Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

As soon as he came up, he chopped off his hand and attached the dragon head as a limb.

Greg is like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, able to cast magic, pray, and even shoot with a bow and crossbow.

Now, this guy once again did something that was beyond my expectations.

A golden glow appeared on one of the arms on Greg's back, and as he clenched it tightly, a huge golden tree emblem suddenly appeared under Greg's body. The golden light gradually healed the wounds on his body, and even the dragon head seemed to be slowly recovering its vitality.

——Is it a restorative prayer...a blessing of grace?

This guy can actually heal himself, this is too good to be true! He is almost as good as the "Valkyrie" Malenia.

What should I do?

Originally, I was thinking that since the blessing point was nearby and the gate didn't look like it was sealed, I should use the same method I used to deal with the Evil Omen Teacher and start the "Blood Bull School" - Nepheli and I can take turns attacking, and the other person can take the opportunity to recover.

But now it seems that doing so will only lead to an endless round-the-clock war to delay time.

If we can't hold on in the square and let the exiles slip through, we will also be completely defeated here.

“Hahaha—you’ve seen it!” Greg looked at the dragon’s arm and his monstrous body with pride. “This is the true power of a king! Now, Marennia, the King of Blessing, Latan, and Lakkad, none of you are my match!”

"Don't brag without thinking. You'd better defeat us first!" I stood up again. I have to admit that we are inferior in strength, but we can't lose in words. "It's already a tough battle to deal with two faded ones. If we meet Maliannia, I'm afraid I will have to lick Lianlian's feet and beg for mercy again."

"Lian...Lian?" Nefeli turned her head in surprise, her eyes full of expressions like "Are you very familiar with Marennia?" and "Are you a noble knight?"

——What are you surprised about, Niene? We will have a lot of interactions in the future... probably.

I'd better not tease him anymore. After all, Xiao Ge seemed to be a little bit broken by my casual remark.

"Moron, arrogant, and disrespectful to the king, is it true that you Faded Ones are only good at talking?" Greg sneered, and as if he suddenly thought of a good idea, he laughed maliciously, "Just right, just right, I still need a mouth to engage in verbal battles, so just attach your head to me! Hahaha——"

After saying that, Greg controlled the dragon head and fired dragon breath at Nepheli and me.

"I'm really sorry for not being so polite!" I quickly separated from Nefeli.

This guy Xiao Ge really locked onto me as his first target, and his dragon breath kept chasing me.

This would create space for Nepheli, who stirred up a storm and moved towards Greg.

But Greg also used his double axes to stir up a storm in the opposite direction, hindering Nepheli while he suddenly rolled towards me and then took advantage of the momentum to soar into the air.

“You little ant, see how great I am, and then go back to the other side to worship me!” The dragon head spewed out flames, tightly wrapping around Greg. He seemed to have turned into a huge flaming meteor, smashing towards me.

I quickly rolled backwards to avoid the opponent's attack.

But unexpectedly, Greg's combo followed immediately, holding the giant axe and pressing it hard to the ground.

boom--

The entire ground was shaken by it, causing me to stagger as soon as I landed. Then arrows and demonic gravel poured down on me.

——It’s not easy to avoid.

"Kurala!" I hurriedly called out to the little jellyfish on my body.

Kulara immediately understood, and her tentacles wrapped around the nearby tree, pulling me away suddenly.

——We have to find a way to get rid of those arms that can attack from a distance first.

"Hahah——" At this time, Nepheli rushed up from behind Greg, even under the attack of arrows and magic gravel, and chopped Greg's back with double axes with golden lightning.

The dragon's arm suddenly turned back, and although it failed to bite Nefeli, it then hit the opponent head-on with a flame, burning Nefeli so much that she fell to the ground for a while.

Meanwhile, I was concentrating on attracting Greg, who was waving his two huge axes wildly and chasing me.

After jumping and dodging on the stone tablet, I spotted another tree in front of me and said quickly, "Kurara, help me swing over!"

Kulala stretched out her tentacles, wrapped around the branches, and pulled me with all her strength, flying in the low sky like Spider-Man.

Then, I grabbed a branch with one hand, stepped on the main trunk with my foot, turned around and jumped hard, narrowly avoiding Greg's huge sweep.

All the limbs on his back were exposed to me.

Combat Skill - Blood Slash! Launch in mid-air!

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, arrows and several pyroxene magic rubbles hit me in the air.

But my attack also successfully cut off several of Greg's arms!

I fell heavily to the ground, and I subconsciously rolled over to dodge, avoiding Greg's vertical axe and putting some distance between me and him.

"Oh?" Looking at the three or two hands that fell to the ground, Greg snorted coldly and did not rush to chase after them. "You used all your strength, but you could only cut off a few of my hands. Is this the limit of your ability?"

As he spoke, the other reattached hands on his body slowly picked up those hands. After the broken ends were fitted together, the other arm on his back once again performed the "Blessing of Grace".

The broken wound began to heal and the arm gradually began to regain its function.

——This, this is really too much of a rip-off! Which bastard redesigned this dung monster?

——I really have to admit, Xiao Ge, you are incredibly strong now. Even I am beginning to want to try and get a few more hands to assist me.

No, no, I almost fell into the trap.

After drinking the Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle and recovering, Nepheli walked back to my side and said softly, "It seems that we have to find a way to deal with the praying hand first."

"In fact, among the arms I just cut off, there is one that can pray." I sighed, "Now it seems that there is more than one hand that can pray, or even worse, Xiao Ge's hands can all pray."

“…” Nepheli was speechless for a moment, and could only say with a little admiration, “As expected of a demigod with golden blood. If I took on so many hands, I would definitely not be able to control them all.”

“Yes… yes.”

Hmm? Can't control it?

Nepheli's words suddenly made me suspicious.

But before I could think about it, Nepheli reminded me: "It seems that his hands have recovered. Be careful, Zero... Let's rush together and see if we can completely suppress this guy. Don't let him keep using 'Blessing of Grace' to recover."

·····To be honest, it's very difficult.

Moreover, in addition to the blessing of grace, Greg's praying hands are constantly granting him the "Oath of the Golden Tree", which can increase his attack and defense power. In addition, Greg's body is probably grafted from a mountain goblin giant, so his toughness is quite high.

I'm afraid the two of us alone may not be enough to suppress Xiao Ge.

"Wait, Nepheli, let me think about it for a moment." I wanted to hold her back.

But Nepheli, holding two axes, walked forward: "He won't give us time... Zero, let me help you delay time."

Greg also sneered and said, "Now that you have seen the true power of a king, are you afraid and starting to retreat? Then kneel down! Bow down! I will make good use of your bodies and make them a part of me!"

"Wishful thinking!" Nefeli quickened her pace and attacked first.

I looked at Xiao Ge's huge body and numerous limbs, and sorted out the information in my mind as quickly as possible.

Think! Think quickly!

Hands are extremely complex and sophisticated organs in the human body.

Even characters in mythology are often said to have three heads and six arms.

For an average person, being able to control two arms with one head and coordinate with the whole body is already the limit. Even in the 21st century, technology can only barely reach this point - mechanical arms can complete a single task and cannot do whatever they want like humans.

So, how did Greg control so many hands?

If we can figure this out, it may be the key to breaking the deadlock!
