Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Watching the shadow of disaster turn into a red light and dissipate under the stimulation of the magic "Comet Azrael".

Lani's voice rang in my ears again: "... What an elegant and beautiful magic battle. Thank you for bothering me. In this way, I can finally see Him."

——Ah, the limelight has been completely taken by Teacher Seren! Even Lani’s dialogue has been changed, right?!

"The contract has been concluded, Cube Witch. If you want to return to Rhea Lukalia College, the people of the Carlia royal family will not face you, including my brother, Latan."

Teacher Se Lian nodded and bowed slightly: "Thank you."

"... Then, it's time to say goodbye, both of you." Lani paused, and then continued, "Zero..."

"Wait a minute!" I also hurriedly stopped the other party at the same time, "Lani, can you still use magic to communicate with Iggy or anyone else? When you go to find Two Fingers, he will also send black knife assassins to assassinate Blaze and Iggy. You have to remind them to be careful. In addition, Brother Wolf is now imprisoned in the sealed prison on the south bank of Lake Yakir in Nimgefu. If possible, let Stonewell send some people to watch over him... But be careful that he loses his mind and runs around."

"······Okay, since it's your request, it's not too late to fulfill it now." Lani agreed.

"... If there's anything else, I wonder if you, Lani, have dealt with Servais. If not, spare his life for now. I have something I want him to help with."

Implication:

——I still have several puppets that I haven’t exchanged with him, and that old Deng can’t die yet.

Lani was silent for a moment, then sighed and agreed to my request: "Zero, you really have anticipated everything. If it had been a step later, Servais would have been tortured to death by his own puppet... Is there anything else? My ally."

"Uh... there shouldn't be anything else." I thought about it carefully, "Oh, right. Come on, just go for it and teach those stinky hands a lesson."

"Thank you for your blessing. May the Dark Moon also guide you on the road ahead." Lani seemed to smile gently, and a breeze blew around, and then everything became completely quiet.

I shouted to her invisible back, "Don't worry, I will come to find you again! Wait for me, Lani!"

——I don’t know if she can hear me.

"Disciple." Se Lian suddenly called me. I turned around and saw a silver-grey key being thrown to me. "This key should have been left to you by the Moon Princess. Take it well."

-Oh, it's the abandoned royal key. It can be used to open the treasure chest in the Great Library and find Lani's Dark Moon Ring, which is the wedding ring mentioned by the kings of the starry sky.

"Okay, the contract is complete, let's go back." Se Lian put away the magic wand, turned around and prepared to go back.

Looking at the key in my hand, I called out to him, "Teacher, can you walk with me for a while longer?"

“······Are you worried about the princess?” Se Lian saw through my thoughts at a glance.

I nodded.

“However, since it’s a battle between her and the two fingers of the divine master, we can’t really help much,” Se Lian reminded.

"I know, but after the battle, I think Lani will go to a place... the deepest part of the ground." I said sincerely, "I want to find her. I can't leave her there alone."

“······Alas, disciple, you are sometimes nosy.” Se Lian sighed, “Well, after all, I have to thank you for helping me find a new body and freeing me from the annoying constraints... I will help you again.”

"Great! Thank you, teacher!"

——With the teacher by my side, I feel more at ease.

After all, Se Lian in real life is obviously much stronger than in the game.

Moreover, the intensity of the Genesis Rain is obviously different from the drizzle in the game. It makes people feel that this is the origin magic that can be as famous as the Destruction Meteor and Comet Azrael!

I took Se Lian and continued to move forward into the scarlet rotten dust. We took the elevator at the end of the river and descended to the bottom floor.

As soon as you go out, large areas of scarlet corruption immediately catch your eyes.

A lake of corruption beneath the ground.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Outer God's Scarlet Corruption descended and massacred most of the borderland.

In this situation where everyone is likely to become a petri dish for corruption, all living creatures unite to fight against this murderous god. Finally, a blind swordsman among humans created the Flowing Water Sword Technique, which completely defeated the Goddess of Corruption and sealed her under the ground.

And this lake of corruption must have been the final battlefield at that time.

"Teacher, does your magic have the ability to remove corruption?" I touched the blessed light beside the lake and turned back to ask curiously.

Se Lian thought for a moment and shook his head.

"How about I teach you a practical prayer and see if you can remember it." As I said that, I took out the bamboo tube that Se Lian had given me from my blessing backpack and took out the parchment with the prayer "Flame Healing" drawn on it.

