Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Wizard Roger.

In the Ring of Magic game, when Atai enters Stoneville and challenges the evil teacher, he can summon his good brother. They will meet again in the city later. The other party seems to be looking for something and will teach Atai some spells.

Although, I had thought about asking this person for help when fighting the "evil omen demon".

However, before I could find the small white statue to summon the Faded Ones and use the Summoning Finger Potion as taught by Curie, Roger actually appeared on his own.

——It is true that after searching for a long time, you can still find it without any effort.

Facing the doubts of Diros and the others, Roger took the initiative to greet them: "Sorry, sorry, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Roger, and I am a traveling magic swordsman... Just now on the hillside over there, I heard that you wanted to enter Stonewell. Coincidentally, I also have something to do and want to find out what's going on inside. So, can you allow me to go with you? Zero, who is also a Faded One."

——Sure enough, his target should be the grotesque giant face hidden under Stonewell. It is said that it is the face of the "Dead Prince" Godwin.

"Of course." I agreed readily. "But, you know about Greg's hunting of the Faded Ones, right?"

"Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful." Roger gently raised his hat with his magic wand and gave me a confident smile.

——Oh, this man is really handsome.

With Roger's help, I have more confidence in challenging the "evil omen demon".

After passing through the dark passage with surging wind, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.

And "Storm City" Stonewell firmly occupied my entire attention.

The towering Gothic walls are like giants, surrounding and protecting the entire city. Their tops are decorated with gold and jade, and even though they are now in decline, they still show off the former glory of the castle to every visitor or invader.

The cliff path leading to the castle is bottomless on both sides, and the only sound we can hear is the roaring of the wind, as if it is urging us to leave, otherwise, we will die without a body!

"O Faded One - are you manipulated by the fire of foolish ambition to obtain the Elden Ring?"

coming! coming! coming!

I heard his voice before I saw him. He sounded like an old man, but his tone was stern and penetrated my ears like a broadcast.

At the end of the cliff, outside the castle gate, a golden figure appeared on the top of the shorter tower.

The "evil omen" Markit really looked like an old man who was over 70 years old, but still full of dignity. He was wearing a dusty yellow cloak, and his white hair fluttered in the wind. Underneath, half of his face was covered with horns that grew like tree branches.

It appears and disappears mysteriously, worthy of the name of a demon.

He stomped the stick in his hand hard, and the whole person flew up into the air, falling in front of Roger and me like a meteor, stirring up a mushroom cloud of dust, blocking the only way to Stonewell. "Then, including that fire, it must be extinguished... I, the 'evil demon' Markit, will do it immediately."

"Evil omen demon? I have never heard of such a person in Stonewell." Although Roger was extremely confused, he immediately took the staff in one hand and drew out the rapier with the other.

"Don't think too much! Just know that if we don't defeat him, we won't be able to enter the city!" I quickly rang the soul-summoning bell and summoned the three wolves, "Let's go on the ground with all our strength, Roger!"

"That's true." Roger crossed the magic wand and the rapier above his head and applied the magic power of pyroxene to the sword.

Seeing our high morale, Markit snorted coldly, raised his hand, and swung out two golden rays of light, which turned into blades and attacked us directly.

I subconsciously swung my sword to block.

But the glowing blade was instantly shattered into glass-like fragments, sliding across my face and my earlobes.

——As expected, this move will also cause health loss just by blocking?

"Zero, be careful!" Roger shouted behind me.

Markit jumped high into the air, swung the stick in his hand in a large circle, and came straight down.

when--

"Hah!" I raised my shield, gritted my teeth, and actually blocked the attack.

——"The evil demon", when viewed from close range, is twice as tall as me, but in terms of strength, it does not crush me, and I can still withstand it!

Roger took the opportunity to use the Brilliant Sword Circle, and four flying swords formed by magic flew towards Markit. But the opponent stepped back and easily knocked all the flying swords down.

"Ouch!"

Three wolves double-teamed and launched a surprise attack. Although the damage should not be high, it could somewhat hinder the opponent's actions.

I quickly seized the opportunity, took out the flame pot, and threw it hard at the "evil omen demon".

boom--

The flames did not ignite Markit's cloak as I had imagined, but vaguely, I could see wisps of golden powder floating out from the firelight and disappearing into the air.

—Hmm? What could that be?

Let’s not worry about it for now. While we have more people, we should completely suppress Market!

Roger spun his magic wand in the air, summoning a blue ball of magic light that floated in the air and fired many small balls at Markit.

