Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 200: Water Bird Dance

The next second after the red shadow soared into the air, in front of my eyes, I saw a large area of ​​knife light, which was drifting towards me like flying snow.

By the time he came to his senses, he had been thrown several meters away like a garbage bag.

His whole body was covered with knife wounds, as if he had rolled off an assembly line, and was in a bleeding state.

The pain in my head was so severe that it completely eliminated any senses, and my entire body seemed to have lost consciousness.

“Haa ...

The hollow and rapid gasps urged my subconscious to feed the Holy Grail bottle into my mouth. The warm spring water had just flowed over my chest when a golden halo descended from the sky.

I gritted my teeth and forced my limbs to turn my body over, thus avoiding Michaela's halo. But my side abdomen suddenly felt a sharp pain, and I almost couldn't breathe.

——Damn it, if I had been a second late, I would have been cut in half by this halo and turned into “2.5 zeros”.

All I can say is that fortunately, I didn't fall into the scarlet swamp, but was smashed under a withered and bent giant tree. There were clusters of rotten plants and huge mushrooms stacked up one after another. The rotten dust absorbed over the years had hardened and turned into a group of coral reefs on the seabed.

He quickly crawled to the back of the giant tree, and hurriedly drank the drops of red dew in the holy grail bottle, and only then did he barely regain his strength.

But I couldn't stop my body from trembling. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my throat and my hands and feet kept shaking.

——Water birds are dancing wildly.

The move is as its name suggests, as light as a water bird flying over the lake, but it dances with the blade, and the attack it brings is as random, crazy and suffocating as a violent storm.

——This can be said to be the most difficult combo attack to dodge in the Elden Ring.

——Until I was transferred to the real Elden Ring world, in the game, I failed nine times out of ten when dodging Marlennia's famous move at close range.

Although the red shadow before my eyes was not as sharp and accurate as Marlennia's, it had already opened the door in my heart that sealed the fear of death.

——What should I do? I don’t know if I can make it in time if I just run.

——Then again, why did I meet Millicent’s red spirit clone here?

In the real world, the red spirits in games like Nelius and Anastasia appear as real people, which made me think that there were no invading red spirits in this world.

But obviously, the guy in front of him was not Millicent's real body! Her hair was disheveled, her arms were intact, and every breath seemed to exude the bloody smell of killing.

Clap!

The opponent's footsteps had already stepped on the rotten mushrooms. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and then clenched the hound's fangs with both hands.

Just as the red shadow appeared from the side of the giant tree's foot, I raised my big curved sword high and slashed at the opponent: "Hah-ah--"

The opponent immediately took a step back, and I immediately swung my sword to the side.

——We must seize the initiative and not let Millicent use Water Bird Dance again!

I swung my long fangs and attacked continuously, but the opponent calmly blocked them one by one with his Sesher long sword, thus defusing my attacks.

Snapped!

His feet once again stepped into the scarlet poisonous swamp water, and the burning and corrosive feeling made his body brake subconsciously.

And just because of this hesitation, the opponent took advantage of the gap in my attack and slashed at my neck.

——Okay, come on!

I turned sideways, allowing the red shadow's attack to land on my left shoulder while avoiding the vital parts. At the same time, I swung the hound's fangs around and swung hard.

Combat skill: Hound Step, first move.

The full-strength swing not only blocked Hongying's sword, but also completely broke up the opponent's posture, leaving a huge gap in the middle!

--good chance!

After I flipped over and landed, I was about to start the second charge.

But from the corner of my eye, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the sickle blade directly interrupted my rhythm. The halo was thrown out and spun in the air, then fell straight down towards me.

As a last resort, I could only retreat to the side quickly in a half-crouching posture like a hound.

The Zunfu Knight immediately raised his rapier and thrust at me repeatedly, forcing me to continue dodging.

Fortunately, we kept enough distance. During the gap, I glanced in the direction of Alexander. He was carrying Laya on his shoulders, fighting one against two, against two corrupt knights.

——So, this guy in front of me popped up from nearby again.

