Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"You, who are you?" My sudden appearance obviously scared Little Red Riding Hood Roderica, causing her to shrink into the corner of the dilapidated house.

I couldn't help but laugh.

—Hey, what kind of little octopus are you? Can you hide in the cracks of the ground?

However, the jellyfish wrapped around her body was like red dye dropped into clear water, and a vitality gradually spread as it materialized.

The little jellyfish has puffed up its air and might spit at me in the next second.

I quickly shook my hands: "Wait a minute, I'm not your enemy, but a faded person passing by...ah!"

When I saw the armor on my arms, I realized that I was wearing the armor of a Grek soldier. I was probably mistaken for a bad guy by Roderica and the little jellyfish Kurala, who came to chase and capture them.

So I took off my helmet and lowered my eyelids: "If you don't believe me, look, there is no blessed light in my eyes, right?"

"Ah... Yuan, so you are also Lord Faded? Yes, I'm sorry, we were too nervous and mistook you for someone else." Roderica apologized to me sincerely, and the little jellyfish Kurala finally lifted her alert and stuck back to Roderica.

"What happened?" I asked with concern.

"I, we...we..." Unexpectedly, before Roderica could answer, she couldn't help but lower her head again and sobbed.

The little jellyfish Kulala, on the other hand, seemed very enthusiastic, waving and swaying all its tentacles in the air.

It’s a pity that I don’t understand what you are saying at all, my little cutie.

Besides, I have no idea what to do when a girl cries, and I don’t know how to comfort her.

——Meimei, come and save me!

"Ah, we found someone! The girl is here!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside the dilapidated house.

And Kurara immediately entered a state of alert, her whole body turning bright red.

I turned around and saw a group of Greg's soldiers running towards the shack. One of them saw me and yelled, "Hey, soldier, catch the girl next to you!"

“Aaaah…” Roderica had completely collapsed, holding her face, trembling all over as she begged in a low voice, “No, no, I, I don’t want to turn into a spider, please, please don’t catch me.”

“... Begging for mercy in a servile manner won’t win the other party’s mercy, Roderica.” I drew out my straight sword and blocked it in front of her. “But don’t worry. I won’t hand you over to anyone.”

"You, you are actually a Fader!" The Greg soldiers immediately focused their first target on me. "Well, I will offer you to Lord Greg!"

"puff--"

Before these guys could rush forward, Kurala smeared poison water in their faces.

"Well done!" I took the opportunity to quickly step forward and pierced a guy's chest with a sword.

When another soldier nearby saw his comrade die, he didn't even hesitate to chop my arm before I could draw my sword.

I decisively let go of my hand, turned around and stepped back, pulling out the pyroxene magic wand from my waist.

Magic——pyroxene magic gravel!

Bang!

A pyroxene hit the opponent's head directly, forcing the Greg soldier to retreat.

I also took advantage of the victory and launched three consecutive shots of pyroxene magic gravel, sending the opponent directly back to his hometown!

The remaining cloth-clad soldiers were no match for Kurala. After her red tentacles bound them tightly, she poured jellyfish venom directly into their mouths.

After a while, the soldier collapsed with a dark face.

"You're awesome, little jellyfish." I put away my sword, and Kulala shed her scarlet hair and came closer to me.

Ahahaha, stop, stop now, stop wrapping your arms around my waist, it's itchy~

“······Look, it seems she likes you very much, Lord Faded.” Seeing that we had dealt with the enemy, Roderica calmed down a little, but her rosy cheeks were still full of tear marks, looking very pitiful.

I pointed at the fallen Grek soldiers around me and suggested, "This place is no longer safe, Roderica, let's talk somewhere else."

Rodlika lowered her eyes: "But, but, I don't know where in this land is safe."

Well, that seems to be correct.

But if you ask me, the relatively safe places now should be the coastal caves where Burke and Old Currie are, and Kenneth Hyde's fortress.

However, the two places are too far apart.

I don't know whether Little Red Riding Hood Roderica can be teleported through the blessed light... Oh, I don't think so.

After all, the setting in the game is that the girl cannot even see the guidance of the blessing.

So what exactly... huh?

I suddenly thought of a place where I might be able to try my luck - in front of the dilapidated house in Storm Hill, the dirt road goes east and there is a dilapidated house of a warrior in the woods.

There was a senior Fader there named Bernal.

In the early stage, he was also our A-Ti's combat skills teacher and a relatively friendly character.

I just don’t know whether Bernal would be in that shabby house in the real world, and I don’t know whether he would be willing to help.

