Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 587: The Dragon King's Vision

"Melina!" I found Melina and ran over.

——Oh, some of them are too heartless! Then I remembered my little Mu Mu.

But the main reason was that Edgar showed up too suddenly, and it was with his help that the Lord of Madness was completely sealed. I forgot in my surprise that Melina did not turn into a spirit and return to me.

······Forget it, stop making excuses, you are just heartless.

I apologized to Edgar and ran to find Melina.

Because the King of Madness Fire was sealed, the flames on her body had also subsided.

But Melina seemed unconscious.

I quickly picked her up and called out anxiously: "Melina, Melina, wake up, Melina?!"

And there was no response.

I don’t know if it was because she was a spirit made up of runes, or for some other reason, but the flames seemed to have consumed all her strength, and Melina felt terribly cold.

"Melina, don't scare me." I was so anxious that I almost cried.

By the way, let's leave this gap in time and space first, and after finding the blessing point, feed Melina some Holy Grail Dew. Since her spirit has not dissipated, it means that Melina should be fine.

"Wait a moment, Melina." I closed my eyes and silently chanted the blessing and teleportation spell in my mind.

A cool and refreshing breeze suddenly blew across my face, and then a soft voice came from Melina in my arms: "Woo——"

"Melina!" I quickly opened my eyes.

I saw a faint magical light penetrate into Melina's brows. She slowly opened her eyes, and her tightly knitted brows relaxed. Her dry lips responded and called my name: "Master Ling... As expected, you won?"

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I smiled: "Well, I won. The rage has been suppressed by Michaela's golden needles. We succeeded."

"That's great." Melina finally smiled.

"Yeah, great."

“······Lord Ke Ling, why are you crying?” She slowly raised her hand, as if she wanted to wipe away my tears.

——Did I cry? That's too embarrassing.

"Silly girl." I couldn't help but grab Melina's hand and scolded her, "You're the one who scared me. I thought, I thought..."

"Roar——" At this moment, in the center of the storm, in the crack of time and space, the roar of a dragon suddenly sounded.

Dark clouds rolled, and red lightning flashed again.

Amidst the raging winds, the Dragon King Platonsanks descended again.

I couldn't help but sigh in annoyance: "This guy, Dragon King, can't read the air at all! Why did he have to come back at this time?"

"...After all, we are just borrowing His place. Now that we have successfully sealed the Mad Fire, it is time to return it." Melina smiled helplessly, "Master Ling, could you please help me for a while?"

"Yeah, of course." I helped Melina up and walked towards the Dragon King Platon Shanks.

The Dragon King was still as arrogant as ever, with his two big heads raised in the air and golden light shining in his eyes.

"Lord Dragon King." Melina thanked Platon Sanx on my behalf, "Thank you for letting us have this gap in time and space to deal with and seal that crazy fire man. Now that the matter is over, we will leave now."

"······This matter is not urgent, daughter of Marika." Platon Shanks actually tried to keep us.

However, his majestic gaze was falling on the mad fire witch Heida and Edgar.

I quickly explained, "Lord Dragon King, although the father and daughter have some conflicts, they should have little to do with Dianhuo. I will take them away in a while."

"No problem," said Platton Shanks, and his eyes fell on Haida, and he seemed to glare at her for a moment.

A faint golden glow spreads.

Haida, who was still resisting Edgar's approach, suddenly stopped and fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Lord Dragon King?!"

Platon Shanks explained, "Don't worry. When the girl's soul returned to the tree, she was bewitched by the flames and became a witch. I just restored the events of the peninsula for her. Whether she believes it or not is entirely up to her."

······As expected of the Dragon King, Platonsanks can actually do such a thing?

As if his mind had been read, Platon Shanks said to me, "I was once the King of Elden, sitting in the cracks of time and space, so I naturally know something about the power of [time]. Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning."

"Wow, that's amazing." I couldn't help but exclaim.

——However, this also means that the Dragon King is in a good mood now, right? Otherwise, there is no need for Him to care about the affairs of Edgar and his daughter.

And now, His two huge heads are staring at me closely, making me afraid to move.

"...Son of Man, Zero." Platon Sanx suddenly spoke, "I ask, you came from another world, why are you so obsessed with this world?"

——Sure enough, this guy just now used the omnipotence of time to read my past?

I thought in silence for a while, and then said honestly, "Persistence? Actually, I didn't think so much at the beginning. I was brought to this world in a daze, and even saving my own life is a huge problem. Surviving is hard enough, but..."

Glancing at Melina beside me, I couldn't help but smile and said, "However, there is a girl who has always been by my side, encouraging me and believing that I can change the world... Moreover, along the way, I have met many like-minded people who are also fighting for their own dreams in this terrible world. It made me think that since I have some power, I might as well give it a try to see how long I can struggle in such a world and whether I can make this world a little better... Unknowingly, I have come to this day."

The Dragon King is still staring at me, and Melina is also looking at me, which makes me feel a little embarrassed.

I quickly cleared my throat, ready to end the topic: "In short, in short, try to do as much as you can. After all, I hate a world full of bitterness and hatred. At least, for the people around me, I want them to be happier and more cheerful, and I don't want to let them down... Maybe this is my obsession."

"...You and her [good] side are very similar." Platon Shanks commented after listening to my thesis defense, "It's a pity that [evil] has blinded you and [good] has been distorted... The beast doesn't understand human feelings, and doting has turned into a cage, which has inflated the bubble of [eternity]."

What Platon Shanks said made me confused, what good, what evil... But, could that beast refer to the Elden Beast? After all, Platon Shanks also said that he was the king of Elden, and perhaps he had seen the Elden Beast riding on a meteor.

But what does it mean when doting turns into a cage?

Hard to understand.

After the riddle was finished, the riddle teller did not reveal the answer, but continued: "Go, son of man, tell the divine beast your thoughts, go and change its mind, go and change the world outside... If fate really favors you, I also hope you can help me with something, Zero."

Unexpectedly, the Dragon King Platon Shanks was so polite and even used the word "hope" to me!

However, before I could be surprised for long, He suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar, and the red lightning swallowed up everyone in the space-time rift in an instant.
