Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 350: The God of War's Number One Fan

Pa Chi~

"Dusk is approaching" Riley was already seriously injured, and was attacked from behind and kicked away, and he fell straight to the ground, forming a gorgeous red flower.

"Ah, no, he's not dead, is he?" The man who suddenly appeared and offered help put his hand in front of his mouth, looking a little flustered.

To my ears, there came the roar of the magic stone giant and the sound of stone spears smashing to the ground.

However, Pollyanna was as agile as a rabbit, and the slow and clumsy big guy couldn't even touch her.

But the man was still extremely anxious, stamping his feet and shouting, "Hey, and you over there, stop it! Stop fighting."

"Roar?"

The Demon Stone Colossus had just crouched down and raised its stone spear high when it was stopped by the opponent and got stuck in a movement that looked awkward and laborious.

Afterwards, the man in the white robe coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked in front of Millicent. Then he suddenly knelt on one knee, put one hand on his chest, and stretched out the other hand to Millicent, and said in a eulogistic way: "Dear lady, it is fate that guides you to come to my humble city, making my humble place glorious and making today's golden glory even more dazzling! Ah~ In you, I can feel that noble, tenacious soul, like the orchid of a gentleman, like the flower that defies the cold, like the wings of a martial god, which no one can reach. This scene makes me want to recite a poem... Quack haha——"

The annoying chant was forcibly interrupted.

Riley, who was still covered in blood, kicked the man kneeling in front of Millicent to the ground. Like an enraged lion, he pounced on the man, twisted his collar, and pressed the dagger against his cheek: "Asshole! What do you mean? Do you want to die? You do want to die, right! In that case, I will grant your wish now."

"Wow, I, I'm just here to tell you to stop, stop hitting me." The man seemed to be in pain from Riley's grip, and explained tremblingly.

"If you want to tell them to stop, shouldn't you go and tell them to stop?" Riley waved the knife at Millicent and me.

“…I, I’m a little scared. I don’t know the person here.”

"Okay, you're not afraid of me anymore, are you? I'll kill you right now, you treacherous thing, and go back to report to the King of Blessing that the Lord of Sunshade City surrendered to the Volcano Mansion and was killed by me personally."

“Eh? Don’t, don’t, don’t…”

——Ah, this...

Millicent and I were left out for no apparent reason and looked at each other.

Apparently, "Dusk is Near" Riley is not that man's subordinate, and the two do not seem to have much friendship. It is speculated that the Evil Omen teacher asked Riley to inquire about the current situation of Sunshade City, and happened to run into the city lord who was driven out.

As for this man, there is no need for me to say much. He is the mayor of Sunshade City, Maremare. As I said before, this guy is the chief fan of the Valkyrie Marlenia. He probably figured out at a glance that Millicent and Marlenia have a close relationship, so he rushed forward happily.

"What's going on now?" Pollyanna also came over, her face full of question marks.

"Oh——" Maremare, who had just been pressed under Riley, suddenly exclaimed. He actually pushed Riley aside, and simply tidied his clothes. Then he knelt on one knee on the ground, singing praises, "I am so lucky that I can meet destiny again today! Gorgeous and charming lady, your gem-like eyes have opened my heart..."

"Huh?" Pollyanna's face flushed slightly, and she raised her foot and kicked directly at Maremare's silver mask, kicking him out.

——You didn't expect it, Pollyanna is not Millicent, she won't be dignified and polite to wait for people to finish talking nonsense.

"Thank you... for your hospitality." But even so, there was still a satisfied smile in Maremare's eyes.

As a result, when he fell backwards, he accidentally bumped into a stone statue. Stars appeared in his eyes, his head tilted, and he fainted with a red nose.

——Good, good guy, you really have enough potential to be a masochist, Maremare.

Pollyanna trembled with disgust and asked in disgust: "What's the matter with this disgusting guy? Can anyone explain what's going on now?"

Millicent, I, and Dusk-Near Riley all looked at each other.

