Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Thanks to Alexander's help, the pair swimming in the lava were finally silenced.

"Millicent, Alexander!" I stood on the dragon head, unable to suppress the excitement in my heart, and greeted the two of them.

But in the remaining light, there was a bright red color coming from the direction of the lake.

Oh no, it's the group of fire believers from Ledo Fortress! And there are several fire chariots!

Have they completely dealt with Rodel's troops at the door and are coming to our side to support the Archbishop?

...Looking from the dragon head, it seemed that there were several golden figures sticking to the volcanic cliff, trying to sneak around the fire believers.

But I can’t care more about that.

Because we were fighting in the magma all the time, although I was mostly riding on Torret's back, I also had to keep up with supplies to maintain Torret's condition. After all, whether it was him or myself, if we accidentally took an attack from the Lava Earth Dragon, we might be the ones sinking in the magma.

Therefore, the number of times the Holy Grail bottle on his body can be restored is limited.

At this time, facing this mighty army, of course the best strategy is to retreat!

I quickly changed my words and shouted, "The group of fire followers are coming, run!"

We dropped the Earth Dragon and rode on Torret, while Alexander also carried Millicent and followed us all the way across the lava lake.

"Gah-"

Just after running away from this scorching place, before they had time to catch their breath, a group of gray figures suddenly jumped out from behind the rocks on the side of the road.

Like highway robbers, the Asians raised their weapons high and showed off their power to us.

But they really chose the wrong opponent.

Our faces all darkened and we suppressed their noisy voices.

——If they can’t deal with the flame believers’ troops, they can’t deal with you?!

——Ah, but you have to be careful, the little Asians on the volcano side can also throw fire pots, and the damage is quite high.

boom!

Look, look, just as I finished speaking, a flame pot exploded at my feet.

——Looking for a fight!

I rushed forward quickly and blew off the stinky Asian's head with one sword.

"Wow! Wowahhhhh——" Now they were scared, and the remaining three or two demi-humans quickly ran inside along the mountain path.

"Don't run!" Of course, we weren't going to chase them specifically, it's just that our route was the same.

But just as we passed the mountain road and saw a dilapidated village in front of us, there was a deafening roar that frightened us so much that our hearts stopped for a moment: "Roar—"

——Oh my god, it’s our dear Bro Bear!

The roar was still ringing in my ears when the Rune Bear rushed out from behind a dilapidated house, mouth wide open and drooling as it charged towards me.

It was like my body's instinctive reaction, and I subconsciously turned around and ran.

But Alexander showed no fear at all, and rushed forward first: "I am Alexander the Iron Fist, Rune Bear of the Volcano, come and compete with me!"

"Roar--"

The giant Rune Bear suddenly pounced at him, but Alexander had no intention of dodging. He simply attacked with both fists, using his body to block the opponent's palms, while his fists pressed against the Rune Bear's shoulders.

But Rune Bear's strength was indeed strong. Without any pause, he hugged Alexander and pushed him back.

······This route is bad. There will be a cliff further back!

The Gmir volcano is considered the border of the border area. If you fall down, you will be completely lost in the sea!

An idea suddenly flashed through my mind, and I shouted hastily, "Brother Hu! Grab the bear's fur and turn around! Turn around and throw it out!"

Alexander also had complete trust in me, and immediately followed my instructions, grabbed Rune Bear's shoulders, and yelled with all his might: "Oh oh oh oh oh——"

"Roar--"

"Oh oh oh--ha!" Alexander slightly adjusted the wrestling technique I gave him, and with the push of the Rune Bear, he leaned backwards and turned sideways, throwing the Rune Bear away.

The Rune Bear's brute force that was thrust forward was forcibly twisted away by Alexander. It was unable to stop its feet, and its arms were unable to completely embrace the round pot, so it was thrown out.

And the end of the direction it fell was a cliff.

"Roar--"

——Robert!

—Oh, no more Robert!

After Alexander threw the Rune Bear away, he couldn't help but roll towards the cliff.

"Brother Hu!" I hurriedly chased after him.

Fortunately, Millicent's reaction was faster than mine. She had already flashed forward, stood up and kicked Brother Hu, causing him to roll back several times before stopping.

"Hahaha! Nice flying kick!" Alexander stood up, hugged the pot with his arms, and praised Millicent.

He turned around again and thanked me cheerfully, "And Brother Ling, the trick you just came up with is really interesting. Otherwise, I would be the one falling off the cliff. Hahaha!"

"But it still has to be Brother Hu. If I were pounced on by the Rune Bear, I would be held in its arms and trampled on, and then thrown away like garbage." I breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile.

After the Rune Bear fell off the cliff, the demihumans fled in all directions.

Alas, after traveling day and night and fighting for most of the day, we can finally have a chance to rest.

According to the map settings in the game, after passing through this small village of sub-humans, there is a blessed light in a dilapidated house near the entrance of the Hermit Village.

Come to think of it, I haven't unlocked the Rune Map of the Gmir Volcano yet. I wanted to check it out, but all I could think of was a gray fog.

Forget it, luckily there are no forks in the road here, so I won’t get lost.

I took Alexander and Millicent to the blessing point first, and then took a rest. On the way, I asked Alexander: "Although I expected that you would climb the Yatan Plateau, I never thought that I would meet you here at the Lava Lake."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet Brother Zero and Millicent while practicing... It seems that you are all doing well." Alexander said with a smile, "Especially Brother Zero. When Brother Ishtopia and I passed by Lienia, we heard that you had done a lot of great things."

"Yeah, I guess so. But it was also thanks to Kalia, Rhea Lukalia and everyone in Stonewell that we were able to put down the rebellion of the Cuckoo Knights... By the way, Alexander, we mentioned Ishtopia-senpai just now. Wasn't he with you?"

"Well, Ishutopia went to the volcano residence first, about two days ago." Alexander revealed something that surprised me, "I saw that the magma lake seemed to be able to refine the body, so I stayed here temporarily."

"Wait, wait, Ishutopia-senpai went to the Volcano Residence?!" I widened my eyes, "Is this true?!"

——This is a plot that does not exist in the game at all. Moreover, even in reality, didn’t Ishtopia feel resistance to the Volcano Mansion and was a little disliked by Laya before?

Why did he go to the Volcano Residence?

Alexander continued confidently, "When we came to the Yatan Plateau from the ancient ruins cliff, we happened to meet your friend, Brother Ling. His name is Patch, right?"

——Ah, an unexpected, yet reasonable name.

——But Patch could not persuade Ishtopia, the role model of knight, to join the rebel camp.

"It was he who told us that Brother Zero, you have become a member of the Volcano Residence. Therefore, Ishtopia and I planned to go there to find you."

······Wang Defa (WTF), what, what’s going on? !
