Elden Ring, my witch is a talkative beautiful girl

The facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it. Legendary magicians were just that outrageous.

At this point, Melina could only grit her teeth and go ahead. "Buddy, I'll try my best to buy you some time and create a one-on-one opportunity for you."

The bell rings, the ashes come out.

The Forsaken Knight and the harpy-like puppet soldier both emerged from the gray mist. Small and agile, they engaged the Goblin Knight and the dragon in a tangle, holding them back for a short period of time. As for whether they could win... well, that was a bit much to think about. It was a good thing Oleg could hold on, dragging his little puppet brother along.

Above the atmosphere, starlight gathered, and Lenara's rotating staff condensed into tiny points of glow. The next wave of magic that arrived was the opening move that both of them were very familiar with, Comet Azrael!

The comet is about to fall, and A'tu, who is on the left side of the picture, also takes out his staff and condenses the free magical elements in the atmosphere. The comets summoned by both sides trigger an extreme conflict, and the lake water evaporates at the center of the two energy conflicts.

"Teacher Seren said that we must use magic to defeat magic!"

Ten seconds later, A'tai, who failed to counter the wave, was knocked away.

Although both used the same magic, the Full Moon Queen's staff was a top-grade weapon crafted with the utmost care by the royal blacksmiths of Kalia, rivaling the Sword Skeleton in quality. Meanwhile, the Faded One had been using a common staff since his debut, and the increased mana from the equipment had disrupted the balance in output between the two.

"The situation is not good." Ah Tui shook his head twice to drive away the dizziness caused by the knockback and took a sip of Red Drops.

If the energy collision had not offset some of the power, he would have been turned into a charred corpse under the high heat impact of the comet.

However, Lena's second charge was nearing its end, and there was no mercy in the Full Moon Queen's cold eyes. The second Comet Azrael followed closely, but the Faded One did not have enough concentration for a second bombardment.

"Partner, stop it!" Melina sensed her partner's danger from the corner of her eye. She didn't bother to continue commanding the summoned creatures to hold back the opponent and ran to the other side. However, no matter how fast a person is, he can never catch up with the falling comet.

The dazzling starlight arrived in an instant, and the scorching tail flame seemed to blind Ah Tui's eyes. With no way out, he decided to take a gamble: "Ninety percent chance, let's go for it!"

In a life-or-death moment, A-Tai unleashed a brand-new magic, a light blue film covering a foot in front of him. When the comet's light landed on the protective barrier, the aurora, once so powerful, failed to penetrate it, instead deviating from its original trajectory and heading towards the end of the sky.

This spell does not require high intelligence or a lot of concentration. It is a great skill created by a mortal with all his efforts. It breaks the tradition and is a new type of magic worth ten runes.

Magic! Topps's Stand!

In traditional magic exploration, the stronger the person, the stronger the magic. The more advanced the magic, the more powerful the ability required. The weak are limited by their innate qualities and can only use basic and weak magic.

Throughout history, countless weak magicians have tried to subvert this theory and find new ways to break through their limitations. Unfortunately, they all gave up halfway, either abandoning magic or giving up on themselves, and fell on this narrow path where no one knew where the end was.

But thousands of years later, there was a dull wizard who never gave up throughout his life. His theory, which was ridiculed countless times by everyone, eventually created the ultimate magic that allowed the weak to challenge the strong and mortals to challenge gods.

Tops, the most mentally retarded student in the history of Rhea Lukalia, is a mortal who can rival gods!

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 23: Moonfall

"Ahem..." Ah Tui spat out a mouthful of blood foam, the left hand armor that was blocking his body showing a charred black color. "The research progress is only 10% away from completion. So it's not the probability of success, but the inability to block all damage? Well, it's better than relying on the illusory probability."

As Topps had said, stance magic wasn't completely perfected yet, and it still had the flaw of being unable to completely deflect attacks, effectively negating about 90% of their power. This was why he wanted to return to the magic academy to complete the final stage of his research.

