Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Burning blood, unhealable wounds, in order to expel us, the people from the Golden Dynasty, the Fire Giant has sacrificed everything of himself to the fire of the evil god, fighting until the last moment when his blood is exhausted.

Win without fighting.

The strategy that Yushlo Samir proposed was a little beyond my expectations.

But it is indeed the best way to deal with the Fire Giants at the moment, and we don't even need to spend any more soldiers.

With this in mind, I loudly ordered everyone in the battle: "The entire army should retreat first! Furnaces, and Alexander, please help cover the evacuation!"

Upon hearing what I said, everyone followed my instructions and retreated to the edge of the Giant Snow Ridge in an orderly manner.

Paris was left to lead his companions, and Alexander, who had extremely high fire resistance, also maintained a defensive stance against the fire giant, using the Canopy Furnace's combat skill "Silurian Vortex" to further restrain the opponent.

"Zero, what's wrong?" Nefeli asked after she retreated.

Each of them was burned to ashes, their clothes and armor were all tattered, and there was even a faint flame burning on the hat of "White Wolf War Ghost" Bagram.

I gave Yushulo a look, and he repeated to everyone the exchange of the Fire Giant and the Evil God's Fire for power, as well as the price.

"... In other words, we do nothing now, and just wait until that guy is exhausted, then everything will be over?" Nefeli summarized.

Yushulo nodded and added: "Moreover, the giants have not received the blessing of your Queen Marica, so he cannot absorb runes from the grace of the Golden Tree to recover his injuries and strength. It will take less than half a day for the giant's blood to run out and he will fall down."

After hearing what Yushuluo said, everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Facing everyone's silence, I asked tentatively: "What's wrong?"

"······If there is only half a day left, it seems we have to hurry up." Nefeli said something that sounded incoherent.

"Nefeli, do you still want to fight?" I guessed her intention.

"Well, I'm sorry, Zero." Nepheli casually carried a battle axe on her shoulder. The golden lightning not only danced on the axe blade, but also sparkled in her eyes. "Since the opponent has risked his life to fight, then as a warrior, there is no reason not to respond. As for other things, I can't think as much as you do, so let me pick the fruits of victory for you."

After saying that, Nepheli turned around and rushed towards the fire giant with big strides.

——······Sure enough, this is Nepheli. Our wild boar princess doesn’t care about any tricks of waiting for the opponent to tire themselves out. All she has eyes for is fighting.

"I also think what Nefeli said is right." Laya made the same choice as Nefeli as soon as she spoke. "Although, although I can't explain why, I always feel that the roar of that giant is always full of sadness... Maybe he is also the last of his clan, so I want to respond to him with a battle."

"After all, everyone is fighting for their own beliefs. Since we speak different languages, we can only feel each other's obsession through mutual collision." The old-school Round Table magician, Wehler, continued following Laya's words.

It seems that they all chose the same answer.

I couldn't help but sigh: "The outcome is clearly clear, but why make it so complicated... Well, okay! But like I've always said, I don't want anyone to fall here. If you are injured, retreat immediately, and don't try to be brave. Under this premise, fight with all your might, extinguish the endless flame, and bring rest to the giant!"

"Oh!"

Everyone responded to my command in unison.

Even Yushulo, who proposed that idea, shook his head, but also chose to join our team: "There's really nothing we can do about you, but you have to remember that we, Samir, are the mortal enemies of the giants. I will take in the descendants of the giants!"

Let's consider this as the end of the halftime break. I summoned Torret and led everyone again to charge towards the fire giant.

"Ho-ho-ho!"

I saw that the big mouth in the giant's belly, like a fish, spit out red bubbles one after another, floating around him.

Balls of evil flames kept chasing the locked enemies, expanding and then exploding, spreading the flames in all directions.

Not only that, his hands, which were burning with flames, were like two cannons, constantly releasing huge fireballs, blasting ice and snow all over the snowy ridge and burning rotten wood.

"As usual, we will spread out and surround the giant, and try to attack from behind him, but be careful of his rolling and large-scale fire attacks!" After I gave the order loudly, I pulled the reins and urged Torrett to go around behind the fire giant while he didn't notice us. "Let's go!"

Phew——

Torret responded to me immediately, and the spirit horse galloped. While the fire giant was waving his fists and hammering, hitting and grabbing the others, we had quickly circled behind him.

——Since blood will ignite flames once it gets on your body, use the wind to build a barrier for yourself and then attack!

The moment I got close to the fire giant's thigh, I suddenly leaped up from Torret's back. The hurricane wrapped my whole body. The blade was swung as the wind blew, from top to bottom, and I chopped directly from the root of the fire giant's thigh to his knee.

The fire giant roared angrily.

The blood that splattered from him was blown away by the wind, fell on the snowfield, and turned into flames.

As soon as I landed, two floating evil fireballs flew towards me.

The Night Starfire converted into magic output, and the blue pyroxene on the hilt lit up. As I swung it, it emitted a series of icy blades, called the Fire of the Evil God, which exploded ahead of time.

The next second, another huge black shadow came over.

This was because Nepheli and the others had found a way to get close to the Fire Giant's body, forcing him to roll over and adjust his position in order to launch a new attack.

Combat skill - hound step.

I quickly pulled away.

As the fire giant had more and more wounds on his body, and he was unable to heal, this violent roll caused sporadic blood to spill.

It accidentally fell on my shoulder and set my clothes on fire.

I quickly took out my dagger and tore off the entire sleeve.

It seems that if I don’t deal with this guy, I will become a useless person again, with no clothes to wear!

"Hoohoho-"

The fire giant was still roaring, but just as Laya said, I seemed to feel a hint of unwillingness in that voice, a hint of sadness of having no one to rely on, left alone in the snow and ice.

Maybe this guy is not here to completely stop us from getting close to the flaming cauldron.

It's just that for too long, he was the only giant living in a world that didn't like him. Not to mention his relatives and friends, even people he could talk to had disappeared.

Such a lonely life, so long that life is just a torture to him, so he will sacrifice himself without hesitation in exchange for strength for the final fight with us.

"Hoohoho-"

The giant roared loudly, and the red hair on his body actually ignited flames. The wounds no longer bleed, but flames burnt directly from within.

The entire giant was completely engulfed in flames; even his original pupils were replaced by a blazing red.

He has completely become the synonym of fire!

I couldn't help but complain in my heart:

——Damn, it’s already this late, can we still change the stage?!
