Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Watching Greg's huge body gradually dissipate, leaving only a small empty shell like a pupa, I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.

Countless golden lights swarmed towards me like moths attracted to fire.

He closed his eyes tiredly, and in the dark vision, the runes gathered into a golden ring, and then rippled like water waves, faintly forming the shape of four overlapping rings.

——Greek's Great Rune.

The Atais need to collect the Great Runes from at least three demigods and offer them to the Elden Ring in order to repair it and restore the corresponding order to the entire world.

Otherwise, people in the borderland who have received many blessings from the Ring will become like Greg, who becomes paranoid or even unreasonable because of something. People with unprecedented power will continue to wage wars to seize the Great Rune and power, pushing the world further towards collapse.

Now, there are still six Great Runes left - the demigods Lakad and Latan, the evil omens Mung and Mungot, the son of God Malenia, and the Great Rune of the Unborn, which belongs to the "Full Moon Queen" Lena, and is located in the magic academy in the middle of Lake Lienia across Stonewell.

Choosing the object to obtain also determines my future direction.

"What a beautiful battle, Zero." Nepheli walked over to my side, looking at Greg's remains and said, "Although Greg did something despicable that was humiliating to a warrior's dignity, he was indeed a formidable opponent."

"Yeah." I raised my head and said to Nefeli with a faint smile, "This time it's all thanks to you, Nefeli. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how to deal with this guy."

Nepheli couldn't help but smile. "I should also say this to you, Zero. Thanks to you for coming up with a plan to break the impasse. If it was just me, I probably wouldn't be able to hurt Greg at all."

——No no no, Nie Nie. You don't know how high the output of your "Lightning Storm" is. It's not a big problem for you to fight Xiao Ge in the game by yourself.

But if I keep trying to be humble, there will be no end to it, so I just lie down on the ground and say, "Anyway, Greg finally got what he deserved. I'm also dead tired, so I just want to go to sleep right now."

"You can't sleep yet, Zero." Nepheli pointed in the direction of the square, "The people outside are still fighting for you, right?"

"Oh gosh, I almost forgot!" I quickly sat up.

——Subconsciously, I treated it as a game. After dealing with Greg, I immediately sat down to rest and upgrade. I even forgot about the brothers who helped me buy time in the square!

Nepheli also reached out and pulled me.

"Nefeli, do me another favor and come with me to the square outside to declare our victory!" I suggested. Of course, I was more worried that those exiles would not give up, and would still want to fight to the death even if Greg fell.

...If that's the case, wouldn't bringing Nepheli with her also put her in danger?

However, I didn't think so much at that time. After seeing Nepheli nodded in agreement, I looked around, took off Xiao Ge's crown from his forehead, and ran towards the central square of Stonewell.

It was still a bustling scene there.

The most conspicuous person was naturally Hertok, who stood alone in the main road. One man could block the passage of ten thousand. Even the Lion Guards called from the main gate of Stonewell could not break through the defense of the Crucible Knights. The mountain giant fell in the middle of the square early, preventing more exiles from running in.

Roger was as nimble as a ghost. He moved freely among the crowd in the disguise of an exile, constantly creating chaos.

"Hertok!" I ran over quickly.

"Oh, you succeeded! Zero!" Hearing my voice, Hertok didn't even turn around, "Go, go and declare your victory!"

"No, it's our victory!" I quickly passed through the crowd, climbed onto the back of the mountain giant, then raised the crown in my hand and shouted, "All Stonewell soldiers listen! Your king, Golden Greg, has been defeated by me and the warrior Neferi Lu! Put down your weapons quickly and stop fighting in vain!"

Suddenly, the field became even more noisy.

"W-what? King Greg was defeated by someone?!"

“...No, it’s impossible. That king is so terrifying and powerful. How can a mere Fader defeat him?”

"I, I recognize this guy's face! Last night, he was the one who defeated the monsters in the dining hall by himself, and even defeated the Crucible Knight and won over the other side!"

——······Roger, you are exaggerating! I don't have the confidence to beat Hertog!

But his words did have a great effect. Many people stopped what they were doing and looked carefully at me and the crown in my hand.

"He, he is holding the crown of King Greg!"

"Did he really defeat Greg?! He's a demigod!"

Bang!

One person voluntarily laid down his weapon.

Then, the sound spread like a bursting dam, and almost all the exiles quickly laid down their weapons.

After all, after they were recruited by Greg, they also lived in fear every day - as the number of Faded Ones captured decreased, Greg began to target people in the city; the city had been invaded by Faded Ones one after another in the past few days, so Greg naturally kept putting pressure on them and was already exhausted.

Now, the biggest stone above their heads has been moved away by Nepheli and I, and the exiles feel that there is no need to continue fighting, so they might as well choose to surrender.

when--

when--

when--

Amid the wind, there was the melodious sound of an ancient bell ringing, as if conveying to the entire Stonewell the message that the battle was over.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed there was no need to worry. The exiles were fighting to the death without knowing what was good for them.

I had just jumped off the back of the giant troll when suddenly a figure pounced towards me.

"Well done, Zero!" Roger excitedly hugged my shoulders. "You were so scared at the beginning, but you're really good at it when it comes to action!"

I opened his mouth with a little disgust and explained, "Actually, it was all thanks to Neferi. Without her help, Greg's power as a demigod would still be far beyond my imagination."

"Nefeli?" Roger turned his head and blurted out to Nefeli, "You are the ghost of the Storm King, right!"

"Wind, the ghost of the Storm King?" Nefeli obviously hadn't heard of the rumors about herself in Stonewell, and her face was full of confusion.

At this time, Hertok also came over.

"Zero, and this warrior named Nepheli, I believe you have experienced a very exciting battle!" He actually smiled and said, "When you are free in the next period of time, please tell us in detail."

"Eh? This, this is a bit embarrassing~" I touched my head shyly.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Roger put his arm around my shoulder. "Challenging a demigod is an extremely glorious thing. As a warrior, how can you be ashamed to talk about your glory? You should cover it up as if the victory was dishonorable."

——Although, we were indeed two against one, which was not very glorious.

Well, what does it matter? Xiao Ge is a demigod. With a human body, he can challenge the power of gods. What's wrong with two against one?

Let’s have a good chat tonight!

······Of course, please give me some meat and water. After I relaxed, I felt like I was starving to death!
