Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 133 Red Lion Duo
Bai Shi walked out of the room and looked around.

Suddenly I found myself not knowing where to go.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and began to recall the general layout of Red Lion City.

Bai Shi remembers that Red Lion City is roughly in the shape of an L.

And where he was going now was the top of L, which was also the deepest part of the castle, and he had to pass through the square.

But now I may have to find someone to lead the way.

Red Lion City is still managed by someone.

If I were to barge in here by myself, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

If someone in Stoneville wandered around looking for Bai Shi without informing him, Bai Shi would not be happy either.

No matter who you are or what your status is, it is really too much to explore the castle without permission.

So Bai Shi thought about it and decided to walk in the direction he came from.

The soldier just now met the manager of this area with Bai Shi. Why not go find that manager?

But after finding it, what the administrator said made Bai Shi a little disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Master Jellian is not seeing anyone right now."

Bai Shi was a little disappointed, but that was fine.

Anyway, there's nothing important. I'll definitely see him after the battle festival starts.

We can talk about it when the time comes.

But when Bai Shi turned around and was about to leave, the manager hesitated for a moment and still called Bai Shi to stop.

Although he was not a warrior, he could see that the equipment on Bai Shi was extraordinary.

However, one’s true strength cannot be determined by looking at the equipment.

"If you are confident in your own abilities, there are ways."

Bai Shi turned around.

"Oh, what do you say?"

The manager recalled what Jerry had said earlier and told Bai Shi:
"Lord Jie Lian once said that if a strong warrior can pass the test, it proves that he has enough strength."

"He said that he would personally receive any warriors with great strength, because only such warriors could possibly defeat General Latarn."

"It's just that the so-called test is not something that ordinary people can overcome."

Bai Shi became interested.

In particular, the hesitant expression on the manager's face when he talked about the test made him very curious.

"What kind of test is it?"

"Don't worry, tell me. I am very confident in my ability."

The manager saw that Bai Shi seemed to want to go, so he told him.

"Go to the square from this side."

"There are two adults in the square waiting for the challenger."

"They are powerful warriors of the Red Lion Legion. As long as we can gain their approval, we can go see Lord Jelian."

"Although there are no conditions for taking such a test, no one has passed it so far."

"On the contrary, quite a few were seriously injured in the battle."

"If you want to go, let me lead the way for you."

With that said, Bai Shi roughly guessed that the so-called test was probably the Lion Hybrid and the Crucible Knight.

"Well, then I'll ask you to lead the way."

"But doesn't it matter if someone else is coming later and you're not there?"

The manager was about to shake his head.

"It's okay. There are other people. I will let them take charge."

"Compared to this, I would rather see a warrior who can free General Ratan..."

The Red Lions sincerely hope that General Latarn can rest in peace.

This is one of their long-cherished wishes.

Another long-cherished wish is to eliminate the Scarlet Corruption.

However, they have been fighting for countless years, so they have a deeper understanding of this:
With their abilities, they probably can't completely eliminate the Scarlet Corruption.

So at least let General Latan have a decent ending.

Bai Shi followed the manager and traveled all the way through the entire Red Lion City.

There are no residents in Red Lion City now. The only people who can be seen are militiamen wearing soldier uniforms.

Bai Shi saw something and suddenly stopped.

"what is that?"

The manager looked at what Bai Shi was pointing at.

It was a huge iron coffin.

Its body looks like a big bell, and on its head there is a mask of a pale, crying woman.

Two thick iron chains extended from the arms, dragging two heavy sickles.

"That, ah, is... a combat puppet."

"Sorry, I don't really understand them, but they are very useful on the battlefield."

"But I don't know where this weapon came from. It is said that it was given by General Latan's brother, Justice Lakkad. I don't know if it is true or not."

Bai Shi looked at the rusty and bloody doll of the kidnapped girl.

As if sensing Bai Shi's gaze, the kidnapped girl doll turned its body and faced Bai Shi.

However, the doll did not attack, and after a while she just wandered around on her own.

I don't know how she actually works.

These puppets on the border are really magical.

After passing the buildings in the city, Bai Shi arrived in front of the square.

They arrived at the room in front of the square, where there happened to be a blessing point, so Bai Shi went to light up the blessing first.

In the blessed space, Bai Shi put the dragon hunting sword into the blessed storage, and then took out the giant sword he had obtained before.

The dragon hunting sword and spear have been greatly strengthened, and it is easy to seriously injure them with the sword and spear.

