Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Ow!"

The dragon's angry roar echoed throughout the empty valley, lingering in the dark abyss for a long time.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to continue to express my purpose to the ancestral people beside me, but I found that these two guys were still staring in the direction of the single-tree cliff road.

——Is the cow's reaction arc so long? I haven't recovered from the bizarre scene of seeing the dragon soldiers and then watching them fall into the valley.

However, I couldn’t help but follow the gaze of my ancestors.

"Ow—"

The dragon's roar hasn't stopped yet!

And I suddenly noticed that the claws wrapped with earth-gold cloth strips were actually firmly grasping the edge of the cliff on this side!

In the next second, the huge figure suddenly rushed out from below, and then with a loud bang, it fell in front of us, even scaring the giant rats that were originally eyeing me covetously, so that they all crawled and rolled back to the nearby forest.

——This thing actually opened its broken wings? ! Unbelievable!

After all, according to the information in the game, there are a total of three dragon soldiers in the entire border area, and the one in front of me should be the weakest guy. He can't fly, can't use spells, and doesn't have the home advantage like the Corruption Lake. He can only use his claws to slap and tear.

But just as a drowning person has a high probability of learning to swim while struggling, at the critical moment of life and death, did this dragon soldier also spread its tattered huge wings and soar into the sky?

——What a confusing monster!

——With such a strong desire to survive, why don’t you just go back and sleep peacefully?

"Moo! Moo! Moo!" The ancestral spirits beside me came back to their senses. One of them yelled at his companion, as if asking him to go back and find some help. At the same time, he took out a horn hammer.

All I could do was hold on to the Night Star and fight.

"Ow!"

Like a giant excavator, the dragon soldiers slapped the ground, and every step they took made people worry that it would cause the land to collapse.

I took the initiative to rush forward. As I said just now, the best way to deal with this guy is to hide under its body and attack the dragon soldier's hind legs!

But, obviously, the opponent would not give me such an opportunity easily. He stretched out his forearm, leaned down, and swept towards us suddenly, forcing us to stop and step back.

Then, the dragon soldier grabbed the ground and pulled hard, pulling up large chunks of dirt and swung them at me and the Ancestral Hunter.

Sand, stones and dust flew towards me, blurring my vision and making me cough a few times.

And the next second, a huge black shadow overwhelmed Mi Chen and slapped him hard on the head.

——This guy actually has such a combo? !

I quickly used the combat skill "Hound Step" to dodge the attack to the side, and then, like lightning, rushed towards the huge black shadow of the dragon soldier.

In the blink of an eye, it had already gotten under this guy's body. The Night Starfire brought up a raging molten flame and slashed with all its strength at the kneeling thigh of the dragon soldier!

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

The fire dragon roared out and instantly tore open wounds on the dragon soldiers.

But to my surprise, what was rolled up in the hurricane was not golden rune fragments, but a silver-gray liquid.

It splashed onto my face and I felt an immediate burning pain, like corrosive water.

——Blood of the Platinum Son? !

I suddenly remembered the origin of the dragon soldiers. This monster was born in the Eternal City and was originally born as a dragon, but things went against their wishes and it became what it is now.

But since they are the products of the Eternal City, they are closely related to the Son of Platinum and the Robo-Teardrops. Therefore, their blood may be a poison to people like Atai who were born in the Golden Age!

I had to quickly distance myself.

As for the dragon soldier, because it was difficult to attack me underneath him, he flapped his broken wings, leaped suddenly, and fell directly into the forest of the ancestral spirits, roaring angrily again.

——However, since you are a product of the Eternal City, use the Eternal City to fight against the Eternal City!

The decision is yours, Brother Teardrop!

I rang the summoning bell, calling upon the replica teardrop ashes that I had just obtained not long ago.

——Well, even though it’s only level one, if it can perfectly copy my abilities like the replicant teardrop I encountered in the previous battle, big bro is still the strongest!

