Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 522: Rebellious Teardrop Brother

If I remember correctly, the invisible bridge below is also in the shape of a T, but it's a crooked T.

The straight line connecting the left and right secret room doors is unobstructed. Then, find the door on the right side of the front. The vertically connected road also has an invisible bridge.

I dodged the giant land octopus that fell from the sky and ran straight along the invisible bridge in my memory.

In the secret room, the evil soldiers heard the noise and rushed out one after another.

One guy took the lead, swinging a long-handled hook weapon, igniting the black and red flames of destined death, then jumped up and chopped down at me.

I quickly turned around to avoid the opponent's attack, then swung Nightfire and chopped it hard, chopping the short guy away and making him fall directly into the bottomless abyss.

Seeing this, the other evil soldiers immediately threw smoke bombs on the ground.

Suddenly, thick fog filled the air, making it impossible to see the road clearly.

Soon I heard the sound of a whip whipping in the air, which made me quickly move to the side.

"Hehehe——" Immediately, two more evil soldiers came chasing after me from the side.

Combat skill - Storm Foot!

The hurricane not only interrupted the evil soldiers' pursuit, but also cleared away the thick fog around. Then, I saw the octopus tentacles that had just missed the target sweeping towards me from the ground. I quickly seized the opportunity and jumped hard to avoid the opponent's attack.

As for the two evil soldiers, they were in a miserable state. Not only were they blown away by the storm, but they were swept off the invisible bridge by the octopus' tentacles in the next second.

Taking this opportunity, I also discovered the location of the edges and corners of the invisible bridge.

There, the smoke fell down like a waterfall.

——That was a close call!

Looking closely, if I had taken a step back when I dodged, I would have fallen off the bridge.

Combat skill - hound step!

I hurriedly quickened my pace and ran towards the vertical invisible bridge.

There is also a secret room in front. I am sure there are evil soldiers hiding at the corner, ready for a sneak attack. But my destination is not there, but under the invisible bridge, the platform attached to the wall at the end.

"Hey~" He jumped over there with force and landed safely on the platform.

But behind him, the shouting of those evil soldiers followed closely.

Combat skill - Molten Hurricane Dance!

——You still dare to jump over here? I will turn all of you into meteors in the abyss!

“Gahhhh—”

The roar of the giant terrestrial octopus suddenly resounded throughout the secret room. When I looked up, the huge guy actually swung his tentacles and wrapped them around the pillars of the rooftop, flying towards me like a super-giant spider.

This kind of platform is only about 20 to 30 square meters. If a huge creature like a giant octopus is called over, there is no space for it to dodge. If it just twists its butt a little and swings its tentacles, won't it be squeezed down?

I had no choice but to immediately climb into the window on the wall of the platform.

Inside, there was also a giant terrestrial octopus, and three or four evil soldiers who seemed to have seen their prey caught in a trap, and they immediately attacked me with laughter.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I could only crawl and tumble my way to the passage on the side of the secret room.

The terrestrial giant octopus does not move very fast, unless it uses its tentacles to bounce up, it can quickly close the distance. The evil soldiers' running speed is naturally faster than that big guy, so they are out of sync and I can defeat them one by one!

Prayer - Lance Shanks's Dragon Thunder Shelter!

boom--

With the explosion of red thunder, the evil soldiers had just taken the first step into the secret room passage when their heads were quickly separated from their bodies.

The only thing left is the giant terrestrial octopus, which can be easily solved.

——After all, these big guys are just my food supplies along the coast of Nimgfu!

I found the weak spot and killed it with one blow. After confirming that the rune light of the terrestrial octopus was converging on me, I breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Night Fire.

Oh my, from the old man with "blood fingers" to the possession of Xia Bolili, and the invasion of various troublesome guys in the secret passage leading to the sacred tree, there is really no time to rest.

However, you can relax a little bit now.

If I remember correctly, the final boss of this secret room is the Rogue Teardrop... Okay, start taking off your clothes.

"A-choo——" To be honest, the snowy mountains are still quite cold. Even with the bonus of the blessing, you will still get a runny nose if you just walk with your bare arms.

So, let’s hurry up and make a quick decision.

Naked and unarmed, I ran along the passage all the way to the final secret room.

Jingle bell bell~

But the strange thing is that after I entered the secret room and stood still for a long time, the lone replica teardrop did not appear at all. It was puzzling... Ah, could it be hiding in the dark corner, seeing me come in like this, and was too lazy to replicate? It was quite smart, was it deliberately waiting for me to put on the equipment before reshaping the body?

Well, how about I just take the dead roots from the treasure chest at the end of this secret room?

Anyway, that is my goal. As for the treasures dropped by the replica teardrops, it doesn’t matter.

——If I remember correctly, it should be Amon, the Black Flame Martial Monk... Speaking of which, why didn't it turn into Amon? I remember the teardrop I saw in the "Eternal City" Noklongen. In the end, it turned into the knight it had defeated before and fought with me.

Although it was a bit strange, when I opened the treasure chest, the Liqun Imitation Teardrops had not appeared yet.

——Then you can get the props for free, you are so lucky.

Jingle bell bell~

But at the moment I picked up the dead root, the soul-summoning bell on my waist rang again inexplicably, and then, a faint blue glow, unexpectedly, flew out from it, fell to the ground, and turned into a pile of silver tears, beyond my will.

——Brother?

I was full of confusion.

After Big Brother Teardrop appeared, a group of gray-black imitation tears suddenly fell from the ceiling of the secret room.

Then, the two teardrops mixed together like dough, and then a cloud of silver-grey mist rose up, and a figure stood up in the mist.

The dark blue Kalia knight suit, with a black sword on my shoulder, obviously, that's my daily look.

"My comrade, Zero." The other party drew out his big sword and said, "Put on your armor, prepare your weapons, and fight me!"

That strange voice that was a mixture of male and female voices revealed an indifference and coldness that could not be rejected.

...Could it be that the teardrops in my house synchronized their daily data with the rogue imitation teardrops here, which resulted in the appearance before our eyes?

Helplessly, I could only summon the Kalia Knight Suit and Nightfire from the blessed backpack again.

However, the blessing point here has not been lit up. The nearest blessing point that allows me to summon items is still over at the Samir Ruins. It will take some time for the Rune Light to fly over.

Fortunately, the other party was very moral and did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack me.

——It seems that the replica teardrop really wants a fair battle. No wonder in this round of summoning, she didn't even extract my life force, but seemed to possess the solitary replica teardrop here.

"Can I ask why?" Since there was still some time left, I asked curiously.

And Teardrop Zero also explained bluntly: "We, the replica tears, were born for the king of the Eternal City. Becoming the King of Elden is also our mission... My comrade, don't be surprised. If you lose this battle, I will use the skills of the Eternal City to preserve your soul, and I will use your body to become the King of Elden."

“... In other words, big brother, you want to seize someone else’s body, right?” In the dark secret room, a ray of golden light fell on me, and the Kalia Knight suit was instantly put on. I also pulled out the Nightfire, waved my hand, and looked up, “But this won’t do. There are some things that I have to do personally!”

"So, let's fight!"