After all, this is just a competition, there is no need to kill each other like in the game.

Facing the pincer attack from the Furnace Knight and the Lion Hybrid, Bai Shi thought he could win easily.

In that case, let's use this giant sword.

It is as rough and heavy as a block of iron. Although it would probably cause a lot of injuries if it hit the body, it is better than having a limb cut off.

Bai Shi walked out of the blessed space holding the giant sword and stepped into the huge square.

At the entrance of the square, you can see the entire layout of the square at a glance.

The city walls were hung with flags of the Red Lions, and ropes were stretched across the square.

Hanging on these ropes are various weapons and shields, which should be the spoils of the Red Lion Legion.

All the creatures in the square noticed Bai Shi at the first moment.

The lion hybrid was lying in a corner of the square, but stood up when he saw Bai Shi.

The Crucible Knight was standing on a high wall nearby, looking at Bai Shi.

'Another challenger?'

The lion hybrid rose from the ground, revealing his scarred body.

He drew out his greatsword and walked towards Bai Shi.

He stared at the rough giant sword in Bai Shi's hand, and then spoke in human language:

"This sword... shouldn't be here."

Bai Shi was a little surprised by the lion hybrid's sudden words.

Because as far as he could remember, he had never spoken a word during his previous battle with Singer.

But think about it, it was normal for Singer not to speak since he was under the control of the enchanting branch at that time.

As for the moment when he regained consciousness, his vitality had been sucked dry by the Sword Skeleton Greatsword, and he probably didn't have the strength to speak.

And as a hybrid, Grandpa Xiu Gu can also speak.

So it's not surprising that lion hybrids can talk.

"Yes, the coffin that was carrying this giant sword was destroyed by giant dogs and giant crows, and I happened to be passing by." "I have destroyed them, and it can be regarded as revenge for the people who escorted it."

After listening to Bai Shi's story about how he got the giant sword, the lion hybrid continued:

"I see. It seems that it is unwilling to remain silent."

"Now that you are here, you should know what to do next."

Bai Shi lowered the giant sword from his shoulder, holding it with both hands, pointing the tip of the sword at the lion hybrid.

Seeing that Bai Shi was ready, the lion hybrid roared and pounced.

The lion leaped high and swung the sword in his hand vertically.

Bai Shi looked at the lion hybrid and couldn't help but think of Singh, the lion hybrid he had fought against in the city of Morn.

However, this lion hybrid is more experienced than Singh, both in combat experience and strength.

Bai Shi took a step forward and swung his sword from bottom to top, colliding with the sword that was chopped down vertically.

Leaping from the air to attack, he applied not only the force of the lion hybrid's sword but also his own body weight.

The force was extremely huge, but Bai Shi easily took it.

Not only that, a force came from Bai Shi's sword, lifting the lion hybrid's body upwards.

The lion hybrid flipped backwards in the air, used the small wings behind it to adjust its posture, and landed steadily on the ground.

The lion hybrid showed a surprised expression, and then its hair began to stand on end as if it was eager to fight.

It had been a long, long time since he had met someone who could compete with him in strength... no, someone who was stronger than him.

Lion hybrids are different from ordinary hybrids.

Ordinary hybrids are simply random blends of the powers of other races.

But the furnace has almost all positive effects on the lion hybrids.

Whether it is their taller and more powerful body than their peers, their strong and slender limbs, or their tails and wings that allow them to balance their bodies.

Everything seems to be optimized for combat.

"Ah, indeed, a warrior worthy of that great sword."

"In this case, I can't hold back any longer."

The lion hybrid placed his left hand on the greatsword, and as his claws slid across the sword, the entire sword burst into flames.

This is the flame that the Red Lions are famous for, the Red Lion Fire.

As a member of the legion, the lion hybrid naturally knows this trick.

The lion hybrid rushed towards Bai Shi again, sweeping the greatsword in his hand.

Bai Shi simply swung the giant sword forward in a plain and unpretentious manner.

But the lion hybrid immediately twisted its body before rushing into Bai Shi's attack range.

The lion hybrid immediately changed its tactics, nimbly converting the momentum of the attack into moving its body to the side, causing Bai Shi's sword to miss.

He rotated his body with his right foot as the center, and then when he turned his back to Bai Shi, he prepared to release the Lion Fire in his hand.

After turning around, the Lion Fire immediately swung towards Bai Shi, and the sword in the other hand also swung in a large arc as he turned around, following closely behind the Lion Fire.

