Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 334: Snake

In the Elden Ring, the biggest weakness of the Divine Skin Apostle must be the sleeping items.

In the first round, four hypnotic arrows or a hypnotic pot can put him into a sweet and peaceful sleep, ready for execution.

Unfortunately, I don't have such props with me now, and the only one who can use Tolina's sleep arrow, Letina, is not around... Speaking of which, it's time to find an opportunity to recall the son of platinum from Lenia. After all, after passing the royal city, there are snowy mountains. Maybe in Sol City, I can rely on her other half of the relationship to negotiate a way through.

Well, that’s all for later.

I have to deal with the Divine Skin Apostle now. After actual combat and observation, I have found another fatal weakness of his!

"Are you ready, Pollyanna?" I watched the black and white flames burning in the hands of the Godskin Apostle.

Pollyanna responded impatiently: "Stop dilly-dallying. Get rid of this monster."

The black fire came like the starting gun in a running race. Pollyanna and I ran from both sides at the same time, flanking the Divine Skin Apostle.

However, although the short steps are agile, my hound's steps are still faster in comparison.

I took the lead in attacking from the left side. After all, Shenpi's dominant hand is his right hand. Relatively speaking, the left side is weaker in both attack and defense.

Fighting skill——Lion Slash!

If you use this move without control, your opponent will definitely dodge it.

As I expected, the Divine Skin Apostle turned his body nimbly, dodging the attack while swinging the Divine Skin Skinning Sword towards me.

I quickly raised my knife to block, and at the same time used the force to step back a few steps.

Pollyanna immediately attacked from the other side of the opponent, starting with several strands of silk, piercing the apostle's back.

The Divine Skin Apostle was also calm. After repelling me with a sword, he stood firm with his lower body, and his upper body continued to twist half a circle with the force of his waist just now. The skinning sword in his hand turned into a fan again, blocking Pollyanna's silk attack.

Then, this guy suddenly stretched out his snake waist like a snake man and rushed towards Pollyanna.

It's now!

Another fatal weakness of the Divine Skin Apostle!

——When this guy triggers the snake's attack habits like this, his defenseless lower body is his biggest weakness!

Combat skill—Wolf Attack Blood Dance·Two-stage slash, start directly!

I closed the distance between me and the Divine Skin Apostle at lightning speed, and slashed at his lower body with all my strength with a bloody blade.

Shenpi's reaction was relatively quick. He quickly kicked his legs and pulled his lower body back.

But because his upper body was still chasing Pollyanna, after losing the fulcrum for his lower body to stand on the ground, his whole body was equivalent to flying in mid-air. The next second, he fell to the ground in a mess and rolled several times before stopping.

"Good opportunity!" Pollyanna immediately rushed forward while the opponent was still unable to stand up.

"Be careful, Pollyanna."

I had just said this when the Divine Skin Apostle suddenly slapped the ground, and black and white flames instantly rose from the ground, forming a circle of fire wall around him.

Pollyanna was really reckless. She jumped over the black flame wall without caring about anything, holding up her two daggers, and wanted to bite the divine skin lying on the ground directly.

——But this impatience played exactly into the other party's hands!

The Divine Skin Apostle used his waist to stretch out at will, deliberately disguising himself as still crawling on the ground, but in fact his lower body had already stood firm. After seeing Pollyanna jumping down, he suddenly dragged his upper body to the side and twisted it, easily avoiding Pollyanna's attack.

At the same time, the peeling sword in his hand was also stained with blazing flames, and the whole person, with the help of the twisting force just now, turned into a super windmill and began to spin.

In an instant, Pollyanna was completely engulfed by the black and white flame storm.

"what--"

"Pollyanna!" I couldn't help but sigh.

The storm brought about by the divine skin is still spreading, as if it is going to swallow me up.

——There is no other way, we can only fight the storm with storm!

After all, I almost got crowned the uncrowned king of Storm City!

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

Roar--

The scarlet molten flames rolled out into the sky and collided with the black and white blue flames, like two giant dragons roaring at each other, biting and gnawing at each other, equally matched.

But I didn't intend to use this move to compete with the Divine Skin Apostle. I just wanted to use the reverse wind force to offset the opponent's strength.

When I found the staggering figure, I suddenly kicked the ground, and the force of the hurricane gushed out from under my feet, carrying me into the air.

Combat skill—Scarlet Blood Moon Slash·Modified.

Molten Flame Red Dragon Slash!

The huge red dragon roared, and with the falling of the night starfire, it tore apart the opponent's blue flame storm. I quickly caught the fallen Pollyanna and brought her out of the storm.

The girl was burned all over, her breathing was weak, and she could only spit out ashes.

"Hold on, Pollyanna!" I distanced myself from the Divine Skin Apostle and continued to pour drops of Red Holy Grail Dew into her mouth until she choked and I breathed a sigh of relief.

——Hey, why are you in such a hurry?

—Pull! You have to pull, do you understand?

