Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Boom boom boom——

There were strange visions in the sky and the sound of roaring fire.

By the time I noticed it, the raging fire had already torn apart most of the sky, and I could even see the black shadow inside with my naked eyes, rolling towards the wailing sand dunes.

"It's a meteor! Everyone, get away from Latan!" I roared with all my strength again.

But for those who have been caught up in the vortex of battle, it is not so easy to retreat.

"Ahhh!"

Latan roared and swung his Star-Breaking Sword wildly. If you were not careful, you might be chopped into meat paste by Latan before you could be hit by the meteorite.

But Blaze and the Crucible Knight of Red Lion City seemed to be in sync with each other.

The wings of the furnace glowed with golden light, and the greatsword in his hand spun a golden vortex, smashing towards Latan's head from mid-air.

Meanwhile, the phantom wolf was running fast below, and the pale royal giant sword was filled with icy and sharp murderous intent. From the other side, it swung at Latan's legs and feet with all its strength.

Latan could only hold two swords, one on the left and one on the right, to forcibly block the combined attack of Blaze and Furnace.

The red star is approaching.

The others quickly seized this opportunity and fled from Latarn as fast as they could.

The time was almost up, and Blaze and the Crucible Knight quickly unloaded their strength and retreated with the help of the thrust from the Starshattering Sword.

But the next second, a purple light suddenly appeared, and "Star Crusher" Latan raised his two swords and slammed them to the ground.

Gravity magic exploded, like the hands of countless undead, grabbing Furnace Knight and Blaze who hadn't gotten far yet, and dragging them several steps into the abyss of death.

At this moment, the strong air pressure with scorching heat is like a five-fingered mountain pressing down from above the head.

Blaze gritted his teeth and sprinted with all his strength, but it seemed that he was missing those few steps and could not escape the safe range of the falling meteorite...

At this moment, a chain hammer suddenly stretched out from the distance and tied his waist, and Blaze also subconsciously grabbed the hammer chain, and the whole person was suddenly pulled forward by a huge force.

boom--

The blazing fire fell onto the sand dunes, and the earth shook slightly!

The impact wave carried a scorching heat that blew away everything around it. Then, scarlet sand waves like a tsunami instantly spread in all directions, swallowing up the entire sand dune of thousands of square meters.

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!” After rolling in the wind and sand for several weeks, I slowly got up. My throat was dry and my lungs were choking and aching. I quickly prayed “Healing of Flame” and finally I caught my breath. “Brother Wolf, Brother Pot, are you all right?”

"Cough cough!" Blaze seemed to have been infected by the scarlet corruption as well.

I followed the sound and set him on fire as well.

Blaze finally had the strength to respond: "That was a close call. I thought I couldn't escape. Thank you so much, Zero."

"I have to thank Brother Hu. I can't pull you out with my own strength." I put away the Knox Fluid Hammer that I picked up earlier.

And Hu Ge's figure slowly emerged from the dust that was hard to dissipate: "Brother Ling, Brother Wolf, how are you? Are you all right?"

"It's nothing serious. Thank you, Alexander." Blaze thanked as he stood up.

"Hahaha! That was such a spectacular scene!" Alexander was actually in a mood to laugh out loud. "The legend of 'Star Shattering' is indeed true. The magic of a demigod can even control the falling stars!"

“······How should I put it? I think that is not a real star.” In this reality, I have observed Latarn’s fiery meteorite at close range, but from a scientific point of view, I think the power of the meteor should be more than that.

Even though the sand dunes somewhat mitigated some of the impact force, it only blew us away a few times from 20 to 30 meters away. I think that Latarn's gravity magic also somewhat limited the speed of the meteorite's fall, and it could only be considered a pseudo-meteor.

——Of course, in a sense, asteroids are not stars, right?

Then again, this guy Latan is too crazy.

——In the game, he will personally ride on the flaming meteorite and then smash it down.

——And he in this reality is even more brutal and ruthless. He actually uses himself as a target to attract the falling meteorites. It was not until the last moment that he used gravity magic to make himself fly up while making it difficult for the opponents around him to escape.

If I hadn't noticed it early, even if I had gone through Jerry and informed everyone that Latan would use the Meteor move, it would still be hard to defend against.

boom!

Another loud bang was heard in the smoke and dust, and then Latan's powerful and tearing roar once again resounded throughout the Weeping Dunes.

——The battle is far from over!

"Zero, do you think General Ratan can use that fireball move again?" Blaze asked me as he walked in the direction of the voice.

I followed his footsteps and answered him in detail: "Theoretically, it can only be used once, but... in reality, I can't say for sure."

"This voice... could it be the Knight Half-Wolf?" Suddenly, a stargazing magician from the Red Lion City emerged from the gradually settling sand and dust beside us. He looked pale and asked anxiously, "Oh, and Lord Ling, may I ask, have you seen Lord Jielian?"

Blaze and I looked at each other and could only shake our heads.

Even Alexander, who was able to penetrate the fog and search for intelligence around him, said: "Before the fire fell that day, I also sensed the Lord of Jerlian. He should be fine, but he is not nearby."

"What's wrong?" I asked the magician curiously.

"This... the situation is a bit bad. If you meet City Lord Jerlian, please tell him immediately." The magician frowned and said hastily, "The scarlet corruption has further devoured General Latan's power. Our attack is helping the corruption to erode the general's body. Right now, his starlight can no longer hold on."

"What do you mean? Could it be that if we continue the siege, Latan's body will fall before his consciousness?" I guessed what the stargazing magician meant.

The other party nodded: "It is better to say that even if we do nothing now, General Ratan's body will collapse first, and then fall completely."

This made our brains freeze for a moment.

——It turns out that in reality, Ratan is constantly losing health while fighting with us.

—At the same time, in his mind there was a battlefield between himself and the scarlet corruption.

The magician then added, "If we want to rescue General Latan as planned, we can no longer continue the attack, but must hurry up to carry out the healing. Otherwise, we can only return to the original purpose of the festival and bring the general to rest in peace."

--this······

"Hurry up and go find City Lord Jerlian." Blaze immediately made a decision, "Zero, Alexander, we have to tell the others this news and stop them from continuing to attack Latarn!"

"But dragging it out like this doesn't seem to be a solution, Brother Wolf." Alexander said, "I can feel that the general's strength has not decreased, but is rising. If you can't restrain him first, you can't heal General Latan."

—Still climbing?!

——Is this a last gasp? Once Latan is completely exhausted, our rescue plan may be completely over!

"... I will find a way to stuff the corrupt moss into his mouth. As for the rest, we can only wait and see." Blaze held the royal greatsword and moved forward.

But Alexander was right, if we couldn't reduce Latan's power, even getting close to him would be meaningless.

——So we have no choice but to give up the rescue plan?

Before I knew it, I was the only one left standing there in the vast world that had not yet dissipated.

Listening to the crazy and endless roar, it seemed to reveal Latan's unwillingness and helplessness.

I couldn't help but look at the Knox Fluid Hammer in my hand, wondering if I should switch to the Hound's Fang.

——What should I... do?