Se Lian took over and said, "It seems that you, my disciple, have indeed followed my instructions to memorize magic and prayers."

I smiled and responded: "I will never forget the teacher's teachings."

Next, we have to cross the corrupt lake filled with foul dust.

Although it is a little blurry, you can still see the shadow of the stone tablet standing in the lake from the shore.

Just step on it and trigger the mechanism above, and a stone platform will rise for people to move forward.

I rubbed my ankles by the lake, did some warm-up exercises, found the direction of the stone tablet, and said, "Teacher, why don't you wait on the shore for a while. I'll go open the mechanism first, and you can follow me."

Combat skill—hound step, start!

I moved forward at full speed. Although the corrupt water was as thick as glue, it couldn't stop me!

Cross the finish line in 9.58 seconds!

My speed is faster than Bolt!

——But it’s so hot! The damn corrupt lake water is like stepping on magma, the corrosive pain is so severe that it almost brings tears to my eyes.

After stepping on the mechanism, after a while, stone slabs rose up on the road ahead.

I breathed a sigh of relief, patted myself with a flame, then turned around and was about to wave to call Se Lian over.

But I saw that Se Lian had spread a large circle of light mirror on the corrupt lake surface, and walked towards her slowly and gracefully.

"What's wrong, apprentice?" She asked casually, probably because she saw my dumbfounded look.

"This, what is this?" I pointed at the ground under her feet.

"Oh, this is just a slight imitation of the magic realm's technique. The ability to increase the power of magic is cancelled, and a simple construction using pyroxene is used to form a floating platform." Se Lian used the most calm tone to describe something that I could hardly imagine, "But, it's just a little fragile..."

boom--

"Quaa?"

Before she could finish her words, suddenly, a cursed frog in the Corruption Lake jumped onto the flat surface created by Se Lian without knowing what was good for him, and the entire platform immediately shattered like glass.

And Se Lian herself lost her balance and fell into the lake with a splash.

"Teacher!" I hurried forward and helped Se Lian up, "Teacher, are you okay?"

"I was so careless. The technique I constructed on a whim is too unstable." A slightly gritted voice came from Se Lian's voice from inside the hood.

"Pfft~"

"... Apprentice, if I heard correctly, are you mocking the witch?"

Facing Seren's accusation, I quickly tensed my face and shook my head: "No, no, no, I just remembered that when I used Comet Azrael before, Teacher, I also failed."

"You are very brave. It's time to let you see why I am called the 'Magic Cube Witch'." Se Lian picked up the pyroxene staff and poked me on the head.

"It hurts." I quickly apologized again, "I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again."

"Cuck!"

——Death Curse Frog, come and ruin the atmosphere at this time!

I simply swung my knife and used the ice crystal pyroxene to split it in half.

He took Se Lian to the raised stone slab, and the cursed frogs lurking in the lake jumped up one after another.

However, they were no match for us and we dealt with them in no time.

However, because Se Lian had a new body, after wading through the Lake of Corruption for a few steps, his skin was too delicate, and the corrosive poison accumulated much faster than mine.

However, the last section of the road across the Corruption Lake has no mechanisms, so you can only walk straight through it.

——What should I do?

A good idea suddenly occurred to me: "Teacher, I will carry you over there, and you can help me with the healing of fire at the right time, how about that?"

“······This is a good idea. I’ll leave it to you, my disciple.” Se Lian accepted my advice.

Division of labor and cooperation.

Although carrying a person on his back would naturally slow down the hound's pace, it was still much faster than Seren walking slowly on his own. Moreover, I didn't need to shoot the fire myself, and if I kept my health up, I could even swim in the lake!

"Ow—"

"······Disciple, can you run faster?" When I was almost halfway through, Se Lian suddenly asked me.

"It's already full speed." After all, he was carrying a person on his back, and he had to dodge the curse frogs that suddenly appeared and sprayed death-cursing fog. In addition, the swamp water was thick, making it difficult for him to move. "What's wrong?"

"Then it seems we have to prepare for the attack." Se Lian seemed to roll up his sleeves, "Pay attention to the left, the big guy is coming."

——Big guy?

My heart skipped a beat and I turned around, only to see a scarlet tide surging towards me.

And riding on the tide, as Se Lian said, is a behemoth as big as a hill or a giant ship.

——Ah, it’s okay to be a cursed frog, but why are you, a dragon soldier, running over here instead of just sleeping over there?! ?

——There’s no fun here for you to join in, bastard!
