Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 136 Veteran O'Neal

Bai Shi temporarily stopped thinking about Millicent.

If she is now in the corrupt church, being guarded by corrupt followers.

Then you can just follow the game process and repair the golden needle and give it to her.

If Millicent has not been found by the corrupt followers, she is still hiding in the Ionian swamps and wandering around.

There was nothing Bai Shi could do.

He had no way of finding someone on a large scale unless he waited to meet Millicent.

But the Ionian swamps are so large that it is a bit wishful thinking to expect a chance encounter.

What we should do now is to find veteran O'Neal first.

Get the golden needle from him first, otherwise everything that comes after will be in vain.

Although I now have the neutralizing incense given by Hilbert.

But for Millicent, whose entire body has been mostly merged with the scarlet corruption in the corrupt flower, it is not certain whether this neutralization will be useful.

If the neutralization paralyzes the body organs that rely on scarlet corruption to function, it would be a bad thing.

It would be best to wait until Millicent is found and bring her to Hilbert to see.

The original purpose of the perfumer in making perfumes is to save lives. She is an excellent doctor.

The safest method is to use golden needles.

But asking the 'Sage' Gwei to repair the golden needle is not something that can be fully trusted.

The golden needle he repaired was likely tampered with.

On the broken golden needle, the color of the repaired part was the same as the scarlet color of the corruption.

And Gwei is not a good person. In order to see Millicent bloom, he will even entrust the player to kill Millicent personally.

To allow Millicent to blossom in the despair of betrayal.

Whether Gwei himself is a corrupt follower or is just possessed by a corrupt follower, there is no doubt that he is a corrupt believer.

It would be unfortunate if Millicent's fate were to be left in his hands again in this life.

If possible, Bai Shi hopes to find other ways to repair the golden needle.

Even, is it possible to find a complete golden needle?

But this seems more difficult to achieve.

But if you can do it, then it is the safest way.
-
Bai Shi continued to move forward along this patch of dead branches.

The dead branches around here are becoming more and more dense.

Torret no longer had to step in the corrupt lake water and could jump between dead branches.

Soon after, a group of very tall and thick dead branches appeared in front of us, pointing straight to the sky.

These dead branches twisted, stretched towards the sky, and then entangled and connected with each other.

As he got closer, Bai Shi gradually heard the sound of fighting.

"Why are there sounds of fighting?"

"Who will it be?"

Knowledge made Torret quicken his pace and rush over to take a look.

As he got closer to the battlefield, Bai Shi heard increasingly louder shouts, one after another.

This was not the noise that could be caused by a few people fighting, but it was like an entire army was fighting.

Bai Shi and Torrett stepped on dead branches and came to the vicinity of the battlefield.

Taking advantage of the high terrain, Bai Shi could see the entire battlefield clearly.

On this piece of land, fungi grow and cover it, forming a terrace like coral.

On it, there were hundreds of spirit soldiers fighting with four girls.

Without exception, these spiritual soldiers were all exile soldiers, which were now the storm soldiers in Stonewell.

Some of them held swords and shields, some held bows and crossbows, attacking from the front and back, coordinating from near and far.

The high-pitched war cries continued to boost the army's morale.

In such a situation, the four girls who were besieged were not weak and were not targets of bullying.

On the contrary, these four girls with similar looks swept through the entire army as if they were in an empty space.

Veteran O'Neill stood behind the soldiers.

But what was strange was that the veteran who was supposed to go forward and fight side by side with these soldiers had no intention of going forward.

Of course it’s impossible that he’s too old to dare to fight.

With the dignity of veteran O'Neal, as long as his body has not turned into ashes, he will definitely fight alongside the soldiers.

The reason why he is watching the battle from the back is because of hesitation and confusion.
-
These four girls who suddenly appeared had different weapons but looked very similar.

In addition, their hair color, clothing and other aspects all prove that they are sisters.