"I was so scared! What the hell were you doing?" Melina panted, her face full of fear. She was relieved to see that Ah Tu was fine. "Could that magic just now be..."

"It's the magic Uncle Topps taught me." Ah Tui chuckled, drank half a bottle of Red Dettol, and poured the remaining Dettol on his injured arm. "There's no surefire way to win this battle. If you want to win, you have to fight hard."

Ah Tui could afford a 3% risk. If his previous move failed to achieve the desired effect, he would have been ready to sacrifice himself with a shield of defensive magic.

The Moon Queen paused her spellcasting and gazed at the barrier that reflected Comet Azler. A hint of interest lingered in her cold gaze. "This is magic I've never seen before. It has some similarities to Kaliafon, but the basic structure of the spell is much simpler."

"You... can communicate normally?" As soon as the Full Moon Queen came in, she acted like a battle maniac with an automatic defense mechanism, as if she was completely unable to communicate. No wonder Melina was so surprised.

"I know your intentions, and who sent you here. My lovely daughter wished to awaken me, and I... wished to test the one she chose." The battle between the summons ended. The Forsaken Knight severely wounded the troll and severed a claw from the dragon. Lenarra didn't respond directly to the miko, but waved her hand to disperse the ashes of the troll knight and the dragon. "Your performance is worthy of my full strength. If you die here, it can only be blamed on your lack of strength."

In the closed inner world, the real Full Moon Queen saw through it clearly. She raised her staff and head with a flip of her hand, and the final great magic made the whole illusion tremble.

The sky darkened, the stars lost their luster, and the bright moon fell from the sky at the pull of Lenara.

Looking down from above, Reinara pushed her magical power to an unprecedented limit: "Let me see if the person chosen by Reinara has the ability to accompany her to the end of this journey!"

Legendary magic! Lenara's unique magic! The moon has passed since the birth of the Bashi Qi IV!

As children, Lenarra and her sister encountered their own moons—the same beautiful moon that would later conquer the magic academy. This indelible memory inspired the two sisters to create their own unique legendary magic.

The Full Moon Queen unleashed a celestial blow with all her might, sending icy cold air crashing across the face. Frost suddenly appeared all over the ground, and the white frost froze the rippling clear lake water.

If they can take on the last big magic, it will be the victory of Atai and Melina; if they fail, the only ending will be their death.

Adai had no idea whether his stance, which was only one step away from completion, could withstand this crucial blow, and he had no time to think about what Lena meant.

Ah Tui turned his head and signaled the witch to take shelter from the attack: "Amei, run as far as you can. I'm not sure I can stop the falling moon."

Since the Full Moon Queen of the spiritual world was conscious, if he died here, at least Melina could be saved. It was better for him to die alone than for both of them to die.

"Buddy, go ahead and attack with confidence. I'll find a way to make up for the lack of defensive stance." Melina showed no intention of retreating. Instead, she pulled out a miniature golden shield, the same one used by the Tree Guardian, from her dimensional bag and slipped it around her wrist. "Trust me, when have I ever lied to you?"

Ah Tui gave his partner a deep look, knowing that Melina had made up her mind. Continuing to nag at her would be a sign of distrust: "Okay, pay attention to the rhythm of my casting."

"Well, let's shoot down the moon together!"

Side by side, the Fader and the Witch walk through thick and thin together, advancing and retreating together!

Even if the sky really falls, Melina will stand by A'tai until the last moment.

The sky collapsed, the moon fell, and at that moment when the bright moon in the sky and the shadow of the moon on the lake overlapped with each other, the magic power that Lenara had accumulated to the peak poured out.

At the same time, A'di released his strongest defensive skill.

Magic, Topps's stance!

