Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

In my ears, the roar of the Dragon King gradually faded away until it disappeared.

When we opened our eyes again, we were back on the broken cemetery slab outside the storm.

woohoo-

The wind roared as usual, and the Dragon King Platonsanks still sat in the center of the space-time rift.

Although he has mastered some of the power of [time], Platonsanks can only read the past but cannot predict the future, so he can only wait indefinitely for his deity to return.

——By the way, what would the Dragon King ask me to do? Could it be to help him find the Dragon God?

Well, there's no point in thinking so much now. Platonsanks also said that if I can defeat the Beast of Elden, it won't be too late to come back and find Him.

"Lord Zero." At this time, Melina suddenly called me. She was looking down at my right hand, with red arcs of light dancing in her golden eyes.

I lowered my head and was also shocked: "Wow!"

I saw that I was unconsciously holding a red lightning in my hand, but the moment I noticed it, the arc of light penetrated into the palm of my hand.

In his mind, the image of the red lightning runes flashing suddenly appeared, as well as the image of Platon Sanx holding the lightning spear and releasing a large-scale lightning strike on the ground: "What, what is this?"

"It seems that Master Zero has been blessed by Master Dragon King, just as Master Lance Shanks once shared her blessings with you," Melina explained.

Oh!

I once again recalled the red thunder prayer rune, and all of a sudden, the mighty thunder condensed in the palm of my hand again.

Just then, a rock was swept past me by the storm, and I threw my lightning gun directly at it.

boom--

The thunder roared, easily penetrating the boulders and even bursting open a huge net of red lightning.

"Awesome! Thank you, Platonsanks!" I waved to the storm. I think the Dragon King should be able to hear it.

Turning around, I saw the Deadborn Edgar holding the unconscious mad fire witch Haida... Oh, or rather, his daughter Irena.

As if through a vision of the past, Platon Shanks told Haida what had happened on the Weeping Peninsula:

Originally, after Irena was murdered, her soul returned to the tree, and with the blessing of [Eternity], she should have been able to reshape her body and reincarnate again, but the Mad Fire interfered.

Thinking back, when I first met her after Stonewell City, Haida seemed to still have some memories of Irena. But after being taken away by Crazy Fire A-Ling and traveling with him, the remaining memories must have been completely erased, and she might even be deceived into thinking that Edgar deliberately abandoned her for the so-called morality and duty, which led to her tragic death at the hands of the hybrids.

After all, judging from their reunion just now, Haida seemed to be quite afraid and disgusted with Edgar.

"Edgar, where are you going next?" I asked kindly, "With the help of the blessing transmission, we can take you there."

"...You still have to go to the Royal City of Rodel, split the Thorn of Rejection, and repair the Elden Ring." Edgar really knew the current situation. "So, don't worry about us, Brother Zero."

"But, when the ring is repaired, I'm not sure what will happen to the deadborn." I honestly expressed my concerns. "To be honest, you are the only deadborn I have ever seen who has retained his sanity, Edgar. But the other deadborns have been imprisoned in this half-dead body for too long. When the new law is implemented, you may all return to death."

——Perhaps it was because Edgar had not been a deadborn for too long, or perhaps it was because he was obsessed with finding his daughter Irena.

Therefore, I cannot guarantee how long Edgar will be able to maintain his current sanity after everything is over.

Edgar was silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his words: "Really? But it doesn't matter, after all, I have died once. As long as Irena is okay, everything is worth it..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his daughter's sleeping face: "I will take Irena back to Morn City... Although there may be some painful memories, it is also the place she is most familiar with. If the Elden Ring can really restore the order of the border, then I will leave it to you, Brother Ling."

"······good."

"Roar--"

As we were talking, a dragon roar came from the direction of the storm.

I saw an ancient dragon coming through the hurricane.

But the other party did not show any attacking posture. Instead, it flew near the stone slab and hovered... Why does it feel like a taxi?

"Lord Ling, it seems that this ancient dragon is here to pick us up." Melina had the same guess as me.

"But don't they hate it when people ride on them?" I thought of Lance Shanks. I had asked her to take me into the Royal City of Rodel before, but she was caught by the dragon's claws.

And Melina explained: "Now that Master Zero has the blessing of the Dragon King, the ancient dragons should also regard you as an equal."

"Really?" I approached the ancient dragon cautiously, and sure enough, he showed no dissatisfaction. "Then I'll leave it to you, Great Ancient Dragon."

"Roar——" Gu Long responded.

——It just so happens that I’m also a little worried about how to climb back from the cliff here.

——This also saves a lot of effort in transmitting blessings.

Riding on the ancient dragon, he returned to the Black Sword's temple first.

Nepheli and Alexander have also arrived here.

After Malicus put on Iggy's huge mirrored helmet and rested for a while, he looked much more energetic.

Roderica was still sitting on the ground with Bernal in her arms. When she saw me, she forced a smile: "Master Ling, Sister Melina, welcome back... As expected, that flame is no match for Master Ling."

"If I hadn't had your help, I would have been consumed by the foul fire and died." I walked in front of her, squatted down, and looked at Bernard. "How is he?"

Roderica shook her head.

“······Really?” I sighed. Until the end, I couldn’t understand this man Bernard, but... he must have helped me a lot behind the scenes.

"By the way, Lord Zero. Lord Bernal wanted me to give these to you before he died." Roderica raised her hand, and I saw two red rune lights emanating from her body, converging towards me, and finally, forming two large rune patterns on my hands.

It is the Great Rune of "The Great Snake" Lakkad and "The Blood King" Monger.

"In this way, you will definitely be able to repair the Elden Ring, please." Roderica seemed to be relaying Bernard's words.

"Yes, of course." I nodded and took the Great Rune into my body. "Now, let's go back to the royal city of Rodel."

After bidding farewell to Malicus, I rode on the broad back of the ancient dragon with everyone and left Fam Azra.

Passing through the sea of ​​clouds, in the distance, the golden tree has completely dyed the entire sky with flames.

Countless bright red sparks fell from the sky like heavy snow. Gradually, a gray dust fog covered the land at the foot of the sacred tree.

The ancient dragon took us to fly quickly to the royal city of Rodel.

I saw flames everywhere in the gray fog.

The dead and the immortals were wandering around the city like zombies.

There were also many monsters running rampant everywhere. The corrupt tree spirits twisted their bodies and crawled like snakes on the piled ashes; crows and violent dogs were covered in blood and rushed around everywhere; there were also hybrids mixed in, fighting with the knights stationed in Rodel.

"Big Ancient Dragon, go and help me, please."

The ancient dragon accepted my request without hesitation, roared, swooped down, and spewed blazing fire in the air, burning the monsters that were in the way below and making them flee in all directions, winning cheers from the knights.

And near the throne of King Elden, I found the tall, thin and familiar figure.

He also raised his head and looked towards me: "Zero."

"Teacher Mungert!" I waved excitedly and greeted him, "I'm back!"
