Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

I go! I go! I go!

I rushed along the main road of Kalia Castle. The footsteps behind me almost turned into a raging wave that was about to swallow me up.

If you have ever seen a B-grade horror movie about giant spiders, can you imagine the feeling of being chased by countless giant spiders? I am in a similar situation now. If I am a step slower, I will probably be crushed into mud by these giant spider-like monsters.

Fortunately, these guys can't spit silk remotely, otherwise there would be no way to escape.

Bang!

There was another sound of breaking ground in front of me, and I saw another giant hand monster suddenly emerged from the ground and came towards me.

——Damn it, there are a lot more monsters hiding here than in the game!

I ran quickly, reciting the prayer rune in my mind - throw on fire!

The moment the flame ignited from the palm of his hand, he immediately threw it at the guy in front of him who was sandwiching him.

The high temperature burned it so much that it rolled on the ground, giving me the opportunity to run past it, while also more or less blocking the guys behind it who were also afraid of fire.

Oh! In front of us is the corridor leading to the high wall of the fortress!

As long as I can run in...

In my peripheral vision, a red-purple light suddenly shot out from my side, blocking the door between me and the finish line.

——It’s the hand monster’s unique magic! And it’s a binding magic!

The other party's calculation was just right. Just as I was about to step onto the steps in front of the door, the magic ball of light suddenly exploded.

If I dodge, there will be a bunch of hand monsters behind me! They can turn me into A-Tu-chan in an instant!

If I continue to run forward, I will be hit by a magic, and like in the game, a magic rope will instantly appear, tying up my hands and feet and restraining me! I will still become Ah Tui!

——I can only believe Newton!

I didn't dare to stop, but instead jumped up and flew forward.

Just like in the game, in an instant, the light of the magic ball transformed into a red and purple rope, tightly wrapping me up.

But due to inertia, I still hit the door at the bottom of the building and fell in.

Boom!

dong dong dong-

One after another, the giant hand monsters crashed into the wall outside the door, causing the city wall to shake slightly and scattering some dust.

I quickly struggled to untie the magic rope and immediately rushed to the door.

At the critical moment, they finally closed the wooden door at the bottom of the building, preventing the smaller hand monsters from coming in and causing trouble.

"Haaa - haaa - it's really, really life-threatening, so inhumane." The moment the door was locked, my extremely rapid breathing made me realize that I was still alive. My legs went weak and I sat down under the door frame, my whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Fortunately, there is a wooden door here in the real world! And it is open!

Otherwise, I'll have to explain myself here today.

Suddenly, a pale figure appeared in the room in front of him, and the other party was wearing a complete set of Kalia Knight armor!

——Mugram, why is that guy here!?

But the other person had been sitting on the chair next to the bookshelf, with his head down and not moving.

I swallowed and moved closer cautiously, but even when I got in front of him, there was still no reaction.

So, I touched the other person's shoulder, and an echo came from my mind: "······Lady Lani, I have been waiting for you. Please revive the royal family. May the full moon be with Kalia!"

After saying this, he disappeared.

It turned out to be just a remnant of a certain Kalia Knight, not Mugram.

That's right, even if there are differences between the game and reality, they won't be so different that the guy who is still guarding the insane Queen Reinara in the academy will be airdropped here. Otherwise, there will be no way for him to survive!

I turned and walked up the stairs. The second floor looked like a prayer hall, with neatly arranged chairs, but it was empty.

Further up, there was a small attic, and there seemed to be a faint rustling sound coming from inside, like that of a mouse.

——It should be Biddi, a servant of the Kalia royal family.

However, it would be useless to go up now. Besides, I didn't have enough runes to buy anything good. I sat down beside the blessing in the prayer hall, took a breath and rested.

——Next, it was the intricate maze of the walls of Kalia Castle. The monsters here were mainly ghost-like cuckoo knights, and the difficulty was not high, but they would appear and disappear at will, and double-team Atie from front and back.

——Also, the city wall is quite narrow, so you have to be careful not to fall down when dodging.

However, I remember the location of every cuckoo ghost clearly. As long as I am careful, I should be fine.

Besides, I was being chased by those big guys just now and had no time to explore the courtyard on the ground floor.

This time, at least I can get a divine weapon, the "Sword of Li and Pu", oh, no, it's the Sword of Night and Fire!

- The light attack skill can release the "Night Comet", which is the youth version of "Azrael's Comet", which turns magic power into a fountain of light and bursts out;

——A heavy blow unleashes the power of fire, sweeping away everything in front of it with a wild dance.

No matter which one it is, it has quite good cutting ability.

