Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

“Waaaaaaaaaaa—”

"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Ghosts and wolves howled in the decaying wilderness.

The huge wolf shadow flashed a red light, and it attacked like a crazy zombie with its fangs and claws bared.

The chaotic footsteps caused a sandstorm-like dust to fly behind them, and the howling sounds that seemed to be demanding their lives were mixed with the annoying sound of crows shouting at the top of their throats.

Besides, that was no ordinary crow!

Instead, it devoured the rotten flesh, and after being infected with the scarlet corruption, it mutated into a giant crow, one of which was even a head taller than the three or four meter tall wild bully dog.

——Damn it, why don’t these two monsters fight each other!

······

When I assembled the White and Black Special Forces and left Red Lion City to look for the Holy Blood Wood Buds and Mibao, as soon as we stepped out of the territory of Red Lion City, we were targeted by the corrupt monsters that gathered outside the Broken Bridge and the soldiers' camp.

——Well, this was within my expectations.

——But, you bastards are too goal-oriented!

It wasn't enough to have the Latan soldiers attracting firepower. As soon as we turned around, they all came running after the four of us!

Originally there were only two or three wild rex dogs, but as they ran along, they unknowingly saw the appearance of two giant crows and three more rex dogs, chasing them relentlessly like a starving ghost chasing a running steak.

In addition, I have to state first that it was not me who led the escape this time, but Wolf Brother Blaze!

This guy let out a "wow" and ran away as fast as the wind!

"Zero! There seems to be someone in front." Suddenly, Laya, who was riding Torret with me and lying on my shoulder, pointed to the deep red front.

I squinted my eyes and vaguely saw a black figure riding a warhorse, strolling on the main road that passed through the entire Gaileid.

——Oh my god, it’s the Night Cavalry!

Moreover, that guy obviously noticed the situation on our side and rushed over with a flail and meteor hammer swinging!

——This guy is absolutely not here to help us!

——That is to collude with the corrupt monsters, surround us from the front and back, and plan to take this opportunity to wipe out this group of rabble who are harmful to the Golden Dynasty in one fell swoop.

I couldn't help but click my tongue.

But unexpectedly, a wolf howled suddenly in the night sky: "Don't get in the way, get out of my way——"

Blaze, who was already running in the front, could actually speed up suddenly. The royal giant sword drew a pale track in the darkness. Almost in the blink of an eye, it swept past the horses of the Night Cavalry, forcing the opponent to neigh loudly and stop.

The next second, the wolf shadow leaped high, and the gray thunder instantly struck the back of the Night Cavalry, and then a frost skeleton like a full moon burst out.

——This is Blaze's exclusive fighting skill - Wolf Attack! It's even more domineering and swift than the attack in the game!

"Hahaha! Brother Wolf is very skilled! I have to show off my skills too!" As soon as Alexander finished speaking, the whole pot began to spin rapidly, turning into a battle gyroscope and rushing forward.

The Night Cavalry, who had suffered a full set of wolf attacks, knew that they were no match for Blaze. If they were hit by Alexander's battle maneuver, tonight would be the anniversary of his death. So they wanted to pull up their horses and create some distance before making plans.

But another figure jumped up from the horse beside me, and the cavalry saber above his head lit up a dazzling purple light.

Combat skill - gravity!

As Ixutopia stabbed the weapon into the ground with all his strength, purple gravity waves immediately spread out.

The gravity caused the Night Knight's entire body to sway along with his horse, but it was just this sway that made him miss the opportunity to evacuate.

pong!pong!pong!

Alexander's iron fist was like a windmill, beating the Night Cavalry violently, causing his horse to collapse first and dissipate into a shadow.

Moreover, after the rotation, Alexander smoothly followed up with a rising dragon punch, directly knocking the cavalryman who fell off his horse away again.

Then, the light of a blue meteor flashed from the ground to the sky.

The cavalryman couldn't even land on the ground, and his entire body turned into gray smoke and disappeared in the air.

【Enemy Felled】

——Fuck you, when did you come up with such a cool combo behind my back to knock out a field boss like the Night Rider? !

"Wow, everyone is so great, so awesome!" Laya cheered excitedly behind me.

And I was completely stunned.

This Night Rider must have been confused before he died. He was clearly here to outflank the enemy, but in the blink of an eye he was killed by a dump truck?!

“Woof—”

Suddenly, there was another burst of barking behind us, which scared both me and Wolf Brother Blaze.

——Your combos are indeed very cool, but don’t forget that we are still being chased by corrupt monsters!

Blaze subconsciously started running again. I couldn't help but chase him and shouted, "Hey, Brother Wolf, you guys can kill the Night Riders in one go, so you shouldn't have any problem dealing with the monsters behind you!"

