Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 534: The Holy Tree Stage, Come if You Are Ordered

Michaela's sacred tree is said to be an ideal pure land that can accommodate everything in the world.

The people who came to follow the Holy Son were all different kinds of people, but without exception, they were all very enthusiastic. Even a newcomer like me, the Faded One, was warmly welcomed by them.

woo-

The sound of welcoming horns rose and fell. On the branches of the holy tree, those chubby oracle messengers who looked like snowmen summoned one oracle bubble after another, which floated towards me.

All around, there was a continuous buzzing sound of wings, and there were also endless streams of big scarlet ants. There were also many winged guys who kept charging towards me with their tail stings erect.

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

The firepower soared to its maximum level, and the hurricane's wild dance turned into a barrier, blocking some of the oracle bubbles, and also burned the stinky ants that attacked rashly. They flapped their flaming wings and fell under the tree.

I exerted a little more strength, let the flame condense onto the blade, and then swung it forward suddenly.

Combat skill - Fiery Storm Slash.

The fire dragon bared its fangs and roared, tearing through the defenses that blocked my way.

woo-

There was another rapid and sharp horn sound. I saw golden oracle bubbles growing rapidly around me in front of the road, like mushrooms on a tree or inflated balloons.

I had to quickly use the hound pace to rush through the golden bubble area before the continuous explosions.

But there were too many oracles here, and so were the bubbles they summoned. My last two steps were still affected, and I was blown away. I quickly poked the night fire into the tree trunk to force the brakes, but it almost made me fall off the branch.

——That was a close call.

Whoosh whoosh—

Those ants seemed to be somewhat afraid of my flames. They raised their tails like scorpions and suddenly sprayed a stream of scarlet water at me.

I quickly dodged away.

The formic acid water fell to the ground, immediately emitting a pungent burnt smell and corroding a hole in the branch.

This power is much greater than that in the game!

If I had been careless just now, I would have melted into a bloody body by now.

Combat skills——Wolf Attack Blood Dance!

I quickly approached an ant and swung my knife at it, blowing half of its head off. Then, I quickly jumped up, stepped on its body, and chopped down the oncoming guy with my knife, cutting its upper body in half.

After dealing with several giant scarlet ants in succession, there was finally a gap in the road ahead.

Prayer - Dragon Thunder Shelter by Lance Shanks.

I quickly gave myself a status buff, and then used the hound step again. The knife flashed with lightning, and I quickly shuttled through the ant colony, causing them to lose limbs and fly everywhere, as if I was in an empty space.

Wuwuwu——

Suddenly, a majestic horn sounded ahead. When I looked up, I saw clusters of oracle bubbles coming towards me like a big net.

It was on another branch of the tree that the huge King of Mixue Ice City blew a horn as big as a banana fan leaf and sounded the attack.

If you just dodge, you will inevitably be affected by the explosion, and if you are not careful, you might even fall off the tree.

Best of all, shoot them all down!

I took a stance and focused the power of thunder onto the blade.

Combat skill——Thunder God Killing Gun!

boom--

As the red thunder flashed in the opposite direction, I pierced through the big bubbles one after another and they exploded in mid-air. The remaining few also scattered around me. The wind wave from the explosion only blew up my shoulder straps and did not cause any major damage.

The Snow King took a look, raised his head, took a deep breath, and prepared to launch another round of bubble attack.

boom--

"Blow, blow, blow, I told you to blow!" I fired a shot of the Thunder God Killing Gun at him without any hesitation. Even though it didn't puncture his big belly, it made him stumble and fall on the thick branch.

buzzing-

Huh? Those damn big scarlet ants are here again. Why are there so many of them?

I quickly ran to the end of the branch at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Oh, I found it! I went down the stairs to Holy Tree Town, held the ladder with both hands, clamped my legs from the outside, and descended to the bottom at the fastest speed.

During this journey, those stinky ants were still chasing me closely. Those with wings, of course, but even those without wings fell directly from above and landed on the ground. After twitching a few times, they were able to stand up.

Fortunately, the next blessing point was just around the corner. I used my fire-related combat skills to burn them all into roasted ants, emitting a crispy and fragrant aroma from the inside out.

