Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 402: The Temptation of Going Home (Part )

Seeing his men panicking and talking nonsense, Trone frowned impatiently and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking? Tell me what happened!"

“Yes, yes, Boss!” The evil omen swallowed a few times, looked at me and explained, “After Boss left, we who stayed upstairs did run into Rat Shit again... He also injured several of our brothers.”

"Impossible, Brother Zero has been in this underground cemetery the whole time, and he just came out with Dahei and the others!" Although Trone was furious, he paused for a moment, then turned to ask me, "Could it be that, Brother Zero, what you are talking about is related to what is happening now?"

——As expected of the king of the underground, Tron’s reaction is quite fast.

I nodded and quickly said, "Let's go back and help first. I will explain the matter of the Mad Fire Cult to everyone."

Tron accepted my suggestion and waved his hand: "Brothers, go catch that bastard who is looking for trouble and chop him up for me!"

"Oh!" The Sons of Evil Omen who were liberated from the catacombs immediately crossed the passage in high spirits and returned to the underground avenue.

At the same time, Melina simply explained to Tron: "The Mad Fire Ones are a group of lunatics who attempt to get their hands on the power to destroy the world. One of them has a face similar to Master Zero, and he always uses this to cause trouble for us."

"In the deepest part of this sewer, there are three sealed fingers of Mad Fire. If you want to obtain the full power of Mad Fire, you must go to see the fingers." I also helped to explain, "Teacher Mungert and I originally planned to unite with you who rule this area to set up a trap for that guy and defeat him completely... But, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you all this earlier, Tron."

Trone shook his head. "Tsk, this is no one's fault. I was just angry at the beginning. Even if you explained it at that time, I probably wouldn't bother to listen."

I couldn't help but sigh a little.

Perhaps what Tron said was true, but if there had been no misunderstanding from the beginning, it is possible that Dianhuo A Ling would not have found such a loophole.

However, I did not expect that Tron would be waiting to greet us at the Blessing Point in the catacombs.

After all, after a fight, although he was not as good as Teacher Mongget, he was still on par with me.

When I came here, I noticed that the doors leading to the sewer area were all opened for the first time, which means that Dianhuo A Ling has not come here yet.

So before entering the catacombs, I thought that even if I completed Tron's commission first, I should still have enough time to explain everything if I was quick.

During this period, even if Crazy Fire Ling shows up, Tron can at least hold him back until I arrive.

But unexpectedly, Trone came down.

——Perhaps, he was eager to see his brothers out of prison, so he stayed here.

When we returned to the underground avenue, we saw the Sons of Evil Omen falling to the ground one after another, but the Fire Maniac was nowhere to be seen.

However, the traces he left behind can indeed be seen everywhere.

Especially on the body of the Son of Evil Omen, there were several blood holes that were still emitting gray smoke, and the wounds were faintly flashing with burnt yellow flames.

Fortunately, their brains were not damaged, which means they could be resurrected through blessing.

I guess Dianhuo A Ling also realized that I might have entered this sewer and joined forces with the Son of Evil Omen, so he just dealt with the guy who was blocking the way and left in a hurry.

"Cough cough cough, boss." Suddenly, a weak voice came from the side.

Trone immediately went to help the wounded fellow lying on the ground and asked in a low voice: "Where are those people?"

"Sorry, boss. None of us can match him... He, he ran down the ladder over there."

“······There is only one person coming?” I also asked.

As soon as the ominous omen saw me, he became excited: "Boss, he, he..."

"Calm down, Brother Zero has always been on my side, and he didn't attack you." Tron explained for me.

Evil Omen then swallowed and nodded in response to my question.

"Got it. You should have a good rest." Trone helped the other person lean against the wall.

"Lord Trond, let me help heal this one." Melina stepped forward, chanting a prayer, and a golden light shone in her hands. She placed the light on the ground, and a golden tree began to grow under the dim underground.

Prayer - Little Golden Tree.

Upon seeing this, Tron commanded the other evil omens to carry their unconscious brother to Melina's prayer place.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I said to him, "Tron, the biggest difference between the Mad Fire Man and me is probably his eyes. He is infected with the Mad Fire, and his eyes are red with a turbid yellow color. If you meet him again, just attack him directly."

"······Brother Zero, you said that guy is going to the deepest part of this sewer, right?" Tron asked.

"Well, after all, the Three Fingers of Madness Fire were sealed there."

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Ok?"

"That bastard actually dared to break into my territory and hurt my brothers. I will never let him off!" Trone gritted his teeth and said angrily. Then he said to his remaining brothers, "You heard it too. Stay here and guard. When these brothers come back to life, tell them that if they meet the bastard with red and yellow eyes, they should just chop him up!"

"Yes! Boss." The Sons of Evil Omen responded in unison.

"Let's go, Brother Zero!" Trone carried his big knife on his back and jumped down the ladder tunnel beside the avenue first.

Melina and I looked at each other and quickly followed each other.

To be honest, it's really reassuring to get Tron's help.

As long as we act together, we can avoid, to the greatest extent possible, the possibility of Crazy Fire Ling impersonating me and causing chaos. Moreover, if we meet other Sons of Evil Omens in the sewers again, it will not cause conflicts.

In addition, to be honest, even in the game, I entered the Rodel Sewer ten times and got lost ten times. One of those times, I might even go the wrong way even if I followed the guide. After all, this is the hometown of the old thief Miyazaki! That’s why I was too guilty to say that I knew the map 100%.

Now that we have a local like Trone as our guide, we shouldn’t get lost and go around in circles in the sewers.

Last but not least, Tron’s combat abilities are pretty good.

He can also see through the Blood Dynasty's tactics of sneaking and moving underground, and he will undoubtedly be a great help when fighting against Dianhuo A Ling.

"Get out of my way!"

boom--

You see, with just one strike, Tron chopped the stone imp that suddenly appeared out and sent it flying. It fell from the pipe to the bottom and turned into a ray of golden light that floated back.

However, due to his huge body, the entire pipeline can only accommodate one person.

I put on the holy mark on my finger and a crossbow, followed behind Trone, and provided him with long-range support.

"Gah——"

"Watch out for it, Tron!" In the darkness, a little devil suddenly fell from the sky, but I was well aware of it and shot his sword directly into the head, which also reminded Tron, so he chopped his opponent away with a knife.

At the same time, I also said to Melina, "Melina, you have to be careful with your feet. Those guys may be hiding on the side of the pipe and will pop up to attack us after we pass by."

"I'll pay attention, Master Zero."

Alas, the stone imp is indeed difficult to deal with.

And unlike in the game, the Evil Omen and the others would only chase after Ati and beat him. In reality, they might be the guarding weapons sent here by the Rodel Dynasty, and they would not even let go of Troon who was close.

However, the stone imp is no match for this underground king.

Cutting the Gordian knot, Trone soon led us to find a staircase and walked up.

"······Boss, did you catch up with that bastard so quickly and get rid of him?" The Son of Evil Omen, who was patrolling the avenue in front of him according to Tron's orders, asked in surprise.

Trone was silent for a moment, then shouted angrily, "Damn it, that bastard didn't come this way?! I thought I could catch him!"

Wait, why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
