Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

The deafening roar brought about a violent wind, which blew up the sand and dust so violently that it seemed as if it could tear people's hearts and lungs apart.

The huge figure opened his trembling eyelids without any explanation and entered everyone's sight.

"Giant, giant dragon Aegis, why is it here?" Ishutopia expressed my thoughts in a slurred voice.

——Stepping into the corrupted Aegis, it can be said that it is the most difficult dragon monster I have encountered in the game of Elden Ring!

Besides, the guy in front of him was even more terrifying than in the game.

The huge pale shadow almost covered half of the sky in front of it. Its height was nearly twice that of a giant crow, and its body length was twenty to thirty meters.

The head was as big as that of a giant elephant, half of which was so emaciated that it looked like a skeleton, while the other half was covered with saprophytic scarlet mushrooms and color-changing fallen leaves and flowers.

From the mouth that had swallowed half of the giant crow in one gulp, the scarlet smell of corruption continued to leak out with every breath.

The body of this creature was similar to its head, and the land was similar in appearance. The pale dragon body, which symbolized death, was covered with scarlet corrosive plants. Even its wings would scatter a lot of scarlet rot dust when they trembled slightly. It could be said to be a moving natural disaster.

——But isn’t Aegis in the game lying on the open space near the Great Dragon Feast Church in Gaileid?

——Why did you suddenly appear here?

However, having said that, the main road that leads directly from Red Lion City to the Ionian Swamp in the center of Gaileid is at the intersection of our location, and is indeed only separated from the Great Dragon Feast Cathedral by a cliff. Coupled with the sound of the battle just now, it is very likely that we have offended the owner of this area.

"Cough cough." Wolf Brother Blaze seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in his throat.

——Could it be that the scarlet dust that came with the roaring drums just now has caused him to become corrupt?

But on the other side, Alexander seemed extremely excited: "Oh, is this a real dragon? I've wanted to compete with you before! I am Alexander the Iron Fist! Warrior spirits, please witness my battle!"

After saying that, this guy rushed towards the dragon like a bull.

"Oh, I really lost to him." Ishutopia sighed slightly, threw the hanging scarf behind him, wrapped his head more tightly, gripped the cavalry saber tightly, and rushed forward.

——······Are all of them so brave?

Regardless, I took a sip of the blue dew drop from the Holy Grail bottle to restore the consumed rune magic, then a red flame ignited in my hand and slapped Blaze on the back.

Prayer - the healing fire.

"Brother Wolf, how is it?"

"Ah! Much better, thank you, Zero." Brother Wolf also picked up the royal sword again, "But being able to fight a dragon is really exciting!"

"・・・"

To be honest, I wanted to withdraw first.

After all, I only upgraded my wisdom twice just to reach the twelve-point prayer attribute of "Healing of Flame". Even if I could really deal with the giant dragon in front of me, I would not be able to learn Aegis's breath prayer in the Dragon Feast Church.

Apart from gaining some runes, this was a completely thankless battle.

In addition, my current attributes are actually not that high, with a health bonus of 18 or 19 points. If I accidentally get a breath of corruption in the game, I will just die.

but--

Seeing those three idiots running under Aegis's body, punching and slashing at his wings and claws, a surge of blood rushed to my heart: "I really lost to you... Laya."

"Hmm?" The little snake sat on Torrett and looked at me curiously.

"Keep your distance and don't get affected. I'll be back soon." After saying that, I also carried the hound's fang and rushed towards the corrupt Aegkiss.

"Ow—"

The dragon roared, raised half of its body, and stomped down on Alexander below.

Alexander crossed his arms and tried to use his strong body to push against the dragon, but was kicked by the dragon like a ball and rolled several times.

"Alexander! Lend me your shoulder." Blaze charged forward, and when Alexander stood firm, he first jumped onto the opponent's shoulder... or the top of the pot, as a stepping stone, and then jumped up again holding the royal giant sword with frost floating on it, and smashed towards the opponent like a meteor.

Seeing this, Aegis opened his dragon mouth towards Blaze, and a scarlet and rotten air suddenly surged out from the depths of his throat.

