Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 161: The Captain of the Tomb Raiders? The Warrior of the Mountain!
Bai Shi explored the cemetery under the starlight.

This time, Bai Shi planned to search the cemetery thoroughly.

The last cemetery I visited was the Border Heroes Cemetery.

After all, it was his family's cemetery, so Bai Shi didn't do anything special to search it.

As for coming to the cemetery here, Bai Shi will not be polite.

Raiding graveyards is an essential part of the life of the faded.

Anything that Bai Shi can remember will definitely not be left out this time.

But unfortunately, Bai Shi remembered that there was nothing good in this cemetery.

I made a special note of it just because it’s a double boss cemetery and it’s closely related to the plot.

There were many bones scattered in the cemetery, spread out randomly on the ground.

As Bai Shi walked past, bones broke with a "crunching" sound.

When the border area's Return to Tree system was still intact, residents only needed to enter the cemetery to enter the Return to Tree.

This is why there are corpses everywhere here. Just lie down in the cemetery and wait to return to the tree.

Inside the cemetery, there are roots of the golden tree on the walls and on the ground, and you can return to the tree through them.

As for coffins and caskets, they are only enjoyed by people of very high status.

However, ever since the Return to Tree system was destroyed by the Dead Prince, no one has visited the cemeteries for a long time.

The cemetery is now covered with spider webs, and only a few white candles are still burning.

Stepping over the piles of dry bones and extinguished candles, Bai Shi walked down the stairs one step at a time.

There was a sudden sound of bones colliding ahead.

Bai Shi looked over there, and under the shining starlight, he could see the situation over there clearly.

In the pile of corpses, the scattered body parts were constantly pieced together towards the sternum in the center, and the knives and round shields held tightly in the two hand bones were also dragged over.

Soon, the skeleton was put together again, forming a complete human figure, and slowly stood up.

It is obvious that this is also a dead born, the most common skeleton dead born.

The Skeleton Deadborn stood up and seemed a little confused. He stretched out his left hand holding the shield and touched his bald skull.

Then, as if realizing that it was already dead, it raised its knife and shield and rushed towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi did not bring the dragon hunting sword and spear when he entered the cemetery this time.

The dragon hunting sword is too large, and even when it is shrunk to its smallest size, it is impossible to wield it in the cemetery, which is very inconvenient.

But now Bai Shi can be said to be omnipotent, so he doesn't have to rely so much on swords and spears.

Bai Shi clasped his hands to his chest, and the Holy Seal of Dragon Feast on his hands glowed red.

Then a bright golden light appeared in front of Bai Shi.

Bai Shi raised his hands horizontally, forming a cross, and the triangular emblem of the Golden Law Fundamentalism appeared in front of him simultaneously.

In an instant, a golden arc appeared under Bai Shi's feet, and countless fine and intertwined golden straight lines were emitted from the arc, rushing towards the Undead in front of him on the ground.

The golden straight lines intersected with each other, drawing a regular grid on the ground.

As the grid quickly covered the feet of the dead born, the power of the holy law continued to wash over the skeleton dead born.

The dead man took two more steps, and then all the bones in his body fell apart and turned into a pool of bones.

Bai Shi walked over and took a closer look.

It was discovered that the aura of death that supported the movement of this dead creature had been completely exhausted, and it had turned back into ordinary dry bones.

The Holy Law is indeed specifically designed for those who are born dead, and the effect is quite significant.

Bai Shi tested the power of the Holy Law of Death and continued to move forward into the cemetery.

Torches fixed to the walls began to appear on both sides of the passage.

But the flame emitted by this torch was not an ordinary flame, but a cold white flame.

This flame is exactly the spiritual fire used by the birds of death.

There were no forks in this passage, no places to explore, and no corpses to touch, so Bai Shi walked very quickly.

At the end of this passage, a heavy metal door appeared in front of Bai Shi.

The outside of the gate has an arched doorframe carved out of stone, and on both sides there is a skeleton statue with a robe on and a staff in hand.

Behind this door is the room where the gravekeeper of the cemetery is located.

At the junction, many underground cemeteries have this structure, with the gravekeeper's room at the outermost part.

Bai Shi walked up to the heavy metal door and looked at it carefully for a while.

This metal door has a huge golden tree carved on it.

But unlike ordinary golden tree statues, the lush golden crown on the cemetery gate only occupies a small part, and the majority of the carving is the huge root system underneath the golden tree.

This is probably because the cemetery bears the function of the golden tree, so the relief specifically features the roots of the tree.

