Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 304: Muzan, Minotaur

I actually saw the golden Rune light, which, along with the dissipating silver-gray mist, gathered towards me from the teardrop replica that I had cut in half. At the same time, two new items were added to my blessing backpack: a teardrop larva and a silver teardrop mask.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief and put away the Night Starfire.

I finally understood the reason for the crisis of human intelligence. The learning ability of the mimetic teardrop is comparable to that of AI. It only takes a moment for it to imitate the moves I use very closely.

If the last two moves hadn’t killed the opponent directly, I might have been helpless if someone imitated me again.

Now that I think about it, from a certain perspective, am I a genius?!

——I started out by boxing with the teardrop replica and pretending to be stupid, which made it think that my strength was not as good as the opponent I had fought before, so it turned into Cab Milana.

——If it imitated my Kalia Knight suit, it would be hard to say whether the Molten Hurricane Ball would be broken through by the Copycat Tear using the falling momentum of the Wolf Attack.

Hahaha, forget it, forget it, let’s stop bragging about ourselves.

After defeating the BOSS, the blessed light also fell from the starry sky. I took a short rest, quickly summoned Torret, and ran to the other side of the long bridge.

After all, that Knox Swordsman deliberately let me come here, most likely because he wanted to use me as a stepping stone for the evolution and growth of the Mimic Teardrop.

Because, according to Letina's previous description and my personal understanding, the replicant teardrops were made based on the king of the goddess with the night-colored eyes, just like Queen Marika's king Gefulei.

If that guy found out that I had won, he would immediately call over those crazy Fallen Eagle soldiers to devour me until I was completely eaten.

There was no obstacle on the way forward.

However, what is quite puzzling is that I was unable to find the Dark Realm of Noklongn!

——In the game, the area that looks like a cathedral should be on the left side of this long bridge?

But now, there was only a starry night sky, without even the slightest outline of a building. This was hard to accept for a while.

——What about my huge Noklon? Will it be destroyed by the shockwaves of the meteorite?

But there is no trace of ruins at the bottom of the abyss.

It seems that we can only find the blessed light at the edge of the Ancestral Forest first. After it is lit, Noklongn may also appear. After all, this is a world of magic.

By the way, a corner of the night sky on the right is particularly eye-catching red, like a red spiral nebula, but it is not rotating. After all, this is just a fake starry sky.

And under the starlight, one can vaguely see a castle towering on the cave rock that looks like a mountain - Monger's Blood Dynasty, the Rune Bank that the Asi people love the most.

Come to think of it, I didn't see Van Lei during the war in Lienia.

······It was clear that Blood Finger had joined forces with Dujuan, but he was nowhere to be seen.

If Fan Lei's branch line is broken, we won't be able to withdraw money from the Blood Bank in the early stage, which is really a pity.

I found a gap in the long bridge and drove the Torret down the hillside.

Next, keep going forward along the cliff on the left, and you will find the Blessed Light, which is the entrance to the Dark Realm in Nokron.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, I heard a tearing sound in the air, which made me subconsciously clamp Torret's waist and abdomen to make it move forward and speed up. At the same time, I quickly lowered my body and fell on the other's back.

I saw an arrow with a fluorescent green light actually pierced the wall of the cliff.

I was slightly stunned, and then I immediately understood who the attacking opponent was.

——They are the ancestral spirits living on this land!

These guys are strong and dark-skinned, with long horns like those of cows or deer on their heads. It is said that they rejected the civilization bestowed by the two fingers, believed in the belief of nature and soul, and regarded tools such as iron as filth.

In other words, these guys can be regarded as the primitive people on the border area.

——But why did you suddenly attack me for no apparent reason?

Besides, I chose the route close to the cliff just to avoid them!

"Neigh!" Torrett suddenly let out a roar.

I saw several sturdy minotaurs appearing from the corner of the cliff in front of us, holding axes made of animal bones, and blocking our way.

Several ancestral spirits also walked out of the forest nearby, holding bows and arrows, and the flashing lights were aimed at me.

Seeing that I was surrounded, a minotaur with an axe made of what looked like a large deer antler stood up and shouted to me: "Moo! Moo! Moo!"

