Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Looking at the Night Star in my hand, Blaze slowly asked: "...Is that the new sword that Master Iggy forged for you?"

"Well, I used the Earth Dragon Scale Sword and the Ice Needle to forge it, and was able to use the dual combat skills of fire and ice blade, although I haven't mastered it well yet." I was telling the truth.

Blaze hummed and stretched out his arm. The golden rune light condensed into his exclusive weapon, the royal greatsword, in his hand. "The war that Lani has been looking forward to, the war that challenges fate, has just begun. I must not stop here and let her encounter the slightest danger... This is my duty as a knight of Kalia, Zero."

"I know. But if I win, then please stay here, 'Half-Wolf Knight' Blaze."

We looked at each other warily and moved slowly.

"Ah!" With a roar from Blaze, he and I rushed towards each other almost at the same time.

The royal sword in his hand was covered with frost. He held it with one hand and swung it at me with all his strength.

I was also unwilling to be outdone. I held the big black knife in both hands, gathered the runes towards the sword, and then chopped along the direction of the opponent's sword.

Night Spark·Heavy Combat Skill——Molten Flame Entanglement!

The red fireworks and the blue frost set off a strong impact.

In the burst of light, Blaze's ferocious face roared again, and an overwhelming force rushed towards him irresistibly.

I quickly released my strength and took advantage of Blaze's swing to leap back and pull away.

But Blaze obviously wouldn't give me a chance to breathe. He leaped over like a wolf and took a big step forward, rushing in front of me who had just landed.

He raised the great royal sword above his head and it came straight down at me with the force of splitting mountains and cutting seas.

——Next, I’m afraid the frost will explode and launch another pursuit.

Combat skill - hound step!

I am already quite proficient in this move, and I can perform it easily even if I change weapons.

I quickly distanced myself from him, but even though my body merged into the gust of wind, Blaze's wolf eyes were still fixed on me.

——It seems that my speed is still not fast enough.

No matter what, the first thing to do is to regain the initiative!

I gathered the power of the gale directly under my feet, then leaped up. At the same time, I cut my left hand with a sharp blade, guiding the blood and runes to gather on it.

Combat skill——Scarlet Blood Moon Slash!

"Ah!" Blaze was also a man of iron. He actually countered the slash with a slash. He gripped the sword tightly and slashed directly at the falling blood moon in the sky.

I have to admit that his strength is indeed superior to mine. Even though this move is derived from the Lion Slash, Blaze still managed to forcibly block my attack.

However, the Scarlet Moon Slash has two stages of damage!

Even if you defend against the Lion Slash, the subsequent Blood Slash will still fall towards the opponent like a waterfall.

This was the first time that Blaze experienced the power of my move, and he was knocked out by the impact of blood.

I must keep up the good work, and after my feet landed on the ground, I continued to use the hound steps to catch up.

Fighting Skills——Wolf Attack Blood Dance·Second Phase!

The bloody slash once again headed straight for Blaze's face.

This time, he obviously did not dare to be negligent again. He did several backflips and avoided the attack.

"Huh——" We both took a breath and looked at each other again.

——This man, when he is a teammate, can be said to be very safe, but as an opponent, he is indeed quite difficult to deal with.

——His strength is naturally superior to mine now, and my advantage is probably the speed after using the hound's pace. However, the wolf's keen senses allow Blaze to easily capture my movements, making it difficult to widen the gap.

——The killer fighting skills have basically been used, and I believe Blaze will be more cautious next time.

Ok?

After I stopped, I was startled by the sudden white air coming out of my mouth.

I don't know if there are seasons or climate changes at the border, but it's freezing cold right now, which is obviously not the temperature near Lake Yakir...

Looking at the royal giant sword in Blaze's hand with frost crystals constantly floating around, I remembered!

Once, in this sealed prison, when Blaze was fighting against the "ownerless hound" Darriwell, whose movements were so fast that even he could not catch up, he created an icy field to restrict the opponent's movements!

Now, he has used the same old tricks again!

As if he guessed that I had seen through this move, Blaze took the initiative to attack almost at the same time.

"Awwww——"

The half-wolf was like a shadow, coming towards me at a high speed, accompanied by wind and snow.

——Winter is coming, so we must fight it with fire!

I was about to use the lava form of Night Starfire to dispel the cold brought by Blaze, but the flame had just started to rise when Blaze swung his sword and chopped it down.

His attack was so fierce that my flames could not even condense into shape and were extinguished.

I wanted to pull back and regroup, but the coldness made it increasingly difficult to move my hands and feet.

In the blink of an eye, he was forced into the corner of the sealed prison.

"Give up, Zero!" Blaze roared, raised his sword with both hands to gather strength, and then stabbed straight forward.

Combat skill - hound step!

I was about to step aside, but I didn't expect that the next second, the explosion of frost would explode next to me, catching me off guard and blowing me away.

At the same time, the coldness seemed to have turned into countless sharp spikes, piercing through my flesh and piercing my internal organs and heart. It was also like countless thorns that tightly wrapped around me.

"Cough, cough, cough!" A disgusting feeling that tasted bitter and sweet surged into my throat. It hurt so much that it felt like my throat was being torn apart. Even the blood that came out of my throat was frosty.

My hands and feet were numb from the cold, and my joints felt like they were rusted and I couldn't move them at all.

——Is this the reaction to frostbite in real life?

——If you were to be beaten like this in a real battle, I would probably be like a fish at the mercy of others for the rest of the time.

I couldn't help but gasp, and used the black knife to support myself on the ground, and forced myself to stand up.

"Do you want to continue, Zero?" Blaze looked at me indifferently, as if he was sure of victory.

"Of course... I told you I would stop you, Blaze," I responded firmly.

At the same time, while Blaze did not pursue immediately, Rune's magic reflected the fine red lines on the back of the Night Starfire Blade. The scorching flame ignited, wrapping the entire big black knife and slightly dispelling the frostbite effect on my body.

With a gentle wave of the fire blade, the ice and snow in front of him were cut apart and blown back.

"Since it's a battle, the winner can't be decided until the last moment." I got into position again.

And Blaze also stood in the snow, holding the royal sword tightly: "Yes."

“Hahhaaah—” I roared, accelerating at the pace of a hound and actively charging towards the opponent.

Blaze, of course, was not willing to be outdone, and he also roared loudly, leaping over like a wolf, and approached like a shadow.

The lava and ice collided again, and the impact reflected each other's faces as they clenched their teeth and fought with all their might.

There is no need to say anything more, it all depends on who has the power to completely engulf the opponent!
