Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 322 Nox Stella's Dragon Soldiers
Obstacles soon appeared again on Bai Shi's path forward.

Several Knox swordsmen appeared in front of Bai Shi, guarding the top of the stairs.

They wandered mechanically on the stairs, as if they were repeating their past duties.

After seeing Bai Shi, they all took out their weapons and attacked him.

These Knox swordsmen had obviously lost their minds long ago.

After the destruction of Noxstella, they have remained here.

Although the lifespan of the Night People is also very long, the time is too far away.

The era when the Knox Dynasty was destroyed was much earlier than the era when the Golden Tree was born.

Those other escaped descendants of eternity blossomed all over the borderland.

Those who stayed here quietly guarded the ruins and died with Noxstella.

Seeing that these Knox swordsmen didn't have anything worth taking away, Bai Shi shook his head.

Since the other party was unconscious, Bai Shi didn't waste any more words and directly sent a ball of fire at him.

Under the burning flames, those Knox swordsmen were instantly reduced to ashes.

After dealing with the opponent, Bai Shi continued to move forward.
-
Soon, the long staircase came to an end.

It's a pity that Bai Shi didn't collect much along the way.

Although this staircase connects multiple buildings, only a few of them contain things.

Most of them are just ruins with nothing left after being destroyed, only various scattered corpses.

It is not much different from the ruins outside, except that it is more intact. It is really sad.

At the end of the stairs, there is a platform like a sky bridge, with tall statues of Knox priests standing on both sides.

This bridge connects to another more magnificent building.

Just like the church that Bai Shi saw in the Dark Realm of Nokron, the difference between it and other buildings can be seen at a glance.

Obviously, from there you can reach the real core area of Nox Stella.

If I remember correctly, the 'Moon of Noxstella' is probably in there.

The Teardrop Holy Grail that Ashmi needs is probably also there.

I don't know the location, but it doesn't matter.

As long as he is near the Teardrop Holy Grail, Ashimi will be able to sense it.

Once you get close to the Teardrop Holy Grail, let Ashmi find it on her own.

After getting the 'Moon of Noxstella', Bai Shi plans to see the effect and then decide whether to keep it for himself.

He had picked up a key from Dujuan before, which opened the secret basement of Noklongen and brought out Celine Shanks and Shiv.

The black gem on the key also comes from Black Moon and can also play the same effect as a talisman.

Items such as Memory Stone and 'Moon of Nox Stella' that increase the memory limit in the game have changed their effects in reality.

It can speed up casting and improve the speed of thinking.

If the effect of 'Nox Stella's Moon' is similar to this, then there is not much point in staying here with Bai Shi.

After all, magic is just a candidate for him, and it doesn't rank high among his abilities.

Bai Shi wanted to give it to Lani.

Black Moon, as the moon that once shone on the 'Eternal City', might be able to give Lani some help.

The various moons on the border areas are closely connected, and their powers may also be interconnected.

Bai Shi suddenly lowered his head in deep thought.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has never given Melina anything decent...

Well...if you want to give it as a gift, it must be of the same quality, you can't favor one over the other.

Maybe the Golden Tree's Favor +2 would be nice?
Not only is it an important amulet of the Golden Tree, but according to the text, it is also an amulet once bestowed by Queen Marika herself.

Melina would definitely be happy if she received it.

It's just that I can't get it for the time being...

...Let's put it on hold for now. It's not certain whether or not to give the 'Moon of Noxstella' to Lani in the future.

If the properties are good enough and the effect is strong enough, then keep it for yourself.

Although the legendary amulet seemed to be right in front of him, Bai Shi was not in a hurry to explore it.

He turned around and walked towards the last building behind him.

At the entrance of the building, a statue of a little devil was maintaining a seal, covering a large door with dust.

Bai Shi took out a stone sword key and inserted it into the forehead of the little devil statue.

As the seal was broken, the room opened again.

I saw that it was a room full of coffins, several of which were neatly arranged.

The heavy metal coffin is carved with patterns characteristic of the Knox Dynasty, making it look very luxurious.

In the center of the room, there is an even more special coffin.

This coffin is larger than the others and takes up a lot of space.

After a little thought, Bai Shi determined that it was the place where the Night Witch and the Swordsman puppets were placed.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Shi pushed open the lid of the coffin.

