Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

He ran away with Roderica on his back, with the Kaidan mercenaries and the flying wolves chasing him closely.

——Is it true that Ah Dai’s unlucky physique is more attractive? You two guys who are not familiar with each other actually set my first target on me?

But I’m almost at the finish line!

Senior Bernal, please help me... No, who are you?

As I rushed towards the warrior's dilapidated house, the figure inside heard the noise and turned his head.

But, this dark face, sparse stubble and potato-like short haircut are completely different from the impression I have of Bernard. In theory, that guy should be a decadent uncle with some gray hair!

"Hey, isn't this Brother Ling?" The other party stood up and even recognized me! ?

Wait, this dragon scale armor, you are...

"I, Senior Ishutopia? How come you are here!?" I was extremely surprised. After all, in the game of the Ring of Magic, it was impossible for Ishutopia to appear in the warrior's hut.

However, Ishutopia was very sensible and raised his cavalry saber, saying with a smile: "We'll talk about the past later. It seems that you are in trouble, brother Ling."

This sense of morality is indeed his!

I responded without hesitation, "Yes, please! Senior!"

"Awoo--" the wolves roared, but just as they pounced, the purple glow suddenly expanded and exploded, and then pulled them away without any explanation.

Combat skill - gravity!

Then, with a spinning blow from the cavalry saber, the wolves were chopped down.

However, the real trouble was the two Kaidan mercenaries. Although they stopped, they obviously didn't want to let us go.

——He probably thought that A-Tai, who ran away as soon as they met, didn’t have much ability, so he just needed to deal with Ishutopia who showed up and got in the way.

I put Roderica down and told the little jellyfish, "Kurara, Roderica will be in your care."

"······Zero, Master Zero."

"Well, it's two against two now, you guys..." I just rolled up my sleeves, ready to start fighting with Ishutopia.

But he didn't expect a long sword to suddenly pierce the chest of one of the Kaidan mercenaries from behind. "What a forgetful fellow! What do you want to do in my shabby house?"

The man who suddenly appeared kicked the Kaidan mercenary away with one kick.

When the other guy saw his companion fall, he roared angrily and slashed down with his saber.

when--

A spark flashed.

The man simply swung his sword and managed to block the Kaidan mercenary's full-strength attack, even causing the opponent to lose balance.

——But is this action a combat skill—blocking?

Then, the man rushed forward and swung his sword upward in a reverse cassock slash.

Blood splattered, and the flower of the other shore blossomed on the body of the Kaidan mercenary.

"Hey, Bernal, you're back." Ixutopon called out the other's name.

——Oh! I guessed right!

With gray hair and beard, a face full of vicissitudes, and a silver-white suit with animal reliefs, it turns out that he is the real owner of the dilapidated house, the "warrior" Bernal!

Bernard nodded, swung his sword to clean the blood stains, looked at me and asked, "Is this person also a Fader? Do you know him? Ishutopia."

"Oh, he's the brother I mentioned to you before, Zero!" Ishtopia came over and put his arm around my shoulder. "He's smart, and has great abilities. More importantly, he has an orthodox knight's heart!"

"Oh?" Bernard couldn't help but look at me again.

I also quickly greeted him: "Hello, Senior Bernal."

"Forget about the senior thing." Bernard waved his hand, "Come and help me."

——Even though you said so, I should still respect the teacher who will teach me combat skills.

Ok?

Bernal was seen holding a knife and walking towards the fallen Kaidan mercenaries.

I asked curiously, "Senior, what happened to them?"

"In this land, those who are still blessed will not die easily." Bernal said expressionlessly, raising his greatsword towards the heads of the Kaidan soldiers. "Only by completely destroying their heads can we truly eliminate them."

"Wait, wait a minute!" I quickly stopped the other party.

——This is not entirely because of my soft-heartedness, but because Roderica is still around. I am worried that this scene will irritate her again.

But Bernal looked at me coldly: "What's the problem?"

I rolled my eyes: "I...I have a more effective way!"

"I can't think of anything more effective than killing people." Although he said this, Bernard put down his sword indifferently.

I also smiled evilly and patted my chest: "Leave it to me, I will make sure these guys will never dare to come near here again."

As I said that, I dragged the two Kaidan mercenaries to the nearby woods.

——And the method I am suggesting is to dig a hole and bury these two guys.

Of course, I will be very kind and leave their heads outside, so that even if the Kaidan mercenaries are revived, they will be completely unable to move.

As for whether they will encounter wolves and return to the trees, that is up to fate.

After listening to my plan, Bernal turned his head and looked at Ishutopia: "Is this the orthodox knight you mentioned?"

And Ishtopia laughed happily: "But it's funny, isn't it?"

"It's just a waste of effort."

I quickly retorted, "It's not a waste of effort, but doing a prank with all your strength is fun!"

Bernal was obviously speechless. He turned around and said to Ishutopia: "I just caught a wild boar. Ishutopia, come and help me cook it."

······

Hey~Hey~

"Finally done." When I finished the work, looking at the "successful" mercenaries, my mind already emerged with their surprised but helpless expressions after waking up. If they really encountered a pack of wolves, they would scream even more.

—Happy, happy! To make you do all kinds of evil.

However, I will show my mercy and ask you to wear helmets, which can protect you from the wolf's bites to some extent.

Hmm? What's that smell? It smells so good.

I followed the smell back to the warrior's shabby house, and saw Bernal, Ishtopia, and Roderica with the ghost jellyfish Kulala attached to her sitting in front of a bonfire.

Senior Ishutopia was just like usual, chatting and laughing, and even kindly handed the grilled meat to Roderica.

Roderica was flattered. She took the barbecue with both hands trembling like a little rabbit, but she burned her hands and accidentally dropped the meat on the ground. She then apologized in panic.

As for Bernal, he just cut, grilled and ate the meat honestly, just like an autonomous robot, not interested in the world.

This, this weird atmosphere, why does it give me a sense of déjà vu?

······Oh! I remember now.

This is a family dinner during New Year's Eve!

The older generation tried their best to pick up food for their grandchildren, but the grandchildren seemed weak, helpless and timid because they had not seen each other for many years. The remaining teenagers, aged fifteen or sixteen, huddled quietly in the corner, playing with their mobile phones or eating, just wanting to leave early.

······Thinking this way, I suddenly had the urge not to get close to him.

Because, single guys like me in their twenties will often become the topic of conversation among the older generation. All the aunts and uncles will talk to you about this and that, asking you whether you have a partner, where you work, how much you earn... Every word is heartbreaking!

"Hey, brother Ling, you finally got it done. Come over here quickly and eat together!"

It's over.

Caught by all the aunts and uncles!
