Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Walking towards the basement, I unexpectedly found a fog door there.

In the previous two boss battles, I clearly walked straight in.

It seems that this might be a trap set by Teacher Se Lian. He was also glad that he had lured away the poisonous flower monster's flower star rain in advance, otherwise it would have been really uncomfortable to be hit twice when entering the door.

Who told me that I’m only level one? If I’m not careful, the game will be over.

While complaining, I reached out and touched the foggy door.

It was as if someone was pulling me, and I walked through the fog for another ten steps, and the surroundings gradually became darker.

Just when I was wondering whether I had completely passed through the fog gate, a warning came to my ears.

"Roar--"

The roar was mixed with the clanking of iron chains, and I subconsciously rolled over to avoid it.

The flail hit the wall, causing gravel to fly and sparks to appear.

——This is too unethical! Targeting a newbie like me, trying to cheat and attack!

I couldn't help but complain wildly in my mind, while at the same time, looking directly at the bastard who attacked me - the mad pumpkin-head soldier.

Just as the name suggests, the BOSS monster wore a huge golden mask that looked like a pumpkin. It had a hunched body and the flail in its hands made a clanging sound. It was estimated to be as tall as two A-ti.

——Due to the pumpkin head cover, it is very difficult to attack head-on, and the attack will be easily deflected by the sturdy pumpkin head.

- In addition, the attack judgment of the flail in the right hand is also quite difficult. It seems that you can't throw it in a position where you can't get it, but you will be hit for no reason.

In an instant, the information accumulated in the game flooded into my mind, and naturally, the strategies to deal with it.

——For the large and slow-moving monsters in the Elden Magic Ring that like quick and slow swords, go around to the back of the side where the monster is not holding a weapon, which is the best output position!

"Of course, I also have to watch out for this guy's reaction to being hit, which is different from that in the game!" While dodging, I made up my mind and started to draw my sword!

After watching the flail coming down on my head, I quickly moved to the right to dodge, and while the opponent was in a stalemate, I quickly went around behind the pumpkin-headed soldier from the side where he didn't hold a weapon. At the same time, I swung my straight sword and cut a scar on the opponent's arm.

The pumpkin-headed soldier also sensed my position and kept turning to the left.

But he was so big, and the pumpkin helmet was so heavy that he couldn't even straighten his back. Naturally, his turning movement was restricted and seemed quite slow.

——Very good, exactly as I expected.

I always stayed to the left and rear side of the pumpkin-head soldier, and took advantage of the opportunity when he turned around to swing my sword and attack.

This trick worked every time, and the impatient pumpkin-headed soldier swung the flail to the left in a chaotic manner, and his left hand occasionally reached behind him. But no matter what, the length of his arm was destined to be limited, and he couldn't do anything to me.

Just keep your distance, keep your distance~

"Roar--"

Suddenly, the guy roared and swung the flail as fast as he could, so frantically that he didn't mind even if it hit his own body.

"Hey, he's anxious, he's anxious." I couldn't help laughing in my heart. "This kind of impotent rage is totally useless. As long as I stay a little further away, he will be the only one who gets hurt, and he will also consume a lot of physical strength. And I just need to take advantage of the opponent's declining strength and give him a fatal blow!"

I felt my body trembling slightly, but I knew it was not out of fear but concentration, like the warm-up trembling of a leopard after it has aimed at its prey and is ready to attack.

Just like now!

The pumpkin-headed soldier gasped loudly and slowed down his movements, and his right arm dropped in an instant!

I rushed forward quickly, aimed at the pumpkin-head soldier's heart from behind, jumped up, and stabbed him with the straight sword with all my strength.

"Roar--"

The pumpkin-headed soldier roared once more, and actually shook his back desperately like a crazy old bull.

How can this guy still have so much strength? Did I poke him in the wrong place?

Ah, my hands can hardly hold the straight sword.

I could only step on the opponent's back before I was thrown to the ground, use the force of jumping back to draw out the straight sword, and prepare to make another plan.

But I didn't expect that the moment my feet touched the ground, the pumpkin-headed soldier actually captured my movement, stood on one foot, turned himself into a giant gyroscope, and suddenly turned to the right.

By the time I reacted, the flail had already hit my side with a whistling sound mixed with the wind.

boom!

