Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

whoosh-

The explosion that broke through the air was like a cannonball, exploding a large snow-white hydrangea in front of my eyes.

"The entire army retreats and finds a place to hide!" I hurriedly gave the order, looking worriedly at the snow mist rising from the explosion.

Fortunately, two figures quickly withdrew from there. They were Paris and his furnace companion who had caught up with them.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

——It is worthy of being called the Tough Dog Furnace. If our Ah Tui’s small body had been hit by such a cannonball-like impact, he would have been directly taken off and fell off the high cliff in the snowy field.

But now, how should we deal with the number one sniper in the Elden Ring?

This heavenly road in the snowy area seems longer than in the game, estimated to be hundreds of meters or even kilometers long.

The range of the magic stone colossus on the opposite side is even longer than in the game.

After all, when I first saw it, I was riding the Torrett for a walk, admiring the ethereal and vast snowfield scenery on both sides of the Sky Road, and then I was shot by an RPG (rocket-propelled howitzer) halfway through.

But now, this guy's shooting range actually covers the entire Sky Road.

This long road, built with huge square bricks and connecting the high cliffs on both sides, is completely uncovered. It is about ten meters wide and there is not much space to hide.

As a convoy carrying prisoners, it was naturally impossible to move quickly.

Then, the only option left was for the light cavalry to break through.

It’s too risky to just force it, so, let’s start the experiment!

I glanced at Torret, and he let out a soft cry, as if he was sighing softly, but he still kicked off his hooves and galloped straight towards the Heavenly Road.

whoosh-

The sniper began his bombardment.

But an arrow once again stirred up a cloud of frost and snow.

But the next second, Torrett's figure emerged from the snow and fog, and even sped up to rush forward.

"Well done, Torret!" I couldn't help but shout with my fist.

whoosh-

Another arrow.

Torrett made two deft jumps and jumped out directly from the snow and fog.

In the blink of an eye, we have already run half the distance. If Torret can succeed, then I should be able to rush forward like in the game and defeat the Sniper God Demon Stone Colossus...

whoosh-

Another arrow.

But the arrow exploded in front of Torret, forcing it to slow down.

In the moment when the speed slowed down, the Sniper God's bow had already locked onto the spirit horse, and then he shot another arrow, causing Laotuo to fly directly out of the Heavenly Road.

——Is this guy's attack speed faster than in the game?! Or did he prepare a second arrow in advance?

"Toret——"

I can only say that thanks to the spirit horse, Torret turned into a dissipating faint light and returned to my spirit whistle ring in the blink of an eye.

If I summon it again, it will cost me a bottle of Red Dew Drops.

But even if Torrett broke through alone, he couldn't get through this sniper god's road. The other horses might have been in trouble when the second arrow was fired. After all, they don't know the power of double jump.

——What should I do?

"It seems that we can only wait until after dark to see if there is any possibility of a turnaround." Nefeli suggested to me.

······

it's dark.

However, because the snowfield was too close to the golden tree, the white snow even reflected the glow in the sky, making the entire road to heaven more clearly visible.

This once again leaves people at a loss as to what to do.

"How about we split into two or more light cavalry units and charge forward?" Nefeli came up with another idea. "After all, there is only one stone statue on the opposite side. Let the most flexible Torret lead the charge, and the rest of the light cavalry will set out at a distance to distract its attention and break through?"

——Wow, Nene has quite a lot of tactical ideas now.

I'm afraid that after experiencing the Battle of Lienia, she is no longer the innocent warrior who can set up a formation to fight against flying dragons in open terrain, and has been corrupted by knowledge.

I pondered the tactical possibilities.

But Paris has already raised an objection: "This is too risky. After the enemy has dealt with Torret, they will still have time to deal with the next cavalry. We don't have enough people to sustain such a loss of troops."

Paris's considerations are more comprehensive.

“Hahaha! Then I’ll use my iron fist to smash the arrows and rush right through!” Alexander clenched his fists.

——Brother Hu, it turns out that you have stolen Nepheli’s innocent warrior character!

