Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 569 Enemies meet on a narrow road

"Hahaaah—Ha!" The storm rolled up golden lightning, blocking the dragon orc's boomerang. Nepheli jumped up with double axes in hand, roared, and chopped at a burly dragon orc holding a broken greatsword.

boom--

Red lightning suddenly fell from the clear sky, forcing her to dodge.

I found the guy hiding behind the stone pillar and quietly released the Dragon Thunder Prayer. I immediately used the Hound Step and charged forward.

Seeing that he had been exposed, the other party quickly jumped down from behind the stone pillar, trying to escape and change his position.

But the iron fist, with burning flames, suddenly soared into the air like a rocket.

Alexander's Rising Dragon Fist hit the dragon orc in mid-air, causing him to fall directly out of the broken corridor and into Fam Azra's storm.

Looking back, Nepheli had already completely killed the orc who was exactly the same as the BOSS in the Jinlin Cave with her double axes. Even the guy who threw the boomerang from behind was forced into a dead corner by her. He fell to the ground with golden arcs of electricity all over his body.

"In this way, this area has been cleaned up." She picked up the axe and walked back.

"Well, there should be one last one."

"Oh? Anything else?"

I nodded and led Nefeli, Alexander, and Roderica toward a terrace in the corridor of the broken Dragon Church.

There, the pale ancient dragon fell to the ground like a stone sculpture, its head and neck broken into several pieces.

In front of this dead ancient dragon, there was a sword and shield furnace, also standing like a sculpture, motionless.

The last time I passed by this terrace, I also remembered that I seemed to have to jump down from the right side of the terrace to find the next blessing point on a roof, and then follow the road here to get to the "Black Sword" Malicus.

However, I was still fighting guerrilla warfare with several dragon orcs at the time. If I had gone forward rashly and been surrounded by the Furnace Knights and the orcs from the front and back, I would have been in big trouble.

——Maybe it’s the shadow left by the game. Every time I meet a super tough dog like Sword and Shield Crucible, I feel inexplicably scared.

"I didn't expect that there is also a Crucible Knight in Fam Azra?" Nefeli was also quite surprised.

However, unlike me, she strode into the terrace with two axes in hand and asked loudly, "I am the warrior Neferi Lu. May I ask your name, knight?"

Like a robot, the knight turned around and raised his sword and shield: "The lightless evildoer, is he really here?"

"Ok?"

"You dare to touch the fire, burn the sacred tree, and trespass into this forbidden place. Your crime is unforgivable!" As he said this, the Sword and Shield Furnace raised his big shield and rushed forward.

I quickly protected Roderica behind me and said, "Be careful, Roderica, something is wrong, find a place to hide for a while."

Alexander laughed: "Hahaha, you really want to fight after all? All right! All right! I am Alexander the Iron Fist, an ancient knight, and I hope you can teach me something!"

Having said that, he even passed through Nepheli and ran forward.

"Hey, wait a minute, Brother Hu, maybe he knows Hertok and the others!" After all, they are all melting pots, and I thought maybe we could have a good chat.

Roderica carefully pulled my shoulder strap and said, "Lord Ling, there is still a fire aura on that knight... He may have been bewitched."

—Fire? Crazy fire?

——The madman has indeed been here.

Nefeli also sighed: "Then there is nothing we can do. Let's end this quickly!"

She raised her double axes and rushed forward, while Alexander, facing the Hundred Phases of Fire released by the Crucible Knight, raised his arms and suddenly delivered a heavy punch.

The opponent naturally put up a shield to block the attack.

Nepheli's double axes were already flashing with arcs of light, like a golden thunderbolt, stepping over Alexander and falling straight down towards the opponent.

"Rodlika, be careful." I no longer hesitated, raised the Night Fire, summoned Lance Shanks's Dragon Thunder Protection, and quickly flashed to the side of the Crucible Knight.

While the opponent was still defending against Nepheli's attack, I launched the hound step, and I slashed with my sword like a bolt of lightning, flashing past the side of the furnace, causing the golden light of rune on his body to splash everywhere.

The other party also raised his foot and suddenly slammed the floor, causing everything around him to shatter and shake.

Nepheli and I both rolled away, but Alexander was even more powerful. While he was standing firmly on his feet, his fist condensed the flames of Mount Gmir and he threw a charged Rising Dragon Fist directly at the Furnace Knight.

Seeing this, the opponent quickly took a step back to avoid the attack, and at the same time spread out the Wings of the Furnace and soared into the air.

After slightly adjusting the direction, he held up his sword and rushed straight towards Nepheli.

But Nepheli had no intention of dodging at all.

She took a horse stance, stood firmly on her feet, and swung her double axes, summoning storms and golden thunder, directly facing the opponent's dive attack from the front.

At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, Nepheli turned her body and dodged the opponent's sharp blade as much as possible, then struck the side of the Crucible Knight with both axes, directly chopping him away and crashing into the feet of the ancient dragon's corpse.

"Well done, Nepheli!" I couldn't help but cheer. At the same time, I had already taken my position and jumped high into the air.

Combination combat skills——Red Thunder Blood Moon Slash!

The scarlet blood moon, with the power of thunder, hit the Crucible Knight who had no time to dodge. This was my strongest attack, which directly shattered his breastplate and released a large amount of golden Rune light.

“······Malicus······I’m sorry, I couldn’t····” The Crucible Knight dropped his arms, and his entire body turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind.

With a sigh of relief, I put away the night fire and said to my companions, "Come on, go this way."

Jump down from the side of the terrace and find the blessing point on the roof of the Dragon Church.

Continuing forward, I suddenly heard the sharp cries of eagles. Several eagles as big as humans flew out from some corner, raised their sharp claws, and were about to scratch people.

——But we have the current Storm King here, so don’t underestimate him!

Nepheli and I simultaneously rolled up the power of the storm, causing the eagles to lose their balance in mid-air and fall to the ground. We easily killed them with a few strikes of our swords.

"Lord Zero! There!" Roderica suddenly pointed forward.

Perhaps it was the Storm Eagle's restlessness that attracted the attention of others.

On the overpass across from us, there appeared an unforgettable figure: "Master Zero?!"

"Melina!" I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

The wind blew her curly hair, and her golden eyes, like mine, were filled with a hint of unexpected surprise and immense joy of reunion.

——Great! Melina is fine after all! There is still time for everything!

But, right behind Melina, the annoying figure appeared as expected.

“······You finally came, Zero.” Under the other person’s messy hair, his red-gold eyes were indifferent and cold, without a trace of ripples, as if everything was already within his expectations.

"Bernard!" I gritted my teeth.

At this moment, amidst the sound of Fam Yazra’s wind, there was a faint sound of heart-wrenching roar: “Roar, ah, ah, ah—”
