Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 584: The Madness of Fire (Part )

Cannot be looked at directly, cannot be observed...

In my body, when the madness value was detonated, the first thing I felt was not the pain of the burning flames, but my mind seemed to be branded by the King of Madness. The flames were burning fiercely, and I saw that my head had also become that appearance, roaring madly in the world of fire.

"Uhhhhhh-"

"Lord Zero!" Just when I was about to lose consciousness, Melina's call suddenly pulled me back from the raging fire.

Her gentle voice was like an embracing ocean, absorbing all the scorching heat in my body.

"Calm down, Master Zero." She seemed relieved and soothed me softly, "You'll be fine."

"Melina." I was in her arms, running.

Looking back, the burning head of the King of Madness seemed like a huge scarlet and yellow pupil of Madness, staring directly into my heart, causing a red fire to fall there. Suddenly, my head felt slightly hot again, and my eyes seemed to be stung by the overly strong light, which was very uncomfortable.

——Is it really impossible to look directly at the flames of this Mad Fire King when dealing with him?

——What kind of Cthulhu monster is this? How can we defeat it?

And Melina seemed to have read my mind and said again: "Don't worry, you will be fine, Master Zero."

"Watch your back!"

Prayer - a fire that cuts through the sky!

The sniper cannon fired again.

Melina didn't seem to notice, so I could only protect her head, twist my body, and force her to fall to the ground, avoiding the attack of the King of Madness.

At this moment, I suddenly discovered that a red and yellow flame was burning behind Melina... Was that insane fire?

Moreover, unknowingly, she had lost her black and frizzy state and returned to her original gentle appearance, and the night eyes had closed again.

——What happened at the moment when my mind was eroded by the insanity? Obviously, it was not as simple as Melina saving me from the opponent's attack.

But I didn't have time to figure out what was going on, as the still-raging fire cannon began to move downwards.

"You have to roll out of the way, Melina!" I quickly reminded her, then pushed Melina hard and rolled to both sides to avoid the fire from the King of Madness.

Seeing this, the other party also calmed down, and like a hunter, he walked slowly and leisurely in his hunting ground, approaching the helplessly struggling prey.

The fire is still burning.

My eyes hurt. I can't look away, but I can't look away either.

If he does not move, he will naturally continue to accumulate madness points like before. Although the speed is relatively slow, if he is hit by the opponent's large-scale combat skills again, I am afraid that the situation just now will be repeated.

But if you look away, you will find that several of this guy's prayer skills seem to be instant. How can you dodge them if you don't observe carefully?

Caught between these two dilemmas, I don’t even know how to fight.

"Don't worry, Master Zero." Melina repeatedly comforted me, "Death has linked our fates together... Master Zero, you are indeed a warrior recognized by Malikus. I didn't expect it to be so easy to implement."

——Why are you suddenly talking about this now?

I felt a little confused.

But when I saw the flames on Melina's back were still burning, a terrible guess suddenly popped up in my mind: "Melina, could it be you..."

Melina nodded slightly: "It's okay, Master Ling... Didn't you tell me that I can look directly at the virtual image of fire and become a fire person? This little pain is nothing."

——Sure enough, it was Melina who absorbed the damage from the crazy fire for me!

"So, go ahead and fight! I will protect you, Master Zero, from the crazy fire, and you will become the true King of Elden, right?"

As soon as Melina finished her words, Yehuo seemed to respond to her, and black and red flames burned on the black sword blade.

She even entrusted me with the power of her own destined death.

——【Death】has linked our fates together.

That’s what it meant.

Now is not the time for me to hesitate, I look towards the Mad Fire King again, although my eyes still feel burning pain like before, but in my mind, I don’t feel the chaos, nor the mark left by the Mad Fire King.

I'm afraid this is Melina helping me resist the opponent's mental attack.

Above the night fire, the flame of death is even stronger. It seems that I have to make a quick decision.

boom--

The red thunder descended, and the dragon Lance Shanks protected me.

With a gust of wind under my feet, I rushed directly towards the King of Madness and Fire.

The fire on the other person's head also burned more vigorously.

——Is it the accumulation of power of the sky-piercing fire? Or is it the unbearable fire?

Boom boom boom——

All of a sudden, the Mad Fire King burst out with countless flowing flames, like a giant hand that wanted to grab people.

Combat Skill——Molten Hurricane Dance·Modified·Fated Death!

I swung my sword and created a hurricane, the strongest fire that could bring true death, and rode the wind to form a blazing black and red tornado, blocking all of the attacks from the Mad Fire King.

The dragon dance whirlwind rolled in front of him.

I suddenly changed my moves, leaping up into the air while riding the wind. In a blink of an eye, the flames turned into a giant dragon, which opened its huge mouth and roared as it swallowed up the Crazy Fire King.

The opponent also clenched the sword in his hand, burning the same fire of death, and slashed at me.

boom--

Suddenly, the wind changed drastically, as if countless wronged souls were wailing and taking advantage of the scattered flames to flee away.

The King of Madness Fire could not withstand my attack, but a flash of fire appeared above his head, and then an ordinary ray of crazy fire shot straight towards me.

I had no choice but to retract my strength and leap back to avoid the opponent's attack.

But I saw him slam the World-Devouring Scepter in his other hand into the ground, and a red light quickly burst out, and the burning sensation accompanied by insanity immediately enveloped me.

Combat skill——World Devouring·Crazy Fire Attachment.

——It was this move that triggered my madness value just now.

But now, my consciousness is still extremely clear in my mind. Since this move is difficult to dodge, then I might as well not dodge it. I will attack instead of defend. Let me see how you defend next.

Fighting skill - Water bird dance!

All of a sudden, I was completely immersed in the flash of swords and sabers. The destined death attached to the swords was like the god of death wielding his scythe. Every attack was reaping the opponent's soul.

The Mad Fire King was beaten back by me, and only relying on Tron's strong body and the two weapons in his hands, he barely blocked the attacks of the water birds.

In the last section, the air blades suddenly exploded, causing the Mad Fire King to fly out.

Unfortunately, after performing the whole set of water bird skills, I was so exhausted that I couldn't seize the opportunity to move forward and finish off the opponent.

However, after being hit by the water bird and the effect of destined death, although many attacks were blocked, even the tankiest Fire Giant in the magic circle could not withstand it!

The Mad Fire King still struggled to stand up.

The air around him was visibly filled with a thick, foul fire aura that was quickly repairing the wounds on his body.

"Uh uh uh——" On the side, the crazy fire witch Haida suddenly groaned and fell to her knees on the ground in a twisted state.

And the foul fire aura emanated from Haida!

——Could it be that the Mad Fire King directly drained the witch's vitality to forcibly restore himself?

By the way, doesn't Haida know some restorative prayers? Why must we use this method? Maybe the Golden Tree's prayers won't work on him in the state of the Mad Fire King?

With a thud, Haida fell to the ground.

The Mad Fire King has stood up again, his flames still burning.
