Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 514 Hunting the Finger!

The Mother of Fingers looked at the two unharmed individuals and realized that the battlefield was completely out of her control.

At this moment, the cosmos held aloft by His little finger has dimmed from releasing too much power.

Just now, in order to defeat the two blasphemers in one fell swoop, He spared no effort in exerting His power, but He did not achieve any results.

Currently, due to its damage, it is unable to contact the great beings in the starry sky, cannot obtain supplies from the microcosm, and its power is depleted. It will take some time to recover.

At this point, the Mother of Fingers was in a passive defensive state, and she had to survive as long as possible before the power in her cosmos was restored.

So the Mother of Fingers ran wildly away from Bai Shi and Ashmi, constantly scattering finger worms from her body in an attempt to hinder the two.

She is the daughter of a great being, and yet she is to die in such a place...

He didn't want to die! He didn't want to die at the hands of these mortals!

Bai Shi and Ashmi naturally wouldn't give the Mother of Fingers any more chance to stall for time.

A golden light instantly traversed the vast distance and appeared before the Mother of Fingers, reforming into the form of White Consciousness.

Seeing Bai Shi blocking her way again, the Mother of Fingers did not charge recklessly like she did last time.

This time, He hugged His body tightly with both arms, and just as His charge was about to stop, He slammed His head forward heavily.

His head smashed through the thick rock, and the pale pink magic spread forward in a fan shape, its light growing ever brighter.

Finally, when the Mother of Fingers lifted her first finger, pink ripples emerged from her body and erupted violently along the previous trajectory.

Facing the surging waves rushing towards him, Bai Shi conjured a ball of sunlight with his left hand and swung it forward.

Golden rays of light emanated from the ripples, directly confronting them and dissipating in the tremors.

After a brief collision, the power of the sunlight continued to advance, suppressing the ripples in turn.

Just as they were locked in a standoff, Ashmi caught up from behind and launched an unstoppable attack straight at the Mother of Fingers.

A dark power emanated from Ashmi, propelling her as she flew along the ground, shrouding everything in her path in darkness.

The blade trailed the dark path, seemingly transforming into a sharp blade that traversed the battlefield, aiming at the body of the Mother of Fingers.

Faced with the attack from both sides, the little finger of the mother finger suddenly raised high.

A new force surged from the microcosm, lifting His massive body and dodging Ashmi's thrust, while also causing Bai Shi's sunlight to miss its mark.

Centered on the tail finger that supports the microcosm, the body of the Mother of Fingers began to rotate, and the thick and dense supporting fingers beneath her body also opened up as they rotated.

The Mother of Fingers waved her fingers, transforming into some kind of disc-shaped creature or a spaceship. Her enormous body spun around with unparalleled force, crashing down towards Bai Shi and Ashmi.

Looking at the body enveloped by the power of the starry sky, no one would want to touch it. Bai Shi and Ashmi each dodged to the side to avoid the heavy blow.

As the Mother of Fingers crashed down like a meteor, the entire space trembled from the force, shattering countless stone pillars and stone fingers scattered across the ground.

The shallow lake that had accumulated on the ground had been blown away and disappeared without a trace. The thick bedrock had been smashed into a huge crater, from which the Mother of Fingers slowly rose.

The Mother of Fingers is somewhat clumsy and rigid due to her body, which is not specifically designed for combat, but her power should not be underestimated by anyone.

In terms of power, each strike, if it hits, can cause considerable injury to Bai Shi and Ashimi.

The Mother of Fingers raised her head and pointed at the two who were charging at her again, and her inner universe suddenly released tremendous power.

In the short time that just passed, much of the previously depleted strength has been restored, allowing it to sustain normal combat.

Countless starlight arrows shot out from that illusory microcosm, pouring down like a torrential rain.

However, Ashmi waved his left hand, and the power of the King of Night filled the battlefield, instantly obliterating the two figures and causing the Mother of Fingers to lose her target.

