Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 303 Rare people!
Bai Shi looked at the spiritual fire dragon in front of him and released the Holy Law of Death, which he had not used for a long time.

As the holy seal in Bai Shi's hand lit up, a golden holy law pattern quickly spread across the lake in front of him.

The power of the Holy Law soon reached the feet of the Spirit Fire Dragon.

When the light of the Holy Law of Death passed through it, the worms and flesh on the Spirit Fire Dragon's body fell off one after another, and it let out a painful roar.

Seeing the Spirit Fire Dragon's huge reaction to the Holy Law of Correcting Death, Bai Shi was certain that this dragon was indeed a creature of death.

Seeing the spirit fire dragon rushing towards him, Bai Shi slowly took out the secret treasure he obtained in the Tower Town: the double-headed sword 'Eperia'.

Let's use this guy to try out the sword.

The spiritual fire dragon quickly attacked Bai Shi, and its bony wings slammed down.

Bai Shi injected magic power into Aperia, releasing the combat skills inherent in the weapon.

Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared on Aperia, and magic power was ready to be unleashed.

Bai Shi aimed Aperia at the attacking wings of the Spirit Fire Dragon.

Aperia floated in front of Bai Shi's palm, spinning continuously at high speed, forming a dazzling vortex.

The dry bones of the spirit fire dragon were immediately sucked into the whirlpool of Aperia which was constantly spinning, and were wiped out inch by inch by the sword.

The Spirit Fire Dragon only then slowly realized that it had lost one of its wings, and it moved its body backwards.

After seeing the power of Aperia's fighting skills, Bai Shi finally had a different opinion of it.

It seems that there is no difference between this fighting skill and turning around.

The damage of holy attributes is also quite powerful.

If you look at it by the standards of ordinary weapons, it's actually pretty good.

However, for a weapon that had been enhanced to +9 and was considered a secret treasure of the tower, this performance was only mediocre.

The Star-Breaking Greatsword of the same enhancement level is much stronger than this weapon.

At this moment, the guardian spirit transformed from the old horned woman's son also opened his mouth, and the skull kept summoning resentful souls to attack the spirit fire dragon.

The Spirit Fire Dragon roared angrily, and then spewed out a surging cold Spirit Fire from its mouth, sweeping towards Bai Shi.

The countless resentful souls that the guardian spirit had summoned with great difficulty were instantly swept away by the spiritual fire.

Guardian spirit, what on earth are you guarding?

Bai Shi jumped up and dodged the oncoming spiritual fire.

His figure twisted and turned in the air, and the Aperia in his hand left deep scars on different parts of the Spirit Fire Dragon's body.

In the process of fighting with the Spirit Fire Dragon, Bai Shi gradually gained some experience with this special weapon and his skills continued to improve.

Aperia's sharp sword easily cut through the already highly corrupted corpse of the spirit fire dragon.

The hard bones could not hinder the sword blade at all, and the maggots attached to the bones were also cut off smoothly.

If it were an ordinary flying dragon, it would have been completely defeated by now.

However, as this spiritual fire dragon is a mortal creature, it is difficult to completely destroy it with ordinary injuries.

Finally, Bai Shi flew above the Spirit Fire Dragon, and Aperia lightly tapped its head with one end, pushing him upwards for a distance again.

Bai Shi pointed the tip of the sword of Aperia in his hand at the spine of the spirit fire dragon and chopped it down swiftly under the push of the storm.

Ye my insect stick secret - subdue the dragon!

With a flash of the knife, Bai Shi's figure fell into the water with a loud bang, and the huge impact caused waves on the lake.

The spirit fire dragon's head flew several meters in the air before falling into the lake along with its headless body.

Bai Shi aimed at the head of the spiritual fire dragon and released another Holy Law of Death to completely extinguish the spiritual fire inside.

The moment the Spirit Fire Dragon's skull was completely destroyed, its body immediately fell apart.

The flesh and blood disappeared and completely turned into dry bones, as if a long time had passed in an instant.

Bai Shi watched the spirit fire dragon disappear.

This was the first time he had seen a dead-born flying dragon.

