Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

blah-

blah-

The sound of sharpening a saw urged me to open my eyes.

The world went from dark to hazy, with dense forests and mist lingering, making it difficult to tell where one is.

Then I vaguely saw a huge creature not far in front of me, scratching a tree trunk with its claws like a cat.

······Oh my god, it’s King Xiong Xin!

I was so scared that I quickly shrank my body, carefully touched a nearby tree and hid behind it.

This is the monster that A-Ti least wants to see, no matter in the early, middle, or late stages - the Rune Bear!

It has high attack, thick blood, strong toughness, and a desire to attack like a mad dog.

Once you are discovered, they will chase you for eight hundred miles even if you are riding a Torret.

The key point is that even if you defeat the bear, the benefits will be very small, which is completely not worth it!

I rubbed my swollen temples and recalled the cause of the incident.

Did I fall into Patch's trap again? I was teleported to the depths of the foggy forest... My mind was also fuzzy, and because I failed to explore the map, I had no idea where I was.

Oh, right, the map!

I came to my senses and quickly searched for my target in the fog.

If I remember correctly, in the game, the map of the foggy forest area is near the teleportation location... Found it, the map stele!

I hurried over excitedly and reached out to touch the golden words on the stone tablet.

All of a sudden, the map information of the foggy forest area glowed with golden light and poured into my mind, allowing me to wake up a little.

My current location is in the central part of the fog forest. A long road runs through the entire forest, leading to Lake Yakir at one end and a castle at the other.

Now that we are in the misty forest, we might as well go to the nearby ruins and look for Wolf Brother Blaze.

After all, I had somehow triggered the plot dialogue with Galie before. And this was also in my plan, to take a shortcut through Patch's teleportation trap.

Yeah, yes, this is all just my plan.

"Roar?"

huh?

Just as I was proudly immersed in my own thoughts, I heard a low growl in my ears.

Looking closely, I saw that in the woods behind the stone tablet, there was also a sturdy Rune bear that seemed to be staring at me.

"Good morning, or good afternoon." I raised my hand stiffly to greet him.

"Roar--"

"Waaaaah!" The Firewood Bear King is chasing us, and he's not that friendly!

I quickly blew the spiritual whistle, and Torrett took shape beside me. The moment I grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse, he increased his speed.

However, Rune Bear is the salary king, and another point is that this guy's running speed is not even inferior to Torret!

"Torret, turn quickly!" The roar behind me made me break out in a cold sweat. I subconsciously pulled Torret to turn sharply to the right, and then I caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow flying towards my original position.

The move failed, and Rune Bear grabbed the ground and made a sharp turn, chasing again.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Rune Bear’s weakness is... the sleeping pot!

But I only have a flame pot, and I have never collected Tolina water lilies, so I can't make it!

"Eh-"

The neighing of Torret's horse brought me back to reality, and I saw another giant Rune bear turning out of the woods in front of us.

This foggy forest is simply their hometown!

"Roar!" The giant bear in front heard the noise from this side and rushed towards us without hesitation.

It’s over, I’m attacked from both sides!

How to do?How to do?

······Let’s give it our all, speed up, Torret!

I gritted my teeth and focused all my attention on the Rune Bear in front of me, organizing every detail in my mind: the distance, the size and arm span of the bear, and even the tiny differences in every movement of this guy.

Closer! Closer! Closer! ······The Rune Bear raised its forearm half an inch higher than before, and it showed a tendency to stretch.

It’s the prelude to an attack!

"Torret!" I lowered my body and turned Torret into a blue shadow and returned to the spirit whistle.

Using inertia, I slid and watched the giant bear fly over my head, and then collided with the guy chasing me.

Nice!

This is exactly the effect we want!

Taking advantage of the chaos, I rolled and rolled, and finally rolled into a nearby bush and hid my body.

At the same time, monitor the next movements of the two Rune Bears through the tiny gaps.

Unfortunately, the two Rune Bears that had tangled with each other did not fight. Instead, they separated peacefully and growled at each other.

Is it a complaint? Or an exchange of information?

I didn't understand, and I didn't know, but what I did know was that the two guys began to bend down, their noses twitching slightly, searching for my scent in the air.

This, this is unscientific!

In the game, as long as you lose sight and hide in the bushes, you should remain indifferent even if someone walks in front of you!

Do these two stinky bears know how to find their enemies by smell?

If I had known this earlier, I would have retreated quickly!

I quickly moved stealthily in the bushes, but in order not to be discovered, I kept my speed very slow, and the low growl behind me was getting closer and closer.

There is no other way, just keep trying!

I blew the whistle again, summoned Torret, and ran away with all my might.

The two Rune Bears naturally discovered me and started chasing me again.

——Damn you, damn Pachi! When I return to the Mengliu Cave, I will teach you a lesson!

There was no point in complaining now. I quickly searched for an escape route in my mind:

...Under the cliff on the west side of the forest, there is a rising soul cyclone. Torrett can leap into the air along the airflow and will definitely be able to get rid of the Rune Bear.

Ok?

Before my eyes, a ruin suddenly appeared.

I have been wandering around and happened to find the Misty Forest Ruins?

Among them, on the top of the tall building that looked like a chimney, I also vaguely saw a black figure.

That's Blaze!

Ah—there’s a Rune Bear in the ruins!

Although it was sleeping, the noisy roars of the two guys behind me had obviously startled it, and its entire body began to slowly rise up.

If three Rune Bears chase together, the scene will be too brutal!

It’s better to be a coward!

I took advantage of the fact that the Rune Bear in the ruins had not yet fully woken up, jumped off my horse, and ran over quickly.

Remember, there is at least one treasure chest hidden in every ruin, and it's always in the basement.

And the basement of the Mist Forest Ruins is right in front of the guy lying there!

hey!

I quickly jumped into the basement of the ruins. The entrance here was extremely small, and there was absolutely no way that the Rune Bears could get in, unless they could trample the basement.

Soon, the other two Rune Bears chased me into the ruins, and I even heard the sound of smashing the walls.

"Roar-roar-"

The Rune Bear who was woken up was not in such a good mood and started roaring at the other two bears.

Well, now that we are here, we should make the best of it.

Regardless of them for now, I calmed my rapid breathing, lifted the door of the ruins basement, and pried open the treasure chest inside - the Axe Amulet, which can strengthen charged attacks, usually heavy blows.

better than nothing.

However, the next question is, how can I get out?
