Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 455: The Invasion of the Bitter Winter Wind

No, he was worthy of being the Wolf King who had eaten two dragon hearts. He relied on the power of fire and golden halberd to suppress the Black Flame Storm of the Black Sword's followers.

As the rune light gathered towards it, Fenlig lightly shook off the black flames on his body and put away the golden halberd.

"Well done, Fenrir!" Nefeli smiled and stepped forward, extending her hand.

And Finlig gently wagged his tail, lowered his head, and obediently accepted her praise and caress.

——Speaking of which, since the Black Sword Follower was defeated by it again, the Wolf King’s arsenal will not have more Gargoyle Double-Headed Swords and Black Axes? Next time, this guy may even have the black and red flames of his destined death?

Even Alexander crossed his arms, walked up to Fenlig, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there would be such a courageous White Wolf. If you have the chance, please compete with me, 'Iron Fist' Alexander."

"Ouch——"

"Hahaha, it's settled then!"

——······Brother Hu, do you understand what Fenlige said? It's settled.

I complained in my heart.

Millicent put away her blade and walked over to my side: "Zero, next, we are officially heading to the snowfield, right?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

She turned around and looked towards the end of the team.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

"······nothing."

Although Millicent said this, it seemed like she sensed something... Well, let's not worry about it for now. I led the troops onto the Lord Elevator.

Of course, the escort of the Night Cavalry ended here. He was indeed just here to lead the way, and he did not take any action at all when fighting against the Black Sword followers just now.

After waiting for everyone else to be in place, I held up the elevator token that Mungott had handed to me toward the sculpture in front of the three arched doors on the large elevator.

The gem in the center of the symbol glowed red, causing the eyes of the two sculptures to glow the same way.

Rumbling--

The mechanism controlled the huge sculpture to rotate. The crossed tree spears in their hands, which meant that the passage was prohibited, were separated. After rotating ninety degrees, it turned into a salute to welcome the guests.

boom!

The entire disc of the elevator trembled slightly, shook off the ice and snow on it, and began to rise.

Although the screen only went black for a moment in the game, the actual distance climbed was quite high. For a long while, everything around continued to sink rapidly, and the biting cold wind made it difficult for people to breathe.

I raised my head and looked upwards against the drifting snow and wind. The bright spot of the sun seemed to have not changed. I guess I will have to climb for a long time.

At this moment, Millicent suddenly walked to the other side of the three arched doors.

"Millicent?" I was a little curious when I heard a "Yeah" from there.

Suddenly, everyone became alert.

Then, there were shouts of dissatisfaction: "You, you, what are you doing?! Let me make it clear first, I got here before all of you. It was you who suddenly made this thing move. It has nothing to do with me!"

The voice sounds so familiar.

I motioned for the others to stay put and followed Millicent.

The guy who was hiding on the other side of the doorpost and was caught by Millicent also had crimson hair, and there were two noble knights in golden armor beside him.

"Pollyanna?" I breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to greet her with a smile.

But Pollyanna didn't look at me in a good mood at all: "What are you doing? You are smiling so awkwardly."

"Why are you here?" I was extremely curious.

She immediately retorted, "I didn't follow you! I just happened to see you guys lifting the seal in Rodel, so I just came over to take a look, and I happened to find this big elevator, so I came in to take a look. It was you who suddenly started it up, it has nothing to do with me!"

——It’s a coincidence, it’s a coincidence, where do so many coincidences come from?

I snorted and laughed, "Could it be that you have been following Millicent?"

“Shut up, shut up!” As expected, Pollyanna was exposed by my words. She blushed and kicked me in the thigh. “You, are you an idiot who can’t understand what people say? I already told you that I didn’t follow you!”

——This energy is definitely mine.

I had no choice but to quickly block her next kick with my hand, sighed and said, "Okay, okay, but where have you been since you left Sunshade City? Mi...I was quite worried about you."

“Who asked you to worry!” Pollyanna pouted and turned her head to the side, but she happened to meet Millicent’s eyes. She had to turn her head a little further, “…Ah, I’m so angry! I was hiding well.”

——······To be honest, there is only so much space in the big elevator. Once we reach the top, we will have to go through these doors and step into the snow-capped mountains. Then, where can you hide?

This guy must have taken advantage of the gap between our fight with the Black Sword followers just now to go around the side and run into the Lord Elevator.

But where was Pollyanna before?

The noble knight explained to Millicent in a muttered voice: "... We followed the young lady to the Gmir volcano, and later, to the Royal City of Rodel. We wanted to step into the snowfield first, but the seal blocked our way, so we have been looking for a way to unlock it nearby..."

——Come on, isn’t this exactly the same route as Millicent’s? ! It seems that after leaving Sunshade City, this girl still followed Millicent secretly.

"Le. Si. Ta!" Pollyanna puffed up her face, turned around and kicked the Knight of Corruption a few times.

But the other party remained unmoved.

- Are you waiting until I've explained everything to you before you react? Pollyanna, don't be so arrogant to Millicent.

"Zero, who are these people?" Nefeli heard the noise and came over curiously.

I sighed and could only explain, "This is Millicent's sister and her men. They are here to help."

"I didn't say I would help you!" Pollyanna retorted immediately.

"Good good."

With Pollyanna's noisy participation, the time spent riding the big elevator passed in a flash.

Passing through the long and dark ascension corridor, the bright and holy light baptized everyone.

Although the temperature around was still quite cold, there was no wind and the sky looked particularly blue under the reflection of the snow.

The golden fallen leaves fluttered like butterflies, drifting into the white sea of ​​clouds on the waist of the snow-capped mountains.

Looking down, Rodel's royal city was vaguely visible to us, and it was only the size of a palm.

Head up.

Ah, the shining golden tree!

The lush tree canopy is within reach, and even the individual branches can be seen clearly.

The top of the Giant Snow Mountain is so close to the crown of the Golden Tree, so close that it feels like it is only one step away from correcting the laws and becoming the King of Elden.

"Let's go!" I led the expeditionary force along the long road in front of the Lord Elevator. After turning a corner, we arrived at the first ruins in the snow-capped mountains.

······

——It looks like there is no one here?

But I remember this should be...

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up under our feet, and the ice and snow were blown away wildly, making it impossible to open our eyes.

Phew——

Are the war horses already in disarray?

I quickly gave the order and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone gather around the crazy fire prisoner car in the middle, don't give the other side a chance to take advantage..."

"zero!"

Before I could finish my words, Nepheli suddenly rushed out from the side, swung an axe from bottom to top, and helped me block a black scimitar that was coming straight towards the door.

The opponent missed the attack and quickly jumped back.

It was a very tall black figure, with disheveled hair in the wind and snow, like a snow monster baring its fangs and claws.

...Oh, there was more than one. I saw similar figures emerging one after another from the ruins in all directions, surrounding our entire expeditionary force.

As expected, this is the territory of the heroic nation in the snowy land - the Samir people!