And it's in a place like the Shadow Land.

The message hidden behind this is far more concerning than the existence of this creature.

In other words, has the power of death even penetrated the seal that separates the border area from the hidden land and seeped directly in?
This is truly amazing.

It seems that the power of death is also constantly expanding in the Shadow Land, so we should pay more attention to it.

Bai Shi was about to leave when he saw something he had never expected appear in the dry bones of the spirit fire dragon.

Bai Shi's eyes widened as he looked at the huge scale that shone with a pale light and had a rock-like texture.

This... is this the Ancient Dragon Rock Discolored Forging Stone? !
Bai Shi walked forward and picked it up.

The small words that appeared in front of it confirmed its identity. It was indeed the Ancient Dragon Rock Faded Forging Stone.

Bai Shi held the pale forging stone of ancient dragon rock in his hand, unable to believe it.

This shadowy place is really bizarre.

The Tower Town is full of junk props, even the throwing knives, mushrooms and Faded Color 1 are out.

But in the wild, a random flying dragon can actually drop the Ancient Dragon Rock Colorless Forging Stone...

The Ancient Dragon Rock Forging Stone is the top-grade forging stone at the border. It is extremely rare and each one is treasured and cherished.

It’s not that the forces that possess the Ancient Dragon Rock Forging Stone don’t want to use it to strengthen their weapons, but it’s too scarce and ordinary blacksmiths simply cannot use it for forging.

After all, weapons strengthened with ancient dragon rock forging stone are enough to be called god-killing weapons.

Originally, Bai Shi had been wandering around the border area for so long, but hadn't found any ancient dragon rock forging stone.

It was not until the end, after the Blood Dynasty was destroyed, that a piece of ancient dragon rock faded forging stone that they had worshipped was found.

As a result, in this inexplicable lake where there was no village in front and no shop behind, a spirit fire dragon was shot and a piece of it suddenly exploded out.

Is this reasonable?

Also, why does a flying dragon have the scales of a dragon king?

Bai Shi sighed and put the Ancient Dragon Rock Forging Stone away.

Now that you have it, you might as well think about how to use it.

Among Bai Shi's many weapons, only the pair of Star Crusher Greatswords and the newly acquired Aperia were enhanced to +9.

Since there are two Star Crusher Greatswords, if you want to strengthen them together, it is definitely impossible to use only one forging stone like in the game.

Compared to Aperia, whose function is unknown, the best choice seems to be to strengthen the Star Crusher to the maximum.

Having made up his mind, Bai Shi decided to wait until later and then go back to the Round Table Hall to ask Grandpa Xiu Gu.

I just don't know if Grandpa Xiu Gu has the ability to forge a god-killing weapon now.

After receiving the Ancient Dragon Rock Faded Forging Stone, Bai Shi turned and headed towards the cave entrance on the mountain.

At the entrance of the cave, there is a rusty iron gate that seals it tightly.

The cave exuded icy cold from the inside out.

Bai Shi summoned a ball of starlight, which gathered above his head and illuminated the way ahead.

Then he kicked the solid iron gate at the entrance and completely broke it down, stepping in.

This prison seemed to be carved directly into the mountain, and the road in front was very narrow at the moment.

Along the way, there are several solid metal doors, blocking the only entrance and exit between the prison and the outside world.

Bai Shi destroyed the metal gates blocking the road along the way and went deeper inside.

The torches here also burned with cold spiritual flames, illuminating the road with a pale and cold look.

These numerous heavy gates were all intact before he arrived.

It seems that even after the holy war, this prison was not discovered by Messermo's army.

The prisoners inside have not been released or discovered yet, otherwise this place would have been unblocked long ago.

After Bai Shi broke through the prison door, he finally entered the real interior of the prison.

What appeared in front of Bai Shi was an extremely huge cavity in the mountain.

Bai Shi raised his head and looked upwards, only to see that the cave in the mountain was covered with frost, and the top was covered with thick icicles hanging down.

A little light shone through a crack in the mountain, giving the prison, which was only illuminated by spiritual fire torches, a slight false warmth.

