Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Ow—"

Accompanied by roars, the scarlet tide rolled in wave after wave.

On the Corruption Lake, I ran as fast as I could, and behind me, like a hill of dragon soldiers, slapping the lake water, chasing me relentlessly.

"Why?" I didn't understand. "Why would this dragon soldier chase us?"

——Is this also due to the bad physique of Ah Ti’s dog?

"Dragon soldiers were created in ancient times by the underground Knox people after they obtained samples of the ancient dragon clan. They were used as guards to deal with the scarlet corruption. It is not surprising that such monsters exist in such a place." Teacher Se Lian said as he swung his staff and threw out a pyroxene demon gravel, hitting the dragon soldier's head.

The other party roared and chased even more anxiously.

"Thank you for the science, teacher." I had to run faster, and at the same time I shouted in anger, "But don't these guys usually sleep? We didn't provoke it before!"

"Perhaps it sensed our magic power and regarded us as invaders; or maybe someone woke it up..." Se Lian paused, "Hmm? There seems to be an ancestor spirit on the dragon's back."

"Ancestor spirit?"

——Ah, I remember now!

In the game, there is indeed an ancestral spirit near the place where the dragon soldiers are sleeping. If you defeat him, he will drop the amulet "Immunity Horn Ornament".

——It seems that this guy mistook us for invaders and awakened the dragon soldiers, right?

"Ow—"

Fortunately, we have already run across most of the Corrupted Lake, and the giant statue of the old man holding the stone tablet on the shore is clearly visible. As long as we run into that large corridor, this guy should be able to calm down.

······It turns out that I thought less.

"Ow!"

The dragon soldier slapped me on the head with his claws. When he saw me dodge and go into the corridor door, he followed me without hesitation.

Although the huge body was stuck in the narrow entrance, after struggling for a few times, it actually squeezed in.

——Is my hatred value so high? !

Well, I could only continue to run with Teacher Se Lian on my back. Even when I passed by the blessing point, I just kicked it. After the trigger status was cleared and restored, I continued to run directly to the side stairs, not daring to stop for a moment.

But I didn't expect that the next second, my whole body shook with the ground, and there was nothing under my feet... No way, the platform here couldn't bear the weight of the dragon soldiers and collapsed? !

Because the Grand Corridor was built to divert water to the Corruption Lake, the center of the balcony after entering it was hollow, making it difficult for the dragon soldiers to step on it, so this guy actually chose to fly directly towards me.

The platform with the blessed light had no support underneath. As a result, it was hit hard by the behemoth with its entire body weight, and the entire platform collapsed.

"Ow—"

Fortunately, I didn't hesitate at all. Before the platform collapsed, I suddenly jumped towards the wall and grabbed the edge of the protruding eaves.

"Teacher, you climb up first."

After Teacher Se Lian stood in a safe place first, I climbed up there too, and only then did I feel a little relieved.

The area under the Grand Corridor was already in chaos.

"Ow—"

This was originally a place where a group of corrupt followers worshipped the sealed Scarlet Goddess of Corruption.

Now that this monster, which was created to fight corruption, suddenly broke in, the two sides naturally started fighting fiercely.

Countless silk threads flew towards the dragon soldiers like chains, but this huge monster was extremely strong. It tore the silk threads apart with a simple shake of its body. It raised its hand and slapped the corrupt followers who had no time to dodge, turning them into a puddle of pulp.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with many corrupt dependents rushing over here.

——In that case, can I go to the sacrificial hall at the end of the Grand Corridor and steal the weapon "Scorpion Tail Needle"?

It is said that this is a relic of a sealed external god, in other words, it may contain the power of a corrupt goddess.

Although it is not very useful in the game, it may have special abilities in real life~

Just as I was thinking this and preparing to continue watching the fight from the mountain, a fierce roar echoed in the corridor: "Roar——"

Even the dragon soldiers seemed to sense the crisis, so they let the corrupt followers go for the time being and turned back.

Scarlet corruption fell from the sky. A corrupt tree spirit opened its mouth wide and suddenly pounced on the dragon soldier, actually pinning the opponent to the ground.