It is usually very troublesome to open this kind of boss room in the game. You have to walk around the cemetery twice and find the mechanism lever of the gate.

When you pull the lever to open the mechanism, you will often encounter several small monsters that have been lying in ambush.

But now it doesn’t have to be so troublesome.

Bai Shi took two steps back, slightly bent his knees to gather strength, and the storm gradually gathered on his body.

Bai Shi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and kicked the door hard.

The metal door was locked in the middle with a heavy mechanism. Even with this force, the door could not be opened, but only sank deeply.

Although the metal door was not damaged, the rock wall next to it could not withstand such an attack.

Cracks began to appear in the stone door frame, and soon it could no longer bear the weight, and the connection with the metal door broke.

"boom--"

The heavy metal door was kicked off its frame and hit the ground with a loud bang.

The metal door was heavy and locked with a mechanism, making it difficult to open, but the thing connected to it was just stone.

Stepping over the metal door that had fallen to the ground, Bai Shi slowly walked towards the room of the tomb-guarding boss.

Continuing down the steps, we saw many dense roots of golden trees on both sides, and they became more and more numerous as we went deeper.

An open, bright space gradually emerges.

This is a fairly wide cave, supported by four thick stone pillars, and many spiritual fire torches are burning vigorously on the walls.

At the deepest part of this room are huge and thick golden tree roots.

There are countless corpses that have returned to the tree and turned into dry bones, which are tightly integrated with the golden tree roots and cannot be distinguished from each other.

The skeleton dead creatures crawled up from the ground and attacked Bai Shi.

Bai Shi ignored them and looked around curiously.

The boss in this cemetery seems to be the cemetery shadow, but why can't I see it? Is it possible that there are only these dead borns here?
Behind Bai Shi, a dark and ethereal figure gradually solidified without making any sound or breath.

This figure is the shadow in the cemetery that Bai Shi is looking for.

The head of the graveyard shadow was held by a strange creature.

This creature has a crab-like body, but has two furry tentacles like a moth.

Ten legs were so thin that they were weird, and they were deeply inserted into the head of the humanoid creature below, controlling its every move. The skinny body of the humanoid creature below was pierced by strange holes, and the place where the heart should be was empty, but it was not affected at all.

It stared at Bai Shi's back with its two empty eyes that glowed with white light.

Without making any sound, he raised the Mantis Brace Knife in his hand, extended the blade of the Knife, and swung it down fiercely.

Although Bai Shi did not notice it gathering behind him, the sound of the sword breaking through the air was still very obvious.

The knife that the shadow from the cemetery chopped down was very fast, but Bai Shi still dodged it by taking a small step forward.

Bai Shi ignored the arrows shot by the skeleton undead, as this kind of attack could not break the defense at all.

After dodging the attack, he immediately turned around, and the staff in his left hand condensed into the Kalia Swift Sword, which swept across and cut off the body of the cemetery shadow.

The shadow's body was neatly split in two.

But when the swift sword left Shadow's body, the upper and lower halves of the body were put back together like mud.

Just when the body was half glued together, the shadow in the cemetery swung the mantis arm knife in both hands again and slashed at it wildly.

Seeing that the slashing attack was ineffective, Bai Shi jumped back to avoid the chop and raised his right hand, and the Holy Seal of Dragon Feast lit up red.

A fierce and savage aura instantly filled the cemetery, and an illusory dragon claw appeared out of thin air and slapped the shadow heavily.

This claw slammed the graveyard shadow to the ground, and most of its body turned into ashes and misty black smoke.

However, as the dragon claw moved away, the shadow in the cemetery was gradually filled with black air again.

Bai Shi looked curiously at the constantly recovering cemetery shadow in front of him.

According to his current output, the Cemetery Shadow definitely owed him blood after this claw, but even so, he didn't die?

Even if some creatures are set up so that they will not die unless they receive fatal injuries, they should not be able to recover if they receive damage exceeding the limit.

Baizhi quickly locked onto the location of the cemetery shadow's weak spot.

It's the crab-and-spider-like creature on its head.

If I remember correctly, this creature seems to be parasitic on ordinary corpses.

Whether it is teleportation or the shadow body between reality and illusion, these should be the abilities of this parasitic creature.

As long as it is destroyed, the cemetery shadow should be completely dead.

While the cemetery shadow had not yet fully recovered, Bai Shi pointed the staff in his hand at its head.

The magic power accumulated in the staff and then burst out violently.

