Elden Ring, my witch is a talkative beautiful girl

"I suspect his memory is stuck at the time of the Ionian War, and he still believes it's not over." Melina swung the summoning bell. "Partner, I'll take care of the miscellaneous soldiers. You focus on dealing with that old general."

A skinny wizard leaning on a cane emerged from the summoning circle.

Ashes, powerful magician.

This portable old man was bought from Roderica at a 30% discount as a friendly price. He is also one of the few ashes with long-range attack capabilities. As long as he is alive, he can continuously shoot out pyroxene magic gravel.

The premise is... if he can survive and export it.

"Ah, hello, I'm a distinguished magician at your service. I'm a bit of a nag when I get older, so I hope you don't mind." The frail magician, easily blown down by the wind, stood on the Crimson Swamp. Within a few words, his legs began to corrode and melt. "Alas, the environment here isn't very suitable for an old man to exercise. I have to go back soon. If you have any instructions, I'll come back next time..."

The powerful magician has returned to the world of spirits.

He didn't even finish his second sentence before he died gloriously in battle due to environmental damage.

"Hey, wait a minute, my goodness..." Melina held her forehead in her hands, speechless. "Next time, I should ask Roderica to recommend me some ashes with stronger vitality. Is this powerful magician trying to tease me?"

The witch often fails to perform well, and the enemies coming to kill her will not be kind enough to give her the time to summon the ashes again.

"The battle never ends, life never ends!"

"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"

"Defend our country today!"

The three heroic warriors used swords, spears and halberds, and coordinated their three weapons seamlessly with amazing momentum. They attacked Melina from the left, center and right, blocking all her escape routes.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Melina could only use her long-trained killer move and shouted, "Partner, someone's killing someone! Help!"

In broad daylight, she couldn't transform on the spot from an auxiliary witch to a shadow assassin and complete a triple kill in one second. Of course, calling for help became the only way to save her life.

Hearing his partner's cry for help, A'tu immediately seized the opportunity, blocked O'Neal's wildly swinging flag, pulled out the meteorite staff from his waist with his left hand, aimed at the side and rear and inserted it into the muddy swamp.

Gravity magic, gravity ball!

A purple transparent sphere appeared out of thin air. With the sphere's trajectory as the center, all nearby objects were pulled by a powerful gravity, and the swamp lake water flowed back into the hole.

The three heroic warriors who were running forward were caught off guard at once, their brave forward momentum was instantly stagnant, and the encirclement and killing formation was broken in an instant.

Moreover, his purpose of using this control skill is more than just that.

"Amei, now's the time!"

"Roger that!"

Atui shouted loudly, and Melina immediately understood what he meant. She shook the soul-summoning bell again and summoned Kulala, the earliest soul jellyfish that followed in the ashes.

"Kurara, use Venom Spray!"

After being trained by Roderica, Krala is no longer the same as before. She launched a fierce attack as soon as she appeared on the scene, spraying the three heroic brothers with nerve venom all over their heads and faces.

"what!"

"Eye!"

"Out of sight!"

Once the blindness debuff was applied, the battle was nearing its end.

"Take this!" The object with a lit fuse in Melina's hand turned out to be a combustion pot filled with gunpowder.

The terrain disadvantage is two-way. The swamp eroded by scarlet corruption still cannot escape the nature of a swamp. If an explosive is dropped in an area with rich methane, the consequences can be imagined.

The flame pot was thrown from the witch's hand, drawing a graceful parabola above the three people's heads, and then -

"boom!"

The exploding sparks fell on the surface of the swamp, and the raging flames that suddenly exploded engulfed the three panicked soldiers. The surging flames once again brought them back to the arms of death.

"Ugh!"

"Not reconciled!"

"How could you... fall here?"

No matter how strong their fighting spirit was, they could not escape the scorching flames and were completely burned to ashes in just a dozen seconds.

"Well done!" Ah Tui praised: "In this way..."

"You're fighting with me, and you still have time to save people and look around? Don't you take me seriously?!" O'Neill, who had recovered from his imbalance, attacked with all his strength. The dancing flag hit A'tai's heraldic shield from the side and bottom. The exquisite move blew away the shield he relied on for protection.

