Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After I took advantage of the Blessed Light's bug-like recovery ability and defeated the three Razli magic swordsmen and three followers guarding the upper level of Kalia Castle, the guards stood on the steps outside the door, staring at me closely, silent, or thinking about how to deal with me.

And I finally had the chance to tell you the real purpose of my coming to Kalia Castle: "In fact, I once met your 'Dark Moon Princess' Lani, and of course I also know that her fate is now sealed, so I plan to discuss a solution with Lani... And, in this way, won't you, the people of the Kalia royal family, be able to realize your wish of revival?"

The remaining magic swordsman who still had some strength left said coldly: "Why should we believe your nonsense?"

I spread my hands and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, Mr. Iggy and Kalia Knight Bols have already believed it, so they let me come."

"Boers?" an attendant asked his companion in a low voice, "I heard that the mountain goblin giant was killed by Dujuan in the previous defense battle?"

"No, he was just imprisoned in the Sealed Prison by the Cuckoo Knight and was rescued by me." Speaking of Bols, I remembered something, so I took out the Kalia badge that Bols gave me from the amulet leather bag and threw it to the magic swordsman, "Look, this is the badge that Bols gave me."

The magic swordsman seemed to still be skeptical. He handed the badge to a follower and said, "Take it to Polyca to see if it belongs to his brother."

——Polica? Could it be that the mountain troll still stuck at the gate is the brother of Bors?

One of the attendants immediately ran to confirm it, while another attendant reminded: "There is also a possibility that this guy killed Boers himself and took away his badge."

"If you don't believe everything I say, you can go to Iggy's place and see where Bols is." I made a gesture of invitation through the door.

However, the magic swordsman said: "The Kalia badge can be integrated into the body as a talisman and become our strength. If Bols doesn't want to give it to us, we can't get the badge even if we kill him. So, we just need to confirm whether this thing belongs to Bols."

Soon, the roar of the mountain demon was heard from the other end of the courtyard, but it did not sound like an angry or warning roar, but rather a roar with a hint of excitement and excitement.

The follower who went to inquire has also returned and nodded to his companions.

For a moment, an atmosphere of embarrassment and disbelief quietly spread among Kalia and the others who were defending the city, causing them to look at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, the magic swordsman took the lead and put away his weapon. He took Bors's Kalia badge, walked up to me, and respectfully handed it back to me with both hands. He said sincerely: "I am very sorry, Faded One, it seems that we have wronged you."

I also breathed a sigh of relief and took the badge back from the other party: "It doesn't matter. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, for me, not having to fight anymore is the best outcome."

The other party also nodded, but looking at the two seriously injured companions in the room, he couldn't help but sigh: "Take them back to recuperate."

I quickly said, "Don't blame me. You were the first to start. I said from the beginning that I came to surrender."

"..." The other party seemed to be holding back something, and finally changed the subject and said, "It is indeed our fault. After all, the Kalia royal family is weak now, Du Juan has repeatedly invaded, and the border area is also in chaos. In order to protect Princess Ranie, we must fight against all the invading guys. Please forgive me for this."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand." I said with a big smile, then rolled my eyes and put my hand on the magic swordsman's shoulder, "Now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, can you help me talk to the Royal Guard Knight Loretta and tell her to stop fighting and let me go~"

"This..." The other party shook his head, "Since you know about Lady Loretta's existence, I won't hide it from you. Lady Loretta has already left Kalia Castle. The one guarding here now is just her incarnation that is protecting Kalia with her will. This is not controlled by anyone. I'm afraid that even if Lady Loretta comes back herself, she will have to fight her."

——Hey, is it really not possible?! I was hoping that I could make a big deal out of a small matter and go directly to see Lani.

Never mind, as long as the guards on the long steps don't get in the way, my biggest worry will have been solved.

It is better to challenge the Royal Guard Knight with dignity!

I packed my equipment, walked up the long steps, and entered the final stage of the trial - the royal moon-viewing area.

