Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Really, I am speechless. Good intentions are not rewarded.

Originally, because "Black Knife Leader" Aleto was the mother of good sister Di Xi, I had been trying to negotiate with her to avoid a life-and-death fight, but this "crazy woman" actually cut my wrist and snatched the soul-summoning bell.

In addition, from what she was shouting, Aleto also wanted to return to Rodel to avenge Dixi.

Although it is said that every wrong has its perpetrator, in her current state, entering the royal city will only lead to a massacre and harm of innocent people.

——I finally understood why Lani put the Black Knife Leader in jail.

Moreover, right now, the situation in Rodel City is changing rapidly. I still want to facilitate peace talks between Kalia and the Royal City. I can't let Aleto, who has a close relationship with Lani, ruin our good fortune!

I quickly drank the dew drops from the Holy Grail to heal my wounds, then blew the spirit horse whistle and chased after it towards the nearby forest.

But the moonlight was dim, and in the blink of an eye, Aleto had disappeared.

The entire Moonlight Altar is quite large, but apart from blessing and teleporting, I have no good way to leave here, which also means there is no place to block the door.

For a moment, I really didn’t know where to find this “King of Black Knives” Aleto.

"Ow—"

"It's Adura's roar, Torret, go and take a look!" Recalling that Adura seemed reluctant to approach the sealed prison before, I hurriedly drove Torret to look for the sound.

After passing through the woods and the feet of several wild pyroxene dragons, in the open space in front of the Cathedral of Manus Theris, Adura really stood in front of Aleto, spewing blazing pyroxene fire, blocking the opponent from moving forward.

"Adura!" Aleto roared angrily, "Don't get in my way! Or do you want me to settle the account with you, Kalia, now?"

"Ow!"

"Let's settle the score between us first!" I rushed forward on Torret, suddenly leaped up, and chopped down at Alato with my sword.

The other party dodged nimbly, his eyes glowing red, staring at me viciously: "Boy! I spared your life because you brought me out of prison, but don't be ungrateful!"

"Ah? I don't think I have to thank you, do I?!" Night Star Fire ignited a flame, "Give me back the Soul Summoning Bell."

“······If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself if you have the ability!” Aleto slowly lowered her body, and a black and red aura seemed to rise from her body, like a cheetah aiming at its prey.

coming!

Aleto's figure swayed slightly, and then she rushed towards me at the speed of wind.

——The tiger is really a tiger that doesn’t show its power. Do you really think I’m a sick cat?

The wind rises up from the ground.

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

Under the night sky, flames burned brightly.

The Black Knife Assassin is thin and not good at resisting strong interruptions or strong impact attacks.

The interrupted Molten Hurricane Dance quickly forced Alatossa to stop.

——It’s a pity. I should have been a little slower and included her in it.

I immediately changed my moves and took a big leap towards Aleto, raising the Night Star above my head, as if I was carrying a blazing red dragon, roaring and biting directly at the opponent.

Heidao jumped sideways again and leaped four or five meters away.

——Sure enough, agility is the black knife’s greatest weapon.

However, my hound pace, coupled with the dragon thunder protection, is not bad either.

Red arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on my body, and I flashed in front of Aleto at lightning speed, swung my sword at him, and cut out a scorching flame.

But I saw Aleto suddenly jump up and flip over my head.

At the same time, the dagger in her hand ignited the flame of destined death, and she slashed at me in the air.

Although he dodged to the side in time, he still felt a slight burning pain on his shoulder.

I gritted my teeth and quickly turned around and stabbed him.

Sure enough, this guy also stood on tiptoe as soon as he landed on the ground, and then rushed towards my back like a spring, but his attack was interrupted by my quick turn and knife.

I blocked the Night Starfire with a dagger, but Aleto was no match for me in strength, so I had to move back and prepare to fight again.

As soon as she landed, a black cloud suddenly fell on top of her head.

As soon as he raised his head, a huge dragon claw came down directly.

Aleto had no choice but to dodge again.

This time, I have to seize the opportunity!

——If I say that Molten Hurricane Dance, which evolved from Storm Foot and Storm Attack, is my strongest interrupting move.

——Then, the combat skill "Hunting Giants" must be the most powerful impact move!

Although I had never used it before, I had used it thousands of times in the game, so I already remembered the basic movements and usage of the fighting skills clearly. It should be like this... Gather the Night Starfire at the waist, accumulate power, and then aim at the head of the black knife that is still dodging in mid-air, and stab it suddenly from bottom to top like catching the moon in the bottom of the sea.

The opponent had no way to avoid it and could only take it. He was knocked flying by me and fell to the ground.

The outcome has been decided.

Although the opponent seemed to have twisted his body slightly and avoided the vital parts before being pierced by the Night Star Fire, he was still bleeding profusely.

And I, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was still unable to stand up, quickly stepped forward, and the Night Star Fire, with a faint thunder, slashed down at the "Head of the Black Knife" Aleto.

Jingle Bell--

Suddenly, the soul-summoning bell on the other person's waist rang.

A dark blue soul suddenly flew out and condensed into an appearance very similar to Aleto. It crossed the dagger and forcibly blocked my attack.

——Is it the summoning of the ashes of Black Blade Dixi?

I subconsciously stepped back and frowned slightly.

——Dealing with a black knife assassin is fine, but now, we have to deal with Di Xi? It's a bit tricky.

But I still picked up the Night Starfire and made preparations in advance.

However, Di Xi did not seem to be in a position to attack. Instead, he put away the knife and turned around.

"...Di, Di Xi, is that you?" Aleto asked with trembling voice. Perhaps, she still couldn't believe that the ashes of the soul could escape from the soul-summoning bell by itself.

Di Xi squatted down, opened his arms, and gently held his mother in his arms.

“······Child, my child······I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it was obviously my job to protect you, I’m sorry······My Dixi, my good child.” Aleto couldn’t help but bury his head in the arms of his daughter’s ghost, his voice trembling as he cried bitterly.

Di Xi, who had turned into ashes, was unable to say anything and could only pat her back gently.

For a moment, Adura and I could only stand aside, staring at each other in confusion.

Jingle bell bell~

After a long time, the sound of bells was heard again in the wind.

The soul-summoning bell was already in Dixi's hand, and Aletto held her hand tightly, asking in a panic: "Dixi, my child, are you really going to leave?"

Di Xi said nothing, but just turned his head towards me.

And I also had a face full of question marks.

“Although Mom did feel a little sorry for that man just now, but...but, he is from Kalia. If he betrays us like that princess..."

Before she could finish, Di Xi shook his head.

She pulled her hands away from Aleto, took the bell, stood up, walked towards me unexpectedly, and then handed the bell back to me.

"Dici!" Aleto couldn't help calling out again, "Will you come back again, my child?"

Di Xi turned his head.

I also took the initiative to help respond: "I will come back, for sure. I will bring a stronger sister Di Xi back to see you, 'Head of the Black Sword' Aleto."

“...Okay, fine.” Aleto was still reluctant to leave, but also somewhat helpless. “Since Di Xi is willing to choose you to redeem our sins, Man of No Light, my daughter, I’ll leave it to you.”