I also used magic - pyroxene magic gravel to perform a series of attacks.

Under the suppression of firepower, Markit could only grab the cloak to resist the magic for a while: "... I see, so that's how it is, you do have some ability."

Suddenly, he lowered his body, swung his long stick horizontally, and with a quick spinning slash, he cleared out the three wolves around him.

Then, with a strong jump, the whole person flew into the air again, and a golden light flashed in his other hand.

Oh no, the hammer sparks are coming!

I quickly shouted, "Get out of the way! Roger!"

Sure enough, the glow in Markit's hand condensed into a golden hammer, which fell suddenly between Roger and me.

boom--

Although I retreated in time, the shock wave still made me lose my balance.

——By the way, aren’t you afraid of breaking the cliff directly?

whoosh-

The next second, I felt a sudden pain in my stomach. I looked down subconsciously and saw a long knife wound on my body.

—Did you pierce me with a magical flying knife?

——Damn, it was so fast, I didn’t have time to react.

I quickly used my remaining strength to do a series of backflips to avoid it, but I didn't expect that Markit would seize the moment when I was retreating, and with his raised crutch, he aimed at the gap when I was rolling and chopped it down directly like using a fly swatter to hit a fly.

——Here it comes, the ultimate fast and slow knife that is specially designed to capture A-Tu’s invincible frame!

I quickly continued to block with my shield, but when I exerted force, the wound on my stomach felt like someone was digging into it with their hands, and it hurt so much that my teeth were almost bleeding.

Fortunately, a wolf spirit rushed forward and bit Markit's wrist, forcing him to stop. Other wolf spirits also rushed forward and forcibly stopped Markit from continuing to attack.

But the other party just swung hard and threw the wolf spirit on his wrist directly off the cliff.

"Ouch——"

——The wolf is big!

The other wolves were also easily dealt with one by one by the long stick.

"Old devil, have you forgotten me!" Behind him, Roger stabbed with his sword like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye he delivered three consecutive attacks, hitting Market's back.

In theory, if the body is injured, there should be some reaction.

But the "evil omen demon" acted as if nothing had happened. It didn't even bother to turn its head. It just swung its sharp-horned tail hard and knocked Roger out.

Fortunately, the series of gaps was enough, and I quickly drank two sips of the Red Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle and completely recovered from my injuries.

Then, hold the sword in your left hand and swing with your right hand with all your strength!

Combat skill——Blood slash!

The Blood Blade rushed forward with a sword and forced Markit away.

I also kept my distance and threw two flying knives straight at the opponent's eyes.

As Markit subconsciously stretched out his hand to block, the Flame Pot attacked again and exploded on his body.

boom!

——Well, this time you should...

The long stick was like a knife, cutting through the flames with one strike. Markit pushed hard and rushed in front of me in the blink of an eye.

——Want to fight with swords in close combat? I’m Ashina Shura from Sekiro! Come on!

“Hahhaha—” I held the sword in both hands and charged forward with a roar.

Just like wild beasts using their sharp claws to tear each other apart, the straight sword and the long stick kept clashing and colliding, sparks bursting out, and the sound of iron hammering echoed across the entire cliff along with the wind.

But it seemed that each of Markit's attacks was so easy, yet so powerful; I had to try my best to barely block the attack.

After a few rounds, the pain in the base of my thumb became unbearable.

——Ah, no, my hands can hardly hold the straight sword!

I quickly exposed a flaw, which led to the opponent's long stick moving up from bottom to top. I used the force to help myself retreat significantly, and then I took a few breaths to adjust my breathing.

Close combat consumes too much concentration and physical strength. I have to admit that I am no match for the "Evil Omen Demon" if I fight alone.

······Fight alone?

By the way, where's Roger? He hasn't come to support us for a while, right?

"Hey--"

Just when I was wondering, a voice called out from the inner gate of Stonewell. It turned out to be Roger: "My good friend, I'm going into the city first - see you next time if there's a chance!"

——What? That guy actually ran away while I was holding Market?!

——Jie, Brother Jie! No! If you leave, what can I use to fight against the evil teacher?

Fortunately, Roger's voice also attracted Market. He probably didn't expect the sudden change: "·······It seems that the tacit understanding between you Faded Ones is not very good."

No matter what kind of tacit understanding we had, I quickly ran away and rushed back to the outer passage, or even ran directly out of the gate of Stonewell.

Teacher Evil Omen was left alone, disheveled in the wind.