For me, the only pity is that I probably won’t be able to use it after I get it. After all, I’m only at the Tenth Wisdom level, and the Sword of Night and Fire must be upgraded to 24 points in terms of intelligence and faith.

——But as the saying goes, I can do without it, but I can’t live without it! Besides, being handsome is a lifelong thing!

Having made up my mind, I walked out of the prayer room carrying the hound's fang. There was a straight road in front of me. When I reached the intersection with the beacon tower on the city wall, the road split into two. If I turned left, I could get the Sword of Night and Fire, while if I continued forward, it would lead to the superstructure of Kalia Castle, which is the route to find Lani in the Sister Tower on the back mountain.

Ah, here it comes.

Just like puppet characters suddenly added into a puppet show, the two Cuckoo Knights suddenly landed on the city wall.

Their eyes were dull and lifeless. When they saw me, they mechanically picked up their crossbows and pulled the trigger at me.

when--

I charged forward with my shield held high, swung my hound's fang to break the opponent's defense, and stabbed him in the chest again. While the ghost's entity had not disappeared yet, I used it as a shield to block the azalea that the knight behind me threw out, and continued to charge forward.

The moment the ghost disappeared, I had already rushed to the next guy, swung my sword, and chopped off the head of another ghost.

Phew~ So easy, so easy~

I blew a whistle. There were two cuckoos holding big swords under the beacon tower in front. After taking care of them, I could get the Sword of Night and Fire!

Let's go~

But just as I took a step, there was a loud noise behind me.

Turning back, my pupils suddenly dilated a little.

It was as if the hand of a Colossal Titan had grabbed hold of Wall Maria, and at the same time, a tense and urgent alarm sounded in my mind.

It turned out to be a large monster with a giant hand, and it actually grabbed onto the city wall! ?

Moreover, the sound of the battle just now seemed to have attracted the hand monsters that were originally blocked at the gate on the ground floor. The small hand monsters came forward and actually climbed up directly by grabbing the city wall.

——You guys are really spiders! Or is it Spider-Man who had his hand chopped off and turned into a monster? !

I was shocked and turned around and rushed forward.

hum-

As if it was premeditated, the ghost cuckoo was placed in front of me like a chess piece.

What once again exceeded my expectations was that this time, there were not just two of them! Instead, all the cuckoos that were originally on the city wall were awakened. They were like zombies, roaring and rushing towards me regardless of the distance.

"Get out of my way!" Before the big hand monster behind me caught up, I quickly used a Wolf Attack and Blood Dance to slash the guy in front of me, and at the same time did a somersault and jumped back. The next second, I was moving forward at full speed on the wind.

“Ah... flesh, flesh, strong flesh! Give it to me!” The ghost cuckoos swarming over the narrow wall almost blocked the entire road.

Seeing that I had broken into their crowd using the second stage of the Hound Step, they swung their swords even more frantically, not caring whether they would hurt their companions.

I didn't dare to delay at all. I quickly gathered the rune magic power under my feet and then jumped hard.

Combat skill - Storm Feet!

The magic power turned into a hurricane, which not only lifted me up, but also blew the cuckoos around me off their feet, interrupting their attacks.

When I jumped high into the air, I couldn't help but glance back.

Those big-handed monsters were even more unscrupulous, charging forward like chariots, and even pushing the ghost cuckoos that were blocking their way off the city wall.

The little hands were like spider cubs, more agile and rushed towards me directly along the side of the city wall.

I just felt goosebumps all over my body.

——This is too unscientific!

——But it also seems a bit scientific. After all, weren’t the two big hand monsters I saw when I entered the Kalia Castle lying on the city wall, and they fell down to attack me?

Moreover, throughout the city, there are many hand monsters lying on the walls as traps, but the game gives Atai and others a way to survive, so it is not designed this way. But in reality, the designers of the traps don’t want to give invaders any way to survive!

——Stinky Lani!

I stepped on the shoulder of the next cuckoo ghost, and at the same time, I continuously condensed almost all of the rune magic under my feet. No matter what object I stepped on, I would immediately release the combat skill "Storm Foot".

In the blink of an eye, I had mastered the skill of floating on water without any instruction. I actually stepped on the cuckoos and ran behind these guys, getting rid of the obstruction.

Without daring to stop for a moment, I continued to rush towards the end of the city wall, the tower built against the mountain.

It was not until I stepped onto the elevator that I remembered that I was so nervous that I seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and I couldn't stop gasping for air.

——What sword of night and fire? How can it be more important than your life!

——I don’t dare to come to this ghost town a second time.