"Cough!" I choked and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was just like being hit by a car. I was thrown into the air and finally hit the wall of the basement. My whole body was in pain and it felt like it was about to fall apart.

If I hadn't used the big leather shield to block the flail in time, I'm afraid this critical hit would have taken my life!

The only good news was that the pumpkin-head soldier had trouble controlling his balance. After hitting me, he just spun around and fell to the ground, shaking his head.

If he could continue to spin and press forward like he did just now, I would probably die here today.

Recover, recover quickly.

Trembling, I took out the Holy Grail bottle and drank it in one gulp.

After being hit hard, the buzzing brain finally stopped, but the trembling of the body could not be controlled.

Is death beginning to creep out from the shadows again, trying to slow me down?

"Roar! Roar!" With heavy breathing, the pumpkin-headed soldier stood up again.

He was covered in wounds, but his explosive power should not be underestimated. If he was hit by the flail repeatedly, he would probably be defeated before he could recover.

what to do? what to do?

I was so nervous that I even held my breath.

But, I was also surprised to find that this guy was not in a hurry to attack? !

why?

If you think about it carefully, you will actually know the answer.

In the real world, pumpkin-headed soldiers naturally do not have AI to detect enemies.

His helmet completely blocked his vision, so he probably couldn't rely on smell or taste. Of the remaining possibilities, hearing was the most likely, and of course magical perception was not ruled out... But the current situation only proved one thing.

I carefully took out the throwing knife and threw it behind him.

Ding!

"Roar!" As expected, the flail turned around and smashed towards the place where the knife was thrown.

"That's easy." I calmed down, took out the Soul Summoning Bell and shook it gently. "If there are too many agile opponents, what will you do?"

Jingle bell bell~

The bell rang, and my three wolf spirit companions appeared beside me.

Before the pumpkin-headed soldier came over, I waved my hand and said, "Go, Phantom Wolves! Attack this guy from three different directions!"

"Ouch——"

The wolf spirits understood what I meant and quickly split up to attack the pumpkin-headed soldiers.

They are even more agile than me, and with their smaller size, they can even squeeze under the crotch of the pumpkin-headed soldiers.

This made the pumpkin-headed soldier even more frantic, but even if he used the whirlwind shackles, he could hardly catch any trace of you - your greatest killer move was sealed just like that!

"Roar!" The pumpkin-headed soldier finally went crazy and started to bang his big head against the ground repeatedly.

It may seem funny to kowtow and hit the ground, but the range of this move is inexplicably large. Sometimes, even if you are standing behind him, you will be shocked and lose your defense.

So, I won’t get close to you easily.

Just like before, you just need to wait for the huge stiffness after the kowtow attack ends...

It's now!

The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light pierced directly into the chest of the mad pumpkin-headed soldier.

“Drink ah ah——” The trembling in my body disappeared unconsciously, and I shouted, “Give it to me, fall down!”

This time, it won’t be off track!

A sword cuts through the dust!

The fatal rest.

I could even hear the dull beating sound from under the thick chest stop, the roar from the pumpkin head also disappeared, and the opponent's movements also stopped completely.

【Enemy Felled】

Humph, as expected, as long as I stay calm enough, this little BOSS is no match for me!

Just when he was about to be like the hero who killed the villain, he drew his sword and turned around handsomely, shook off the blood stains and put the sword back into the sheath.

But why do I feel the hilt of the sword getting heavier and heavier, and a huge shadow is looming over me without any explanation? ······Hey, wait, wait!

There was a dull sound in the basement.

Oh, my god, why is this thing as heavy as a rock?

Fortunately, not long after the problem was solved, the pumpkin-headed soldier's body turned into ashes and disappeared, and the runes gathered and flowed into my palm. Otherwise, I would have experienced the feeling of a monkey who had been suppressed for five hundred years.

"Next time, don't act so cool. Get away quickly after delivering a fatal blow." I stood up and dusted myself off. "But more importantly..."

The fog that filled the front and back of the basement dissipated, finally revealing another door.

Hey, Teacher Se Lian, here I come as your good disciple!

Yahoo!

I lifted the heavy iron door with all my strength, but then a staff shining with a blue glow was placed on top of my head.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Eh--
