Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

To solve the Shadow of Disaster that blocks Lani's way forward, you must first go to the Ansel River Basin. The fastest way is naturally to go to the top floor of the nearby Rena Magician Tower and go through the portal there.

But until I walked down from Lani's magician tower, I still found it hard to believe: "Teacher Seren, why did you suddenly come back and say you wanted to do something for Lani... I thought you would go directly to Yatan Plateau to find..."

——It is not certain whether Se Lian still has any memory of herself as Source Stone, so for now, I will not tell her the location of Master Azrael.

Se Lian smiled and said, "Go find Master Yazler? His body has already crystallized, and he should stay in the hermit village. There is no need to rush to find him. Besides, although this body is quite compatible with my source stone, it still takes time to adapt. Therefore, selling it to Princess Kalia is a favor, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

——Ah, the teacher still has memories of her time with the Source Stone!

"What's wrong, apprentice? You sound as if you don't want me to go with you."

"Ah? How is that possible!" I quickly caught up with Se Lian. "Traveling alone is too boring. It's my honor to have a teacher with me. But I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"The world changes rapidly, and no one can completely control the development of any situation, so we need to find the right time to seize it." Se Lian seemed to be in a very good mood, so he talked more than usual. "Just like if it weren't for you, apprentice, maybe I would be imprisoned in that restrictive seal forever, and it would be impossible for me to temporarily board the ship of the Moon Princess."

"But, teacher, I heard that you astronomical magicians can read a person's destiny from the stars, right? This is similar to predicting the future, right?" I also asked with a little curiosity.

As for this topic, Se Lian was obviously familiar with it and could answer it without hesitation: "Destiny is not a predetermined future. It just tells you the general direction of progress. For example, most of you Faded Ones have the destiny to become the King of Elden, but there is only one person who can really succeed... Or even no one can do it?"

——That makes sense.

While chatting, we came to Rena's Magician Tower and climbed up to the second floor from the ladder inside. Sure enough, there was a treasure chest. I habitually went around it and opened it.

Sure enough, it was a complete set of the Snow Witch.

"Apprentice, it's not good to touch other people's wardrobes." Se Lian saw at a glance that this set of equipment was exactly the same as Lani's, and reminded him.

"Ah... this, this is a backup for Lani later, just in case, just in case she gets her clothes torn in the battle with Two Fingers." I was quite embarrassed and quickly made an excuse.

——You can’t just say, I want to wear couple outfits with Lani.

——However, I didn’t expect that the teacher could be so nagging sometimes.

After putting away the Snow Witch suit, we walked up the stairs to the top floor, where the portal was rotating with a glowing light.

I squatted down and put my hand in it. I felt slightly dizzy and when I opened my eyes again, Se Lian and I had been teleported to the Ansel River Basin.

The river water flows slowly under my feet, and among the gloomy and dark trees, the blessed light like candlelight flickers.

Se Lian went upstream along the river, and after a few steps he reached the end of the forest.

There, the fire was bright, illuminating the entire ancient ruins.

"The dynasty of the old humans, Uru? I didn't expect there are such relics here." Se Lian couldn't help but said, but she soon realized something and turned her head, "Apprentice, what are you doing?"

"Teacher, have you seen little Lani?" I was still searching in the jungle.

——That’s not right. I remember clearly that in the game, petite Lani should be placed in the sarcophagus near the blessing point!

Why doesn't it exist in reality?

It couldn’t have been taken away by the clay people here!

"Little Lani?" Seren came back curiously.

"Well, well, how should I put it, it should be the token left by Lani..." Looking at Teacher Seren, a guess suddenly came to my mind.

In the game, wasn't the first use of petite Lani to ask A-Ti to help her solve the Shadow of Disaster?

But in reality, she has already entrusted the matter to Teacher Serlian, so there is no need to keep petite Lani as a task guide... Besides, with Lani's proud personality, she would never expose herself in front of Serlian, a person with whom she had only a temporary appointment!

Is this what they mean by "you can't have your cake and eat it too"?

——Wow, Lani, my little Lani.

“...Disciple, why are you suddenly crying? Does the teleportation magic make you feel uncomfortable?” Se Lian asked with a little concern.

I shook my head with tears in my eyes: "No, it's just sand in my eyes. Let's go, teacher."

——Forget it, I should cherish this trip with Teacher Se Lian.

——After all, this is the only experience in this world!

Following Teacher Se Lian, we crossed the gloomy river area and headed towards the ancient ruins of the Uru Dynasty.

Under the firelight, the figure swayed.

On both sides of the gate, there is a huge sculpture of an old man. He holds a stone tablet in his hands, wears a cloak, and has vines wrapped around his body.

Between the two sculptures, like the shed skin of some insect, hangs a huge pale monster upside down.

As soon as the monster sensed the approach of a strange force, it suddenly curled up slightly as if doing a handstand sit-up, and a purple aura of gravity magic emerged from its body, like the roar of a giant beast, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

"Teacher, this way!" I quickly grabbed Se Lian's hand and hid under a nearby stone wall.

The next second, like a hailstorm, crackling sounds came from the other side of the stone wall.

It was the monster that used gravity magic to summon rocks and launched a machine gun-like attack.

"Is that the dark starry guest, Esti?" Selian recognized the monster.

I also shared my own combat experience: "Unless you get too close, that guy will only use this one attack, and the intervals are quite long. If you wait a little while, you will have a chance to counterattack."

"······Speaking of which, apprentice, it seems that you have learned Master Yazler's unique magic, right?" Se Lian asked suddenly.

Although I don't know why I'm saying this now, I still nodded honestly: "Yes, but my intelligence is not enough to cast such high-end magic."

"Do you remember the specific runes?"

"That magic, Comet Azr didn't seem to have any magic runes. At that time, I only remember a beam of comet light appeared in front of me, like a torrent, suddenly shooting from the end of the dark universe... After that, wasn't it you, teacher, who helped me?" I asked back curiously.

“······Then, I didn’t remember it wrongly.” Se Lian picked up the magic wand and walked outside while thinking.

"teacher?"

As soon as Gray Esti saw us popping our heads out from behind the earth wall, she immediately activated the gravity magic again.

The purple glow gathered the stones and sand on the ground into a ball, floating it into the air. Even several clay figures of the Uru Dynasty were caught up in the magic.

Se Lian was still drumming his wand, thinking with his head down: "I remember, the feeling at that time should be like this..."

Whoosh whoosh—

The next second, all the gravity meteorites, under the control of Ash Esti, smashed towards Selian.

"Teacher?!" I saw that Se Lian was still immersed in his own thoughts and had no intention of dodging, so I quickly drew out the Night Starfire and rushed forward.

Prayer - Lance Shanks's Dragon Thunder Shelter!

The sword was attached with red lightning, and it was swung at the flying meteorite.

Good weight!

——Although the first piece was successfully split, the quality of this attack is comparable to the sparks of Mongert's hammer!

I clenched my teeth, but after blocking four or five flying rocks in succession, my hands were shaking with pain so much that I could no longer hold my weapon.

"Thank you for your hard work, disciple." Suddenly, as Se Lian's words rang out behind him, a turbulent torrent of magic suddenly rushed out, instantly crushing all the flying meteorites into slag, and then hit Ash Estie.

The monster was simply unable to resist this powerful force. Just like the vampire in Western legend hitting the sunlight, it quickly turned into a wisp of gray smoke and dissipated from bottom to top along with the comet torrent.

This is magic—Comet Azrael!