——Oops, it’s the breath of corruption.

——Even if it was Brother Wolf, he wouldn’t be able to withstand this blow head-on!

But the next second, a circle of purple light suddenly burst out from under Aegis's body, as if an invisible hand grabbed its neck from the bottom, causing the dragon to lower its head and block its breath.

——I didn’t expect that gravity combat skills could be used in this way?

"Well done, Ishtopia! Ahem—" With a loud wolf howl, the royal giant sword slashed heavily on Aegkiss's upper jaw. The frost magic that erupted at the same time was more like a heavy punch, which made the dragon's head tilt for a moment. The mushrooms and color-changing fallen leaves on half of its face were scattered all over the ground like peeling skin.

It seemed very angry and was about to stand up and roar, but Alexander suddenly spun around, turning into a gyroscope and hitting Aegis's left leg, causing the dragon to stagger.

——Then I’ll go too!

I was already ready to go, and I saw the opportunity. I used the second stage of Wolf Attack Blood Dance, and passed through the dragon's body at swift speed. The bloodthirsty fangs were like a huge mouth, and they suddenly bit down on Aegkiss's right foot.

It was already unstable to begin with, and after I chopped it down, it collapsed to the ground like a precarious building.

"Now!" We immediately seized the opportunity for execution and attacked Aegkis with swords, knives and fists.

The sharp blade swung, and the dragon's body, which had long been stained with decay, gushed out thick black and red blood, which also seemed to contain golden runes, which floated in the air like debris.

——There’s hope!

——If I chop him a few more times, maybe I can trigger Aegis's bleeding state!

- While it's weak, use a combo like the one just now, and defeating this guy won't be a difficult task at all!

But at this moment, the dragon roared again in anger.

It swung its tail hard on the ground, and at the same time, its pair of large wings flapped the ground continuously, raising large patches of red dust of corruption.

"Cough cough cough." Although he avoided the opponent's slap and tail swing, the rotten smell that choked his nose was still uncomfortable.

I quickly set myself on fire.

And in the smoke and dust, there was another dark shadow rushing towards me.

——Is it Aegis’s drift again?

——But it doesn’t seem quite like it.

I quickly stepped back and saw Alexander waving his fists and rushing out of the smoke.

"Oh, it's Brother Zero. I was wondering why that guy's legs became thinner." Alexander was still joking happily.

But a bad feeling suddenly emerged in my heart.

——Aegis is so huge that even this smoke and dust should not be able to cover its body.

——So, what about the dragon?

"Ah——" A loud dragon roar suddenly came from the side above our heads.

I saw that on the ten-meter-high cliff, a giant dragon had already been entrenched under the entire night sky, opening its huge mouth of the abyss towards us: "Aoaoaoaoaoao——"

"Oh no, it's its breath!" Alexander subconsciously stood in front of me, "Zero, hide behind me!"

Suddenly, a surging tide of air came rolling in with scarlet corruption, and almost in an instant, it swallowed all of us under the cliff.

The scorching heat enveloped the person, as if they were in a burning house.

When the flames burned the person to a crisp, the heart and lungs suddenly tightened, as if someone's hands grabbed them fiercely and crushed them.

The intense feeling of suffocation completely deprived me of my strength. I fell to my knees and opened my mouth, eagerly trying to get some air. However, my entire respiratory tract became extremely dry, like a valley that hadn’t seen any rain for years. Not even a breeze rose. I could only hear a hollow coughing sound: “Cough! Cough cough!”

——Is this, is this complete scarlet corruption?

——It’s not even allowed for human survival!

Beside him, Alexander had already knelt on the ground.

Even though the battle pot was almost immune to corruption, it would still be severely burned by the high temperature after blocking the breath head-on.

"Ao!" The dragon's voice once again resounded throughout the world. I raised my head with difficulty, and the shadow of death enveloped me.

"Zero!" At this moment, a gray figure rushed over quickly.

Laya reached out her hand to me anxiously and grabbed me and put me on the horse's back.

Torrett went around in front of Alexander and kicked him from behind, causing Alexander to roll down the diagonal ramp.
