Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After learning more about the relevant knowledge of body runeization from Teacher Se Lian, she also told me that the most effective way to deal with such enemies is to cause irreversible and lasting damage, such as amputation, or to keep the weapon inside the opponent's body after the gun or arrow penetrates.

In this way, the enemy transformed into a rune will be like a balloon with a hole in it, and the rune will continue to dissipate.

——Well, in actual combat, if we can really cause these two types of damage, victory isn’t far away.

In addition, since my intelligence has reached 12 points, I asked Teacher Se Lian to teach me two more types of magic - magic weapons and magic shields.

——Can add magical properties to weapons and shields to enhance power or defense.

Moreover, the Hound's Fang, which I use most often now, is known as the pioneering artifact of the magic circle. Another valuable feature is that in addition to the elemental damage that carries bleeding, it can also add other different elemental damage: magic, lightning, toxicity, and even double bleeding. This is something that most high-level weapons cannot do!

——Well, as for what will happen in reality, we will have to wait until I get those weapons.

After teaching me in detail how to draw two types of magic runes, Se Lian couldn't help but remind me: "Disciple, it is indeed a good thing to be eager to learn, but don't be impatient for success. You must slowly experience the mysteries of magic."

"Yes, I know." I smiled and patted the long bamboo tube that Se Lian had given me, and rolled up the parchment scroll. "Every time I learned a new magic or prayed, I used the method you taught me to draw it repeatedly until I could roughly draw it with my eyes closed."

"You can definitely draw it even if you close your eyes." Se Lian took another book from the bookshelf and handed it to me. "Read it when you have time. This book describes the basics of the pyroxene magic of the Rhea Lukalia Academy. Only when you truly master it, magic will become your weapon, rather than a double-edged sword that can hurt you."

——When it comes to teaching, Teacher Se Lian is as strict as ever.

I gladly accepted the book and said goodbye to Se Lian: "Well, teacher, I have to go first. I will come back after General Latan releases the stars... or if I encounter any problems, I will come back to ask you for advice."

Se Lian nodded: "Well, go ahead. May the stars guide your path forward, apprentice."

After leaving the basement on Yizhan Street, what I saw before my eyes was finally no longer the hazy, depressing red sky.

The early sun is bright and the sky is clear. I can finally take off my veil and smell the fresh air.

Call ~

If you smell it, it is cool and refreshing with a hint of sweet floral fragrance...

——Oh no, this smell is the smell of the poisonous Miranda flower that Teacher Se Lian planted at the entrance of the basement. I have to get away quickly to avoid being poisoned.

I remember when we set out from Red Lion City, it was also early in the morning. In a trance, I felt as if time had stopped.

However, the transmission of the blessing will also take a lot of time. Anyway, it should have been night when I got here.

After a whole night, I don't know how Laya, Lenia and the others are doing. Will they be running around in Stoneville in a panic? Hahaha~

It’s better to hurry over there so that they won’t worry too much.

So I blew the whistle, summoned my beloved horse Torret, and galloped across this land that I was so familiar with.

After crossing the short bridge at the northern foot of Lake Yakir and continuing forward, we soon arrived at the ruins in front of the checkpoint... Oh, it is no longer appropriate to call it ruins. The houses here have basically been rebuilt, and the towering watchtower is also being erected.

And it seems that a lot of troops have been gathered here today. Four or five black coffin cars were parked on both sides of the entrance. There was a lot of noise and people could be seen moving inside from a distance.

On the main road, a knight commander from Stonewell was still commanding a group of soldiers to pull a giant crossbow and rush towards me.

——I don’t think he’s here to attack me…

I pulled the reins and drove Torret closer, and was about to greet the knight commander and ask what was going on.

Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps and a strong threat came from the upper left.

I subconsciously took out my shield and hound tusk and turned around to look.

I saw a dark figure suddenly jump out from the black coffin cart parked on the side of the road, holding two golden axes high above his head and chopping towards me angrily.

——It’s Neferi!

I quickly raised my shield, but the opponent's chopping blow came with the force of thunder.

The powerful impact caused me to fall off Torrett's body.

Phew——

Torrett also let out a startled cry and quickly let it return to the whistle.

"Nefeli, I'm Zero!" I quickly reminded him, but this guy's fierce eyes didn't change at all, and he continued to chop at me with his two axes.

I had no intention of fighting, so I quickly rolled over to avoid the attack and continued to pull away from the village.

——By the way, what’s wrong with this guy? He attacked me without saying a word... Ah, I almost forgot, this seems to be my own damn request!

I turned around quickly, and before Nepheli could catch up with me, I cleared my throat and said, "Firebringer! I am the Firebringer!"

"Hmph!" Nefeli seemed to snort and laugh, but she didn't stop chasing her at all!

Her double axes once again brought up golden thunder, and she suddenly leaped forward, pouncing like a lion.

——What the hell is this guy doing!

——Could it be that Mr. Edson only synchronized with the fire-crazed people who were similar to me, and did not synchronize the secret code between us with Nepheli? !

——Impossible!

But since you insist on coming, I'll play with you.

I sighed and quickly dodged Nepheli's attack. After her attack missed, her legs bounced quickly in the direction I was dodging like springs, and her Storm Eagle Axe swept across.

but······

Combat skill - Storm Foot!

I stomped my foot on the ground, summoning the storm.

——Nepheli doesn’t like wearing heavy armor, so this move can easily interrupt the opponent’s attack.

At the same time, I accumulated my strength and then flew into the air.

Fighting skill——Lion Slash!

The hound's long fangs were like a lion's bloody mouth, biting towards the opponent below.

But in an instant, the golden thunder dragon rolled up a storm and came towards me with its fangs and claws bared.

when--

The three weapons violently chopped out dazzling sparks. The strong sound waves and impact force directly interrupted my Lion Slash, causing me to flip several times in the air and barely land on the ground steadily.

Nepheli only took two steps back and then stood firm. However, a smile finally appeared on her face: "Zero, it's you!"

"When I said the code word, you should have known that I was the real me, ahhh——" Just as I was complaining, Nepheli came over with a big laugh and patted my shoulder, causing me to howl subconsciously.

——My dear sister, my arms are numb from your lightning, please stop hitting me!

——By the way, do you warriors all like physical contact with others? Ishtopia likes to put his arm around others' shoulders, and Wolf Brother will pat people on the back when he's happy. You are the same, NeNe.

Nepheli laughed happily: "What's the matter? Didn't we greet each other like this when we first met?"

“······Come to think of it, this is how you and I greet each other every time we meet.” Nefeli’s words reminded me of the time in Platinum Village, when this guy rushed up to me and slashed at me without saying a word... Although Nefeli was in an unstable state at that time, and I was masked, so I couldn’t be recognized.

"It seems to be true. Let's greet each other like this from now on. I quite like it."

"Don't do that. I can't handle it."

"Hahaha~" Nepheli laughed heartily.

——However, it’s best that she’s fine and not depressed like in the game.

I couldn't help but be infected by her laughter, and I felt much happier: "By the way, Nefeli, your troops have gathered here, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm? Nothing much, just planning to hunt a dragon. How about joining us? Zero."