In the center of a spacious courtyard, a clear pool of water reflected the light of the sky, just like a full moon. Supported by a group of knights represented by chairs, it became the center of Kalia.

Before I could get close, a blue arc of light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the pool. Even though I subconsciously raised my shield, I was still knocked back several steps by the powerful impact, and my arm was numb with pain.

A pale figure rose up from the full moon pool.

——Royal Guard Knight, Loretta.

Just like a robot, she jumped into the water on her horse without saying a word. She raised her halberd slightly, and the pyroxene at the bottom lit up with Kalia's magic rune, summoning a circle of shining swords to declare war on me.

The next second, Huijian locked onto the target and fired continuously.

——Most magic has a weakness: it is difficult to hit the target if the enemy moves left or right.

Using this feature, I quickly ran to the left and dodged the attack of the brilliant sword. Then I saw Loretta riding her horse straight ahead, then she turned sideways towards me and swung her halberd at me.

This attack range is too wide! I was still three or four meters away from her. Even if I blocked Loretta's attack, the hound's fangs couldn't reach the corner of her clothes.

When he wanted to get closer, the next second, the other person had already driven away on his horses.

hum-

It was the faint sound of magic gathering power.

When he turned around, he encountered the magical bombardment that was like a cannonball at the beginning.

——Loretta’s longbow, horseback archery is also this guy’s famous skill!

I finally dodged it, but then several more pyroxene devil gravels came straight at my face, and I could only continue to roll to avoid them.

The continuous flow of magic was like an endless wave that was about to swallow me up.

I concentrated all my energy and finally found a moment to catch my breath. When I came to my senses and looked for Loretta, she suddenly leaped up on her horse, as if flying into the air, holding her halberd high in the air, and the tip of the blade glowed with a magical blue glow.

Under the dark blue sky, the pale figure was like a god, about to judge me.

——It’s too late to dodge!

I could only quickly gather all my strength into the arm that was holding the brass shield.

The expected attack did not come.

But just as I began to doubt, I heard the sound of water splashing as the warhorse fell to the ground behind me. Almost at the same time, my back felt like it was chopped hard. There was a sharp burning pain and I fell forward uncontrollably.

——It turned out to be the time delay slash!

——The power of this move is naturally not as powerful as a heavy blow from the front.

But when all my attention was focused on defending against the frontal attack, I maximized the attack range of the halberd and was able to easily hit my back.

Did Loretta even deliberately add magic to the blade in order to increase the damage?

——This guy’s skills are truly amazing, is he really just an incarnation?

I quickly drank the Holy Grail bottle to recover. Since I can't deal with her alone, then, three wolf guys, come on!

Jingle Bell--

While there was still some distance between Loretta and me, I quickly rang the spirit bell.

"Awoo--" As soon as the three ghost wolves came out, they dispersed like lightning and attacked Loretta from three different angles.

But Loretta didn't take the ghost wolf seriously at all. She rode her warhorse back lightly. At the same time, the pyroxene at the bottom of the halberd lit up and swept it casually.

Several Kalia shining swords appeared beside her and shot at the three wolves respectively, making it difficult for even such a nimble ghost wolf to get close.

——However, I naturally know that the ghost ashes that have not been upgraded cannot restrict Loretta.

——All I need is to disperse her attacks to buy me that tiny bit of time, just like now!

While the targets of the shining swords were scattered, I followed the three wolves, cut my left hand with my long fangs, drank the blood thirstily, leaped back, dodged the two shining swords, strode onto the gale, and rushed forward.

Combat skills——Wolf Attack Blood Dance!

In an instant, he finally closed the distance with Loretta and rushed into the attack range of Changya.

The bloody blade slashed violently!

But just when I saw the blow was about to land on the opponent, Loretta pulled her horse and leaped to the side, creating distance and thus greatly reducing the damage of Wolf Attack Blood Dance.

The moment I raised my head in surprise, she had already drawn the magic bow. The bright blue glow, like a star that could bring death, took away my eyes and thoughts.

——It’s over!
