Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

The sky was dyed scarlet.

It was clearly night, but the time in Gaileed seemed to have stopped at the moment when the goddess of corruption descended. All things fell into a terrible silence. Under this scarlet curtain, they gradually decayed and turned into dust. With the surging wind, there was a constant wailing on this land.

As soon as Laya and I walked out of Gale's Cave, we were choked by the dryness and dust that blew in our faces. We couldn't stop coughing. It even felt like our lungs were filled with rotten fungi, and they were so blocked that it hurt every time we coughed.

"Is this your first time in Gallid? Take this." The Latan soldier who brought us out handed us two pieces of red coarse cloth, and he himself had covered his mouth and nose with the cloth.

Naturally, Laya and I both accepted his kindness.

"If you want to participate in the general's battle festival, you'd better hurry up." The soldier said, pointing to the south, "Our Gale Fortress is over there. We can get to Red Lion City as soon as possible through the portal."

Looking in the direction of his finger, I could only vaguely glimpse a black shadow, like a mirage, hidden in the wind and dust.

"Thank you. Let's set off as soon as possible." I summoned Torret and let Laya sit on it first. I also prepared the holy mark on my finger so that I could cast the prayer "Healing of Flame" in time.

——After all, it is very likely that just by walking on the road, you will be infected with scarlet corruption, just like in Platinum Village.

"Hmm?" Laya suddenly reached out and touched her head, "Is it raining?"

"Raining?" I didn't feel anything, but looked up curiously.

On the rock wall beside the road, a big black head appeared, with big round red eyes, just like the greedy Laya, staring at us and drooling.

Even though I was four or five meters away, I seemed to hear the low growl coming from its throat, and my eyelids could not help but tremble slightly along with the corners of its bared teeth.

——Haha, I knew it.

"Torret, run!" I pulled the reins and immediately quickened Torret's pace.

Soon there was a dull stomping sound behind him, followed by a roar that sounded like neither a wolf nor a dog: "Woof-ah--"

"Wow, what a big dog!" Laya still had the mind to look back.

I also casually complained: "That's not a dog at all, it's a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Tyrannosaurus Rex? What kind of dragon is Tyrannosaurus Rex? I don't think I've ever seen a dragon that looks like this."

“······Now is not the time to study encyclopedias, let’s run for our lives first!” Torrett carried us out of the cliff path, but we didn’t expect that there were several huge black shadows beside us.

Are they all those hungry giant bullies? Did they hear the howling of their companions and come to snatch the prey?

The guy closest to us couldn't wait to open his mouth wide, stick to the ground, and rush towards us like a bulldozer.

——Both of them were riding Torret, which couldn’t run fast at all and couldn’t do a double jump.

I clicked my tongue and handed over the reins in my hand: "Laya, take it!"

"Eh?"

"Torret, jump!" After saying that, I pushed myself up with both hands and fell to the side.

At the same time, Torrett followed my order and jumped twice to avoid the giant wild dog that was like a bulldozer, and then continued to rush towards the direction of Gale Fortress.

After rolling on the ground four or five times, I quickly got up.

I saw two giant wild dogs continuing to chase Laya and Torret, while the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had failed in the tackle and had been chasing them from the beginning stopped and stared at me.

——This is not good. The Three Dogs Slaughtering King is no joke.

——These giant monsters that can survive in the corrupt environment of Gaileyd have a strong desire to attack and powerful attack power, making it difficult to defend against them. Once a flaw is discovered, these mad dogs may not give me a chance to get up again.

I clenched my tusks.

——Without Torret, it would be difficult to escape.

——Then let’s think of a way to deal with one of them with all our strength.

Two giant bully dogs attacked me from the left and right at the same time. I made up my mind and rushed towards one of them.

The moment it approached, it raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and thrust it forward suddenly, as if it wanted to pick me up in one bite and swallow me alive.

——But how could it be that easy?

I used both feet to simultaneously leap high with the power of the storm, not only dodging the opponent's attack, but also raising my hound fangs high and chopping hard at the giant bullhound's head where its attack had missed.

bang——

It was like chopping off a huge rock, making a dull sound.

The skull of the giant bully was so hard that it only left a scratch, but the thick black blood spurted out and splashed all over me.

"Woof——" The bully dog ​​raised its head and howled loudly.

Seeing that my attack failed, I quickly rolled forward, landed on its back, and reached out to grab its sparse black hair.

——It can actually cry out in pain? I thought these guys were like the super beasts and had lost their sense of pain.

The dog that was stabbed didn't find me and didn't know that I had flipped over its back. It shook its head and looked around.

But the one on the opposite side was merciless. It showed its sharp teeth and mouth, not worrying about hurting its companion, and rushed forward like a dump truck.

I quickly jumped to the side.

The two bully dogs collided with each other and rolled several times like a ball before separating.

The one that was hit was obviously unhappy. "I got hit on the forehead, and you dare to bite me? You're looking for death!" He probably yelled something like this and fought back fiercely at his accomplice.

The guy on the other end was not willing to be outdone.

The two monsters wrestled with each other, causing the whole place to be filled with flying dust and thick smoke.

——A beast is a beast.

I pursed my lips and shook my head, then quickly ran towards Gale Fortress.

But unexpectedly, after running a few steps, Torrett appeared in front of him, and Laya's voice came: "Zero——"

——Why did they come back? Moreover, the two vicious dogs that had chased after them seemed to have disappeared.

boom! boom! boom!

The next second, I saw a raging fire like a huge wave, rushing towards Laya and Torret from behind.

The two giant bull dogs were actually replaced by two fire chariots!

——No wonder they came back. They were scared away by Gallid’s enthusiasm.

Even the two giant bull dogs that were fighting each other just now stopped fighting after hearing the sound, and all looked at the chariot that was blazing with fire, not daring to get close for a while.

"Zero!" Laya had already ridden Torret back to my side.

——But the two Bully Hounds are already enough to give me a headache, and now here come two chariots of fire... Your Galid's plan is too big, and a little guy like A-ti can't handle it.

——Why not just find a way to steal one, and then drive the tank directly into the Gale Fortress.

"Zero, let's go, why are you still standing there?"

I had just made up my mind when Laya grabbed me up without saying a word and put me on Torret's back.

——This little girl is quite strong. It reminds me of the bad memories of being dragged by her like a kite.

"Torret, go!" Then Laya patted Torret's neck, and Torret consciously ran to the side and made way.

Two fire chariots spewing blazing flames actually rushed past us and headed straight for the giant bulldogs, burning the two guys and making them howl.

——Speaking of which, the Chariot of Fire is also one of the powerful weapons of Galid's Red Lion Legion to deal with corrupt creatures.

It turned out that Laya didn't run back because she was scared, but went to call for help.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that this most dangerous land on the border would be so welcoming in every aspect.
