Elden Ring, my witch is a talkative beautiful girl

A meteor of destruction erupted from the end of the pyroxene staff held in A'tai's hand. The pyroxene mages' astonished eyes were attracted by the shining light in front of them and could not move away at all.

The shining sword circle, the pyroxene magic gravel, the crystal bomb... all the low- and medium-level pyroxene magic they cast were so insignificant in front of the dazzling comet light, and the brilliance of the stardust was swallowed up in an instant.

That was the top magic that they had heard of but never learned, which could only be mastered by high-level wizards. It was also a legendary spell that had long been lost in the academy - Comet Azrael.

"Comet... Comet... Azler! How could this lowly warrior possibly master such a powerful magic?!"

"Master Azler passed away long ago. The only one who holds his legacy is the witch who was expelled from the academy!"

"This rude fellow dressed in crude clothes is actually the apprentice of the witch Se Lian?! I don't believe it!"

Whether the wizards believed it or not, the facts were before them. Comet Azler had absolutely crushed their spells, and one person was swallowed up by the torrent of spells every second.

"Hahaha, you foolish low-level wizard, have you seen what real magic is?" Melina laughed like a female gangster, as arrogant as she could be. "Your magic is like a street performer's tricks in front of my partner, totally not worth mentioning."

Anyone who dares to mock the chatterbox witch will be physically assaulted by the Faded One, and then mentally assaulted by her. This ace duo has literally tormented them physically and mentally.

While maintaining the spell, Ah Tui drank the last sip of the blue dew bottle: "Excuse me, Ah Mei, I have some bad news to tell you."

"What bad news?" Melina asked in surprise, her sarcasm on full blast.

3, 2, 1, misfire. The comet comes quickly and goes quickly.

"I can't concentrate..."

Comet Azle is a top-tier pyroxene spell. As long as the user's concentration remains high, it can fire endlessly like a laser turret, melting everything in its path. However, this highest-tier spell naturally consumes a significant amount of mana. Even with Melina's specially prepared concentration-boosting elixir, Azle still ran out of ammunition and mana after just over ten seconds.

The runes they have accumulated are not enough to achieve a point-to-point focus and intelligence while maintaining an average increase in basic abilities. That kind of enhancement will make the battle precarious and the mid-lane will easily collapse.

"Stop, stop? Are we still alive?"

"Ha, ha ha ha, that barbarian lost his concentration!"

"Now is the time to restore our lost reputation!"

Above the steps, dozens of magicians were killed by the attack of Comet Azler, and only three people remained. They still had the advantage in numbers and high ground.

At least they thought that the mage was in the face, and this wave had a huge advantage, and they could make a beautiful comeback. However, the reality was cruel, because their attention was focused on the empty mana bar of A-Tu, and they ignored a very important fact: he was still a warrior at heart.

Ah Tui rushed up the stairs at a sprint, then jumped up and landed on the faces of the three survivors, launching two shield bashes at them. "In battle, talk less and do more."

"Duang-Duang--" Two hard objects hit the head, and two more pyroxene mages fell to the ground. Looking at the mid-term injuries on their heads, they will not be able to take care of themselves for ten days or half a month, and they may even suffer from sequelae such as concussion.

"You, you..." The last remaining mage trembled.

"What are you talking about? What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a warrior smash someone with a shield?" Melina kicked him to the ground and then kicked his staff away, ensuring that the prisoner completely lost the ability to resist. "I'm telling you, physical magic is still magic!"

Ah Tui coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Ah Mei, please be careful when you speak, don't scare our 'partners'."

He certainly didn't keep a prisoner of war just to intimidate him for fun. Wouldn't it be a huge waste if he didn't treat the intelligence source that was already there properly (by torturing him and forcing a confession)?

"Partners? I...you..." Master Pyroxene hadn't reacted yet and was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Noble Mage," Melina threatened with the same mocking tone as her opponent. "We primitive people are giving you two choices. First, confess and cooperate, and tell us the location of the principal's office. Second, my partner will beat you until you cooperate and disclose the information."

