Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 194: Blessing of the Sun (5k)

Melina looked at Bai Shi worriedly.

Ever since the destruction of those Esti from the starry sky, Bai Shi has become a little strange.

Especially just now, he suddenly started laughing.

She had never seen Bai Shi express emotions so strongly.

"Bai Shi, what on earth happened just now?"

"It's not as simple as just having a god appear..."

Baizhi was detached from his own thoughts.

He organized his words and explained to Melina:
"It seems to be because of the gravity magic just now..."

"I have been noticed by the Outer Gods."

"In the starry sky, I saw two powerful and ancient gods."

Melina was quite nervous when she heard the term "Outer God" from Bai Shi's mouth.

"Outer God?"

"how so……"

That's an outer god, it's hard to look at it with common sense.

Moreover, he even met two Outer Gods.

"How come the Outer Gods..."

"Did they do anything to you?"

Bai Shi shook his head.

"It's okay, don't worry."

“They didn’t do anything to me. On the contrary, they gave me a lot of help.”

"For example, I can see you now, probably thanks to them."

Melina was stunned.

She only realized now that Bai Shi had been looking at her and talking.

Melina circled around Bai Shi and stretched out her left hand, waving it in front of his eyes as if to confirm.

Bai Shi's sight was also following Melina.

Bai Shi was amused by her action and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Melina seemed to realize that her previous actions were a bit childish.

But Melina was also very happy when she confirmed that Bai Shi could see her now.

However, the uneasiness always lingered in her heart.

Outer Gods, would they really bestow power without any reason?

Melina didn't feel that she had given nothing.

She knows Bai Shi too well.

Even if he really paid a price, he would definitely not tell her and make her worry.

If it were an ordinary matter, it would be fine, but since it involves the Outer Gods, there is no room for carelessness.

So Melina decided to ask:

"So, what's the price?"

Bai Shi thought about it and felt that this time there really didn't seem to be anything worth paying.

"It doesn't cost anything."

"Do you remember the Headless Temple Knight we encountered before?"

Melina nodded.

"Those headless temple knights are following the soulless demigod Godwin."

"They tried to use the fading sun to call back Godwin's spirit."

"And to do so, we need to completely block out the sun's brightness."

"The one who finds me is the real sun."

"What I need to do now is to solve the ritual of maintaining the fading sun and completely crush Godwin's coffin."

"In this way, the true sunshine will shine again on the border area."

Although Melina has not fully understood the cause and effect relationship, it is indeed not a problem for Bai Shi if it is just to destroy the ritual of the Faded Sun.

As long as you find the location of the ceremony, there will be no difficulty.

"What about the other one?"

"Didn't you just say that two Outer Gods came looking for you?"

Bai Shi thought about it and there was nothing much to say about the other one.

He didn't say anything, just stuffed the food into his mouth.

"The other one..."

"That one is the god of gravity. It seems that he admires me because of the powerful gravity moves I use."

"But I couldn't communicate with Him at all. He just gave me a force."

Melina was a little stunned after hearing this.

Why are all the Outer Gods that Bai Shi meets so easy to talk to?
-
Bai Shi believes that the sun is undoubtedly a good god... No, that's not the case.

After all, to God, the concepts of good and evil are meaningless.

Regardless of good or evil, it should be said that the concept of the sun is consistent with the definition of goodness by the white consciousness.

Other gods cannot be said to be evil. Even Scarlet Corruption and the Invisible Mother only have their own unique ideas.

Just like evil people also need a savior of evil.

The logic of the sun's behavior is undoubtedly quite consistent with white-minded values.

He does not ask for anything from the illuminated world, but simply sheds His light.

It can be said that it is a complete charity to those worlds.

But at the same time, because it has no vested interests in those worlds, it is simply a charity to them.

So if there is a world that cannot be illuminated by the sun, He will not intervene.

It was just like the world I had seen before, a world that seemed to be based on the blood curse.

The sun was blocked from outside by various gods, but He would not bother to stop it personally.

Only in a world like the Borderland, where there are still people who can resonate with Him and establish a connection with Him, will He try to save it.

Therefore, He generously bestowed enormous power upon White Consciousness.

Moreover, in the future, Bai Shi will have the opportunity to use the power of the sun to inject the relevant laws of the sun into the burned Great Rune of Latan.

Bai Shi carefully felt the power surging from his body.

As his thoughts progressed, the remaining fire in his body burned even more vigorously.

Melina looked at the burns on Bai Shi's body curiously.

"Is this the mark the sun left on you?"

"Will it hurt?"

Bai Shi shook his head.

“A little bit when I first accepted it.”

Obviously, the burning embers are more than just beautiful.

This is a blessing bestowed by the sun itself, a protection from the sun.

Bai Shi now has a very detailed grasp of his body and can directly feel some of the enhanced effects.

Life seems to have improved a little, but not too much.

From what Bai Shi has sensed so far, the most obvious and powerful thing is the resistance to fire.

After being burned by the sun's fire, Bai Shi directly gained extremely high fire resistance.

A rough estimate is that the fire resistance is about 60 to 70 percent.

