Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Just like rain falling into dry land, the moment the golden needle pierced Millicent's chest, it was sucked into her body by a force and disappeared.

"······It went smoothly, it went in?! I didn't expect that." Even Millicent herself was surprised at how smooth the process was.

But suddenly, her body twitched slightly, which scared me: "Millicent! What's wrong? Millicent!"

"Uh...how could it be like this..." Before Millicent could finish her words, she fainted in my arms.

--what happened?

——Did the pure golden needle work? !

I looked anxiously at Millicent's face, and glanced round her body, to see what had changed.

Suddenly, a little golden light came out from the place where the golden needle penetrated.

Strands of golden silk emerged from it, jumping around like little rabbits, or like overlooking a tree, with countless branches stretching freely on Millicent.

Under the effect of these strands of golden threads, Millicent's scorching body temperature subsided and gradually returned to normal. The scarlet aura of corruption that had originally risen from her body was also suppressed and absorbed, and seemed to have dissipated.

Time that belonged to Millicent seemed to be going backwards.

On the chest, the butterfly-like scaly skin was also receding under the effect of the golden thread, and the festering corrosive wound in the center was being quickly sutured and healed.

Finally, all the gold threads retracted and gathered into a beautiful flower pattern, which fell on Millicent's chest.

It looks like a lotus, a golden lotus... Michaela's water lily?

I was just guessing when Blaze suddenly asked from behind: "How is she, Zero?"

"The situation should be improving. At least, the corruption has been completely suppressed." I came to my senses, quickly and carefully picked up Millicent and let her lean against the wall of the dilapidated house.

——After all, Mibao should wake up soon.

——If she saw herself still snuggling in my arms, she would definitely be shy, and I would also look at her as a mean person who takes advantage of others when they are sick.

——You have to manage the first impression well, otherwise you will be scared away by the pervert like Meimei was at first.

"After everyone wakes up, let's go back to Red Lion City." I discussed with my companions, "Although there are some problems with the Holy Blood Wood Bud, we have to say that we have tried our best. What follows is to leave it to fate and do our best..."

Whizzing--

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise and turned my head subconsciously.

I saw that several white silk threads were tied to Millicent's body and took her out in an instant.

——Oh my god! Could it be that those corrupt relatives are here to snatch me away? !

We all quickly chased out of the shabby house, and saw a familiar but unexpected figure.

Pollyanna!

Her silk prayer can actually be controlled like a hand? !

But no one knew whether it was because the prayer had ended or she did it on purpose, but after she dragged Millicent into the air, it suddenly dissipated.

Fortunately, Millicent had regained consciousness by then. She twisted in the air like a cat, then used the force to turn over, and finally managed to squat safely on the ground.

However, if you just woke up and encountered something like being thrown out like garbage, no matter who you are, your brain would probably be confused and dizzy for a while, unable to understand what was happening, and you would just sit there motionless.

But there was a slight sound of a blade in the air, and a long Saxel knife was thrown out by Pollyanna and landed right in front of Millicent.

"Pollyanna!" I couldn't understand what this guy was trying to do, so I could only shout and run over quickly.

"Don't worry, Zero. I just came to say hello to someone who just woke up, right, sister?" Pollyanna seemed to say to me, but her eyes never left Millicent.

"younger sister?"

——Yes, Pollyanna once said that Millicent was brought back from the depths of the Ionian swamps by Gwe after the four sisters, so she is naturally the younger sister.

——But, who greets someone like that?

Millicent picked up the long knife and stood up: "·······Pollyanna."

"Oh wow, you still remember me." Pollyanna smiled contemptuously, "Well, that's right, after all, your arm was cut off by me."

Millicent glanced at her empty right sleeve and said nothing more.

But I was also quite surprised. Did the two of them fight before? And Pollyanna was the one who defeated them unilaterally?

——But if that’s the case, why did Pollyanna suddenly appear here alone?

——Moreover, given her competitive personality, she shouldn't continue to attack her defeated subordinates.