In the eyes of the wizard, the witch's appearance is basically equivalent to a smiling devil.

"Choose one of two. If you don't speak within three seconds, I will assume that you chose two. Three..." A'tai cooperated with Melina's threat, and his acting skills of pretending to be a villain were perfect.

"I'll tell you everything, please spare my life..."

After hearing the two options, the Pyroxene Mage was almost terrified. How could the freshman, trapped in the ivory tower of the academy, have ever seen such a scene? To quote the witch Seren, "He is the worst of the worst."

Under the combined use of soft and hard tactics, his fragile psychological defenses completely collapsed after a few seconds, and he honestly confessed everything he knew.

After confirming that the prisoner's value had been completely squeezed out, Ah Tui used 50% of his strength and punched him out of the nightmare: "Let's go, let's get on the elevator and go into the Azalea Church."

"If this guy isn't lying, we can walk down the corridor behind the church and take the waterwheel elevator up to the classrooms where students have their daily classes. Further back is the principal's office and the large library," Melina continued. "Because the academy has been closed for a long time, most students and teachers are staying in another dormitory building. We shouldn't encounter many enemies along the way."

"I hope so. The mages' endless stream of long-range tactics, combined with the right terrain, will still be quite a hassle to deal with." Ah Dai paused for a second and continued, "The machine with the 'teleportation device' that Patch mentioned is probably at the bottom of the waterwheel elevator. Should we take a detour to check it out?"

Patch's reputation for solidity and reliability ensured that things weren't as simple as he'd claimed, but he wouldn't say anything without basis, so the truth was probably 70:30. If there truly was a teleporter under the waterwheel that could reach the Yatan Plateau, it wouldn't hurt to check it out, but one had to be extremely cautious to avoid falling into any strange traps.

Melina was about to refuse outright, but swallowed the words back. "...I know a way to get to the Yatan Plateau safely, but it's a little tricky. Just think of that teleporter as a backup plan. If my original plan doesn't go well, we can come back after we gather the Great Rune."

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 16: The Red Wolf Guarding the Full Moon

The elevator at the entrance of the college slowly ascended with two passengers, and after a dozen seconds it stopped outside the garden shrouded in darkness.

The fountain in the courtyard no longer gushed clear water, and the hundreds of exotic flowers and plants planted there had all withered due to lack of gardener care. Now, this once flourishing and beautiful garden was only decorated with countless withered weeds.

“It’s such a shame to have so many flowers.”

Melina sighed and followed A'tai into the Azalea Church quickly.

In the past, many warriors came to take the test to become the Knights of Kalia, learning the magic treasured by the royal family. Unfortunately, most of them were unable to meet the requirements of this position and were eliminated in the harsh selection process.

Although these losers failed to get what they dreamed of, the Pyroxene mages made a deal with them instead, hiring these warriors to become the future Cuckoo Knights.

This quiet front gate church was born. The Cuckoo Knights exchanged skills and the secrets of pyroxene magic here, and also guarded the gate for the academy. It was considered the security duty department of Rhea Lukalia.

However, the "security guards" here suffered heavy casualties due to an incident, and this place is now almost empty. Only dozens of candles are left to decorate the stained glass windows and arched columns, leaving some traces of human life.

But the departure of the living does not mean that the church will be left unattended. The inhuman mechanical creation can continue to operate until its parts completely rust and rot.

Two bird-shaped puppet soldiers hung on the wall suddenly descended, wielding their powerful Whirlwind Four Blade Styles and charging at the two. These puppet soldiers could rotate 360 ​​degrees without blind spots, simultaneously engaging enemies from all directions. In their non-combatant state, their four hands could each hold a different cleaning tool, sweeping away dust at a rate over twice that of a human.

The mechanical creatures couldn't speak or communicate, so Ah Dai didn't bother to be polite with them. He blocked each of them and added a neat and clean unbalanced execution, sending away the two dedicated security guards and sweepers.

