Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

“...I am willing to follow the guidance of the blessing, Lord Faded. With your company, I will do my best to fulfill your wish and become the King of Elden, so...”

——Look, it’s indeed a confession!

In this chaotic and dangerous world, the Faded Man and the Finger Witch, who traveled together, stayed with each other, experienced all kinds of hardships, and defeated one powerful enemy after another... It is said that under the suspension bridge effect, the outbreak of hormones can easily make both parties fall in love, not to mention that Faded Man and the Finger Witch walk on the suspension bridge every day.

——Hey, someday, I wish I could build a suspension bridge with a piece of wood.

——Although, compared to the number of times Meimei appeared in the game, but, people are always unsatisfied~

I sighed in my heart and, at the same time, out of curiosity, I secretly glanced into the smoke-burning church.

Inside the dilapidated open-air church, a man and a woman were lying on the ground, with the man at the bottom and the woman at the top. Even though the witch was still wearing her iconic long dress, their movements were quite intense!

——Oh, oh my! Is this so exciting?

——Although it is close to dusk at this time, it is a bit shameless to do this while it is still daylight.

From the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Laya who was also watching with great interest like me, so I quickly covered her eyes with my hands.

"Zero?" Laya immediately said in confusion, "I can't see it."

——It is to prevent you from seeing the even more inappropriate scenes for children that may appear next!

It was probably Laya's voice that reached the witch's ears, and she actually stopped moving.

It would be so embarrassing if I were caught, peeping at a young couple... I felt my face blushing and was about to leave carefully with Laya.

But inside, the witch chuckled: "Hehe, no matter how many times, it feels so wonderful, Lord Fader! This way, we can be together forever."

——It’s over? So soon?

——But no matter what, what happens next has nothing to do with us, so I'd better take Laya with me to avoid suspicion.

"So..." Just as I was thinking this, the witch slowly stood up and turned her eyes. Her delicate face had a few strands of hair falling down, which made her look a little messy and made people feel nervous. Her smile was pure and bright, but it was made up with blood. "Who is outside?"

The voice was still as gentle and graceful as before, but I trembled all over and felt creepy.

The witch turned around, and her long dress, which should have been light gray and white, was stained with large patches of blood, just like her face. Of course, the blood did not come from her, but from the heart she held in her hand... Oh, it's better to say that it came from the poor guy on the ground who was disemboweled by her!

——They are not doing anything inappropriate at all, but another kind of bizarre R18 activity that is not suitable for children!

—Devour the Faded, Anastasia!

If I remember the name correctly, the woman in front of me might have been relying on her gorgeous and alluring face to seduce innocent people and then hunt them down.

I glanced around and found that Torrett had not disappeared yet. However, it was obvious that the strong smell of blood emanating from Anastasia had made it quite uncomfortable, and its body became unstable as if it was about to dissipate.

"Laya, you and Torrett go first!" I stood at the door of the church.

When Anastasia saw me, her face seemed to become even more rosy, and her tone couldn't help but reveal a full joy: "Ah, you are also a faded lord~ It's really an honor today, are you willing to travel with me?"

"Hold, sorry, I already have company."

"Really? That's a pity." Anastasia sighed dejectedly, "... But that means, as long as that companion is gone, you will be willing to accept me, right? Ahahaha~"

After saying that, this guy suddenly sprang out like a cheetah and rushed out of the church.

——Is her target Laya? !

"Torret, take Laya away!" Laya, this silly girl, would probably take her time to watch the battle and not notice the danger. Therefore, I could only trust my old friend and quickly pulled out the hound's fang.

"Ahaha, do you want to dance with me?" Anastasia dragged her dismemberment knife, which was as big as half a person, in one hand and swung it at me without saying a word.

I subconsciously picked up the tusk and chopped it back.

——I thought I was the macho man who had upgraded his strength, and the opponent was a female character, so I should have the advantage anyway.

But with just one strike, Anastasia used her incomparable domineering power to chop me so hard that I almost lost my balance. The hound's fangs collided with her dismemberment knife, just like a wolf encountering a tiger, and were directly bounced and almost flew away.

“Ahahaha, Lord Faded One.” Anastasia’s eyes glowed red with excitement. She laughed and swung her knife at me again. “Please accept me! This is such a painful and suffering land. Let me, Anastasia, lead you to become the King of Elden!”

Her skills were more sophisticated than I had imagined. It wasn't just brute force. Anastasia was adept at converting the rotational potential energy of the large weapon in her hand into the kinetic energy of the swing. If she failed to hit her with the first strike, she would just spin around and attack again.

Just as she said, she danced with the knife, and each blow was heavier than the last. Her whole body gradually turned into a gyroscope, and then rolled up a storm, swallowing me in without any explanation.

I was so suppressed that I gritted my teeth and used all my strength to barely block her attack, but Anastasia was doing it with ease, chattering non-stop: "·······Five, six, seven, eight·······You can actually take me so many times, I like it! I like it! I like it! Please accept all of me, Lord Faded!"

——What a crazy woman!

But in the split second when the thought came to my mind, I was distracted and blocked an attack that I shouldn't have blocked. The hound's fangs flew out of my numb arm and fell to the side.

And the next blow will soon fall on my shoulder.

"Lord Faded~" With eyes as red as a ghost, Anastasia laughed joyfully, as if she was sure of victory.

But, combat skill - Storm Foot! Full output!

I thought quickly and pushed my feet back hard, creating a barrier with the storm.

Although Anastasia was strong, she had no armor and her toughness was very low. This move was one of the best ways to restrain her.

puff--

But the dismemberment knife came with such force that it tore through the storm and left a shallow cut on my shoulder.

Fortunately, the opponent also lost his balance and staggered, and was unable to continue chasing.

I quickly jumped up and picked up the hound's tusk from the ground.

Anastasia also stood firm, and once again smiled charmingly and said, "What an interesting move, Lord Fader. But why are you so unwilling to accept me? I am the finger witch who came here to guide you at the behest of Lord Two Fingers."

“······Huh?” I took a breath and pointed at the heart in her hand. “If I accept you, I will become like that too.”

"Isn't this good? This way we can be together forever." Anastasia actually showed a simple and innocent expression. She held the heart and put it on her face. "This way, I can feel the power of you adults. All the hardships from now on will be borne by me, Anastasia. Let's repair the Elden Ring together and become the true king of the borderland."

"...Will this be too much trouble for you?" I couldn't help but say something sarcastically about Anastasia's crazy idea, "Besides, I prefer to fight in person. It gives me a sense of reality that I'm alive."

"Really? That's a pity." Anastasia said this but rushed towards me again without hesitation. "I fell in love with you at first sight. Why are you so determined?"

"If I'm not more decisive, I'll become your collection!" I have completely mastered Anastasia's attack mode. The battle with her is a fight for the initiative!

Combat skill - Storm Foot!

I stepped hard on the ground.

"Hahaha, I won't fall for the same trick again~" Anastasia jumped up and stepped onto the storm. She raised the dismemberment knife high in both hands and pinched it towards me like the claws of a giant beast.

——But if this happens, you can’t hide anymore.

I took a deep breath, used my hand as a sheath, drew my sword, and swung with all my strength, creating a scarlet crescent moon, slashing at Anastasia who was helpless and full of flaws in mid-air.

when!

She seemed to have barely managed to hold back the first attack, blocking it with the dismemberment kitchen knife.

But a sword technique flashed quickly through my mind, and my body followed suit, restraining the slashing force of the reverse cassock. I held the sword with both hands, raised it above my head, then took a big step forward, chasing with long teeth, and slashing down.

This is the secret technique - Ashina Cross Slash!
