Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 418 Blood Purification
Millicent staggered and fell.

Bai Shi immediately stepped forward, supported Millicent's back, and gently placed her on the grass.

Looking at Millicent, Bai Shi nodded with satisfaction.

Well done, Millicent has completed the novice tutorial, so now it’s time to solo with Marenia…

Ahem... Well, I guess she's still a little far from perfect now, so let her practice a little longer.

Sunlight sprinkled from Bai Shi's palms, quickly replenishing her injuries and energy loss.

Millicent, who was in a coma, unconsciously revealed a relieved expression, and her physical condition improved rapidly.

Turning his head to look at Eleonora who was standing there in a daze, Bai Shi warned:

"Don't run away, or you won't end up well."

"Your fate will be determined when Millicent wakes up."

Bai Shi didn't have much emotion towards Eleonora.

As a character introduced by a side quest in the game, Eleonora herself does not have much interaction with the players.

He is quite powerful and will invade the Second Church once, leaving behind that handsome and useful double-edged sword.

But that's all. Apart from that, there is almost no shaping, and it can only exist in various electronic cricket fighting scenes.

Therefore, even if she has some relationship with Yura, Bai Shi will only treat Eleonora as the Bloody Finger of the Blood Dynasty and will not show mercy.

The Bloodfingers went crazy for power and chose to turn their knives against their fellow Faded Ones.

Bloodfingers are similar to the Betrayeres, but are more numerous and more dangerous.

After all, Lakkad was already paralyzed and lying in the lava, so it was as if this backer didn't exist at all. He had to grab some snacks from the rebels when he had nothing to do.

Not to mention that the large army of the Faded Ones didn't run towards the volcano at all, so the Blasphemers and Betrayeres near the volcano mainly focused on involution.

But it was different for the Blood Fingers. When Mung was still alive, the Blood Fingers, with their backers, could almost be said to be unscrupulous.

In places like Nimgefu where there are large numbers of Faded Ones, the Blood Fingers constantly attack and kill their compatriots.

There are a large number of Faded Ones in these places, including many novice Faded Ones. Most of them have no ability to protect themselves when facing the Blood Fingers, resulting in heavy casualties.

Baishi wants to save the characters in the game because he likes their stories, and some of them are not on that list.

However, this time, Eleonora was defeated by Millicent, and Bai Shi had no plans to deal with her now.

As a prisoner of war, her fate should be decided by Millicent. This is the rule on the border.

Eleonora did not react to Bai Shi's warning.

She had no intention of running away at this moment. She just held the broken double-headed knife in her hand in a daze.

This double-edged sword had accompanied her for who knows how many years in the past, but now it was completely cut off.

The front half was almost completely shattered, and now only half is left, like a katana.

After all, it was just two previously used swords connected together and recast together.

Gripping the hilt of the sword as she had done in the past, Eleonora recalled Millicent's actions just now.

Why can a human body dance so gracefully?
Eleonora looked up at the sky, unable to understand.

“I lost…”

She has been winning since she came to the Blood Dynasty.

Sometimes it is for the Blood King's purposes, and sometimes it is to gain power from killing.

"I haven't felt the feeling of losing in a long time."

"It's like returning to the Land of Reeds, that hellish world..."

Yura stood a few steps beside Eleonora, quietly looking at her trance-like face.

Pulling the iron hat down silently, Yura didn't know what expression he had at the moment.

It was difficult for him to explain exactly what his feelings were for Eleonora.

They were comrades who had known each other since the Reed Land, but everything changed after they arrived at the border.

The pure Eleonora of the past was completely tainted by the cursed blood and turned into another person, bloodthirsty and cruel.

The idiot who used to hunt dragons with him was completely gone.

The only thing that remains the same as before is that even though Eleonora is obsessed with Cursed Blood, she still has a sense of honor and will fight with all her might.

Unfortunately, this is not good news for the faders.

Yura didn't know how to deal with the past feelings and the completely unfamiliar Eleonora.

Just then, Millicent on the ground finally responded.

After a brief coma of more than ten seconds, Millicent opened her eyes again and jumped up from the ground.

Her memory was still stuck at the end of the battle.

Facing the gazes of the three people, Millicent touched her head and came to her senses and realized that the battle was over.

Millicent looked at Eleonora who was kneeling there, then turned to look at Bai Shi and Yura and asked:
"Well... the battle is over."

"What do you think I should do with her?"

Bai Shi waved his hand and didn't care about the treatment of Eleonora.

If it is someone I must kill, I will not let him go no matter what, and I will not change my decision because of others.

But Eleonora herself wasn't an important character, so Bai Shi didn't care what she thought of him.

"That's your opponent, so of course you should deal with him."

Millicent then turned to look at Yura, silently questioning with her eyes.

As the purpose of Yura's trip, Millicent also wanted to know Yura's opinion.

During their brief journey together, Millicent learned about their past and the position of Eleonora in Yura's heart.

Yura held his hat in his hand and remained silent.

