Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After quickly looking me up and down, Servis turned his head and snorted coldly, "You are shameless enough to rummage through other people's private residences. As expected, all of you Faded Ones are superficial and barbaric. Well... Well, since you need something from me, come find me in the magician's tower over there."

After saying this, Servis' figure turned into blue light and dissipated.

——Hey, I thought it was the real body, but it turns out this is also an illusion?

——By the way, this shadow clone move is also a magic in the Elden Ring. It seems that there is no corresponding memory in the game, I wonder if I can learn it in real life.

After leaving Lani's magician tower, I summoned Torret and ran to the last of the three sister towers.

Just as Iggy said, after Lani acknowledged me as a member of Kalia, the pyroxenon Adura did not yell at me angrily like it did in the game. Even when I ran past it, Adura just lay lazily on the ground and yawned.

——Oh, that’s great!

——This way, I can easily plunder the Kalia Castle~

As I was happily recalling the props in Kalia Castle and approaching the Magician's Tower of Selvis, suddenly, a blue shadow seemed to be born from the darkness, jumped down from the sky, and blocked my way.

This guy was big and strong, with a creepy old man's smiling mask on his face. He held two huge weapons like axes in his hands, which were covered with wild beast-like fangs.

Ominous Hunter?! Why did he appear in this place?

Before I could think about it, the other party jumped up, raised two large axes and chopped at me.

"Torret, you go back first!" I quickly jumped off the horse and stepped back.

The evil omen hunter brandished his two swords, like the huge jaws of a beast, constantly opening and closing to bite me.

I kept my distance and jumped back one after another.

Perhaps because he saw that I was too agile, the Evil Omen Hunter puffed out his chest, took a breath, and suddenly sprayed a breath of thick fire at me.

Combat skill - Storm Feet!

I skillfully displayed the fighting skills I created, leaped up on the gust of wind, and even swept up the raging flames, then raised my fangs high and chopped down at the evil omen hunter.

The opponent quickly raised his double swords to block my jumping attack.

I also took advantage of the situation and kicked the Evil Omen Hunter in the chest, causing him to stagger backwards while I did a somersault.

The Ominous Hunter had just gained his footing, and I had already rushed forward like a black panther.

Combat Skills——Blood Slash! Reverse Robe Slash!

puff--

As the bloody blade tore half of the Evil Omen Hunter's body, he turned into a blue light and disappeared like the cuckoo puppets on the wall of Kalia.

When I looked up, I saw that old fox Servis was watching the battle from the door of the magician's tower.

I put away my hound's fangs, stormed in angrily, and shouted, "Servis, what do you mean by this?"

"Shh! Too noisy, keep your voice down." Servis was calmly arranging things on the desk without even looking at me. "It's just a simple test to see what kind of strength you have that makes Princess Ranie so respectful. No one is hurt, right?"

——I’ve already made it through the entire Kalia Castle, and you still want to test me?!

Of course, I actually understood that this guy was probably just retaliating because I had revealed his secret, but for the sake of Lani and future cooperation, I could only swallow my anger and accept Servis's excuse.

"So? What do you want to talk to me about?" I took the initiative to change the subject.

Servis turned around and said, "Why don't you tell me what you want to talk to me about?"

"...Okay, I'll tell you the truth." I sighed and got straight to the point. "I need your puppet, Serolina's puppet."

"Oh~Oh~Oh~" The look in Servis' eyes under the mask changed from surprise to joy, and finally to a hint of cunning, as if he understood me.

——Okay, stop making those oh-oh-oh sounds.

——I’m afraid you’ll start singing “only you” someday.

"What do you want that puppet for?" Selvis asked curiously.

——Of course, it’s for her recovery prayer! After all, I haven’t learned it yet, so I can’t deal with ghost-type enemies at all.

——Therefore, the easiest way is to obtain the puppet of the Finger Witch Serolina from Selvis, and what she is best at is restorative prayer.

Of course, I can't tell Servis the real reason, otherwise who knows if this guy will take advantage of my current weakness to mess with me.

So, I pretended to cough in embarrassment, then raised my voice and said in annoyance, "Isn't it just star fragments? Give it to me or not, just say it."

"Hey, are you an impatient hybrid?" Selvis sighed again, "Although we serve the same master, some things cannot be obtained just by wanting them."

"What do you want me to do?"

"You're smart... Since you're a faded one, you should have been to the Round Table Hall, right?"

I nodded.

"So, do you know a female warrior named Nepheli?" There was an unnatural suppression of joy and desire in Selvis' voice.

I nodded as if I didn't notice anything and said, "Neferi Lu? She is indeed a celebrity among us Faded Ones. And she also takes good care of us newcomers to the hall."

"Oh, that's great!" Said Servis, taking out a bottle of potion from his wide robe and handed it over, "I need you to find a way to get Neferi Lu to drink this potion."

"What is this?" I naturally knew what the thing in my hand was used for.

But looking at this bottle of turbid dark blue liquid, it was like the night sky shrouded in thick fog, which made people feel a little dazed.

"Just as you want to get Serolina, I also want to get that woman's body." The devil whispered in my ear without any scruples, with a terrifying madness revealed in his eyes.

I was a little embarrassed. "Hey, professor, maybe you don't know that Nefeli is the one who defeated Greg of Stonewell. He is a demigod, the offspring of Queen Marica!"

"Oh, so what? You're saying you can't do it?" Service reached out his hand and tried to take the potion back from me. "That's a pity."

But I held the potion tightly, and then said with a smile: "But Nepheli has a fatal weakness, that is, she attaches great importance to her identity as a warrior and is used to fighting alone, so as long as you give me a helper, it will not be a problem to deal with her."

"... Humph, hahaha!" After a moment, Servis couldn't help laughing under his mask, "You are really interesting! I can understand why Princess Ranie chose you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to me: "You have a soul-summoning bell with you, right?"

"Yeah." I took out the bell and handed it to Selvis.

The other party took it, turned around and took out some blue starlight fragments from the desk, rubbed them and crushed them into powder.

Just like a magnet attracts iron filings, the scattered starlight powder was attracted to the Soul Summoning Bell and merged into it. Then, Selvis handed it back to him: "Take it. Consider it my welcome to your new accomplice."

I gently rang the bell, and a ball of blue-white fire ignited in the air. In a blink of an eye, it took the shape of the Finger Witch and fell beside me.

Just like those cuckoo soldiers who were made into puppets, her eyes were dull and she was in a daze, like a robot waiting for orders.

"How is it? Very adorable, isn't it~" Looking at his work, Servis smiled with satisfaction and said, "Since I have fulfilled your little wish, I hope you won't disappoint me, Zero."

Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave me the Finger Witch Serolina, which made me extremely happy: "Of course! I will definitely bring the surprise back to you, Professor!"

——Yes, and it was a huge surprise~