These guys generously contributed a sum of runes, a few broken weapons that could be sold for money, and finally their own urns. They basically gave away all the belongings they had on them, and Melina couldn't stop smiling.

A few minutes later, the two men, having passed through the church, stood before the waterwheel elevator leading to the classrooms. Following the topographical map carved on the academy's wall, to the left was the academy's small cemetery, dedicated to burying the mages who died of old age in Rhea Lukalia during the Seal. Taking the elevator directly up, they reached the classrooms where students held their daily classes and research, a place that was largely unused.

Anyone who can concentrate on studying during wartime instead of thinking about how to make a living is either a fool or a madman.

The two men stood beside the waterwheel that was constantly rising, rotating, and falling, watching for several minutes to confirm the time when this strange elevator reached the top, and then seized the opportunity and jumped one after another onto the platform raised by the water force.

"Buddy, what on earth were the people who built this place thinking?" Melina glanced at the receding ground below her, keeping her footing steady to avoid a fall from this elevator-less structure. "It's fine for wizards to fly up to class on broomsticks, but why would someone put a giant waterwheel in a castle to act as an elevator? Are they trying to show off their physics prowess?"

Ah Tu shrugged, took her hand and jumped onto the top platform. "Even if you ask me, I don't know. Why don't you write it down and ask Teacher Se Lian later?"

Melina pouted and shook off her partner's hand. "You're such a dull idiot. I absolutely don't want to go on a Ferris wheel with you anymore. I'll definitely be suffocated to death on the cable car."

Ah Di: "???"

The two men walked along the corridor outside the classroom, killing everyone who stood in their way. When they met the pyroxene wizard who was unaware of the situation, they hit him head-on, knocked him unconscious and threw him on the side of the road. Then they rushed to the innermost room of the outer spire.

The words "Discussion Room" are written outside the room, and just looking at the name it looks like a room used for meetings.

Melina looked around, sizing up the surrounding terrain. "One level up is the principal's office. Could there be hidden doors or priceless treasures there?"

"It's true that I can sense a powerful magical aura from behind the door, and it's motionless, unlike a living creature." Ah Tui placed his right hand on the door of the discussion room and gave a serious answer. "But it could also be a special magical mechanism. I always feel that the journey here was a bit too easy. Although there is a barrier seal set up outside, except for the patrol team we ran into when entering, we didn't encounter any decent resistance. Is the academy's defense a bit too lax?"

With the experience in Stonewell City, A'tai had a general understanding of the defense strength of the area where Daluun was located. Before entering the academy, he was mentally prepared to fight a tough battle.

Logically speaking, he should have encountered one or two strong men who were as powerful as the Lost Home Knight, but the fact was that they easily penetrated into the heart of the academy, which made him feel a little uneasy. He wondered if this was a trap to lure the enemy deep into the academy and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Seeing Ah Tui's joy and the worry in her brow, Melina chuckled and said, "Don't overthink it. If you want to know what it is, why don't we just open the door and take a look? It's just a waste of brain cells to think about it outside."

"That's right, then each of us will take one side."

After saying that, the two of them each placed their hands on one side of the door, and at the same time pushed open the heavy door that had been sealed for a long time.

After the door opened, what came into view was neither the magic trap that A'ti was worried about, nor the magic treasure that Melina expected. Instead, an oversized red wolf was sleeping quietly on the star-shaped floor pattern in the middle of the discussion room. The crystal chandelier above emitted a soft glow. The floor was piled with messy books, and the surrounding area was covered with broken small pyroxene particles.

"A... wolf?" Melina was taken aback by the unexpected sight. "Does the academy of magic keep magical animals? Was this address confused with the pet room?"

Just as she was about to go up to the temple to take a closer look, Ah Tui pressed the witch's shoulders and pulled her behind him: "Amei, if my guess is correct, the sleeping red wolf should be the guardian of this place."

"Guardian? But it's clearly still sleeping. We just need to sneak over there and not wake it up."