——What a hassle!

...No, where is that red shadow?

My heart went cold and I subconsciously looked up.

Sure enough, the red shadow was seen leaping lightly into the air again, bending the sword, like a scarlet sickle of death that reaped lives, and was about to swing down.

And the Corrupted Knight once again dragged her scythe, ready to use Michaela's halo to assist Red Shadow in his attack.

——Tsk, being attacked from a 90-degree angle by two people is not easy to dodge.

—Wait, pincer attack?

As soon as the thought popped into my mind, I pounced towards the Zunfu Knight like a cheetah.

Changya blocked the sickle she had just raised, stretched out her left hand and grabbed the neck of the opponent's armor, pulling the already unsteady knight close to her, and then shrank the whole person under her body.

Ping pong! Ping pong! Ping pong!

All I heard was a sound like heavy rain hitting glass, and then a powerful force pushed me and the Zunfu Knight down into the scarlet swamp pool.

I quickly kicked Zunfu away and stood up from the swamp.

——My goodness, even the golden armor of the Zunfu Knight was covered with cracks by the series of attacks from the water bird, making it impossible to tell whether the water on her back was blood or thick, scarlet swamp water.

——I can only say that luckily I had been quite far away from the red shadow before, and I instinctively stepped back to dodge, so I only got hit by the last part of the combo.

But no matter what, this trick of "Defense Coming" is really useful.

Apart from the burning pain on my back from being soaked by the corrosive water, I had almost no knife wounds.

The red shadow came again stepping on the swamp water.

I quickly set myself on fire, then held the hound's fangs with both hands and blocked the opponent's sword.

pong——

——Hmm? She took a step back. Was she not as strong as me?

I seized the opportunity and continued to wave my long fangs with both hands, attacking the opponent continuously. Although my movements were inevitably a bit stiff and inflexible, I used all my strength in every attack. The force was strong and solid, and I defeated the opponent with force. I forced Hongying to retreat continuously and did not dare to fight me head-on.

In a blink of an eye, I advanced step by step and forced the red shadow back to the mushroom reefs that grew next to the fallen giant trees.

Taking advantage of the short downhill terrain behind him, Hongying used the force of my sword to lean back quickly, and also rolled back several times before he stood firm.

——Oh no, we’re being left behind!

As soon as a bad thought flashed through my mind, I saw the red shadow first lower his body, and then use the force of the rotation to suddenly kick upwards. The whole person leaped into the air like a flying swallow and raised the Seshir long sword.

Fighting skill - Water Bird Dance is coming again!

I glanced around, then quickly jumped to the side and hid behind a fallen tree.

The other party swung the blade, and it was like a dragon's whirl. The whirring sound suddenly approached the other side of the giant tree, and then it was like a bird flying over the water, easily leaping over from the tree, and the blade in his hand was still swinging and slashing without stopping.

——This is the second part of the dance of water birds!

I also quickly used the first part of the Hound Sword Technique to leap backwards with a large force, further increasing the distance between us.

I saw the red shadow touch the ground with one foot like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then leaped towards me. The light and shadow of the blade once again turned into flying snow, coming towards me in the storm.

——This is already the third part of the Water Bird Dance.

——Then come on!

Just as the red shadow approached with the flash of swords and sabers, I suddenly released the rune magic accumulated in my feet.

Combat skill - Storm Feet!

The raging hurricane even swept up the corrupt water, lifting my entire body onto the water bird.

In mid-air, I swung out a scarlet moon with blood, then roared and chopped down at the red shadow below me: “Hah aaaaaaa——”

——Take it!

——This is my original fighting skill—Scarlet Blood Moon Slash!

In the last part of the water bird, the sword blade created a gust of wind that spread in all directions.

But no matter how many and how deep the wounds on your body are, they can no longer stop my decisive blow that is like thunder that pierces the sky and the earth!

Just like a lion swooping down on an eagle that had fallen to the ground, a flash of blood appeared, and half of the red shadow's body was chopped off by me!
