Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Paris?

The name that Laya accidentally said caught my attention.

——·······Par·Ree·S? ! Wait, is he Hurtok's younger brother? !

I suddenly recalled the agreement with the Crucible Knight of Stonewell, but I never expected that the brother who was upright and believed in the Golden Rule as described by Hurtok would actually join the ranks of rebels and become a member of the Volcano Mansion.

Seeing that the two people on the opposite side had regained their spirits, they were full of arrogance and vowed to devour the enemy in front of them.

Ishutopia could not help but tighten his grip on his saber and sighed softly, "It's not easy to deal with, Brother Zero."

"Senior, let's change our strategy. I might be able to communicate with the Crucible Knight first, and then deal with Laya." I said quickly, "Laya, her attacks are very methodical, and she is not very resistant to shock. It shouldn't be difficult to use your gravity magic to deal with her."

"We can only try first. It's up to you, brother Zero." After saying that, Ishutopia separated from me and said, "... Hey, snake girl, come at me if you dare! I've been displeased with your Volcano Mansion for a long time, so it's perfect to burn it down!"

Although I still had enough mana, I still drank from the Holy Grail Bottle of Blue Dew Drops.

Sure enough, the Crucible Knight Paris immediately turned his head, drew his sword, and stabbed it straight at me. After seeing me roll to avoid it, he swung the sword again, turned around and made a spinning slash.

But this was all within my expectations. I dodged repeatedly and finally created a gap: "Furnace Knight Paris, I..."

Just as I was about to speak, I heard another "hiss!"

Laya suddenly stretched her waist, leaned out from the top of the furnace, twisted her body, and slashed at me with a blasphemous blow.

In a panic, I could only hold up the Night Starfire and forcibly block her attack.

——This girl, completely ignoring the ridicule and seduction of Ishutopia-senpai, came straight towards me?

I had already clenched my teeth to block Laya's attack, but a golden light flashed in the corner of my eyes, and another huge tail suddenly swung towards me.

Prayer - the end of the melting pot!

There's no possibility of dodging!

I was instantly knocked flying, and a mouthful of blood spurted onto the black lava. I felt as if my whole body was broken.

"This is judgment on you, Faded One!" Laya raised the Holy Sword of Blasphemy high in both hands, then slashed it angrily towards the ground.

Just like the souls swallowed by the giant snake, they stretched their bodies out from the molten hell and crawled towards me madly, wanting to take me into the burning purgatory.

The pain from that blow just now was so severe that I haven’t recovered yet, and I don’t have the strength to stand up and dodge.

Seeing that the demons and monsters were already close at hand, a purple light suddenly burst out from behind Laya and the Crucible Knight, pulling Laya's body and forcibly interrupting her attack.

During this time, I was able to roll on the ground and barely avoid the molten flames.

The Crucible Knight Paris turned his head and immediately prepared to attack Ishtopia, but after I caught up with the strength, I quickly got up from the ground, drank the Holy Grail bottle, and drew his attention back.

"Brother, it's up to you. Help me hold Laya back, but please don't hurt her." I quickly rang the soul-summoning bell.

Jingle Bell--

As part of the strength in my body was suddenly deprived, a cloud of silver-grey mist rose around me. The next second, Brother Teardrop changed into my appearance, slashed the mist with a sword, and rushed towards Laya quickly.

Combat skill - Scarlet Blood Moon Slash.

——Wow, a killer move right at the start.

—Brother, didn’t I tell you to be gentle?

Across the crowd, I glanced at Ishtopia, and he immediately understood and went to deal with Laya, of course, hoping to pull some of the imitation tears.

Seeing this, Ronglu immediately turned around and wanted to help Laya.

But I gathered my magic power and slashed at the opponent's back through the air.

The ice crystals drifted and flew along with the broken light of Rune, once again attracting the hatred of the furnace.

"Hey, Knight Paris, why don't you come and deal with me first?" I took another sip from the Holy Grail bottle to restore the blood volume that was taken away by my eldest brother. "Also, I have something to tell you."

Paris said nothing, held up his shield, and walked steadily towards me.

Although I mentioned Night Spark and was on guard against the other party, I tried my best to adopt a strategy of not actively attacking: "Knight Hector, I asked you to bring you greetings."

Sure enough, when Paris heard the name "Hector", he couldn't help but stop, but he didn't relax his vigilance at all. Under the helmet, his golden eyes were still ferocious.

I also continued, "He is now in Stonewell. King Greg has been defeated and surrendered to the new Storm King Nepheli Lumen. At the same time, as a deal, he hopes that I can find you. If possible, please go back to see him."

“······Are you done talking?” Paris finally spoke.

I shook my head. "Of course. I personally hope that you can take Laya to the magic academy, Rhea Lukalia. With their magic, perhaps they can cure Laya's amnesia... Besides, her relatives are there."

"Humph, this is the first time I've seen someone as hypocritical as you!" Paris sneered, "You colluded with that bastard Bernard and destroyed the Volcano Mansion. It was not enough, you killed the lady in front of the young lady with your own hands, and even didn't let her go. Now you are pretending to be a good person?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot on the ground.

The black rock shattered instantly, squeezing the molten lava underneath and splashing out.

I quickly rolled backwards, and as soon as I landed, I saw the guy directly pass through the molten water curtain that had not yet fallen, and slashed at me with a sword.

He could only block with his sword, then use the force to fall and roll away.

But I still had no intention of attacking the opponent. Taking advantage of the gap when the opponent was chasing me, I shouted: "I am not the one who hurt Laya. The real murderer is the Mad Fire Man who has the same appearance as me!"

"A bunch of nonsense."

Another sword came at me, and I could only block it with great effort, and asked, "What can I do to make you believe me?! Laya is fine, she must have been fed that bottle of forgetfulness potion, which is why she lost her memory of me, leaving only the fear that the guy killed Tanis and hurt her... But what about you? Hertok is your brother, right? Even so, are you unwilling to believe me once?"

“It’s because I believed in you who were recruited by the eldest lady that the mansion has become what it is now!” Paris charged his sword again and deflected my Night Starfire. He turned around abruptly, and the Tail of the Hundred Aspects of the Furnace swept towards me again.

I quickly lowered my body and dodged the first part of the attack.

The other party turned around again.

This was exactly what I expected. I jumped up with all my strength and dodged the attack. While Paris was unable to change his moves, I raised the Night Star and slashed at him with my sword.

Paris staggered back involuntarily after being hit by me, but he quickly stood still, raised his head, and his cheeks instantly swelled up like a toad.

——It is to pray for the “throat sac of the melting pot”!

I quickly jumped backwards and dodged the opponent's fire breath.

"I should have killed both you and Bernard the moment I realized something was wrong!" Paris spewed angrily.

I glanced in Laya's direction and saw that the little snake had indeed mistaken Teardrop for me and kept fighting with it. Ishtopia was like a referee in a boxing match, using gravity magic to pull the two sides apart from time to time.

The next second, my eyes were attracted by a loud golden light rising straight up.

Looking up, he saw Paris spread out his wings of the Crucible and soaring into the sky. He held high the sword of the Crucible Knight, like a seraph bringing God's judgment, ready to punish the sinner.

——Okay, as expected, you guys in the furnace won’t become smart unless you fight, right?!

——When dealing with you, I don’t have to show mercy like I did to Laya.

boom--

Red thunder falls from the sky.

I should understand that in this world, strength is king after all!
