Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

As I walked into the interior of Hyde Fortress, I was attracted by the huge remains of the demi-human queen.

Obviously, she had been dead for many days, her whole body was dried by the sun, and even the stench of decay was much reduced.

boom--

I go!

Suddenly, a flame pot exploded next to me, and the scorching flames scared me so much that I quickly dodged to the side.

Hu Ge?!

Oh, no, it’s the Touhu Brother!

In my peripheral vision, a black shadow climbed onto the body of the demi-human queen and then pounced towards me.

When I turned around, I was met with a fat, pointed face, and the bad breath almost made me faint.

Go away!

I quickly kicked the big rat away.

——The shameful and disgusting stinky creature in the French Circle. A mouse can be as big as a dog. It is really over-nourished. No wonder there seems to be no cats.

This guy is so persistent and still wants to come over.

I'll give you another sword, you disgusting thing!

boom--

Come again?

I rolled out of the fortress, temporarily avoiding the limelight of the tossing pot man, and took two gulps of the holy grail bottle to recover.

"Roar!"

I glanced at the bottom of the fortress stairs and saw that Brother Bear was still helping me delay the soldiers from returning to defend the city.

Moreover, several small Asians have also joined the team. Did they take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and cause a riot?

Then I have to work hard too!

When we walked into the fortress again, the commotion just now had attracted more guys. They even released the big rats they had raised and rushed over.

But, you all stood next to the red powder keg, so don’t blame me!

Taking out a flame pot, I took the lead and smashed it towards the people on the platform in the square.

boom!

Boom boom boom——

Art is an explosion!

The flame pot detonated the gunpowder barrel, causing a series of explosions. Several golden runes floated out of the diffuse black smoke and merged into my body.

Hahahaha, you can aim at the gunpowder barrel without locking on.

In this regard, the real world of the Ring of Legends is much more convenient than in the game. I suggest that Miyazaki add a locking setting for this type of props that can be triggered for use in the DLC.

However, I don't know why they put so many gunpowder barrels around them. There are even several on the stairs.

In the game, the trap was set for the newcomer, A-Ti, and it really scared me to death at that time.

In reality, is it to trade with others? For example, the people of the Blood Dynasty?

It's just that I happened to see it.

...Well, now is not the time to think about all this nonsense.

While the smoke from the explosion obscured the vision of the guards on high ground, I quickly crossed the small square and climbed up the stairs.

The entire Hyde Fortress is roughly divided into three layers: the ground floor square and high platform, the inner platform connected to the crossbow terrace, and the large platform of the tower. Of course, there is also a high tower on the large platform, and the treasure chest on it contains half of the activation symbol of the Dekodas Grand Elevator leading to the Attan Plateau.

He took out the Gurkha knife that he had prepared long ago and gave each of the two remaining pitching pot guards a headlock.

I always feel that my throwing skills and accuracy are getting better and better - from being able to only hunt rabbits quietly in the beginning, to now being able to hit the enemy's vital points at will even while moving, as long as the distance is not too far.

I remember Melina said that agility can improve observation and dexterity, that is, the improvement of eyes and thinking. My throwing ability is getting better and better, which may also be related to my upgrade points.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I stopped my steps and headed for the third floor. I turned around and headed for the outer terrace of the second floor of the fortress. As promised before, I gave the soldier who was operating the crossbow machine a hard kick and kicked him down to join the battlefield.

Hey, you’re welcome.

I clapped my hands. All obstacles in the fortress were cleared. The next step was to fight the source of the trouble.

After taking a breath and taking a short rest, I walked up the stairs and reached the platform on the last floor.

"Ha~ha~ What beautiful blood, what a beautiful color." I saw the knight captain in golden armor carefully cultivating several bright red roses in a corner of the building.

And what he was pouring in his hands was actually a bucket of blood!

——Could it be that this guy ordered the murder of the demi-human queen just for her blood?

"As long as some time passes, I will be able to take you to the Blood Dynasty to meet our king! Ahahaha~ Darlings, grow up quickly~ Darlings, grow up quickly~"

Hiss... What a pervert. He actually hummed a weird song and didn't even notice the commotion inside and outside the fortress?

