Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

The moment Gotok revealed my identity, Diros and the brothers who came with him drew their swords and put them against Gotok's throat.

thump!

Gotok was so frightened that he waved his hands and said, "Calm down! Calm down! Do you still want to enter the city after you kill me?"

Also, I have to say that although you two have very strong reaction abilities, could you please put me aside and talk to me later?

——Ouch, my lumbar disc...

"Brother Ling, what do you say we should do?" The plan was disrupted and Diros was suddenly at a loss.

I rubbed my waist and stood up: "Put down the knife first. I think the guard has something to say to us. Otherwise, he would have called someone long ago."

"Oh, that's a calm judgment. I have a good impression of Faded Ones like you." Gotok said with a wry smile.

——But to be honest, I don’t like chrysanthemums, and I don’t need your favor!

Then, Gotok pointed to the right, where there was a cave on the wall. "The soldiers don't know about the path over there yet. There should be a way to invade the city directly without being discovered by those people. So, I suggest, Faded One, it would be better for you to go this way."

And I also said frankly: "If it weren't for the obstruction, I think our plan should be quite good."

Gotok shook his head. “You should remember that there was also a Faded One who broke into the city before... That’s why Greg has sent people to guard the city more strictly. Once you go in, you, the Faded One, will be handed over to the Exile directly, and then—”

He made a gesture of cutting off his arm, the meaning of which was self-evident.

——That guy Roger, could it be that he left a mess for me in there?

Diros also noticed something was wrong: "Since that person also got in from this side last time, the defense along the way must have been very strict."

"This..." Gotok was speechless for a moment.

——Don’t say anything. This pervert who is following me just wants to steal my rune. He might even wait for me to die and then cut off my arm and replace it with his own limb.

Even though I have read the plot, I still can't take advantage of this little trick.

——We need to find a way to punish this despicable guy.

So I stopped Diros and said, "I understand the situation. If this is the only way to challenge Greg, I will go."

"But, Brother Zero..."

"It's okay, Dyros. If the city is really like what this guy said, my plan will definitely hinder you." I patted his shoulder and said, "Believe me, after all, I defeated the 'evil omen demon'."

Seeing what I said, Diros no longer insisted on his own opinion: "Then Brother Ling, you better be careful."

"Well, I'll leave now while it's still dark." I waved goodbye to Diros and went into the hole on the side of the gatekeeper's room.

Outside was the wall of Storm City built along the cliff. The wind was howling, and it felt like a knife cutting my cheeks.

I moved forward and climbed over a wall that was broken in the middle.

——If I remember correctly, there is a storm eagle hiding in the tree opposite here.

These guys were made into biological weapons, with sharp blades on their feet. They were extremely disgusting in the early stages of the game, especially the weird aerial spinning slash. Even if I was holding up a shield, they could still inexplicably get behind me and cut me.

As for how to deal with it, it is best to keep a distance, wait for it to swoop down, stab its feet into the ground hard to make it stiff, and then use a heavier weapon like the King's Straight Sword in my hand to directly suppress the opponent to death.

Of course, this is based on a one-on-one situation. If you are entangled by multiple guys, it is better to run away as soon as possible.

But now, the problem is that I can't find where the eagle is.

After all, there is no convenient locking function in reality!

The visibility at night is already very poor, and it is even more difficult to distinguish when the trees are densely covered with branches and leaves.

"There is no other way." I clenched the holy seal with two fingers and said silently in my heart.

Pray—Throw yourself into the fire!

The raging fire suddenly smashed towards the opposing tree, and instantly turned into a huge torch under the night sky, burning the Storm Eagle so much that it rushed out screaming.

I took out Krepp's black keys and prepared to start shooting: "Very good, come on, in my position, you should..."

But I didn't expect the eagle to spread its wings, spot me, and fly directly towards me.

This, this is not right!

In the magic circle, shouldn't these guys be dragged down by their heavy feet and only be able to hover at a very low altitude once they fly out? They can't even fly over the wall.

And the guy in front of me actually flew into the air and swooped down towards me.

But if you think about it carefully, since they are both flying, the difference between low altitude and mid-altitude is actually not that big.

······Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, running away is the best one!

I quickly turned around and ran, but this guy also jumped over the high wall and continued to chase me.

The sound of flapping wings was getting closer and closer. I wanted to look back to see what was going on, but the sharp light of the knife scared me so much that I quickly retracted my head. The Storm Eagle flew over my head and went around to the front.

——The way is blocked.

Soon, it circled in from the air again, with its double blades heading straight for my face.

I drew my sword, raised my shield, and kept backing away. Without noticing, I had already retreated to the corner of the wall... Corner? Isn't this a good opportunity?

The eagle screamed and rushed towards me with the long sword on its feet.

——Although I have no way to retreat, your attack method has become monotonous! Stupid beast.

Just as the Storm Eagle was about to attack, I dodged to the side, nailing its feet to the wall.

Taking this opportunity, he swung his sword and cut off the Storm Eagle's wings, then gave it another sword in the chest before it fell. Then he could go with peace of mind.

"Okay, easy problem." I shook off the blood stains on the sword, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to move forward when suddenly, a few wisps of fire floated over from the other side of the wall.

Difficult, could it be that...

I quickly climbed up to the top of the wall, and saw that the big tree that I had just ignited had completely let itself go, and along with it, the bushes and grass around it, and all the plant-related friends were getting excited.

The fire burned fiercely, lighting up this corner like day.

Even the two or three storm eagles that were originally at the bottom of the cliff were attracted by the flames and flapped their wings and flew around, as if they didn't know what to do.

——Am I, an idiot?

They actually set fire to the trees in such a strong wind.

Now, the fire was rapidly devouring all combustible materials nearby, and there was no way to stop the car.

——Setting fire to the mountain will result in life imprisonment.

If I go one step further and attract the exiles guarding the castle's outer walls, I'll probably be imprisoned in Stonewell.

woo-

Really, what you fear will come true. Was that the assembly horn I just heard?

What should I do? Should I retreat first?

But with all the commotion tonight, this might be our last chance to get into the city from this road. It will definitely be heavily guarded after that, and entering Stonewell again will be extremely difficult.

I took a deep breath and clenched my teeth.

Let’s fight, let’s fight!

Taking advantage of the current bright firelight, I took out the pyroxene magic wand and attacked continuously, shooting down the storm eagles one by one.

The obstacles in front of the cliff have been cleared. Next, we can only rush in desperately!
