Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Well, if you want to talk about a celebration, it is indeed a celebration!

——Isn’t it a happy thing to be able to eliminate the Blackthorn Death Curse that permeates the city?

I smiled awkwardly at the people around me and defended myself in my heart.

At this time, Edson Hyde appeared on the main stage of the central square and cleared his throat: "Ahem, thank you for coming, warriors. We at Stonewell are ready, please follow me."

After saying that, Edson led his men into the elevator room next to the main stage.

"Let's go." Roger patted my shoulder.

I paid attention to his ankles. It seemed that there were no cursed black thorns. But I thought of Edgar and Haida. Even though I hid Irena's body, they still embarked on their own destiny...

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly grabbed Roger and made an excuse to get him out of the way: "Roger, you've already explored the area thoroughly, right? Don't go over there. I need you to bring someone to help me with something else."

Roger looked at me for a long time, then smiled and nodded in agreement: "Since you have asked, I can't refuse. Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"In fact, I found Edgar, the lord of Morn City, in Lienia, but he has met with disaster." I sighed, "I brought him back to the courtyard of the throne. So, I would like to ask you to go find Diros and his brothers. After you deal with the dead prince, you have to hold a funeral for Edgar as well."

"I understand. Then go say hello to Edson." Roger turned and walked towards the main gate of Stonewell.

I also breathed a sigh of relief and followed the large group toward the underground of Stonewell.

Unexpectedly, in just about a week, the road leading from the elevator room to the Death Curse Pit was cleared, the ruins and garbage were cleared away, the broken walls and stone walls were repaired, and ladders and scaffolding were installed.

Before reaching the big pit, the remains and bones inside had been cleared away.

Under the dead prince's face, two concentric circles had already been drawn with golden powder, and in the gap between the two circles, densely packed runes were written.

Several prophets dressed similarly to Mr. Colin could be seen surrounding the dead prince's face, reciting prayers.

Meanwhile, the Xiaohu warriors were drawing the golden tree rune in these two concentric circles.

"Hunting Death" D and the other Faded Ones were on standby, while the witches were at the end, ready to restore everyone.

I found Edson, walked up to him, and greeted him: "Mr. Edson."

"Oh, Lord Ling, when did you come back?" Edson was slightly surprised.

I also briefly told him the unfortunate news that I had found Edgar, but it was too late.

Edson sighed helplessly: "I didn't expect that the lord would encounter such a thing. It's really a pity... After the matter here is over, I will send someone to bury him, so that Lord Edgar can return to the tree in peace."

"Thank you very much." I changed the subject. "By the way, I didn't expect you to gather so many people. This should be able to completely solve the Blackthorn Death Curse."

"This is all thanks to Lord Roger. He went all the way to Gaileed and found a lot of helpers for us." Edson smiled bitterly again, "However, that lord was a little too careless. From now on, everyone in Stonewell will have to work harder."

"Ha, what did that guy do again?" I was a little curious.

Edson glanced around and whispered in my ear, "The runes that Lord Roger promised to give them are a little too much. It's beyond my budget."

——Um, I can’t help you with this question right now.

——After all, I only met "Manager Bai" Fan Lei and haven't gone to the Blood Bank to see the president.

——Besides, I didn’t have much time to farm Rune, so I was just busy struggling.

However, I was a little curious: "Speaking of which, Edson, we Faded Ones can take Runes from others, but how can you ordinary people get Runes without fighting?"

Edson smiled slightly. "With the blessing of Queen Marica, even if we do nothing, a little rune will be produced in our bodies under the grace of the golden tree. Of course, the main way to obtain rune is to hunt monsters in the wild, and they will obtain rune from lower-level animals or even plants."

——It is similar to photosynthesis and food chain, which are combined with each other.

——No wonder the higher the level of the game, the more runes you get from battles.

——Marika is worthy of being the Eternal Queen. If the Golden Dynasty really designed the entire natural order exactly as she wanted, eternity might not be a dream.

"Be careful, the deadly poison mist is erupting! Everyone, be prepared!" Suddenly, someone shouted from the front.

I saw a thick black fog, accompanied by some scattered golden runes, gushing out from the face of the dead prince.

The golden runes of the golden tree began to take effect. The prophets led by Teacher Colin stood in the outer circle and prayed, and actually suppressed all the fog of the death curse into the hemispherical barrier formed by the inner circle.

But the ground began to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, a pale bony hand stretched out from the soil and grabbed Edson's ankle.

Oh, it's not just one arm. The black land in front of him had already been soaked with the death curse, and withered hands were growing like weeds.

It was like the zombies coming out of the cage in a B-grade blockbuster. The undead were also struggling to get out of the ground and roaring at the living.

"Edson, leave first!" I kicked away the withered hand that was holding Edson, and then shouted to the other exiles stationed, "The weakness of the Deathborn is the head. Destroying the head can prevent them from being resurrected multiple times!"

"What if there is no head?"

"Then pull the man out from underground and chop off his head!"

"No need to go through so much trouble, leave it to me!" "Hunting Death" D rushed over, stood still, and suddenly opened his arms.

Suddenly, the basic runes of the Golden Holy Law appeared on his chest, and then transformed into rune light, spreading from the soles of his feet.

The light spreads out in a net-like structure and fan-shaped.

Once touched by the holy light, these dead borns instantly fell to the ground and would never be resurrected, not to mention those who had not yet crawled out, thus saving the subsequent burial procedures.

Prayer - Correction of Holy Law.

"That's great!" I couldn't help but praise.

——However, this prayer with high lethality to the dead requires seventeen intelligences and seventeen faiths to learn, and A-ti, who has ten wisdoms, sighed in despair.

D just glanced at me, then left and continued to deal with the dead borns crawling out from various parts of the death pit.

Soon, under his leadership, all the Deathborn were annihilated.

Teacher Colin and his colleagues were also making considerable progress. The thick black fog had become thinner, and the face of the dead prince could be vaguely seen again.

"It's really troublesome. We've already cleared out the skeletons, but the dead still came out." I sighed helplessly, "Can this face awaken the dead spirits in the land?"

"I heard that there was originally a rotten tree spirit here. I'm afraid it was that thing that brought these remains underground. You have shaken the foundation of those dead borns, so they will naturally appear to stop you." Lord Baizhi appeared behind me unknowingly and answered my question. "But, they are just some dross and pose no threat... You see, it's over."

Just as Baizhi said, the smoke from the death curse in the golden rune has completely dissipated.

The dead prince's originally bloated face had deflated like a balloon that had been deflated.

Then, a ball of red fire was thrown out from Colin's hand, burning fiercely, and everything would turn into ashes.

——However, when Mr. Colin used the fire-throwing prayer, his expression was a little solemn, as if he was still afraid of this power, which symbolized destruction to him.

"In this way, Stonewell's troubles are finally over." Baizhi turned his head leisurely and asked me, "By the way, there is one thing I want to ask Mr. Ling."

"······What's up?"

"You seem to know where that girl Nefeli went... Could it be that, young man, you have found something in Lienia?" It was still so dark under the old man's helmet that his expression could not be seen clearly.

But I could clearly feel that the overwhelming cold light was like a sharp blade, as if it wanted to dig out my brain and my heart to find out what was inside.
