Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 362 Separation

Pollyanna was defeated.

Of course, it is easy to imagine that Water Bird Dance can be regarded as the strongest move of Water Flow Sword Technique, and it is also the Valkyrie's lifelong mastery, a trick that made countless Ah Ti scream.

Although Millicent's Water Bird Dance was no match for Marennia's, it was more than enough to deal with Pollyanna, who was wearing cloth armor and holding a dagger.

In the moment of being engulfed by the flash of swords and sabers, Pollyanna's dagger was knocked away, and she herself was holding her bleeding right wrist, with wounds as fine as cow hair all over her body, staring at Millicent with resentment.

"You lost, Pollyanna." Millicent put away the long sword calmly, and added, "Last time, you spared my life, so this time I will not take your life either."

"······Don't regret it!" Pollyanna said, picked up the dagger, and walked towards the long canyon road, limping.

Looking at Pollyanna's departing figure, I asked Millicent, "Is this really all right?"

——From the perspective of the game's plot, if Millicent can deal with Pollyanna now, it will relieve a lot of pressure when facing the remaining sisters at the Holy Tree in the future.

Millicent thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the city: "Well, I'll ask those noble knights to find Pollyanna to prevent her from getting into trouble."

——······I don’t think this is what I meant.

——Forget it. As expected, Mibao is just like that. He won’t do anything to kill everyone.

"······Wait for me here for a moment, Zero. After we're done, we'll set off for the Volcano Residence."

I sighed slightly and caught up with Millicent. "I'll go with you. By the way, I want to ask about what Pollyanna kept saying, that she cut off your arm... Millicent, do you remember what happened?"

"I... to be honest, I don't remember it very clearly." Millicent recalled and explained slowly, "Since I was born, the scarlet corruption has been wriggling in my body, and many memories have been engulfed and corroded by it... Every time the corruption disease breaks out in my body and I can't bear it anymore, I will lose consciousness and don't even remember what I did. However, only that time when my arm was cut off, I vaguely remember that I seemed to have killed someone, and then I was entangled by several forces similar to myself... I thought it was an illusion, a mental interference from the scarlet corruption that wanted to completely corrode me, so I fought with all my strength until my arm was cut off... Now that I think about it carefully, those forces should actually be here to stop my Pollyanna and her sisters."

It turned out to be the case.

I thought of the Red Spirit of Millicent whom I had met in the Ionian swamps, near the town of Selia.

Perhaps, that was the afterimage left by Millicent's desperate struggle against the scarlet corruption even when she was driven to death.

However, according to Millicent herself, she had been tortured by the scarlet corruption to the point of being unconscious, and she regarded everything that approached as a concrete illusion of corruption that was corroding and tormenting her, so the red spirit took the initiative to attack.

We found those noble knights in Sunshade City, and they quickly agreed to Millicent's request.

"If Pollyanna doesn't plan to return to Gaileed and wants to continue to the forbidden snowfield in the north, then take her to the vicinity of Windmill Village to find a golden masked man and Colin. We will meet there then." Millicent said, "I will take you back to the sacred tree as well."

"... Let's just meet at the bridgehead of the Broken Bridge through the Forest, because the Golden Mask and Teacher Colin may not stay there forever." I reminded the other party.

"Ah."

After leaving Sunshade City, I said goodbye to the noble knights in the woods. Looking at the three big sisters limping away to look for someone, I suddenly felt a little worried. Even if they find Pollyanna, they would be led around by that willful girl... I hope nothing serious happens.

I summoned Torret, and with the help of the soul's rising cyclone, he helped Millicent and I fly to the rock wall next to the jungle and return to the road where the sinners were transferred.

The light of blessing was swaying slightly at the opposite intersection.

However, the suspension bridge connecting the two cliffs still appears to be cut off.

——As expected, we can’t wait for the real world to refresh its map.

——What should we do if we can’t get through the Gemir volcano from here?

An idea suddenly struck me, and I summoned a hook and a long rope from my blessed backpack, then threw them hard to the other side!

whoosh-

Bang bang!

Watching the hook fall perfectly into the cliff, damn, the distance is still not enough.

——Which bastard messed up the situation and blocked the only way to the Volcano Residence? !

However, if you think about it carefully, the situation between the Volcano Residence and the Royal City of Rodel is now at a disadvantage, so finding someone to cut off the support is a very common strategy.

After all, even in the game, the stone bridge leading to the gate of the Volcano Mansion was cut off abruptly, let alone this small wooden suspension bridge.

I stood at the top of the cliff, feeling quite helpless.

Looking towards the southwest, it turned out that I had to go around in a big circle to reach the Volcano Residence?

Go up the hill near the golden tree, cross the boiling river and keep going forward. After passing a molten lizard and a hermit village, you can go around to the first rest stop of the Rodel Army, and then go to the Volcano Mansion from there.

Just thinking about it, the road seemed so long, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Millicent, it seems that we have to change the route."

"Okay." Millicent had no complaints.

However, it still felt a bit awkward to always have her riding the torrete with me.

First, it’s not easy to get there in time, and second, it’s too intimate.

When I was with Laya before, I could still treat the little snake as my niece, but Mibao is different.

She has both beauty and strength, and now she gently puts her arms around my waist, and we ride the horse together... As expected, this is the kind of scene that only appears in TV dramas where young lovers act out!

——If Meimei watches such live broadcasts every day, I’m worried that she will hold a handkerchief and cry in front of the screen!

After all, I seemed to have willfully postponed the time to enter the royal city and help her find her destiny, and I felt really bad about it.

I returned to the jungle leading to the Sunshade City and met another ghost rider on the way. Unfortunately, after defeating the guy on his back, the ghost horse also disappeared and could not be used as a mount.

I had no choice but to continue leading Millicent through the jungle until we came to the hill near the golden tree, where we stole another of Rodel's horses from the camp. The soldiers were so angry that they shouted loudly and chased us, even when we ran to the opposite hill without looking back.

Wuwuwu——

The sun was setting in the west, and water was splashing under the horses' hooves.

In the cold evening breeze, there seemed to be a faint sound of a horn, which made the Rodel soldiers stop in their tracks.

And in the dark ruins in front of him, he could vaguely see a reddish figure rowing a boat, slowly sailing in the dark shallow water.