But no matter what, let's leave here first.

"I've thought of a place, but, Roderica, can you still walk?" I smiled and stretched out my hand to her, and the little jellyfish Kulala also floated back to Roderica, as if to cheer her up and pull her up.

"Thank you, thank you." Rodrigo took my hand and stood up. She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Then, Mr. Faded One, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, if I can answer them."

"You, how do you know my name? I, I don't think I have introduced myself to you yet?" Roderica looked at me cautiously. For some reason, she quickly continued, "Of course, it's not that I doubt Lord Faded. After all, you, you also saved me... I'm just simply curious."

——Well, it’s a bit bad indeed.

In a moment of panic, I did call out the other person's name directly.

After all, in the Tour de France game, Little Red Riding Hood is a crucial character, even related to the hardcore brothers who helped me become the King of Elden!

But judging from her current mood, which was trembling like a frightened little rabbit, it was not difficult to see that Roderica had encountered something quite bad.

It's natural that she would be suspicious of me.

——We must act with caution here. After all, it is related to the strength of Brother Teardrop and Sister Black Knife in the later stage.

"Ah, this..." Fortunately, I quickly thought of a reason, "Rodlika, do you know astrology?"

"You, you mean the kind of magic that the magicians of Rhealukalia will study?" It seems that Roderica also knows something about magic, so there is no need to continue to reveal my little knowledge.

"That's right." I took out my staff and pointed at the sky. "Our destiny is contained in the stars. And it is because I read the difficulties you will encounter from the stars that I came to help you."

"I see, Lord Faded One, you must be very, very powerful!" Roderica's eyes lit up with respect and worship, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

——Hehehe, praise me more, I like it~

——Ah! I'm sorry, Master Se Lian, I boasted about your teachings.

The image of Teacher Seren angrily poking my head with the pyroxene magic wand suddenly appeared in my mind.

However, I'm not completely lying, after all, I have the memory of the plot of the Ring of Magic, and I know exactly the fate that all NPCs will face next... Of course, there is also a premise that nothing unexpected happens.

On the other side, Roderica was still speaking excitedly, "Before, a magician companion told me the story of magic and stars. Astrology, which predicts the future and destiny... is a very remarkable ability! According to him, he..."

But as she spoke, Roderica's voice became low again.

Even the little jellyfish poked my shoulder with its tentacles.

——······Huh? Can you blame me for this?

Um?and many more.

In the gray world swept by the storm, I vaguely saw two figures on the road ahead.

There seems to be a cart parked next to them... Don't think that they are people who are in trouble. Looking at the goods scattered on the ground, their troubles must have ended.

Moreover, in the game, there are also two Kaidan mercenaries who have become bandits wandering on this road. Now with Roderica, it is better to avoid them first.

"Go this way." I subconsciously took Rodlika's hand and led her to take a detour.

But suddenly, my hand was pulled hard.

Looking back, I saw Roderica kneeling on the ground, covering her mouth with her other hand, and making unbearable vomiting sounds.

Bloody smell!

I turned my head and suddenly saw a body lying on the ground in the distance.

"Who is it?" A voice came from the direction of the carriage.

Oops, I’ve been discovered!

The jellyfish Kulala also immediately went into alert status, but now was not the time to stop fighting!

"Hmm? What a luck! We found prey again today!" They were indeed the Kaidan mercenaries. They were carrying machetes and walking towards us step by step.

"Oh, there are women too, that's great~"

——You want to rob me of my money and my body? Bastard.

"I'm sorry, Roderica!" I quickly pulled Roderica up, carried her on my back, and ran away.

"Don't run!" The Kaidan mercenaries would naturally not let the two of us go, but soon, we heard them cry "Ouch!"

"Kurara, well done! Spray them to death!" It turns out there is such a tactic. You can try it when facing the BOSS in the future, the jellyfish mobile turret.

I ran as fast as I could and entered a forest - the warrior's dilapidated house should be nearby.

"Ouch——"

The Flying Wolves again, at this time?

I hope you can go and cause trouble for those two mercenaries, please!

I didn't dare look back or look up. I just ran as fast as I could and left the rest to Kurara.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Fader, I..." The girl's low and weak apology came from my shoulder.

"There's nothing to apologize for. This is the destiny I read from the stars!" I responded casually, pretending to be cool.

Oh, I can already see the blessed light! There is indeed a figure in the dilapidated house!

—Help me, Monsieur Bernard!

——I also hope you will say: "Leave A Tu Tu!"