After the incident between Mare Mare, the hostility and anger between them were reduced a lot.

Riley was the first to ask, "So, you are really not from the Volcano Residence?"

"...Okay, I have to admit that I do have some connection with the Volcano Mansion, but I am definitely not a traitor who comes to oppose you and Lord Maremare." I also responded in detail, "In addition, I was entrusted by the King of Blessing to go to the Volcano Mansion to investigate the current situation and the possible fire madmen hiding there... By the way, I don't know if you can see that this amulet was handed to me by the King of Blessing himself."

As I said that, I took out the Green Amber Pendant +1.

Riley just glanced at them, sat down on the ground in a relaxed manner, and sighed: "It seems that I really misunderstood you. Whether it was last night or what I did just now, I have offended you a lot."

Seeing that the wounds on his body had not yet healed completely, and that even Millicent was fine, we accepted his apology.

"But, Riley, you are so hostile to the Volcano Residence, is there something wrong here?"

"..." Riley hesitated for a moment, but still explained, "I was ordered by the King of Blessing to come here to secretly investigate whether Sunshade City is still connected to the Volcano Mansion, but I didn't expect that the death row prisoners in the city rebelled and drove the city lord out of the city. It happened that I met a rebel at this time, claiming to be the blood of the Khoslau family, and it seemed that he was also looking for trouble with the city lord Maremare. This person is still useful to the Rodel King City, and I can only help him temporarily. Although the opponent was a bit difficult, I also repelled him. So, after hearing your conversation last night, I mistakenly thought that you were the helper that person found."

——Khosrow spoke with blood... There is no doubt that it was Diaros.

I couldn't help but stroke my forehead slightly and sigh, feeling helpless and speechless, but also a little relieved.

I feel relieved because Diaros seems to be fine, and I can explain to Lenya. But I feel speechless because Millicent, Pollyanna, and I have all been completely tricked by that guy.

Fortunately, Riley seemed to think that my sigh was due to his fault, and he couldn't help but apologize: "Anyway, I did offend a lot, I hope you can forgive me. Especially, this one..."

He looked towards Millicent. "This is the first time I have seen such a courageous person who would risk his own life to resolve the crisis faced by his companions. I believe those lawbreakers would never do such a thing."

"Thank you." Millicent nodded and smiled.

But immediately, Pollyanna pointed at his head and scolded him: "You're flattering me! Has your brain been completely eaten by corruption? How can anyone be so stupid! Do you want to die? Why do you think I have to follow you so hard!?"

"Why?" Millicent asked in surprise.

——Didn’t he just want to compete with Millicent, so he said something like he wanted to find an excuse for the mission?

Of course, I wouldn’t say that. If I did, I guarantee that this girl would lash out at me.

Pollyanna was obviously at a loss for words after hearing Millicent's response. She finally lost her temper and said, "Yes, I came here to see you make a fool of yourself! But the way you looked just now was not funny at all! Millicent, if you want to die, you must die in my hands! After all, I am better than you!"

"I see." Millicent smiled, wanting to pat Pollyanna's back as usual to help her calm down.

But this time, the other party dodged it.

She walked up to the still unconscious Maremare, kicked her hand, and asked, "So, Zero, this is the guy you're looking for?"

"Ah... yes, it's him." My aunt looked at the sisters with a smile and reacted a beat slowly.

Pollyanna immediately revealed an expression of disgust that showed rejection all over her body.

"...beautiful goddess." Pollyanna's touch seemed to wake Maremmare up. When he opened his eyes, he was still talking nonsense, "Have I gone to heaven? I am so favored, ah——"

Pollyanna rudely stepped on the other person's silver mask again, and turned to me again and asked: "Are we really looking for this guy?!"

"Yes, it's him." I sighed, "Tread lightly, don't hurt him."

——After all, the Maremare in the game, like Atei, has only one life and cannot be blessed with resurrection.

But unexpectedly, this pervert smiled under his mask and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