Bai Shi relentlessly closed in, finally bursting forth from the darkness and fiercely piercing out the shadow of stars.

The blade pierced the little finger joint of the mother finger like a meteor, interrupting the relentless attack.

The Mother of Fingers spun around and swept horizontally, her head finger immediately forcing Bai Shi to retreat and avoid a counterattack.

Although it was left with a huge wound at the point where it connected to its body, it managed to save the crucial little finger.

For the Mother of Fingers, the little finger is the most important part of her body, even more important than her life.

If He can communicate with the Supreme Will again using His little finger, then everything He has lost will be returned, and the destruction He suffered will cease to exist.

However, it was ultimately just a dream that could not be answered; He had long since been destroyed and could no longer communicate with the stars.

Ashmi also seized the opportunity to rush forward, and the hunting finger knife slashed fiercely at the finger supporting Him.

"His-"

The blade tore open the skin of the scalp, revealing the writhing flesh inside.

The Mother of Fingers let out a painful scream, and the creature gestating within her finally appeared, with three incredibly thick fingers suddenly emerging from the crack in her abdominal cavity.

Those unique fingers have huge mouths filled with sharp teeth, and those who embark on the path to become fingers are imitating this form.

Those dense fangs were biting straight at Bai Shi's head, and the huge mouth seemed to want to swallow him whole.

However, Bai Shi did not defend against the attacks of those fingers. He simply bent down slightly and gripped the Star Shadow in his hand tightly.

Just as the three gigantic mouths attacked from the left and right, Ashmi's figure flashed into the battle like lightning. His hunting finger knife flashed out a black light, and the giant fingers were cut off in half.

The putrid divine blood splattered down, but she didn't even flinch; she just stared at the dagger Bai Shi had prepared to strike.

He gripped the Star Shadow Katana tightly with both hands, and the moment he swung it, the blade transformed into a black crescent moon curling in reverse.

In an instant, countless ring-shaped blade lights burst forth from Bai Shi's body, each arc of light carrying a shriek that seemed to tear through dimensions.

The power within the Star Shadow was unleashed, and the dense ring of blade light left dark blade marks in the space around Bai Shi, causing the spatial cracks to overlap like a spider web.

Dimensional slashes intertwined into a net, and countless dark blades of light rushed towards the body of the Mother of Fingers like a flock of crows returning to their nest.

The dazzling starlight collapsed within the blade marks, and the screams of the Mother of Fingers were swallowed by the dimensional rifts, submerged in the clash of swords.

The countless dark wounds left by the slashes slowly bloomed on His body, like dark thorns wrapped around His whole body, splattering blood rain all over the ground.

As the final circular slash swept past His tail finger, even spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of that dim microcosm.

The Mother of Fingers trembled violently, her movements completely frozen in mid-air due to the pain.

Suddenly, He looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar, his blood trembling into a bloody mist.

The Mother of Fingers, having been repeatedly wounded, was completely enraged. She stopped thinking about anything else and began wildly waving her fingers.

When He landed at the border thousands of years ago, His mind had already collapsed.

At this moment, the Mother of Fingers finally realized that she could never go back to the way things were.

The wart-like eye on the head of the Mother of Fingers trembled, and its body floated into the air again under the influence of the microcosm of the little finger. The power that had just been accumulated was now released completely without reservation.

The microcosm suddenly expanded into a black hole, and two beams of starlight lasers swept out of control, cutting the battlefield to pieces.

Faced with that terrifying attack, Bai Shi and Ashimi could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge, nimbly dodging around.

At the same time, the group of fingers beneath the Mother of Fingers wriggled wildly, carrying Him backward to the top of a towering stone finger.

The barrage of lasers gradually subsided, but this did not mean that Mother of the Fingers had stopped her actions.

His abdominal cavity was completely open, and countless finger worms intertwined to form a blood and flesh nest, as if it were gestating some more terrifying being.

