Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

The Blazing Cannon flew directly towards me, forcing me to tumble backwards and jump down from the top of the tower ladder.

——Ouch!

After landing, my legs and feet felt numb as if several centipedes were quickly wrapping around me and climbing up.

The cannon fire from the Cyclops Greatshield caused the entire tower to shake slightly, and rubble and flying sand fell like hail and heavy rain.

——But do you think I would just get beaten?

When Arganti, the leader of the Flame Watchers, raised his shield and prepared to fire at me, I swung out the grappling hook in my hand, wrapped it around his exposed ankle, and then pulled hard as I landed.

That guy must have been caught off guard and is probably falling down in panic.

"what--"

——Look~

When he looked up, he saw not only the black shadow of Arganti falling down, but he let go of the one-eyed shield, and two balls of blazing red flames condensed in Arganti's palms.

I had a bad feeling and quickly ran out of the tower.

The opponent jumped to the ground like a frog, and slapped the ground with his palms filled with flames.

Prayer - Flame, consume everything!

Suddenly, pillars of flames gushed out from the ground like fountains.

Fortunately, I ran fast enough and got out of the opponent's prayer attack range.

Ah, the hook line was completely burned off.

There was flame in the doorway of the tower. Amidst the billowing black smoke, Arganti once again walked out slowly, holding the one-eyed shield in his hand.

In the sky, snow gradually fell, extinguishing the small flame burning on Agonti's body.

Under his golden mask, his red eyes sparkled as he kept muttering, "Flame is a power that even the Golden Dynasty craves for and fears. Thanks to you for telling me this information, General Zero... As long as I can wait for the supreme power of fire, the King of Blessing will not be a problem for me to fear."

It is not known whether this was Agonti's original ambition, or whether he had lost himself after being bewitched by the madness.

I swallowed my saliva involuntarily, and mentioned Night Starfire, saying, "The power of fire is indeed very powerful, and quite fascinating..."

"Right! You indeed know the charm of fire. Are you also a follower of fire?" the other party said with a smile.

“However, if one indulges himself in the flames and turns a blind eye to the dangers, one day, even those who serve the fire will be engulfed by the flames.” This is my final advice.

But it was obvious that Arganti did not appreciate it. He sneered: "Hahaha, hahaha - what did I think you were going to say? I am the Flame Watcher, the leader of this fortress, Arganti. In this world, I am the only one who understands flames the best, and I am the only one who can completely control flames!"

"I don't know where you get your confidence from, but since words are useless, just do it."

——After all, Dianhuo A Ling and Laya were still alone on the top of the tower.

——Although they were both tied up, Laya was still unconscious, while Dianhuo A Ling was awake. It was hard not to worry about what kind of trouble that guy would do again.

We have to fight quickly and decisively.

Thinking of this, I rushed forward quickly.

Arganti quickly pulled the cannon behind the Cyclops Shield, charged the rune magic, and loaded the cannon.

But just as the muzzle was burning red, I had already rushed in front of the opponent... This guy, won't he stop spitting fire from the one-eyed shield? If the artillery fire explodes in this range, it will also affect him!

Before I could think any more, the Flame Cannon had already escaped from the muzzle.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and rolled to the side, avoiding the artillery attack in time. Then, before the opponent could recharge his strength for the second time, I jumped up and slashed at Argonti.

when--

——What a hard shield, comparable to a turtle shell!

However, Agonti himself was bent over by the force of my blow, and then he pushed me out with force.

It might be difficult to break through from the front, so I have to find a way to get behind the opponent.

But now, I have no rune magic at all and cannot use the hound step, so I am afraid it will be more difficult.

Fortunately, apart from the fire spit balls on the big shield, Arganti should not have any other means of attack, and the power requirement of that big shield is also quite high, which means it is quite heavy.

It's not easy to turn around while carrying something heavy.

Taking these into consideration, corresponding countermeasures gradually took shape in my mind.

I rushed forward again, and Arganti changed his strategy. After all, he knew that if he didn't restrict my movements first, he would not be able to hit anyone with his fire spitballs.

Prayer - Flame, consume everything!

This time, he condensed a red flame with one hand and slapped it on the ground.

