Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 564: A Tui Makes Trouble in Sky City

Okay, let me take that back.

Originally, he thought that he could rely on his current strength advantage to sweep through the enemy ranks and rush directly to the palace of "Black Sword" Malicus.

But... As expected, in the world of the Souls series, the most difficult things to deal with are not the monsters that serve as leaders, but the soldiers wandering around the map.

Gah-gah-gah-gah-

The gradually collapsing Fam Azra was also filled with death. I had just walked down from the terrace next to the tornado for a short while when a large number of dragon orc deathborns immediately emerged from the broken fragments of the cemetery and surrounded me. Needless to say, the number was at least twice as many as in the game.

There were even more of them, especially those who used bows and crossbows. Because of the broken terrain of Fam Yazra, they always hid in places where I couldn't reach them for a while and shot arrows from behind.

There are also all kinds of guys hiding behind rocks, suddenly scaring people, appearing one after another.

Combat skill - Water Bird Dance.

Fortunately, the sword dance given by Marlennia was really effective in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. She stomped the annoying guys around her into pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.

Moreover, in reality, I also found a good way to clean up the dead here, that is to pick up their heads and throw them directly into the big tornado in the center of Fam Azra! I don’t care whether you can be resurrected through blessing, just go and blow the wind!

whoosh-

——Wow!

My goodness, another crossbowman appeared from the place where I had already run behind. There are really too many undead in this area. It may be because this was originally a cemetery.

I didn't want to get entangled with these guys any longer. I just used the dancing water birds to carve out a path and then ran away.

Look, there is the light of blessing ahead!

There is a large area over there that looks like a combination of caves and ancient dragon buildings. I remember it was called the Dragon Church, and there were many lost knights guarding inside.

When you get there, take a short break.

"Wow!" After jumping from the large cemetery platform to a piece of debris, the violent shaking almost made him fall.

It felt like the kind of floating platform on the water in those challenge shows I had seen on TV before, where boys and girls rushed forward and were affected by the central storm. If you were not careful, you might fall down.

In the challenge show, the player just fell into ordinary water, but if I didn’t step firmly, I would have fallen from a height of 10,000 meters and screamed Robert.

He pushed hard with his heels, summoned a little wind, did 361 somersaults forward, stepped safely onto the solid ground, and touched the blessed light.

"Roar--"

Behind him, a Death-Born Dragon Orc that looked quite strong was still chasing him!

However, when this guy stepped on the stone slab, he was also shaken violently and sat down on the stone slab.

——After all, it was his fault for chasing me so hard. I just ran over and the stone slab hasn’t even settled down yet.

An idea suddenly occurred to me, and I quickly stepped forward, grabbed the edge of the stone slab, and then gave it a hard turn!

Suddenly, the long stone slab turned into a shuttle on a loom and directly threw the dead dragon orc out.

"Goodbye~" I waved goodbye to the dead dragon orc who fell from the sky and was then swept away by the storm. Now, I finally had a little peace and quiet.

Sit down next to the blessing and rest for a while.

I remember that the boss in the Dragon Church was a fat and thin divine skin messenger... Oops, I let Letina, the only one who can use hypnotic arrows, stay in the Holy Snow Plain, together with the Wolf King Fenlig, to guard her huge sister. I don't usually collect Tolina's flowers, so I can't make a hypnotic pot.

It seems that we have no choice but to fight back.

But the key is, the Lost Knights patrolling around the Dragon Church. According to my previous experience, there is no rule in reality that soldiers cannot enter the BOSS room. If I can't get rid of the Lost Knights around first, and ask them to equip them with fat and thin double god skins, black flame and storm, that scene is a bit hard for me to imagine.

But we have to deal with the Lost Home Knight first... In a one-on-one fight, I'm naturally confident of winning. In a one-on-two or three fight, there will be no problem at all. With my current ability, I'm afraid that when it's a one-on-one fight, that guy will yell and it will turn into a one-on-group fight like we experienced in the previous few times, which would be troublesome.

······It’s okay, or we just don’t fight, double divine skins.

After all, there is no rule in reality that you have to fight once you enter the boss's room. The church hall is connected in all directions. At worst, after entering, you can just use the hound pace to speed up and run away.

