Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Jingle Bell--

I was caught off guard and was thrown into the air by Marlennia's throwing technique. In the next second, a golden long blade pierced through me from below.

But at this critical moment, a cloud of silver-grey mist suddenly spread out from my body, as if someone pushed me to the side. I dodged the sword of Malenia as much as possible and fell out of the mist.

Seeing this, Marennia subconsciously dodged the silver-gray mist.

——After all, platinum blood is as poisonous as a poison to the people of gold.

"Brother Teardrop, you came just in time." I supported myself with the night fire and climbed up from the ground.

——Fortunately, I was prepared, and when Marennia rushed over, I quickly rang the soul-summoning bell.

At this moment, the replica teardrop also took shape and stood silently beside me.

While my elder brother is here, I quickly drink a mouthful of Holy Grail Dew to recover my various states. I wiped the corners of my mouth and raised Nightfire: "The opponent is the strongest demigod, don't take it lightly, let's go together!"

Prayer - Dragon Thunder Shelter by Lance Shanks.

Then, the combat skill - hound step!

The replica teardrop and I used the same moves at the same time, like two wolfhounds, wrapped in gusts of wind and red lightning, and rushed towards Marennia.

——Since you are determined to fight, I will accompany you to the end!

Marennia also vigilantly took a few steps back to prevent herself from being completely sandwiched from both sides, so as to avoid being caught at the end.

Teardrop swung his sword and slashed at the opponent from the left, and I made a sweeping slash from the right.

Seeing this, Marennia followed the direction of our attack, bent sideways, and while dancing in the air, she swung her uprising sword and slashed, forcing me and the replica teardrop back.

However, once she gained her footing, the teardrop ignited her Night Fire into flames, and she rode the storm to roll up the dragon. When she saw that Malenia was retreating, she immediately transformed the Flame Hurricane Dance into Storm Slash.

Marennia turned around without hesitation and used her sword energy to cut the giant flaming dragon into pieces.

But it's all just a cover.

Combat skill - Thunder God Killing Gun.

Just before the flames completely dissipated, the red lightning shot out and hit Marennia with one strike.

But the Valkyrie's reaction was also quite fast. Although she seemed to be repelled by my Thunder God Killing Spear, she actually used it to dissipate the force and at the same time created some distance.

Her waist and abdomen were pierced by the red lightning. Blood was flowing from the wound, and a crimson smell of corruption was wafting out of it. However, Marennia did not show any sign of pain. She stood up steadily, and without stopping for a moment, she brandished a knife and ran towards us quickly.

The imitation teardrop was not to be outdone and stepped forward.

The two men slashed at each other, their blades colliding and sparks flying, while streaks of energy spread out, destroying all the flowers around them.

——Could it be that even the Valkyrie's sword-wielding attack could be imitated by Brother Teardrop? !

I can't care so much.

I followed the hound's steps, quickly circled behind Marennia, swung the Night Fire, and delivered a bloody slash.

Marennia seemed to have sensed something. She quickly picked up the teardrops of her imitation body with a sword, then jumped into the air and flipped to avoid my attack.

The replica teardrop and I looked at each other, and she immediately understood what I meant. After standing firmly on her feet, she rushed towards me, then jumped up, stepped on my shoulders and leaped a second time. Her whole body turned into a bright red moon in mid-air.

At the same time, I used magic to condense the blue pyroxene of Night Fire, then turned around and slashed with an icy blow.

As soon as Marennia landed, the frost under her feet froze, which stunned her for a moment. And at this moment, the replica teardrop seized the opportunity.

Combat skill - Scarlet Blood Moon Slash, falling straight down.

Although Malenia crossed the long blade to block the attack, the Blood Slash was like a heavy hammer, falling heavily on her body, causing Malenia to fall backwards and she had to use her sword to barely hold on to the ground.

——Perfect cooperation, Brother Teardrop!

However, now is not the time to stop.

The replica teardrop and I once again performed the hound pace, closing the distance as quickly as possible, preparing for another round of attack.

But then Marennia pulled out a long sword from the ground, then suddenly jumped up, like a bird, spread her wings and flew into the air. The blade flashed with cold light, and the next second, it turned into an overwhelming light.

Fighting skill - Water bird dance!

——I’m going! I’m going! I’m going!

Once she uses this move, the dazzling attack is unstoppable.

The Fake Teardrop was fine. With a wave of its hand, it still had the energy to conjure up a shield to block the opponent's attack. But even if I summoned a shield from the blessing backpack now, it was too late. I had to quickly distance myself from it.

But the bird flew by lightly, and the murderous aura enveloped me in an instant.

——Since I can’t escape, I can only fight to the death!

The night fire burned, I turned around and slashed with flames.

But the water bird's blade instantly dispersed the flames, and then came down like a landslide or tsunami.

One sword turned into two swords, two swords turned into four swords, four swords turned into... I couldn't see the opponent's blade at all, and I had to rely entirely on instinct to defend against Marennia's attacks directed at my vitals. The wounds on my body burst open one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.

boom--

Fortunately, a thunder came from behind Marennia, forcing her to jump and dodge, temporarily interrupting the water bird's attack.

My mind was in a trance and I fell to my knees.

——What a terrible fighting skill. If the attack of the imitation teardrop was a little slower, I felt that I would be eaten up by this storm.

He drank the dew of the Holy Grail impatiently and looked up at Marennia.

The previous knife wounds on her body seemed to have healed, and after a set of water birds, her blood volume was almost fully sucked out.

...No, it looked more like Marlennia was just standing there, and her wound was healing.

The scarlet corruption continued to destroy her body, but at the same time, the power of the Great Rune also gave Malenia extraordinary recovery power. Now, it was this power that prevailed, so no matter what kind of injury it was, it was repairing quickly.

——It’s like it’s fighting us with its back to the recovery fountain. It’s even more difficult than sucking blood.

If we fail to organize attacks continuously and effectively, there is a chance that during the battle, Marennia will quietly recover to her fullest state.

However, the state of my replica teardrop and I is decreasing all the time. If this continues, we will never be a match for the Valkyrie.

"······My comrade, please lend me that scepter." The replica teardrop was obviously aware of this problem and came back to me to give me some advice.

"Oh, then please." I understood what she meant. While summoning a shield for myself, I also summoned the Scepter of Kalia from the blessing backpack.

In the eyes of the teardrop, blue light began to flicker, and it was obvious that the power had been readjusted and replaced with my wizard's name.

"I will be the shield and you will be the spear. Let's go for it and attack with all our strength!" After saying that, I quickly rushed towards Marennia.

The opponent swung the sword again, like a bird spreading its wings and flying.

Combat skills - Water birds dancing wildly, attacking again!
