Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 458: Wave after wave, busty!

Yushlo Samir, who I held a knife to his neck, said coldly and angrily: "Since I lost the duel, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, no matter how high-sounding your words are."

"In other words, you admit that you lost?" I caught the flaw in the other party's words.

This made Yu Shuluo silent for a while.

I smiled as well and put away the Night Star Fire. "I just said it. After we win the duel, as long as you Samir people let us go, we won't make things too difficult for you... In addition, I am also on good terms with the current King of Blessing. After we light the cauldron of fire, I will ask the King of Blessing to help you rebuild this ruin. How do you think?"

After saying that, I extended my hand to the other person.

Yushu Luo still stared at me, but the fierceness in his eyes was gone: "What good will this do you?"

"Does it have to be beneficial... Although a long time has passed and many things have been settled, there is still room for remedy. Just like at the beginning, Yushuluo, you guys just drove us away, and you didn't intend to kill us all and continue the enmity, right?" I rolled my eyes and thought of another step, "Oh, by the way, our expedition team has come to this snowy plain for the first time. Although we have the Rune map, we don't understand many ecosystems. If, Yushuluo, you guys really want to give me some benefits, can you be our guide and lead the way?"

"..." Yushu Luo looked at me silently for a moment, then couldn't help but sighed, "You... are really weird. Who would turn around and reach out to the opponent they had just fought with swords? Aren't you afraid that I will cut you in secret?"

"Ok?"

He still held my hand and stood up.

Turning around, Yushulo shouted to the other Samir people, "I'm sorry, everyone. I lost. According to the agreement, no one should fight with the golden man. In addition, you stay to guard the village. I have to go with them to see if this group of people can be trusted."

——What he meant was that he agreed to lead the way for us.

"Thank you." I said with a smile.

“······But, what did you say you were doing in the snowy mountains?” While the team was still adjusting and preparing to move on, Yushuluo asked me.

I explained honestly: "We have to find the giant's cauldron and light the fire inside."

"Why light the fire? Wouldn't that threaten your sacred tree?"

"We are going to burn a part of the golden tree." I raised my head and looked at the dazzling holy tree that covered most of the sky. "The Thorn of Rejection is hindering us from repairing the Elden Ring. We have to burn it to restore the chaotic natural order of the border area and make it possible to develop further."

“...Hahahaha!” Yushuluo suddenly laughed, “Interesting! Really interesting! The person who came up with this idea is really a complete lunatic!”

After a pause, he continued, "However, this order does need to be revised... Didn't I say that just now? After being resurrected by the Eternal Blessing, I always feel that some of my power has been taken away. Moreover, more than that, there have been a series of stillborn babies in our village for a long time. Although the harsh environment is also one of the problems, but... perhaps, all this started when your queen smashed the Elden Ring."

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

When I was thinking about how to comfort Yushuluo, he had already returned to normal: "However, since you have come to the snowfield, you really need to find a guide. After all, the environment here is not as peaceful as your bottom. Not to mention, the wind and snow change, and there are often hungry birds of prey here..."

Before Yushuluo finished speaking, a clear eagle cry was heard in the sky.

Then, my team fell into chaos.

——What you say is what you do?!

Hold——

As soon as I turned my head, claws as sharp as knife tips came straight towards me, and I was so scared that I quickly shrank my head.

The pale storm eagle flew away with the wind, gliding and hovering in the air for a circle, and then swooped down again to attack.

Moreover, these guys are smarter than in the game. When they saw me draw my long sword, they quickly twisted in the air and grabbed the next target with one claw.

Ah, a bag of grain has been taken away from the carriage!

"Damn it! Archers, get ready!" I hurriedly gave the order.

Yushu Luo said, "Don't bother, Zero. You can use the power of the storm like me, right? As long as they come down at the moment--"

call--

A cold wind suddenly blew up from under Yushuluo's feet, and the storm eagle that rushed over suddenly seemed to be drunk. When it was almost in front of Yushuluo, it twisted its body and exposed its belly to Yushuluo.

He raised his hand and slashed with the knife, cutting open the other person's stomach.

"Storm eagles are good at flying with the help of wind. If we disrupt the flow of wind slightly, they will lose their composure." Yushuluo went on to explain.

"Oh! So that's it!" I was greatly educated. "Neferi!"

I was just planning to deal with these birds together with my Storm Wings so that we could have Storm Eagle stew tonight, but there was a sudden exclamation from the team behind me.

Looking back, I saw Laya revealing her true form as a snakeman, biting the flying storm eagle with lightning speed.

This scared the other eagles so much that they flapped their wings, turned around and flew away for their lives.

——But my little Laya, the Storm Eagle is not easy to eat raw, Paris, you should go and take care of her.

——By the way, is it really okay for you to reveal your true form now?

Although the Faded Ones probably won't be too resistant, there are also golden soldiers in the team. It seems I'll have to go back and explain things to them with Paris.

“... Hehe, there are some tough guys in your team.” Yushuluo was impressed. Then, he continued the previous topic. “In addition to these eagles, there are also ferocious wolves and giant bears on the snowfield. I remember there are also giant skeletons that cannot be killed when we go north. As for the giants, they should have been wiped out during the war, but their mountain monsters have been lingering around the cauldron... However, the ones you should be most wary of are probably the Flame Watchers.”

"Flame Watcher?"

Oh, I remember now, just opposite the Flame Cauldron, there is a Watcher Fortress filled with members of the Flame Order.

Yushulo also explained: "Yes, they are the Golden Tree fanatics who have stayed in the snowfield since the Giant War. They have lost some of their sanity by watching over the cauldron of fire day after day. It is best not to mention any words related to fire in front of them."

Phew——

While we were talking, Torrett suddenly neighed.

We saw that our team was marching into a narrow valley. At the end, a plump red figure appeared, holding a long whip, blocking the entire way.

Then, old women in red robes and holding thorny canes emerged one after another from both sides of the intersection.

These guys are exactly the Flame Watchers that Yushuluo just mentioned.

——Okay, okay, you’re here to say whatever you want, right?