That appearance and hair color reminded veteran O'Neill of Lady Marlenia.

And they have the same imperfect and disabled parts as Lady Marlenya.

These factors cannot be explained by coincidence at the border area.

Veteran O'Neill felt that the four of them had some relationship with Lady Marennia.

That's why he stayed behind the soldier and observed carefully.

Now he has confirmed that it is indeed the case.

These four people definitely have some relationship with Lady Marennia.

Not only was there scarlet corruption around the mutilated eye.

Some of them even release the aura of Lady Mikaela.

Has a similar appearance, but possesses both Mutilation and Crimson Corruption.

Although I don’t know what their relationship is with Lady Marennia, there is definitely a connection, there is no doubt about it.

How to deal with them?

I don't know what they are trying to do.

He rushed over and started attacking without any explanation. If he hadn't summoned the soldiers' ashes in time, he would have been captured long ago.

Since the other party was planning to take his life, O'Neill was not going to surrender.

Although he was just a ghost wandering on the battlefield, he had long lost the reason to live.

However, it would be too shameful to give up resistance just because these girls are related to Lady Marennia.

This reason was not enough for him to give up his life easily.

And these girls are a little strange.

Although Lady Marlenya was born with the Scarlet Corruption, she always fought against it.

But these four girls not only carry Scarlet Corruption on their bodies, they even use weapons stained with Scarlet Corruption and can also release Scarlet Corruption attacks.

In the moment that O'Neill hesitated, the four sisters had already destroyed most of the soldiers' spirits.

So O'Neill waved the military flag again and summoned the soldiers' spirits from the ashes again.

Soldiers responded to the call from the ashes and emerged from the earth.

The number of soldiers around, which had been reduced, was replenished again and even became more.

Although O'Neal is quite old, he was once a famous general with great military achievements.

This level of magic and command ability is no problem at all.

Seeing that the number of soldiers they had eliminated with great difficulty was easily replenished, the four sisters realized that they should continue fighting with the current strategy.

Although these spiritual soldiers are not strong and can be easily defeated, their physical strength and magic power will continue to be consumed.

If their physical strength is exhausted, let alone killing the veteran and taking the golden needle, they might even be captured alive by the veteran.

There was no verbal communication between the four sisters, but they had a tacit understanding and cooperated with each other to change their strategies.

Holding the Halo Scythe of the Zunfu Knight, the blind eldest sister Mary swung the halo continuously, opening a path among the spirit soldiers.

However, their intention was not to escape, but to take the lead among the thousands of enemies before their physical strength was exhausted.

Veteran O'Neal was very surprised.

He thought that if he summoned the soldiers again, they would retreat, but instead they rushed towards him.

Although the four sisters cooperated very well and the soldiers were unable to capture the city after a long siege, this decision was a bit too bold.

Since we have to fight, let’s fight.

Veteran O'Neill followed closely in Marlennia's footsteps and rushed over from the sacred tree.

He arrived in Gelide almost at the same time and took part in the Ionian War.

He has been through hundreds of battles and has made great achievements. The thing he fears least is fighting.

Just defeat them, spare their lives, and then interrogate them to find out what happened.

As a general, he is not afraid of close combat and his strength is not weak.

If they fight in close combat, it is hard to say who will win or lose.

Holding the giant tree spear high, she released the Holy Law. Jasmine, the second sister who only had her right eye, held the giant tree spear horizontally under her armpit and charged forward.

Holding two curved swords, the third sister Aimi, who was also blind, followed closely behind Jasmine who was charging forward.

Although they did not know the technique of flowing sword, with their nimble movements, the flowing swords in both hands continuously killed the soldiers who tried to stop them.

The youngest sister Pollyanna only has one left eye. At this time, she held up the mission dagger from a distance, opened her arms and released the silk thread towards the veteran.

Seeing the attacking insect silk, the old general's eyes changed.

"This is the attack method that those bugs would use. Why do you know this?"

