Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 570 Chase

"Oohohohoho——"

Amidst the gusts of wind, Fam Azra's heart-wrenching roar startled the nearby Storm Eagles, and they flew away from the floating city as if they had a premonition of an impending natural disaster.

"This sound... doesn't sound like the roar of an ancient dragon." Nefeli actually broke out in a cold sweat, which was rare.

Even "Warrior Pot" Alexander couldn't help but be a little shocked: "What on earth is going to happen to this broken sky city?"

Almost everyone was confused by this sudden tearing roar.

But all this has nothing to do with me. All I care about is the actions of the man named Bernal.

The place where he is now is the overpass where Benar will be when Fam Azra invades the player Adie in the Circle of Fame game. If I remember correctly, you have to go back from the bridge at the entrance of the temple where the "Black Sword" Malicus is located, and then you can go around from there.

——But what is Bernal doing there in real life?

I remember that there seemed to be only an ancient king amulet that strengthened magic and prolonged prayers. It couldn't be that he was responsible for guarding it.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

My only goal now is to get Melina back.

"Wait a moment, Melina, I'll be there right away!" I shouted.

"Lord Zero..." Melina looked somewhat relieved.

And Bernal also withdrew his gaze from the direction where the roar came from: "It's time to go, witch."

As he said that, he put on the Beast Gathering Helmet, picked up the World-Devouring Scepter, and looked like he was planning to leave.

"Give me a moment!"

"Zero, if you want to take your witch back, come to the temple of 'Black Sword' Malicus. I will be waiting for you there." After Bernard said this, he disappeared from the bridge.

Melina looked at me with a complicated expression, as if she had a lot to say, but she couldn't express it clearly for the moment. She could only follow Bernal silently.

"I couldn't ask for more!" I quickly quickened my pace.

Now that we are here, we remember the next route clearly. As long as we follow the main road, we will reach the temple where the black sword is located, but we have to hurry.

Humph, but I guess Bernal doesn’t know that yet.

With the help of Mr. Mongget, I have convinced the "Beast Priest" Gulang. In other words, "Black Sword" Malicus is on my side.

——Wouldn't it be a trap for him to go there to meet?!

But then again, even though my attention was on Bernal just now, that roar was indeed worthy of attention.

"Oohohohoho——"

Again.

Indeed, just as Nepheli said, this roar does not sound like the voice of an ancient dragon...then whose roar could it be?

I led everyone towards the temple where Malicus was, but just as we passed a relatively empty square, suddenly, another roar came from above our heads.

Then, a huge black shadow descended from the sky and moved towards us.

"Be careful! It's an ancient dragon!" Nepheli shouted, reminding us to take shelter.

The ancient dragon fell, raising a cloud of gray dust, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

Nepheli and I quickly used our storm fighting skills to disperse the dust, and then we saw the ancient dragon holding its head high and roaring at the sky again.

Ow—

Red arcs of light spread out from the ancient dragon's body and transformed into bolts of lightning, continuously striking down in all directions.

Seeing this, Alexander pounded his fists twice and rushed towards the ancient dragon first: "I am Alexander the Iron Fist, the master of Fam Azra. Please allow me to come and learn from you!"

Nepheli also raised her double axes and said to me, "Zero, you take Roderica and go first! Leave this to us... Go and rescue your witch."

"...Thank you very much, Nepheli."

"What are you thanking me for? Let's go." As she said that, Nepheli also stepped forward to assist Alexander and block the ancient dragon's steps.

Roderica and I looked at each other, dodged the red lightning, and quickly passed by the edge of the square.

"Oohohohoho——"

The direction of the roar is getting closer and closer. I can say that I am certain that it comes from the direction of "Black Sword" Malycus... Could it be that someone is already fighting with Malycus, trying to seize the Death Rune from him?

It's not me, nor Bernal, so there is only one candidate - Tron, the son of evil who has touched the fire of madness.

boom!

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly another bolt of thunder struck from the sky. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and stopped.

Several dragon beastmen poked their heads out from all around.

They seemed to be disturbed by the roar from Malycus and became quite violent. They drooled and slashed at me with their swords in hand.

"Rodelika, come closer to me." I drew out the Nightfire and stirred up the storm at the same time.

Combat skill - Flame Hurricane Dance.

The raging flames blocked the dragon beastmen's steps, and the next second, red lightning flashed in the raging fire.

The sharp blade light swept across the necks of the dragon beastmen before they could even react, and the flowers of the other shore were scattered all over the wilderness.

"At a time like this, please don't come out and get in the way." I complained casually.

"Ooohhohohoho!"

The roaring overhead grew louder, but from the sound of it, it didn't sound like a fight.

If he was fighting with someone, the roar should be more passionate and shorter, with the power from the throat released only at the moment of exerting force, instead of being continuous and full of pain like now.

"...Lord Zero, could this voice be the shadow beast of Queen Marica that the knight mentioned that sealed Death?" Roderica has also guessed the source of the voice.

I also said bluntly: "Well, it should be him, but I don't know what happened. Oh, stop here for a moment."

In front of the bridge formed by the collapsed pavilion, I stopped Roderica. Sure enough, not long after, a dragon orc rushed out from the opposite side, swinging a boomerang in his hand. It would be quite annoying to be hit by him when crossing the bridge.

Combat skill - Thunder God Killing Gun.

Fortunately, I was prepared and hit the opponent between the eyebrows with a red blow, causing him to fall back without a sound.

"That person seems to be suffering." Roderica's feelings are indeed the same as mine. "By the way, before we set out, Sir asked me to give something to Lord Zero, saying that if it were you, it might be useful... Sorry, I forgot about it because I was so amazed by the various scenes here."

"It's okay. We'll go up from this side later. There will be a little blessed guiding light. Give it to me when we get there." After saying that, I made a hushing gesture to Roderica.

We came to the door of a building that looked like a church. There was an elevator leading to the bridge in front of the temple. The ground inside was covered with water, and it was guarded by two dragon orc prayer masters and an orc elite monster. Needless to say, it was disgusting to pray with thunder in such an environment.

Let's fight fast.

Combat skill - hound step.

Before the other party noticed me, I rushed forward quickly, raised my sword, and pierced the neck of the orc in front of me. Turning around, I saw a prayer priest in the corner, who was about to release a thunderbolt.

——No praying allowed!

I turned around and used a Storm Slash to interrupt his stance, then quickly approached him and took his life with two slashes.

"Roar——" The orc elite monster came, but it was too late.

After dodging several of the opponent's swings, Ye Huo found a flaw and stabbed his opponent in the throat with a sword with a red arc of electricity.

The miscellaneous soldiers along the way were finally cleared out.

I took Roderica and took the elevator in the room at the back of the church, all the way up to the blessing point next to the bridge.

"Okay, what does Baizhi want to give me, Roderica?" I took a short break and asked curiously.

Roderica glanced at the room filled with blessed light and said softly, "This place may feel a little small, Master Ling, please be a little more accommodating."

As soon as she finished speaking, I saw the Blessed Light respond to Roderica's call, suddenly took out a huge helmet from her backpack, and squeezed me into the corner of the room.

"This is the mirror helmet I got from Lord Igi. After learning that Lord Zero had convinced the beast priest, Lord Jazz speculated that if 'Black Sword' Malicus is the same as Lord Blaze of the Kalia royal family, perhaps you can use this thing." Roderica explained to me.

Outside, the roar of the black sword became louder and louder.

"Oohohohoho——"