After a while, a hoarse voice came from under the bamboo hat:
"Please...give her a quick death."

"I am an old friend of Eleonora, and I cannot bear to see her fall into the cursed blood."

"After falling into the cursed blood, Eleonora is no longer herself."

"Swinging a blade at an innocent person for the sake of power is unacceptable under any circumstances."

Among the three of them, Yura, the Blood Finger Hunter, is the one who hates Blood Finger the most.

I hate the Blood Fingers who committed the crime of killing, and I also hate the Cursed Blood that drove Eleonora into madness.

Millicent looked at Eleonora, a look of hesitation in her eyes.

In the story described by Yura, Eleonora is a powerful dragon-feast warrior, pure in heart, even quite chivalrous, who is called a "fool" by him.

If the blood curse could be lifted, could things return to how they were before, allowing Yura and her to get back to peace?
As the center of the topic, Eleonora did not beg for mercy, but just silently waited for the final judgment.

Looking at Eleonora kneeling on the ground, Millicent blinked and said:
"I...decided to keep her alive."

Yura was suddenly startled, and two completely different and contradictory thoughts collided in his heart.

It was a while before Eula opened her mouth to warn Millicent of the danger.

However, before he could open his mouth to dissuade her, Millicent shook her head and explained in another way:

"Eleonora is very strong, and she still has a place where she can really use this power."

"So I want her to live, to atone for the bloody sins committed in the past, and to use her strength in the right place."

Bai Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't worry too much.

Then, as long as the power of restraint is added, it is not impossible to use it as Millicent said.

Yura's throat rolled, and he barely squeezed out the last struggle in his heart:

"...No, that's impossible."

"Being tainted by cursed blood will make her uncontrollable. This is not even something she can control."

"Even though I'm reluctant to let her go, there's nothing I can do about it. Letting her go would only lead to trouble."

"Light words have no binding power at all, and it's not that easy to make things come to a successful conclusion."

"Millicent, don't worry about me. Please make a decision based on your own thoughts."

Millicent looked at Eleonora and began to wonder whether to stick with the decision.

At this moment, Eleonor spoke for the first time.

Eleonora just spoke calmly, as if she wasn't talking about anything related to herself.

"The blood curse can be lifted."

"I have within me the material to do that, but I can't use it now."

When these words came out, both Eula and Millicent were shocked.

Bai Shi looked at Eleonora, thoughtfully.

Is it the crystal dew drop of pure blood?
In the game, it's weird that she's carrying this item, because it's clearly not an item that should be on Bloodfinger.

There have always been some speculations and different opinions about this matter.

After all, there was no text, so even if she said she was going to challenge Monger, she couldn't refute it. If it was used to remove the cursed blood, it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

Eleonora looked up at Millicent and continued:

"Monger was interested in collecting powerful warriors, and that's why I was chosen. I gradually became addicted to killing and strength."

"It was not until Monger died a few days ago that I finally had some moments of clarity, but my desire to kill is still unstoppable."

"No matter the reason, the sin of killing is stained on these hands."

"I don't use this as an excuse, and I admit this sin."

"So no matter how you plan to deal with me, I have no objection."

After saying this, Eleonora held out the drops of pure blood crystal dew and at the same time assumed a posture ready to be killed.

Bai Shi walked past the two of them, took the crystal dew drop, and looked at it in his hand.

Because of the existence of the Invisible Mother, the previous cursed blood power will not disappear.

But these powers bestowed with cursed blood had already been affected when Monger died, and could no longer be exerted freely as before.

After all, those were cursed blood bestowed by Mung, which were weakened with his death, and thus brought some opportunities.

With the death of the master of the cursed blood, the cursed blood that dominated the fate of the Blood Fingers also lost its binding force.

The Invisible Mother herself has no constraints on her believers and blesses them equally, so they are not taken over and become ownerless.

It is now possible to remove the cursed blood. All you need to do is use the blood-purifying crystal dew drops that contain special powers.

The formation of the crystalline dew droplets takes a long time, and the power contained in them can be drawn out through the elixir holy grail bottle.

The elixir bottle was used by priests before the Golden Tree, and is sometimes preserved in churches, but its number is rare.

It can be said that there are only a few intact elixir bottles to be found in the entire border area.

However, Bai Shi actually had an extra bottle of elixir holy grail in his hand.

When he was in the Shadow Land before, Bai Shi brought some back with him.

After all, there are devout priests of the Golden Tree everywhere in that place, and there are some extra ones in the warehouse. I didn’t expect that they would be used now.

Bai Shi nodded to Millicent, indicating that this was indeed feasible.

A smile finally broke out on Millicent's face.

She didn't have as complicated feelings as Yura. After all, she had just become involved in this matter.

Yura was so twisted and had many concerns about Eleonora's identity.

In the end, the best thing he could think of was to try to stop her and then die by the knife.

Millicent simply felt that there was a chance that things could turn out well, so why not give it a try.