"You're wrong." Ah Tui shook his head solemnly, his eyes as if facing a great enemy. "It has already awakened. It has been awake since the moment we opened the door and set foot in the Red Wolf territory."

The scarlet wolf eyes suddenly opened, and the giant wolf stared at the prey that had entered its territory, and a terrifying pressure erupted.

"Ouch!"

The giant red wolf knelt on all fours, looked up at the full moon covered by clouds in the sky, and let out a roar as loud as thunder.

Born with red fur, the giant wolf resembles a warrior born from blood. Once upon a time, it galloped alongside its master on the battlefields of war, unstoppable and unmatched.

And now, the Slaughter Wolf accepted the last order given by his master before his departure and fell asleep in the depths of Rhea Lukalia, just to protect the only full moon under the aurora curtain.

It is the "Red Wolf of Radagon", a red wolf that guards the beloved "Full Moon Queen" on behalf of its departed master!

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 17: The Dark Moon Arrives

"Ouch——"

The red wolf roared loudly, shaking the earth. A golden-red magic blade condensed in the beast's mouth, and a thunderous strike instantly killed A'ti and Melina.

The two did not dare to delay. The witch jumped back and retreated out of the room, and A-Tu rolled sideways and narrowly avoided the edge of the magic blade. The crimson magic dissipated, leaving a faint afterimage of particles in the air.

Pushing the wall, rushing up, turning back, the series of movements are smooth and flowing.

The room's numerous cluttered objects and narrow walls didn't slow the red wolf's nimble movements for a moment. It stepped on the ceiling as if it were flat ground. Its tail swung freely, like a cloud, leaving clusters of twinkling blue stars in its path. The magic power stored in the light rapidly increased.

The Red Wolf clan is a natural warrior, and this red wolf, bred by Radagon and Lenara, has mastered both the Golden Prayer and the Pyroxene Magic, making him a rare top student in the wolf pack.

Apart from not being able to speak human language, its intelligence is even higher than more than 90% of the magicians in the academy. Spells that require a while for pyroxene mages to prepare are easy for it to perform, and it can cast multiple spells with just a sweep of its tail.

The Red Wolf's solid and powerful, mountain-like body makes him invincible in close combat. His dual attack method combining magic and physics is a perfect tactic with no shortcomings, and it is a nightmare that all those who dare to fight it have to face.

"A combination of long-range magic and close-quarters blade combat?" Ah Dai's expression remained calm as he approached the battle, secretly applauding his enemy's impressive fighting skills. "If your master fought alongside you, this would have been an unstoppable battle."

The best way to get out of the predicament he could think of was to use "Kaliah's Return", which, according to Serlian, could break spells. By repelling the long-range magic that arrived first, he could shoot down the red wolf that jumped down from the air and brought a fatal finishing blow.

But A-Tai hasn't learned this trick yet, so he chose a lower-level counterattack method.

Ah Tui rolled on the ground, and the continuous rolling fake moves kept the distance between him and the Red Wolf, while deceiving him from landing in close combat. Facing the Starlight Demon Gravel that automatically searched for the enemy, he immediately made a counterattack that ordinary people could not imagine.

Magic billion^cage 1 death Wu Jiusi blame, swift pyroxene magic gravel!

This move was also used by someone in the patrol team that welcomed the two at the door. Its power is slightly lower than that of ordinary pyroxene magic gravel. The advantage is that it consumes less magic power, has a faster casting speed, and requires a slightly higher intelligence.

But compared to the crude magic techniques of the Pyroxene mages, Ah Tui's performance of this move was truly artistic. In just two seconds, he locked onto the trajectory of the magic gravel released by Red Wolf, then followed up a tumble with a rapid-fire spell to counterattack, firing off every ray of blue starlight that followed.

The classic operation of the "White Devil" firing at the "Red Comet" floater was repeated.

This risky move required incredible concentration, extraordinary courage, and instantaneous reaction ability. Any slight mistake would result in his subsequent spellcasting being interrupted, and he would then be sent to the ICU by a series of magical attacks.