It can be said that most of the fire attacks at the border now hit Bai Shi, which is just like tickling.

If you wear some equipment with excellent fire-resistant performance, you can even be almost immune to fire.

This alone is ridiculously strong.

But this is just one of the effects, there are many other effects besides this.

The recovery speed of energy and magic seems to have increased as well.

However, the remaining effects cannot be felt by yourself here alone.

Let's test it again tomorrow.

Maybe there will be extra bonuses during the day.

Bai Shi put away the Star-Breaking Sword and turned to walk towards the Red Lion City.

Before leaving, Bai Shi suddenly recalled the figure with long fiery red hair that he had just seen on the distant sand dunes.

"That's Lani, right?"

'Does the soul still look the same?'

"That looks pretty good."

Bai Shi has no problem with the body of the Lani doll.

But it was obvious that Bai Shi thought Lani's original appearance was more beautiful.
-
The soldiers had already hidden far away.

Now that the dust has settled, they, who were shocked by the devastating blow just now, have finally come to their senses.

Some of them had seen from afar the storm that penetrated the sky and earth in Stonewell.

But seeing it up close and seeing it from afar are completely different feelings.

Such a blow was so powerful that it even frightened them.

Could anyone in the Borderland really have such power? Even General Ratan, the strongest gravity magician in the Borderland, would not have been able to perform such a blow in his prime.

Moreover, in previous battles, it seemed that apart from the Relic Greatsword, Bai Shi had never demonstrated any control over gravity.

The soldiers each tried to figure out how Bai Shi did it, but they just couldn't imagine it.

This is really beyond common sense.

When the soldiers spotted Bai Shi's figure appear in their sight, they went to meet him.

They were secretly surprised when they saw the burn marks on Bai Shi's body, some bright and some dark, as if he had been burned.

It seems that Bai Shi's use of such power is not without cost.

Do I have to burn myself to gain such power?
Some Faded Ones who had participated in the Giant War quickly associated it with the evil god of fire believed by the giants.

The giants also relied on sacrificing themselves to exchange power for the evil god of fire.

Is it possible...

However, this is completely different from the giants' sacrifice to the evil god of fire.

What is going on here?
Bai Shi looked at the people in front of him with different expressions, staring at the burn marks on his body, and roughly guessed what they were thinking.

They seemed to treat the ember state as a side effect.

But this is just fine, let them guess.

Bai Shi couldn't explain it to them, but the noise made when using Wind Spirit Moon Shadow's super damage couldn't be concealed at all.

That's a powerful attack boost that can turn a normal attack into one with the power of a nuclear bomb.

It is quite reasonable to use some means that may bring side effects in exchange for power.

Bai Shi believes that they will use their own imaginations and find an explanation that convinces themselves.

Jie Lian stepped forward and looked at Bai Shi who had returned safely, not knowing how to express his gratitude.

White Consciousness not only helped General Latan to be free, but also brought him an exciting final battle.

He also protected General Latan's body from being desecrated by the two monsters and saved the lives of countless red lions.

"Lord Bai Shi..."

"This battle festival is really thanks to you, otherwise it would be a mess."

"If you have nothing urgent to do, please stay in Red Lion City for two more days."

"We will hold a grand banquet to celebrate your success."
-
Although the remaining fire looked somewhat alarming, it actually did not affect our lives much.

Apart from lying on the bed with the bed board burned through by the remaining fire scars, Bai Shi didn't think there was anything wrong.

After lying on the ground without any image, Bai Shi thought that it would be necessary for him to make a pyroxene crystal bed in the future.

After a good sleep, Bai Shi suddenly felt refreshed.

With the help of the blessing, Bai Shi was teleported back to the square in front of Stonewell's throne.

The space here is spacious, enough for him to display his talents to his full potential, and most importantly, there are no outsiders.

There are many people in Red Lion City, and if Bai Shi goes there to take the test, there will definitely be a large number of people watching.

Bai Shi stood in the square, testing his new powers during the day.

The sun can still be seen at the junction, although it is far away, but as long as it is there, the effect can be transmitted.

So as expected, the ember state does have additional effects during daytime.

Bai Shi could clearly feel that his magic power and energy recovery speed had increased.

Although the reply speed is not particularly exaggerated, it is completely sufficient.

After all, with Bai Shi's current strength, he doesn't consume much energy and magic power on a normal basis.

This slight increase in recovery is enough to make his endurance many times stronger.

And now that it is in the state of embers, the damage of the flames will naturally be greatly improved.

Bai Shi casually ignited a ball of black flame, using the same magic power as before. The size and power of the black flame were far beyond before.

I haven't learned the other fire-related prayer skills yet, so I don't know how much they have improved.

It seems that I must take some time to study more next time.

After exploring the 'Eternal City' Noklongen, you will begin your journey of learning.

Speaking of which, it seems that fire resistance needs to be tested a little bit...

The fire resistance you estimate yourself is definitely not as accurate as your personal experience.

The Black Flame was once a flame with the power of destined death, the flame of hunting gods.