Flakes of ice flew around in the dim cave, flickering and for a moment looking like stars.

Following the drifting ice crystals, Bai Shi's sight fell on the huge pots suspended in the air by thick iron chains.

Bai Shi touched his chin.

Why do you hang the pot in the air? As a decoration?
Unable to understand the Horned People's actions, Bai Shi shook his head and turned to look at the road in the cave.

A spiral rough road continues along the stone wall, and below is a bottomless cliff.

The bottom of the prison was shrouded in an icy blue mist, and it was impossible to see what was going on underneath.

Bai Shi looked along the stairs. The rock walls along the way were densely packed with prisons, blocked by iron bars.

Along the way, there were many metal cages hanging in the air, which were exactly the bird cages seen outside the lake.

There are many dried-up corpses of Horned Men in these metal cages, with their hands and feet helplessly sticking out of the cages.

Unlike the horned people who were trapped to death in cages, many of the cells on the cliff had their doors opened.

Many Horned prisoners have already left their cells.

But the strange thing is that these horn people are also in the state of shadows.

Bai Shi supported his head with one hand, amazed at the strange phenomenon.

Now Bai Shi couldn't help but begin to doubt the process of the horn man turning into a shadow.

He could still understand if only those horned people who encountered the holy war turned into shadows.

After experiencing despair, hope was gained to survive, and thus by praying one was able to stay alive.

But these people locked up in prison may not even know what is happening in the outside world.

At most, they will find that there is no one to manage them anymore.

If we say that this is a transformation of all the horned people, then the old horned woman, the horned warrior, the cursed swordsman, and the horned man in Leida's team did not turn into shadow form.

Perhaps the shape of this shadow can be chosen by oneself?
When their prayers were answered and they were able to transform into shadows, a pop-up window popped up in front of all the horn people:
"You want to understand life... ahem, you want to become a shadow and survive?"

Bai Shi smiled, stopped thinking about it, and walked down the road.

A shadowy figure clad in black suddenly jumped out from an open cage and pounced towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi just dodged to the side and rushed directly to the bottom of the cliff.

The continuous screams disappeared after the slight sound of falling to the ground.

Although the bottom is shrouded in fog and cannot be seen clearly, judging from the sounds, there is at least a bottom at the bottom of the cave.

Bai Shi looked around and saw that there was nothing worth paying attention to, so he continued walking forward.

However, the road in front soon collapsed, the road leading downwards disappeared, and there was a wide platform underneath.

Bai Shi stood at the edge of the road, looking down at the people below.

Many prisoners had already run out from downstairs, and were constantly digging something out of the soil and putting it into their mouths.

All the wooden boxes on the platform that were frozen with frost were scattered all over the ground and torn to pieces, leaving nothing behind.

Bai Shi jumped down and came to a horned man lying on the ground, watching his movements.

When the man in the corner saw the outsider, he immediately stopped what he was doing, then staggered back in fear and ran away.

Bai Shi ignored him and looked at what he dug out from the ground.

However, after seeing that thing, Bai Shi felt a little regretful.

All I saw on the ground were fat maggots, each one was as long as a finger and very fat.

There was frost attached to the maggots, but the cold frost did not kill the maggots and they continued to wriggle.

Bai Shi looked at the people around him who were digging out these fat maggots and stuffing them into their mouths, and felt a little disgusted.

The horns really like to eat secret snacks, it's true...

Shaking his head, Bai Shi walked towards the road in front of the platform that connected to the other side.

The road ahead was very narrow, like a single-plank bridge, and could only accommodate two people.

At the back of the narrow corridor in front, two horn men were closely watching Bai Shi's actions.

Seeing Bai Shi coming towards them, they immediately rushed onto the narrow road and tried to block it.

Bai Shi waved the Aperia in his hand, spun it in front of him and made two consecutive cuts.

The sword blade flashed past, and then the horned man's body instantly broke into three pieces.

Just as he was about to cut the horned man in half, Bai Shi suddenly discovered that the sword began to glow dimly.

This weapon seems to have gained power from the previous attack?

