Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Ever since Se Lian and I parted ways on bad terms, she has been staying in the Origin classroom, continuing her research and preparations.

As expected, City Lord Jerlian arrived at Rhea Lukalia College in the evening of the next day.

The duel between the witch and the hunter was scheduled for noon the next day in the small square in front of the main entrance of Rhea Lukalia College.

This battle naturally attracted a lot of attention, and many magicians ran to the outside of the academy early and occupied a good position. Latan and Iggy, as the agents of the "Full Moon Queen", also arrived at the scene.

Everyone was talking about it.

Although origin magic is considered a taboo by the world, for those who have been exploring magic all their lives, it is just a subject, a branch of magic.

Moreover, after the two masters returned, the magical power they displayed was indeed far beyond everyone's imagination, making this taboo even more eye-catching and tempting to explore.

This battle, whether it is the beginning of the revival of Origin Magic or its complete end, is more important to them than the survival of the border area.

The city lord, Jie Lian, had sharpened his sword long before noon, and placed it on the square, with his arms folded across his chest, waiting for Se Lian's arrival.

The teacher, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. She waited until she reached the academy and only walked slowly to the square after the noon bell rang.

Seeing Jie Lian's serious look, she couldn't help but smile and teased: "Old hunter, you came so early, you must have thought of a plan to escape from Xingchen."

"Magic Cube Witch." Jerian did not rush to pick up the big sword, but confronted Seren and said, "The origin magic you studied has brought disaster to the world. You also took advantage of the corruption of Galid to bring disaster to the town of Selia and turned people into that magic ball. Your crime is extremely heinous."

"Humph, you are an outsider, what do you know?" Se Lian snorted coldly, "Becoming a star seed is the highest honor of the Origin School. How could you know how those people begged me and Master Lusert to volunteer to explore the starry universe with us?"

--Um?

Speaking of which, outside the town of Selia, there is a long and narrow valley road on the north bank of Lake Ionia. At the end of the valley, there is indeed a magician's ball made by many magicians, which is the seed of the star.

When I was playing the game, I was wondering what the purpose of putting such a strange thing here was when there was no prop worth collecting.

It turns out that it was the work of Master Seren and Master Lusert.

Sure enough, Jie Lian couldn't understand what kind of research it was to roll a person into a ball. It was just a crooked way of doing things.

Moreover, it happened after the battle between the Valkyrie and General Latan, and the swamp happened to be located outside the town of Selia. Such things must have made Selia town even worse, turning it into the seemingly deserted ghost town it is today.

Because of Latan, the Red Lion City must have been on good terms with the town of Selia in the past. That is why Jelian regarded Selia as an unforgivable witch.

He couldn't help but sigh: "He refuses to repent. It's a pity that I can't destroy such a sinner with my own hands."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Se Lian was puzzled.

"I made a deal with City Lord Jie Lian, teacher." I spoke loudly among the crowd and walked forward.

"apprentice?"

I explained with a wry smile, "After all, I've thought it through. No matter what, I won't let you become a so-called star seed. After all, that's not the outcome I'm after. And you, teacher, also said that in the School of Origin, if you have objections, you can use your own ideas to fight and decide who is right and who is wrong... It seems that our fight is inevitable, so I simply used the favor I helped General Latan and Lord Jellian to make this deal."

“······” Se Lian stared at me, silent.

I also continued, "Don't worry, teacher. If you win, City Lord Jie Lian promised me that he will not cause any trouble with you again, and you can continue your research. But if you lose, please promise me that you will give up turning into a star seed from now on... How about this? This condition is perfect for you, right?"

Se Lian sighed, and asked in confusion: "Disciple, why do you insist on doing everything you can to hinder your master's exploration of the [Origin]?"

"Hmm? I didn't make any agreement to forbid this. You can continue to explore if you want, but just don't turn into a ball."

"In addition, you are not allowed to step out of the academy without permission. All your research must be conducted under surveillance. Otherwise, we will come back to take your life." Jie Lian added.

“Haha, hahaha——” Se Lian suddenly couldn’t help laughing, “Okay, okay, it sounds like you saved my life, apprentice.”

“Not really…”

“But do you know how our Origin School determines victory or defeat?” She lowered her voice.

"... I know that only the person who is still alive at the end can prove that the school's theory is correct." I nodded. "In other words, the strong prey on the weak, and the winner is king."

"Very good. In that case, your words and deeds seem to imply that you want to let me go? Are you arrogant, or do you look down on others?" Se Lian's tone became even colder.

“······I will just try to live to prove, teacher, that your idea of ​​origin is wrong.” This is all I can say.

"Okay!" Se Lian took out his staff indifferently, "Take up your weapon, Fader, Zero! I will show you what a 'Magic Cube Witch' is."

I drew out the Kalia Knight Sword I borrowed from Mugram and got ready.

Se Lian didn't say much. A blue light flashed on the top of his staff, and then a large pyroxene demon gravel quickly bombarded me.

Combat skill——Great, Kalia, the first stage of charging.

At the moment when the blue light of magic enveloped the sword, I swung the sword at the pyroxene demon gravel.

Suddenly, the broken magic gravel exploded into flying crystalline powder, which was blown towards Se Lian by the strong wind.

Combat skill - hound step.

However, Se Lian also immediately caught my footsteps, turned around, and there was a pyroxene arc.

Seeing this, I could only quickly use my combat skill "Storm Blade" and slash out with a little magic power.

The two forces collided in the air and turned into blue fireworks.

Se Lian waved his magic wand continuously, and I was not to be outdone and kept fighting back. Soon, the square was filled with a haze of crystalline powder, making it impossible for us to see each other clearly.

Taking advantage of this time, Se Lian quickly chanted a spell, and the top of the pyroxene staff flashed with blue light. One blue glass ball after another flew away, as if they had turned into hanging stars.

And around her, the darkness like the night quietly spread out along with the drifting stars.

But suddenly, Se Lian raised her head, and from the other side of the crystalline mist in front of her, a torrent swept everything away and rushed straight towards Se Lian, forcing her to stop casting her spells and roll to avoid it.

Magic - Comet Azrael

"Tu... Ling, aren't you a warrior?" As expected, Se Lian was surprised.

I held the gleaming pyroxene Kalia Scepter in my hand and responded, "Isn't this a battle between origin magicians? I will use my magic to defeat you fairly, Teacher Se Lian."