The magical barrier-avoidance system, rippling like water waves, reappeared, taking the lead in confronting the massive celestial body falling from the night sky. This time, the impenetrable defensive stance was unable to easily deflect "Leinara's Full Moon." Upon closer inspection, starting from the point of contact, the stance was gradually being disintegrated by the full moon.

The divine skill that reigns at the pinnacle of pyroxene magic has the ability to instantly decompose all magical attacks. Even the light of a comet is too small in front of a full moon. Such a great power has difficulty in facing the magic created by mortals.

If the "Tops Stand" was completely completed and flawless, it would surely be able to prevent the moon from falling, but the unfinished stand could only withstand it for a moment. The coldness that gradually covered and spread on Ah Tui's arm was the best proof of this. He felt that his hand was gradually losing sensation.

At that moment, a glimmer of warm golden light supported the crumbling defense. Melina ignored the terrifying chill and tightly grasped A's hand. The miniature golden shield the witch wore on her arm suddenly grew a full circle larger as the power of faith infused it. The warm, soft golden light dispelled the chill and further deflected the full moon, which had been depleted of most of its power.

Combat skills, golden tree shield!

This move is a prayer created by the Golden Clan using the power of faith. Its function is similar to "Return of Kalia". Both can be added to the shield. When the enemy's move is about to hit you, seize the opportunity and return the favor in their own way.

The prerequisite is that the combat effectiveness of the two sides cannot be too different, otherwise it will end in a tragic end with the shield destroyed and the people killed.

The full moon released by Lenara was consumed by the stance and hit by Melina's wonderful shield. The celestial body that was about to fall to the ground finally returned to the sky, and the dazzling golden light illuminated the world in all directions. In an instant, the night seemed as bright as day.

The time in the mental world seems to have frozen at this moment.

"Is that... the radiance of the Golden Tree?" Two lines of burning tears slid down Reinara's cold cheeks. Her frozen heart melted into a puddle of snow before this familiar scene. "It's so similar, exactly the same radiance he displayed back then."

......

Outside the battlefield, the war between "Full Moon" and "Red Hair" was nearing its end. The holy hammer symbolizing the Golden Law stopped in mid-air. This battle that would determine the outcome of the Lienia War was heading towards a third outcome that no one had expected.

Radagon knelt on one knee, and the soldiers on both sides stopped fighting in surprise. The red-haired hero defeated the Full Moon Queen, but did not take her life. Instead, he openly declared his love for her in front of everyone.

"The bright moon hanging high in the sky should not be stained with the color of blood. Such a color does not suit your gentleness. Marry me. I swear in the name of the 'Red-haired Hero' to protect you and the royal family of Kalia for the rest of my life."

A lifetime promise, a lifetime of protection, the girl who fell in love put down her weapons and married the opponent who once fought against each other.

The stars sent their blessings to the full moon, and the miracle brought by the tears of the stars that day wiped away the bloodshed of the past.

......

"I'm sorry, my love."

The words spoken by the man she loved most in her life as he left still echoed in Lenara's ears. She apologized to him in countless words, and she knew that her husband had no choice.

Everything cannot be repeated, and the past cannot be changed. She knew in her heart that the man who had promised to love her forever had his consciousness occupied by something, and the red-haired hero would never return to "Man Yue".

Radagan was willing to bear the blame and stick to the promise he made to her until the last moment.

"You're such a fool, just as clumsy as when I first met you."

Lenara understood, she understood everything, but she was still lost in this long-overdue dream, unwilling to wake up. But dreams must eventually end, and the Full Moon Queen lost to the man her daughter had chosen. As a mother, all she could do was offer her sincerest blessings.

As she disappeared, Lenara smiled in relief. Perhaps this ending wasn't so bad after all.

"...Ah, Lani...my lovely daughter...step into the night that belongs to you."

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 24: How about I recognize your mother as my godmother?

The lights in the large library were bright.

