Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Huh..." I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at my opponent in front of me again, "Pure Purple Blood Finger" Eleonora.

After she was forced back by my unique double-sword technique, she couldn't help but gasp for breath. Her whole body was covered with wounds, especially her right shoulder which was cut by me just now, forcing her to use both hands to hold her weapon.

Of course, my condition has almost reached its limit. I don't have much magic power left, and the blood on my hands makes me feel unpleasant and sticky. There is only one bottle of red medicine left for my supply, but I can't spare the hands to feed myself now.

"Haha, hahaha~" Although the crazy woman still couldn't stop smiling, her scarlet eyes had calmed and dimmed, just like a cheetah that had found its prey, hiding its body in the grassland, waiting for the moment when its prey revealed a flaw.

After all, we all know that no matter what, what follows will be the final battle to determine the winner!

The breeze blows gently across the hills.

Under the night sky, the brilliant light of the golden tree shone upon us, as if resonating the hearts of glory among the warriors.

"Huh!" After taking another deep breath, I rushed towards Eleonora with two swords.

And like the two poles of a magnet, Eleonora took two steps almost at the same time, attracting me.

When she started, she turned the double-headed sword and then gathered the strength in the left side of her abdomen - this was the starting move of Eleonora's exclusive fighting skill "Blood Blade Dance"!

Once it is performed, a dazzling array of sword shadows will rush towards you.

But I have experienced this move many times in the battle just now. Since it ends on the left side, the attack at the beginning, which is similar to the Reverse Robe Slash, is actually quite fixed and unchanging, Eleonora.

Combat skill - hound step!

I gritted my teeth, and the moment the opponent leaped towards me with the scarlet blood blade, I accelerated my body, went from the side where Eleonora's blade was dancing, quickly went behind the opponent, then turned around, raised both blades, and swung them at the opponent.

Only two loud bangs were heard.

Eleonora's reaction was equally quick, and the dancing blood blades chased after me.

But my power was stronger, so the opponent took advantage of the force and quickly pulled away.

"Roar——" Long Xiao let out a soft roar.

Eleonora then quickly performed the Dragon Feast Prayer. As the prayer runes appeared, the huge dragon's head roared as Eleonora shook its head.

——Is it Guior’s roar, or...

Sparks flashed at the corners of the dragon's mouth; it was the dragon's breath!

Moreover, Eleonora controlled the distance very well. If I rushed forward with the steps of a hound, she might change to a dragon bite and swallow me in one gulp. If I pulled back, the flames would naturally follow closely.

——In reality, this is also quite troublesome.

——Dragon Feast Prayer is not as rigid and slow to perform as in the game, because there is no need to stand still while chanting, so as long as you chant it a little bit in advance, it can be made to be like an instant cast.

- At the same time, since the dragon head has been summoned, there is no need to modify the prayer chant from the beginning even if you switch in the middle.

So, we can only try our best!

I drained all the rune magic in my body, allowing Night Starfire to release the power of molten flame to the maximum extent, and a hurricane rolled up from between the soles of my feet.

Just as Eleonora's Dragon Feast Prayer spewed out a breath of flames, her combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance also rolled up a storm of fire.

Moreover, what I summoned before was a straight sword that had been engraved with the combat skill "Storm Foot" long ago. The dance of the two swords made the power of the storm even greater!

The fire rose with the wind, raging across the plain.

Even the dragon's breath was drawn into my storm and involved in this even greater carnival of flames.

But the scorching heat also held me tightly inside, and the sweat was evaporated before it even emerged. It was so hot that it felt like thousands of needles were constantly piercing my body.

I gritted my teeth and stepped forward into the storm.

One step, two steps...

With every step forward, the flames became hotter and more intense. It seemed as if all the moisture in the eyes and mouth had been burned dry. It was so hot that it was impossible to breathe, and even consciousness was about to be annihilated in the raging fire.

However, Eleonora, who released a dragon flame breath-like prayer, was still just an immobile turret.

One more step, one more step, one more step forward...

This distance is enough!

I released all the power of the hurricane, and soared into the air with flames blended with the breath of the fire dragon.

Scarlet Blood Moon Slash·Modified.

The combination of molten flame, double swords and lion slash - Flame Domain Dragon Slash!

"Roar--"

Under the night sky, the blazing fireball that snatched the glory from the golden tree transformed into a giant dragon, opened its bloody mouth towards Eleonora, and bit her.

The flames were like a waterfall, and in an instant, most of the Thunder Hill was dyed with this turbid yellow and red color!

······

It's a pity that this move didn't seem to hit Eleonora. In my rather blurry eyes, I couldn't see the opponent's figure under the two swords.

——But, damn it, is the distance assessment still a little wrong?

Black smoke was coming out of my body, and I couldn't help but sway, and then I fell to the ground.

——This, this is over.

My one move to win the game failed. I'm like a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered... No, that's not right. I still have the last bottle of Red Dew Drop Holy Grail and the last means of recovery!

But my hands were completely numb. It would be more accurate to say that I had completely lost all strength and feeling in my entire body.

My brain was rapidly sending the command “move, move faster”, but I didn’t feel any organ responding!

"······Thank you for your hard work, Master Zero."

--Um?

A faint blue light passed by the corners of my eyes, and it felt like a hand was gently caressing my face.

When I came to my senses, I was already holding the last bottle of the Holy Grail in my hand and putting it to my mouth.

I didn't care what was going on. I quickly picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

The red dew drops from the sacred tree seemed to have turned into a clear spring, flowing through my brain, clearing up my chaotic mind and blurry vision. My hot and numb limbs regained consciousness, but the pain also surged up at the same time, making me gasp.

But no matter what, I recovered a lot of my strength and stood up with the help of Night Starfire.

Only then did they realize that the "Pure Purple Blood Finger" Eleonora was also lying straight on the ground, with black smoke coming out of her body.

——I was wondering, with such a big flaw, why didn’t she chase after him?

——It seems that although my last blow did not fall on Eleonora, the raging fire that fell like a waterfall still affected her to a great extent.

——Well, after all, a considerable portion of the flames brought about by the Flame Domain Falling Dragon Slash were drawn from Eleonora’s dragon breath, so, in the end, both sides suffered losses, right?

But I still had one last bottle of Holy Grail potion, so I managed to hold on.

And is she dead?

No, there were no runes flying out of Eleonora and converging on me.

I used the Night Star as a crutch and walked towards Eleonora step by step.

Sure enough, her chest was still moving up and down slightly, and she still had a breath.

······Bloodfingers are creatures that specialize in hunting down Faded Ones, and Eleonora is a Dragon Eater who longs to seize dragon power. She will definitely hinder my relationship with the ancient dragons led by Lance Shanks.

Besides, I must admit that Eleonora is a very strong warrior.

If I wasn't lucky, I wouldn't be sure I could defeat her again the next time we meet.

——It is better to have less trouble than more, so, farewell, powerful Dragon Feast warrior.

I raised the straight sword in my other hand and was about to chop it down at Eleonora.

But a silver light appeared in front of her, blocking my attack: "I'm sorry, Ling, I...I beg you to spare her life."

It was Yura?!

He was also covered in wounds, but in much better condition than any of us.

——But why would Yura stop me? Hasn't he also been chasing Eleonora?

Before I could figure out what was going on, a dragon's roar could be heard again in the night sky: "Roar—"
