Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 300: Don’t look back, old woman. I am a brave man.
Bai Shi took the head of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, in his hand and placed it in front of him to observe it carefully.

This head is quite huge and is made very delicately.

At this moment, Bai Shi couldn't tell whether the skull was made from the corpse of a lion or was made by hand by the Horned People.

No matter what, this head has experienced the descent of the divine beast and has become spiritual and possessed unique powers.

Bai Shi could feel that there was a power on this head that seemed to be directly connected to the heaven and earth.

Bai Shi took a look at the charred and badly damaged head of the mythical beast.

In the end, Bai Shi still tried to wear the head of the mythical beast on his head.

An inexplicable fluctuation created a special connection between Bai Shi and the head.

As Bai Shi opened his eyes again, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the beast's head.

At this moment, the eyes on the beast's head were directly connected to Bai Shi's consciousness, allowing him to see things.

Bai Shi stretched out his hand, and suddenly the storm swirled around him with unprecedented ferocity.

As long as Bai Shi is willing, he can now change the celestial phenomena immediately.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to take off the head of the mythical beast and not put it on for the time being.

I always feel... a little uncomfortable.

At least wait until you get back to wash and repair it before wearing it again.

In fact, the head of the mythical beast dancing lion looks okay in appearance, not too terrible.

The majestic lion head is still very domineering.

Besides, Bai Shi is a Soul Game player, and his main feature is the freedom to dress however he wants.

The reason why he doesn’t wear the Platinum Son’s head is because in the real world, people are more concerned about their reputation.

Bai Shi recalled the feeling when he was wearing the skull just now, which was in stark contrast to the current feeling.

As long as you put it on, it seems that you can improve your use of the power of nature.

Among them, the three attributes of wind, thunder and ice are all among those that receive bonuses, and the effect of enhancing the storm is the most significant.

In other words, this is a piece of equipment with special effects.

And it seems to be just right for Baishi's major.

Bai Shi's ice attribute is too weak, and Dragon Thunder is different from ordinary lightning, so it can't get any bonus.

It just so happens that the storm controlled by Bai Shi is very strong, and this divine beast's head has the highest bonus to the storm, so the properties are quite compatible.

Ever since the attributes of life and strength broke through the limits, Bai Shi also discovered the upper limits of items such as amulets.

The power of the amulet is no longer enough to support the part above the limit.

For example, if Bai Shi now uses the 'Legend of the Broken Star' amulet to replace a certain amulet on his body.

Then the Strength +5 effect on 'Legend of the Broken Star' may only be enough to add a little strength, or even no strength at all.

Above the boundary is a completely different situation than before.

Therefore, Bai Shi will try his best to add other attributes next, striving to make more attributes break through the limits.

The head of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, does not directly enhance attributes, but its effect is to strengthen the connection between consciousness and nature.

This is just right and will not waste attributes.

Simply put, Bai Shi will be able to mobilize the storm more easily in the future, the power will increase, the consumption will decrease, and the range will become wider.

It is equivalent to receiving some kind of blessing from heaven and earth, or becoming a part of nature.

Bai Shi put away the head of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, and touched his chin.

Mythical beast...

What kind of existence is the source of the lion dance and the one revered by the horned people?
Judging from the battle performance just now, the divine beast does exist.

But for some unknown reason, the divine beast seemed unable to take action on its own and could only lower its power.

Bai Shi raised his head and looked at the sky which had returned to calm.

Did the beast die as well? Like the ancient king, it turned into a form that could not be easily attacked?
Bai Shi began to re-examine his own state.

There is absolutely no problem physically. I just need to accumulate enough runes to break through the limit of another attribute.

When the three attributes break through the limits, Bai Shi will be able to go one step further and reach the level where he can truly become the king.

But... the armor on my body is no longer able to support such a battle.

This set of armor has been with him for a long time and has been used in countless battles.

Although it is still usable after some repairs, it is no longer able to keep up with his strength.

Bai Shi touched the tattered armor on his body.

After putting it on, he first had a fierce battle with Latan, and then immediately fought with two Esti.

It was repaired once after the incident in Red Lion City and can still be used.

And recently there have been continuous battles, first with Munger and then with the mythical beast lion dance, and the damage has become even more serious.

Now the armor on his body is badly damaged, and it is difficult to continue to perform the duty of protecting his body.

Even if we repair it after returning to Stonewell, the defense will be reduced.

Bai Shi sighed.

After all, they are just the scales of the flying dragon Yakir. At best, they can only participate in battles at the demigod level.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about changing your gear.

When the time comes, put this equipment in the second place, or use it as daily wear or something.

Later on, you will need to find some more powerful materials to build a set of armor for combat.

But when you can find it depends on luck.