The only explanation is that the truth is more than this.

The others also stood beside me obediently, thinking it was not convenient for them to interfere in the personal feud between the two sisters.

"What's with that expression?! Isn't it?" Pollyanna was annoyed at Millicent's seeming indifference.

Millicent shook her head gently, looking a little embarrassed. “If I have offended you, please allow me to apologize first. I... my memory is still a bit fuzzy, and I don’t remember clearly about the arm incident... But, even if what you said is true, I don’t seem to have any resentment in my heart, even... should I even say gratitude? Or...”

"That's enough. I'm sick of your hypocrisy, Millicent!" Pollyanna picked up two daggers and pointed them at Millicent. "There's no need to talk too much between us. Pick up your knife!"

"I······"

Before Millicent could finish her words, Pollyanna had already taken small steps and attacked her opponent as fast as lightning, swinging the single-edged dagger towards Millicent's neck.

Instinctively, Millicent held the sword in her left hand and deflected her attack.

But Pollyanna's other dagger was also slashing towards her without stopping.

when--

Once again, it was blocked.

Pollyanna's double-edged dagger was so powerful that it was dazzling. Although Millicent was blown everywhere like a leaf in a storm, she was always able to protect herself and use her long sword to block the opponent's attack.

After several rounds of fierce attacks, both Pollyanna and Millicent showed signs of fatigue and their speed gradually slowed down.

But at this moment, Millicent seized the gap between Pollyanna's hands, blocked a dagger, twisted her wrist, and slashed the blade back along the opponent's arm.

Pollyanna staggered back several steps before she regained her balance, curled up her body slightly, then suddenly raised her arms and stretched them out.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several strands of silk came out from behind her, like a railgun, accurately locking onto the opponent and shooting straight ahead.

Millicent, who had just expended a lot of energy, could not dodge this tracking attack. She could only raise her long sword and swing it quickly, trying her best to block all the incoming insect silk.

But this is just Pollyanna's trick.

Following the insect silk closely, she took small steps forward and suddenly leaped up. Her whole body seemed to have turned into the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, gnawing at Millicent like a sharp dagger with fangs.

when--

Millicent blocked with her sword, but the opponent's force was too strong, and the next second, Sescher's long sword flew out of her hand.

Pollyanna swung the dagger and her next target was her opponent's throat.

"Pollyanna!" I shouted subconsciously.

The blade of the dagger also stopped suddenly on Millicent's neck.

The two sisters, one leaning back and the other leaning forward, stood stiffly like sculptures, staring at each other for a long time.

"Tsk, you're too weak now, not worth my effort." Pollyanna turned the dagger, put it away, turned around and walked towards the city gate of Ceria.

Millicent glanced at her slightly trembling left hand, picked up the Saisher long knife, and came to me again: "Zero...Zero, is that so? I, Millicent, am so grateful for your help...May I ask about your next itinerary?"

I couldn't quite comprehend how the situation was unfolding, so I could only respond blankly, "I, we have to go back to Red Lion City, where a battle festival is about to take place..."

"Battle Festival..." Millicent thought for a moment, then continued, "Then can you take me to the Red Lion City?"

"Eh——" Not only was I surprised at the direction that went beyond the plot of the Ring of Fame game, even Pollyanna widened her eyes and hurried over.

——You are walking so slowly, are you eavesdropping on our conversation?

"Why, why did you want to go to Red Lion City with Zero and the others?!" Pollyanna couldn't understand either.

Millicent explained calmly: "As you can see, my current abilities are too weak. If I want to become stronger, I must learn various ways of fighting... Right now, witnessing the battle festival is the best choice."

"Hiss~ That's true. Only by constantly fighting can we become stronger." Millicent's words seemed to touch Laya, and she took the lead in welcoming the new friend.

"Then, I want to go with you too!"

"Eh?"

"What? You allow Millicent to go, but you don't allow me to go, right?" Pollyanna was quite angry at my questioning. She frowned and puffed up her face, and said angrily, "I want to go with you too!"

"Eh--"
