Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

In order to restrict Latan and then use Corruption Moss and "Healing of Fire" to help him suppress corruption, it is necessary to weaken Latan's power.

If you want to weaken his power, you have to fight.

But as the battle progressed, the more wounded Latan became, the weaker his body became, and the more easily it was corroded by corruption.

Our rescue plan would mean bankruptcy.

Besides, even if everything is fine for us now, according to what the stargazing magician said, Latan's body can no longer withstand the erosion of corruption...

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

With a loud roar, a sudden burst of purple light forced the dust that filled the surroundings back to the ground.

In front of him, "Star Crusher" Ratan was holding a double blade, slashing wildly at Blaze and others around him. He even used the debris from the meteorite just now to drive gravity magic around his shoulders.

Once the target is locked, it will bombard it like a cannonball.

Blaze had obviously told everyone nearby the news he had just received, and everyone's offensive slowed down at the same time.

But this would inevitably make Latan, who had already lost his mind, even more unscrupulous.

The great sword that absorbed the gravel slashed with one blow, directly chopping Alexander and sending him flying;

The meteorite cannon behind him locked onto the target and hit the big-horned goth Terragus with one blow. Even though he was wearing heavy goat-suit armor, he was knocked to the ground in a daze.

Seeing this, the nearby furnaces quickly raised their shields and stepped forward to help block another heavy blow from Latan, but even he could not bear the pressure, and some rune light emerged from his body.

——Is this guy really dying?

——They are still completely suppressing us!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Blaze quickly called out to the old man and "Fearless" Lionel nearby to rush over and help the Crucible Knight and "Big Horn" Telages escape.

But the next second, Latan rode his warhorse, danced his two swords in a circle, and swept everyone away with the force of a tornado.

——Look, if we can't weaken Latan's power, how can we limit him? !

——So we can only give up then?

——Is there any way to weaken Latan from the outside?

Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly fell on Latan's warhorse!

By the way, perhaps due to the madness of corruption, Latan had already cut off his own legs, so he had to rely on a warhorse to move.

——Then, if we just get rid of that warhorse, can't we also restrict Latan?

But there is still a doubt. The warhorse has completed the rune transformation. Even though it had been hit by the old man's fighting skill "Corpses Everywhere" and my "Wolf Attack Blood Dance" before, the guy didn't seem to be in any serious trouble... So where did its rune power come from?

I let out a long breath and passed by Alexander who was knocked to the ground by Latan. "Brother Hu, you can feel the strength of Latan, right? Next, can you help me keep an eye on it? I have a hypothesis that needs to be verified."

"Brother Zero, do you have any ideas?" Alexander's voice was panting, and he also touched his chest with his hand.

"Well, I want to target that warhorse."

"Warhorse? Oh, so this demigod rides a warhorse. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the horse neighing sound I heard was an illusion." Alexander laughed bitterly.

—Hmm? Could it be that Alexander, like me when I first started playing the game, didn’t realize that Latarn was actually riding a horse?

I asked in confusion, "Alexander, can you only feel the magical power of Latarn?"

“Yes, he is worthy of being a demigod. I didn’t expect him to be so powerful.” Alexander exclaimed, “In my opinion, General Ratan is like a burning fire, and his arrogance almost touches a corner of the sky, hahahaha!”

Alexander's words made me more certain of my guess, and I couldn't help but tighten my grip on the Knox Fluid Hammer.

At the same time, I have to change to a lighter and more portable weapon... a dagger!

——But I don’t have any useful dagger!

"Oh, Pollyanna!" I looked around quickly and soon found the figure who was performing the silk prayer. "Pollyanna!"

"Ah? So you're not dead yet!" Pollyanna came up and retorted to me.

"Don't talk about this for now. Lend me a dagger."

"what?"

"please!"

Pollyanna frowned and looked me up and down, then actually threw her dagger at me: "Remember to return it to me in person."

"Yeah." I held her mission dagger in my left hand... Yeah, what a mistake. I remember that this thing requires a lot of faith? But I only have twelve points.

Whatever, at least it’s better than the junk in my backpack!

