Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After changing into the new Kalia Knight Suit - Night Edition and taking a short rest at the Rhea Lukalia Academy, I prepared to take the Dragon Express with the "Full Moon Queen" Reinara to the Red Lion City of Galid.

"I have asked someone to inform Jerlian that they should be ready to welcome you." After helping the queen onto the dragon's back, Iggy said to me, "I hope everything goes well and that Lord Latan can reunite with Lady Ranee one day."

"Well, wait for my good news." I nodded, but also asked with some doubt, "Brother Wolf, Mugram, aren't you going with us?"

Before Blaze could speak, Iggy answered for him: "Blaze, the princess has something else to do, so I hope Master Ling will take care of the protection."

Mugram was still hanging his head at the side: "I am so sad. If I didn't have to reorganize Dujuan, I would definitely be obliged to protect the queen, but... Zero, my knight friend, I can only ask you for help."

"Well, don't worry, in the name of Knight Kalia!" I saluted to everyone.

"In the name of the Knights of Kalia, may the stars guard your path."

After saying goodbye, I also sat on the back of the pyroxene dragon Adura.

"Roar--"

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, in the blink of an eye, we leaped into the quiet and deep night sky.

Adura even leaped above the sea of ​​clouds, looking at the vast sky. Under the brilliant light of the golden tree, I seemed to have really found a faint, dark blue star, beating slightly like a heart.

I have to say, although Adura isn't very smart as a dragon, he flies pretty steadily.

I sat on the dragon's back and closed my eyes to rest for a while. When I was awakened by the familiar pungent smell, the scarlet land of Gallid had already spread out in front of me.

"Oh, my poor child." Queen Lenara turned around after hearing my cough.

She raised her hand and covered my head with it. The gemstones on the wrist armor shone with the pure white moonlight. When it sprinkled on me, it seemed to wash away the scarlet and rotten dust. At least I no longer smelled the pungent smell in my nose.

"Thank you." I raised my head in surprise and met Queen Lenara's smiling eyes.

I don’t know if she really sees me as one of those apprentices.

——But, the queen was indeed a mother who doted on her children excessively. Unfortunately, the three children of the La family had a miserable fate, so much so that the mother herself fell into mental disorder.

——If, this time, I can really rewrite Latan’s fate and help Lani completely break free from the control of the two fingers.

——Will Queen Reinara also be able to recover? Then, with her mother's concern, will Renee not leave the border after implementing the law?

There is some possibility. After all, in my opinion, Lani is not a cold-hearted person. Even if she is a cold puppet, she must have a warm heart.

······What do you think Lakkad should do?

Add an egg to the cold dish.

However, the memory stone that Lani gave me, which contains the calming magic, still has one chance to be used. Perhaps, when the snake reaches the second stage, using it can help Lakkad regain some of his sanity?

Worth a try.

But now, let’s just pray that things will go smoothly.

As the sky gradually brightened, the Red Lion City, standing alone in the sea, suddenly came into our sight.

"Adula, that's it!" I quickly commanded the flying dragon to land in the square of Red Lion City.

"Ao~" Adula roared loudly, attracting the attention of the soldiers in Red Lion City.

It circled twice in the air, and when it saw that the people below had no hostility, it flapped its wings and landed on the red sand with a bang, startling the two ominous lions and causing them to roar angrily.

Of course, Adula was not someone to be trifled with, and he immediately yelled back noisily.

"Shh, don't be too noisy, kid." Lena frowned slightly and quickly comforted the amber jade in her arms, "You will wake up your sister."

——······You can’t wake me up, Your Majesty.

I shook my head helplessly. When I saw the familiar figure of Mr. Jie Lian, who was rushing over with a group of Red Lion soldiers, I quickly jumped off the dragon's back and went to greet him, "Lord Jie Lian!"

"Zero!" Jellian also came forward excitedly. "I heard everything from Igi's messenger. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Lienia... As a former Kalia Knight, I should have contributed my part."

"Well, now that everything has been resolved, then everything is fine. By the way, is the general doing well?"

"I can only say the same thing as always. We have tried our best to delay the erosion of the scarlet corruption on the general's body. I wonder..." Jeremiah raised his head and seemed to have just seen the "Full Moon Queen" Reinara. He hurriedly bowed solemnly and saluted, "Oh, Her Majesty the Queen is here in person. Please forgive us for not welcoming you in person."

But Lenara didn't react.