Hey, my pyroxene machine gun!

Grains of pyroxene magic gravel shot out from the staff one after another, forming a dense trajectory, just like a machine gun.

This magic is called Crystal Bomb, which allows the academy magicians to learn simplified magic from the Crystal People.

Suppress the opponent through extremely high attack frequency, leaving the opponent no chance to breathe.

This was one of the magics that Teacher Se Lian had specifically recommended to him to learn and had given him intensive instruction on.

As expected, the parasite, sensing that it was being targeted, sensed the danger and immediately manipulated its host to transform into black mist and disappear from the spot, teleporting to another corner of the cemetery.

This confirms that its body is indeed afraid of being attacked.

Otherwise, with its body that will continue to recover, it won't have to hide.

From the time the shadow in the cemetery appeared until now, it has only taken action once, during the initial sneak attack.

The rest of the time it was completely suppressed by magic and prayer, without any chance to attack.

While it was teleporting, Bai Shi stretched out his hands and released the Holy Law again, clearing out the other Undead Borns in the room.

The staff in his hand swung out the Pyroxene Swift Magic Gravel and Seria's Surprise Attack Magic Gravel, which had a very fast release and flying speed.

After the two types of magic gravel, there is the real killer move, the Night Comet.

As long as it hits the target, the upper body of the shadow and the parasites will be completely shattered.

The shadow of the cemetery in the distance seems to still have some ability to think.

It knew that it would have no chance of winning if it was always attacked from a distance.

After seeing that the Bai Shi in front of it was quite adept at long-range means, it teleported continuously, dodging the magic gravel while getting close to Bai Shi.

This time it did not extend the other half of the blade, but swung both swords quickly.

But this is just a feint, its real killer move is the parasite's body.

The parasite's legs pulled out from the head below and suddenly hugged Bai Shi's head.

If I were to be embraced, I would probably become the next host.

But Bai Shi will not give him this opportunity.

The Holy Seal of the Dragon Feast on the back of his right hand lit up again, and black flames wrapped around Bai Shi's fist, which was swung heavily at the parasite.

Like a ripe watermelon bursting, the head of the graveyard shadow and the parasites living on his head were smashed to pieces.

The shadow in the cemetery was not completely dead yet, and the mantis arm knife in his hand was still swinging wildly at Bai Shi.

But it only barely broke the dragon's scales, leaving Bai Shi with a few wounds that would heal soon.

The black flames continued to burn the parasite, completely burning it to ashes.

As the parasite on the cemetery shadow's head died, the mist that enveloped its body also dissipated, and its bones melted into a pool of real mud.

The graveyard shadows aren't very strong, after all, they're just parasites living on ordinary corpses.

But it is not weak. Even though it is very fragile, it has quite strange abilities.

If not prepared, weaker heroes may also fall here.

But overall, they are still not as good as the heroes, and only their output and special abilities can reach the level of heroes.

Even if Bai Shi didn't have a sword or a spear, he could still deal with it with just the storm or even his bare hands.

However, Bai Shi had never used prayer and magic in battle before, so this time he just wanted to practice a little.

Bai Shi picked up a mantis arm knife from the ground and waved it twice. It felt quite good.

The blade was quite sharp, and the small words in front of Bai Shi indicated that it had been strengthened to +7, which was already very good.

Bai Shi's sword and spear had only been strengthened to +12.

For a curved sword, the Mantis Arm Blade is relatively heavy, heavier than an ordinary straight sword.

However, the excellent design makes up for this weight. When swung, it can easily tear through the air and convert the weight into damage.

When waving it, you can use magic to activate the mechanism, causing the other half of the blade that is folded up on the blade to pop out, turning it into a mantis claw-like shape.

The suddenly extended blade can attack the enemy unexpectedly, which is why the weapon is called Mantis Arm Sword.

Bai Shi picked up the two mantis arm knives, hung them around his waist and took them away.

This is perfect for use if I have to fight the black knife assassin later.

The shadows in the graveyard are very weak, so Bai Shi can practice magic and prayer in a playful manner.

But the strength of the black knife assassin later is uncertain.

No matter what the situation was on the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, no matter how many people there were.

The black knife assassins actually killed the once most powerful demigod, 'Gold' Godwin, in the royal city of Rodel.

Moreover, Bai Shi didn't want to touch the black knife that was infused with the power of destined death.

　There is another chapter tonight. I wanted to post it together, but I only wrote half of it. I'll have dinner first.
