Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 463 Breath of Ice Dragon

The vast icy fog rolled in, and we couldn't even see the shadow of the giant dragon hidden in it. We had to escape from the frozen lake and returned to the blessed point by the lakeshore.

As Yushlo Samir said, the "frozen ice fog" Pollux did not chase out from the lake area.

However, those Rodel soldiers who were frozen into ice sculptures and the cart of food had to stay inside... Feilong would not eat them, right? In this way, the golden people who had been blessed with eternal life would be able to revive after a while.

After all, their vitality is even stronger than that of a faded person like me.

But the biggest problem right now is how to deal with this damn flying dragon?

Yushulo shook his head. "So far, no one on the snowfield has dared to provoke the flying dragon. Everyone is trying to avoid it. So, I don't know how to deal with it. The only thing I know is that Pollelius is extremely sensitive to fire."

"No wonder you just reminded us not to use fire." I couldn't help but complain, "Is this guy also the Fire Watcher?"

"It's probably just a physiological aversion to it as an ice creature." Looking at the thick ice fog that began to spread over the lake, Yushuluo sighed, "It's also my fault for not telling you about this in advance. Now we have to wait for Pollelius to calm down, which may take some time."

"Um...can I ask, roughly how long it will take?"

"It will take at least three or two days for the ice fog to completely dissipate. But if Pollux senses that someone has invaded its territory, it will release the ice fog again," Yushuluo explained.

——Three or two days?

It sounds okay, but considering what he said later, it means that there may be countless days and days of this.

Moreover, there is a shortage of supplies on the snowfield, so hunting is impossible.

Perhaps because we are too close to the golden canopy, most of the small animals here are spiritual beings and cannot be eaten at all. And the longer it takes, the more torment we will suffer for the faded ones.

After all, without food, even though they would not starve to death with the blessing of Rune, their abilities would definitely decrease.

In other words, we must deal with the "freezing ice fog" Pollux.

"There's no other way." I sighed. "Paris, leave two knights here to guard the Fire Madman. The others will follow me to defeat Polleleus... By the way, Laya, you stay too..."

"No, Zero, I want to go too." Laya shook her head and interrupted me. "I am also a soldier. I can take care of myself and help everyone. I don't want to stand by and watch helplessly anymore."

“······Okay then.” I looked at Paris.

The other party nodded in understanding.

"Well, to be honest, I don't have a good solution for this ice dragon. But in many cases, only by fighting can we find a way to defeat the enemy." I honestly expressed my thoughts, "So, everyone listen to my orders, and fight while protecting yourself. If you can't hold on any longer, withdraw as soon as possible. After all, this guy is not our biggest enemy along the way, and there are many challenges waiting for us. For this reason, I don't want anyone to fall here, understand?!"

The crowd shouted and gave me a positive response.

"Well, since Pollux has a keen sense of fire... Laya, the two of us will go into the ice fog and find out the exact location of the opponent. The rest of you, please pay attention to our information." I looked at the little snake, "Okay, Laya?"

"Well, leave it to me!" Laya was full of confidence.

"Then let's go!"

I rode Torret and entered the frost fog with Laya on foot.

After all, if the little snake ran at full speed, in the past, its speed could even catch up with Torrett, which is the value of the Volcano Mansion.

There was dead silence all around us.

The visibility was about six or seven meters. There were a few ice crystals floating in the air, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

I took a slightly harder breath and it felt like I was swallowing a blade, cutting my throat painfully.

I glanced at Laya, and we each focused our rune magic on our weapons.

The night star fire ignited a raging flame.

The Sword of Profanation looked as if it had just been taken out of the pool of molten iron where the sword was forged. Laya walked with molten lava dripping from her, causing wisps of smoke to rise from the glacial debris wherever she passed.

"Roar--"

Soon, the roar of a dragon was heard from the depths of the fog.

Then, a sudden gust of wind mixed with icy breath rolled in, trying to extinguish the fire that was making it irritated.

"Laya, let's run separately...be careful."

"Okay, Zero."

As soon as I pulled the reins, Laya and I separated and ran to the opposite sides.

The dragon's breath was spewed out in a cone shape, which meant that Pollux should be located right in the center of the rolling ice fog!

With Torret's help, I managed to avoid the first wave of cold.

The vast snowfield was surrounded by high mountains and steep cliffs, and the roar of the dragon's breath surrounded people in 360 degrees.

But I'm safe here.

It seemed that it regarded Laya as a greater threat? After all, judging from the power of the flame alone, Night Starfire was indeed inferior to the Blasphemous Holy Sword.

"Toret, charge!"

Phew——

Torrett and I were in sync, and immediately rushed towards the source of the dragon's breath with all our strength.

After a while, we saw a huge figure like a hill hidden in the snow and fog.

"Frozen Ice Mist" Pollux!

This guy is actually covered with white snow. No wonder I couldn't see his figure when I glanced at him from a distance before. He is no different from the snow piles on the rocks in the lake!

Moreover, the opponent seemed to be unaware of my approach and continued to spit dragon breath into the ice mist.

——Then don’t blame me for being rude.

Prayer - Dragon Thunder Shelter by Lance Shanks.

Combat skill - hound step!

The moment Torret approached from the side, I jumped up, using Pollux's wings as a ramp and rushed forward.

Then, he suddenly leaped towards its huge head.

Fighting skill——Scarlet Blood Moon Slash!

when--

The blood moon wheel fell on Pollelius' neck.

But the other person's extremely hard skin bounced against my palms so hard that it hurt, as if I was hitting a stone with a wooden stick.

As a last resort, I could only kick the person in the neck and step back.

This time, Pollux naturally noticed me, closed his dragon breath, roared, raised his huge wings, and swooped towards me.

I quickly got under the opponent's stride and used my combat skill - Blood Slash - Multiple Continuous Slashes.

He swung the blade at its solid body repeatedly, but the effect was still very unclear.

This guy didn't even transform his body into a rune, and when I used my fighting skills to chop it, I only left a blade as wide as a finger. For such a huge flying dragon, it was just a tickle, and I accidentally scratched the skin.

——This is too hard!

——Is it because of the icy environment that Pollelius has built-in frost armor?

"Roar--"

The other person raised his foot and stomped hard on my head.

I quickly dodged it, and a large cloud of ice crystal mist was stirred up at the place where the opponent landed. If I didn't dodge it in time, the freezing value would increase rapidly.

And right after the trampling, Pollux didn't intend to let me stay under its belly any longer, so it took a few steps forward and then swung its big tail suddenly.

Although the fog was so thick that people couldn't see clearly around them.

But I still managed to accurately capture the sound of the tail tearing the air, and with the experience I gained from the game, I rolled over to avoid its attack.

——Since the effect of just slashing is not obvious, let's give it a try by adding the power of fire.

The night star fire ignited a raging flame again, causing a hint of impatience in Pollelius' eyes and icy flames appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Let us continue the battle, dragon!"

"Roar--"