Princess Lani of Dark Moon was distracted, maintaining the magic circle while manipulating the measuring tape back and forth, measuring Ah Tui's various physical parameters. "Arm span, fingers, waist circumference, leg length... Tailoring is such a hassle. Why should I bother with this? Can't I just pick an old set from the warehouse and give it to him? And what if he doesn't agree to my offer? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?"

She puffed up her cheeks and started to get angry with herself, but soon she reconciled herself: "Hmph, if he doesn't agree, I will tie him up and take him back. He dared to bring shame to this witch, how can he not pay the price?"

Suddenly, the light of the magic circle flickered, the connection was broken, and A'tu and Melina opened their eyes.

"What price? Oh, by the way, the mission is more difficult than expected, so your reward will be increased." The witch woke up as if from a dream, stretched her stiff limbs, and said, "I want more money." "Huh? Are your clothes dry? I thought I was soaked and needed to find a place to change clothes."

Lani remained calm. Hidden behind her back, she hooked her index finger, and the measuring tape quietly flew back into her hand. "Since you're entering the spiritual world, your bodies will naturally remain outside. As long as you don't die inside, any damage you sustain there won't be carried back to your body. Your equipment, weapons, and physical condition won't be affected either."

"No wonder the equipment came back on its own. I thought I had to go back to pick up some weapons." Ah Dai drew out his straight sword and looked at it carefully. The blade was intact. He couldn't afford to lose this old friend who had accompanied him through all the ups and downs.

Seeing the two return safely, Lani knew that the matter was accomplished. She removed the magic circle and looked at her mother Lenara.

Inside the transparent amber egg, a faint golden glow dazzled the three people's eyes. When they regained their vision, there was a piece of debris floating quietly in front of Ah Tui.

The Great Rune of the Unborn, its small golden circle outlined by a towering vertical line, this fragment of the Elden Ring symbolizes the cycle of life. It was taken by Radagon before the Shattering War and given to his wife for safekeeping. After a thousand years, this fragment will finally return to its place of origin.

"We've collected the second Great Rune. We're only one piece away from the minimum requirement to open the seal of the Royal City!" Melina jumped up and clapped her hands with A-Tu. "Hehehe, we're one step ahead of that bean sprout again. When we get back to the Round Table Hall, we'll be able to admire his expression of helplessness and fury again."

Melina enjoyed provoking Sir Baizhi just to see the look of jealousy and madness on his face.

"Amei, don't deliberately provoke that guy. We might need to exchange information with him later." Atai carefully kept the second large rune and then asked about Lani's situation. "Lady Lenara, how is your mother...?"

Logically speaking, using a combination of magic and physics to treat the Full Moon Queen's autism from within should have led to some improvement. However, she remained silent, clutching the amber egg, her eyes glazed over, like someone in the late stages of Alzheimer's. Yet, it seemed as if she hadn't changed much. She didn't exude the terrifying pressure she possessed during battles in the mindscape.

Lani held Lenarra's hand, a worried look on her two pretty faces, one real and one imaginary. "The Great Rune has been safely removed. As expected, my method should have worked. Or perhaps Mother's condition will take time to improve."

Entering a closed spiritual world to heal a heart disease was an unprecedented method. She had searched through ancient books and found no similar cases to refer to. Even with Lani's extraordinary talent and thorough preparation, she couldn't guarantee that she could restore her mother, Lenara, to her original state.

"Lani, you've grown up." Suddenly, an intelligent voice rang in the girl's ears. "I'm sorry to have caused you and your friends so much trouble with my affairs."

For the first time in many years, Lenara's eyes left the amber egg in her arms, and she looked at her daughter who had grown into a young lady with tender eyes.

Lani stared at her mother in amazement. Their eyes met, and Princess Dark Moon burst into tears of joy. She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away the tears, "Mother, I am your daughter, the heir to the Calia royal family. These matters are nothing."