“...Ah, sorry, Zero.” Blaze came to his senses as if awakened from a nightmare. “I, I feel helpless when I encounter those corrupt dogs. My body always feels fear subconsciously, as if I have also been corroded by the scarlet corruption, so...”

——Uh... Could this be the uncanny valley effect?

——To us, the Corrupted Overlord Dog is just a simple monster, but to Brother Wolf, it is a fellow who has lost his mind due to corruption.

"Okay, then I and I will deal with those bully dogs! You and Alexander will deal with those two stinky crows!" After saying that, I turned my horse's head and shouted to Ishtopia who fell behind me, "Senior, once again, use your gravity fighting skills with all your strength!"

"Okay!" Ishutopia gave me complete trust, turned around, faced the monsters that were rolling like a mudslide, and raised his cavalry saber high again, "Combat Skill - Gravity!"

hum-

The huge gravity wave spread rapidly, and the strong gravitational force caused the wild king dogs, which were already running very fast, to lose their balance and fall to the ground one after another.

The corrupt crows used their broken wings and body weight to stabilize their bodies.

However, the next second, they were knocked away by two figures.

"Okay! Laya, be careful and hold on to Torret!" As soon as I finished speaking, I jumped directly from the back of the spirit horse, sharpened the sword with blood in my left hand, and turned my body in the air, like a falling blood moon.

New combination combat skill——Scarlet Blood Moon Slash!

The Lion Slash, which was already powerful enough, was now coupled with the Blood Blade. With just one strike, it tore the two Tyrannosaurus Rex, which were lying together, in half.

He quickly took out the Red Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle, held the bottle in his mouth, and drank the dew drops to restore his blood volume.

Before those wild bull dogs could fully stand up, I once again used my long fangs to create a bloody wheel and swung it at them.

The technique of "Blood Slash" has been perfected. Every strike of mine is accompanied by flying blood blades. In addition, the sharp blade of the long tooth cuts the monsters' bodies like chopping melons and vegetables.

——Why not use blood as a blade and develop a complete set of "Blood Breathing" swordsmanship!

——If the Mother of Truth knew about this thought that came to my mind accidentally, she might ask Monger to compete with me for the position of president of the Blood Bank.

--Kidding.

Of course, I was able to slash so freely thanks to the assistance of Senior Ishutopia. Before his rune magic was exhausted, he continuously triggered his combat skill - gravity, causing these wild overlord dogs to experience an earthquake-like tremor and they couldn't stand firmly.

——This is the power of repeating combat skills!

In just a short while, Ishutopia and I worked together to kill all four or five wild king dogs that had followed us for most of the night, and cut off their heads to prevent them from reviving through the blessing and continuing to cause trouble for us.

Turning around, Blaze's side had also been resolved.

The lone wolf chopped the giant corrupt crow to the ground with a sword, then dug a claw into the opponent's chest and pulled out the dark red heart.

——······Did Brother Wolf turn his powerlessness and fear of the wild Tyrannosaurus into anger and vent it on the Corrupted Giant Crow?

——This attack is too brutal! Cool!

However, Alexander's side is more difficult to deal with.

It’s not that he is no match for the Corrupted Crow, but without weapons and bare hands, it is still difficult for him to deal a fatal blow to these tenacious creatures that have lived on Galid for so long.

"Hah——" He jumped up and threw a Rising Dragon Fist, causing the Corrupted Giant Crow to stagger and fall to the side.

In this situation, Alexander naturally chose to continue the pursuit.

But the corrupt giant crow suddenly flapped its wings, twisted its whole body in a strange arc, and instantly pecked at the other party with its sharp beak.

——Here comes this guy, the most cunning one to lure the enemy into a counterattack.

——It was the same in the game. He pretended to fall to the ground, tricking Ah Ti into thinking that he could execute him. He quickly approached him, then used a backhand throw and sent Ah Ti flying into the air.

——This is a bloody and tragic lesson I learned many times!

Fortunately, Alexander was a good fighter, and the throwing techniques against Ati were ineffective against him. However, this powerful attack made him retreat uncontrollably.

I breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the hound's fang, and prepared to go forward to help.

But at this moment, Laya suddenly shouted: "Alexander, be careful, step back quickly!"

"Ok?"

I saw a huge pale shadow suddenly swooping down, and actually grabbed the corrupt giant crow, held it in the air and swung it vigorously twice, leaving only half of its body, drawing a meteor-like arc in the scarlet night, and was thrown to the ground.

We all raised our heads and looked at the even larger figure in astonishment.

And it, apparently still not full, roared at us, "Ah ...