As the heavy coffin lid was pushed open, two cold puppets appeared in front of Bai Shi.

A night witch and a Knox swordsman, both of them were quietly lying in the coffin.

This is an ancient golem made in the Eternal City.

Two sisters who volunteered to be puppets, puppets of the Night Witch and the Swordsman.

They are outsiders with cold blood, wielding the fluid weapons characteristic of the Knox Dynasty.

Both people in the coffin had smooth silver skin, and the lower half of their faces exposed outside the veil were equally delicate and beautiful.

The two of them looked as if they were still alive, their beauty frozen in that moment and unable to be eroded by time.

However, there was no breathing or heartbeat, which repeatedly reminded them of the fact that they had already died.

The two of them lay side by side in the cold coffin, leaning closely against each other.

In between, they held each other's palms tightly.

It is obvious that these two are sisters.

Perhaps it is because of their identities as sisters that they are allowed to become puppets together, and that is why they have special coffins.

You must know that in the Knox Dynasty, the status of the Night Witch is completely different from that of the Knox Swordsman.

The Night Witch is the highest-ranking clergyman, while the Nox Swordsman is just a guard.

Bai Shi collected the two puppets and placed them in the space disc.

According to seniority, this is probably the earliest application of puppet technology.

It would have been hard for Servais to understand how anyone could volunteer to be made into a puppet.

He doesn't have the ability to make people sacrifice for him voluntarily.

Therefore, he could only rely on deception and forced drugging to turn other people into puppets to satisfy his perverted desires.

Because of this, his puppets have nothing but hatred for him.

Even if they are made into puppets and lose consciousness, their souls will seek revenge after losing control.

It was really sad that he didn't realize that the puppet only had hatred for him.

Perhaps Servais also realized it, but he was unwilling to face the fact that all his beloved puppets hated him.

After putting away the two puppets, Bai Shi did not open the other coffins.

Apart from this pair of sisters, the other coffins may not contain puppets.

Besides, there was no use in taking so many puppets, Bai Shi only wanted to collect these two special sisters. After leaving the room, Bai Shi came to the edge of the building.

Outside there was the sound of rushing water from a waterfall.

This building is already the most marginal area of Nox Stella.

Further to the side, there is a huge height difference under the cliff, and it is another area completely different from here.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Bai Shi could clearly see the giant skeleton sitting on the huge chair.

Below is the lower reaches of the Ansel River, where the dragon soldiers of Noxstella are located.

As an achievement boss, the location of Nox Stella's dragon soldiers is quite difficult to find.

This place is not related to any of the side quests. It is a hidden boss that can only be found by exploring the underground well in Lienia.

To find it, the player has to go through an anthill filled with giant ants.

After passing through the anthill, there is still a long way to go, and it is easy to lose the way there.

When we first started to explore this land, this road was somewhat torturous.

Fortunately, Bai Shi can now save the time of running maps.

Bai Shi jumped off the edge of the cliff and landed in the pool of water below the cliff.

There were already many broken corpses of cuckoos lying in the pool.

The bodies of these cuckoos were torn into pieces, as if they were torn apart by some creature.

I don’t know what kind of violence these cuckoos suffered during their lifetime.

In addition to the fresh corpse of the cuckoo, there are also many corpses of the Knox survivors in the pool.

Countless corpses merged into one another and stretched out their hands towards the giant skeleton, as if searching for hope and salvation.

A huge skeleton sits on the chair temple, accepting worship, but even it has long since disappeared in time.

Although the giant skeleton was shocking, Bai Shi was not here for it.

After the white consciousness appeared, the beasts guarding this place also woke up.

On the cliff on the opposite bank, a huge creature appeared.

It raised its head high, crawled out of the cave where it lived, and roared towards the false night sky.

"Roar--!"

The roar seemed to announce the start of the battle, and the dragon soldiers jumped down.

With the sound of wind, the dragon soldiers smashed between Baizhi and the giant skeleton like meteorites.

The heavy body created waves in the pool.

"boom--"

The dragon soldiers got on all fours, opened their bloody mouths towards Bai Shi, and the sound waves swept in with their roars.

Violent lightning flashed from all over its body, surging around it, and energy continued to accumulate.

It was cold blue lightning, lightning unique to the dragon soldiers.