The temperature of the lion fire is scorching, but Bai Shi will not be defeated by such an attack.

Bai Shi did not lift up the giant sword that had missed the target. Instead, he immediately changed his hand and gripped the hilt, so that the tip of the giant sword pointed vertically downward.

The huge sword body drew a deep mark on the ground as Bai Zhi dragged it, and at the same time formed a towering wind wall.

The wind wall blocked all of the lion's fire, and the raised giant sword also blocked the lion hybrid's greatsword.

The wind wall and the flames collided with each other, but a figure rushed out from it.

Bai Shi's figure passed through the curtain of fire and then kicked over.

The lion hybrid blocked the sword in front of him, but was still kicked away.

The lion hybrid's paws dragged long tracks on the ground, sending bricks and stones flying.

Bai Shi took the initiative to attack without using any other moves, just using the simple and unpretentious slashing techniques that suited the giant sword.

The lion hybrid raised his greatsword horizontally to block, and then was pinned to the ground by the greatsword.

The stone bricks under both feet sank downwards and cracked.

Bai Shi's current strength attribute is 40 points.

Even if he didn't use the power of the Great Rune to enlarge his body to gain higher strength and agility attribute bonuses.

It also has the power to suppress lion hybrids.

The lion hybrid gave a strong shake, deflecting the White Consciousness giant sword, causing it to fall heavily to the ground.

The lion hybrid immediately leaped back, creating some distance.

"So strong, so strong!"

"Warrior, you have passed the test and earned my approval."

"But I'm sorry, I can't end this battle like this. Show us all the power you have!"

"Bang!"

The Crucible Knight, who had been standing on the high wall watching the two men fighting, also jumped down.

"Powerful warrior, please face our joint attack from now on."

"This is not to bully the weak with our numbers, but we really want to see how much power you have."

"…Whether your power can bring an end to General Ratan is very important to us."

The Crucible Knight and the Lion Hybrid stood side by side, their eyes revealing a kind of desire and hope.

The combat capability that Bai Shi currently displayed alone was already better than that of the lion hybrid.

As a warrior participating in the battle festival, he is already quite outstanding.

But Bai Shi seemed to still have some strength left, so they wanted to see it for themselves, to see the true level of this warrior.

If he really had the possibility of defeating General Latan.

They would take out the greatsword of the ruins that was treasured in the Red Lion City and give it to him, allowing him to use that powerful weapon to fight General Ratan.

The relic sword is a powerful weapon that cannot be compared with the giant sword in his hand. With it, the possibility of success will definitely be greater.

Bai Shi carried the giant sword on his shoulder.

He was also very happy to be able to exercise after a long time.

"No problem. I'm here to give General Latarn a glorious end."

"My strength will reassure you."

As soon as Bai Shi finished speaking, the Crucible Knight rushed over with a large shield raised, and pointed the large shield with horns at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi kicked the shield with his foot to block its attack, then swung his greatsword to block the Crucible Knight's slash.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the lion hybrid attacked from Bai Shi's side and aimed at his shoulder.

The two of them cooperated skillfully and had a tacit understanding with each other, leaving almost no time for Bai Shi to react.

But Bai Shi is not helpless.

He let go of the greatsword with his right hand and used only his left hand to fight against the Crucible Knight.

Bai Shi swung his right hand towards the greatsword that the lion hybrid chopped down, but the gauntlet collided with the sword and bounced the greatsword away.

Without the support of one hand, the power to suppress the Crucible Knight's sword was also weakened.

The Crucible Knight took the opportunity to push up the great shield, and the Lion Hybrid's greatsword fell to the ground. He also released one of his claws holding the sword and quickly grabbed towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi jumped backwards, dodging the two attacks.

The Crucible Knight and the Lion Hybrid were even more delighted to see how powerful Bai Shi was.

After regrouping, they prepared to attack again.

Bai Shi was also eager to fight, and the Furnace Knight and the Lion Hybrid cooperated very well, giving them almost no time to react.

However, their fight was stopped by an old voice.

"Okay, stop being rude to the warriors participating in the battle festival."

"I understand your urgency, but you can't treat your guests like this."

"Besides, his strength far exceeds yours. You alone cannot test his true power."

The three of them looked up at the direction where the sound came from.

On the high platform in the square, there was an old knight wearing strange clothes.

"I'm sorry I didn't go out to greet you."

"Storm King of Stonewell, please forgive me."