"With such a broken body, you can still hit my weak points accurately." Without time to care about the flying shield, Ah Tui took a step sideways, put away the meteorite staff, and fought the old veteran with all his strength.

"The experience of the elderly is invaluable. Defeat me now, my deadly barrage of blows!" O'Neill, taking advantage of the situation, stabbed the Faded One with his halberd, switching from striking to stabbing, and pierced the Faded One's wide-open gate. "In your next life, remember not to be distracted in battle. Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

The long spear thrust out like a storm, rolling up numerous phantoms, vowing to end the battle with this move.

Without the shield, A'tai was unable to block or defend, and the swift halberd blocked the possibility of dodging in a small area with small steps. Rolling on the scarlet swamp was no different from suicide.

At the critical moment, Ah Tui's free left hand actually drew out the straight sword that had not been used for many days.

Straight sword, famous sword, left sword, right sword, two-sword parrying posture!

Two weapons were held in Ah Tui's left and right hands, forming a cross, firmly blocking the halberd's lightning-fast thrust. The sudden change in the situation left O'Neill in a dilemma: "What? You actually...saw through my spear's path?"

"Isn't it natural for the Faded to protect their own miko? We don't intend to lose here!"

Ah Tui smiled confidently. He had encountered more dangerous and urgent situations than the current one. How could he fall in a place like this? "Old General, don't underestimate the power of young people. It's my turn now."

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 49: Conspiracy and Bystanders

A fierce battle was raging in the center of the Ionian swamp. Not far away, among the dense scarlet bushes, four red-haired women concealed their presence and watched the entire battle from beginning to end.

And these four people look similar. Excluding the difference in weapons, they are almost identical. They are twin sisters carved from the same mold.

Eldest sister Mary.

Second sister Jasmine.

Third sister Aimi.

The youngest sister, Pollyanna.

And...Millicent, the fourth child who lost her memory.

Except for the fifth sister who embarked on the journey back to the sacred tree first and paved the way for everyone, all the half-bodies born from the corrupt flowers blooming in Malenia gathered in the Ionian swamps, the place where they were originally born.

The six sisters share the same origin, have red hair of varying lengths, and similar appearances. They all represent a part of Malenia's own will, and also inherit fragments of her martial arts, strength, and memories.

Also acquired was the scarlet corruption that wrapped around half of the body like a cancer.

As the second flower of corruption bloomed, the Scarlet God's erosion of Malenia further advanced. Five of the six differentiated halves no longer resisted fate and accepted the scarlet corruption in their bodies.

The only exception is Millicent, who symbolizes the dignity and pride of the Valkyrie and has inherited the memory fragments related to the Water Swordsman. She is the only one who has mastered all of Malenia's swordsmanship and can bring the "Water Bird Dance" back to the world.

As the battle was drawing to a close, O'Neill was showing signs of defeat. The four sisters who had been preparing to secretly help him gave up their plans to interfere with the course of the battle and help the Faded Ones.

The youngest sister, Pollyanna, looked at her eldest sister and said, "Sister Mary, it looks like we don't need to get involved in this battle."

"Well, it's better not to interfere." Mary nodded slightly, "lest it be superfluous and arouse their suspicion."

Third sister Aimi said coldly: "The plan made by those bugs is perfect. Our mission will proceed smoothly."

"The day of return is approaching, and my brother is waiting for us." The last person to speak was the second sister, Jasmine. "Millicent cannot escape the calling of her heart. She will definitely embark on the journey."

The four red figures who were watching secretly disappeared at the same time. After meeting Gwei, they will also embark on the journey to the Holy Tree City and return to their origin.

Normally, they should have set off the moment they accepted corruption and understood the meaning of their birth, but because of the unstable and unexpected factor of Millicent, the corrupt sisters were forced to stay in the Ionian swamps and, with the help of their corrupt followers, they made a series of plans.