——······I have no idea what you are saying. Aren’t you just the mooing of a cow?

My eyelids fluttered slightly.

Perhaps because he saw that I was unmoved, the other party spoke even more fiercely: "Moo! Moo! Moo! Moo!"

“······Moo? Moo wooo.” I casually imitated the words of the ancestral bull head, and then I heard the sound of an arrow, which startled Torret and he raised his horse's hoof.

——Communication is completely impossible, and the other party is full of hostility.

Never mind, just go!

I pulled the reins and drove Torret forward. At the same time, I swung the knife with my right hand, infusing it with runes and causing the blade to ignite with flames.

"Don't block my way!" Torret squeezed his legs together and made two jumps, jumping over the heads of those ancestral spirits. At the same time, he swung the flaming blade downwards, forcing back the guys who wanted to get closer.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several more streaks of green light shot towards me. I didn't have time to raise my shield to defend myself, so I could only swing my sword to block.

boom!

It was such a heavy shot that the palm of my hand holding the sword felt like it had been bitten by a wolf.

——Recalling the text introduction of the game, the arrows of the ancestral people are said to contain the spirits of small animals, allowing experienced hunters to easily hit the target from a hundred steps away.

——In the past, in the game, if I wasn’t paying attention, I would be shot by these guys from a distance and turned into a fluorescent hedgehog.

Fortunately, after Torret landed, his compatriots separated him from the hunters in the direction of the forest, so the second round of arrows did not come.

But the guys that Torrett jumped over their heads won't let us go easily.

The leading minotaur mooed loudly, and four or five guys came after me and Torret at big strides.

But, I have found the blessed light at the edge of the cliff!

As long as I touch the blessing, unlock the seal of Noklongn, and break into it, these ancestral bull-headed men will naturally not chase me anymore... Well, even if they insist on chasing me, I am confident that I can shake them off in the winding, maze-like eaves area of ​​the divine domain!

——I imagined it so optimistically.

Torrett naturally obeyed my order and ran towards the blessing with all his strength.

Arrived!

I quickly and directly jumped off the horse, took back Torret, and rolled forward to relieve the force, touching the light of blessing.

Reveal, the Eternal City, Noklong!

······

——Huh? Where is my city?

In front of me, the end of the cliff is still a dark night sky, and the shining fake stars are like eyes, staring at me like a mocking eye. It's irritating.

——Where on earth did Noklon go?!

I was at a loss for a moment, and the voices of the ancestors sounded again behind me: "Moo!"

——Are you annoying?

I turned around in annoyance, swung my sword and swept it across. The surging flames were like a wave, swallowing up the approaching enemies, but I didn't expect these guys to raise their strong arms and rely on their strong bodies to continue charging towards me with their heads down.

This threw me into a state of confusion. I was just about to use my Storm Feet to control the hurricane, and then unleash my fighting skill - Bloody Wolf Howl - to force back the enemies who were surrounding me.

But three or four axes had already fallen on my head.

——It is definitely not possible to withstand a wave of attacks relying on the strength of one person alone.

So, I quickly swung the big black knife over my head and swung it hard at the lower bodies of the spirits on the opposite side. While forcing them away, I also did a backflip to create some distance.

Combat Skills - Hound Sword Skills - Part One.

Just as I was preparing to gain some distance and make adjustments, I didn't expect that a fearless guy actually took my sweeping blow and rushed towards me directly.

thump—

——Oh no!

The moment I fell, I realized something was wrong.

After all, behind me is endless darkness and a bottomless abyss!

And at this moment, I am also falling into this abyss!

--how······

"Eh-"

Without waiting for my summons, Torrett actually appeared from the spiritual whistle under me with his own consciousness, made two jumps in the air, created a gray-blue ripple, and brought me back to the cliff.

Relax, no, you can't relax yet.

I swallowed and turned my eyes away. In this narrow mountain path, those ancestral minotaurs had surrounded Torret and me.

"Mooooo——"

——It’s over. I’m completely desperate now. This is going to lead to the A-Tai Muzan incident. So sad.
