Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

When I brought the "Full Moon Queen" Renara and her apprentices out of the Rhea Lukalia Academy through the portal and came to the Church of Bonding, late at night, a gaze from behind made my hair stand on end and my whole body shudder.

——Bell Hunter!

——Like the Night Rider, this is a field boss that appears at night. He is good at using a strange flying sword and is known as a tough dog monster together with the Furnace Knight. He is a super tricky guy.

And this church of affinity will attract this kind of monster at night!

I quickly pulled out the hound's fang and turned around.

Deep in the dark church, there was no figure that looked like a mass of blood. Instead, there was a huge head on the broken wall.

When he looked at us, he roared restlessly: "Ah——"

"Ooooh! A dragon! It's a dragon, Mom!"

"This is the first time I've seen a real dragon!"

"Zero, Zero, is this the dragon you summoned? That's awesome!"

The apprentices were immediately in an uproar.

I was full of questions. When did a pyroxene dragon appear in the Church of Destiny? Could it be...

"Adula, are there any guests outside?" A slow and steady voice came from the church, answering my question.

——It is indeed the Pyroxene Dragon from Lani’s family!

——But why is this guy here?

When Adullah heard the other person's voice, he turned his head suddenly, just like a dog hearing his owner's call, and ran into the depths of the church with his tail and big butt wagging.

The apprentices also shouted and immediately crawled after him.

"······Lani." Lenara suddenly called softly.

I quickly turned my head and saw her eyes fixed on the statue facing the gate of the Church of Marriage.

——The Pool of Atonement. According to legend, after the golden hero Radagon married Lena, he bathed himself in the tears of stars here to express his sincere repentance for the war of aggression and vowed his love for the queen until his death.

——As for what happened afterwards, he was a typical scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

In the game, the role of the Pool of Atonement is to repair the relationship with the NPCs that you have unintentionally harmed. Even offending Lani and attempting to turn her into a puppet can be forgiven.

——Well, I have a pretty good relationship with everyone, so I don’t need to atone for my sins.

He helped Lena walk into the church, and saw that the dragon was lying on the shell of a large silver turtle with a white leader's hat. It was scratching the turtle with its claws and gnawing left and right with its big mouth, like a minnow gnawing on a large bone that was hard to swallow.

The apprentices gathered around, marveling at the performance.

The big turtle looked nonchalant. When he saw Lenara, he immediately bent down devoutly and lowered his head: "Oh, your Majesty, I didn't expect you to actually come... You entrusted me with the management of this church, but I let it fall into disrepair like this. It's really shameful... I, Miliye, apologize to you."

——Hey, hey, hey, does this matter? Sparks are coming out of your carapace, hey!

——Is red bean paste okay?

——Otherwise, you should just be angry, Teacher Mi!

Queen Lenara naturally did not react much, but stroked the amber jade in her arms twice and called out: "Oh, my child... Lenara."

——Then I will have to explain it for you.

I cleared my throat lightly and said, "Nice to meet you, Bishop Miliye..."

"Oh, are you the faded master named 'Zero'? It's our first meeting, you can just call me Miliye, don't be shy." The big turtle smiled kindly like an old grandfather.

I was a little surprised: "Huh? Do you know me?"

The other party nodded slowly: "Lady Dark Moon Princess has mentioned you to me. She said that you will bring the queen here, and then let Yadula lend a hand and take you and the queen back to Kalia Castle."

Miliye's words were somewhat unexpected to me.

The plan that Lani and I made probably didn't include details that would allow me to bring Queen Reinala back to Kalia from the Church of Bonding.

——Could it be that she had already calculated all this when we parted last time? !

——So, after Adula drove me to the East Coast last time, he has actually been staying in the Church of Marriage?

but······

I still couldn't help but point at the stupid dragon and ask, "Well, um, are you really okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, thank you for your concern, Master Zero." Miliye smiled kindly and said, "Adulla has liked playing with me like this since she was a child. Besides, my body is no different from the rocks on the roadside, so it's no big deal."

——······Speaking of which, the big turtle Millie should be the unit with the most health in the Elden Magic Ring.

——It reminds me of a certain scumbag who spent fifteen minutes chopping at Teacher Mi before he confessed his sin.

"I'm glad you're okay." That was all I could say, and then I turned around and called out, "Adura, do you still recognize me?"

Adura seemed to understand what I said. He raised his eyes, tilted his head, stretched his neck and came over to look at me, then suddenly roared, "Ah——"

It was like a violent storm blowing in my face. The foul breath mixed with saliva made my body stagger, my eyelids tremble, and my ears buzz.

——This stupid dragon seems to be itching for trouble.

"Oh, my child, speak softly and don't disturb others." Lenara instinctively protected me behind her and raised her hand towards Adura.

The pyroxene dragon also recognized its master and immediately put away its perverse side. It even had a smile on its face and rubbed its pyroxene-covered head against the other's hand.

——What a difference in treatment.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

I secretly made up my mind that next time I go up to the Moonlight Altar, I will give this bastard a good beating.

Since Adura recognized the "Full Moon Queen" Reinara, I helped the queen sit on its dragon's back.

The apprentices also climbed up excitedly, chattering like sparrows:

"Oh, we're going to ride a flying dragon, are we flying?"

“The world outside is really interesting.”

"Mom, I'm a little scared."

······

"Don't worry. Yadula is surprisingly flying quite steadily. If you are scared, just grab the crystals or hairs on its back. This guy shouldn't feel any pain anyway." I told everyone.

"Zero, don't you want to come play with us?"

"Well, I still have things to do. I'll come find you later." After arranging the people, I jumped off the dragon's back, even worried that the Adulla would be overloaded and unable to fly. "Okay, let's go back to Kalia Castle."

Adula looked at me, a hint of confusion in her little eyes, and then she stretched out her mouth and tried to pick me up.

——Are you following the master's orders and preparing to take me back to Kalia Castle?

However, there is nothing urgent to go back there now, so I still plan to return to Stonewell directly to see the deployment of Nepheli's troops.

Fortunately, I had Miliye as my translator, who helped me explain everything to Adula. Then the flying dragon spread its wings and flew steadily towards the direction of Kalia Castle.

"Fly slower and be careful!" Millie reminded loudly.

A loud dragon roar was heard in the sky, and in response, in a blink of an eye, Adula carried everyone into the night sky.

——I hope there won’t be any drama of falling apart halfway.

"Well, it's time for me to go. I'll come visit you again next time, Miliye." I said goodbye to the big turtle.

The other party also bowed his head and sincerely blessed: "Then I will not try to keep you, Master Ling. Please bear with the royal family's affairs. May the full moon grant you glory and illuminate the way forward."

"Well, goodbye." I trotted out of the Church of Bonding, ready to summon Melina to take me on the blessing teleportation when Miliye couldn't see me.

Inadvertently, the sound of the wind brought a familiar feeling.

The old turtle seemed to whisper something: "······You are still the same as before·····"

I turned around curiously, and saw a faint blue glow floating on the statue facing the church door.