But ever since the Night Eyes Queen and the Godskin Apostles were defeated by Marika's shadow beast Maricus and sealed their destined death, the Black Flame no longer has the power to hunt gods, but only retains some of the characteristics of burning the enemy's life.

Bai Shi took off his armor to avoid the already tattered armor being burned.

A ball of black flame was released from Bai Shi's hand and smashed towards himself.

The black flames had almost no effect on the white consciousness. Apart from the scorching temperature, it only caused a few tiny wounds to the white consciousness.

Bai Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the previous estimate of 60 to 70 percent fire resistance was conservative.

The black flame didn't hold back on its strength just now.

According to the current situation, it seems that the fire resistance should be around 90%.

Excluding the fire resistance attribute increased during the day, the fire resistance is about 80% under normal conditions.

I tested the ice-attribute magic and combat skills again, and found that their power had not been reduced.

However, the ice and snow around you will melt quickly, so it can be said that there is a slight impact.

These are permanent effects that grow stronger during the day, reaching their peak at noon.

To summarize, the Sun's bonus brings:
Increased health, increased mana and energy recovery, extremely high fire resistance, and increased flame power.

Aside from the extremely high value given for fire resistance, the others are not too outrageous.

Basically, this can be achieved by relying on the buff of the Supreme Prayer.

But after all, it is a permanent passive effect that is given for free, and it is already very good to have such a comprehensive effect.

Although it’s not completely without negative impact.

For example, no matter what kind of armor you are wearing, parts of it will be burned by the flames.

In this case, the defense of the equipment will be greatly reduced.

In addition to these permanent passive effects, Bai Shi also gained other very powerful abilities.

As firewood, how can you not burn yourself?
White consciousness can obtain attribute enhancements by burning itself, using itself as fuel.

When the minimum combustion is maintained, it can burn for a long time relying on natural recovery.

It can be considered a semi-permanent effect during a fight.

If combined with the Red Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle and other blood recovery effects, it can burn longer and more vigorously.

The more vigorously you burn yourself, the greater the improvement you will get.

However, if you burn too quickly, you can easily be burned to ashes.

If you let it burn, although the attribute improvement it brings is enormous, it will only take a dozen seconds to burn Bai Shi to death.

However, such a horrific blood-burning effect is actually not a problem at all for Bai Shi.

Because he is a man with Feng Ling Yue Ying.

As long as you open infinite health, you can directly use maximum burn, which is equivalent to a permanent buff of extremely high magnitude.

Originally, every time you used Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, you had to choose between infinite health, invincible life-saving, and super damage output, but now you basically don’t have to choose.

A 5-minute super buff, unlimited health, and both offensive and defensive capabilities. No one knows who can fight him.

Another ability...

A ball of warm light appeared in Bai Shi's hand.

This is sunshine, and it can shine the warm power of this sun on others and heal them.

This is similar to the recovery prayers such as grace and blessing.

However, unlike the recovery prayer which has many different specifications, the healing effect of sunlight is simply determined by how much magic power is output.

In the future, other effects can also be developed, such as group attack and defense enhancements.

This is not just warm sunshine, it can also turn into a scorching sun that destroys everything.

The next moment, following Bai Shi's will, the warm sunlight turned into an orange-yellow blazing flame.

The flame emitted such high temperature that even the space was distorted.

The flames used on the border basically come from prophecies about fire or the flames of evil gods.

The rest include spiritual fire, black flame, golden flame of the beast Elden, blood flame of Monger, etc.

What Bai Shi is using now is the unique power of the sun.

Because of its unique form of existence, it does not flicker like ordinary flames, but can be shaped at will.

Bai Shi condensed the flame in his palm, and it turned into an orange-yellow spear.

Although it is not essentially the same as the Sunshine Gun in Dark Soul, who can say that this is not the Sunshine Gun?
Because there was no suitable subject to test his skills on, the sunlight gun in Bai Shi's hand was not fired and dissipated in his hand.

Bai Shi thought about the fire just now and began to ponder.

Although the power of this flame does seem to be quite strong, it doesn’t seem to be anything special about it?

When we return to Gallid, we will try to use this flame against the Crimson Corruption.

As the power of a god, the effect should be much stronger than ordinary flames.

The power given by the sun is quite strong, and Bai Shi is very satisfied.

Bai Shi also took the opportunity to test what kind of power the white dwarf gave him.

The destruction wave released by the Relic Greatsword is a little more powerful, but there is nothing else.

Bai Shi guessed that this was probably a gravity magic bonus, or a buff like gravity magic affinity.

However, since he had never learned gravity magic, Bai Shi had no way of knowing whether there were any other effects besides the increase in power.

Bai Shi still couldn't forget to use gravity magic to gather rocks and drive the Gundam.

This is a man’s romance!
After staying in the square in front of the throne for a while, Bai Shi used the blessing to teleport back to Gaileed.

　I've been having a lot of things lately. I have to eat several meals, relatives from other places come over, college entrance examination candidates have a banquet, etc. I will update once on days when I have things to do. When I have nothing to do, I will try to update twice a day_(:з」∠)_
