Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

We had just set foot on the Yatan Plateau, but right as we got there, our "tour guide" Laya took us to a place that ripped off tourists.

I saw that beside the pond on the mountainside, it seemed as if a major car accident had occurred. Countless black coffin cars were piled up on top of each other in a haphazard manner, like a maze.

The ground was littered with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, cloth armor, and bloody debris.

Even the raging wind could not dispel the thick smell of blood that permeated the air.

No wonder Wolf Brother Blaze frowned and looked highly alert as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

At the scene of the accident, a large black lump of flesh noticed us, and walked over with a large axe in hand, yelling incoherently: "Where did you come from, little one..."

——Son of evil omen!

Just like the "evil omen demon" Markit that he had met before, he should have been a humanoid monster covered with horns, but the guy in front of him had red spots all over his body.

After all, after the arrival of gold, children with horns would be considered a bad omen, and would be thrown into the wilderness to fend for themselves after their horns were removed. Even children of nobles or even royal families with horns would be thrown into the sewers of the royal city, never to see the light of day again.

As for why it is called a bad omen.

Simply put, this is actually just a phenomenon of atavism, just like among modern people, if a child is born with a body covered with hair, he will be regarded as a monster.

The long horns are a symbol of the return of the people of the borderland. Before the Golden Law ruled the borderland, the Hundred Phases of the Furnace were the basic laws, and thus all kinds of creatures were born.

At that time, the king of the borderland was the dragon clan, and the gene for growing horns might also be related to dragons.

But after the Gu Long War, the real Gu Long gradually declined. The rulers of the time would naturally give this freak with the implication of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming" an evil omen and such a bad reputation.

While I was thinking about it, Pollyanna, who had a bad temper, had already started a fight with the son of bad omen: "Ugly, get out of my way if you know what's best for you, or I'll teach you a lesson."

"Ugly, ugly freak? I, including the eldest, only have four of us, how can there be eight?" The son of bad omen, who was still wearing a tattered cape and golden ripped pants around his waist, counted on his fingers stupidly, "You have seven, including me, so you are exactly the ugly freak."

"Huh? How did you count? There are eight of us!"

"Eight, eight? One, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Look, seven."

——What is Lu Xiaoguo’s counting method.

——By the way, Pollyanna, you insist on arguing with him about the number of people. What if he just says that there are exactly eight of us, so we are ugly?

Pollyanna was still arguing with the silly omen, when suddenly a rougher and deeper voice rang out from the group of black coffin cars: "Old Five, what are you yelling about?"

We couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and saw that the sturdy Son of Evil Omen, who was also wearing a cloak and holding a machete, stood up from the stacked black coffin cart, even blocking the glow from the golden tree.

And three more evil omens either climbed over the black coffin car or slowly walked out of the maze.

One of the guys was even gnawing on a bloody piece of meat... Whose arm was that?

I couldn't help but clench my hound's fangs, and the others around me also became more alert.

The ominous leader looked at us with contempt. "Golden Natives... No, are there a few more Faded? You unexpectedly showed up in our territory. Forget it, you guys are lucky today. We are still full. Leave your things and get out of here."

"That's right, that's right, leave your things and get out of here!" The stupid evil omen shouted after his boss.

——Is he really a robber?

However, in such troubled times, it is not uncommon to encounter robbers.

Pollyanna spoke for us: "Huh? That's a nice thought. Can you do it?"

"Hmph! That's perfect. We guys are tired of eating dry pieces of meat these days. It would be nice to try some tender meat with fine skin!" the leader said.

The other three brothers below immediately picked up their weapons and rushed over quickly.

"Everyone be careful!" I quickly protected Laya behind me. The evil omen that rushed over threw the piece of meat in his mouth towards me, then raised the axe and smashed it at me.

Since we will encounter similar monsters in the future, especially in the sewers of the royal city, it is estimated that we cannot avoid the bad omen.

I have set up my brass shield and now is a good time to do a confrontation test.

when--

The Son of Evil Omen was indeed powerful. He blocked the attack with a clang, but his arm behind the shield was slightly numb.

But, watch me defend and counterattack!

I swung the curved sword and chopped it down at the shoulder of the evil omen.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't dodge or evade. He took the attack head-on and then reached straight for my chest with his left hand in the shape of a claw.

It was like an attack by a wild beast. It should have just grazed him, but the cloth armor on his body was still torn into three or two cracks by this evil omen. The whole person was inevitably tilted by his attack, and the axe came down on his head again.

——Since the difference in our strength is not too great, we should be able to block this move.

I held the hound's tusk horizontally and took the blow from the son of bad omen.

Bang!

Ok?

The strange sound seemed to have been heard when I challenged the lava earth dragon just now.

My eyes subconsciously fell on the place where the hound's tusk collided with the ominous axe. The blade trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a tiny crack on it.

——No way, the hound's fangs are going to be chopped off? !

I quickly tried my best to deflect the opponent's attack, turned around and slashed at the Son of Evil Omen.

The opponent's reaction was quite quick, and he swung his axe back.

Bang!

The blades rang and flames burst out.

I was thinking about stepping back and creating some distance, but the Son of Evil Omen had already opened his arms and pounced on me like a hungry tiger.

——It’s these guys’ throwing skills!

Combat skill - hound step!

With super fast movement, I dodged the attack of the evil omen like lightning and got behind him.

——I’m afraid that the hound Changya can’t withstand a few blocks, we have to get rid of this guy as soon as possible!

The curved sword scratched his palm, blood and runes moistening the blade. He turned around and was about to draw a round dance, slashing at the evil omen.

But unexpectedly, another dark shadow rushed out from the side. I had to quickly change my tactics and swung my long fangs at the sudden opponent without thinking twice.

Bang!

Blood splattered, and a glimmer of crystal light passed by the corner of his eyes.

The hound's fang, my old friend, was broken by that ominous blow!

"You, you seem to be the leader of this gang, right?" He was the leader of the evil omen bandits. He smiled contemptuously, "What a vulnerable weapon. You are next!"

Without giving me time to distance myself and change weapons, the evil boss, holding the machete in both hands, spun towards me.

——This guy is even stronger than his younger brother and is not easy to resist.

I leaned back and bent down to avoid the spinning slash, and at the same time swung my hand and threw the broken fangs towards the face of the evil omen.

The other party had no choice but to raise his knife to block it, but by then, I had already retreated to a safe distance.

······I still can't believe it, the hound's fangs just broke like that?!

After all, in the game of Ring of Magic, there is no such thing as durability for weapons... However, in reality, it seems that this is not the first time that I have broken an item. Not to mention the shield, my first staff was shattered by a pyroxene explosion.

——However, without the hound’s fangs, what weapon would be better to use in the future?

But now, it’s too late for me to think about the future.

The Millicent sisters dealt with one evil omen, Brother Wolf dealt with one, and Diaros, who had not yet recovered from his mental state, dealt with one together with Brother Shrimp.

As soon as "Big Horn" Telages saw that my weapon was broken, he hurried over and helped me divert the guys who had attacked me before.

The evil omen boss, carrying a machete, walked towards me fiercely: "You are quite a runner, but I want to see how long you can run!"

coming soon!

I quickly put up my shield and summoned a straight sword from my blessed backpack.

However, I haven’t unlocked the blessing point nearby yet. It will take some time to summon it from the ancient ruins cliff.

But at this moment, suddenly, a red thunder fell from the air.

An extremely loud roar shook the entire world: "Roar——"