In terms of fighting power, Millicent was the strongest of the sisters, capable of almost single-handedly defeating the other two. Although the four of them were certain to win together, casualties were inevitable.

Once someone is hung here, the power to return to the original body will inevitably be damaged, which is seriously inconsistent with the plan of the Scarlet God of Corruption.

It would definitely not work if they forced it, as the chances of losing money were too high, so they painstakingly planned a series of events so that Millicent could embark on the journey back to the City of Sacred Trees on her own.

The first step is to use the torture of corruption disease to make Millicent lose most of her memories; the second step is to obtain Michaela's golden needle and let veteran O'Neill get it and serve as the guardian of the golden needle; the final third step is for the corrupt followers to disguise themselves as the sage Gwei, lure an unrelated but powerful third party into the game, and give it to Millicent after obtaining the golden needle, so that she can follow the voice of her heart after losing her memory.

The three-ring plan is closely linked, and they will assist at every step to ensure smooth progress. Now it is finally time to close the net.

"We'll take our leave now. I'll leave the finishing touches to you. Please don't mess it up."

The four Scarlet Sisters came and went with the wind, and with their nimble bodies they flew over the steep mountains, preparing to cross the peak west of Galid and return to the Holy Snowfield on foot.

Inside the dilapidated house, after listening to the report, the "sage" slowly stood up from the recliner, left a parchment scroll and a letter, and walked out of the house.

"Hahaha..." Gwei laughed in a low, sinister voice. The illusion covering his form dissipated, revealing his true appearance, like a centipede of corrupted followers. "The finest, sweetest buds are about to bloom. Our gods will eventually return. A perfect future is truly exciting!"

...Slip into the printing business wing eight teacher bar ...

At the same time, the fight in the swamp was coming to an end.

The Faded Ones drew their swords and knives, breaking the fierce attack of spears and halberds in the blink of an eye.

The close combat was brutal and merciless. A sword cut off the rusty spear head, and a knife cut through the armor protecting the veteran's body. The bright red flag that never fell finally fell into the mud and was covered with dust.

O'Neal knelt on one knee, his heavy breathing like an ox showing that this battle-hardened veteran no longer had the strength to fight: "The young are formidable. I really can't refuse to admit my age."

"You and your men have lost. According to the verbal agreement before the war, you should hand over the golden needle to us." Melina recalled Kulala and switched the mode of force to civilized negotiation. The golden needle was still in the opponent's hand. If he suddenly had a corruption attack and destroyed everything, it would be a big deal if the needle was broken.

"I'm willing to accept the loss. I won't refuse to pay what's yours. Ahem, ahem..." O'Neill coughed violently. "But there's one more thing I want to confirm. Please tell me, who do you want to treat with this golden needle?"

Even though his memory was fragmented and unclear, he still wanted to hear the name of the man he followed from the two young men. As a soldier, O'Neill was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of dying in vain.

Ah Tui said frankly: "We obtained the golden needles to treat Mi..."

Before saying "Millicent's" name, Melina reached out to stop her partner, shook her head at him, and then continued the second half of the sentence: "This golden needle will be used to treat the successor of the Flowing Water Swordsman."

"The successor of the Flowing Water Swordsman, I see. Knowing that master is still safe and sound, I, an old man, can rest assured on my journey." O'Neill's trembling, calloused hands held out the delicate golden needle. "I entrust this needle and that master to you..."

After giving his final words, O'Neal's cloudy eyes dimmed, his head drooped, and his armored body decayed and dissolved at an extremely fast rate, leaving only an empty shell. The spirit that had supported him to hold on until now finally dissipated.

Ah Tu watched the old general, Yishan Mingba, gradually sink into the swamp. He placed his sword against his chest and saluted solemnly. He then carefully put away the golden needle. "Amei, thank you for your white lie, which allowed General O'Neill to rest in peace. If it were me, I would have told him the truth, which would have left him with some regrets."

"A white lie?" Melina blinked, then realized what A-Tu meant. She shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, you misunderstood. I didn't lie. I just chose the right words that he could understand. It's hard to explain in a few words. I'll explain it to you in detail after we save him."