Thick, terrifying fingers, covered in dark red shadows, wriggled and emerged from His body.

Several twisted creatures, their bodies covered in flesh and blood, and even larger than the Mother of Fingers, crawled out.

They look like two or three fingers tied in a knot, intertwined, with an incredibly bizarre shape.

Moreover, they possess absolutely no thought or anything else, only power.

Creations created solely for offensive purposes naturally do not need to develop complete sentience. Bai Shi and Ashmi stood side by side, slightly disheveled under the laser beams, their bodies bearing considerable damage.

However, as the sunlight shone through, those terrible injuries began to heal in the blink of an eye, and his breathing became steady.

Only on the blades of the two hunting finger knives, the dark night light surged even more fiercely.

Bai Shi gazed intently into the distance, looking past the twisted, finger-like creatures, watching the movements of the Mother of Fingers.

Because right after giving birth to those creatures, the mother of fingers suddenly exerted force in her little finger, preparing to crush the illusory microcosm that she valued most.

His head slowly rose, and his wart-like single eye was completely filled with chaos and utter madness.

Realizing that death was imminent, He would release all His power through self-destruction, solely to wipe out those blasphemous scoundrels!

The Mother of Fingers' hiss reverberated through the starry sky. Her tail finger suddenly lashed out, shattering the illusory microcosm and scattering stardust.

However, beneath the surface of that shattered, beautiful scene, the ripples of starlight are violently distorted, and some force beyond the laws of physics is gathering—

If He were allowed to fully unleash the power within His microcosm, the resulting collapse and explosion would likely be enough to completely obliterate a region on the boundary.

With the explosion imminent, Bai Shi and Ashmi exchanged a glance. Without a word, they rushed toward the Mother of Fingers one after the other, their blades aimed directly at her core.

The twisted fingers waved their fingers, power gathering at their tips, trying to block the two's path.

Bai Shi gripped the sword with both hands, and the Star Shadow Katana suddenly emitted a dazzling dark purple light.

Wherever the blade passed, the twisted fingers that resembled two fingers disintegrated, without even being able to unleash a single attack.

Unwilling to let the two interfere with the gathering of her power any longer, the Mother of Fingers suddenly unleashed a beam of blazing white starlight from the fissure in her abdomen, shooting straight into the sky.

Bai Shi and Ashimi leaped up simultaneously, their blades clashing, forcefully cleaving the pillar of light in two.

The aftershocks of the meteor exploded behind the two, leveling the entire Stone Finger Forest to the ground.

The two figures, walking side by side, suddenly separated and each ran towards the Mother of Fingers.

Bai Shi charged forward relentlessly, while Ashmi flashed past the flank of the Mother of Fingers.

Seeing that the power gathered in that microcosm had reached its limit, Bai Shi leaped into the sky, and the Star Shadow Katana burst forth with an abyss-like black light.

The trajectory of the blade tore through space, forming a dark crescent moon arc from top to bottom.

His figure merged with the blade's light, falling vertically like a meteor towards the head of the Mother of Fingers, the blade slashing directly at that wart-shaped eye.

Ashmi sped along the ground, his hunting finger blade leaving a deep afterimage in the air, and instantly appeared behind the Mother of Fingers.

The incredibly sharp blade, born specifically to hunt fingers, roared with the will of vengeance. As Ashmi suddenly slashed horizontally, the blade cut into the joint gap of the little finger, the mother finger.

Bai Shi's slash pierced through the eye of the Mother of Fingers from top to bottom, and with undiminished force, it split the head of the finger vertically, also dividing the life-giving crack in two.

Ashmi's slash severed the massive tail finger horizontally, and the tail finger, which was covered in divine blood and carried the remaining power of the cosmos, collapsed instantly.

The pincer attack from both sides tore apart the Mother of Fingers' body, and two forces of darkness from the same source poured out from the blade, completely enveloping her.