The veteran is no stranger to insect silk.

This is the attack method used by the corrupt followers, which shoots silk from the organs in the chest cavity to attack the enemy.

Not to mention the corrupt followers he had seen in Galid, he had also seen corrupt followers on the Holy Tree. Those corrupt followers followed the scarlet corruption and came to the Holy Tree early to seek refuge with Lady Marenia.

They want Lady Marenia to be their goddess of corruption.

This is of course impossible. Lady Marennia has always resisted the scarlet corruption and continued to fight against it.

How could I give up what I have always insisted on just because of the request of corrupt relatives?

However, the holy tree did not expel these corrupt followers because of their wishes.

Instead, adhering to the concept of the sacred tree, they kept them and settled in the sacred tree.

But to be honest, O'Neill really hates these bugs.

They only wish that Malenia would become their corrupt goddess.

There is no way to know how much suffering Malenia endured in order to resist corruption.

They never come to the Holy Tree because they agree with the Holy Tree's philosophy, but just to wait for the coming of the so-called Goddess of Corruption.

The coming of the Goddess of Corruption means the death of Malenia's self, which is completely eroded by the scarlet corruption.

The people of the Holy Tree would never want to see this day, and no one would think it is a good thing.

It's just that the races in the area of the Holy Tree are harmonious, so even so, they will not be openly excluded.

Otherwise, the reputation of the Holy Tree will change.

But now, some of these people are using insect silk, which is different.

The silk threads are emitted from the bodies of those insects.

How can they use organs if they don't have them?
Either these guys with faces similar to Marlenya's are played by bugs.

Or maybe some bugs transplanted organs into them.

Whatever the case may be, it must be because of those disgusting bugs who believe in scarlet corruption.

"Those damn bugs actually came after me."

Seeing the three girls coming towards him, veteran General O'Neill waved the military flag in his hand.

This military flag is both a command prop and a battle halberd.

Although he was old, he still had the strength to swing his weapon and blocked the attacks of three people.

The military flags were dancing so loudly and there were spiritual soldiers nearby who were trying to interfere with them.

For a moment, the three sisters were unable to cause any harm to the veteran and maintained a fragile balance.

But unfortunately, O'Neill had not fought for a long time, and even misjudged the strength he had lost over the long years.

With the addition of his youngest sister Pollyanna, O'Neill gradually became unable to hold on.

He is indeed old.

The strength of these four sisters is indeed strong; after all, they are the incarnations of demigods.

And unlike Marenia, they have no resistance to the Scarlet Corruption at all.

Gained the power of Scarlet Corruption, and used it without any worries.

Every time they attacked O'Neill, the scarlet corruption in his body would surge.

Even with the suppression of the golden needles, the erosion of the scarlet corruption could be clearly felt.

Soon, as the eldest sister Mary seized the opportunity and hooked O'Neill's flag with her sickle, the other three quickly and severely injured O'Neill.

If the spiritual soldier next to him had not rushed over and blocked some of the subsequent attacks, O'Neill would probably have died on the spot.

But the current situation is not good, I am just waiting to die.

O'Neill was entangled by them and no longer had the ability or time to summon spirit soldiers to replenish the army.

And these spiritual soldiers can hardly be of any help when facing such an enemy.

Looking at the four sisters surrounding him, O'Neill did not feel any fear of his impending death, but only anger.

"Why, you just so willingly accepted the Scarlet Corruption!"

"If you really have any relationship with Lady Marenia, you shouldn't step into corruption like this!"

"Where is your self-respect? Where is your resistance? Where is your persistence!"

However, O'Neill's roar from the bottom of his heart did not even change the expressions of the four sisters.

Why persist? Why resist?

Is scarlet corruption a bad thing?
It is obvious that Scarlet Corruption can completely replace the current Golden Tree and Golden Law.

The law of reincarnation that causes the world to go from prosperity to decline is the same brilliant law of corruption.