With the roar, the accumulated ice thunder exploded violently, and the cold lightning illuminated the night sky.

Behind the dragon soldier, four sharp bones pierced through his body as the ice lightning shot out, continuously extending forward, and instantly grew into complete wings.

The roaring air waves blew away the water in the pool, which was instantly frozen by the ice thunder and then shattered by it immediately.

The dense corpses on the ground were instantly destroyed by the air waves and ice thunder.

Bai Shi looked at the dragon soldier in front of him with some surprise.

The power of this dragon soldier is much stronger than those he has encountered before.

And it's not just a few individual differences, but it's clearly a level higher.

Really good, any product produced by Knox Dynasty must be a top quality product.

Originally it was just to get an achievement and replenish the number of times I could use Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow.

But I didn't expect that the dragon soldier in front of me seemed to be quite accomplished.

Even the hole in the stomach was filled up, and it became like a normal life.

It’s a pity that his legs seem to have some defects and he can’t really stand.

Perhaps this dragon soldier is close to the ultimate design goal.

Looking at the dragon soldier whose wings had been spread out and whose body was covered with ice and lightning, Bai Shi smiled slightly.

It looks like it will be interesting.

If it is still conscious, try to take it away after the fight.

Bai Shi took out a weapon called a giant sword, which was rough and heavy like a block of iron.

Sure enough, facing such a big guy, you have to use this weapon to have fun.

The dragon soldier spread the four broken wings behind him and flew into the air with his heavy body.

The four wings stretched out under the night sky of Nox Stella, blocking out the starlight and creating a very oppressive feeling.

The dragon soldier did not fly too high, but immediately dived down, with his huge claws pointing directly at Bai Shi's body.

Bai Shi held the giant sword in front of him and faced the dragon soldiers flying towards him.

The dragon soldier's claws collided with the giant sword, making a metallic sound.

The huge weight pressing down on his body and the blow carrying such terrifying force were steadily taken by Bai Shi, without even taking a step back.

The attack was completely ineffective. Faced with such a situation, any creature would feel hesitant and confused.

But there was no such emotion in the fierce eyes of the dragon soldiers.

Born as a weapon, it does not need such unnecessary emotions.

No matter what the situation is, there is only one thing to do:
It only needs to guard the throne until it can no longer move.

Bai Shi swung his arms vigorously, and the dragon soldier's body was immediately lifted up and thrown into the air.

With the help of its wings, the dragon soldier's huge body flipped nimbly in the air.

After stabilizing his body, the dragon soldier condensed two ice lightning guns in his hands and threw them towards the white consciousness below.

Bai Shi did not dodge or evade. He swung the giant sword in his hand, and a strong wind blew up, smashing the ice lightning spear into pieces in the air.

The strong wind shattered the thunder, and its remaining force blew the dragon soldiers dancing in the night sky to the ground.

The dragon soldier roared and rushed towards Bai Shi again using his hands and feet.

Facing the aggressive dragon soldiers, Bai Shi swung the giant sword in his hand and carried it on his shoulder.

Bai Shi lowered his waist to gather strength, then swung the giant sword forward, causing his body to flip in the air.

He turned over, twisted his waist and swung the giant sword in Bai Shi's hand that was embedded in the ground, then rose up from the ground and smashed heavily on the charging dragon soldiers.

The dragon soldier stretched out his hand to block the charge, but the heavy sword broke his arm in an instant.

Behind the arms was the head. The sword hit it on the head, making it dizzy and no longer able to charge.

The big sword stops the dragon chariot!
After stopping the dragon carriage, Bai Shi suddenly felt refreshed.

Carrying the giant sword on his shoulder, Bai Shi walked in front of the dragon soldier.

Seeing Bai Shi standing in front of him, the dragon soldier immediately wanted to reach out and grab him.

However, the dragon soldier had suffered a heavy blow to the head at this time, and was unable to perform such a simple action.

Bai Shi was just about to open his mouth to communicate with it, but he heard another whistling sound coming from the sky.

Something was flapping its wings at high speed and flying towards this side, and it looked to be quite large.

Bai Shi looked up and saw a huge monster slowly appearing in front of Bai Shi and the dragon soldiers under the cliff of Noxstella.

A pale skull with a huge jaw poked out from the cliff, and its slender body moved freely in the air like stars.

A complete Esti.
