Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Ho! Roar——"

There were roaring beasts overhead, making a huge noise.

I sat in the basement of the Fog Forest Ruins, helplessly waiting for the Bear Fire Kings to finish arguing so that I could take the opportunity to escape.

Gradually, gradually, their roaring seemed to stop.

I have finally gotten rid of the hatred and should be ready to leave.

I breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

If I'm only dealing with one Rune Bear, I just need to run away with all my might...ah, what?

I just popped my head out of the basement, and there was indeed only one bear left outside.

Moreover, it was already drowsy and lay down again facing the underground exit.

But the moment our eyes met, this guy immediately started roaring and stretched out a claw directly into me, scaring me so much that I rolled and crawled back into the depths of the basement.

"Roar--"

The roar that came straight at him was deafening, and even formed multiple echoes in the basement, so loud that even the dust on the wall was shaken off.

If I had known, I should have waited a little longer and waited until that guy fell asleep before going out. I was so impatient that I ended up burning my mouth!

What's even more terrible is that the bear's roar called back the two guys who had originally left. The three Rune bears frantically used their claws to dig into the corridor, causing the inside to shake!

Are we really going to tear this place down?

Moreover, this time, they seemed to have reached a consensus and would not leave for a while, vowing to eat me alive.

How to do?

I racked my brains to think of a good plan, but I couldn't even find a way to die gracefully!

"Roar--"

The roar of the Rune Bear continued, making my head swell.

······Hmm? Wait, something seems wrong!

I suddenly realized that there was one less bear roar, and the other two sounds were much softer, no longer roaring directly at the entrance to the basement like before.

What happened?

I plucked up my courage and carefully leaned out of the basement.

The cold wind blew towards me, and a few flakes of scarlet frost fell down, making me sneeze violently.

A huge bear was lying at the entrance of the cave, but it didn't move at all, and looked stunned.

——It was killed? Was it Brother Wolf?

I walked out and saw a huge bloody hole on the giant bear's back, where its heart had been taken. A thin layer of frost condensed around the wound, confirming my guess.

Combat Skills - Wolf Attack!

Suddenly, a scene appeared in his mind: the half-werewolf Blaze, holding a huge frosty sword, descending from the sky like a meteor and going straight for the Rune Bear's vital point. Then, frost magic exploded, shaking the other two guys away.

So respectful!

boom--

Just as I was sighing, a black shadow suddenly flew in from outside and directly smashed a dilapidated low wall.

I turned around and saw it was Brother Wolf?!

He propped himself up with his giant sword, and after catching sight of me, he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Get going!"

"But······"

Before I could utter a word, the wall of ruins beside Blaze was suddenly knocked open, and the Rune Bear opened its arms and pounced on me.

Blaze lowered his body and quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, white frost began to drift off the royal sword in his hand.

"Ouch——"

Accompanied by a wolf howl, Blaze seemed to soar into the air and swung the giant sword in his hand down like thunder.

Suddenly, blood splattered.

However, the Rune Bear had thick skin and strong flesh, and was so strong that it was able to withstand Blaze's fighting skills with just its shoulders.

At the same time, another slap sent Blaze flying out of the ruins.

Without even giving him a chance to catch his breath, the other giant bear on the outside immediately launched an attack.

I was so scared from the beginning that I shrank to one side, but fortunately I was not noticed by Rune Bear.

It seems that even for Wolf Brother Blaze, it is quite difficult to deal with two Rune Bears at the same time. He is worthy of being the Bear Censor King!

——No, now is not the time to be sentimental, I have to go help Brother Wolf!

But with just a straight sword and a shield, I'm afraid I can't even intervene. After all, whether it's the giant sword or the bear's arm span, the attack range completely crushes me.

So what else can we do?

I glanced around and suddenly noticed the swaying white flowers in the ruins - the Tolina water lilies.

This is the main material for making a sleeping pot, and it is also the main means to restrain the Rune Bear.

It’s a pity that I don’t know how to make a sleeping pot yet, so I don’t know if flowers alone can be of any use.

I picked a Tolina water lily and sniffed it. The flower exuded a light and elegant fragrance that really made me feel a little dazed. The stamens also contained a lot of pollen.

"I hope my idea will work." I quickly gathered all the nearby Tolina water lilies and rushed out.

Outside the ruins, facing the double-team of two giant Rune bears, "Half-Wolf" Blaze was obviously unable to hold on alone. He only relied on his superb abilities to barely withstand the opponent's fierce and overwhelming offensive.