Millicent faced Bai Shi, bowed her head, clasped her hands together, and begged sincerely:

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Bai Shi."

"Please draw out the power from this crystal dew drop."

She really wanted to see the two of them reconcile and finally get back together without having to turn swords against each other.

Because she feels happy when she sees happy things, it's such a simple reason that she is willing to fight for it.

Bai Shi took the drop of blood-purifying crystal dew, nodded, and began simple processing.

Without adding any additional crystal dew drops, simply add the hardened pure blood crystal dew drops into the elixir holy grail bottle and mix them, and a secret medicine for removing the cursed blood will appear.

It’s also thanks to the fact that only one type of dew drop is needed, otherwise Bai Shi really wouldn’t know how to mix it, and Melina would have to come up with the perfect effect of the two types of dew drops.

Taking the elixir bottle, Eleonora couldn't wait to drink it all.

Cursed blood immediately flowed out from Eleonora's seven orifices, and the blood soaked the land like a spring.

Yura clenched his fists, his heart instantly rising.

The cursed blood almost replaced all of Eleonora's blood, which was an inevitable thing in the process of expelling it.

Theoretically, the best situation is to pair it with something like Red Dew Drops, but due to limited conditions, there is nothing we can do about it.

Bai Shi used the power of sunlight to heal her, which prevented Eleonora from dying on the spot.

As the power of the cursed blood gradually disappeared, Eleonora's breath instantly weakened.

The cursed blood power that was closely connected to her flesh and blood was stripped away, and her strength suddenly dropped by at least 30%.

However, Eleonora's eyes gradually regained clarity.

Eleonora, who was extremely weak, supported herself on her knees and smiled at Yura.

Looking at that familiar smile, Yura's eyes suddenly became blurred.

He raised his head and looked upwards, thus preventing the tears from flowing down his eyes.

Eleonora stood up straight, walked to Millicent, and knelt respectfully in a very standard posture of a gentleman getting off his seat.

With her head on the ground, Eleonora spoke to Millicent with mixed feelings:

"From now on I will regard you as my master and serve you."

"In the future, I will use my sword and dragon flame to atone for my sins in the way you expect."

"Please use me as you like. Please don't refuse."

Millicent's smile faltered and she waved her hands in panic.

That wasn't what she meant, and she had never thought of making anyone a slave.

Just as Millicent was about to refuse, Yura stood up and said:
"You gave her a chance to live, that's enough."

"Please accept it, otherwise she won't be able to survive."

Millicent was still unsure and looked towards Bai Shi, waiting for his opinion.

Bai Shi nodded and said to Millicent:
"This is a necessary move and a finishing touch that should have been considered."

"If you want Eleonora to return to her normal warrior status and atone for her sins, then it can't be as simple as just removing the cursed blood."

"If I was Blood Finger in the past, I would have only scared people if I moved around as a free man."

Millicent sighed and finally accepted the pledge.

There was an extra slave for some unknown reason, but at least the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Bai Shi looked at Millicent and asked:

"Now that the matter has been resolved, isn't it time to tell me how you met?"

Bai Shi had wondered if anything would happen to Millicent during the days he was in the spirit world.

But Bai Shi never expected that Millicent would meet these two.

Millicent touched the pattern on the prosthetic hand with her fingertips and said:

"Well, this is a strange thing..."

"It's fate, I guess."
-

Listening to Millicent's story about meeting Yura, Bai Shi also understood what happened in this world.

Two days have passed since he entered the spiritual world, and it is now the third day.

Shortly after their first day apart, Millicent met Eula on the roadside.

At that time, Yura fell down due to pain and fainted, and was picked up by Millicent.

Because there were no external injuries on Yura's body and the cause was unknown, Millicent did not dare to try to use the power of abundance to heal him.

Fortunately, Yura woke up on his own not long after.

He said it was caused by parasites, but there was no way to deal with it.

Even if you have pills ready, they are just medicine to suppress pain and have no effect on treatment.

After a brief chat, Yura explained the reason he was here, which was to look for a close friend from the past.

In order to make her return to the right path, Eula paid any price, and Millicent was deeply moved.

With a desire to fight against a strong man, Millicent decided to go along temporarily to pass the time while waiting for Bai Shi.

During these few days of exploration, Millicent also exchanged swordsmanship with Yura.

The swordsmanship that originated from the Land of Reeds, the killing technique that was created purely for fighting, was very useful to her.

Later, in this church, Yura really met Eleonora who was looking for the elixir bottle.

Eleonora and Yura, still distorted by the cursed blood, immediately engaged in battle.

But after a brief fight of more than ten rounds, Yura was cut down by the bloody blade and was seriously injured.

Bai Shi saw what happened next with his own eyes. Millicent went forward to fight and eventually won.

After listening to the whole story, Bai Shi looked at Yura again.

Parasites? He thought that was the cause of the epilepsy.

Now that Eleonora's problem has been resolved, it's time to give him a physical check-up.