Hearing this, Melina couldn't help but whisper in Ah Tui's ear, "Being a big shot is so tiring. Even at this time, you still have to pay attention to face and etiquette. If it were me, I would have thrown myself into my mother's arms and burst into tears by now."

Ah Tui's mouth twitched, and he whispered back, "Amei, this is a touching moment of reunion after a long separation, just watch quietly and say less."

Our own witch is still so outspoken and doesn't care about the atmosphere at all. If she gives a speech at the funeral and nags a little, she can even make people who have just died come back to life.

Lenara shook her head and laughed, her haggard face brightening with a smile. "You're different from me. You've always been strong-willed, keeping your thoughts to yourself. Even when you've been wronged, you just put on a stern face." The queen's eyes casually passed over A'tai, and when she glanced at Melina, she seemed to sigh faintly. "You can't be like this when you meet someone you like. If you don't hold on to the person you like, happiness will slip through your fingers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people present had different expressions. One had a red face; one had a puzzled look; and one was completely unaware.

"Mom! What are you talking about?!" With just one sentence, Lani was so frightened that she lost all her elegant demeanor and even changed her way of addressing people. Only then did she let go of her princess's reserve.

"You just need to know whether Mom is talking nonsense or not." Lenarra smiled, delighted by her daughter's naive and shy look. She patted Leni's head and waved to Melina, "Little girl, come forward."

"Little girl? Are you talking about me?" Melina pointed at herself. It seemed that there was no third girl in this place.

She walked closer, feeling uneasy at first, wondering if someone had overheard her whisper, but unexpectedly, Lena pulled the witch into her arms.

"Hey, wait, wait..." Melina was caught off guard and was hugged by Lenara along with Lani. "Auntie, I'm not your daughter. You don't have to be so polite... Woo..."

The facial cleanser that was sticky to her face covered the witch's head, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Ah Tui took two steps back and turned away, avoiding seeing anything he shouldn't see. He complained in his heart, "It seems the disease hasn't been cured yet, or the treatment is incomplete."

He covered his ears and walked backward out of the library to feel the night breeze outside, blocking out this memory from his mind to prevent the only witness from being silenced by the two angry girls.

Wood is wood, but A-Tai's independent survival instinct has always been strong.

......

After a while, outside the library.

"I'm sorry, mother hasn't regained consciousness long ago and is a bit agitated. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Lani calmed down and brushed off the incident. She would get angry if anyone dared to bring it up again. "Now, let's talk about the reward. Runes, weapons, magic, anything the royal family can provide, you can ask for it."

The second generation of rich people are different. They show their wealth as soon as they open their mouths. I pay you not based on what I have, but based on what you want.

"Uh..." Melina blinked her long eyelashes, pondering the best plan for maximizing her benefits, wavering between several options. "How about giving us your body? If there are any expenses that require runes, you can just reimburse them directly."

Well, she is trying to "fish for the moon in the bottom of the sea", aiming to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Lani sneered: "If you say so, why don't you let my mother adopt you as her adopted daughter, and then give you half of the royal property directly."

She was a little jealous because she saw that Lenara was unusually nice to Melina.

"Okay, okay, don't regret it. I will go and recognize your mother as my godmother now. By the way, we can discuss to put her ahead of you in terms of seniority. If anything happens in the future, I will protect you." One of them dared to say it, and the other dared to agree. Melina immediately prepared to climb up the ladder and return to the big library to recognize her mother.

She stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and her partner next to her slammed on the brakes, stopping her excitement.

"Ahem, Ah Mei loves to joke around. Don't listen to her nonsense." Ah Tui put a hood over the witch to hide the sparkling ￥ in her eyes. "As for the reward... we want a pyroxene key, okay?"

If Melina continued to talk nonsense, they would be unable to leave Rhea Lukalia by dawn.

"A pyroxene key?" Lani asked doubtfully. "Of course I can, but don't you already have one? Having too many of those things is useless. You only get one chance, so think carefully."