The god's flesh was easily torn apart, and the two swords clashed in the center of the Mother of Fingers' torso.

The moment the two blades clashed, the Hunter's Finger Blade and the power of night from the Shadow of Stars merged completely, detonating within the Mother of Finger.

Within the remains of the god, a cross of power erupted, resembling an engraving of the end.

The Mother of Fingers' body stiffened for a moment, then countless cracks burst forth from within.

His head and tail fingers broke off simultaneously, and his torso was swallowed by a cross-shaped void rift.

But His split eye still trembled, staring at the two despicable humans, with a hint of pleasure even in his madness.

The microcosm has been crushed, losing its control and cohesion. Even if its explosive power is much weaker, it is still enough to cause someone to perish with it.

However, in His trembling gaze, Bai Shi reached out and clenched his fist, tearing open a rift in the void that led to the radiant core of the sun behind him.

The destructive power condensed in that small universe was swallowed up by the sun's flames before it could even erupt, causing only a slight sway of the corona.

The Mother of Fingers stared at the two with resentful eyes, her remaining body seemingly still nurturing something with its last bit of strength.

Bai Shi tossed the Star Shadow in his hand to Ashimi and said softly:

"You will be the one to deliver the final blow."

"Let this bring an end to the long and arduous quest for revenge in the Eternal City."

Ashmi nodded, took the Star Shadow Katana with his left hand, and slowly walked towards the remains of the Mother of Fingers.

Ashmi raised the Star Shadow on his left hand, while his right hand, gripping the Hunter's Finger Knife, rested horizontally on his left arm, the tips of both knives pointing straight at the Mother of Fingers.

The next moment, the Hunter's Finger Blade was covered in the golden light of the sun, while the Star Shadow was completely shrouded in the deep night.

Within Ashmi, light and darkness coexist, and the two weapons are imbued with new power by her.

Ashmi let out a low growl, venting the emotions she had just come to understand, and something in her heart seemed to become clearer.

She swiftly swung the twin blades in her hands, the two forces intertwining and surging towards the remains of the Mother of Fingers.

When the forces of sun and night intersect, even the eternal gods will be condemned to their doom.

Whether it was the intolerable divine authority in the new solar age or the agonizing cries of revenge in the darkness, the Mother of the Fingers was destined to be hunted down.

In the gap between light and darkness, those fingers that once pointed to the stars shattered and vanished into ashes.

Before the final screech could be uttered, the deity's remains were shredded into fragments by the roar of light and darkness.

The great feat of hunting down the fingers has been accomplished today.
-

Bai Shi walked to the severed fingertip. Although it no longer possessed its cosmos, it still radiated a unique power.

Picking up the finger, he also discovered its ability to serve as a medium for both magic and prayer.

Perhaps it is within this power that the ability to communicate with the stars is contained.

Bai Shi put away the alien limb, thinking it might be useful as a magic staff in the future.

Ashmi was still watching the place where the Mother of Fingers had vanished, lost in thought.

Bai Shi stood silently beside her, then raised his hand with a joyful expression, using his finger as a pen. Golden sunlight etched words onto the blade of the Hunting Finger Knife:

Easy revenge!

Ashmi finally came to his senses and, as usual, leaned closer, looking at the script that resembled but was not quite the same as the writing on the border, and asked:
"Host, what does this mean?"

Bai Shi thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Ashimi:

"If I had to put it in a way, I'd say it means 'the pleasure of revenge'."

"Congratulations, Ashmi, that long-standing hatred has come to an end today, in your hands."

Turning to look at Ashmi, Bai Shi smiled and said:

"Let's go. The revenge is over, and all the remnants of the border region have been resolved."

"Everyone is waiting for us."

Bai Shi patted Ashmi's head, coughed lightly, and said:
"Also... you don't need to call me host anymore."

"Calling me elder brother is the same."

Ashmi tilted his head, paused for a moment, and then a smile spread across his face.

"Yes, let's go, my trustworthy brother."