"Roar--"

This guy was very rude from the start. A scarlet light glowed slightly on his body, and his big mouth spewed out bright red flames directly at the opponent under him.

But in the next second, a dragon claw with pale electric arcs suddenly stretched out from the flames and directly closed the big mouth of the corrupt tree spirit.

In terms of strength, the dragon soldier seemed to be stronger than the corrupt tree spirit. After grabbing the opponent's head, he twisted it a few times and threw the tree spirit that was pressing on him away.

"Oh, teacher, look, they are fighting~" I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This is a cricket fighting activity that is suitable for all ages. Moreover, we are in a high position, and the guys below can't touch us at all, and don't notice us either. It is the best place to watch the scenery.

"Disciple, are we just going to watch this now?" Se Lian seemed to have no interest in the battle between the Cantabile monsters and spoke in a flat tone.

"After all, this is a rare scene."

"That's true, but please don't delay anything."

"It's okay, teacher. After they have had their fun, we can reap the benefits."

As we were talking, the two huge monsters below had already come to the vicinity of the stone pillar where we were.

And it seems that the dragon soldiers have the upper hand. They suppress the corrupt tree spirit against the wall and tear at its vines.

After all, no matter what, the Dragon Soldier is still the orthodox BOSS monster in the Corruption Lake, and the Corruption Tree Spirit is just a large elite monster.

But there were also quite a few corrupt followers in the corridors. Some of them summoned silk threads to attack, while others twisted their bodies, ran to the heels of the dragon soldiers, and stabbed them with their insect spears.

As for the ancestral spirit that was theoretically on the side of the dragon soldiers, it had been dealt with at some point in time, and its corpse floated in the water channel in the center of the corridor.

The corrupt followers were like a group of fleas, always itching on the body. This made the dragon soldiers furious. After shaking off the corrupt tree spirit, they turned around and swept away the followers under their feet.

The corrupt tree spirit seemed to realize that it could not compete head-on with the dragon soldiers. It stood up, roared, and suddenly began to climb up the wall in a hurry.

——You guys, are you a spider?!

——And, is this an attempt to repeat the same old tricks and suppress the opponent as he did at the beginning?

but--

"Disciple, it's coming!" Se Lian reminded hurriedly.

"Yeah, I knew it!"

Although it wasn't coming towards us, the huge size of the Corrupted Tree Spirit still took away our viewing space. Moreover, a scarlet light appeared inside this guy's body, and he was about to use his Corrupted Breath!

"Teacher, follow me quickly." In order to avoid being affected, I quickly took Se Lian and followed the path in the game and jumped down from the stone pillar.

Behind him, the dragon soldier was covered in corrosive flames, and he condensed an icy and pale lightning spear in his hand and threw it suddenly at his opponent.

"Roar——" The corrupt tree spirit was shot and roared angrily, then had no choice but to pounce on the dragon soldiers again.

Taking advantage of its falling momentum, it once again briefly suppressed its opponent.

But soon, the dragon soldiers came to their senses and wrestled with the corrupt tree spirit again.

But you can fight if you want, why do you have to roll towards us like a huge rock falling?

——I truly felt what it means when monsters fight, mortals suffer.

All we can say is that the large corridor is not wide enough to accommodate these two monsters standing shoulder to shoulder. Once they start fighting, they can only roll around everywhere.

"What bad luck! Why don't you just roll to the other side?" I complained angrily.

——Wouldn't it be difficult to get the scorpion tail needle in this way? It would be easy to get stuck inside, "Teacher, come this way!"

He squeezed in from the corner of the large corridor and avoided the space where the two monsters were fighting and rolling. With a loud bang, the corrupt tree spirit was kicked away by the dragon soldiers.

At the end of this side is a waterfall that drains away the water of corruption, and there are several sarcophagi scattered around it.

In order to prevent any further trouble, it would be troublesome if those two monsters attacked us here.

I took Se Lian and entered the sarcophagus at the mouth of the waterfall. According to the game process, we quickly left the corridor.