He was forced into the corner of the ruins and had no way to retreat.

"Roar!"

Perhaps because they had never encountered such a tough opponent, the two Rune Bears also showed signs of fatigue.

I seized the opportunity and rushed forward, shouting, "Brother Wolf! Cover your nose!"

Blaze was slightly stunned: "You, what are you going to do?"

"Roar--"

The giant bear attacked again.

"Come on! It's time for an experiment!" I sprinkled all the Tolina water lilies in my hand on the Rune Bear, and at the same time gathered magical power on my feet, "Storm Foot!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up and blew the flowers into pieces.

The entire air is filled with a calming, elegant fragrance and sleep-inducing pollen.

The two giant Rune bears couldn't help but slow down their pace, their minds slightly dazed.

"Come here quickly." Seeing this, Blaze quickly grabbed me by the back of the collar, easily climbed over the low wall behind him, and then ran for his life.

Cough cough cough, Wolf, Brother Wolf, please be gentle. It must be uncomfortable to have your throat strangled by clothes.

I struggled and said, "Wolf, Brother Wolf, just let me run by myself!"

"Oh, sorry! I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention." Brother Wolf let go of his hand.

I immediately summoned Torret and followed Brother Wolf to escape until we found a short stone fort that looked like a yurt in the misty forest, and then we stopped.

This is the underground world of the Elden Ring, the entrance to the Shifra River, and there is an elevator inside the stone castle.

"We should be safe now." Brother Wolf breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the entrance of the stone fort to rest and said casually, "I didn't expect that the Tolina water lily could be used in that way. I really escaped a disaster."

"This is also my first time trying this, luckily I'm lucky." I also smiled relaxedly, "Ah, thank you for rescuing me, Brother Wolf."

When you get closer, take a closer look.

Wow! Brother Wolf is so handsome!

Let’s not talk about the werewolf, which is an enduring image in monster stories.

He was tall and mighty, wearing a set of black Kalia Knight armor and a gray-black wolf-hair cloak. He could easily wield the royal greatsword with one hand. In addition, he was agile and swift in battle, and had a thunderous and brute force.

As a comrade-in-arms, he is simply a macho man with an overflowing sense of security!

Moreover, this big macho man has a deep and magnetic voice, and while he has a domineering vibe, he also reveals his cute side.

Just like now, he seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his face with his claws: "Brother Wolf, that's too much flattery."

After a pause, he asked again: "But what are you doing here, Faded One? It's not peaceful around here, you'd better leave as soon as possible... Or, are you going to deal with the matter in that castle?"

Only then did I come to my senses, and quickly stretched out my hand and started snapping my fingers.

"Ah~" Blaze sighed, "Alright, alright, once is enough... Kale is still the same, always worrying about this."

"Huh? Kale, isn't it Galie?" I was a little confused.

Blaze looked at me with wide eyes: "Ah woo?"

"Are we talking about the one at Airey Church?" Well, although I already had a guess, I still didn't want to admit it.

"So, he went there?" Blazer suddenly realized, but he continued to follow me to confirm, "Faded, you should also be talking about a wandering merchant wearing red clothes, right?"

It’s over, it’s that old crooked businessman.

I swallowed my saliva and could only nod silently out of shame.

It's over, the illiterate husband is gone.

Was the old businessman's name actually Kale?

Why did I always think it was Jiale? I guess I didn't pay attention when I first played it, and after I recognized the wrong word, a stereotype formed, and it was quite smooth to call him that... What's worse is that I seem to have been calling him Jiale Jiale all the time, and he didn't get angry or remind me... He shouldn't be angry, right?

While I was frantically trying to find a hole to drill into because of my stupidity, Blaze had already started introducing himself: "Since you have been through Kale and you also own that spirit horse, I don't think you are a suspicious person... My name is Blaze, and I'm looking for a man named Darriwell..."

"Brother Wolf, are you sure your name is Blaze? ... Not the Ultraman one." I asked cautiously to avoid making any mistakes and making a fool of myself.

"Autman?" Blaze was slightly stunned, and seemed to be infected by my silliness, and then confirmed himself, "My name is Blaze."

"That's great." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, ah?" Blaze was obviously no longer able to communicate with me.

I quickly got back to the point: "Brother Wolf, if you're looking for 'Hound Knight' Darriwell, I know his approximate location, please follow me."
