Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Ah, here!" The belated voice came after I defeated the veteran O'Neal.

As soon as Pollyanna's eyes fell on my palm, she clenched the dagger in both hands and prepared to attack me.

But a beam of cold light flashed by and pierced her heel.

I asked rather speechlessly, "What do you want to do, Pollyanna?"

"Need I say more? Give me the golden needle in your hand."

“······Aren’t we partners?”

"Who wants to cooperate with you? If it wasn't for my elder sister saying that she could use you, we would have watched you being dealt with by the veteran." Should we say this guy is honest or stubborn? He said everything he could say in one breath, "Now that the veteran has been dealt with, of course, we have nothing to do with each other. Hurry up and give me the golden needle, or don't blame me for being rude."

——······Is that already considered polite of you?

I sighed and said helplessly, "You want to give the Pure Golden Needle to your adoptive father, the Sage Gwei, right? It just so happens that I also have to go to the magic town of Ceria."

"Oh? So you accepted dad's commission. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Pollyanna put away the dagger.

"Did you give me a chance to tell you earlier?" I complained casually and raised my hand to signal Letina not to be on guard.

Pollyanna was pouting, and I didn't know if she was angry or really thinking about whether she would give me a chance. Suddenly, this girl bent her body stealthily and came closer to me.

Before I could understand what was happening, she grabbed my arms and forcibly twisted me around.

The eldest sister Mary waved away the corrupt mist of the world, and walked over with the other two sisters and Alexander, angrily: "Pollyanna, did you cause trouble again just now?"

"No, no! I...I'm helping to deal with that old general." Pollyanna said, and nudged my back with her little fist.

——What a hard mouth!

——Pollyanna, what kind of she-devil are you? !

“...That’s right.” As I said this, I took off her hand that was holding my arm. When she relaxed her guard, I quickly pulled her out from behind and put her in front of me. “But she just wanted to snatch the Pure Gold Needle from me and fight with me!”

"Wow, you dead..." Pollyanna didn't finish her words before she was hit by her eldest sister Mary's iron fist and fell to the ground.

Then, Mary said to me mercilessly: "Mr. Ling just said that you are going to Ceria to find our adoptive father, right? Then, please bring everyone with me later."

Behind her, the second sister Jasmine was as expressionless as ever, completely like a robot, following Mary all the time.

When the third sister Amy saw Pollyanna lying on the ground with her butt up in the air, she trembled all over like a frightened rabbit and looked around quickly. After not finding any enemy, she picked up Pollyanna.

——The personalities of these four sisters are even more different than I imagined.

While Laya was getting down from the tree, Alexander asked me curiously, "Brother Ling, are these people also your friends?"

"Um... we can't really be considered friends. It's just that our goals are temporarily the same."

"That's right." Mary, the eldest sister, spoke to us. "This time, we came to the Ionia Center to recover the pure golden needles on the orders of our adoptive father Gwei. But that guy is indeed a bit tricky, and it's difficult for the four of us to break through at once. We happened to meet you and cracked the ghost he summoned, so we came to help... And right now, I just chose the most efficient way to solve the problem, please don't misunderstand."

——In other words, our relationship has been completely cut off, and neither of us should cross the line.

——Eldest sister Mary is really a cold and distant person.

——But I also don’t hate this kind of indifference that makes me talk openly.

After Laya joined us, we followed the eldest sister Mary, passed through the Ionian Labyrinth, and came to the east coast of the Ionian Swamp.

The distance from here to cross the swamp is not far, and after a few steps, the towering city gate of Selia Town appeared in the mist of Galid.

"Brother Ling, who exactly is that sage Gwei?" Alexander suddenly asked me, "Since he lives in Magic Town, is he also a stargazing magician?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this suddenly?"

“Hahaha, I just thought that today was also quite dangerous. If it weren’t for these people’s help, we might have been trapped. So, we are also grateful for the help of the sage.” Alexander said cheerfully, “However, you said before that he raised those ferocious corrupt monsters, and told the wolf brothers to be careful... I’m afraid he is a guy who is not easy to deal with. Before we meet again, I also want to get to know him first.”

——I didn’t expect that although Brother Hu is big, he is actually very meticulous.

"Sage Gwei should not be considered a magician. He is just a guy who was attracted by the beauty of Scarlet Ionia and worships Scarlet Corruption... As for the others, I don't know much about them." I subconsciously glanced at the four sisters walking in front, and said after careful consideration.

——You can’t tell Brother Hu that the guy is actually a corrupt follower, a centipede that can’t be killed completely.

The pure golden needle in my hand had long been broken, just like in the game. Now only the old man could repair the golden needle and bring it to Millicent to suppress the scarlet corruption in her body.

As for the future plot, to be honest, I don’t know whether Gwei did something with the golden needle, or if in the end, the power of the four sisters in front of me was indeed comparable to that of Millicent, or even better, forcing the corruption in Millicent’s body to erupt again or something like that... It’s really hard to say.

What is certain is that, since I know where the other party will ambush Millicent, then from then on, Mibao and I will stay together and take her directly to see Malenia, so that the "mother and daughter" can be reunited.

"Eh!" The third sister Amy in front suddenly screamed.

Just when I was wondering what was going on, there was a sudden loud bang in the town of Selia ahead.

——Are Wolf Brother and Ishutopia still fighting in the town?

Alexander and I looked at each other and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound. Of course, Laya also followed us.

At the same time, Pollyanna woke up, shook off Amy, and rushed over to us.

"Awake?" I joked.

"None of your business!" Pollyanna snorted in disgust.

The four of us ran quickly into the town. Along the way, we saw the magicians of Selia lying on the ground in all directions.

Atop the three tall towers, the flames were like candles in the dark night, covering the entire town with a layer of light blue veil.

boom--

The sounds of breaking glass and flying rocks were getting closer and more intense.

From the corner in front, a purple halo expanded violently and then shrank extremely quickly.

When we turned the corner, we saw a black shadow leaping high up and twirling in the air, like drawing a blue full moon, and then falling on the heads of the Knox Swordsman and the Knox Monk who were attracted together by the gravity combat skills, and a violent icy storm exploded.

The two bosses of Selia Town fell to the ground with their heads down, and runes emerged from their bodies and gathered on the "half-wolf" Blaze.

——But is this what “Wolf Attack” is like?

"Tsk, we got robbed again!" Pollyanna held her head and punched the wall, looking extremely annoyed. "It's all my fault, Dad. He wouldn't let us set foot in this town! All the benefits were taken away by outsiders."

Hearing her voice, Ishtopia and Blaze, who had just finished fighting, turned around.

"Hey, brother Ling, brother Da Hu, you are still faster." Ishutopia greeted us with a smile.

Wolf brother Blaze looked embarrassed. He handed over the Knox Fluid Sword he had just obtained to Pollyanna: "Yes, I'm sorry for stealing your prey... I don't need this sword, so I'll give it to you."

——Brother Wolf, you are too honest!

Pollyanna glared at him again and snorted, "No!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the town, leaving us looking at each other in bewilderment.

——You are such a weird person, Pollyanna.

However, now that I have the Pure Gold Needle and the Seria strategy is complete, I can't wait to meet Mibao~
