Dance!

While the rejection was ineffective, I used the wheelchair combat skill again and rushed to Edgar from the front. The bloody blade once again used the force of the reverse cassock to split his armor and tear open Edgar's chest.

——But it’s not enough! Monsters won’t fall down easily!

I pulled back my right arm that was swinging out, and touched the blade with my left hand. When Edgar staggered from the previous blow, I slashed at his right shoulder again with force.

Combat skill——Blood slash!

Two bloody blades cut out a huge fork shape on his chest.

Edgar was thrown out as well.

The turbid yellow fire seemed to be extinguished from his eyes. After he fell, he rolled over several times and then fell to the ground, not moving for a long time.

——Avengers, defeated!
