Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 483 Completion Plan
After returning from the Eternal City with Shiv, Ashmi sighed, making no attempt to hide his regret.

Bai Shi knew from Ashimi's appearance that this trip was likely to be fruitless.

"Has the last teardrop of the Holy Grail not been found?"

Ashmi nodded silently, then immediately said to Bai Shi in a very relaxed manner:
"Hmm, it seems like another teardrop got there first."

"Because in that building that exudes the aura of the Holy Grail, I sensed traces left by my kind."

Ashmi scratched his head and gave a helpless pursed-lip gesture.

This trip can only be described as a regretful return, as the Greater Grail, which resembles a teardrop, was not found.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, after all, there are quite a few teardrops wandering around the border."

“All tears, including mine, will be guided by longing to seek the Holy Grail of Tears.”

"Anyway, I've already obtained two Holy Grails, which is quite lucky compared to others, so it's okay if I didn't find this one."

After saying that, Ashmi's expression returned to its previous carefree state, and he no longer took the matter to heart.

She was already very lucky to have met a host.

There are still three Tearful Grails at every intersection, but she can only have one host.

The mere disappointment of not finding a Holy Grail could no longer affect her mood.

Although it was a wasted trip, fortunately, the process of running around exhausted Schiff, so he managed to complete the task of walking the dog admirably.

Although it was called walking the dog, Ashmi was actually searching for the Holy Grail in front, while Schiff followed behind.

It can only be said that Ashmi's physical strength was far superior to Shif's, as he copied Bai Shi's power, and directly exhausted it.

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing Ashmi's words.

It seems that the Holy Grail of the Eternal City was taken by the mysterious avatar teardrop from the Cuckoo Legion.

Bai Shi was not surprised by this result.

Montgomery took in the Cuckoo Knights he had driven out, and naturally he would also take in the commander's avatar teardrop.

The nameless, eternal city beneath the deep roots can be reached directly through the royal city of Rodel.

Similarly, they could also secretly infiltrate the royal city from the deep roots.

In the past, during the War of Shattered Times, in order to prevent the use of these hidden passages, Montgomery set up his own seals in various places.

As for unlocking the seal on that replica teardrop and opening the Eternal City, it was merely a matter of a single thought for him.

Whether it's the deal proposed by Teardrop or Montgomery's initiative to enhance Teardrop's strength after acquiring her, it's a win-win situation.

As long as the strength of the teardrop clones increases, the power in their hands will also become stronger.

Even if they still can't fight back, at the very least they can prevent Bai Shi's Ashmi from being completely replenished.

Making the enemy lose is the same as making yourself gain; this is the 'relativity of the boundary'...

Their plan was indeed very clever, but it was meaningless in the face of absolute power.
-
Bai Shi reached out his hand to Ashimi and began preparing for Ashimi's completion.

The power of the main body, following his will, was transmitted once again to the border area through his body.

While the main body was still growing infinitely under the influence of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, Bai Shi was able to spare some power to replenish Ashimi.

If the previous attempt to help Koyater failed due to a special 'mechanism,' now the completion of Ashmi's mission relies purely on 'numerical values.'

What Bai Shi has in abundance is 'numerical value'.

Bai Shi's solar body is currently constantly stepping on his right foot with his left, continuously increasing his strength.

Even he himself couldn't explain just how exaggerated his current power was.

With this method of increasing power, Bai Shi's stats increased exponentially.

The creation of infinite energy out of thin air, completely defying the laws of the universe, and its extremely efficient use, is a level of terror that defies description.

Not to mention the people on the borderlands, even the outer gods in the starry sky had never seen such a sight.

If this happens a few more times, even the supreme will will be nothing but dust before Bai Shi.

Unfortunately, the border's rejection of the Starry Sky Gods has always limited Bai Shi's abilities, and there is still a delay of a few moments when transmitting power.

It's not that the rules of the border area are so strong that they can restrict Bai Shi's power.

Rather, it's because if things go too far, the rules and boundaries of this barrier could be accidentally burned to ashes.

After all, although the power of the main body is strong, it cannot easily make a direct move.

However, this doesn't change the fact that Bai Shi is already invincible, so he doesn't care.

With the original body as a safety net, even if the avatar on the border doesn't have any stat increases, it will definitely be able to handle all the enemies that come next.

Once the power of the main body was successfully transferred into the body, Bai Shi gently tapped Ashimi with his fingertip.

As the power of the sun surged from Bai Shi's hands, Ashmi could no longer maintain his imitative body.

Ashmi transformed back into a light, pale silver mist, eventually reverting to its original smooth, rounded teardrop shape.

Feeling his core being filled and perfected little by little, Ashmi curiously and carefully experienced this unique sensation.

The warm sunlight slowly seeped into her body, gradually filling her core and bringing her complete fulfillment.

The power of the 'sun,' which she had never been able to use before, has now become her own power, and she can use it without imitation.

As the golden light completely restored Ashmi, she was now able to perfectly replicate Bai Shi's physical body.

It is without any flaws and can unleash the full power of this body.

Ashmi couldn't help but jump for joy, her tear-stained body rippling like water, showing her happiness.

Bai Shi looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.

Ashmi is now no different from a human being; she has truly grown up like a child.

Unfortunately, even if it could be perfectly replicated, it could only replicate the power of this body. If only it could also replicate the sun...

However, Bai Shi only thought about it, knowing that it was impossible to achieve.

While games can perfectly replicate any situation, reality certainly won't work that way.

The teardrops are indeed highly prolific at replicating, making them extremely troublesome creatures.

If the relationship is right, they can be the most powerful helpers.

But all of this replication ability is based on the power possessed by the teardrops.

For example, if a teardrop itself has a value of one hundred points, it can perfectly replicate objects with power ranging from one to one hundred.