In their brief encounter outside the church, Melina sensed a familiar presence from her younger sister. While she didn't know why she had become this way, the miko was certain that Millicent was Malenia, or a part of her. Therefore, the answer of "successor to the Water Swordsman" was certainly not wrong.

Volume 2: Flowing Stars: Chapter 50: Are You Awake? The Operation Was Successful!

When Alec and Melina entered the church carrying the life-saving golden needle, Millicent's condition had deteriorated beyond imagination.

The red-haired girl knelt on the ground, leaning against the wall, unable to move. The sleeve on her right hand was empty, her originally neat long hair was loose, and her face was extremely pale.

"The situation is more serious than we expected." Melina quickened her pace. "It's only one step away from becoming corrupt and losing its rationality."

Fortunately, they made it in time. As long as they used the golden needles containing life force to suppress the scarlet corruption, Millicent's condition would gradually improve over time.

"Don't... don't come near me!" Even though she was enduring excruciating pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine, Millicent still took the initiative to speak out a warning. The sharp edge of Sesher's long sword separated the two approaching people. "The scarlet corruption in my body is stirring... I don't know when... it will lose control..."

Beads of sweat covered her forehead and soaked her rosy temples. Just saying this sentence exhausted all of Millicent's strength.

The crimson corruption ravaged her with waves of strength, and Millicent could feel her consciousness about to be consumed by the corruption, plunging her into a state of boundless madness. She had no idea what madness she would commit. She might even strike a stranger with her knife.

"Calm down." Ah Tui raised his palms to show that he meant no harm. "We are here to help you."

However, Millicent was completely oblivious to anything being said. Her long sword sliced ​​through the air, making a sharp buzzing sound. "I said, don't come near!"

Ah Tui cast a helpless look and said, "Amei, I leave this to you. Calm the patient down."

"Understood. I'll do it." Melina cleared her throat and switched to karaoke mode.

The golden witch sings the sound of nature.

"A familiar... song? I feel like I've heard it in a dream." As Melina hummed, Millicent felt the crimson corruption within her body slow down. The golden melody seemed familiar, but she couldn't recall when or where she had heard it before. "Even if we can temporarily suppress the corruption, it's useless. This cursed nightmare won't end. Now is the time for you to leave."

"Alas... What a stubborn person! After all these years, what he said hasn't changed at all. He is exactly the same as her." Melina stopped singing and sighed helplessly.

Ah Tui directly took out the golden needle and said, "We have a method that can suppress the scarlet corruption. Are you willing to try it?"

Because he was not sure how much the Scarlet Corruption had affected Millicent, according to the plan Melina and he had discussed before entering the church, if she cooperated, everything would be fine. If she did not cooperate, they would use force to suppress her without hurting her.

In short, insert the needle first, save the person, and the rest can be dealt with later.

"Needle..." Millicent dropped the long sword in her hand, her head splitting with pain. "Just inserting a needle into the body can suppress the scarlet corruption. When was that? Did anyone say the same thing to me? I can't remember? I really can't remember?!"

Melina rushed forward, grasped Millicent's cold hands, and forced her to calm down. "Don't force yourself to remember. It doesn't matter if you can't remember. But please trust us."

The warm words contained a familiar appeal, and Millicent's emotions calmed down under the witch's comfort.

"I am willing to... believe what you say." She took a deep breath and brushed away her long hair that was blocking her vision. "Please give me the needle so that I can personally end this with the Scarlet Corruption."

Rather than endure the curse of scarlet corruption and lose herself in the torment of pain and nightmares and die, she would rather take a gamble on the slim possibility.

After confirming that the patient was sane and able to make a calm and correct judgment, Ah Tui confidently handed over the golden needle: "Here you go, hold it steady."

"Because the needle has to be inserted into the body, so..." Millicent took the needle, her pale face flushed. The scarlet corruption was located close to her chest, so the needle had to be inserted close to her chest for maximum effect. This micro-surgery couldn't be performed while wearing clothes.

"So?" Even after being reminded to this extent, A Dai still didn't react.