That's the kind of world they're looking forward to.

Or rather...it was them that made them so excited.

Seeing that he couldn't convince anyone, O'Neill gave up talking and waved the military flag again, vowing to fight to the death.

"It looks like I'm going to die at the hands of the corrupt followers today."

"I really can't accept this... Lady Michaela, Lady Marenia."

The four sisters approached O'Neill again, ready to take his life.

But O'Neal can't die today.

A violent lightning strike struck in front of the four sisters, forcing them to stop.

Bai Shi came to the center of the battlefield, standing between O'Neill and the four sisters.

"The soldiers are indebted to your care."

He was just observing the situation from up there for a long time.

He had been hesitating whether or not to save the veteran.

If the veteran is rescued, then there is a possibility that the golden needle cannot be repaired through Gwei.

But seeing that the veteran was about to die, Bai Shi came anyway, and he thought it through.

Just because the golden needle is with the veteran doesn't mean we have to kill him.

Since the veteran still seems to be able to communicate, why not save him?

Bai Shi had not originally intended to rely entirely on Gewei.

Now it is obvious that the four sisters were arranged by Gewei to snatch the golden needle.

If they were allowed to take the golden needle back, Gewei could still tamper with it.

Even if Bai Shi got involved, it would be useless. After all, for such technical things, Bai Shi couldn't tell whether he had tampered with them or not.

Yes, there is no need to ask Gwei if you want to help Millicent.

In this case, we should stop Gwei even more.

After all, he was the mastermind behind the tragedy of these five sisters.

As the person holding the golden needle, perhaps the veteran can contact the sacred tree.

Ordinary gold needles are not Michaela's gold needles. Michaela's needles are carefully made by Michaela, so they are extremely rare.

For ordinary golden needles, it is impossible that there is only one such needle at the junction.

If even Gwei can repair it, then the people of the Holy Tree must be able to repair it.

It is even said that there may be intact golden needles.

Observing from a distance, the strength of these four sisters is indeed not to be underestimated.

It's probably the same as Alexander now, each of them has the power to be called a hero.

And they will continue to grow like flowers, becoming stronger and stronger until the end of their lives, when they bloom.

Although the veteran has much higher hard power, he is already on the decline and cannot fully display his strength.

In this situation, it is indeed difficult to defeat enemies of the same level.

"who are you?"

O'Neill looked at the white consciousness standing in front of him and asked in confusion.

What does it mean that the soldiers are under his care?
"I am the Storm King."

The four sisters had no moral principles and rushed forward without even waiting for Bai Shi to finish his words.

Baizhi brandished his dragon-hunting sword and spear, and the hurricane prevented them from getting close.

The third sister Aimi avoided the edge of the hurricane because of her position, then jumped up and swung the Flowing Curved Sword towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi swept the sword across and hit Aimi's side, knocking her whole body flying and hitting her heavily on a dead branch in the distance.

After the hurricane, the eldest sister Mary rushed to Bai Shi and used the same trick again, hooking Bai Shi's sword with her sickle.

But before the other two could cooperate in the attack, terrifying lightning power burst out from Bai Shi's sword and spear.

The lightning passed through Mary's body, leaving her whole body charred.

Mary soon fell to her knees, unable to move.

After one encounter, two of the four sisters lost their ability to fight.

The second sister and the youngest sister looked at the current situation and confirmed that fighting further would only lead to death.

So they each picked up their sisters and began to evacuate, fleeing the battlefield.

Neither Bai Shi nor O'Neill went after them.

The spiritual soldiers fired a few arrows and stopped chasing.

Veteran O'Neal panted and walked in front of Bai Shi.

“Thank you for your helping hand.”

Bai Shi waved his hand.

"It's nothing."

"Because I have something to ask you, too."

"I heard that you have pure gold needles here."

　Oh, I have a probability and statistics exam tomorrow, I hope I don’t fail T^T, and happy Children’s Day to everyone!