The power was halved and the range was reduced, but it was still enough to hinder my steps.

Once the red light appears at the place where I am standing, I have to quickly dodge to the side.

Taking this opportunity, Arganti reloaded the One-Eyed Shield, and the timing was almost perfect. Just as I dodged the attack of the pillar of fire rising from the ground and my feet had not yet touched the ground, the cannon exploded.

Damn it, I could only slide to my knees the moment I landed on the ground, and at the same time, lean my upper body backwards with all my strength, as if I fell directly to the ground, and only then did I avoid the attack.

Whoosh——

But unexpectedly, Agonti's attack was not over yet. A red light flashed in his other hand, and the flame turned into a whip, which hit me directly.

——Is this a revised version of Prayer——Flame, Entanglement?

Regardless of whether it was a revision or not, my waist was almost broken by the whip. Even Kalia's armor could not withstand it. The wound was burning with pain, and the remaining flames even burned around my waist.

Grit your teeth and stand up, otherwise the next artillery fire will come.

I glanced around and saw a lot of wooden boxes and pottery jars placed on the side of the building, and some dry firewood piled under a tent.

——It’s not easy to break through at close range, so we can only activate the furniture city area!

Seeing that Arganti was taking advantage of the distance to charge his cannon, I hurried over, picked up a jar, and threw it hard at the incoming fireball.

boom--

The artillery blew the pot into pieces in the air. It seemed that there was half a can of ice inside, which turned into rubble and flew around.

Then, I picked up the remaining jars and threw them directly at Agonti.

This guy, taking advantage of the big shield's defense, had no intention of dodging.

Then I will take this opportunity, the jars and pots will most likely block his vision, then, the attack after the third jar and pot will be from me!

I rushed forward quickly after the jar, and when Argonte saw me, he had no choice but to hold up his big shield to prepare for the attack.

I jumped up in one step, stepped on the one-eyed shield, then flipped forward, flew over Arganti's head, and landed steadily behind him.

Sure enough, the one-eyed shield was too heavy, so Agonti was unable to turn around immediately with it to block my attack.

Iai - diagonal slash.

Suddenly, bright red blood splashed along with the flying snow.

Arganti was furious. As he grabbed the Cyclops Shield with both hands, the rune magic had already loaded the cannon with fire.

I retreated to the corner of the wall, grabbed a sack of something in the corner, and threw it over like I used the jar to block the artillery.

boom--

This throw actually created a huge, blinding fire that almost covered half of the city wall.

The bright red petals, with flames, fell with the flying snow.

——So what’s inside is the fire flower unique to the Snow Region?

But no matter what, now is a great opportunity! The raging fire covered our figures. I picked up a small wooden box next to me and smashed it to the left, while my people quickly went around from the right.

Although the flames just now could not hurt Argonte much, the sudden ignition of the huge flames must have forced him to hide behind the one-eyed shield, and then observe the situation through the narrow vision of the one eye on the shield.

Make noise in the east and attack in the west.

When I rushed out of the fire, the guy was still there. He turned around and looked alertly in the direction of the noise I made with the wooden box.

When he saw that he had fallen into a trap, Agonti realized that he did not have time to turn his shield to block, so he could only ignite a red flame in his left hand and prepare to pray.

——But it’s too late!

My whole body turned into a sharp blade light, like lightning, and I stabbed forward with a sword, directly piercing through Agonti's body from the side.

“Is it because of your identity as a watcher? You were distracted too much by the flames and didn’t even realize you had to move back at this time, nor did you notice the approaching danger.” I pulled out the Night Starfire coldly.

Suddenly, blood gushed out from the bloody holes in Agonti's body.

With a bang, the one-eyed man's shield fell to the ground. His strength had already flowed away with the blood, and his body staggered backwards.

“Flames…” Argonti lost his mind. The flames on his left arm began to devour his arm uncontrollably. “Ahem…why? Why is my flame so cold?”

Suddenly he was tripped by a stone and fell out from the broken part of the city wall, and outside was the scaffolding of his hands and feet that had been blown off before.

I hurried forward, but all I could see was a ball of fire falling into the bottomless abyss.