As for the reinforcements that Stonewell will send later, I hope they can bring more people. I'll leave the God Skin and the Lost Knights in my care~

After thinking through the strategy, you have to plan the route... Speaking of which, Fam Azra has no map in her mind at all! I remember that in the game, as long as you land on this land, the entire map will be automatically unlocked, but in reality, my mind is gray and there is no rune map at all.

——I guess Queen Marika herself has never been to Fam Azra in person, so there is not even a map tablet.

Moreover, I came here through abnormal means. Is this some kind of punishment?

I also have to say that it has been a long time since I last arrived here in the game. Although I can recall the overall picture of the map of Fam Azra, as for the specific route... I may have to go around a few times before I can remember it.

In short, don't panic. At worst, you can just use Lance Shanks's Dragon Thunder Protection and the Hound Step to run away. By the way, I remember that there is also a physical fitness technique in the prayer given by Gulang, it's called Beast Vitality, so put it on first.

After making sufficient preparations and strategies, I carefully walked into the Dragon Church, looking around.

Crack, crack, crack—

Before I had taken a few steps, I saw a lost knight patrolling with a long axe in his hand.

If I go to this position, he will find me no matter what... Otherwise, why not assassinate him while he is the only one here!

However, speaking of the Errenzhuan, stabbing in the butt, I seldom have the chance to use it in reality. Moreover, with a long sword weapon like Nightfire, the way to backstab in the game is to chop the opponent's waist... But it seems to me that in reality, there is no way that the opponent can stand still after being stabbed, and then be chopped down by someone with more force.

...Or, how about trying to use a dagger and slash the opponent's neck by imitating Assassin's Creed?

Ah, here comes the Lost Knight!

I quickly and quietly hid back beside the blessed light. At the same time, I made up my mind to look for a suitable dagger weapon in my backpack.

——Hey, when did I get the black knife?

Oh, I remember now. When we caught Crazy A Ling in Rodel, Mongette used a seal to take out all his equipment and weapons from the blessed backpack and gave them to me. This black knife happened to be among them.

Although I can't tell whether this sword has been strengthened, it seems that this is the main weapon of Dianhuo A Ling, and it should have been upgraded with the Discoloration Forging Stone.

——Okay, let’s use it!

I picked up the black knife, and when the Lost Knight turned back to the stairs in the passage, I moved forward carefully.

Back, back... First, strangle the other person's neck, then wipe it hard, right?

go!

I rushed forward and suddenly tackled the Lost Knight to the ground with a bang. I quickly reached out to strangle the opponent's neck, and then used the black knife to wipe... Alas, the shawl wrapped around the outside of this guy's helmet is really troublesome.

“Ahhh——” The other person was strangled by my neck and couldn’t utter a complete sound, but he was roaring in anger, and kept struggling and twisting in my arms.

"Don't move!" I quickly took off the opponent's shawl, but the gap between the helmet and the armor was not easy to find.

Kadang.

There were footsteps heard again overhead.

I saw that on the other side of the other intersecting passage, the patrolling Lost Home Knight had already come over. Under his helmet, his eyes were filled with suspicion, fear, and even a look of "are you doing something weird?"

"Yeah, hello." I greeted him awkwardly, and then I was elbowed in the stomach by the struggling Lost Homeland Knight. The pain forced me to let go.

Assassination, total failure!

——As expected, you shouldn’t do things you are not good at.

"Someone come quickly, another damn Faded One has broken in!" The Lost Home Knight who had escaped from me shouted immediately.

--again?!

No matter what, plan B, start!

Combat skills - hound steps, just run away!

While the two Lost Home Knights hadn't made a move yet, I rushed past them. There was a terrace on the corridor, facing the Dragon Cathedral below.

Seeing that the two lost knights were chasing me, and probably had alarmed other knights in different parts of the church, I couldn't care less and jumped!

pat!

Perfect landing.

And at that moment, black flames suddenly broke out around this quiet ancient dragon church.

Right in front of the church, under the dead ancient dragon's lowered head, two balls of black and white flames were also burning fiercely.