I gripped the mission dagger tightly and rushed towards Latan.

Latan, who was repelling Blaze and others again, soon locked his target on me. He roared, and the meteorite fragments on his shoulders blasted towards me quickly.

Combat skill - small steps!

The rune magic resonated with Pollyanna's dagger, and the scene of the combat skills appeared in my mind instantly. I quickly activated the magic power and slid to the side, quickly passing the meteorite cannon.

But the pull of gravity caused my body to shake.

——No wonder Brother Wolf and the others were so slow in their movements just now. It seems that it’s not only because it’s difficult to hurt Latan, but also because every attack of Latan now comes with the effect of gravity magic, which absorbs everything around it like a magnet.

And Latan would naturally not miss the moment when I staggered. His warhorse suddenly leaned forward, and his whole body was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He opened both blades and slashed at me.

——You came just in time!

I quickly threw out the Knox Fluid Hammer with one hand and fluidized it at the same time.

Just like Spider-Man's silk, the moment the hammer wrapped around the warhorse's ankle, I pulled hard with my hand and used the fighting skill "broken steps" at the same time.

In this instant, I dodged Latan's attack from below and pulled myself under his horse!

The dagger was used extremely quickly. In an instant, I slashed it four or five times, causing the Rune light in the warhorse's body to splash everywhere.

Phew——

——Even if he is as strong as Latan, it is not easy to attack the guy under him!

He could only raise his double blades and smash them hard on the ground, trying to use gravity magic to suck me in front of him.

Combat skill - fluidization!

I used the Knox Fluid Hammer in my hand again, tied the warhorse's right rear leg, and then after I was pulled, I pulled with all my strength. Once again, before his two swords fell, I used the agility of "broken steps" to dodge to the side and back of the warhorse, and then quickly swung a few times.

"Ahhh!"

Latan seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and he quickly drove his warhorse to distance himself from me, then turned his horse back and drew his sword, slashing backwards.

——This trick has caused me to suffer before, how can I let you succeed again?

I watched the coming direction of the Star-Breaking Greatsword, took two quick steps, adjusted my position, then swung out the Knox Fluid Hammer once again, tied up the warhorse's legs and feet, pulled myself over quickly, and when I got close enough I threw a flame pot directly onto the horse's belly.

boom--

Even I feel that I am more annoying than mosquitoes in summer.

No matter how hard Latan tried to shake me off, the fluid hammer's flexible extension and retraction combined with his light and agile steps meant that despite his great strength, he was powerless against me.

"Ahhhh-"

Latan roared angrily once again. His high-pitched roar was filled with magical penetration and even a corrosive and burning aura that slammed towards me like a wave.

This time the all-round sonic attack forced me to step back temporarily.

As soon as he caught sight of me, Latan's Star Crusher came crashing down on me.

but······

when!

Blaze, "Big Horn" Telages, the Crucible Knight, and even Jeremiah rushed out from the side, and the four of them worked together to help me block Latan's greatsword.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It really helped a lot!

——To be honest, when I dodged for the last time, my rune magic had just run out and my nerves were a little dazed for a moment.

"Zero, what's wrong?" Blaze asked with concern.

I won't waste any more words: "Lord Jie Lian, let everyone focus their firepower on the general's horse. I have a feeling that will be the key to breaking the deadlock!"

Jie Lian believed me without hesitation and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers and warriors of Red Lion City! A few of us will block the general's attack, and the rest of you will aim at the horses and attack with all your strength!"

All of a sudden, fluorescent green pyroxene, crimson flames, dark comets... countless magic spells and countless prayers were thrown towards the poor guy under Latan.

Latan was furious and took out his longbow, wanting to shoot at the magicians and prayer prophets, but the Wings of the Furnace blocked the sky!

Combat skill - Otopis's whirlpool.

A round of golden light hammered down on Latan's longbow, forcing him to stop.

Just during this pause, the magic and prayer actually exploded under Latan's body!

"Ahhh-"

Large patches of golden Rune light drifted towards the sky which was gradually turning into night.

And that powerful demigod, for the first time, finally knelt down on the sand dune, pressing his warhorse.
