Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

(The following is all from Roger's perspective)

In the dark basement, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the mud.

"Carrion crabs? It seems that we have stayed here for too long and woke up all the dormant monsters here." I speculated.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." D raised the twin swords indifferently and chopped them directly towards the crab.

But the opponent raised his crab claws and easily blocked D's attack. With a little effort, he even sent D flying.

"The shells of these crabs are too hard. Chopping them won't work. We have to stab them!" I immediately drew out my rapier and gently rubbed the pyroxene staff against the blade.

Magic - magical weapons.

It is not easy to chase the enemy head-on because of the crab. As long as I dodge its pincers and smash down, it is my chance to attack!

"Ha!" I raised my sword, thrust it forward, and pierced directly through the opponent's eyes.

The next second, the crab's mouthparts suddenly opened, squeezing out a stream of water, forcing me back.

Da da da!

I had just jumped away when another giant crab suddenly rushed towards me from the side like a wild horse. Fortunately, the underground was not very spacious, so the opponent did not reach his fastest speed, which gave me enough time to react. I continued to dodge to the side and avoided the collision.

The other party also crashed into the wall at the end with a loud bang.

Turning back, I swung my rapier.

Magic——Radiant Sword Circle!

Unfortunately, all of them were blocked by the crabs' claws. If they didn't hit the vital points, it would be harmless to them... As I remember, the crab's vital point is in the center of the body, right?

But the crab will not easily reveal its vulnerable back, and my rapier alone may not be able to penetrate its solid back.

"Hah! Ahhhh!" But a man's roar was heard in the basement, and it even shook the entire space.

D was seen standing on the back of a crab and piercing its shell with his twin swords, hitting the vital point and causing the entire crab to surrender under his feet.

It is said that this man first chopped off several of the crab's legs, making it unable to move.

——It’s really violent enough.

I can't hold back either. Since the rapier can't pierce the crab's back, then...

Once again, I dodged the crab's charge and got in front of it before it turned the corner.

If Cancer wants to deal with the person in front of it, it has only two options: if the person is too far away, it will use its mouthparts to spray water; if the person is too close, it will just use its huge claws to push its body down.

And the other party and I are only one step away, so its choice must be to press down!

boom--

I had anticipated this and stepped back, dodging the attack at the maximum distance. Then I thrust my sword with magical glow straight into the opponent's eyes.

Gah!

I pierced the shell easily and then rushed forward with unstoppable force.

The crab suddenly raised its body, and the powerful force made me drop the rapier in my hand.

But everything was over. The huge monster only struggled for a moment, then fell to the ground and did not move anymore.

——After all, in order to ensure that I could pierce the center of the crab's body, I added the combat skill "pyroxene magic gravel" into it at the end.

The power of magic exploded inside the opponent's body. Although it looked normal on the outside, the inside of Cancer should have turned into a pool of mud.

"Easy, easy~" I couldn't help but whistle.

But he got a cold look from D. He walked back to the fence in the underground area and looked at the mechanism inside. He looked helpless and said, "If the entrance is not here, how can we get in?"

"Also, there is no one here who can control those dead borns... Perhaps we have missed something." I changed to a torch and shone it into the mechanism room. "Well, what is that?"

“······It looks like some kind of hole?” D obviously also noticed the place where my eyes were looking.

There seems to be a hole on the ceiling right in the middle of the mechanism room?!

It is very similar to the wellhead we jumped down here!

"Did we miss a branch?" D and I fell into deep thought, recalling all the passages in the entire tomb.

The only possibility seemed to be the end of the straight road coming down the stairs. The left turn was covered with a pile of rocks. At that time, D and I were being chased by the undefeatable Dead Borns and couldn't pay much attention, so we ran directly to the unobstructed right side.

······But when you think about it carefully, something is not right.

This place is what we found after jumping down to the rightmost room of the tomb. If we really want to turn around from there, we have to go around a long way. Isn't this design unreasonable?

"It's no use just thinking about it, let's go back and look for it." D interrupted my thoughts and said his idea calmly, "As usual, I will lead the way, and you should pay more attention to the suspicious locations in the tomb."

"it is good."

We carefully climbed up the stairs at the wellhead.

Fortunately, there were not many Undead Borns guarding this place. While they were not paying attention, D and I rushed out suddenly, kicked and stomped these skeletons to the ground, and then threw parts of their bodies into the well.

In order to reassemble and revive, the other bones also tumbled and fell into the well.

While the other deadborns' pursuers were not here, I quickly explored the current tomb: "Except for this well, there doesn't seem to be anything special here."

"That means it's most likely in the guillotine room ahead?" D had already recited the Holy Law Prayer for his twin swords and strode outside.

As soon as they saw us, the dozen or so dead borns rushed over to us again with great excitement.

D spread his arms and quickly chanted his prayer: "Eternal Queen, Holy Law, grant these monsters lost in the world eternal rest!"

Prayer - Correct the Holy Law!

Under the golden light, those undead creatures seemed to have hit an elastic wall, and their skulls flew out.

But this is only temporary, and the dead here are not affected by the holy law.

...However, this is not what I should consider. My current job is to find the suspicious location in this tomb!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three guillotines that divided the entire tomb were constantly raised, lowered, raised, lowered, and raised... Oh, found it!

"D, look there, there seems to be a gap on the right wall!" A flash of inspiration came to me, and I found the suspicious location!

D just glanced at it and returned to his work of clearing out the deadborn. He casually asked, "That position is quite high. How do I get up there?"

"These guillotines are quite thick. We can try to step on them and rise together!"

D nodded, agreeing with my idea, and then, he once again used the Holy Law of Death to clear the enemies in front of him: "Let's go!"

After the middle guillotine fell, we quickly stepped on it.

Sure enough, with the help of the mechanism, after we reached almost the same position, D and I quickly jumped towards the hole in the wall!

There really is a new space inside!

"Gah!" It was another Deathbringer, rushing forward with a machete in hand.

However, I noticed at a glance that there seemed to be a few thin people behind them, holding long-handled torches with black and white flames burning on them, exactly the same as the fireworks that resurrected the dead after they fell down!

"Chase!" D had obviously discovered his real opponent. He swung his sword to clear the skeletons that were blocking his way and ran directly towards those people.

"what!"

Accompanied by a few screams, those people fell in a pool of blood.

Almost at the same time, I could hear the sound of skeletons falling apart one after another.

——It turns out that these people are controlling the Dead Born!

Now that all the threats have been eliminated, all that remains is to find the wellhead leading to the mechanical tomb.

But soon, D found it in the room at the end. Looking down, he confirmed the stone statue that was faintly shining with golden light.

D is about to jump down.

"Wait a minute!" I stopped him. "There are some suspicious things in this room."

"Ok?"

"I've heard a lot about a kind of hidden magic in the Lienia magic school." I slowly walked towards the wall at the end of the tomb. "Here, I feel a faint flow of magic."

——If it is really that kind of concealment magic, it can be cleared and cracked with just a touch.

I couldn't help but reach forward.

But suddenly, a cold black light came out from the wall and pierced straight into my palm!