At this moment, Bai Shi suddenly discovered that a dark glow of a shadow appeared on the corpse of the mythical beast Dancing Lion on the ground nearby.

At this moment, the shadow tree in the distance also sent a memory to Bai Shi.

Bai Shi ignored the memory and looked at the mutated corpse of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, on the ground.

I saw the shadow blessing on its body begin to fall off and re-condense around it.

Eventually, these blessings turned into four fragments of the Shadow Tree.

Bai Shi picked up the fragments and kept them silently.

It seems that defeating powerful enemies who are blessed can take away the blessing of the Shadow Tree from them.

This saves the trouble of collecting the items, and can save a lot of time.

It’s just that the horned warriors and cursed swordsmen from before were not weak, but they were not broken into pieces.

It seems that obtaining the Shadow Tree fragments in this way is not that easy.

Now including the two pieces collected before, Bai Shi has collected six fragments on his body.

If all six fragments were used, one would probably be able to obtain blessings in the Shadow Land and increase one's strength.

Bai Shi hesitated for a moment and decided not to use it immediately.

Now that there is no blessing, only those guys who have been blessed by the Shadow can barely fight him for a few moves.

Bai Shi wanted to fight a few more times, so he didn't use it.

Anyway, if I encounter a strong enemy, the worst that can happen is that I can just crush the blessing.

Moreover, if the situation becomes extremely difficult for him, Feng Ling Yue Ying would be more direct than blessing.
-
Only after seeing that the battle here was over did Leida and Freya dare to return to the stage of the divine beasts.

Just now, the two of them went to another place.

The previous battle was massive, with terrifying power permeating everywhere. There was no place that could be called safe.

If you approach them casually, you will be hurt by the power of one of them.

Therefore, although the two of them were very concerned about the battle process, they had to stay away from the divine beast stage.

The two of them took the elevator and reached the upper level of the Divine Beast Stage, which was also the true pinnacle of Tower Town.

At this time, Bai Shi also went there under their leadership.

After crossing the long stairway to heaven, Bai Shi raised his head at the end.

What appeared before Bai Shi was a magnificent town rooted in the air.

The town's majestic gate is entangled by dark shadow tree roots, isolating outsiders from entering.

Judging from its scale, it is definitely not much smaller than the Tower Town below.

Bai Shi looked down and found that the upper and lower parts were physically connected by pillars.

How on earth did the Horned People build things like this in the past?

At this time, the white spirit on the stairs kept repeating the words in his mouth:

"...the tower hidden by shadows - our tower, our spiral."

"Please guide that sir to become a god - a god who can save our people..."

Bai Shi was shocked when he heard Bai Ling's words.

Michaela, actually wants to become a god here?! —
Becoming a god is something that Bai Zhi has almost no information about now.

In the game, players will eventually become the King of Elden.

However, there is a great lack of information about the king’s companion, God.

Originally, Bai Shi believed that only the god-man who became a partner with the king could become a god after re-manifesting the Elden Ring and serve as a container for the Ring.

So it seems that it is possible to become a god before that?

What the hell does this happen?

In most endings, the player becomes a companion to the remains of Queen Marika, eventually manifesting the magic circle and continuing the era.

In the Star Ending, he and Lani hid the Ring from the border.

This ending is special. Unlike traditional gods and kings, Lani did not serve as a container for the magic ring. In this case, it is indeed unclear whether Lani became a god at that time.

It seems that all previous speculations about becoming a god need to be overturned.

So Michaela gave up his body in order to become a god?
But if he abandons the body, he will also abandon all the laws in it as the destiny and manifestation of the God-man.

Two drops of cold sweat flowed down Bai Shi's head.

Mikaela possesses several elements: pure gold, the abundance of the sacred tree, and...innate charm.

As the purest golden demigod born of Marika and Radagon, Michaela is able to research unique pure gold.

The richness of the sacred tree was also nourished by Michaela's own flesh and blood.

If he were to discard all the power and body he had acquired after birth, then the only thing that would be left would be his innate charm.

If Michaela wanted to use this trait to become a god...

It seems that Michaela really wants to do something like Infinite Tsukuyomi to make all the disputes disappear.

Bai Shi looked at the pitch-black tree roots in front of him and felt that he could burn them, so he temporarily put his mind at ease.

He is now also a person who can see the phantom of fire. As long as he finds the real body of the seal, he can remove it.

However, the situation is unclear now, and Bai Shi has no idea about the conditions for becoming a god and Michaela's progress.

From the words of Bai Ling, we can know that the seal of the tower is indeed causing trouble for Michaela.

Therefore, Bai Shi does not intend to act rashly now.

If the seal is lifted in advance without understanding the situation, Michaela will succeed.

