Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Just as Blaze and I rushed into the depths of the dark cave and saw the human figure, a scarlet light flashed slightly, and then turned into countless fragments of light and rushed towards us.

Magic——Unrestrained crystallization!

I subconsciously raised my shield to block.

A series of ping-pong noises made my shield-holding arms begin to go numb, and my uncovered legs and feet also felt a burning pain from scratches from time to time.

"Ouch——" But while I was attracting the firepower, Blaze had already quickly circled around from the side like a shadow, raised the royal greatsword high, and chopped down like thunder, blocking the opponent's attack before I was broken by the "Crystal Machine Gun".

But before I could even catch my breath, a spear came straight at me, forcing me to roll backwards.

When the first attack failed, the crystal man immediately chased after me, jumping like a zombie. The spear in his hand also jumped and stabbed in a rapid rhythm, making me roll backwards like a ball.

Snapped!

—Oops, we hit the crystal stone pillar.

While he was sighing in his heart that something was wrong, he looked up and saw that the crystal man had already jumped high. He had accumulated all his strength into the spear and was stabbing straight forward.

pong——

The tip of the gun hit the stone pillar and sparks flew.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, I saw the direction of the gun tip, turned my body and raised my arm, thus narrowly avoiding the attack. Ouch!

The crystal man suddenly changed his tactics without any warning, and swept me with a gun, knocking me flying.

——This guy, he poked the stone with all his strength, won’t his hand feel numb?

However, this way, I finally had a chance to catch my breath and adjust my physical strength.

The crystal man turned around in a daze.

During this opportunity, I had already used the first part of the Hound Sword Technique, and rushed to the front of the opponent quickly with my feet on the gust of wind, attacking with wolf blood, and slashing with all my strength!

when!

I unsheathed my longfang sword and chopped it at the crystal man's ribs, but it just hit the hard crystal stones and the blade bounced back, not to mention the subsequent blood blade, which couldn't be swung out at all.

The base of my thumb feels a little numb.

——It’s really hard!

The opponent stabbed at me again with a gun. I turned my head to the side, then clenched the hound's fangs with both hands, turned my body around, swung the curved sword in a big circle, and then chopped it diagonally again, hitting the opponent's armpit.

There was a bang and sparks were flying.

But the other party just shook his body, raised his hand and stabbed the gun again quickly.

——Is this useless? As expected, to deal with this guy, you have to use a blunt weapon to hit him directly!

——But are there any blunt weapons in my blessed backpack?

Just as I was thinking, a blue-green light shot towards me from the corner of my eye like a cannonball.

By the time I reacted, it was too late to dodge, so I had to subconsciously put up my shield, and then I was blasted away by the huge pyroxene magic gravel.

My head hit something furry. I felt my brain buzzing and dizzy, and my hands completely lost feeling. "Cough cough cough!"

The bitter smell of rust surged up from my throat. In my blurry vision, I only saw the man with the crystal gun slowly turning towards me, and behind him, two or three magic spells - pyroxene magic gravels flew towards me.

——Damn it!

——Did the magicians hiding in the hidden cave also hear the noise of fighting and come out on their own initiative?

I felt like my body wasn't listening to my brain, and the alarm sounded for a long time but it didn't urge my hands and feet to move.

However, the next second, a black shadow wrapped me up, and then after several consecutive jumps, it brought me to a horizontal crystalline stone pillar above that penetrated the cave.

The crystal man naturally couldn't jump up, and there were other jagged stone pillars blocking the magician's view.

Blaze's magnetic voice made people feel numb: "Zero, are you okay?"

"Ahem! No, it's not good. I need, I need the Holy Grail bottle to recover... on my waist."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the cool and sweet dew drops on my lips. The warm power finally restored consciousness to my limbs, and my confused mind became clear again.

"Thanks, Brother Wolf." I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then I saw two faint red shadows flying behind Blaze.