"Cough cough——" It was as if an invisible big hand grabbed my soul and peeled it directly from my body.

My whole body ached so much that my bones were wailing, and my consciousness was also blacked out. When I came to my senses, all I could see in my hazy and shaking vision was the honest earth.

——Did I actually fall to my knees?

By the way, summoning the teardrops does not consume mana, but about half of the total HP of the A-tai. Moreover, the location in the game originally cannot summon ashes, so if I forcefully summon them, it will also consume my concentration.

——This is a very dangerous move. You need to be more careful when summoning the Simulated Tears next time.

——But it’s already succeeded, so go for it, brother!

······

The teardrop had clearly transformed into my appearance, but it didn't listen to my commands at all. It even stood beside me stupidly and yawned.

——Brother!

——You are not the mentally retarded version!

"Ow!"

With a roar from the giant dragon, the ancestral spirit who was fighting with us was slapped by it and thrown out, then flattened to the ground.

...That guy, will he be resurrected through blessing?

——No, now is not the time to care about others!

——Brother, fight, brother!

I frowned and looked at the teardrop of my replica, but the other party responded with a lifeless expression, as if it had just woken up. Then, its gaze fell on the Night Starfire in my hand... Don't even think about it. This is my exclusive weapon. I can't copy it myself!

boom--

"Ouch!" The dragon soldier slapped me between the bionic teardrop. Although I dodged quickly enough, I was still thrown out by the impact.

——There’s no other way. My eldest brother is unreliable. I’d better do it myself!

Fortunately, the dragon soldiers' attacks were not too fierce. I dodged and looked for opportunities, quickly drinking two holy grail bottles.

Combat skill - hound step!

He quickly passed through the dragon soldier's armpit and got under his body.

Although attacking this guy would result in counterattack from his blood, how could one become a dragon slayer without bathing in dragon blood? !

Combat skills——Wolf Attack Blood Dance!

I quickly rushed to the dragon soldier's hind legs, and the bloody sword blade instantly cut a huge wound, causing the opponent's silver dragon blood to splash out like a fountain.

——Not enough, not enough!

Combat skill——Blood Slash·Double Slash!

Before the dragon soldier became agitated, I swung the blade quickly again and attacked his thigh continuously, attack, and attack again!

"Ah!" Not sure whether it was because of pain or anger, the dragon soldier roared again.

It spread its broken wings once again and tried to create distance by leaping.

But then I suddenly had an idea: in the game, because the monsters have fixed models, they will not change no matter what kind of damage they take, and players cannot use the protective gear and clothing on their opponents, but in reality, it's different!

Combat skill - Storm Feet!

I summoned a hurricane to make myself fly high up, grabbed the earth-golden bandage hanging from the dragon soldier, and flew up with this guy.

Just like the mountain giant, the dragon soldiers' chests and abdomens were also hollowed out.

——If we could break its spine, would it cause fatal damage?

I was thinking about my next move after the other party landed, when suddenly, streaks of fluorescent green fire shot out from the ground and from all corners of the forest.

——Those are the ancestral spirits’ arrows!

Countless arrows were like a rainstorm. Moreover, each of the ancestral hunters was an expert at shooting accurately from a hundred paces away.

Almost in an instant, the dragon soldier was pierced like a hedgehog and fell from mid-air.

【Great Enemy Felled】

...Wait, I'm still in this guy's stomach!

With a loud bang, the dragon soldiers fell into the ancestral forest, causing smoke and dust to rise, and all kinds of small animals fled away noisily.

Fortunately, I hid between the ribs of the dragon soldier. Although the injury from landing was still very painful, I was fortunately not crushed to death.

Rubbing my butt, I brushed off the choking smoke and walked out.

But I saw fluorescent blue lights like the eyes of wolves lit up in various places in the forest. The arrows of the ancestral spirits were like the red dots of sniper rifles, aiming at me. Once again, I was surrounded by the ancestral spirits: "That, that... Moo, moo."