If the power of the object of imitation exceeds the capacity of the teardrops, then it is naturally impossible to replicate it.

If it could replicate unconditionally, even if it was just a small replica proportionally, it would be incredibly powerful.

If it could be perfectly replicated, it could even sit at the same table as all sorts of 'concept gods'.

Supreme Will, Tears, Witness.

However, after stroking his chin, Bai Shi suddenly felt that it might not be entirely impossible. The teardrop was also similar to an energy body; if the core were modified and more power were added...

Bai Shi quickly shook his head, discarding this overly audacious idea.

Just then, the completion of Ashmi's work was also finished.

Her silver teardrop-shaped body was completely bathed in golden light, as if she had entered some kind of dazzling form, transforming into a golden slime.

Ashmi slowly reformed his form, raised his hands, and carefully examined them in front of him, feeling the tremendous changes that had occurred in his body.

"Host……"

"I am feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration."

“It’s not just that the lack of strength that has been filled; my heart also seems more whole.”

Bai Shi clapped his hands to celebrate Ashmi's rebirth:
"Congratulations, you're now truly capable of handling things on your own."

"The day I become human is probably not far off."

This time, Bai Shi did not allow Ashmi to return to his body.

Ashmi has grown up a lot now, and Bai Shi suddenly has a strange feeling that his daughter has grown up.

He had just removed the restrictions on Ashmi, so there was no need to leave the core inside him anymore.

Ashmi should now live as a true individual, not as a copy of Ashmi or a tool in battle.
-
Before leaving the deep roots, Bai Shi suddenly raised his head and looked up at the roots of the golden tree.

Directly above them lies the royal city of Rodel, nestled at the foot of the Golden Tree.

Melina followed Bai Shi's gaze upwards, as if looking through the rock strata at Rodel above.

Turning her gaze back to Bai Shi's profile, Melina softly asked:
"Would you like to take a stroll around Rodel?"

"I can take you in."

She could guess some of Bai Shi's thoughts; he was definitely thinking about Rodel.

However, Bai Shi shook his head, not in such a hurry.

"Although I am indeed very curious about what the situation is like in Rodel's camp..."

"But there's no need for that."

"I still prefer to walk through the main entrance openly and honestly."

"After that, I will walk in through that tightly closed door with dignity."

"Not as a conqueror, but as a king revered and welcomed by all."

Bai Shi was just feeling a bit sentimental. In the past, he would even worry about how to fight against Mengget, who was guarding the royal city.

Even the Night Cavalry under Montgomery's command were once a formidable enemy for the White Knowledge forces.

But now, the enemies of the past have become insignificant beings that can be destroyed with a flick of the finger.

Those formidable opponents who used to be a force to be reckoned with can no longer even look up at him.

Looking back on everything he had experienced since arriving at the border, the contrast now left Bai Shi feeling somewhat dazed.

After a long while, Bai Shi stopped looking at the golden tree and led everyone away from the deep root base.

Since we are going to retrieve 'Destined Death', we have no choice but to go to Fam Azra.

Bai Shi called out to Celine Sangs in his heart, and connected directly with her by following the marks on her body.

'Selene Sands, have you and Furious Sands returned to Fam Azra?'
-
In the ruined Fam Azra, Celine and Fryeshanks walk side by side on the broken road.

The crumbling columns and dilapidated palaces were bathed in the dim light of the day, while the storm howled incessantly.

It was as if time had stood still, freezing everything at the moment of destruction, awaiting the inevitable collapse.

Looking around, the former glory has long since vanished.

Even 'death' has spread here, and the dead have appeared here.

The orcs who once served the ancient dragons have now risen again under the influence of that death, wielding their weapons once more as they did in life.

But I wonder if it's the loyalty ingrained in their bones that influences them.

These orcish unborn remained Fam Azra's loyal guards and harbored no hostility towards the ancient dragons.

They had only recently returned to Sky City and were preparing to pay homage to the Dragon King in the center of the storm.

Sensing Bai Shi's call in her heart, Celine Sanks immediately reached out her hand to Furou Sanks, then stood quietly in place and closed her eyes in response.

'Ah, Master!'

Yes, we have indeed arrived safely, but…

Celine Sanders was speechless as she recalled Fam Yazra, now ravaged and almost unrecognizable from her past self.

After thinking for a moment, Celine Sangle replied to Bai Shi in her mind:
'Fam Azra's current condition is something even I, as an ancient dragon, can't compliment.'

This place is gradually crumbling; only destruction awaits it.

Bai Shi was well aware of the situation here, nodded, and his voice came again:

'Yes, it's okay.'

'As long as you get back to Fam Yazra safely, that's all that matters.'

'I plan to go there later, and I'll need you to show me the way.'

Celine Sanxton was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide.

Is Master coming, Fam Azra?
She was too ashamed to speak about the state of her hometown.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and replied somewhat hesitantly:

'Are you coming in person?'

'Given Fam Azra's current condition, I'm afraid you would only be disappointed if you condescended to come...'

'Even a decent welcome and hospitality would be impossible here.'

Bai Shi chuckled lightly, not caring about such trivial matters.

He was there to fight Maricus and reclaim 'Destined Death,' not to be a guest.

However, if the other party knew his plans beforehand, they would probably come out and give him a warm 'welcome,' perhaps with a sword.

"It's alright, hospitality and such are completely irrelevant; I don't care about these formalities."

'This trip to Fam Yazra isn't just a casual visit; I have business to attend to.'

'Contact me after you and Frysanthemus have finished what you needed to do, and I'll come find you.'

Celine Sands didn't know what Bai Shi wanted to do that required her to come to the empty Fam Azra, but since her master had given the order, she naturally obeyed.

"Yes, Master, I understand."
