Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 359 The Villain Deserves to Die in Zhang Duo

When Maremare's sneak attack was deflected by me, his eyes under the silver mask couldn't help but reveal complete surprise.

I asked him coldly, "Why? I want to ask you, why did you collude with the Fallen Perfumer to assassinate me, Maremare!"

Suddenly, the surprise and innocence in the other person's eyes disappeared, and were replaced by indifference and a hint of contempt.

Mare Mare did not answer proactively, but directly ordered the fallen perfumers: "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"

——Tsk, it turns out that this guy is not here to help me, but to join forces with me to deal with me!

However, just now I was worrying about which one to deal with first, but now the target is quite clear!

Combat skill - hound step!

I started at the fastest speed and swung Night Star Fire towards Maremare.

Fighting skill—Wolf Attack Blood Dance, second stage!

But to my surprise, this guy Maremare cleverly turned sideways, not only avoiding the attack, but also stabbing straight at me with a sword.

Because of surprise, I was a little slow, and then I felt a burning pain in my armpits and chest.

"Oops, it's a little off." Under the silver mask, I seemed to see the old guy's cunning smile.

I had to keep my distance temporarily.

In an instant, two sparks of fragrance turned into giant snakes, slithered towards me and opened their mouths to bite me.

I was forced to jump from a high place again, but the moment I stood up, I regretted it.

——In the air, there is no place to hide!

boom--

Boom boom boom——

Large patches of fire covered my eyes and, without a doubt, engulfed me completely.

My whole body was burning, as if a plane was quickly scraping my skin.

“Ahhh——” I fell to the ground like a piece of garbage, with black smoke coming out of my body.

But the fragrance of flowers and the sound of burning sparks were like the footsteps of death, marching towards me quickly without stopping.

—Come on, cheer up, myself!

Gritting my teeth, I rolled on the ground to avoid the attack, but soon I was forced into the corner of the hall.

"Sure enough, you are not as outstanding a man as I thought."

The mocking voice of Maremare came to my ears.

Before my opponent came close, I stood up shakily. My eyes were slightly blackened by the smoke and for a moment I couldn't tell which of the swaying figures in front of me was him.

"The person who can accompany that goddess is me. It has to be me! Zero, you are far from qualified."

The sword made a slight sound.

I gritted my teeth, turned around and dodged subconsciously, while swung the knife at the same time.

Maremare backed away, and couldn't help but chuckled: "But I also have to thank you for bringing Lady Millicent here. She is indeed the bud of the goddess, and the existence I have always longed for... You saw it, right? Lady Millicent's light and graceful sword posture is like a flying bird with spread wings, exactly the same as Lady Marlennia! Moreover, she is also deeply corroded by the scarlet corruption, but she is so tenacious and has a noble character, as glorious as the golden tree in the sky! I, no, Yu Maremare, have been pursuing and longing for that goddess all my life! It was fate, it must be fate, that led Lady Millicent to this Sunshade City!"

——······He talks so much. By the way, the one who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping just now must be this guy.

—Is it because Millicent has resolved to travel with me that this man has become jealous, and wants to kill me?

——······Never mind, let’s take this opportunity now and secretly take a sip from the Holy Grail bottle.

bass--

I had just taken a sip when this guy Maremare stabbed me with a sword and knocked my Holy Grail bottle down.

"Alas, why? Why would Lady Millicent favor you? Zero." Maremare's eyes were full of hypocritical sorrow, and underneath was a murderous intent that wanted to kill me.

Fortunately, with the recovery of the Holy Grail bottle, my injuries have improved, and my foggy brain has become clearer.

Damn, there are more corrupt perfumers around.

——There are six people in total, all recruited by Maremare, are they here to surround me?

"Do you want to know why?" I smiled contemptuously and signaled those fallen perfumers with my eyes. "The Valkyrie will naturally favor the pure strong, and will never rely on the power of others to cheat and play tricks."

"Oh." Maremare's eyelids trembled slightly, "Are you a strong man?"

"What else? Compared to the guy who was beaten and fled by Elonmeier, and even his family members were slaughtered, I was able to repel him."

"Shut up! You are just taking advantage of Lady Millicent's favor, and you have the nerve to brag about it. Let me help you face the reality!" Maremare came towards me with his sword again.

I glanced at the fallen perfumers surrounding me, but they were like the pillars that made up the arena, and showed no signs of moving for the time being.

——Hehe, I fell into the trap.

I will also focus my whole heart on Mare Mare.

The opponent was indeed a good swordsman. I blocked his attacks several times, but he always found opportunities to stab me in the fingers, shoulders, arms, legs and feet.

It was too chaotic and too mixed. One could not follow Maremare's moves with just the naked eye. The stabbing swords followed one after another, like a downpour, blowing in one's face.

Bang.

He was losing ground one after another, and before he knew it, his back had hit the wall. He had nowhere to retreat.

A smile appeared in Maremare's eyes, and she thrust her sword straight at my chest.

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

The scorching flames rolled up with a hurricane. Maremare was also wearing cloth armor, so he was naturally forced back by my move.

"Why, don't you want me to face reality?" Although I am at a disadvantage, I must not lose in momentum.

——And while blocking continuously, I seemed to have found a weakness of Maremmare.

"Hmph." He clicked his tongue and gave a look to the perfumer beside him, who then blessed him with two scents, fanaticism and excitement.

——Are you trying to imitate the perfumers’ desperate charge just now to break through my move?

It just so happens that I also want to put into practice the idea I just had.

Once again, Maremare came with sword in hand, but this time, I focused more on Maremare's eyes than on his sword moves... left, right, left, left, right thighs!

when--

With one sword, he deflected the opponent's attack.

Maremare was slightly stunned, took a step back, regrouped, and came forward again.

Right, right, left, left...left side of the abdomen!

when--

I once again blocked the last full-strength attack of Mare Mare's sword move, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

——Sure enough, Maremare’s stabbing sword moves were indeed delicate and clever, with many variations. It was too difficult to defend against just staring at his sword.

After all, a rapier can change its attack with just a slight twist of the wrist.

However, it is difficult for a long sword like Night Starfire to do this.

But this guy, as the city lord, also said that he learned the rapier because he was weak and sickly.

Perhaps, Maremare did not have much practical experience, so he himself did not discover this weakness - his eyes would always fall on the position he wanted to attack the most, especially after adding the fragrance of fanaticism, which made his eyes red, this flaw was even more obvious!

when--

The third time, I blocked Maremare's attack and slashed him back.

His sword moves have no effect on me at all.

Maremare seemed to realize this slowly, and there was an extra hint of anxiety in her eyes.

I looked around again, and seeing that the Fallen Perfumers were still indifferent, I smiled easily: "By the way, you kept talking about Millicent, Millicent, but Pollyanna also has a close relationship with the Valkyrie. But why did you only see Millicent and Maremare?"

"Hmph, Lady Pollyanna? It's true that she also has the aura of that goddess, but how can she be compared with Lady Millicent? She is just an imitation, and she doesn't have the calm and noble appearance of Lady Marlennia." Maremmare really answered every question.

——But, what you said... is hopeless.

While blocking his attack, I changed the subject: "By the way, do you want me to tell you a secret about Millicent and the others? Mare Mare?"

Although Mare Mare did not respond, his eyes still revealed curiosity.

"They are flowers from Scarlet Ionia, and as you know, Scarlet Corruption is a very fierce force. So, do you think that ordinary floral scents alone can intoxicate those two people?"

Maremare listened, frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized.

But it was too late.

The insect silk attacks and the birds take off.

In just a moment, the fallen perfumers surrounding Maremare and I fell to the ground before they could even react.
