Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Awooo!" Accompanied by a wolf howl, Blaze pounced forward with great momentum.

Combat skill - hound step!

I quickly turned the rune magic to distance myself from Blaze. At the same time, I took advantage of the moment when the hound's steps disappeared and quickly ran to a small door on the side of the square.

——There is a terrace outside the school building. Previously, the magicians of the academy defended against the cuckoo attacks coming from the rooftops here.

"Where is Lord Zero? Don't let him run away!" With a shout, suddenly several rays of pyroxene magic gravel flashed past me.

—Oh my god, isn’t this a game of cops and robbers? Which bastard is serious about this?

This reminded me of when I challenged the Full Moon Queen. The group of apprentices said they wanted to play with me, but they were bombarding me with magic in their hands.

——Could it be that this is how all games in this world are played? !

I ran through the passage behind the small door and stepped onto the steps leading to the terrace.

Turning around, I saw that the group of guys hadn't caught up with me yet. I quickly used my Storm Feet to jump hard, grabbed the second-floor wall at the top of the passage, and lay on it like a gecko.

——Just climb in a little further and you will see the overpass leading from the square to the Great Library.

But the noise coming from below made people afraid to move or make a sound.

"Master Zero seems to be escaping to the roof of the school building!"

"He will definitely go to the Azalea Church. Send someone to intercept him there!"

······

After passing through the small passage, most people ran straight towards the roof of the school building without even looking up.

I was slightly relieved, but someone turned back and glanced at the wall above the door: "Oh, I found it, Zero is here!"

The next second, a hurricane surged from below, and Nepheli shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't fall!"

——It’s over, this guy is a stand of the same type as me!

I quickly used both hands to lift myself up and flipped over the wall, and was almost caught by Nepheli.

If I ran directly to the overpass, it would be too obvious and I would be blocked by people, and finally I would be trapped in the alley of the library. I was just about to run down from the stairs on the balcony.

As a result, Lenia came with her men to intercept them again: "Master Ling, please come and join us at the banquet!"

"You guys just play and have fun, why do you have to drag me along?" I complained while quickly climbing over the fence and jumping directly to the bottom of the square.

——Ouch, it hurts so much. My feet are numb from all the throbbing. It must be because my blood was deducted.

"You are the key person who connects Stonewell and Kalia. How can the banquet be without the protagonist?!" Nefeli did not give him a chance to breathe and also jumped down directly from the balcony.

I dodged the attacks of several drunk men and ran towards the discussion room.

I had somewhat shaken off Nepheli and the other pursuers. After hesitating for half a second at the entrance of the discussion room, I still used the hound pace and took the opportunity to hide my figure and ran towards the cliff on the right side of the discussion room exit.

- If I remember correctly, there is a small path here that leads to the second floor of the discussion room and obtains the portrait amulet of Radagon.

——Although now is not the time to take the amulet.

I got through the broken window and entered the second floor of the discussion room. The lights were flickering and there were actually quite a few people inside. I was so scared that I quickly shrank back, fearing that I would be seen by the people below.

However, most of the people left in the discussion room were pyroxene magicians. Seven or eight out of ten of these guys were wearing stone-shielded helmets, and they didn't know how to eat.

But it seems that there are too many busybodies in Stonewell.

The next second, there was a noise from below.

"Everyone, did you see Zero running in?" Very good, Nefeli really didn't know how to get to the second floor, and she led everyone back to the discussion room.

Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief and take a break...

"Ouch!" Blaze's tall figure appeared outside the broken window on the second floor, shouting triumphantly, "Zero, you can't escape my nose, just surrender."

—Damn it, Brother Wolf, do you really want to see me make a fool of myself?

He seemed to be so drunk that he had reverted to his wild animal instincts, and after finding me hiding under the railings, he pounced on me using his hands and feet.

I fell directly on my back, and just when Blaze was about to pounce on me, I raised my feet and kicked him hard in the stomach, knocking him off the second floor without any defense.

But Blaze was followed by others, such as Patch, a cunning old man, who came over with a smile on his face: "Hey, old man, you are here as expected. Hand over the bounty obediently."

——I say, you have completely misunderstood your purpose, right?! How can I give you a reward?

There was no way to reason with the drunkard, so I quickly stood up, rushed to the balcony outside the second floor, jumped down, and woke up the little warriors who were sleeping there.

"Is this guy a rabbit? How can he jump so much?" Patch poked his head out from the balcony.

I was already being driven towards the square by the little warriors. Next, I jumped over the cliff and ran towards the big slope of the library.

There are only two bare, slanted bridge piles from the square to there, and there are abysses underneath on both sides. Even if those drunk guys want to chase after them, they have to think twice.

I had just run a few steps after making up my mind when I heard Lenya's voice again: "Master Zero~"

When I turned my head, I saw a beam of purple-red light coming straight towards me.

——Wow, this girl actually brought all those big monsters here!

"Zero, don't run!" Wolf brother Blaze also ran out of the discussion room with his men and chased after him.

I couldn't help but be extra cautious. Just as the beam of light caught up with me and then exploded, I flipped forward with all my strength and avoided the binding magic.

However, Blaze, who was flying over, didn't pay any attention to the purple-red light. As a result, he was restrained in mid-air and fell to the ground with a roar.

——Hahaha, I told you to chase so fast!

I ran to the edge of the cliff, aimed at the bridge pillar and jumped down.

Everyone exclaimed. It seemed that these outsiders didn't know that this was the shortest path leading to the slope, and they thought I had jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.

"He's heading towards the Big Library! Go chase him over the overpass!" By the time they realized what was happening, I had already started running up the slope.

Fortunately, the rockfall trap here had been stopped, and they ran all the way to the small square in front of the library without any hindrance.

No one is chasing me from the overpass yet, but given Brother Wolf's sharp nose, even if I run down without thinking, he will catch me.

So, I simply took off the clothes from Dujuan that I was still wearing, ran towards the overpass and threw them down.

Then, using hound steps, he stepped onto the elevator to the library.

After it reached the top, I stepped on the middle pedal to make it descend on its own, thus covering my tracks.

——Well, if someone happens to see me descending, I’ll be completely exposed.

But I can’t care less now. I’ve already reached a dead end, so I might as well hide deeper.

I carefully pushed open the door of the library, and it was just as dark and deserted inside as when I came here last time, as if it was embracing the entire night.

I swallowed subconsciously, closed the door and continued walking inside.

——Why not just hide deep in the library, behind the statue of Radagon? Even if those guys come, they may not be able to find it.

As I thought about this, I lit the portable lantern and walked deeper into the cave.

But suddenly, a gentle and peaceful voice came from the endless darkness. She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and there was a hint of joy in her words: "You are here, Ling."

I was slightly startled and raised my head in the direction of the sound.

It was just like the opening animation of the first encounter with the "Full Moon Queen" Lenarra in the game, but this time, it was a dark blue and cold moon slowly falling from the center of the library.
