Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Under the glory of the golden tree, the Eternal Queen blessed all living beings with rune magic, giving them nearly immortal bodies, while the souls of all living beings are mostly contained in their bone marrow.

Therefore, for a life that has only a soul but no body, like a dead person, there is only one answer!

"Come out! The Lost Knight, Ingwill!"

Jingle Bell--

······

Ah, haha, the soul-summoning bell doesn't seem to be responding.

Only the wind was blowing, so cold that it felt like a slap in the face. Although the rain had decreased, it still pricked my heart like a needle.

My back gradually became hunched under Laya's expectant gaze and D's confused gaze, and finally my legs went weak and I knelt on the ground.

——Sure enough, for some things, momentum alone is useless, and if the attributes are not enough, it cannot be summoned at all!

I also wanted Ingwill to attract the Summoning Ship over, and start with the combat skill "Storm Foot", followed by "Call the Storm", and finally "Storm Attack", a set of silky small combos, like beating up Ati, and beat the ferryman on the Summoning Ship so hard that he was stiff and off balance. After that, the rest of us would rush forward and finish him off.

But... As expected, after only adding wisdom twice, my attributes are still not enough. Twelve Wisdom Ah Tu is not qualified to invite the big guys to come out, even if I add the blue amber pendant, it is not enough!

——Originally, I thought the numbers were about right, and with a little bit of momentum, I might be able to summon it.

——After all, in the real world, the total amount of magic power each A-Tai possesses is not a fixed value, but is in a fluctuating state. This is also the basic knowledge that Teacher Se Lian taught me.

——But no means no, right?

"The idea of ​​using ashes as bait is a good one, but... are you okay?" D actually cares about others.

I shook my head helplessly and stood up to show that I was fine.

However, since Ingwill refused to come out, my idea failed again.

——As for puppets, I’m not sure if it will be effective. After all, that guy Servis still has their bodies preserved.

——In the ashes, although the three wolves are very aggressive, their strength is not enough. They can be used most effectively in group fights. But here, you are talking about group fights? They are all dead borns in the same village, who can group fight who?

——Letina is the Platinum Child who cannot move her feet.

——Wandering nobles? Noble magicians? What the hell is this?

——As for Klurara, being cute is enough.

Therefore, all things considered, only the "Lost Knight" Ingwill is the best choice, but he doesn't respond to me!

······Let’s find another way.

"Lord Ling." Suddenly, along with the breeze, someone's voice came to my ears.

The soul-summoning bell in my hand also shook slightly, and then I saw a blue shadow appear in front of us.

"Letina, what's wrong?" I didn't expect that the Son of Platinum would take the initiative to find me, which made me curious.

——This should have nothing to do with her branch line.

And Laya also recognized him: "You are the one from the Crystal Cave!"

"Hello, both of you." Letina bowed slightly to us, then looked at me and said, "Master Ling, I just learned about the situation you are facing. I have an idea. I wonder if you are willing to try it."

"Oh?"

······

In the Shuihuan village, a pale girl sat quietly on the stone steps of a dilapidated house, listening to the sound of dripping water, and looking up at the gray sky with drizzling rain with sad eyes.

"Zero, is this really okay?" Laya and I hid behind a corner a little further away, observing the outside.

"Well, according to what D said, the Deadborn don't actually have eyesight. They rely on their perception of rune magic and temperature to identify their opponents." I explained in a low voice, "And the Platinum Sons are not life in the orthodox sense, but a man-made product. Therefore, they are similar to corpses, with no temperature but high concentrations of magic."

-By the way, the Letina in the real world is not just ordinary ashes, but a spiritual being more similar to Melina.

——In other words, maybe by ringing the summoning bell, you can summon Melina...but it doesn't seem necessary.

woo-

A low horn sounded slowly from the village, so soft that it seemed to come from underwater.

The land around Letina also began to stir, stones rolled, water splashed, and skeletons emerged from the ground, standing beside Letina like a forest.

But they did not attack Letina immediately like in the game. Instead, they took the initiative to make way for her.

The water was pushed aside by a golden pole, and the pale old man rowing the boat slowly approached Letina, as if he was trying to identify her identity.

"Please take me away... My people and everything I have have been taken away. What's the point of continuing to live in this world?" Letina whispered softly, lamenting her tragic experience. "So, please take me away, to the shadowy land... It would be best if my soul could perish with me."

The overlapping shadows of the dead made it impossible to see what was going on inside.

But my soul-calling bell rang gently.

boom--

Almost at the same time, a loud noise was heard from the entrance of Shuihuan Village.

D started to act.

"Ah - fresh blood, fresh meat! I want it, I want it, I want it! Give it to me now!"

"It's him, it's him, it's that guy! I can recognize his power!"