"...Oh, it's all used up." The knight captain stood up suddenly. "Wait a little longer, dears. I'll get another bucket right away."

He turned around and met my gaze before I could even look away.

“Hey.” Well, I had no intention of hiding. After all, my ultimate target was this guy, so I took the initiative to greet him. “I don’t really understand, but if you give flowers too much fertilizer, they will wither.”

The knight's eyes under the helmet suddenly became sharp: "Oh, really? But, to be honest, I am also wondering if there is something wrong with my cultivation method."

"Well then, wake up and put an end to this farce."

But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, this guy dropped the barrel, drew out his sword without hesitation, and attacked me from a distance.

The blood, with the momentum of the fierce slash, turned into a huge blade and flew towards me.

Combat skill - blood slash.

Even one move was not enough, he raised his hand and used the cassock to cut.

The small wooden shield alone could not protect against the blood knight's slashing attack. Even if it was blocked, a piercing pain would still be felt in the arm, as if the knife had cut directly into the bone.

In addition, the cumulative bleeding effect of Blood Slash is very high. I estimate that after a few hits, my body will not be able to bear it and will suffer serious bleeding and injury.

——At least that’s the case in the game.

"Ahahaha! How is it? How is it? I am my newfound power! Invincible and unstoppable!" Moreover, this Blood Knight is too crazy. Is his Blood Slash a passive skill? How can he use it all the time? "The blood of that queen is no longer effective. I will use your fresh blood to nourish my babies and help them grow up!"

A complete lunatic.

Okay, I won’t fight with you!

I tactfully rolled off the balcony and jumped directly down the stairs.

"Don't run! Fresh blood!" The Blood Knight chased after him without hesitation.

But, has your brain also been clogged by the blood? You can't see the powder keg on the stairs at all, right?

After I put some distance between me and the Blood Knight, I turned around and took advantage of the moment when the Blood Knight ran to a gunpowder barrel to throw the Flame Pot out of my hand.

boom!

Offer fireworks for your blood dynasty!

How about lines like this?

"what--"

Oh my god, you scared me! Why are you yelling so loudly?

"Not enough! Not enough!" The bloody knight who was blasted down the stairs to the bottom floor ignored the blazing fire on his body, stood up again, and continued to charge at me with a long sword in hand.

Hey, hey, hey, you crazy people from the Blood Dynasty, your willpower is too strong!

Nelius's fighting method was to exchange injuries for injuries, and he turned a blind eye to death.

Bloody slashes came one after another.

I'm too lazy to compete with a madman... Wow, the stairs are blown to pieces and it's not easy to go up. I'd better run to the square.

"No, don't run!"

"Why don't you stop chasing me!" I turned around and hit him with another flame pot.

This guy actually managed to hold on again, but his unsteady steps still exposed the severity of his injuries.

After jumping onto the flat ground, I turned around abruptly, put my sword at my side, and rushed towards the Blood Knight.

Fighting skills——Ready stance·Heavy attack·Imitation version!

Seeing that I wanted to engage in a head-on confrontation, the Blood Knight stood firm, gathered his strength, and then swung with all his might!

Combat skill——Blood slash!

At that moment, even a few of his fingers flew out, and the huge bloody blade came straight towards me.

But, the speed is too slow!

I leaned down to avoid the reverse cassock slash, then thrust my sword forward and stabbed, stabbed, stabbed...ah.

Before the straight sword touched the Blood Knight, he fell down on his own and didn't move anymore.

The runes gathered on my body, with a grayish-white glow.

It's the battle ash of the bloody slash, which means I can also apply it to weapons.

However, in the end, this guy was devoured by blood. I wanted to test whether my imitation of combat skills would work...

The blood slash utilizes one's own blood to launch a powerful attack. If used too much, of course the body will not be able to bear it.

It can only be said that it is self-inflicted.

Goodbye, poor fellow engulfed in blood. It's time to return the fortress to its rightful owner.