——The strong wind over there is cooler, why don’t you go sit over there for a while.

Since we can't break through from the front, what should we do...

"Everyone, I do have a plan." At this time, the "Rogue Magician" Weheler stood up.

At the same time, I came up with an idea: "Oh, Master Weihler! I was just thinking of discussing with you whether we can use night magic to come up with a solution!"

The other party couldn't help but smile: "As expected of General Zero... I did think of a magic called 'Transformation'. This is a spell that the assassins of Ceria specialize in. It can blend people into the darkness. Perhaps it can be used to deal with the magic stone giant. But..."

"But what?"

"The spell lasts about half a minute. That means even if it can really conceal our tracks, it can only last about halfway along this long snowy mountain trail."

"No, this is enough!" I pointed to the Heavenly Road confidently, "There should be a place where we can hide almost in the middle. When the time comes, we can use some magic to get through!"

Phew——

Torrett also hummed softly, indicating that he had seen the same location just now.

"That's great." Weihele nodded, "But I'm afraid General Ling will have to take me to a hidden location."

"I'll go too." Nefeli stood up.

I shook my head. "No, if something really happens to me, Nefeli, you will have to lead this team. This is one of the reasons why I asked Mr. Mongert to invite you to join."

Nepheli looked at me with a frown.

"Don't worry, Torrett and I are old partners. No matter what, we will find a way to deal with it." I said with a smile.

And Torrett also neighed his horse to show his agreement.

"Lord Zero, I beg you to allow me and Fenlig to travel with you." At this moment, a silver shadow emerged from the body of the White Wolf King, transforming into a dignified and elegant woman.

"Letina." I thought about it carefully. Fenlig's speed is comparable to Torret's, and his jumping ability is equivalent to Torret's double jump. In addition, the Son of Platinum is very good at controlling wolves, so it is a good combination.

The only drawback is that it is too big and easy to be targeted.

And Letina continued: "Master Weihele can also come with us, so that at least he can keep up with Torret and better deal with emergencies."

——Since the other party has considered this step.

I nodded: "······Then I'll leave it to you."

Soon, the "Rogue Magician" Weihele cast the night spell "turn invisible" on me, Letina, and our respective mounts, and we carefully set out on the road to heaven.

After running for dozens of meters, the magic stone giant showed no reaction at all!

--very good!

We moved forward quietly all the way and soon arrived at a hidden place near the halfway point. The snow ridge on this side was relatively wide, so those square-shaped boulders became the best cover.

Wehler once again helped us use the "Become Invisible" skill. Next, we just need to rush through half the distance and we'll be done!

whoosh-

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air!

Then there was an explosion behind us.

Fortunately, Torrett and Fenlig were fast enough and moved away from the range of the explosion.

——But, our whereabouts were discovered? Why?!

"Master, is the magic no longer effective?" I asked loudly, not daring to stop.

"...No." Weihele made a quick judgment, "It's Xueying!"

"Snow Shadow?"

——······Oh, does it mean the snow kicked up by the horse's hooves? !

Before, they were not discovered because the distance was too far and it was night, but now that they were only about a quarter of the distance away, that guy noticed them!

——By the way, brother, your eyesight is so good, how can you see this clearly?

whoosh-

Then another arrow exploded right under our feet.

Fortunately, Torrett and Fenlig jumped high enough and avoided the impact. It was a close call.

——But the next arrow might cause us to repeat the same mistake as Torrett!

"Lord Zero! You and Lord Torrett should go at full speed!" Letina said suddenly. She actually ordered the wolf king Fenlig to slow down, and deliberately used her claws to dig the snow on the long road.

whoosh-

Another arrow shot straight at them.

——Firepower attraction?

"Torret, please, charge at full speed!" I yelled, and the cold wind cut across my cheeks like a knife.

whoosh-

The fourth arrow!

The flying snow that was stirred up completely merged into the snow mist that Fenlig had shoveled out, and also stopped the flying white snow.

But it was also at this time that Torret and I had already rushed through this long road!

——Hey, stinky stone statue, your grandpa Ah Tui is here!