······

The Dead Borns suddenly became noisy and rushed towards D in a crowd, while the shadow of the Calling Ship disappeared, avoiding this difficult opponent.

Letina also disappeared at the same time. Was she really treated as a soul in need of ferries and boarded the Calling Boat?

Jingle bell bell~

The soul-summoning bell rang four times again, and Laya and I looked at each other.

——The secret code came: It’s Dong!

"It's time to go, Laya." I said to Laya, "Be careful not to be discovered."

Laya nodded: "No problem."

——According to the plan, we divided the entire Shuihuan Village into four areas in the shape of an "X". D was the main force to attract the first and largest number of dead borns. Afterwards, I used the magic power connected to Letina as an insider and used the sound of the summoning bell as a signal to determine the approximate location of the summoning ship.

——One tone is north, two tones are south, three tones are west, and four tones are east.

"Let's go!" We wrapped ourselves in a piece of black rag for cover and rushed out of our hiding place.

Outside, D is worthy of being called "Hunting Death".

Countless dead were rushing towards him like a tide, but the golden light of the Golden Law was so dazzling that it was like a golden storm among these corpses that had lost their minds. Once they got close, the weak skeletons would be blown away.

While he was attracting the deadborn, I summoned Torret and Laya and quickly moved towards the eastern area of ​​Shuihuan Village.

The range was reduced, and without the deadborn in the way, Torrett soon caught the sound of the horn of the call ship, and I hurriedly shouted: "Laya, come this way!"

I saw that the calling boat was slowly rowing towards the outside of the village, and the pale figure on the bow was Letina.

I pulled out the holy water bottle that D and I had made from my pocket and threw it at the old man on the calling boat.

Bang!

The golden holy water immediately poured over the old man's entire body, making him feel as if he was trapped in a blazing fire. He let out a heart-wrenching scream that hurt people's eardrums.

——As expected of an item specially designed to deal with undead creatures, the quadruple damage effect is remarkable!

The other party turned around and saw us chasing after him, so he slightly adjusted the direction of the boat, then picked up the golden horn that served as an oar, and suddenly splashed the water on the side of the boat towards us.

"Laya, be careful!" I reminded her quickly.

——The water has a slightly black and red hue, perhaps the power of the Death Rune still remains.

The next second, the sound of a horn rang out along with the sound of the wind, and one dead-born after another crawled out from underneath.

And the Natibia's calling ship disappeared into the crowd in a flash.

——But this is also what we expected.

"Laya, there are still six holy water bottles. You must use them carefully." I reminded her, "Use your speed to lead these guys in a circle. Unless it is absolutely necessary, or when the call ship comes back, use the holy water bottle again."

"No problem, leave it to me, Zero~" Laya's eyes sparkled, and her face was full of eagerness to try.

I nodded, and this time, the soul-summoning bell rang twice.

"Torret, let's go!" I quickly pulled the spirit horse and ran towards the south of Shuihuan Village.

The scope was narrowed again, so it took me less time to find him.

Ling Torrett ran quickly towards the back of the Calling Ship. I wiped my sword with blood, and when I got close, I suddenly jumped up: "This time, you can't escape!"

——Don’t your dead bodies like blood and flesh? Then...

Combat skill——Blood slash!

The hound's fangs fell like thunder. I drew a falling dragon in the air with my blood, opened my bloody mouth and bit directly into the opponent's body.

But I didn't expect that the old man in the hailing boat still had the strength. He lifted the bow and rowed forward, and actually caught a huge wave. He even blew the horn, controlled the wave, and turned the direction, like a huge beast's mouth, wanting to swallow me in one bite.

I immediately pulled out my sword, spun around, and did a backward flip to create some distance between me and the opponent. When he approached, I used the second part of the Hound Sword Technique and turned at lightning speed to continue to create distance between me and him.

The old man in the calling boat, who was riding the death waves and rushed back to the ground, lost his target in an instant and turned around in a daze to look for me.

"I'm here!" I have already borrowed the storm feet and soared into the air again, and slashed down again with the posture of a falling dragon.

bass!

"Ah——" The old man let out another sharp roar, and strands of golden Rune light emanated from his body.

——Is this guy also a rune life similar to the "evil omen demon"?

I hesitated for just a moment, and the horn sounded again, and scattered dead borns emerged from around me.

The old man on the calling boat paddled hard and disappeared into the shadows.

However, as D said, the population of the entire Shuihuan Village is limited, and the total number of dead borns that the Calling Ship can summon is naturally limited. Compared with the first wave, the number here can almost be counted on one's fingers.

——So, even if you continue to play cat and mouse with us and run back and forth, where can you escape to this time?

Not long after, a blue-silver arrow shot into the sky from the north.

The clouds dissipated and after raining for most of the day, the sky gradually cleared up.

I crushed the skulls of the dead born with one foot, and they finally rested in peace and returned to the earth.
