Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Some of my brothers are missing." After I agreed to help Trone, he asked his men to put away their weapons and took Melina and me to the depths of the underground road. "Since you said you know everything about this ghost place, you should have heard of the underground cemetery here, right?"

——Ah, here we come, the Rodel Underground Cemetery, the first cyber-wall built by the French.

At the beginning, I also wandered around in that damn cemetery for a full hour, but still couldn't reach the mechanism to open the BOSS room.

It’s right beside you, right in front of you.

Tron naturally couldn't hear my inner complaints and continued with his own topic: "Ever since he believed in the Mother of Truth, Monger has been like a madman. His followers even broke into my territory and stole our holy objects. However, that guy naturally couldn't escape from under my nose, so he actually hid in that damn cemetery... Several of my brothers chased him in, but up to now, there is still no trace of him. Only one guy escaped."

He glanced at the evil omens beside him, and one of them walked forward tremblingly.

“······Old, Boss, you, you don’t want me to lead the way for them, do you? I, I·····”

"Humph, isn't Zero omniscient and omnipotent? Do I need you to lead the way?" Tron sneered, "You just need to tell me how you got out."

The Son of Evil Omen swallowed again and again, and bowed to apologize to Melina and me, "Zero, Brother Zero, and Lady Witch, I'm really sorry for what I did just now. But, but I really don't know how I got out. I just felt like I was walking, walking, and walking, but I was always circling around in one place and couldn't get out... In order to find a way out, several brothers who were with me got separated, and I, I didn't know how, but I suddenly walked back to the exit one day. At that time, I was so excited that I only wanted to run outside, and I didn't remember how I got out at all... Now, even if you want me to go back, I, I..."

Poor omen, in him I saw the shadow of myself who was once confused.

Moreover, the A-Ti in the game can be teleported out directly through the blessing. If they are trapped in the Evil Omen, they may not be able to get out.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the maze." I looked at Tron, "The main thing is, even if I find your brothers, what if they attack me together?"

Trone stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "This is easy."

As he said this, he threw me a gray-black object.

It was a statue of a baby still in swaddling clothes, but there were still many ruby-like spots on his body, just like the sawed-horned sons of evil omens I met when I first climbed the Yatan Plateau.

The image of a young child is an evil omen.

——People who abandon bad omens cast images of them in order to seek psychological peace of mind.

"When you meet people, show this to them, and they will know that you are the one I sent." Trone paused and added, "Also, there are always endless ghosts wandering in that cemetery, so be careful."

"The endless ghosts?"

"Well, this is Rodel's territory after all. Maybe it's the dog-raised soldiers who were buried here in the past. They still won't let me go!"

——Strange, I remember that in that cemetery, besides the Son of Evil Omen, there were some immortals. Are there ghosts in reality?

As he was talking, Tron had already asked someone to open a hole in the floor of the room at the end of the avenue. In the game, this side has to be opened from the bottom.

"You can go directly to the underground cemetery from here, but those ghosts also gather here and wander around." Tron reminded.

“······Ah, could it be the soul-summoning snail?!” I seemed to suddenly understand what the so-called ghosts that cannot be eliminated or killed are.

"Snail summoner?"

"It's a thing that can summon the ashes of soldiers. Well, you'll know if you follow me." I took the lead and walked down confidently.

After looking at each other, Tron and his evil brothers followed Melina and came down together.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

"Ah, your head, ah!" He raised his knife and chopped the pale soul of the Rodel soldier who was rushing towards him into two halves, but after a while, this guy reappeared in front of us with the ghost fire burning.

——The recovery speed is much faster than in the game.

——But it is indeed a summoning snail.

"Don't worry about them, just follow me." I quickened my pace and led everyone through the tunnel, walked down the stairs to a small platform, jumped directly from the platform, turned around, and swung a sword.

I heard a "buzz" sound, and the wall in front of me disappeared, and the soul of a soldier was hidden inside, swinging a knife at me.

I kicked it directly towards the wall on the left, and the soldier's soul smashed another invisible wall.

A round, pale head popped out from inside, but when it saw me, it quickly shrank back.

"You're already at a dead end, and you still want to run?" I broke into the Summoning Snail's boudoir, grabbed its desperately shaking head, and chopped it off with a knife.

In an instant, all the pale Rodel soldiers outside also softened and disappeared underground like ginseng fruits.

There was a light of an item on a corpse next to the Summoning Snail. I picked it up and saw that it was the Holy Dragon Emblem Amulet +1.

——Perhaps, this summoning snail has countless connections with this corpse, which is why it guards the person's belongings even after his death.

When I put away the amulet, Tron came over and said, "I have lived here since I can remember. I didn't expect that there is such a space in this ghost place?"

"After all, this is the hometown of the old thief Miyazaki. If we don't design a roundabout way, I'm afraid that the angry A-Tai would have broken in and assassinated us long ago."

"Old thief Miyazaki?" Trone's face was full of question marks.

"······Well, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, this guy is the culprit of those ghosts. It should be resurrected through the blessing. You can take the snail out, or let it stay here. Anyway, we know the way to deal with the ghosts, right?" I quickly changed the subject and kicked the shell of the summoning snail to Tron's feet.

Not to mention, the shell is quite hard. Moreover, when I chopped off the snail's head, a large part of it immediately retracted into the shell... Maybe this guy is not dead at all, but just interrupted the summoning.

Tron looked at the snail shell at his feet for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother Zero."

——······Huh? Why did you suddenly change your name?!

Trone actually said sincerely: "It seems that what you said is indeed true. Please help me bring back my brothers."

“...Well, leave it to me.”
