Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"That rude fader is out there! Chase him!"

"How dare you contradict the King of Blessings and blaspheme gold? You are courting death!"

Curses came like a tide, mixed with the chaotic sound of pursuit, rushing towards them.

呲——

The arrow suddenly pierced through from behind, bringing with it golden lightning. Even if it just scraped the person's shoulder, it would leave a wound that was so painful that it numbed people.

I was so anxious that I missed a step on the stairs and rolled all the way to the bottom.

And in front of us is the central avenue of the Royal City of Rodel.

"He fell! Catch him! That bastard!" The Rodel soldiers behind him continued to chase him.

I had no choice but to stand up quickly and continue running for my life.

Wuwuwu——

In the evening breeze as the afterglow faded, the sound of a horn was heard.

Before he had run a few steps, the tiny leaves that fell from the golden tree in the air in front of him gathered together with the swirling wind, and in a blink of an eye, formed the incarnation of the golden tree.

A huge fat guy suddenly pressed down on me.

——Damn it, it can automatically search for enemies. Even if I want to run away, it will chase me. It has to land on me, right?!

Combat skill - hound step.

I had to accelerate to full speed at the moment when he was about to fall, and just barely avoided the guy's overwhelming force.

However, the incarnation of the golden tree did not give me a moment to breathe. It swung its hammer-like scepter and smashed it towards me.

——But right next to it is the terrace blessing point next to the avenue!

Although the golden gate at the entrance was closed for some reason, I still rushed towards it without hesitation.

I heard a loud bang and I slammed myself against the door.

——Can’t open from this side?!

I was stunned. This is unrealistic! It's clearly open in the game, why is it even locked in reality! ?

The sound of wind whistled from behind me, and I subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid it. Then I saw the incarnation of the golden tree using the scepter to smash the golden door of the terrace inward, causing it to dent and completely jam it.

I had to run in another direction. I remembered that after crossing the avenue, there was an elevator in the garden that could take people down to another part of Rodel, which was the entrance to the royal city's sewer.

But before he had run a few steps, Rodel's Golden Knights had already brought people to surround him from the other end of the avenue, probably because they heard the call of the horn.

The way forward was blocked, and on the road behind, the incarnation of the golden tree was also closing in step by step.

It was over. I could only escape to a small recess beside the main road, where there were two benches, which were supposed to be a place to rest.

Standing on the bench, I looked outside the guardrail.

It seemed like I could flip over to the roof of a building in the city below, but it was still very high, probably about two stories high, and there was about two or three meters of space in between. If I missed a step...

"Hurry up, don't let him run away!" The soldiers' shouts were getting closer.

Moreover, the footsteps of the huge incarnation of the golden tree seemed to be stepping on people's hearts. I'm afraid that if I turn around, I would see it swinging a big hammer!

——There’s nothing I can do!

All I could do was climb over the guardrail and aim at the top of the house below.

"What does this guy want to do?!" Turning his head, he could already see the Rodel soldiers behind him, "Is he trying to escape to the lower city? Stop him quickly!"

"Go eat shit, bye!" I chuckled and jumped up, "Jackie Chan!"

Blessed by the originator of parkour in film history, a perfect landing!

Snapped!

"Ah?!" The next second, there was a cracking sound of the roof tiles under my feet, and then I fell straight into it, smashing the table heavily and falling to the floor.

"Ouch... my waist! Half of my blood must have been lost now! What bad luck, so bad luck." Rubbing his painful waist, he got up from the ground speechlessly, raised his head and glanced at the hole he had made.

The Rodel knights on the top seemed to just lean on the railing and take a look, and did not follow my example and chase after me directly.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and was about to summon Melina to bless and teleport.

"Ah——" In the dark room, a zombie-like face suddenly appeared. It was skinny as a stick, with eye sockets so sunken that it looked like beads were about to fall out.

"Oh my god!" He subconsciously raised his foot and kicked forward.

I kicked the Immortal and he fell out of the window.

——I didn’t expect that there are people living in these houses?

——This was considered breaking into a private house, and I even got beaten up by the owner... I'd better run away as soon as possible.

"Melina, please."

As I called out, Melina immediately appeared beside me: "Leave it to me, Master Zero."

After holding her hand and being distracted for a moment, we returned to the high-rise building in Rodel City - Queen Marika's boudoir.

And Mongert was already waiting here: "Oh, Zero, Melina, you are back."

"Teacher, you are really killing me!" I said unhappily, with my face drooping. "There is no need to send out so many troops, and even summon the incarnation of the golden tree! You don't really want me to be caught, do you?!"

"Hahaha, didn't you, Zero, say that you wanted me to issue a wanted order for you in Rodel so that I could lure that crazy guy into the trap?" Teacher Mongget said with a smile.

······Indeed, this is the plan we just discussed.

but--

"But before that, you didn't have to fight with me! You suddenly crushed the cane and took out the cursed knife to chop directly at me." I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I remembered that Monggot had just taken out eighteen weapons and bombarded people.

I really thought I was about to enter a boss battle with the Evil King, and the sudden change scared Melina so much that she just froze in place and didn't come forward to help me.

But Mungert still smiled and explained: "After all, the last time I fought with you was through the illusion outside the Stonewell Gate, and Lance Shanks also favored you, which made me want to test your skills."

"..."

"I have to admit that your moves are indeed more varied and complex than I imagined, and the damage capability is also quite significant, but it still lacks precision, so the consistency is relatively poor, and it is easy for people to find flaws." Mungert said, "While you are very offensive, you also need to be strong in defense, Zero."

I had nothing to say, so I swallowed my anger at being beaten and chased around, stood up, bowed, and said, "From now on, I hope Mr. Mengget will give me more guidance."

"Sometimes I may not be able to control the strength of my attack, if you don't mind."

"Why would I mind? After all, there aren't many opportunities to become stronger for free in this land. There will be many challenges waiting for me in the future. Besides..." I laughed and joked, "In this way, the teacher will be a real teacher~"

This time, Mengget did not refute and changed the subject: "It's getting late. You can rest here for the time being. Generally, no one will enter the boudoir and the throne at the back without permission. If there is anything, just ask the black knife outside the door to go."

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Mongert."

Monggot waved his hand and walked back towards the throne.

After I watched the other person leave, my eyes immediately fixed on the only berth in the boudoir... Hey~

"Wow, it's so cool and comfortable~ And it's so spacious, I can even roll around on it~" I excitedly rolled from the left side of the berth to the right side, and finally, I lay on it and sniffed, "This fragrance, could it be Queen Malika..."

"Lord Zero."

"Ah, Mei, Melina, don't get me wrong, I just, I really do smell good, I'm not a pervert!" I quickly jumped up from the bed, "If you don't believe me, smell it yourself."

——Yabai (Oh ​​no), he’s as crazy as ever, he even forgot Meimei is still watching!

"······Since it is the queen's berth, there should always be incense." Melina seemed quite speechless.

She shook her head slightly, then raised her eyes and looked at me: "Master Ling, now, can you tell me... the meaning of surviving in the form of a soul even if the body is burned... the mission of this person named Melina."