——It’s the Crystal Man’s spinning circular flying blade!

I quickly reminded: "Watch out behind you!"

But before Brother Wolf turned around, a large tail easily deflected the flying blade. Laya, in snake form, quickly climbed up and said hurriedly, "Brother Wolf, Zero, can you all still fight?"

——······Although I know you are worried about us, Laya, why are you acting like a supervisor and asking right away if we can still work?

"Little Laya, why are you here?" Blaze asked.

"Two magicians with pyroxene swords were chasing me, so I had no choice but to come to you first."

——Sure enough, the third wizard brother who was guarding the ashes of the Crystal Man has also arrived?

——Those few crystal people were troublesome enough already, and these opponents are also a combination of melee super meat shields and ranged mages, which is too disgusting!

Blaze suggested: "How about we go first. Those crystal people are too troublesome, and my sword is more of a magic burst type, which is not easy to deal with them."

"The crystal man's weakness is blunt weapons, but we don't seem to have any blunt... weapons."

——Wait, I seem to remember, before entering this cave, didn't we just deal with a Seamaster magician? !

I quickly stretched out my hand, and soon, the Rune's glow condensed into a stone stick in my hand.

——Oh my god, it’s quite heavy. I don’t know if I can carry it.

"Leave it to me, Zero." Brother Wolf seemed to see my embarrassment, "If we compare strength, I should be better than you."

——That’s right. After all, the royal greatsword requires twenty-six points of strength to lift.

I handed it over obediently: "Then I'll go deal with those magicians."

"I... I'll go and help attract your attention first!" Unexpectedly, Laya would actively apply to join the battle. Wasn't she observing from the side?

——However, if it comes to just walking, the speed of the crystal people is slower than that of ordinary people.

——Someone go and attract the attention first, so that we can quickly separate the magician and the crystal man, so that Brother Wolf and I can defeat them one by one.

"Then you better be careful, Laya."

"Well! Leave it to me, Zero!" As she said that, Laya used her flexible snake posture to bypass the crystal stone pillar and slipped to the bottom.

In an instant, magical explosions were heard one after another, and the little snake's figure flashed away and drilled out towards the cave tunnel we came from.

A series of footsteps were heard, chasing after him quickly.

Then came the crystallized people, with slow but quite orderly steps.

I first patted Blaze on the head to eliminate the corrupt toxins that had accumulated in his body during the previous battle to prevent anything from going wrong. Then, I said, "Let's go, Brother Wolf."

Then, Blaze easily brought me back to the ground.

The last mage crystal man noticed us first, but when he turned around, he was hit by a stone stick and a club, which smashed his big nose on his bitter face, causing some crystal fragments to fly out. He fell out and hit another guy holding a round blade ring.

"Ooooo~" Blaze's voice was slightly delighted, as if he liked the feel of his hand. He waved his hand and said, "Zero, go save Laya, leave all the crystals to me!"

"Then I'll take care of it." I quickly walked around them between the stone pillars nearby. While I was chasing after Laya, I could hear the sound of bangs and booms.

Glancing back, he just happened to see the crystal man with a gun leap into the air and stab straight at Blaze.

Blaze dodged the attack easily with a sway, then hit the opponent's foot with a stone stick, causing the crystal man to fly out like a windmill.

The other two crystal men were also unable to catch Blaze. Most of the attacks were avoided by him using crystal stone pillars or simply relying on his speed.

——There is no need to worry at all.

After a while, I caught up with Laya and others who were jumping around in the rocky cave.

A ball of fire condensed in my hand, and just as a magician jumped into the air, I threw it at him.

Although he failed to hit the opponent, he still scared the opponent. He jumped to the edge of the cliff and lost his balance, and fell down.

thump—

——Without Rune floating up, man, you didn’t die from the fall!

Not in a hurry to finish off the enemy, I quickly caught up with the other two guys and teamed them from the front and back with Laya. After a while, I cleared the entire cave.