Bai Shi immediately rushed towards the other corner man behind him, waving the Aperia in his hand continuously.

Aperia's sword flew everywhere, creating an impenetrable sword light, and the horned man's body was cut into pieces in an instant.

Following several consecutive attacks, the light on Aberia has become completely bright.

By the time the Horned Man's body pieces fell to the ground, both ends of the Aperia in Bai Shi's hand were already covered with dazzling golden light.

Aprilia drinks blood, drawing energy from life.

Eperia's sword was like a withered tree sprouting again, regaining its former glory.

Sensing the power gathered there, Bai Shi once again released Aperia's fighting skills.

Aperia floated in front of Bai Shi, and as magic power continued to flow in, it spun into a golden vortex.

A dazzling golden light suddenly rushed forward and formed a torrent.

Everything that stands in the way of the light is instantly obliterated and cannot be stopped.

Feeling the surging power, Bai Shi felt excited.

Now he finally found out how to use this double-headed sword.

It turns out that it needs to offer sacrifices with the blood of its enemies in order for it to regain its strength.

After Eperia's vortex disappeared, the sword returned to calm again, still looking half-dead and withered.

Bai Shi now finally understood why the spirit fire dragon would not provide power to Aperia.

Because she was a mortal creature, Aperia was unable to absorb the power of life.

Moreover, Bai Shi could see that what was just now was not the limit of Aperia, it had a higher upper limit.

Maybe in the future when I encounter a strong enemy, I can launch a more powerful attack after absorbing more life.

Bai Shi was very curious, how powerful could this force be?
From the beam of light that just burst out, Bai Shi felt a very familiar power.

There is no doubt that this power is the power of the ancient golden tree.

That is the power of the original golden tree after the meteor from the supreme will combined with the original life furnace at the border.

It seems that the raw materials for making this weapon were obtained from there.

The golden sword body is now in a semi-withered state and indeed has tree-like characteristics.

When I obtain the abundant power of the Michaela Sacred Tree in the future, maybe I can truly restore it and turn it into a strong and glorious one that always shines.

After putting away Aperia, Bai Shi continued to move deeper into the prison.
-
Bai Shi explored all the way into the prison, but found no useful information.

Besides the shadow horn man, there is the dead horn man.

Finally, in a small room deep in the prison, Bai Shi saw the soul of a horned man.

The soul of the horned man knelt on the ground, repeating:
"...No, no, I definitely don't want to talk about the pot..."

"I won't do it again, I really won't."

"I swear to God, I will be a good person."

"Please, spare me..."

The soul of the horned man trembled. The fear he experienced in life was so intense that he could not be relieved even after death.

Bai Shi felt somewhat puzzled after listening to the mumbling of the prisoner's soul.

Pot...are you talking about those pots outside?
What does it mean? It's not clear.

Is there something in the pot that scares him?
wrong……

Bai Shi suddenly thought that since he was a prisoner, what would scare him should be the punishment in the prison.

Just like the various methods such as solitary confinement in a small dark room in prison, it seems that the pot he mentioned is also a torture unique to the Horned People.

Walking out of the room, Bai Shi saw many large pots hung with iron chains in front of him.

These hanging pots form a downward staircase.

Bai Shi glanced at the large pot below which was tightly sealed and covered with a jar.

The pot... is it a torture tool? A place? Or...?
Bai Shi flew directly downwards and soon arrived at a wooden platform below.

Just when Bai Shi was about to explore here to see if there were any props, an upside-down large pot suddenly stood up and pounced towards him.

Bai Shi dodged the impact of the big pot, and the big pot fell to the ground and shattered by itself, revealing a meatball-like monster.

The monster looked like a meatball with thin limbs.

Seeing the monster reveal its true form, Bai Shi immediately stabbed in that direction with a sword.

But when Bai Shi saw the true appearance of the 'monster', he quickly retracted his sword and did not touch her.

Bai Shi looked at the 'monster' struggling to get up from the ground, and his eyes slowly widened.

Her pale hair, skin, and tall figure were the most defining features of her.

There is no doubt that this creature is a rare person!