He clapped his hands, walked into the pavilion, and touched the blessing point to restore all his status.

I looked outside the pavilion, but I didn't see any trace of Millicent and the others along the way. I didn't know how far the Holy Tree Sisters had progressed. I had to catch up with them as soon as possible.

Take a short break and then set off.

I clenched Nightfire and walked out the door. I had just walked down a ladder when, as expected, a hybrid jumped up from the blind spot of another ladder, holding a machete high up, and came down at my head.

I dodged sideways.

This guy rolled on the ground, as if consciously blocking my way back to the pavilion, and at the bottom of the stairs, two other hybrids blocked my way.

"Roar!" Immediately afterwards, another roar came from above his head.

When I looked up, I saw the face of a lion hybrid, with its bloody mouth wide open and a greatsword swung at me.

I had no choice but to flip forward and climb directly from the corridor to the small platform below.

——Oh my god, could it be that the movement in the tree canopy just now has affected here?

——Such an encirclement obviously required early warning!

The lion hybrid failed in its surprise attack, so it turned its head, raised its greatsword with both hands, and leaped towards me to chop it.

I had no choice but to continue dodging, and the other hybrids immediately double-teamed me.

——You have more people, but I am a brave man and I will not suffer a loss. The thirty-six strategies are to escape!

I slid out from under a leaping and slashing hybrid and got out of the encirclement. As I stood up, I struck a Fiery Storm behind me, forcing back the ordinary hybrid.

And that lion hybrid was really fierce. It chopped off my flames with one sword, roared loudly, and chased after me with red eyes.

——Is this the value of the sacred tree?

I didn't dare to stay and quickly ran forward.

—Wait, I remember this side downstairs.

"Ahem!" Another Saproling Immortal pounced out from the blind spot of the shadow, forcing me to stop my steps quickly. I almost pushed him to the bottom of the corridor, and I would have died.

Just as I was delayed, the lion hybrid behind me caught up with me and swung the greatsword towards my waist with all its might.

I was already leaning backwards due to the brakes, and when I saw this, I fell backwards even more, letting the blade scrape my nose. I lay on the stairs, avoiding the blow.

——Oh my god, my nose hurts a little. Could it be that I got cut again?

However, apparently because of excessive force, the lion hybrid's greatsword got stuck directly on the wood of the sacred tree. After all, the entire sacred tree town was built against the trunk of the sacred tree.

--good chance!

While the other party was still drawing his sword, I quickly continued to run forward.

You have to be careful when entering the door of the wooden house on this side. There is also a saproling immortal inside, waiting for you. Look.

I dodged Lao Liu's insidious attack just in time and was about to enter.

But inside the house, a scaly hybrid was holding a long-handled axe that almost blocked the entire room, and was about to block the door.

As soon as he saw me, this guy also shouted hello enthusiastically.

Behind me, the lion hybrid had already drawn his greatsword, and was approaching me with another hybrid.

I glanced around and saw no choice but to climb over the wall.

After all, a house built against a tree trunk cannot be too high, and the one in front of you only has one floor.

Combat skill——Reverse Storm Foot!

I asked Hurricane to lift me up and I jumped hard, then I flipped over. Then, I quickly ran to the other side and jumped hard!

thump—

Oh my god, this place is as high as a three-story building. After all, there are several stairs to walk from inside. I just jumped down like this, and it was so trembling that my feet were numb.

But the next second, a white glow like dandelion seeds floated around my feet.

A prayer—Miranda's prayer?!

——Yes, there are several Corrupted Miranda flowers planted under the platform over here.

Behind me, those hybrids were still chasing me. Although I had some feeling in my legs, I could only endure the numbness like insect bites and quickly continued to run forward.

After passing through another long loaf-like wooden house, a small circular square appeared in front of us.

The winged hybrid at the exit of the square saw this and immediately flew up, blocking my way.

The lion hybrid that was kneeling in front of a twin statue also realized my intention and immediately picked up the sword and held it tightly.

Behind him, the hybrids that were chasing him kept roaring.

——Ah, I’ve had enough, please, can you please stop being so enthusiastic! ?