But now is not the time to continue taking care of Pollyanna. The Divine Skin Apostle has completely entered the second stage. The skinning sword in his hand is burning with blazing black and white flames, and he is striding towards us.

I placed Pollyanna against the foot of the windmill, regrouped myself, and equipped myself with the brass shield.

——That’s right, don’t be in a hurry to deal with this guy, the key point is defensive counterattack.

Since the Divine Skin Apostle can stretch his body at will, the attack methods he created can be said to be varied. I was too eager to take the initiative in the attack before, and was instead severely entangled by this snake. The more it entangled me, the tighter it got, and I couldn't get away.

Therefore, it is best to keep a distance of about three or four steps in front of him.

Firstly, with this distance, even if the opponent attacks in a counter-attack pattern, there is enough space to observe, react, and dodge effectively; secondly, if you can dodge the attack, you only need to take a step forward to enter the length range of Night Starfire and counterattack.

Finally, beware of the divine skin-flaying sword.

boom--

Shenpi stretched out his body and thrust at me with his skinned sword raised. I quickly raised my brass shield to block it.

I saw him turn his wrist, and the sharp hook of the sword quickly went around the brass shield, cutting a hole in my waist. He pulled back hard and almost tore me and the shield apart.

The wound was icy cold, and after the black and white flames lost the power of destined death, only extreme cold was left.

I gritted my teeth, quickly stepped back and dodged, keeping my distance, and gradually trying to figure out the Divine Skin Apostle's tactics.

In order to maximize the power of the skinning sword, his attack style was wide and open, and he would often use the power of turning his body to swing the skinning sword in a circle to slash.

For example, now, Shenpi made two consecutive sweeps, and after seeing that I blocked them with my shield, he turned around and wanted to raise his skinning sword to chop down.

And this is a good opportunity!

I quickly dodged to the left side of the Divine Skin, and while he was still trying to retreat, I delivered a bloody slash, which tore a large hole in the Divine Skin Apostle's clothes, and oozing out bright red blood.

The other party quickly leaped back to create some distance.

Naturally, I hurried forward. After all, if I was too far away, he would suppress me by throwing fire at me.

Seeing this, Shenpi raised his hand and a circle of fire ignited around him, which made me stop quickly.

Next, it must be that killer move!

Boom boom boom——

Sure enough, Shenpi twisted his body again, rolling up a blue tornado that scorched the sky.

It's not like I haven't broken this move before. The Night Star Fire also ignited into lava flames, and with the hurricane rising under my feet, it turned into a blazing dragon and roared at the storm.

But unexpectedly, the opponent's Canghuozhuo dragon suddenly dived down and bit the red dragon's waist and abdomen, tearing a big hole in it.

——The Divine Skin Apostle has changed his tactics!

He anticipated that I would use Molten Hurricane Dance to counter, so he turned the skinning sword in his hand into an electric fan and rushed towards me with the power of Cangyan.

Seeing that the opponent's giant dragon seemed to have opened its mouth, wanting to swallow me up, I just smiled.

——Finally you’re here. You must not have expected that I was waiting for this move of yours!

He pretended to step aside, tempting the Divine Skin Apostle to stretch his waist and abdomen even harder.

One meter, two meters, three meters, that’s the limit!

Combat skill - hound step!

At the speed of wind, I rushed directly towards the dragon's mouth, and at the same time threw the brass shield in my hand directly into the center of the electric fan.

The Divine Skin Apostle's movement of rotating the sword to skin it couldn't help but pause.

And it was at this moment that I slid and got under his body.

The defenseless snake belly was right before my eyes.

I raised the Night Starfire and slashed at the belly of the God Skin with my sword.

The opponent did not expect that I would launch such an attack, and subconsciously tried to retract his lower body.

——But are you sure you want to shrink back?

The Night Starfire has already cut into the opponent's abdomen. With the God Skin's forceful contraction, I don't even need to do anything else, he will cut open his own belly!

"Hahahah——Ha!" I swung the knife straight at his head, and the lower body of Shenpi was completely cut in half by me because of his mistake in panic.

My whole body was also showered with bright red blood.

But that’s not enough, you must not relax until the last moment!

He quickly stood up and looked back, only to see that the Divine Skin Apostle was already dying and had to use both hands to support himself with the skinning sword.

——It’s time to end!

Harnessing the strong wind, I suddenly leaped into the air, holding high the night star, and cut a scarlet moon in the sky.

Combat skill - Scarlet Blood Moon Slash.

A sword chopped down.

【Enemy Felled】

I watched as golden rune fragments emerged from the divine skin that was cut off by the knife and gathered towards me.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

——Pollyanna should be out of danger now. All we need to do is find the Blessing and feed her more Holy Grail Water. There are no other enemies nearby, so let's go and see what's going on with Millicent and Brother Teardrop.

Thinking of this, I was about to walk down the mountain, but I felt that the imitation teardrop was defeated and turned into a pool of mud, returning to my body from the soles of my feet in disgrace.

On the other side of the mountain path, a man wearing silver armor and holding a blood-stained sword was slowly walking towards me.
