Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the "Dead Sleeping Girl" Fia still lying on the stone bed like Sleeping Beauty.

I raised my body and met Roger's smiling eyes. "Oh, you woke up too, Zero. What did the Princess of Death say to you in the end?"

"Huh? Didn't you listen?"

"Not long after you rescued me, the dream world collapsed, and then I woke up." Roger said honestly.

······Having said that, it seemed that after halfway through, I really didn’t hear this kid talk.

I briefly summarized what Fia said to me: "Fia said that the door we saw seemed to control the reincarnation of life and death in the border area, but it was sealed from the inside by Queen Marica... So, in order to open the door, we must first find the destined death, the power that controls the power of [death] in the border area."

"So...that's how it is." At this time, Lance Shanks also woke up and happened to hear our conversation.

But she seemed to be struggling even more than in the dream. Her thin dragon body was entangled by several black thorns. Like a butterfly trying to crawl out of a cocoon, she flapped her wings vigorously several times before she was able to tear the black thorns apart.

Lance Sanx stood up, panting. "Zero, you said in that dream that you wanted to go to Fam Azra, was it also for this matter?"

I nodded. "Malika's shadow beast, who defeated the goddess with the night-colored eyes personally and sealed the black sword Malicas, which is destined to die, is deep in Fam Azra. In addition...Bennar the Mad Flame has already gone there on the giant flame of the snow mountain. I must stop him."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Lance Shanks said, turned around, spread his wings, and prepared to fly out of the audience place.

But unexpectedly, after flying less than five meters, she suddenly lost her strength and fell heavily to the ground.

"Lance Shanks!" I hurried over and helped her up.

"I'm fine." Lance Shanks said, but her wings had already been eroded by death, riddled with holes from black thorns and in tatters.

I also understood the reason why Fia hesitated in the dream, so I could only say to her, "Don't be so stubborn, Lance Shanks."

"But, but even for For... me, I must send you there." Lance Shanks finally finished his words, his head tilted, and he fainted again.

"Lance Shanks!"

Shiryuya and Roger also rushed over to check the situation.

As if checking Lance Shanks's pulse, Shiryuya said, "Master Zero, don't worry. Lance Shanks has just lost too much energy and needs to rest for a while. Her injuries can still be healed."

"how long it takes?"

"That...it's hard for me to say. It could be as short as ten days or as long as a month. Also, this is just my estimate of when Lance Shanks can wake up. It may take even longer for the eroded wounds on his body to heal."

More than a month? In that amount of time, Bernal might have already defeated Malikus and returned to the tree to deal with Radagon and the Beast of Elden.

I suddenly remembered the other dragon in my dream: "By the way, where is Furshanks? Didn't he wake up?"

Roger sighed and said, "It is impossible for Fulshanks to wake up, Zero. Don't you know that in order to delay Godwin's death, he destroyed his own body so that his soul could survive in that land of death? Therefore, it is unlikely that Lanceshanks would share the curse on Fulshanks and revive him."

"This... I really didn't expect so much." After hearing Roger's words, I was even more confused.

——I didn't expect that all the work on this side was in vain? In the end, Plan B also fell through.

Sighing, I brought Lance Shanks to the blessing point outside the audience place. Although the blessing point can speed up the recovery of us faded ones, the effect does not seem to be very obvious for the ancient dragons.

——But it counts as a little, let Lance Shanks recover as soon as possible.

"Then it seems that we can only go to the Fourth Bell Tower." I was thinking about how to get there as quickly as possible, and my eyes involuntarily looked towards the huge waterfall outside this nameless eternal city.

If I remember correctly, there should be a sarcophagus here that leads directly to the Ansel River Basin in Lienia.

"Roger, and Silia." I called the two of them. "To be honest, the golden tree outside has been ignited by the giant's flames, and Rodel is almost empty now. I'm a little worried that the Mad Fire One will come here to cause trouble in advance. Can you send a few people to guard the throne of King Elden... If you want to repair the magic circle and realize the law, you have to go there."

"I'll arrange it." Shiryuya nodded.

Roger asked: "So, Zero, what about you?"

"I have to think of another way quickly, to go to Fam Azra." After that, I blew the whistle, "Toret, let's go!"

Phew——

At the mouth of the river outside the Nameless Eternal City, I indeed found a complete sarcophagus with magic runes. I got in, and after a long period of swaying from side to side, the underground river brought me to the Ansel River Basin... Looking around here, it was the place I arrived at through the portal of Rena's Magician Tower in the Lani branch.

From here, through the anthill, you can find another Uru Dynasty.

The remains of Esti hanging here have been cleared away by someone, probably by Roger and "Hunting Death" D.

According to the memory in the game, I drove the Torret all the way. After a while, I found the exit of the well, took the elevator up, and returned to the east coast border of Lienia.

The bright red fallen leaves like sparkling butterflies have floated here. Looking up, I saw that even the trunk of the golden tree had turned red.

The fire is burning fiercely.

Gotta hurry up.

I travelled non-stop, staying up all night, towards Rhea Lukalia.

I should be able to find Lani's pyroxene dragon Adura there, and then have it take me to the Fourth Bell Tower, and teleport together to the ruins on the edge of Fam Azra, and then fly into the city in the sky.

It took about three or two days to arrive at the Magic Academy.

"Brother Zero, long time no see! Judging from the appearance of the golden tree, your plan should have been successful." Latan is still in charge of the academy.

After all, the large number of refugees from Rodel has recently made Rhea Lukalia a lot noisy, and it is not easy to manage them relying solely on that group of old scholars and the queen who is still insane.

Most of these refugees looked at the sacred golden tree with worry, praying that they could return to Rodel one day.

"Brother Latan, do you know where Yadula is?" I didn't find the dragon in the academy.

Iggy said, "The flying dragon seems to have built a nest in the water pool near the academy. I will find someone to call it over now."

"Well, please."

"You look pretty bad, brother Zero. What happened?" Latan asked with concern.

"Actually..." I briefly told Iggy and Latan what happened in the snowfield, and said goodbye, and asked, "By the way, is Mr. Mongget here?"

"If you're talking about the Blessed King, I don't think I saw him in the refugee team." Latan recalled briefly.

——Mr. Mongert didn't come? Then where would he be... He wouldn't still be guarding the throne of King Elden.

"But, after hearing what you said, it seems that something is really wrong. If the Destined Death is taken away by the Mad Fire, the world will be completely destroyed." Latan turned to Iggy and asked, "Should we also send some people to guard the now empty city of Rodel?"

"...If it's possible, that would be great. However, I think Mr. Mungert should also be prepared."

"Roar——" At this time, Yadula flew over.

Time was running out, so I quickly boarded the flying dragon and flew towards the Fourth Bell Tower.

Latan also followed.

The flying dragon soared through the clouds and in a blink of an eye, brought us to the Four Bell Towers on the west bank of Lienia.

But when I found the magic portal leading to Fam Azra, I discovered that the door had already been destroyed.

Crack crack crack——

The sound of sparks burning began to dance in my heart again.