"He actually used this method to neutralize the enemy's attack... His partner's talent in combat is truly terrifying." Melina, who was watching the battle at the door, was stunned, and the soul-summoning bell in her hand stopped in mid-air.

She could have used her agility to dodge the spell in a fraction of a second, but she couldn't pull off the brilliant counterattack that Ah Dai had. The witch had assumed Ah Dai would take a steady approach, using his shield to forcibly withstand the attack, then find a chance to drink the Red Drops bottle, then cast a magic shield and begin a "you fight yours, I fight mine" two-way show.

No one expected that he would actually show off a series of thrilling and exciting point-shooting operations.

On the battlefield, the continuous casting of spells and high-intensity exercise made the Red Wolf show a trace of fatigue. Ah Tui did not miss the fleeting opportunity. His sword moved with the wind, and he turned around and raised the sharp blade to counterattack.

Combat skills, ready stance!

The blade, strengthened by a top-notch blacksmith, was extremely sharp. With one simple blow, it cut through the fur that the red wolf was so proud of. The blood that flowed from the wound dyed the bright red fur a deeper dark red.

"Ouch——"

The excruciating pain from the injury only fueled the beast's frenzy. The magical energy exploding from its body deflected the Faded One's two consecutive slashes. With nimble steps, Ah Tui dodged the wolf's jaws, leaving several shocking bloody marks on the giant wolf's side as he moved.

Although red wolves are highly intelligent, they do not know how to adapt without the command of their owners.

As time passed, the balance of the battle gradually shifted towards A-Tai, and the beast felt powerless due to excessive blood loss. After another confrontation, the red wolf shook its head, leaped back to increase the distance, and regained its chaotic consciousness. It realized that if it continued to delay, it would have no chance of winning.

The guardian wolf tilted its head slightly. The bright moon outside the window was still shrouded in dark clouds. It raised its head and roared for the last time, determined to put life and death aside and go all out to protect its master.

"Are you ready to fight to the death?" Ah Tai calmed his slightly rapid breathing and switched his weapons. Delaying any longer would undoubtedly be more advantageous for him. It wouldn't be long before Red Wolf, drained of blood, completely lost his fighting ability. But that wasn't the farewell a glorious guardian deserved.

A'tai will not dodge or retreat. The king has the magnanimity of a king, and the strong has the bearing of a strong. The next head-on confrontation will determine the outcome of this battle.

The red wolf roared and howled, and the hair on its body stood up as if it had been electrocuted. Magical energy filled the beast's body, turning it into a complete killing machine in the next short period of time.

Leaning over, sprinting, lunging forward, all the movements were connected into a series of afterimages in an instant.

With only one chance to strike, Ah Tui saw the chances of winning this battle in a split second, and the rules of victory had already been decided!

Magic, pyroxene magic gravel!

The fragments condensed by magic attacked head-on, but only hit the shadow that dissipated in the air, and brushed past the red wolf's forward figure. The direction that the Faded One was aiming seemed to have deviated.

The orange-gold magic blade was so close that it seemed that it would cut through the chest of the Faded One in the next second.

However...even though the situation was extremely critical, A'tai remained calm.

"boom--"

The ominous sound of pyroxene demonic gravel piercing through something came from above Red Wolf's head. The rope was cut, and the exquisite artwork hanging above the house fell down with a loud bang. The already dim light in the house dimmed even more.

The target of this 2`Jiuqi Liu@*Bajiaoshi Demon Gravel was not the jumping and flashing enemy at all, because A Tu knew very well that the Demon Gravel's too slow flying trajectory would make it almost impossible to hit the agile Red Wolf. He had been aiming at the crystal chandelier diagonally above his head from the beginning.

The crashing chandelier struck the red wolf in the waist and hindquarters, and the scattered glass fragments caused it severe secondary damage. The beast's lustrous fur visibly shrank, but it still struggled to stand, freeing itself from the shackles, relying on its willpower to regain its feet.
