Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

It is a new day again, the weather is sunny and the sky is cloudless. The golden tree, as always, is spreading its brilliant light towards the border.

It's great weather to go out and play.

It's such a nice day, why don't you give me the pyroxene magic wand in your hand! Old nobleman.

“Ah! Ah!”

In Nimgefu, on the high cliff to the right before the Sacrifice Bridge, I was playing tug-of-war with a powerful magician on the balcony of a ruin with his staff.

"Who can understand what you are saying? Don't be stingy. At most you can sell it to me for a hundred Runes, no more!" This old guy was very strong. I pulled him to the ground, but he still held on to his magic wand.

"Someone come quickly! The Faded Ones are bullying the old magician!" At this time, the other Grek soldiers stationed nearby discovered me and rushed over with straight swords and pickaxes in hand.

The sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of horns.

No, isn't it just a staff? Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?

I go!

A fluorescent blue spell came straight at me and almost hit my head.

On the opposite ruins building, another powerful magician also noticed the situation here and started his pyroxene sniping.

It’s a quick win!

I held the magic wand in one hand and quickly took out the straight sword with the other hand, and hit the old nobleman's hand with it from the side.

The old noble was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, but I kicked him in the face and he fell to the ground.

"If you had been more polite earlier, you wouldn't have gotten kicked. Let's go!" After completing the task assigned by Teacher Se Lian, I blew the spiritual whistle, summoned Torrett, and ran towards the eastern cliff before the soldiers arrived.

The Grek soldiers were so angry that they stomped their feet behind him: "You bastard Fader, don't let us see you again."

Well, all I can say is don't worry.

There is a treasure chest in your camp that I haven't taken yet. I was just passing by today and will come back to play next time.

Walking down the slope of the mountain, we passed another open-air cemetery.

There were three or four neatly arranged rows of tombs, but the stone slabs on top had almost been pried open, or pushed away.

After all, in the setting, these stone tombs are buried with people like me who were exiled to the Fog of the Wasteland. They were re-summoned by Queen Marika, the "Eternal Queen", and then they were awakened and crawled out of the tombs.

Today, some golden runes are left on these long-empty tombs, shining brightly.

I searched the surrounding area and continued on my way.

Hyde Fortress can already be seen.

Continue down the hillside and cross a coastal beach, and you will find a streak of golden light floating in a corner outside the city.

After I went to light up the blessing point, I carefully walked along the cliff to Hyde Fortress.

Strangely, Hyde Fortress is unusually quiet today.

After all, Brother Wolf mentioned before that something happened in Hyde Fortress, which caused the entire fog forest to become restless.

As for what happened -

In the game, Hyde Fortress is occupied by a cursed knight captain, who, like the "Blood Fingers", worships blood. He drove out the original owner of the fortress, Kenneth Hyde, and even killed a demi-human queen under the jurisdiction of the fortress, leading to a demi-human riot in the entire area.

But now it is sunny and there is no chaos at all.

Ah, of course it's not that I'm afraid of chaos in the world, but there is a crossbow mounted on the high wall of the fortress. Without the little Asians to attract fire, even if you ride on a Torret, you will be shot into a hornet's nest if you are not careful.

Could it be that someone has solved the fortress problem before me?

I carefully poked my head out from behind the sheltering rock.

Several rows of wooden roadblocks were set up in the narrow passage at the entrance of Hyde Fortress to prevent riots.

Inside, there was indeed a crossbow machine on the terrace of the side wall, and a soldier behind it was sitting on the ground, eating something leisurely.

——You can’t tell the truth just by looking at it, so let’s go and confirm it.

So, I mustered my courage, walked out from behind the rock wall, waved my hands and shouted to the soldiers on the platform: "Hey - can you hear me? I'm here to investigate the Faded Ones on behalf of Lord Kenneth Hyde! Hey -"

The soldier heard my call and stood up hastily.

Ok?

Something's wrong. What is this guy doing? Is he aiming his crossbow at me?

whoosh-

In an instant, several crossbow arrows flew towards me.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and retreated behind the rock wall.

OK, OK, is this how you treat your guests? Don't blame me for kicking you in the ass later.

But how do I get in?

I looked around.

Hyde Fortress, like the main city of Morn, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, but the remaining side faces the Misty Forest.

Moreover, there seemed to be a petite figure flashing in the misty forest.

An idea suddenly came to my mind.

chirp——

I blew the spirit whistle and summoned the spirit horse: "Toret, let's go!"

Torrett also understood what I meant and took me into the foggy forest.

Let me look for it, let me look for it...

"Gah!"

Yes, but relying on just these four or five demi-humans is not enough to break through the fortress.

There should be something even more awesome...

Oh, found it!

I grabbed Torret and shouted to the huge figure walking leisurely in the misty forest: "Hey, big stupid bear! I'm here!"

"Roar?"

"Come and chase me if you can!"

"Roar--"

As expected of Rune Bear, he rushed over without saying any more nonsense.

"Torret, run!"

"Whoosh——" Torrett quickly turned around and ran away.

Along the way, I ran into the little demi-humans who were chasing me just now.

I kindly reminded him: "Hurry up and run, or you'll become a rice field!"

"Gah?"

"Roar--"

"Gah-"

The Asian people were also frightened and fled in all directions.

But Brother Bear, you are a little biased, you don't even look at them, but insist on chasing me. I don't have a certain brand of syrup.

——Although it was indeed me who provoked you, and it would be troublesome if you lost me.

In the blink of an eye, they were chased out of the foggy forest.

As expected, there is no range limit in the real world, and Big Bear is still chasing closely.

"Come on, charge towards Hyde Fortress!" Driving the Torret, I used a double jump without hesitation to climb over the rows of roadblocks at the entrance.

And Big Bear was like a bulldozer, easily overturning a whole row of wooden barriers with one arm.

Perhaps because he was frightened, the Hyde soldier on the high platform forgot to load the crossbow into the crossbow machine, and was in a panic, shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, a group of soldiers in armor rushed out, followed by a pumpkin-headed soldier holding a flail.

but--

"You're welcome to accept this great gift." I drove the Torrett and made another double jump, flying over their heads.

Then, the brutal and ferocious Rune bear slapped the dazed soldier and sent him flying with one slap.

"Roar--"

"Wow ah ah-"

"What kind of guy actually brought the Rune Bear here!"

Great response, guys, keep it up!

Watching Big Bear turning the world upside down in the small courtyard of Hyde Fortress, the soldiers had no time to control me, so I ran into the fortress gate.