Maybe I should go back and ask Lani.

If she is also a deity, she should know something about becoming a deity, right?
Just as Bai Shi was thinking frantically, Leida's voice came:
"It seems that I can't enter..."

"Master Bai Shi, we have decided to leave for a while and return to the Holy Tree."

"I'll take my leave first."

Bai Shi looked at Leida and nodded to her.

Then, Leida and Freya disappeared in front of him with the help of the power of blessing.

Bai Shi touched his chin.

Leida is really cautious and is still on guard against him.

She might be the only one among these Michaela followers who knew the truth, but it seemed that she could not be expected to speak.

Bai Shi thought about it, then returned to the Tower Town.

The sound of summoning the mythical beast, the dancing lion, and performing the descent of the gods made him somewhat concerned.

He had explored the Tower Town before and knew the general situation.

The only possibility now is the old horned woman who is silent in the warehouse.

Maybe she had already woken up after they left the warehouse and entered the divine beast stage.

Bai Shi wants to try to communicate and see if he can learn some information.
-
At this moment, in the warehouse of Tower Town, the old horned woman felt the breath of the divine beast disappear, and her heart was dead.

Did the beast leave them again? Did they fail again?

……

Footsteps sounded in front of her, and the old woman sensed the breath of the attacker.

When she felt the golden blessing on Bai Shi, she suddenly became furious.

Everything is ruined anyway...

If that's the case, then what is there for her to be afraid of?

Before Bai Shi could stand still, the old woman spoke first:

"What are you...?"

"...Another minion of Messermo?"

"...Aren't you guys bored?"

"Why are you still looking for me, an old lady?"

"A fire burned our land and hid the tower with its shadow—"

"You've taken away and destroyed everything we have, and you still think you're not despicable enough?"

Bai Shi's mouth twitched.

The old lady from the corner is not very friendly.

The old woman took a breath, and then spoke again aggressively:

“…You sons of evil women, remember this!”

"The wrath of the divine beast will bring retribution sooner or later."

"You can continue to abuse me, an old woman, and wait for the disaster to come!"

"...Hurry up, get started."

"Then go and publicize what good things you have done."

"If you don't have the guts, just tuck your tail between your legs and get lost."

"The hateful son of an evil woman!"

“…Get out!”

Bai Shi covered his head, feeling overwhelmed.

He didn't do anything, but he was scolded by the old woman.

Now Bai Shi was a little overwhelmed and couldn't speak at all.

Bai Shi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Finally, he shook his head helplessly.

The old woman is still typing:

"This has been our land since ancient times!"

"Humph! So what?"

"Even if you come a few more times, you can't kill me, an old woman!"

"There's no way I'm going to beg for mercy!"

"Hurry up, get started! Keep going!"

"Let God see how ugly you are!"

When Bai Shi heard the old woman asking him to take action, he smiled with relief.

He doesn't care about the identity or age of his enemy.

But facing this old woman who could only talk, he had no reason to take action.

It would be strange to be calm and composed when your home is destroyed.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi suddenly turned around and walked out of the room.

This old horned woman seemed unable to see and could only rely on her senses to judge who was coming.

The head of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, carries the aura of a brave man.

Bai Shi has not spoken a word so far, but his body shape can also change.

If used properly, maybe I could fool her?

After all, this old horned woman doesn't seem to be in a very good mental state, and she is probably just one step away from going crazy.

“…Be cursed…”

"The children of the evil woman, the children of Marika..."

"May all of you be cursed..."

"The wrath of the divine beast, descend..."

Ignoring the curses muttered by the old woman, Bai Shi walked out of the house.

He took out the head of the mythical beast, the dancing lion, and enlarged its size to the same size as the brave men who danced the lion.

Bai Shi then removed the golden blessing he had attached to his eyes and picked up the horned warrior's large curved sword.
-
The old Horned Woman let out all of her anger in one breath, breathing heavily.

When she came to her senses, the son of the evil woman who had just appeared in front of her had disappeared.

"?"

"Why is he gone?"

Just when the old horned woman was puzzled, she suddenly felt a breath that made her ecstatic.

“…Hmm…!”

This sacred aura! This majestic figure! It can't be wrong!

The old woman with the horned man's expression relaxed and she smiled happily.

"...Oh, this fragrance..."

"Is it the brave man who has arrived?"

"Oh oh... I can't sense the breath of the divine beast. Mother-in-law, I'm still worried."

"Ah, luckily I was just worrying too much."

"Luckily, it's really fortunate."

"Our prayers have finally reached heaven."

"You were the one who drove away the enemy just now."

Bai Shi stood in front of the old woman from the Horned Man Sect, smiling but saying nothing.