Jellian could only approach me carefully and asked, "Is Lady Reinala still in a trance, Zero?"

"Uh... I can only believe it for now." I spread my hands. "Let's take the queen to see General Latan first. Maybe she will react after seeing her own biological child."

Seeing this situation, Jie Lian really had no choice but to trust my judgment for now.

I supported Lena and followed Jeremiah to Latan's exclusive ward. Perhaps this place was cast with the same magic as the one that was cast on me. It was so pure that there was not a trace of corruption. It was hard to imagine that there was such a place in Gaileed.

General Latan, whose body was as huge as a mountain, lay on the couch in the middle of the room. Three finger witches guarded him. One used restorative prayer to heal Latan, while the other two used fire healing to suppress the erosion of scarlet corruption.

As for the general himself, he is still in an endless coma. Only the faint rise and fall of his chest tells us that he is still alive and is constantly fighting against the scarlet corruption.

"Ah...ah, my child." Sure enough, after seeing Latan, the Queen was moved. The trembling in her body was transmitted to me through her arms. Tears overflowed from her lifeless eyes, gradually reflecting the light of the stars.

I suddenly felt a slight heat in my chest, as if something was about to burst out.

——It is the Scepter of Kalia, a symbol that belongs exclusively to the Queen, just like the full moon.

"Lady Lenara, do you need this?" I summoned the scepter and handed it to the other party.

The moment Lenara's fingertips touched the scepter, the bright moonlight filled the entire room!

As the refreshing breeze caressed her cheeks, the queen slowly opened her eyes, and the blue magic light surged like a tide.

The mother who had become numb and demented because of her child's tragic experience has disappeared without a trace. In her place is the magic supreme being, the Full Moon Queen, who once rivaled the prosperous Golden Dynasty and was like the elegant night!

"Zero, my reliable child, did you bring the amber starlight?" But her voice was as gentle and clear as ever. It was none other than Lena who had helped me in that illusion.

"Yeah." I quickly took out the Amber Starlight from the blessing backpack.

Lenara directly used magic to wrap it, control it, and crush it into powder. Then she gently waved the scepter, and it turned into a golden ribbon and drilled into General Latan's mouth.

"Next, use this starlight to carry Latan's fate and pull out the source of his remaining soul. It will take some time for me, so please leave me alone with this child." Lenarra said this, and the pyroxene on the top of Kalia's scepter was as bright as the full moon.

Jie Lian and I looked at each other, and naturally followed her orders and led everyone out of the room.

——After all, the city lord and I don’t know any advanced magic, and we will only leave annoying breathing sounds inside and disturb the queen’s attention.

And as Queen Lenara herself said, the entire spellcasting process is quite time-consuming.

Before I knew it, the sky had once again turned from bright to dark, and there was still no movement inside.

Through the window, Lena was like a statue, holding a staff towards Latan, chanting spells continuously, constructing pale magic runes that I had never seen before, and summoning three white balls that were constantly circling around Latan like satellites.

At first, I didn't feel anything special.

After all, everything that can be done has been done, and what comes next can only be left to the Queen herself.

But Jie Lian was like a family member in front of the operating room. He was always restless, waiting at the door and looking inside from time to time.

"Calm down, Lord Jellian." I was also a little uneasy because of him. "We have done everything we can. Lady Reinara has done the same. After knowing this, she has been accumulating strength for today. So, it will definitely succeed."

"...You're right, Zero." Jerry sighed, "But I'm not worried about anything."

"That?"

"Haha, it's ridiculous to say this, but what I'm thinking about now is, if the general wakes up, how much will he remember, will he be able to recognize me, what kind of expression will I have when I meet him, what will be the first sentence I should say... I've even thought about the future, can we continue fighting and conquering the battlefields like before... There are too many things, I, I'm obviously so old, but I'm still like a child. I can't help but excitedly imagine things that are still uncertain." Jie Lian sighed slowly.

Unconsciously, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks. When they dripped onto his hands and were discovered, Jie Lian couldn't help but hum a laugh.

——This is probably not the mentality of a child. It sounds more like a father-to-be waiting for the safety of mother and child in the delivery room.

I couldn't help but pat Jie Lian's back, which looked a little exhausted, and said with a smile, "There will be a chance to realize it. After all, haven't we already changed the future once?"

So wait and hope!

He raised his head and looked at the scarlet night sky. It seemed that the starlight that followed from Rhea Lukalia was also shining at this moment.
